  • APPLE TV OPTICAL OUT LET NOT WORKING

    George,
    Check the optical audio lead is working properly.  I have a Samsung sound bar working with my 2nd Gen Apple TV.

  • Optical Audio Is Not Working with Onkyo Receiver TX-SR501

    Hello,
    I can't seem to make the optical audio from Apple TV work with my Onkyo Receiver TX-SR501. The Onkyo has 2 optical audio lines in in the back. When I hit the "digital input" button on the front of receiver, I can select from OPT1, OPT2, or COAX. I currently have the optical audio line going into OPT2, but if I select OPT2, I hear no sound. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Holly

    I have the exact same receiver (Onkyo TX SR-501) and tgibbs is correct...you must (during a setup process) link each function (DVD, Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, CD, etc.) with its audio source. The Optical cable doesn't connect to a "function" in the back, it connects to an "input". The receiver gives you the freedom to use different inputs with different functions. It's your job, durng the "setup" to map each of these inputs to each function...that way the receiver knows where to go looking for the audio that you are feeding into it for each function you choose. The owners manual has a pretty clear setup process outlined in it.
    Not clear to me that you understood this, so forgive me if I am explaining what is already clear to you.

  • My apple TV optical connection is not working with optical to analog adapter after the update to 6.0.

    When i bought the apple tv, i could listen to my iPhone's music on my home's audio system, which was connected to the apple tv through a digital to analog audio converter. It was working until the apple tv upgrade to 6.0. I tried connecting the apple tv directly to another amplifier with optical input and it worked fine, i tried the converter on the play station and it worked as well. I switched the DD on the apple tv settings from Auto to on and the problem remains. Any ideas?

  • Optical audio output not working on mac mini

    I have a brand new mac mini (less than a week old) that I've hooked up to my media center. Unfortunately, when I hook the optical audio output to my Pioneer receiver, I get no sound. I know the receiver decodes optical audio correctly because it does so with my DVD player and my Xbox. I have tried all 4 optical inputs on the receiver, and have tried two different optical cables, as well as 2 different optical adaptors (required by mac mini to go from TOSLINK to the mini TOSLINK output on the mac). This tells me that all signs point to the problem being with the mac audio optical output stage itself. I have called apple technical support and have had it looked at, at an apple store. Unfortunately, the apple store does not carry a device where the audio output could be plugged in to verify that no sound is delivered. Apple refuses to replace the unit because I cannot prove to them that the problem is with the mac mini and not with the pioneer receiver. I find this incredible. My first experience (and quite possibly my last) with a mac has proven to be a nightmare.
    Before I contemplate returning the unit and demanding my money back, is there any help anyone can provide....some magic bullet I've overlooked? Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks....

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, when I plug in the optical cable to the mac, it senses it correctly and changes from "Internal Speakers" to "Digital Out" under the sound system preferences. Also, there is definitely red light coming out of the other end of the cable. That only tells me that the "carrier frequency" of light is most probably being generated, but not that the digital audio information is being modulated on top of it.
    Any other ideas? Out there?

  • Optical audio out not working (incl the solution for me)

    problem:
    new 2011 Mac Mini, 2.5G
    connecting to
    a) TV via HDMI
    b) to a D/A converter and amplifier for a bit better music output
    This worked perfectly for my previous MiniMac that I replace due to my need for speed.
    Now, I could see some red light at the end of the optical cable, but the D/A box did not recognize a signal?
    Furthermore, the Sound switch in Settings would only make the TV play.
    solution:
    after a lot of troubleshooting at the Genius Bar in Beijing (big thanks for that ... the shop is terribly crowded and they never manage to keep the appointments), we found the optical cable to be faulty .... it was apparently bent too much and still had some throughput but not enough to make the receiver read it.
    Nasty one!

    I just purchased this exact same receiver (used). Same issue with Apple TV. Anyone ever figure out to make it work correctly? Thanks.  

  • Multiedia audio controller not working HELP!!!!!!!!

    upgraded to win 2000 lost drivers to my multimedia audio controller (no drivers) I believe the model number is sc0209 but how do I get the right drivers to make my sound work again? New at this but
    trying to find drivers to get my sound working.

    Pugdad,
    The model number for the sound card is located on the PCB circuit board itself. It should be printed something like CT**** or SB****.

    Hi klgksharma,

  • My audio does not work on my pavilion dv4. i just bought this laptop a few days ago. what's going on

    my audio does not work on my pavilion dv4

    This worked for me.
    Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Log out/in
    If it works, delete the .plist on your desktop.
    If  the same, return the .plist to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • System Audio Is Not Working: Error AppleLegacyAudio/AppleTexas2Audio.cpp

    Hello,
    I noticed last night that my audio has stopped working, both input and output. After checking the system log, this is the message that is repeated numerous times:
    *Nov 19 13:04:03 sylvesters-powerbook-g4-17 kernel[0]: ^PSound assertion "0 != err" failed in "AppleLegacyAudio/AppleTexas2Audio/AppleTexas2Audio.cpp" at line 2703 goto Exit
    Is the reason the audio is not working simply a matter of a missing file or do I need to completely reinstall the OS? I have a back up that I can quickly copy files from.
    Thank you very much.

    Hello,
    Try deleting this file: com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that .plist file from the Preferences folder to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. See if your audio works as it should. If not... might want to do an Archive and Install:
    Reinstalling Mac OS X
    Under some circumstances, you may need to reinstall Mac OS X. You can reinstall Mac OS X while keeping your files and user settings intact.
    Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon.
    Follow the onscreen instructions. In the panel where you select the destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk (in most cases, it will be the only one available).
    Click Options. *If you want to save your existing files, users, and network settings, select "Archive and Install," then select "Preserve Users and Network Settings.*" If you want to erase everything on your computer and reinstall Mac OS X, select "Erase and Install." You can't recover erased data.
    Click Continue.
    Click Customize to select which parts of Mac OS X you'd like to install, or click Install to perform a basic installation (recommended).
    If you purchased a standalone version of Mac OS X, these installation instructions are in a booklet included with Mac OS X.
    If you need to reinstall the version of Mac OS X that was on your computer when you purchased it, or if you need to restore all the software on your computer, including Apple, bundled third-party applications, and printer drivers, instructions are in the manual that came with your computer.

  • Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

    Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

    If you use an HDMI cable, the audiostream will be integrated, so there will be sound when using an HDMI cable!
    Not necessarily.  That only works as stated if you have one of the most recent MBP's that has a built-in HDMI port.
    If the MBP only has a Thunderbolt or miniDisplayPort, you need an appropriate adapter cable and even if you use an HDMI adapter or cable to connect to your HDTV there is no guarantee it will carry audio.  You have to determine if your specific MBP model supports audio out through its miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output, and whether the adapter does likewise.
