I just purchased this I-Adapt connector and using an HDMI cable I am able to see the image perfectly however the sound does not come out of the TV?

Yes. First, stop and close what ever application/movie etc. You need to go to system preferences. Select sound in the Hardware section. Click the output tab. If your HDMI cable is a high enough grade to pass audio to the TV, selecting your TV display should do the trick. Just click or double click the device for output. Now you may relaunch your player and it should work.

When I purchased this a while back I found out that my Mac was not compatible. My iMac is 2008 which is one year before they added the audio capability with this adapter.

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.

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).

You need to go in your settings and you'll see the HDMI cable in the "OUtput" options. That's it

I'm assuming you are using an HDMI cable carrying the video, if so try changing to another video input on your tv.

Mine is September 2010 also. What I did last night was pull the TV back out of the box and hook it back up in our room. In complete silence, I can hear a slight noise when the volume level is between 1-2. If I put it on 0, I hear nothing and anything above 2 I hear nothing. This is a gift for my son for Christmas. Once it's actually up in his room and has been used for a couple days I will check it again. What kind of connections are yall using?

I am sorry but I have not seen the problem you describe with my flat screen. It does not sound normal for the TV. Good luck.

The adapter is fine. Try using a hdtv connection and make you have the tv on the right settings. It's like putting you dvd player on the settings .

I believe I returned this because the audio did not come through this connector... video came fine, but not audio. So if you're not really interested in audio this may be an effective and inexpensive solution. It could have been that I got a defective unit too so you can try this out and if you experience the same issue I did you can return it.

It depends on your TV. Many don't relay sound from HDMI in to their own OUT ports, or (as Brandon suggested) might do so only after their settings were changed (see TV manual). See AVSForum.com for discussion and a place to get more detailed help.

Your T.V. probably doesn't blend the VGA with your audio input. What you need is a 3.5 audio jack to a female RCA jack. This should 100% fix your problem.

Two things: 1. Make sure that the TV option for sound is set to the internal speakers, otherwise it will direct the sound signal to the mini-plug sound output jack on the back of the set (this is used to send the signal to another amplifier to drive external speakers). 2. Make sure that any routing of the HDMI signal to and from other devices is arranged properly (i.e. devices->inputs of receiver and Input to TV is from the TV-out hdmi port)

Use the optical connector. Our takes the sound from the tv back to the unit

The tv needs to have an optical out and the sound bar has the optical in, that'll send the sound thru the tv to the sound bar. If your not getting any sound from the sound bar it's probably in the wrong port.

I've got sound and picture simultaneously. Might be an issue with the unit you received. Good luck

I am guessing you have a smart/web connected TV and you want the sound to come from the receiver. Check if your TV has an audio output either digital/optical . Look at your TV settings . I am guessing the TV has multiple HDMI ports. How would the TV know where to send the output ?

If you connect it via HDMI port to TV, it should have sound. If not, check settings to see if hdmi is turned on (under HDMI). Check you volume on TV.

I would try a different HDMI port on the TV. Some tv ports are not equal to others in the earlier TVs. The message sounds like a TV issue.

Jennifer, HDMI audio is often treated as a separate sound source. You may have to turn the volume up in windows sound settings. Also, you probably already know this: you need a cable for the audio out plug on the back that connects to your speakers.

It could be the way you have it hooked up. I don't experience that problem with mine and it is hooked to HDMI for the video and audio out to a receiver.
