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?

Go to System Preferences under the apple on the menu bar &gt;then choose "Sound"&gt; then click the "Output" tab&gt;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.

I can give you an emphatic no. When I hook this box up to my Apple TV, the audio sounds beautiful, but it introduces all sorts of static into the picture - which is unacceptable in an era of HDTV. It is utterly useless in this configuration.

Since it's HDMI to VGA, the VGA would not support audio by default.The HDMI does not interfere with the audio out on my MacMini.

The older version of this iMac does not have audio in the hdmi cable, you need a separate audio cable. I believe (not absolutely sure) the older hdmi cables do not carry audio.

No this is designed to work the opposite way. It is designed for a DVI input and an HDMI output. The HDMI is designed to be an output to the TV. Not an input from the Apple Tv.

You need an air mid 2011 or newer running moutain lion or newer. Then you can mirror using the built-in airplay functionality. I had good luck with this device using ios6 on the iPad with this device, but ios7 is hit or miss for video, audio always works. You may find the same problem with newer versions of OSX. Also not all tv'a recognize this device as a valid HDMI input

I answered not sure if the answer came thru... any I have a 6300 Samsung w/ sound bar and Mac mini i have an audio out adapter w/ Red and White line so I use the cable that came with the Soundbar. All three are plugged into the back of the unit and only the red/white in the adapter then into the Line Out so Mode is set on Line N THE TV IS SET ON TV speaker. Should be able to find audio out cable. I got mine at Sears (BN39-01154G) try radio shack or amazon. Speaker works great for iTunes or the Smart TV. Good luck.

You've come across the same issues that I have in trying to set up my Apple TV. Basically the problem is that the instructions work fine -- as long as you are willing to let Apple TV be your "one and only" device. Most folks want to do what you and I do, though, use several devices via HDMI. I believe the only way to do that is with an HDMI splitter -- and not a switch. Use that and you're stuck with having to take still another step to do what should be seamless. I love Apple products -- in the abstract -- but their mindset is that they don't care to play nice with other technologies.

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 mine connected to HDMI only for display though. Have not tried sound. I have connected to one Mac Mini for office displays. I will warn you some of the adjustments ie screen orientation can only be change via LG software. It is only available for PC and does not work.

Try going into your settings & selecting "Sound." Then ensure that device for sound output is the TV & not your MacBook Air. Hope this helps.

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

I have not tried this audio should come out with HDMI I wonder if you have to change sound output in control panel settings

The mini display output on a mac does not convey audio. you have to either use bluetooth or the headphone jack for that.

Yes you can. Some Mention to Apple TV is some times listed but it's just an HDMI to VGA with audio converter. Works well for me.

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.
