Airport express: use internet and air tunes at the same time?

Hi,
I'd like to use and airport express to create a wirelss network (and so use the internet) AND stream music to my stereo with air tunes - at the same time. Is this possible? So far, I have been able to create a wireless network (and use the internet) OR use the airport express to play music. But whenever my internet works, itune can't find the base station - claiming it "can't be found on the network?"
Can you do both at once?
I'm connecting to an ethernet jack (I'm at a college). It's not a cable modem or DSL. Is this the problem?
Under "music" in the utility configuration. I've selected "Enable Air tunes at the base station." I can't select "Enable Airtunes over ethernet port." When i try to change the network options to allow me to select this "ethernet port" option, I have to tell it how to "distribute IP" addresses. i don't know how to do this, and everything I've tried destroys my internet connection.
I appreciat any help you have to offer. thanks
1.5 GHz PowerPC G4, 12'' powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

solution:
My problem ended up being specific to the network I'm using. There is evidently another router on the ethernet system that was assigning my airport express an IP address (192. ...), rather than letting the network DCHP give me a direct IP address (something like 160. ...). The 192 address made it impossible for iTunes to see my express base station, but I was getting internet, passed through this other router.
The fix - and I'm not sure if this is totally kosher - was to manually enter a correct IP address for my base station. I got the IP address by seeing what this other router was sending my computer to get onto the internet. It gave me the correct router and a workable (160. ...) IP address. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to manually pick an IP address on the ethernet, but this one is working for the time being, and now iTunes can find my base station.

Can an airport express support wireless and wired connection at the same time

im wondering if i can use wireless and wired connection at the same time

The Ethernet port that the old AirPort Express has got is to connect the AirPort Express to your modem, not to connect another PC or Mac, so you can only connect wireless devices to the AirPort Express.
If you have the new AirPort Express, you can connect a wired PC or Mac and more wireless devices or computers at the same tiem

Airport Express - iTunes streaming and wireless bridge at the same time?

I know the Airport Express (AX) can do iTunes streaming. And I know it can act as a wireless bridge - meaning, a wired device can plug into the AX as if they were plugged directly into the local network.
What I am wondering - before I buy one - is whether the AX can do both at the same time. I have been reading around, and some people say it cannot, but I am getting the feeling that might be an older version perhaps.
Here is my set up -
office:
cable modem > Airport Extreme 802.11n base station
desktop computer
family room:
DVD, TV, TiVo, etc. -- all would like a wired network connection
Stereo -- would like to stream iTunes from desktop computer
So can the AX stream iTunes to the stereo, AND serve up the network to the TiVo, etc. at the same time?
If so, I assume I can plug an Ethernet Switch into the AX and have it simultaneously service >1 device (e.g. TiVo, TV, etc.).
Thanks a lot!

The newer 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can be setup in any of the following three configurations to enable its Ethernet port to provide network connectivity to wired clients:
1) As a remote base station in a WDS with another 802.11b/g/n AirPort.
2) As an extension to another 802.11n AirPort/Time Capsule.
3) As a ProxySTA (Ethernet bridge) with any wireless router.
I have verified that it can support both performing as an Ethernet bridge and stream simultaneously for the first two configurations, but have not had an opportunity to try the last to verify that case as well ... but I believe it should.

HT2508 Airport express for more than one device at the same time.

I just set up my Airport Express on my MacBook, but when I try to use this wireless connection on my iPad, I have to disconnect from my existing connection on my MacBook first. How can I use both devices at the same time without having to disconnect?

Hi,

Win 8 - How to use StereoMix and Headphones Mic at the same time?

