My HDMI cable will only send the video from my labtop to HD tv , audio connection keeps getting 'unplugged' will this wirless unit solve this problem?

Hmm, I've never had problems with the audio connection becoming "lost" with an HDMI connection before, so I can only assume that you may have a bad HDMI cable. If you don't mind an HDMI cable, then probably a cheaper solution is to get another HDMI cable and see if you still have the problem. Otherwise, I would be kind of worried about your laptop HDMI connector. You might want to use/borrow another laptop to see if you have the same problem. In any case, I have tried 5 different laptops (Toshiba, Dell, Apple (Air Mac), Sony, Lenovo) using the Aries and have outstanding success (easy connection, etc.). However, these laptops worked just fine (originally) with an HDMI cable - we just got tired of tripping over the cables all of the time.

On the 'labtop' go to your settings and set the audio output to your TV instead of your laptop's speakers.

My educated guess is that this unit might solve the problem, but my question is as follows: Will a hardwired HDMI cable connect your laptop to the TV complete with audio and video and without any other connections between the laptop and TV? If the hardwired HDMI will carry both audio and video, then this unit will probably function fine. (My qualifications are: I spent 40 years in the computer business as a technician and software developer.)

Not sure it will completely resolve your issue. However, we use this in our conference room on a daily basis without issue. Make sure you are using a good quality HDMI cable. Hope this helps!

Your HDMI cable may be older and not support audio. Try switching cables. Try switching output from the splitter.

HDCP is copy protection. I would try another source for HDMI... as it may be working fine and rejecting the content you are attempting to play.

Hi Deborah, I have been successful with my hookup and audio. At this point I would make sure your laptop supports a direct HDMI connection and that you have changed your audio output in the control panel under whatever O.S. you have. Hope this helps. Also, in some situations, the audio is going to default to the laptop if the connection is a HDMI Input. You want a HDMI Output on the laptop.

I assume you have another digital audio input for your hdcp input, yes? There should be no problem.

No this works the other way around. Look for an HDMI - AV converter...(make sure it has DHCP support)

I'm sorry, I've only tried HDMI, but that works fine. Can you try that connection, just to your tv temporarily to verify everything is working?

I also had problems with the digital audio connection. I was never able to get any sound out of that output. I read in other forums that only TV audio will come out from that connection and it won't work to pass through audio from other sources (hdmi). Ultimately, I had to connect my devices' audio directly to my home theatre system. This work-around was not ideal, but got the job done. Just a little more hassle to change a/v sources since I have to change both the TV and the home theatre receiver.

1st off, make sure it is HDMI CABLE directly it the Tv and not on a switcher, that's what I did and finally figured it has to be connected directly, if that isn't it, call sony

If you have a laptop that accepts an HDMI cord, or have an extender it should work fine. You might want to lookup your specific laptop to ensure that both audio and video will be transferred to the HDTV.

You must connect all of the adapter wires to the tv to get full sound and picture transmission. If you leave any of the connectors unplugged it won't work properly.

You should be able to use a DVI cable with the audio cable giving you sound and picture I had the same problem and it worked for me.

There shouldn't be any trouble connecting to the display through HDMI. Make sure all the settings on your computer are correct and the display mode is set to HDMI. If all else fails, you may have a faulty unit.

Your HDMI cable may not send the information, use one with audio return and internet capabilities. If you have it hooked to a cable or satellite receiver they (nearly all Directv and some others) cannot send the required signal, it's not the splitter, rather it's the unit hooked to it. If your signal is coming from a DVD, Blue-ray etc it should work. Check to see if the receiver is showing PCM or something else as an input source signal. The receiver should be able to decode the signal from the source via HDMI as long as the signal is provided to it at the input. Just a side note, if you have a DVR or other device as a source run the splitter directly from this device to the splitter and then to other devices such as a second receiver or a TV. If you run it to the TV then to a receiver or other device you may run into a problem as many TV's do not send the required signal out (even if it says the TV does or does not address that issue). Good luck, I know the units should send the signal but, you can email J-Tech if you can't find the problem and they will help, or send you a replacement if it is defective. However, I have several friends who have purchased the J-Tech on my advice and ALL their minor problems dealt with issues other than the splitter. On one system I had to turn everything off and hook up the connections then power up the connected devices then the splitter; it was an ARC problem but, that seemed to cure the problem. Again, good luck.
