No HDMI output when client connects Mac to Logitech Rally Bar Mini Room system This system utilizes a Digitalinx HDMI-over-CAT cable TX/RX pair to send HDMI to the Rally Mini. With PCs the signal passes through just fine, but one of the client's employees uses a Mac and it will not output. This seems like an HDCP conflict. I am not a Mac person, just an AV tech trying to solve a problem. Is there a setting we can suggest in the Mac, or a configuration in the system we can adjust to allow the video to pass through? TIA PS I have no idea what kind of Mac this is. I had to pick one to post the question.

Rode NT-USB Mic & Harman/Kardon Sound Sticks not listed as input & output choices in OS Ventura 13.6 As part of a substantial hardware repair my MacBook Pro was returned by Apple with OS 13.6 installed. One of the nasty surprises today was that suddenly my external USB mic and external USB speakers no longer appear on the relevant device lists in the updated Sound preferences tab. What the heck? I know that the Sound Sticks are old school, but both devices are durable, very high quality outboard tech that work great. How on earth does it make sense to code perfectly functional audio devices like these out of use in a new Mac OS? The OS supports airplay on our living room TV and displays a basic 17" HP secondary display as audio outputs, but not these superior, simple USB-connected devices. Can this be correct and intentional? Why? (And by the way the device tag below is incorrect, this is a 2019 16" MacBook pro.)

This was very helpful, Grant; i've used my mac hdmi to output but never to receive.

Can I use an hdmi / usb or hdmi / thunderbolt adapter ( if either exists) to take the video signal to my mac screen - Or would you have another suggestion. Thanks, in advance, for any help you can give. Regards Allan
