• MacBook Pro & Samsung Smart TV: could not get the display via HDMI

  Hi Forum members,

  I'm not able to get the display of macbook to smart tv via HDMI cable.  Here are some of the conclusions that I have. Can someone please shed some light on this weird question.

  MacBook Pro Rentina 13 "El Capitan 10.11.5.

  Samsung Smart TV 48 "UA48J6200

  Crush - HDMI cable.

  
  

  -TV says 'No Signal'.

  -J' checked the cable is good since I'm able to get my Dell Latitude processors E7450 and controller display.

  -Go to Preferences > display. I see no possibility to detect the display etc...

  -Able to connect same macbook to the sony smart tv at my friend using the same cable and it's all good.

  At this point, I am not able to understand where is the problem... TV or Macbook

  Thank you.

  Hmm. Have you tried to get your friend or someone connect to your Samsung Smart TV?  It does seem like your Macbook or the cable are the issue.

  Edit: actually re read your post. I think that to see the option detect go to Preferences > poster under view press on and hold down the option key. bottom right, it should appear.

• Pavilion TS 14: Projection TV via HDMI cable

  Bought the laptop in 2013, found I couldn't connect the laptop to TV via HDMI cable, the HP support team fixed by using remote access to my laptop. I recently installed and uninstalled Windows 10 and have found that I have the original problem of not being able to connect to my TV again.

  No one knows what to do to fix it. I have prints of what HP has done to fix previously, but it did not work.

  Any suggestions?

• Connect XPS 17 LCD TV via HDMI cable

  I have a XPS 17 L701X- and I'm trying to connect it via HDMI cable for a 32 '' LCD TV Phillips girlfriend with backlight. However, no matter what I try, the laptop never acknowledges that the TV is there and vice versa. I tried to restart, reinstall the video drivers, fiddling with settings in the control panel for multiple screens, tried two new HDMI cables separated from Amazon - and nothing works. (The TV works fine when it connects its Macbook via HDMI). Can someone please help?

  Well Mitch, I advanced and bought this adapter part and, lo and behold, the work of workaround! First try also (at least in my case)-without debugging or diagnose.

  Process, my three steps:

  (1) I plugged the adapter Mini DisplayPort for my XPS (around the back next to the HDMI port); (2) I connected the HDMI cable to the adapter (the other end of the cable is already connected HDTV); (3) I have pressing F1 on my XPS and duplicate selected (key Windows + P or "Connect to a projector" If you work via Control Panel).

  (I used StarTech Mini DisplayPort HDMI adapter)

  -site of the factory that it lists as $22, but I bought mine from a local store of tech for less than half that price. I hope this helps!

  Hi Ashley... B,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  Which version of Windows Vista is installed on your computer?

  1. first you need a video cable to make the physical connection. For a better image quality, you must connect to the computer to the TV using standard VGA ports or via DVI to HDMI cable provided your TV supports these ports.
  2. open the "display settings" in your Vista computer and activate the output to the TV screen. You can reflect the content of your computer on the TV or extend the display as a double screen control.
  3. pick up your TV remote and switch to "External inputs" in the menu. You need to change the value by default "Video 1" to a different selection which may be "HDMI 1" or "video 2" depending on how you made the connection. "
  Important: Make sure you connect the cable to the TV before turning on the computer, because sometimes it may not recognize the external display.
  You may also change the resolution of your TV screen using the display settings in your panel of control remains the image may appear distorted.

• No sound from computer to tv via HDMI cable

  I have a hp probook 4710 s, I have recently cleaned my computer wiping windows vista and download of windows 7 for my computer.  Before I did my hdmi cable that I used for the tv worked, and now that I have reset everything on my computer I can not get my TV to recognize sound through the hdmi cord, even if the image is their.  What should I do?  My laptop has his and my tv has sound when it is not connected to my computer but the second he plug the tv noise disappears and all the sound out of my computer speakers.  I changed all the settings in the sounds and audio devices, and nothing has worked.  any suggestions

  Hello:

  In the section of sound from the Control Panel, when you click on manage Audio devices, you see two choices?

