HDMI won't run through XLR
I need an HDMI to XLR cable (male) to run through my female xlr matching 1/4'' transformer so i can finally send my audio through a MIDI interface. I got this sick VST last night. I've been looking everywhere and can't find it. I will buy someone a cola if they can help me with this issue.

Re: HDMI won't run through XLR
my sincerest condolences, but your VST passed away at 3:03am, GMT.
Re: HDMI won't run through XLR
I don't think such a cable exists.

You may have to search for another adapter to translate CEE to XLR, though.

Re: HDMI won't run through XLR
I concur, I did a quick Google search and found nothing. You may have to deal with adapters if anything exists. Audio through a MIDI interface? Your MIDI should either be just that or an audio/MIDI interface else I am missing something here....kitekrazy wrote:I don't think such a cable exists.

HDMI is a really complex AV standard. a widget like this isn't going to exist.

Re: HDMI won't run through XLR
I'm in the same problem.. really need a cable to connect my commodore64 to a DVD player via rewire

Re: HDMI won't run through XLR
Its not clear to me what the transformer and the MIDI interface are doing, but as the audio in HDMI is digital a lead will not separate it. You need an HDMI extractor such as this:

You could then get a lead to get the analog audio into the XLR input on your transformer
Or the alternative devices linked from that page include ones with digital audio outputs if your interface can accept such

The new Thunderbolt cables from Apple2.0 can do this..
