Question

Automatic audio output switch

Dec 16, 2014 5:57AM PST

hi

i have a imac 27, late 2013, OS X Yosemite,I have my TV hooked up to my imac via Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter. What I'm looking for is the ability to change the audio output automatically based on which monitor is showing the source program. For example, if I'm watching a movie, or using skype and I drag the program to the TV, I'd like the audio for those programs to come out of the TV speakers automatically. (I know I can change the output source manually), If there is a way to do through the system or software of any kind? I will be happy for anything how do it automatically

Thanks in advance
Eran
