Apple TV and HDMI audio
in [UK Mac]
|
From: Jim on 12 Apr 2010 04:44 A friend of mine has bough an Apple TV. However, they seem to be not getting any audio out of it. It's connected to their TV via an HDMI cable. Are there any known issues with this, or should it 'just work'?

It is so supported. There should be no requirement for additional cables and the documentation makes it clear that you either use HDMI or you use component video and audio cables.

Such a cool concept. Such a rubbish implementation. I'm thinkin' about using my old 1,1 Pro as an Apple TV. Even then I have to play stupid games to get digital audio into the HDMI 'receiver' Why is every single implementation of High Definition TV such a festering mess? -- To de-mung my e-mail address:- fsnospam$elliott$$ PGP Fingerprint: 1A96 3CF7 637F 896B C810 E199 7E5C A9E4 8E59 E248 |
