Thank you so much. Now its working
Thank you for this!!!
thanks. The new Sound Blaster X5 might just be a good alternative with usbc connection and with optical out.
Awesome & Thanks :)
Hey. Great video. I’m in the same situation trying to get sound out my Mac Studio.
Do you have any lip sync issues when using the hdmi out for sound and a monitor from thunderbolt?
Does the hdmi output 5.1?
This is most helpful! For some reason, my bluetooth connection from my M1 MacMini to the soundbar stopped working, could be my soundbar bluetooth? But a HDMI cable did the trick! Thank you!
Does the HDMI 2.0 port on any of the M1 Macs output multi-channel audio(surround sound 5.1 or 7.1) to a A.V receiver? From what I've read they only outputs 2 channel.
This is perfect! I have a Sony sounder that only has HDMI ARC, Bluetooth and Optical, Bluetooth and optical only send stereo sound as far as I can see on my setup, ok for music and games and movies streamed over a web browser but the Apple TV app with movies bought from Apple would send discreet sound, dialogue would be lost in the soundtrack and effects, this has finally allowed my sound bar to move dialogue to the centre and balance all the audio out!
I Believe optical can send 5.1
Thank you for the great information. You said that a hdmi port is needed, not arc port. I was going to connect my Marshall woburn 3 to mac studio and woburn 3 has only hdmi arc. so does it mean I can't connect each other? I was just about to make an order for hdmi cable.. Thankful for finding out this video before making order.
I'd love to know how you got that to work. I have a new Vizio sound bar with HDMI Arc and my Mac Studio doesn't detect it in HDMI or USB.
I have a question is there any lag pausing UA-cam vids and playing them after paused? I'm using a home pod mini and tho sound is good the lag when pausing and play vid till sound comes out and catches up to vid after hitting space bar is doing my nut in, thinking of going down the sound bar option, my hdmi is spare
hello sir i'm planing to buy imac 24 m1, i have creative 5.1 sound system, how do i get 5.1 surround sound for movies watching
can you hook a bluetooth soundbar to the mac studio via bluetooth?
How do you get 5.1 out using HDMI to soundbar?
Is it possible to hook up the hdmi to a tv and use the ARC out to feed the soundbard to get both picture and sound?
Or is it possble to hook and HDMI to a soundbar that supports 4k passthrough out and connect that to TV for picture and sounds?
Both are possible. However, ARC doesn't have enough bandwidth to support 5.1 uncompressed and you need a TV that supports eARC for that. And by using passthrough you'll lose FreeSync.
Can you stream lossless audio or Dolby Atmos?
Same question.
Ye its a real ball ache! Looks like a lot of the tv soundbars don't recognise the optical digital output from a Mac. I have a Sonos Playbar that wont communicate with my iMac, and the only input on the Playbar is optical digital
I sussed it! You have to turn on TV Autoplay in the Sonos App Settings-Home Theatre-TV Autoplay
I got mac mini m2 and bose soundbar 600. I connected my soundbar to mac mini m2 with hdmi. it doesnt work. I used airplay to connect both instead.
You need to use a HDMI ARC port
Can this setup output in 5.1 or stereo?
pretty sure it can as hdmi supports even 7.1
For Mac mini M2, can I use thunderbolt out of Mac mini to HDMI on the sound bar?
I did try Mac mini M2 Pro with Sonos Beam Gen. 2 but failed.😢
@@min20100925 OK thank you
@@bradleydavidgood9316 I did it successfully with HDFury arcana. But with PCM 2.0 only. My set up is that: HDMI - HDMI to Monitor. Thunderbolt - HDMI to HDFury(HDMI in), HDMI(ears) to Sonos Beam Gen. 2. Please be aware that, since there are 2 video out put from Mac mini, so that, the Displays setting of Mac mini needs to be mirror instead of extend. Besides, after the Mac mini is switched on, you need to replug the HDMI - HDMI to monitor to get the graphic output from this channel instead of the Thunderbolt - HDMI to HDFury channel.
@@min20100925 Thank you for the update, good job. I went with a polk sound bar and sub that uses 3.5mm out of the headphones jack of my M2. I like it because I can adjust the sound level from the keyboard and it sounds great. Hopefully apple and sound bar manufacturers will make it easier in the future.
Yeah buddy...he got that Kangol on...it's gonna be good
Yes indeed, thank you 😀👍👉
I’ve connected via HDMI, optical and Bluetooth to my Sony soundbar from both my 2023 Mac studio and my 2022 MacBook Pro, with films via Apple TV app I often have quiet voices, it’s like the sound bar is thing treated as a surround sound device with the centre speaker turned down… any ideas?
If you only have HDMI ARC in your soundbar, just use a HDMI to HDMI decoder so that you can connect your Mac to any hometheatre system which has ARC
Can you recommend a decoder? I'm not familiar with them.
@@Dasypus7 HDFury Arcana is one option which I used successfully on my Mac mini M2 pro with Sonos Beam Gen. 2.
What the hell is a “Hackintosh”?
hackintosh is basically a windows pc but runs on mac os
