So here's an interesting problem I encountered tonight that I hoped one of you would have insight on.
I have a Mac Pro 3.1 running OS X 10.8.5 and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 video card. I have two hard drives, one dedicated mac drive and bootcamp with Windows 7 running on the other.
On the windows drive I can play a video file through a DVI to HDMI (HDMI side being plugged into my tv) cable and as soon as the tv is turned on it's added as a second monitor and plays audio from the video file just fine on the tv.
If I'm running the mac drive I get audio out of the connected speaker system only. Holding option and clicking the audio icon on the top right gives no option to flip over to HMDI/the TV as an audio out.
So my question is this, if the hardware is clearly capable of playing audio on the windows drive why can it not on the mac drive and is there is a work around?
thanks in advance
