"Doesn't work" is not very descriptive. I have three of these all on Dell monitors. So first, what do you mean "on my macbook pro"? That is a laptop and the soundbar is designed to mount on the bottom of a standalone (Dell) monitor. I don't see any reasonable way to use this with a macbook other than mounted to a Dell monitor that is being used as an external display (with the appropriate Apple Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter, or as appropriate for your macbook.) Then plug the video input cable from the soundbar to the headphone jack on your macbook.

I answered not sure if the answer came thru... any I have a 6300 Samsung w/ sound bar and Mac mini i have an audio out adapter w/ Red and White line so I use the cable that came with the Soundbar. All three are plugged into the back of the unit and only the red/white in the adapter then into the Line Out so Mode is set on Line N THE TV IS SET ON TV speaker. Should be able to find audio out cable. I got mine at Sears (BN39-01154G) try radio shack or amazon. Speaker works great for iTunes or the Smart TV. Good luck.

You might want to try going into System Preferences then click on "Sound" and change the output. I have a MacBook Pro laptop and I can only get the sound out of my computer because it was built before 2010 or 2011. I can't remember the exact year. Sometimes the sound wasn't loud enough so I had to buy a little speaker that plugs into the USB port. UGH!! I hope this helps. Ramona C.

Oh, sorry :) I don't know specifics about the apple adapter, but it seems like sometimes you have to go to the settings and actively select audio out from your speaker menu on the mac. I have an HP with a dock so it is a little more confusing, but I have heard of people needing to go to the audio menu and toggling it on. Get a cheap one from amazon and try mesing ith the settings. If you are still under warranty, it might also help to talk to a genius. They might have some ideas that don't involve the iTV. I think straming from your mac would be faster.

I had to go into system preferences (Mac) and change speaker settings. It should recognize your new TV as an external device and give you an option to select. Hope this works!

First of all, have you changed the audio settings on your computer? that may be the problem with the adapter you currently have! Go to System Preferences, Sound, then click the Output tab and change it to HDMI.If that doesnt work, it might depend on what model your mac pro is. only models made in mid-2010 and later support audio.If it still isnt working, you could always buy a 3.5 mm to 3 RCA AV Audio cable in addition. This cable connects to your computers headphone jack and to your tvs three red, white, and yellow jacks. just make sure you change the audio settings on your tv from digital to video if you do so.

I bought a refurbished Samsung Sound bar and have nothing but problems. I have even had the cable company out-and they cannot figure out why it does not work. Will play-but both DVD and cable it goes to black screen and says to check the signal. I am off to Sears to buy a new one.

As far as I know older macbooks cannot send sound through the HDMI port. When I hooked my macbook pro up to the TV I had to also plug in a headphone jack. I'm not sure if this will work with only a TV as I have an AV receiver to route sound through. If you have an AV receiver that has optical audio capability, your macbook (pro?) can output optical audio, at a much better quality than analog, by using a mini toslink adapter. Good luck.

I have mine connected to HDMI only for display though. Have not tried sound. I have connected to one Mac Mini for office displays. I will warn you some of the adjustments ie screen orientation can only be change via LG software. It is only available for PC and does not work.

Can you get sound from the Tv from the connected computer? Some laptop models didn't have the sound capability built into the mini dvi ports. I know my (early 09) MacBook only pushes picture through, while my girlfriend's(10-11?) MacBook pushes sound and picture.. Go to your system preferences, and click sound. If there's an option to play through HDMI, then you can do it, otherwise, you can't.Check the settings on your computer, and on your tv. Some TV's won't push sound from certain ports to another without having 'external speakers' on and some other options checked first

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

If your computer has an HDMI port or bluetooth connectivity then yes it should work with this soundbar...

I'm actually not sure which is which with the display ports but I have a macbook pro and it works. I've actually found that to get the sound to work, you'd have to change the settings on your computer for the sound to come through the adaptor (to the tv) rather than the speakers on your computer. Hope this helps.

You need to change your sound output to the brand of your TV/stereo when you open the Preferences of the your MBP. Change the sound output setting after the hdmi cable was plugged in. System Prefs -> Sound -> Output.You can also check it out in Apple website.

I doubt seriously if your problem has anything to do with the pillow speaker. Check the sound settings on your macbook. If you can't get it to work, take the MacBook to your Apple storemIt works great on my Note 4 and my Samsung tablet.
