Passes Video & Audio Signals Cleanly to Displays – if your settings are correct! See my instructions below.,
Many reviewers ignorantly rate this lower because they blame their hardware or software for being unable to pass audio along with video. After using it with my Macbook Pro (2010), it works without flaws for both audio & video, if your Mac OS settings are correct.
For instructions on how to pass audio & video on Mac OS X, see the bottom of my review.
Pros:
+ Passes Video cleanly
+ Passes Audio in sync
+ Small, clean design
+ Inexpensive
Cons:
- Does not have Gold-plated contact for female HDMI connector (or display port connector)
Hardware tested it with:
+ April 2010 Macbook Pro (i7 – but that is insignificant)
+ Pioneer Kuro 6020 + Standard HDMI Cable
+ Belkin HDMI Cable

How to Pass Audio & Video via Mac OS 10.6
Note: Only recently released macs have the hardware capable of passing audio out via display port. These are (as of 08-2010): iMac (Late 2009), MacBook Pro (Mid 2010), and MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2010).
Step 1: Connect the adapter to mac, HDMI cable to adapter and HDMI cable to TV.
Step 2: Select appropriate input on TV.
Step 3: The mac should auto-sense the display connection and extend the desktop to it. If this does not occur, you must go to System Preferences – Displays and click “Detect Displays.”
Step 4: You should have video at this point, but not audio, outputting. Why? Because you have to tell your mac to stop using its speakers and output audio elsewhere instead. This is a software feature and has nothing to do with the adapter. It is not plug & play and this is why some people have failed in getting audio, because they did not change their settings.
—> Go to System Preferences – Sound. Click on the ‘Output’ table. By default, the internal speakers are selected. Below that, you should see your television as an option. Click your output device. Once you do this, audio should play along with the video.
Step 5: Put something good on to watch for a change (if it’s reality tv, ignore the above instructions). Enjoy!

|Works perfectly,
I used this with my late 2008 13 inch MacBook and it works perfectly.
I hooked it up to a 46 inch samsung tv.
oh also, not really the adapter’s fault, thats why i’m still rating it a 5/5, but it doesnt carry audio over the hdmi cord, so i had to hook up a separate cable through the headphone jack into the tv.

|Not shielded well – but you get what you pay for…,
I am using this on a Mac Mini. Does the job for video, but I had to put a book over the wire as after a few hours of pain debugging my wireless signal, I found that the cable disrupts my WiFi to the Mini. It seems the other reviews are with Macbooks. The Macbook WiFi antennas must not be as close to the adapter location.

|Not compatible with Windows 8,
Sound Forge is my preferred audio editor. That’s why I bought it. I’ve logged thousands of hours on audio editors. If you’re using Windows 7 or earlier, I recommend it completely.
As of the time of this writing (June 12, 2013), Sound Forge is not compatible with Windows 8. The program will run normally for some time (for me, four months), then it will lose its registration status. The program requests a user registration and escalation, then does nothing. If run as administrator, Sound Forge will open, but the ability to open files by drag and drop is disabled. It’s a nuisance. Useful tech support is pay only. The software is unusable.
