So what gives? – It turns out OS X is designed to automatically route all sound out of the HDMI port to the device where the video is being played, so the sound was all being handed over to the TV for the TV to handle, forcing me to use my TV remote to adjust the volume. The sound was loud coming from the TV, so I decided to try and adjust it with the volume keys on my keyboard only to find the following prompt come up when attempting to press the volume up and volume down keys: Over the weekend, I decided to sit back and watch some Star Wars movies using the new Samsung smart TV I got for Christmas, but when I connected my Mac to the TV and started to play my movie, the sound was all coming out of the TV instead of my Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 sound system despite the fact that I had the speakers plugged in via the 3.5mm headphone jack on the left side of my MacBook Pro. In this piece, we’ll walk you through how to make sure your audio out is going to the right place. On the other hand, if you wanted to use external speakers or headphones, it can cause issues if your sound settings aren’t configured just right because HDMI itself is also an audio out port in addition to video out. It’s a great way to take in all of your favorite movies on the big screen. There is no better medicine for my soul then Pink Floyd in 5.1, 24/96 in the dedicated room I build myself for music and movies and no better way to achieve it than JRiver.On the right side of all modern MacBook Pro models is an HDMI port used for digital video and sound. Maybe some day I will try a Pi or other small computer that is more current. has a missing fan connection on the logic board and now is missing the Wifi board which I threw away (it is hardwired to the network). That said, I suppose I could subscribe to a streaming service that supports High Res but paying by the minute for music that I already own isn't something I've done yet. I admire and enjoy other people's record collections. I have a great respect for vinyl but it's not for me. It does me no good though when I want to enjoy high res or surround sound music. I subscribe to Apple One which includes Apple Music for my family and recently purchased a HomePod for the dining room which is great. However, I still need a way to play my favorite media in full quality and while that sounds simple enough, in practice it's really not. I try and try and try to simplify my life and my computer systems.
Tldr: Why I still use a JRiver Mac Mini (2010) Music server
