I'm using RCA audio and video input jacks. There are also HDMI, coaxial and S-video output jacks.

This is common but makes little sense. With DVI you need to rig a separate audio cable, while with HDMI you don't.Jim

It Outputs on both analog & Digital, but only accepts one input.. So you could output component & HDMI if you really wanted to, but you can not have more then one input type at a time.

on mine the audio only works for output A but you can get a "pass thru analog audio extractor" for the output B. it is made by NYKO. there are a lot of makers of this. Its a HDMI cable with two RCA jacks coming out of the thick part of the HDMI head. this pull of the Audio for sound system

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

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

no i ran across the same problem and forgot that dvi does not carry sound, only hdmi does. so you would have to find another alternative or use a separate cable for the sound

Sure the internal DAC is simple and not sophisticated and will convert the audio HDMI stream to the analog stereo outputs. I use mine only to extract the optical or coaxial SPDIF digital audio stream output that is maintained in its original form in the HDMI stream to analog, using an external DAC as mine Benchmark DAC2-HGC. That is my main use for the unit.

Hi there... I'm not an expert in the subject, but I think you can fix it by going to "System Preferences" and after clicking "Sound" choosing HDMI in output, so it goes through the TV and not through the computer's speakers. Hope this helps!!!

press your tv menu and see if your digital audio input or hdmi audio input is enable, If it isn't enable you would have this problem.

No. HDMI carries audio but dvi doesn't, so you need a separate cable for that.

Because the outputs are RCA cables you have to buy a digital adapter from RCA to HDMI or VGA. You can find them online.

No, it did not work for me. HDMI is diigital and component RCA is analog. They are incompatible. I was trying to connect my PC to a TV that does not have HDMI input. There is a small chance that if your HDMI source is a computer you may be able to change the computer HDMI output to analog but my understanding is that there are few computers that have the capability. My TV does have a DVI input so I bought a HDMI to DVI cable for the video. Then I use a separate cable from the PC headphone output to get the audio. That does work.

No digital out on the laptop. I use a Usb audio interface with a digital output

Not yet, no. Which specific HDMI connection (the output, one of the inputs)?

Hi Eddie.I use a Western Digital Live TV and a Set Top Box. Both connect via HDMI, and both sources have their audio duplicated and sent through the analogue headphone/speaker port. I connect PC speakers to that port and it works great.Greg
