[QUOTE="richardclarke, post: 1049722, member: 48384"] Hi, I have an iMac 21.5 December 2009 connected permanently to the TV to watch DVDs, downloaded films etc. usually via front row. I have a Sony Bravia KDL-32U3000 ([url=http://www.sony.co.uk/product/t32-u-series/kdl-32u3000]KDL-32U3000 (KDL32U3000) : TV & Home Cinema : Sony[/url]) and the iMac is currently connected via the mini display port to HDMI and the audio via a standard audio cable via the headphone jack. Obviously this is a little inconvenient as every time I want to use Skype, watch a youtube video on the Mac I have to disconnect the audio cable. So I am trying to find a solution where I can leave the TV permanently connected to the Mac and I can choose which Audio comes out through which audio output. i.e. Quicktime or Frontrow through audio output and all else through inbuilt speakers. Is there any way of doing this? I have also heard there are mini display port to HDMI cables that now transfer audio as well. Where can you get these? and would this work as a solution? i.e. would that cable transfer the video and audio for just things using the mini display port or would it output all audio? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I am worried that continually plugging and unplugging the audio jack is going to eventually break it. I have read the whole of this thread but I am still quite unsure of how to solve the problem. Thanks a lot [/QUOTE]
