Any chance of a pass-through model? I have a Mac Mini hooked up to my HDTV and only encounter this problem when the TV is off.

The device you need is the HDMI Detective Plus from Gefen...Gefen HDmi Detective PlusThat fools your source device (or computer) into thinking that there is alway an HDMI display connected. And it has pass-through, so that the signal can continue onto your display (or A/V receiver).

You want to look at an hdmi edid emulator. I tried one but it didn't work, so I went with an AppleTV, and the Compulab product to enable AirPlay mirroring.

Problem I had with this is I was going from my DVI port on the Mac to HDMI using an adapter cable, but the DVI port doesn't carry audio, only video. My work around was then wiring an audio cable from the headphone jack of the computer to my surround system. (In my case I used a 3.5mm to RCA cable). Gets messy with extra wires but it does the trick for now.

Hmm, I'm not very familiar with the technological aspects of iMacs, since I only use my mac to surf the internet, write my papers, etc. I originally bought a tera grand adapter because I wanted to watch movies on my television and not on my computer. I don't know what's going on with your fried HDMI ports. I don't have that problem. Perhaps, you could ask someone else? I honestly can't answer this question. Sorry!

You have to go under your control panel (can't remember what it's called on a mac, but it's your system preferences/options) and set it to use your usb speakers instead of your macbook speakers. I have the same issue with the headphones and with the HDMI port when I hook it up to my tv.

This happened to my Samsung TV very recently. I purchased one of those units and it did the trick. There was a setting on the TV that I had to change to switch to the external port though. I am sure your set has something similar, or it may not be necessary.

Did you select SOURCE and the proper HDMI port on your TV (not cable) remote ? Have successfully used the adapter cable on several different TV models. You also have to go into the System Preferences (Mac) or Control Panel (PC) to select the proper sound output

Thats weird, i'm not sure, I have had a few different issues that might be cable related... just flickering out and back in. Also sometimes after being on too long... it will cut out then I have to leave it off for a bit and turn it back on maybe overheating. I have not seen this issue yet, I would change the cable, if not that probably RMA.

Yes, I have ours fed into two Sharp 70" led panels and the HDMI audio feed works through both panels with no issues at all. The room has its own audio so we don't run the sound on the panels, but the option is there and works. Did you get all the way into the sound settings on your mini? I'm not a Mac whiz, so I don't know exactly which steps you take, but there was more than one until we saw the HDMI choice. Actually the Mac is a dual boot to win7pro and it works on that operating system too. I can't stress how happy I was when I got my hands on the accell adapters, passive adapters just plain screwed me around in circles!

I did exactly what you want to do. I have just purchased a Mac Mini and used the HDMI out from the Mac into the HDMI in on a Vizio 1080p 24 inch widescreen LCD TV/Monitor. Absolutely no problems. The screen was recognized on boot up and I get great picture and sound. I did not even need to adjust the size of the screen.

John, This particular happens to have an HDMI output on the video card that also allows audio passthrough. All that would need be done is to connect the computer to the TV via the HDMI ports on each device. The computer should automatically select the HDMI output as the correct output, and you would need to set your TV to the correct input. If you have a receive your are instead hooking this up to (like a surround sound receiver or a multi DVD player/DVR) then the process is similar. Consult your auxiliary box's manual for further assistance.

Paired it with Mac Mini, some times disconnects if idle for a long time (15+ min) but switching it off and back on again fixes the issue

My experience has been that the Mac end of the cable does not obstruct adjacent ports.Hope this helps.

Thanks! That makes sense. I did get a message that said something about HDCP. Can you recommend any HDMI cables that are HDCP compatible? I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on one, but maybe I just have to. I also read on avsforum about firmware updates, etc. I guess I'll try a new cable before contacting Samsung.

I have the same problem. I can only hear the audio over the Apple TV but not the video. If I had it to do over again I would buy a Roku. Apple the signal a lot.

Have you gone to system preferences -&gt; displays when the Sanyo is plugged in? The Mac may recognize the monitor but hasn't fully synched with it. I'm not super techie, but I have had to set the preference on my Panasonic for best video and sound. After that it sets up correctly.

Certain macs dont hold the ability to play the sound through the tv. I use external speakers and they work great!
