Apple’s newly released MacBook Pro models now support audio output via their mini DisplayPort, and Dr. Bott’s mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters fully support this new feature. With these adapters, a single HDMI cable can transmit both audio and video to your LCD-TV or LCD-display.

Older Macs with a non-audio mini DisplayPort can achieve the same result by using the Dr. Bott Audio and mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Pro. This adapter combines digital audio and digital video to a single, unaltered HDMI signal to pass to the display via HDMI cable.
