Hi, I'm trying to get iTunes to send the audio to the TV via HDMI but it's not working. &nbsp;I can see the iTunes display on the TV but the sound comes out of the computer speakers. &nbsp;Is this the way it's supposed to work? &nbsp;In other words, do I need to send the audio signal directly to the receiver? &nbsp;Since HDMI carries audio/video, I thought one cable would do it. <br />
Thanks

iTunes audio to TV via HDMI

Digital audio is technology that can be used to record, store, generate, manipulate, and reproduce sound using audio signals encoded in digital form. Following significant advances in technology, digital rapidly replaced analog audio technology in most areas. Digital audio systems may include compression, storage, processing and transmission components. It is important to distinguish between the audio coding format, the codec performing the encoding and decoding of the raw audio data, and the container file. Common file formats include .wav, .aiff, .au, .m4a, .mp3, .wma, .ra and .raw.
