[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1510245, member: 24160"] Not a problem. The Samsung owner's manual has gotten real bad and has no pics for anything any longer so it makes assisting with their TVs a little harder now. I believe you may have it all connected correctly. Pretty sure you can use any HDMI port for the video. But, check and see if there are specific HDMI ports on the TV that are labeled "HDMI/DVI" - if so, you must use one of those. Then the DVI audio port should automatically give you the sound with that HDMI port. You should be using an audio cable like [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0047741BG/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]this one[/URL]. If the sound preferences are indicating the headphone jack as the output, that would be correct also. One other thing - the headphone jack does not act like a line output... e.g. you must have the volume turned up on your Mac in order to get the sound to the TV. I've made this mistake. Make sure the sound on the Mac is turned up to about 75-80%. I actually use closer to 100% on my '06 Mac. And, you may still need to turn the TV volume up higher than you usually do. edit: I don't think this applies to Samsung - this is primarily a Panasonic option. If the above is still not working, while you're watching video from the Mac, head into the Settings for the TV. This could be under the HDMI input settings or the Audio settings. What you'll be looking for an option to change the audio input from digital to analog. [/QUOTE]
