[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1015263, member: 24160"] Just to be clear - I think chas meant a mini-displayport to HDMI cable would not carry audio. HDMI does carry audio. It is currently the only video cable that does carry audio, although the displayport specification has the capability to do so. HDMI will not carry audio if you're connecting it to an adapter/port that does not carry audio, which at this time is every other video cable and port. (edit: Beginning with the 2010 Macs, the mini displayport now carries audio) To the OP, have moved your posting into the sticky thread. Am assuming you want the sound through the TV and not a separate audio system? Out of time now (off to work), will post back, probably much later today unless someone comes along and gets it right first. [/QUOTE]
