[QUOTE="Andre, post: 702812, member: 55311"] I'm sure your TV can take more than one input at a time, but I understand that you can't get input from more than one at a time. My TV does not have a DVI port, so I wondered as well. When I plug in my HDMI cable, somehow my TV "knows better" and displays the message "For DVI input, use audio for video-3". Video-3 is a composite input, and I have my Wii plugged in there, so whenever I want the audio from my laptop, I have to unhook my Wii's audio and plug in my laptop's audio. Note that composite has 5 cables; RGB and left and right speakers. For that reason, a DVI to composite comes into the same problem as with using HDMI, which is to say, DVI doesn't carry audio. Maybe you can try feeding your audio directly into the all in one? Are you able to get the video working? If yes, crank up the volume on your Macbook and try plugging it's audio into the different audio ports (ie, the different composite ports). Maybe one will work :) [/QUOTE]
