[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1622171, member: 24160"] Every Intel Mac Mini has a combined digital/analog audio port and does indeed support optical output. But, that doesn't help you. DVI does not output audio and I have not seen a DVI+optical audio to HDMI converter - primarily because it's pretty pointless sending a 5.1 audio signal to built-in TV speakers. If your TV does not offer a separate audio input that works with at least one of your HDMI ports... To get sound on the TV, you will need: A converter similar to [URL="http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011405&p_id=8124&seq=1&format=2"]this one.[/URL] (All such converters require a power cable.) Connect DVI-I cable from mini to the converter - if what you already have is a DVD-D cable, I think that will work also. Need a 3mm stereo mini-plug to RCA audio cable to the box... And your HDMI cable. [/QUOTE]
