[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1134884, member: 24160"] [B]sachilshah:[/B] Haier has not made the owners manual available for this TV. So, you'll have to help me help you a little on this one. I have never even looked at a Haier TV either. A couple of things first; some TVs can use any HDMI port and use a separate audio input, some will not accept a separate audio input. The ones that do allow it (which is most fortunately) may require you to use only one of the HDMI ports and others will allow you to use any HDMI port. First thing to look at on the back of your TV is to see if one of the HDMI ports is labeled as DVI/HDMI or similar. If so, you must use that port for separate audio. Then you need to look and see if there is an audio port labeled as DVI Audio on the TV. The audio port could be one of these: (outdated image link removed). This would be called a stereo mini-plug or stereo 3.5mm. This will look just like the audio port (aka headphone jack) you have on your Mac. Or it could look like this: (outdated image link removed). This is most commonly called an RCA jack and is the most common on TVs. Depending on which of those you have, you will need either: a stereo 3.5mm mini-plug cable such as [URL='https://www.amazon.com/']this[/URL], or a stereo 3.5mm mini-plug to RCA cable like [URL='https://www.amazon.com/']this one[/URL]. If you have nothing labeled per the above, you'll need to either provide the names of the ports on the back of your set, or better yet, post a picture and I can take my best guess based on the ports.
