Could be a couple of things. Goto system preferences on your MB Pro, go to sound, click on optical line out. Also, some older MB Pros could push optical. Another could be the settings with the onkyo receiver. You may have to assign the optical port to that input that you are trying to connect through on the receiver. If you have ever been through the settings before on your onkyo you may have noticed an option for coax or opt. You need to choose opt. Enjoy, and good luck

Thanks for all the answers. Yes, with the VGA cable the sound works. If i use the HDMI i lose the sound.

Yes - I've connected my Mac Mini optical out to the optical in on the receiver unit, and then optical back out to a DAC that connects to some active speakers. This is basically a 'pass through' - it lets me 'bypass' receiver by switching to optical out on my mac. But, I also used the optical out from the Mac - it's just I couldn't get full 5.1/7.1 channel audio out of the Mac, so use HDMI. The optical in/out seems primarily designed to allow the receiver unit to be flexible in how it sits 'in between' existing source equipment, like receivers or soundbars.

Most likely your HDMI board has went bad, which is a known issue with these models. I have the same model and had similar issues to yours. The good news is Onkyo is paying to have these fixed at no charge to the customer, as long as it is within 2 years of purchase I believe. You just need to email jose.torres@us.onko.com and he will set you up with the nearest Onkyo authorized repair center and get you taken care of. This problem is not just an Onkyo one, Denon, Panasonic, and others have it too, but Onkyo is the only one fixing them for free according to my repair facility guy. That says a lot about Onkyo in my opinion, and they have retained me as a customer because of it. Best of luck to you.

I'm on a Mac, but I had to get a different cable than the one that came with it. Good luck.

I have similar problem with this cable. My Samsung TV used to say "No input signal". But the other converter (BestDealUSA or TOOGOO 3-in-1 display port to HDMI) that I have transmits video signal properly. Thats why I do not recommend ththis cable. As far as audio is concerned I dont think Mac's mini display port outputs sound. You can use the sound speakers from the mac book, or connect audio cables from Mac's audio out to TV's audio input.

It took me a long time to hook up this Pioneer unit. I ended up using a toss-link cable (optical digital cable) because I could not get the HDMI sound right. I have had Pioneer units in the past but I should have spent the extra money on an Onkyo. Just buy a toss-link cable on Amizon and plug it in and you will be fine.

Does your receiver have an "optical" output? If it does, try hooking that to the Soundbar. Have an HDMI and an Optical hooked up and they both work fine . . . . .

Given that HDMI is an industry standard, and IF the MAC has an output option for audio and video via HDMI, then yes, it should work perfectly. There is no reason that is should not work; the audio and video components will be separated, with the audio going out via the stereo RCA connectors (red and white), and the video continuing on through the subsequent HDMI cable. You need two HDMI cables.

what receiver model do you have? The newest one does not show RGB output, only VGA, HDMI and the modern modes. If your receiver has an RGB output, then it should work. Check your cable connections make sure they are tight, and color codes matching.

Please google it. I think you might find something on avsforum.com. If I remember, it has been addressed or will be shortly. Not sure if this applies to specific Onkyo models.

yes it is...BUT - you may want to do a reliability check on the Onkyo. There's a rumor afloat about HDMI issues - and i think i've had one already.

Sure no problem! I know my Onkyo is hdmi 1.3a and as I said, i've had no issues so I bet it would work just fine through your Marantz. Good luck!

I have mine connected to HDMI only for display though. Have not tried sound. I have connected to one Mac Mini for office displays. I will warn you some of the adjustments ie screen orientation can only be change via LG software. It is only available for PC and does not work.
