New MacBook Pros Support Audio Out Over Mini DisplayPort

The new MacBook Pros released today support audio out over Mini DisplayPort allowing for easy output to HDMI, according to an ArsTechnica report.

Apple confirmed to Ars that the just-updated MacBook Pros will pass both video and audio signals to an HDTV or receiver when using an miniDP to HDMI adapter. Apple sells one such adapter from Griffin online, though alternative from suppliers such as Monoprice are also available. Apple doesn't have any plans at this time to make its own adapter, contrary to earlier speculation.

Great news!
