Apr 17, 2010 12:14 PM in response to Card2by Rhyd,The new MBP's include audio via the minidisplayport if you use the newer HDMI adapters. The older MBPs did not. Therefore you need the newer HDMI adapter which does also support audio and video out via HDMI.

is the url for a new adapter by Dr Bott for mini display port to hdmi including audio. Check that one out.
But_... it is displayport to HDMI including audio. You need the new to match the new displayport audio. -

There's two ways:
1) Get another audio cable and feed from the MBP headphone (mini jack) socket to your TV composite audio input (usually twin phono) ((some TV's won't accept this combo however))
2) Get this Adapter from Kanex and it will do video and audio > HDMI

Apr 21, 2010 6:26 AM in response to bawoniby Kads,I've connected my macbook pro to LG plasma tv via mini display port to HDMi and have a perfect picture. Connected from headphone port to audio connections on tv and have perfect sound. The problem is I can't get both of them at the same time. I change the tv to HDMi port for the picture and then change it to AV3 for the sound, but no way of getting the both together. Stuck now -

Jul 15, 2010 4:01 PM in response to Kadsby RolandoS,Kads, I think you need to connect with a single cable that carries both audio and video like the Kanex iAdapt® HDMI V2 - Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter w/ Audio Support, or the Dr. Bott 9180-MDHK - Mini Display Port to HDMI Adapter II, both of which are linked above. -
Aug 30, 2010 8:37 AM in response to RolandoSby ariel.s,wow, this is all great information. i've been looking into removing the audio connection from the headphone jack on the MBpro, but not sure my mini-port to HDMI connection carries audio. i'll have to check when i get home. does the adapter sold by Apple carry audio as well?...because that's the one i have. also, what is the difference between the two dr. bott adapters identified above? they vary greatly in price, but i'm not quite catching the difference between them just from reading the product description. thanks!
