- Your Mac's Specs

Thanks for the screen shot, appreciate it - don't have one of the new Macs myself so hadn't seen that section. Now I've got another place for folks to confirm their Mac supports audio via the mdp.
Before trying them, make sure you've got all the OS X updates via Software Update.
I've not seen enough reports to know if there is a bug related to this or not, so make sure your system is up to date. Don't think there is since the iMacs with audio capability have been out since last Oct.
Things I'd try:
1. Disconnect and reconnect adapter and cable and try different HDMI port on the TV.
2. Open the menu on the TV - some TVs have a setting for the audio portion of each HDMI port that allows it to be changed between digital and analog (ex. Panasonic- not really sure of the typical settings for Vizio - this should not be the cause, but I'd at least look)
3. Try it on another TV.
4. Go visit your local Apple store with adapter and cable in hand. Might call and make appointment first. Some of the Apple stores are carrying that adapter and if you bought it from Apple, you may be able to exchange it right there if it is the adapter malfunctioning.
5. Since you're within the 3 month free phone help on your warranty, if I had time, I'd probably give Apple a call with the knowledge I have the proper adapter, especially if I bought it from them.
6. Send the adapter back as non-functioning and get another - I have a list of 4 adapters in post #4 that have all been verified to work.
