At Hope we needed to get some videos running through Pi 2 Bs to old VGA projectors.
We bought these dongles and they seem to work well with our Raspian Jesse install. VicTsing 1080p Gold-Plated HDMI Male to VGA Female Video Converter
Video worked immediately but no audio through the dongle and onboard audio sounded awful.
To get audio running through the HDMI port I tried a few things and it works.
1. editing config.txt and adding the following line hdmi_drive=2
$ sudo nano /boot/config.txt
All this is described here but didn't quite do it. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/audio-config.md
2. adding this to the HPlayer start script –ahdmi 1
