HDMI Sound output stops when lid is closed #136

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

If connected to a TV through HDMI adapter and the lid is closed the sound 
output stops.  This can be easily reproduced. The use case is if I would like 
to watch a video played on laptop with output to TV through HDMI (example 
HBOGo).

Hi, could you try to connect HDMI and close display so the sound stops playing. 
Then hold option key on the keyboard and click volume icon on the top menu bar, 
you will see a couple of option how to output sound. An HDMI option should 
present, click it and check if sound starts playing via TV.
It would be great if you will answer here is that helped you or not. Thanks,
--Pavel

Hi Pavel,

So to be clear on your requested steps:

1) Play through HDMI
2) Close the lid
3) Reopen the lid
4) Press option+sound
5) Select HDMI

Is that correct?

If so, when I do that the sound does start playing again but when I
re-close the lid it stops again.  Actually, the video and sound momentarily
stops then only the video starts again.

Thanks!

No, it needs to switch sound output with closed lid by using external mouse or 
keyboard.

Oh, the the option key... The output also can be selected in Apple-System 
Preferences-Sound-Output

Ah, OK.  I'll have to find an external mouse first ;-)