I am using Windows 8 64 bit and believe I may have an IDT driver problem.
I need to enable StereoMix and my Headphones Mic at the same time. I know this was previously possible with windows xp and windows 7.
What happens is If I enable either Headphones Mic (Logitech headphones with Mic) or StereoMix the other one becomes " current;ly unavailable" I cannot get them both to work together. I can get StereoMix and the Internal Mic to work together ( both enabled at the same time) but the sound quality is bad because the internal mic picks up noises from the PC. I need to have both my headphones mic and stereo mix enabled at the same time.
The driver I'm using is the one provided by HP with the laptop. It is called sp59620.exe
Would another IDT driver solve the problem? Can you think of another reason this is not working?
Here are my specs.
System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavillion G7-2251dx
OS Windows 8 64 bit
CPU AMD A-8 4500M
Memory 8 Gigabytes DDR3 sdram
Graphics Card Discrete ATI Radeon HD 7640G with 2 Gigs
Sound Card IDT Audio
Monitor(s) Displays 17.3
Screen Resolution 1600x900
If you cannot help, where else should I look? i have tried Windows and Microsoft forums and no one can give me an answer.
Thank you.

I have tried the instructions in that video and I cant get passed the very bad feedback i get when telling my recording device to Listen. His secone instruction from his notes here
["Right Click the Realtech HD audio device and set as default if its not already.
(note you may want to turn off any powered speakers you may have to prevent feedback.)
-Select the Recording Tab at the top of the window.
-Select the Stereo Mix device and set it to default if its not already.
-Right click and select Properties.
-Select the Listen Tab at the top of the window.
-Change the drop-down box to the entry for USB headset and check the Listen to this device checkbox.
-click ok to dismiss the window.
-Right click on the USB headset microphone device and select properties.
-Select the Listen Tab at the top of the window.
-Change the drop-down box to the entry for the Realtech HD Audio device and check the Listen to this device checkbox.
-click ok to dismiss the window.
So, essentially, the game audio will play through the Realtec, your mic is also set to play to the Realtec. both audio streams are now part of Stereo Mix. Stereo Mix is being listened to by your headset allowing you to hear the game and your voice.]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't know about turning off any powered speakers.. the only speakers I have besides the headphones are the internal laptop speakers. I get the same feedback if i have the headphones plugged in or not.

[SOLVED] How to use timidity++ and other programs at the same time?

I have installed timidity following arch wiki instructions - I have soundfont, and I start it in /etc/rc.conf
It works properly with tuxguitar (and tuxguitar-alsa) or kmid, but I cannot play MIDI and - for example - oggs in amarok at the same time.
I suspect that the problem is that timidity doesn't use dmix alsa plugin I have made in my ~/.asoundrc.
The question is: how to tell timidity to use my dmix plugin?

HP Docking (VB041AA) - Using DVI and Display Port at the same time

Hello,
is it supported to use the DV and the Display Port of a HP 90W Docking (VB041AA) at the same time? I use this setup with two LA2405wg and a 6450b for a couple of weeks and I encounter a couple of problems:
- flickering and switching during bootup, same output on both displays, no output
- hibernation resume fails, if notebook was hibernated undocked (hiberfil.sys corrupt)
- sometimes Win7 crashs during startup with corrupt drivers
- spooky display lockups were a display goes into standby and can't be switchec on or off. I have to pull the power cord
Some of them are really strange (corrupt drivers, but after a restart the notebooks starts without problems). During operation I don't have any problems, no BSoDs etc.
Thanks for advice.

Your notebook is an Enterprise/Business model. I would recommend posting this in the HP Enterprise Support Forums for better coverage, as this is the consumer support forums.
You can access the enterprise support forums at the following link.

USING TOMTOM AND IPOD FUNCTION AT THE SAME TIME

Hi
I plan to het tomtom application bur before I'd like to know if
I will be able to use my iphone connected to my car player alpine for music fucntions at the same time as tomtom application
thanks a lo for your opinion on that

On my iPhone, I can play music using the iPod app and also use Tom Tom. The music pauses for voice directions.
I don't have an Alpine, so I can't test that for you.

Can I Use HDMI and Thunderbolt Outputs At The Same Time? And Mac App Store Issues

I have a Mid-2011 Mac Mini. I am currently using the HDMI output with an HDMI to Digital Input for a dell monitor. If I wanted to have a second monitor, can I use the Thunderbolt output with a MiniDisplayport to VGA adapter? I know it may sound a little unclear, so if you need a clarification, pelase let me know.
Also, on the same macine, I am having trouble connecting to the Mac App Store. My internet connection is working, and I've tried going into the Keychain Access and there isn't anything with a blue plus. When I go to Store --> Sign In , the sign in widnow doesn't appear.
Thanks
Joey

Yes, that is exactly how to use dual monitors.
Optionally:
if the second monitor has DVI input, use the MiniDisplay Port to DVI adapter.
or if it has Display Port input, then all you need is a straight MiniDisplay Port to Display Port cable.
In Quick Links try Account if Sign In does not work.

