Mine doesn't, and has no way to output audio (or input audio) Yes, really! The projector is a 730HD 720p and it has an internal speaker but no microphone. >> 2.

The HDMI display just shows up as the display in the Mac's System Preferences->Displays pane. 2. The Mac display is still active and its Facetime window has no Accept button either. 3. Once the call is accepted (with the HDMI device disconnected) and the HDMI device is reconnected, the Facetime call proceeds normally with both audio and video. I maintain that it is a bug in Facetime or one of the associated APIs since the app is running on the Mac and all the Mac's peripherals are functional; in particular, the Input Device is set to Internal microphone. The Late 2013 13" MacBook Pro has two internal microphones but no provision for external audio in.
