Select your TV from the drop-down list next to HDMI, below where it says "Select a device for sound output". Middle of the window select your TV where it says "Play sound effects through:". Be sure you are on the Sound Effects tab. There are 3 tabs in the window Sound Effects, Output and Input. leave all other settings at their default values. Select the desired resolution for your TV (probably 1080i). You should now only see 2 tabs, Display and Color. Bottom left of the window tick "Mirror Displays". Bottom left of the window tick "Show displays in menu bar" and then bottom right click "Detect Displays". There are 3 tabs in the window Displays, Arrangement and Color. The booklet instructions basically say do the following,

In this instance Apple are failing to live up to their catch-phrase as final setup is NOT intuitive "it just DOESN'T work". Most people don't read this as it's normally the case that when you plug a cable in to anything it just works (VCR, TiVo, Xbox, video camera etc). If you purchased an iWires cable direct from Apple the instructions are in the printed booklet that comes in the packaging. It could be a mix of it being an older game and just the tv itself.Re: No sound over Mini DisplayPort to HDMI AdapterĭisplayPort to HDMI Sound is actually set up by using the MIDI setup utility found in :Īpplications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup. only thing i can say is make sure the hdmi tv is set to default while the game is running.

Originally posted by Teutep:Can you list where it failed?įFVII is working fine for me threw hdmi, im running windows 10 so os isnt and issue. Worst case scenario is I use my laptop speakers when playing the game, or hook up some speakers to it : | I think it may be a problem with the game itself, since it's so old, and other people have had audio problems with it (although they were slightly different problems and it seems they were able to get them fixed) : sound works perfectly fine outside the game in Windows & also in every other game I've tried. : I do see the hdmi device under Playback Devices, it's called 1 - STD HDMI TV, and it's always my default device. Went through all his steps (wasn't the first time I've tried it either but I tried again just to be sure) and still no audio in FFVII. Can you list where it failed?ĭo you see the HDMI -device under Audio Output devices at all?ĭoes the sound go through that outside the game? doing it to get FFVII to play out of my hdmi-connected TV by the way. Originally posted by Lucid:MatteCrystal: neither of those worked for me. Hope this helps any others who have these issuesĪlso i have a ninvida card idk if that matters but worth mentioning. This work for me when i was playing skyrim but it wouldn't work for guitar hero.

(if your on windows 7 then i guess just chose something else) if that doesn't work go to this worked on a previous version of windows and click windows 7.

You could also try left clicking on the game launcher itself and hit troubleshoot compatibility. exit and then set sound to your tv and run again. basicly each time you have to first run the game with something else set to default device. This is some weird bug but it works for me when i play guitar hero 3. You' have to do this each time so for example if you get it to work and then exit the game and simply start it again it wont work. The once again exit through game settingsĦ)go to playback and set default device back to your tvħ)start game it should work for sure this time. the sound should at this point still not be coming from your TV. FIX: it seems Mr TehNoms was having a different issue i guess? But for anyone else with an issue something similar to this were sound wont come through HDMI on only some games do the following.ġ)left click sound icon on task bar and click playback devices.Ģ)you should see your tv name thru HDMI ordinarily what you want to do is left click an hit set as default device.ģ) Start game and see if it works if it doesn't exit the game (Important exit through game options don't alt click out and close window)Ĥ)go to playback devices and set another device to default device.(Not the TV)ĥ) Start and load up the game.