  You should.  You should see your integrated audio system (Soundmax) and your HDMI (which should be your AMD HD Audio device).

  You must have this current option in order to have your HDMI audio to work.

  If it is not present, I recommend you to only visit the Web of AMD site to download and install the latest drivers and the catalyst control center. This package should include the HDMI audio.

  Use the drop down menu to choose the drivers you need:

• Can't play YouTube videos via HDMI cable

  After you perform a search on this subject throughout this forum, I discovered most people go on wild tangents that are unrelated to the topic at hand. They can be fun; they can also be deep; but they are not answering my question. :-(

  Yesterday, I received my microHDMI to HDMI cable and was eager to try to play a YouTube via my TV. Make the right connection with the TV turned on and booted up the Xoom to the YouTube app. Nothing appeared on my TV screen.

  The cable is defective? I missed something in the translation? Later that night, I connected the Xoom to the TV again, this time only to the homescreen of the Xoom. The home screen is appeared on television! Joy! Then I tried YouTube through the browser instead of the YouTube app. Video opening appears on TV and the noise continued to play. BUT the image are remained frozen on the first frame of the video! :-(

  What should I try next? I'm very happy with everything I've tried so far on the Xoom, but it would be very useful to be able to play videos YouTube on the TV. More specifically, when I'm in the kitchen, cooking or baking, I was able to follow good food that are available there as well as some of the videos. If I succeed, I could even be encouraged to buy a Motorola Bluetooth keyboard to control the Xoom to TV in the kitchen.

  Thanks to all those who provide knowledgeable advice-

  I just tried again to play YouTube in my Xoom via the HDMI cable using the YouTube app.

  It worked perfectly! I also tried a video on CNNNews and that worked too.

  Am unable to explain my failure yesterday, except - think - you polishing off a few gallons of Kentucky Bourbon could have an effect? ;-) ;-) ;-)

• Portable plasma via HDMI cable... Don't make any noise of tv.

  I read on many forums all weekend, this one being one of these forums, trying to figure out why I am unable to get sound from my TV when I connect my laptop up using an HDMI cable. I still have to find a solution to this problem so I created an account in the hope that someone can help me eventually. I've never tried this before so I am new to it... and my reason to do is I want to be able to take movies from my laptop and watch them on TV, so I don't have to burn it to DVD.

  I'm not very sure what information may be needed to help me with this so, if you ask please and I'll be more than happy to inform you all that I can.

  What I've done so far...

  HDMI output port on my laptop plugged directly into the HDMI 1 port on the back of my TV. I can get the picture on the tv very well... I went into panel/sounds...and control when the pc and the tv are connected I get a result of NVIDIA HDMI which shows works... the little icon thing left fluctuates up and down... But no sound coming from the tv. The default icon that displays in this area is not clickable for me and I don't know why. So I don't know what I have to do.

  If anyone can help me through this, it would be great. I'll help you in any way I can and give all information is necessary if necessary by.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Download the following graphic driver and Chipset drive and keep them both on your desktop.

  Driver Chipset

  NVIDIA driver

  Then, in Device Manager, open graphics cards, do a right-click on the graphics chip from Nvidia, and select Properties.  Click the driver tab, and then select uninstall.  Once completed, do the same for the for the Nvidia High Definition Audio Codec and high definition Audio Device under his video and game controllers.

  Return to the desktop and install the driver from the Chipset, then the graphics driver.  When you are done, reboot the laptop.  Check in the device manager that the Nvidia Graphics driver and Nvidia Hi definition Audio codec have reinstalled successfully and if you now see the Nvidia HDMI output option under playback devices.  Do not try to define as a device by default again, just connect to the TV and see if it works.

  Kind regards
