This is regarding connecting my macbook pro to the TV. I had an HD tv, it burned out and so I bought a new one (much better and obviously newer than my last one). The one I have now is a Samsung ES5500 (see below for link to more info) but now that I've installed my new tv and connected my computer no sound is transferred to the TV.
Samsung ES5500 (UE-46ES5500) LED LCD TV Review | AVForums.com - UK Online
With my old TV I had the Mac Mini Display to HDMI adaptor plugged into the HDMI port in the TV, along with an RCA chord. My macbook pro is from 2009 therefore the mini display port cannot transmit the audio, but with my previous flat screen tv it worked just fine with the RCA cable in addition on the HDMI setting.
Can anyone verify whether there is some setting on the mac to change (I've checked in system preferences for both sound and display and exhausted all the options) or is there a setting on my TV I should know about? I hope I don't have to buy any new chords, it doesn't make sense to me that it worked perfectly well without changing any settings on my mac for my old TV and now this new and better one will not take the sound?
Please help I am going nuts I've spent the entire day trying to figure this out
Thanks!!
