I'm looking for a cable that will pass sound/picture to my hdtv from my mid 2009 13" macbook pro too, do you know if that exists? Thank you in advance.

Yeah, this did it, but it worked once and then never again. The reviews were shaky for this product and I went for it, but I'd recommend getting an adapter rather than this cord

it stopped working when I upgraded to macbook latest OS and there's no drivers, the cable right now is useless for me

This cable worked for that very thing but it's also stopped working after about a week. I didn't read the reviews before and had I, I would have continued my search for a better one.

Problem I had with this is I was going from my DVI port on the Mac to HDMI using an adapter cable, but the DVI port doesn't carry audio, only video. My work around was then wiring an audio cable from the headphone jack of the computer to my surround system. (In my case I used a 3.5mm to RCA cable). Gets messy with extra wires but it does the trick for now.

Can you get sound from the Tv from the connected computer? Some laptop models didn't have the sound capability built into the mini dvi ports. I know my (early 09) MacBook only pushes picture through, while my girlfriend's(10-11?) MacBook pushes sound and picture.. Go to your system preferences, and click sound. If there's an option to play through HDMI, then you can do it, otherwise, you can't.Check the settings on your computer, and on your tv. Some TV's won't push sound from certain ports to another without having 'external speakers' on and some other options checked first

Works Great with my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air into the HDMI port on the TV. The current MacBook Pro has a HDMI port on the right side and I have used both Thunderbolt to HDMI and HDMI to HDMI alternately. This cable works and is good quality. I bought 3

I have a Macbook Air and use the Apple adapter to HDMI, and wish to connect to a Infocus IN102 DLP projector through the RGB/Component video socket. Sound is not an issue as I use a separate speaker system. Will the AmazomBasics HDMI to DVI cable work?Thanks,Bulldog1803

If your MacBook was made prior to mid 2010, it doesn't pass audio thru hdmi. You will have to use audio cables in addition to the hdmi cable.

Hey John! Yes, this cable will work. I have a MacBook Pro and I have used this cable successfully. BUT, it WILL NOT carry the audio. You will have to use the audio-out on the MB Pro to your speakers/sound system.Hope that helps!

Yes, I use it with my MacBook Pro. And, yes, you do need a connector cable. I can't remember what I got, but it was about $25--maybe VGA to Mac? You better research that one--don't take my word on what kind it is, but only that you DO need a cable to make it compatible.

As far as I know older macbooks cannot send sound through the HDMI port. When I hooked my macbook pro up to the TV I had to also plug in a headphone jack. I'm not sure if this will work with only a TV as I have an AV receiver to route sound through. If you have an AV receiver that has optical audio capability, your macbook (pro?) can output optical audio, at a much better quality than analog, by using a mini toslink adapter. Good luck.

this cable supports sound. when connected just go to system preferences>sound>select the monitor or tv you want....Though i recommend buying the cable made by apple. I bought this one and the quality of the cord is poor.

Hello, if your mac has internal or external mounting procedures bluetooht should work.I have a TV and it works perfectly. I hope you have served.

I have a MacBook Pro and it's great if you need to stream from your computer to a tv. Your tv has to have the HDMI outlet. I will say I use this only when showing iTunes content or things from my computer that cannot be streamed via Chromecast.

Joseph-This will happen if the computer you're using doesn't support audio pass-through via DisplayPort. Check your model to ensure compatibility. Alternatively, if your model is compatible, ensure that your TV is selected as your audio output device (on a Mac, in System Preferences, Audio, Output).

I have. After a few months my Mac was not detecting my external display. I was able to unplug this adapter a few times and eventually it would detect the tv display. However after another month or so it stopped working all together. I ordered a replacement and it has been working so far, there are few options for early 2010 MacBooks.

We tried and it worked. We were using a Dell E6410 and a Sharp 50inch HDTV on the other end. Audio was ok (just a very tiny bit of delay). However, we later switched to Giffen Technology and we can usethe Giffen for Mac and Windows without any drivers installation. If Windows is all you need then this is economical. If you dont want to deal with drivers and/or want to connect a mac at a later date, try Giffen.
