[Shalamov_V]

Hello!
A have Mac mini 2018 and Sony Bravia TV.

HDMI connection! The other ports are not used. Only HDMI to HDMI.

But Audio output settings show DisplayPort.

Is it OK?

Thank you.

That's normal. If you hear audio then it's working.
The HDMI port of the Mac mini 2018 is actually a DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.0b converter (even though the Mac mini only supports DisplayPort 1.2).
