MacBook HDMI to TV has no sound

BY GEORGE I SOLVED THE PROBLEM!!!!!

For Everyone who STILL can't get sound to your TV, I used a simple auxiliary cord from my headphone output on my computer into my PC Audio In the back of my TV... My MacBook I use to connect to my TV is a 2009 MacBook and my TV is a 2014 Insignia LED flatscreen.... after 2 years of searching for answers on this thread and people NOT understanding our struggles that the OPTION to select your TV DOES NOT show up in Preferences>sound LoL.... this is the only other solution. I now have sound from my TV and can sit in my bed and watch with remote in hand ;-) hope this helps.....

This was the solution that worked for me! No software or extra downloads... Simple..

Thanks

THANKYOU! Such a simple solution

thanks

The solution is actually very simple. First verify that your screen is actually displaying on your TV. If you're seeing your desktop on your TV, then you're HDMI cable is functioning and you're on the right step. Next, open utilities and once again, make sure your TV appears on your displays. Next, go on the Utilities menu once again but this time, click on Audio. From there, select your TV and voila! Your TV should be playing your computer's audio 😀

I'm glad I just went straight to the last page of this thread and found this. I also have a 2009 macbook and I think it's ridiculous that the Mini DisplayPort doesn't fully function with our laptops. I was wondering about an aux cord and I'm glad it worked for you! I'll be heading out to get one.

I also had to change the Mhz settings.
