No sound over Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter

TV is NOT displayed as an option for sound output.

Unplug the TV (not just turn off), and unplug the HDMI cable from the TV.

Not sure if unplugging both is necessary, but it works for me when this happens.

Also, I don't think you have shut down the mac. Last time this happened it wasn't necessary.

I have a Sharp Aquos that is connected via the mini display and shows up on the display, however, it does not show up on audio. It only displays the internal speakers. My Mac is a late 2009 model. It worked with my receiver connected with the audio, but now that I changed to a sound bar working via optical I get no sound. My adapter is third party. Could that be the problem or does my Sharp TV require some adjustment so the TV will show in the audio.?????

Did you check if your computer is on apple's supported list? Only some computers support both audio and video. The list is posted at:

This really helped! Thanks a lot!

I have a 2011 MBP. I use a MOSHI adapter thst has worked continuously for 6 months.

The only problem I have is that it doesn't stream audi for my sharp equoe HDMI1.? adapter. I use opticle cable.

Sorry, i missed one thing.

I believe the tht a 2010 MBP does not support audio over the MPA.How did you make this work?

You're very welcome,

glad to be of assistance 🙂

Read my post above yours. You need to adjust your settings in Audio Midi Setup (in the utilities folder).

This was so much help thank you very much!!!

Thank you so much! You've saved the day!

amazing answer, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge...

As far as I know, I think it might be my MiniDP to HDMI cable. Thanks so much for the help!
