Macbook to TV HDMI + Audio?

[Deano.uk]

Hi there.

I have a unibody macbook and a new samsung 6 series 32" tv.

I currently have Mini DP to HDMI that works fine with video, but whats the best way to output audio?

i got a bit confused when i searched so thought id post instead.

the cable i got says it supports uncompressed audio like LPCM

and compressed audio like DTS digital and dolby digital...

Something like this..

i think that is a cover on the back of the TV (i think it is a TV, kinda blurry..)
Toslink or a regular male to make audio 3.5mm would work. You may only have optical out, not in. My TV has optical out, not in. Only found that out AFTER i ordered the toslink. Monoprice has them for cheap as well. maybe like $4 or something..

look into that port on the TV. Is there a red light or do you see another slot that says digital audio in or optical audio in.

What is the exact model of the TV. That way we can look up exactly what connections it has.

If it has optical, you can get one of these... http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10229&cs_id=1022902&p_id=1557&seq=1&format=2

thats the one.

Theres a red light for digital audio out, but no red light in the one i took a picture of. a 3.5 fits in there perfect though.

it just says 'PC/ DVI (orDV1, cant read it from the pic) audio in'

It seems to be the audio in for the PC connector (blue one to the left of audio in) and the first HDMI input which is marked DVI/DV1 might just try a 3.5 male to 3.5 male see where i get.

Sorted! kinda...

Its a male 3.5 - male 3.5...

found two old pairs of headphones, cut them up, scotch-tapped the wires together, and got a sound from the tele

just bought a cable off amazon for less then £2 that'll do the job... as my homebrew cable is a bit crackly!
