I NEED the collective wisdom of mumsnet with this bastard tv/firestick please.

[pastypirate]

I have a tv that's dvi in only. I've got a gold connector thing to convert hdmi to dvi but it doesn't connect the sound. Can I buy an adapter that isn't £20????

I'm just not technical enough to know what to ask for?

Please xxx

Bumping. I have no clue but you must be so frustrated.
Is there an electrical shop (maplins, curry’s) or something nearby? They generally have techie people who could advise. You could then write down what you need and Google a cheaper version maybe? Good luck.

Hi thanks for reply. There isn't anything like that close by but I think there is maplins back home. I'm at my caravan. Dp thinks I should buy new tv but it's fixed to the wall!

Is the picture working? As if so I don't understand why the sound wouldnt be- is it turned up on both the tv and the thing you are casting from?

Sorry no help,

Maplin stores are gone. Can you put up a picture of what you have for connecting to the TV?

DVI only supports video, so no sound possible. I think firestick has Bluetooth, so a workaround could be setting it up to play sound via Bluetooth on a headphone or speakers if you have any of those.

Yes this is the problem
