From the 'approved' adapter's page,

"Note: Audio output through HDMI may not function properly for iMac 21.5/27" with the Mac OSX 10.6.4 update. Please do not update to 10.6.4 until Apple has resolved this issue."

Now, Apple, make us happy. 🙂 Period.

I was told at my local Apple Authorized Re-Seller store that since my LCD TV has HDMI, I'd have to use a mini display port to HDMI adapter; however, the audio won't be carried to the TV.

Told them it's ok, but I want to send the audio to my home theater system, which had analog and RCA jacks as well as the optical input - I prefer to use the latter.

Now, help please, what should I do/get in order to connect my MacBookPro to the home theater system's optical input so that the audio filters through there?

Thanks so much guys.
