HDMI sound out from MPP?

Early 2015 MacBookPro Retina. OS 10.14.6 (stuck there due to a program I need).

Does the HDMI output transmit sound out?

I'm connecting to a Yamaha A880 receiver and get no sound, but do get video.

Thanks.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

Hey there Walletarian,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We're happy to provide some assistance.


Have you tried changing the sound output? Look here:

If you are only experiencing issues when using the Yamaha receiver, we recommend contacting the manufacturer for assistance.


We hope this helps.


Have a great day!

Thank you Rob_H1. Every day is a good day. Some are better than others!


I did try the Sound Output Settings. I did see the Yamaha receiver, but no sound went thru to the ARC input on the TV.


I will try to connect directly to my 2019 Samsung TV HDMI and check for SOUND OUT.

I'd been told old Mac's don't transmit sound thru HDMI. In fact, during an OS upgrade (using OS 10.14.6), I had to stop using the HDMI port, and use a lightning-HDMI adapter.


Thanks again.