Can I use "g" and "n" AXs at the same time for Airtunes?

Hi, hope someone can help with this.
I currently have a wireless "g" network made up of a Netgear DG834PN router handling DHCP and with wireless off, an AEBS "n" as a wirelss base station and 4 AXs (2 "g" and 2"n") doing extended wireless and airtunes to different rooms around the house.
If I use the Netgear for the "g" wifi and the AEBS for an "n" network and then set up the two "g" AXs on the "g" network and the two "n" AXs on the "n" network, but all still plugged into remote speakers will all the AXs still appear in my iTunes remote speaker list?
Also, will I still be able to control them all from the Remote app on my 1st gen iPod touch connected to the "g" network?
I seem to have built a bit of a monster here but it works fine as is. I'd just like to know if I can get a seperate "n" network going without losing any of my airtunes functionality.
Thanks

Yes, just like any network resource they should be available.
Also, will I still be able to control them all from the Remote app on my 1st gen iPod touch connected to the "g" network?
The app on your iPod controls iTunes on your computer streaming the music, so yes you would be able to control them all because you are controlling iTunes.

When I use Premiere and After Effects at the same time, it causes my computer to restart. Why does it do that?

When I create a dynamic link to after effects it will work for a couple seconds, but then I get a black screen saying error and that I need to restart my computer. I can use the programs independently, but not together.

Can i use bluetooth and standard headphones at the same time?

I would like to be able to use my bluetooth headset and have a line out of my iphone using the headphone output. is this possible? i seem to only be able to select one or another.
thanks

No, it's not possible... sound output is one or the other.

Using frame and channel API at the same time.

One of our customers specified the channel-mode number except programming the serial. So I have to use the channel api and the frame api at the the time! Is it possible with a 2 port PXI card like PXI-8461/2 (Port1 for channel api and port 2 for frame api)?

Yes, you can have one port for channel api and one port for frame api. But you cannot mix on one port.

Can I use FaceTime and other apps at the same time

I want my kids to read a book using one ap while they talk to their grandma on FaceTime. Is there a way to do this?

No. Just talk to grandma. Read a book when she's not available.

Time Capsule and 2 macbook at the same time

Hello,
I have a time capsule and 2 macbooks.
Therefore, when my macbook is doing a backup ( every hour), my collegue cannot acces to internet, and cannot backup at the same time.
But it looks like this problem is only one way ( I mean when my collegues backup, I don't have any trouble to go on internet).
Anyone can help? cause it's really annoying.
Thanks

Ngarraud,
Try this:
*Multicast Rate / Transmit Power*
Launch Airport Utility.
Select your Time Capsule on the left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Select "Airport" from the toolbar at the top.
Click the "Wireless" tab.
Click the "Wireless Options..." button.
Check the setting for "Multicast Rate".
This setting controls the range at which you allow devices to access your network. Lower is better if you want access throughout the house. But this setting won't improve speed. Tesserax has a nice explanation of this setting in the following quote:
+"The Multicast Rate option sets the threshold throughput level a wireless client must obtain in order to be "accepted" by the base station. The lower this value, theoretically, the greater number of clients that can connect, especially those at greater distances from the base station. At the opposite end, the higher this number, only those wireless clients that can achieve the higher throughput value will be able to connect.+ [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6736587]
Next, verify that your "Transmit Power: is set to 100%.
*Interference Robustness / Use Wide Channels*
Finally, ensure that "Interference Robustness" is checked (For certain network configurations this setting will say "Use Wide Channels. Verify that it is checked nonetheless.)
Help Doc states: +"You may experience network performance problems if a microwave oven or other source of interference is used frequently near your base station or Time Capsule. To help minimize interference, turn on interference robustness."+
Let us know if this was helpful.
Cheers!
