[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 909855, member: 24160"] 1. DVI does not carry audio - attaching a HDMI cable to a DVI does not somehow add the audio to it. Sounds like you have an A/V receiver there? Get a "mini-toslink to toslink" cable to go from your Mac to the receiver for sound. (Stick that part in quotes into an Amazon search, you'll find what you need.) 2. Haven't tested all the video players, but many of them, when playing in full screen, the 2nd screen will auto black out. Just the way of it. Haven't bothered with figuring out why either. Either move iTunes to the TV screen before playing your movie, or turn on mirroring in System Preferences - Displays. [/QUOTE]
