27" iMac audio in not working or am I doing it wrong?

Fortunately I am not experiencing any display issues on my quad-core iMac, yet... However, I am trying to use the audio-in port and seem to be having problems. When I input an audio signal (analog, like from an iPod headphone jack) I can see the "meter" bouncing in the Sound System Setting panel. However, I do not hear the music on the iMac's speakers.
I do not see anything that says the port is digital only and I have the audio input and output set correctly. Is there something else that needs to be configured to hear the sounds on the iMacs's speakers?

You will need a little app like Linein from Rogue Amoeba. It is a freebie!
LineIn is a simple application for OS X to enable the soft playthru of audio from input devices. In simpler terms, you can use LineIn to play sound coming in through a microphone or any other device plugged in to your Sound In port, just as was once available with OS 9's "Play input through output device" option.

  • Help!!! Images are blurry/low-res in InDesign files I sent - re-linking is not working or we're doing it wrong :(

    So I am transferring all of my InDesign files over to my boss because I am leaving my job, but all of the photos placed in the layouts I've created show up blurry when he opens the files on his own computer. We've tried relinking the files, even! We may be doing it wrong, so first of all, could I get a detailed step-by-step to relinking files? Secondly, if that doesn't work, what else would you suggest?
    Info that may or may not help: I have a PC, he has a Mac, we used Google Drive to share the files, and I've already tried packaging the files.
    Thanks!

    Is it now the appearance in ID only or also PDF output? If the output is fine, it may just be the screen display settings. ID by default shows a low res screen copy. You can check on the boss' computer by selecting an image, right click and change the setting...near the bottom of the menu.
    Also, in the links panel, are all the images up to date?

  • Crossfade not working or am I doing it wrong?

    I just installed the latest preview on my Mac, and have enabled the crossfade option in the preferences, but new tracks just start playing straight away with no crossfading occurring.Is this not working, or am I confused as how the crossfade should work (it says in the blog "fading out one song as you bring another in" but it doesn't appear to work like that)? 

    Hello, I report also that crossfade does not work properly. It works only when songs are in queve. But what if I want to stop song and change to antoher on the fly, the crossfade don't work. This is very bad in party situations when you find people don't like the song, so you would want in a good spot to crossfade next song or hit next song button to start on the fly new song. But then comes the **bleep**tiest feature of soptify, crossfade does not work. Song is stoppe right away, then next song is starting to load. PLEASE, PLEASE soptify, update your crossfade to work ALWAYS, when hitting next button, when starting new song via play button or in any method, when starting a song use crossfade songs. Please fix this.

  • Contact 'Sync' not working. Am I doing something wrong?

    I am completely new to iPhone, but willing to give it a shot before I call it quits.  I was told if I activate my Gmail account, all contacts would sync onto the phone - which is not the case [or at least didn't work right for me].  That said, I searched on the web and in the iPhone Support Community for an answer and haven't found specifically what I am looking for.  This is where I am at now:
    I've exported my Gmail contacts to my MacBook's Address Book.  I see all the contacts there from my Gmail account.
    I've already gone into iTunes and plugged in my phone to Sync - choosing the contact options available, specifically related to my Gmail account.  Again, not all contacts were synced. 
    I've also tried the Exchange Mail settings as suggested by Google's website, and that hasn't worked. 
    What am I doing wrong?  Is there a way to Sync my MacBook's Address book to the iTunes folder so it will all Sync to my phone accordingly?
    Can someone please help me?  Thanks!

  • ALV - set_text in column header not working (or I'm doing something wrong)

    In the WDDOINIT module of my view that contains the ALV, I have the code:
    method wddoinit .
      data: l_ref_cmp_usage type ref to if_wd_component_usage,
            lr_column        type ref to cl_salv_wd_column,
            lr_column_header type ref to cl_salv_wd_column_header.
      l_ref_cmp_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ).
      if l_ref_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) is initial.
        l_ref_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
      endif.
      data: l_ref_interfacecontroller type ref to iwci_salv_wd_table .
      l_ref_interfacecontroller =   wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ).
      data: l_value type ref to cl_salv_wd_config_table.
      l_value = l_ref_interfacecontroller->get_model( ).

      lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
      data: l_column_text type string.
      l_column_text = 'Must Change By'.
      lr_column_header->set_text( l_column_text ).
    endmethod.
    The text in the column header does not change.  It uses what is in the dictionary.

    Try setting the set_ddic_binding_field( '00' ).

  • 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.

  • XPS 8700, audio is not working

    Hi,
    I got this new desktop last month. From the beginning the audio is not working. When I tried installing the drivers from the dell site, I get this error. My system details are:
    XPS 8700 (Mid 2013)
    <private data>
    When I install this:
    Audio_CREATIVE_W7_W8_W81_A00_Setup-241T2_ZPE.exe
    I get the error setup is unable to install.
    When I install this:
    XPS-8700_Audio_Driver_313J8_WN_6.0.1.6909_A01.EXE 
    I get this error =
    Vendor Software Return Code: 3

    Please tell me what to do

    The audio loaded correctly. Plug speakers or head phones (not wireless head phones) into the rear green audio jack. Then the red arrow should disappear under Sound- Playback Speakers.
    The KM632 USB adapter should be unplugged, then plugged back into a USB port on the rear of the XPS 8700.
    Do that and see if these change.

  • 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.
