Hello,
I have found an MHL to HDMI adapter and I was able to connect the Xperia T to my TV (Strange enough my Bravia TV from 2009 does not support HDCP so I connected to an old LG with 720p - Why this connection needs HDCP? Only Sony knows). The issue that I have with this LG TV is that sound is still played by the phone speaker. Can I set the sound to go via HDMI in the TV?
Thanks,
Mugur

Sound over HDMI works for me. I have the official Sony TV dock.

Well i have had my ps3 for about a month and i bought component cables for it because the hdmi wasnt working. But i have decided i want to use hdmi.
When i plug my high quality gold hdmi lead into the tv and ps3 i turn it on and no picture no sound. I read on the internet, hold the power button in and it will auto set the video, still no sound or picture. I plug the component back in and it works, i go to display settings and switch to hdmi, i switch channel on tv to hdmi it says no signal.
Hmmm...
The tvs im using:
Sony Bravia KDL-32EX403 1080p
Tesco Technika 22" 1080I
The ps3 is a phat 40gb f/w 3.50
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Make sure you are switched to the right HDMI port, I know my TV has a few of them
Then try a different cable.

my technika only has one and the sony tells you which one something is plugged into.
still no luck so i will ask some one for a hdmi lead to borrow.
Just bought the dock thing and tried to put it to work with the HDMI out on a philips HD tv, and it happens that there is no audio at all. I know the analog speakers are disabled when the HDMI is working, the audio provided by the HDMI is really not working.
I have no clue of what is happenning. I am getting just the image fom the tab but no audio at all.
I hope someone knows what is going on and help me.
I'd really appreciate the help.
tks.
Hi. The problem seems to be application dependent. When I use RockPlayer and VitalPlayer digotal audio is there through a docking station. Other players including stock one output just analog audio. Regards. K

Tks mate but when I used the rock player I am still getting no sound at all. Its not just the rock player but even the native one or any music player. The sound isn't passing through the hdmi cable.

I will conect the tab to the TV set in few minutes to double check my findings once more. Btw I use the latest firmware MCD. Regards K

Actually, I can now confirm that I have digital audio output from the docking station with any of the mwdia players including the stock one. When initially started, all the players mute the audio when the tab is in the station. Pls volume up through hardware keys and you will have the audio output. Regards K

The volume is up when plugin to the dock and yet I get no sound changed the volume up and down but no answer. Have two Philips televisions and different models here and on both I get the same issue, no digital sound. The analog sound is fine when plugin the av cables. Now I wonder if the hdmi cable isn't working or is the tv that doesn't like the dock.

Can you post the details of the cable including it's version number. It may be you have an incorrect cable.
About the cable: e324540 awm style 20276 80°c 30v vw-1 hdmi 1.3 cable hentek.

I bought the dock to connect the tab to my projector and I found out that when the hdmi is in use all the audio will go to the hdmi cable.
Now my projector has very poor speakers and no audio out. I really hate that I can't use my Bluetooth speakers when using the dock.
There is some way to split the hdmi signal in video and analog audio?

Still have video and no sound
So, I still have the problem. I have the dock connected to power from the supplied (5v 2a) adapter. I then connect it to my tv. Video works great. I also speculated that maybe I had to use the 3.5mm jack for sound but that isn't working either.
I also have an adapter for rca-out and that's working fine, but I'd rather have the better quality available to me via HDMI.
I've got no solution yet. As I did, put here your the specs of your cable, maybe its something about that cable tho.

hdmi cable info
So, it's still not working for me. I don't have the box the other cable came in so today I went out and got a new one. I now have one of these:
http://www.digitalwarehouse.nl/hdmi-kabel-type-a-type-c-mini-2m.html
It is a type-A <-> type-C high speed HDMI Cable. I told the guy when I bought it that it had to be v 1.3 and he said it was though I don't see that on the box any where. I know for sure that my original cable was a v 1.3 because I remember reading that on the box when I bought it.... The only other info I see on the packaging is this:
Transfer rate: 10,2 Gbit/s
BandWidth 340 MHz
ARC audio return channel
My problem persists and to eliminate other potential causes, I've now tried it on another TV as well: no dice
It could very well be the cable. I have had some HDMI cables not output sound from DVD players. Here is the cable I bought and it outputs everything, sound, video the works.

