For HDMI input (apple TV) the analog audio out option isn't available. Manual says analog audio out only avail in TV mode. Any work arounds?

And hdmi mode will only work with an hdmi output, does your Apple TV adapter not have an hdmi output?

Not sure. My HDMI carries all my audio from my Roku. IDK if that is helpful. Sorry.

That's a strange question, hdmi connector is one big head. But for analog, have you tried the head phone jack up top for audio out?

In order for my setup to work correctly I have to use both the HDMI and the optical out on my Apple TV. My receiver is a 2001 Integra DTR6.2 which was made before HDMI existed so I run my HDMI into this switch and out to the TV. I then run the optical output from each device into this optical switch - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003C15798/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This works for me. I'm not sure if I answered your question. However one thing that I can tell you is tht this switch will not separate the audio from the video, which is why I needed the seperate optical switch.

Note that even if your Mac is new enough to support sound over HDMI, you may still need to go into your Mac's Sound Preferences and manually change the output from the built-in speakers to the HDMI port. At least, this was the case with my 2011 MBP running 10.9.x; whether auto-magic has since been added in newer Mac models and/or OS versions, I do not know.

HDMI TV input audio cutout, just picture. I switched to different HDMI input for tv input.

The mini display output on a mac does not convey audio. you have to either use bluetooth or the headphone jack for that.

It does have a digital audio input (TOSLINK). But as someone else said, you really only need an HDMI cable; unless you have some other special need, connect the Apple TV to the A/V receiver via HDMI, and then another HDMI cable from the A/V receiver to the HDTV.

Why do you connect audio separately? HDMI should be sufficient to give you both video and audio if you hook it up through a common receiver. At least it works in my case. Try that. Bob.

Because Apple connector has audio as part of its spec, USB does not. You could try an external DAC if it means that much to you, and some Samsung units support a special cable with audio out from the USB plug.

I can give you an emphatic no. When I hook this box up to my Apple TV, the audio sounds beautiful, but it introduces all sorts of static into the picture - which is unacceptable in an era of HDTV. It is utterly useless in this configuration.

Doesn't for me. I just purchased this device specifically to convert my apple tv hdmi output to the component in on an older Sony Bravia (supports resolutions up to 1080i). The video signal fails to convert to something the TV can understand - it's a scrambled mess. My apple TV is 3 years old. Any compatibility or version issues that might be a problem?

If you have a HD receiver you run everything (Blue ray, Apple TV, Cable, Satellite) into the amp and it all connects to the TV via 1 HDMI cable. A lot of people have complained about no audio out but you dont need it if you hook up the way I described above.

If your MacBook was made prior to mid 2010, it doesn't pass audio thru hdmi. You will have to use audio cables in addition to the hdmi cable.

My receiver does not have HDMI and no HD audio. What I do is connect HDMI from the A-400 to my Tv directly and audio to the receiver through optical cable. 7.1 audio is amazing. Like I said, check the A-400 forum for HD audio. It is a huge resource of practical information.I use the A-400 with a 80" 3D TV and I still can't believe how great it looks.The only reason I don't buy one more is because the iPad browser works so well that I can browse my movies, ratings etc from anywhere, pick what I want to see and then manually select that movie on any of my old media players.

No, you can't. I tried it from the apple TV to the HDTV, and noting was coming out. I also tried it with other combinations. Nothing. I Don't recommend this product. It was too late when I found out and I could no longer do a return. I ended up throwing it.

Yes you can. Some Mention to Apple TV is some times listed but it's just an HDMI to VGA with audio converter. Works well for me.

same problem here, I have a Apple TV with Digital Audio Out and a pair of 3.5mm-jack speakers. Can I use this cable for this endeavor?
