[QUOTE="Andre, post: 702255, member: 55311"] An HDMI cable can carry BOTH video and audio signals, which is why a DVD player can be hooked up with just one HDMI cable. On the other hand, DVI is video only. Your Macbook has a mini-DVI output, which is used for external displays, but this port does NOT carry audio. For that reason, you will always need two cables coming from your Macbook; one for video, and one for audio. For audio, you should use your "headphone" jack. Get a cable which has one end as a headphone plug, and the other end is two RCA plugs (that is the red and white ones). You should be all set :) [/QUOTE]