Having my tab on my TV rocks
right cable
Well, I live in sweden. Ordering from Amazon is not ideal for me. Is there any other way I can get an indication that it might be the cable? I am loathe to keep buying cables assuming that it's the issue... I mean, is there something on the cable itself that I can look for? Certains pins or something?
/geir
I dont know that much about HDMI cables, does kinda seem pointless to keep buying cables.
Possibly google it? I would say try it on something else, however nothing else you own probably need A to C hdmi connection.
All I know is thats the cable I bought and it works perfect for me on my 4 year old projection LCD
Tested the cable with something else...
Ok, so my daughter has a camcorder which will take a mini hdmi cable. I just tested both cables with her camcorder and both of them give me video and sound...
If the cable is the issue it's definitely not because it isn't at all capable of handling audio
Any chance anyone has any other ideas? I just have this feeling there is something else going on... Like maybe I need to flash to a new version or something.
I have a european tab, in case that matters.
Hi to all
Has anyone tried the above?
Connecting the dock's HDMI to TV watch the picture in tv and try at this moment if speakers line out 3,5 jack had audio output signal? or it has no output and the sound is only going through the HDMI cable?
If anyone please has the dock, check this and give me the results.
Thanks in advance
The best conection for playing back Galaxy TAB video, picture and music files was,
GT with it USB cable on Mass Storage connection + TV with USB port & media play function.
The benefits from this conection was,
1. Single cable connection.
2. Only need connect GT to TV USB port, so less works & movements retriction between TV, couch/bed, power socket.
3. TV not only playback GT files but also provide power charging to GT. fter playback 1 hour of Full HD video, my GT battery power now up to 71% from initial around 50%+ (can't remeber the exact number).
4. Able to move around GT directory & playback files using one TV remote control. That's saving troubles of using 2 devices, GT screen + TV remote.
The thing is not a TV with USB, I have not a USB TV, I had used the dock in my Toshiba connected with HDMI cable and I have perfect video but NO SOUND at all, I had not found a solution yet, I had tried with several HDMI cables, still no sound.
I cannot find any settings for the HDMI, in the Tab.
Has anyone has any solution?
I had read that a lot of Galaxy Tab owners had HDMI sound problems.
The bad thing is when the TAB sees the HDMI connection mutes the sound in the tab and drives it through the HDMI cable.
The 3.5 Jack audio out in the back of the dock has no sound, when HDMI is connected
Any solution??

that's a really good question and makes a lot of sense. for the 2nd poster, I think almost all of us do not have usb inputs on our tvs. lucky you though
if the hdmi out sends pic + audio but the audio out is still available in the 1/8" adapter or another method then it would be really good.
would be amazing if the tab had digital audio out through a standards compliant consumer digital audio cable (rca or fibre) though
oh well, I'm dreaming right now.
ok so on my last Sony phone it had a micro hdmi on the side for this
The bravia tv i have is a couple of years old and not one of the new ones with nfc on board, so far all ive been able to find on the net about connecting is to use nfc (only on the new bravias)
so any ideas?
Well if your TV has Wi-Fi then you can use the Screen Mirroring, which can be found under SETTINGS, XPERIA then Screen Mirroring. And if you don't have Wi-Fi enabled TV then you may need to buy a MHL adaptor to connect with a HDMI cable like you did with previous phones.

My bravia hx855 has Wi-Fi but mirroring AFAIK is supported only via miracast, without that you can only use "throw" function....

my bravia is a few years old and dose not have wifi allthough i think you can buy a dongle/adapter for it..would need to look into that, would prefer an option to be able to sit in the chair and send the content to the tv rather than using a cable.
What about wireless streamers like roku etc, anyway to use that?

I have a similar old TV, but it's connected to my PS3 - I throw to the PS3, it displays on the TV.
You can also use an MHL cable to HDMI wire.
Hi, We all know that Xperia SP has screen mirroring feature and we can connect using MHL. It works fine on SONY Bravia TVs. My home has a full HD ONIDA LCD TV. It has 2 HDMI ports. If I connect, my phone to this TV using MHL to HDMI adapter, can I see phone screen on the TV? Give some more points about screen mirroring and MHL features of SONY phones with TVs other than SONY.

I have used MHL "TV Out" with MHL to HDMI adapter with Sharp and Samsung TV.
MHL it's not Screen Mirroring. Its two others features. First use MHL Adapter to send signal to TV. Second one. Use NO CABLE (wifi?) connection to display screen on other SONY devices (which support it).
No progblem with MHL at all, but....
First - My MHL adapter needs a little more power than standard SPs charger. With standard charger from SP my phone disconnects sometimes. Recconections after about 10 sec. With another charger (1A/5,1V) works perfect. Airplane mode on and I can play GTA:SA for hours
Second - phone charge veeeeery slow when connected to TV. About 5%/h :S
