Chito,
Since your Macbook Air is brand new you’ll need the Kanex iAdapt 2, which we reviewed here: http://www.macyourself.com/2010/10/03/review-kanex-iadapt-hdmi-v2-mini-displayport-adapter/

You can purchase it here: http://www.kanexlive.com/v2

Nice, but now I’m confused…

I have an MBA 11-inch with the new Thunderbolt port. Will I still need to plug in the USB and the audio plug into my MBA? Or will the MiniDisplayPort plug suffice?

So, is there an update/more current review regarding the Kanex 5.1 adapter? I like the idea of it, but haven’t seen many up to date posts about it.

Tracy, your television may not accept HDMI with sound, not all of them do.

I’ve purchased the Kanex 5.1 adapter and I can honestly say it is not plug and play. The video plays fine but there is no audio. I have a 2009 MacBook Pro and a 2009 Samsung 720p plasma. And I’ve followed all the troubleshooting tips, including replacing the adapter – twice. I’m done. I cannot get the audio to work. Time to look for some other manufacturer.

Bon,
The cables coming from the adapter itself are about 2 feet long. But the HDMI cable you use on the other end (purchased separately) can be any length.

Can anyone tell me what length this new Kanex cable comes in?
Thx
