MacBook to TV DVI sound issue

RyanRedd

When plugging in my MacBook Pro to my Sony HD TV with a DVI cable male to male cable, I am getting picture but no audio.

In my sound preferences an alternate output option other than the internal speakers is not available.

Please help and good gaming.

The newest MacBook Pros carry sound from Mini-DVI to HDMI.

The newer MacBooks have Mini DisplayPort, not Mini-DVI. You are both correct if you meant the DisplayPort.

And some of the older MacBooks with DisplayPorts do not actually send the audio either.
