[QUOTE="naarmstr, post: 1174182, member: 188803"] [b]no audio, MDP - HDMI connection to 42LGX[/b] Hello all, I'm stuck and it looks like this is a great place for answers, so far tho I haven't found a solution to getting audio (video is fine) from my mbp through the tv. - Macbook Pro 7,1 (mid 2010) with Mini DP that supports audio and video - Dynex or Moshi Mini DP to HDMI adaptor (both support audio, both tried) - "Oculus Designs" HDMI cable - [URL="http://www.generalmanual.com/Televisions/LG-42LGX-LCD-HDTV.htm"]LG 42LGX[/URL] When connecting my mbp to the tv HDMI input I receive beautiful picture but no audio, audio only comes through the mac's internal speakers. When selecting my audio output on the Mac's Sound Preferences it detects the tv "LG TV HDMI" but instantly reverts to "internal speakers". I've reset the PRAM on my mac, tried unplugging and differing the power-on sequence to check for handshake issues, and double checked the HDMI cable with my blue-ray player (it works great) to no avail. I can't seem to get audio through my tv speakers despite perfect video functionality :( The only other variable I can think of is the HDMI cable itself, the one I'm using is a few years old and poorly marked. Does it matter which HDMI cable I use? does it need to be at least v1.3? My LG manual is pretty void of info regarding PC hookup Any advice is greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
