For HDMI input (apple TV) the analog audio out option isn't available. Manual says analog audio out only avail in TV mode. Any work arounds?

And hdmi mode will only work with an hdmi output, does your Apple TV adapter not have an hdmi output?

Not sure. My HDMI carries all my audio from my Roku. IDK if that is helpful. Sorry.

That's a strange question, hdmi connector is one big head. But for analog, have you tried the head phone jack up top for audio out?

You need to change your sound output to the brand of your TV/stereo when you open the Preferences of the your MBP. Change the sound output setting after the hdmi cable was plugged in. System Prefs -> Sound -> Output.You can also check it out in Apple website.

Just use a standard HDMI cable and connect the AppleTv to the receiver (choose one of the hdmi slots avaikable)

Not being one to use that feature, I had to check for myself. And to confirm what has been answered previous, there's 2 audio out ports, 1 for analog audio, and the other for digital audio [optical].

I have a MacBook Pro mid 2008 "2.53 GHz 4 GB". When I connected it to my TV, there no sound coming out. Does anyone have a problem as me? Thx..

You would need an Apple TV and Airplay or similar device connected to the TV to connect a Mac to your TV ( I have a Mac mini and Apple TV connected this way). This device does not output an HDMI signal.

That looks like what I have. I plug an optical plug from my Apple TV to that device but, in my case, then run analog from that to an Smart Board. I would assume, with the right cable connection, you could make it work with headphones. I will tell you that sometimes I've failed to get sound. As I recall, it has always been when reconnecting. Each time I unplugged and replugged in each connecting element and it would work.

No but there is a solution.The audio output is via stereo jack or the hdmi. What I did to have 5.1surround through a n optical cable was to connect the hdmi audio/video out to an hdmi / sprig (optical) splitter. You get as an output the hdmi signal + optical audio. I am using the viewHD splitter and it works perfectly

Hmmm, interesting. I just checked the manual and page 26 gives a very specific wiring chart as to how to set up the component input. Then on page 39 it shows the input settings to match the wiring you selected.I really prefer HDMI as the best way to go. I have everything feeding the receiver with HDMI and one output to the TV. All of my device selections are made through the receiver and it works like a charm. I use their APP for my Apple iPad to control the receiver.For the record, I have not used the component video inputs on this receiver so it is hard to speak from actual experience. Hmmm, interesting.

If you can push sound out of your Apple TV there would be no reason your speaker wouldn't recieve it but I am not sure an Apple TV can push though. I have my Apple TV wired to a receiver so there has never been a reason to try. Mine is for daily music background not theater sound. Ryan

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help.

Go to System Preferences under the apple on the menu bar >then choose "Sound"> then click the "Output" tab>then select the output device (TV) you are connected to. This is the process I went through to get the mac to recognize my television. PS. Please try not to use all caps. It appears as though you are very frustrated at me.

HDMI TV input audio cutout, just picture. I switched to different HDMI input for tv input.

Did you select SOURCE and the proper HDMI port on your TV (not cable) remote ? Have successfully used the adapter cable on several different TV models. You also have to go into the System Preferences (Mac) or Control Panel (PC) to select the proper sound output

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.

Hi I bought this to use in Australia and it works wonderfully but not with Apple TV. It causes interference with the picture and sound. The only way I got the Apple TV to work was to connect it directly to the tv. As I had 2 hdmi ports on the tv I just swapped the Apple TV with the satellite tv and it worked fine.
