While now I could get sound - it was not the same as before where I could control the sound through the mac - only directly through the TV. I still could not adjust the volume bar (it went greyed out) - but I could crank up the tv volume directly and get sound. Went to System Preferences > Sound and selected: 'Panasonic TV' as the output device. We hooked it up to an HDTV via HDMI and booted up. I asked to have it hooked up to one on display - so I could see for myself. She then recommended that I go into the Apple store and have the mini checked out.Īt the apple store, the apple tech took the machine to the back, out of sight, and returned about 20 mins later to say that it was working fine. I've spoken with an Apple tech over the phone and went through a number of reboot (while holding down certain keys, etc.) to no avail. I've also updated my macmini whenever an update is released (within a few days). (In not sure if I had this before or not - dont completely remember seeing it, but vaguely do.) I notice that when I switch input on my TV aerial to the MacMini (HDMI 1) I get a little yellow triangle with exclamation mark in it, and the text: 'AUDIO only' at the bottom right of the tv screen. The speaker icon in the top right of the screen is also greyed-out and not changeable. When I switch from internal speakers to HDMI, I notice that the sound volume bar at the bottom of the screen goes faint, and I can't adjust the volume using the sound keys on my keyboard (bluetooth) When I say it is not an option, I have two lines under name and types as follows: However, about 3 days ago, sound output via TV was no longer an option

power, and reconnected as I had to re-setup my tv (all reconnected in the same outlets via HDMI) Then about a month ago I was back in the Sound preferences and found that I was able to get audio output via the TV speakers.Ībout a week or so ago I disconnected all incl.

Sound output via TV speakers was not working when I first connected the two (about 4 mos ago)Ĭouldn't figure it out- and just used an headphone cable to connect the mac mini to a stereo I have a Mac Mini 2010 connected to a Sony Bravia HD TV via an HDMI cable Krusdublin: I am experiencing similar issues with no real solution yet:
