A 'Mini Stereo Speakers' riddle

Hello,
A riddle I can't figure out;
I want to pair my Blackberry Mini Stereo Speakers with my Z10, but the Z10 does not see them, but it pairs up fine with my Playbook so I think the Z10's Bluethooth is working ok.
My iPod Touch sees my Blackberry Mini Stereo Speakers and pairs up just fine with them. So I think the Speakers are working ok.
My girlfriend's Android Smartphone doesn't see my Blackberry Mini Stereo Speakers either.
Any idea of what might be wrong?
Solved!

Mini Stereo Speaker (great concept disappointing performance)

Blackberry!!! what are you doing.
I have bought the new mini stereo speaker. the concept and workmanship is excellent.
You can attach it on any safety belt...bag carrying strap....standby time...operating time is excellent.
it can be used as portable "stereo" speaker and you can connet "ordinary" headphones, earphones to use bluetooth stereo...
BUT:
The sound is very disappointing! Blackberry claims that they use Bluetooth 3.0 but in fact the performance is even less than 2.1 bluetooth versions...the typical "chirping" and distorted sound of old style bluetooth generation 2 and 2.1
For the ones who do not care about good sound quality it is an amazing product with excellent usability...for the ones who care about sound quality (at least for headphone use...because that those tiny built in mini stereo speakers cannot perform nice is oabvious) it will be a dissapointing experience and the item is outperformed by any bluetooth headphone or receiver in the market nowadays! As a hands free system it is JUST enough...
Either Blackberry has mixed up their bluetooth chip sets in production or they just name it bluetooth 3.0 and use 2.1...the item is not that cheap and for this price "sound matters"!
Blackberry smartphones always had very good bluetooth sound quality...i use it in my car from old Bold generation onwards (now i use Q10...still a great stereo sound with bluetooth, much better than iphone and android phones) but in combination with their OWN mini speaker a desaster...i tested the device also with Sony Experia Z...it was slightly better, but still bad!
I always had been a Blackberry fan...but slowly and constantely you make me run away from your brand, Mr Thorsten Heins! you are frustrating Blackberry user, like me, already by skipping all that great features of the past (security and data compression) and great concepts of useful accessories lag the right technical solutions which are standard nowadays!
Kind regards from Vienna,
Rafael

I have not seen this issue with mine and I have used it on my Q, Z and 9860

Audigy 4 and standard stereo speakers... how

I have an Audigy 4 card and I'd like to get my pc sound to go through my standard home stereo speakers. What do I have to do to get this to work? I'm a sound system newbie. Is there a particular jack on my stereo that I should be looking for that would connect to the sound card?

Cable:
(stereo) Mini jack plug to 2 RCA (L/R) cable.
Connection:
Soundcard:Line-Out # --> (depending on stereo system but) Stereo:Aux-In should be OK.

When playing iTunes from 2006 MacBook via Airport Express remote stereo speakers, the music keeps dropping in and out

I've tried hours and a trip to the Apple Store to resolve this problem, and no luck so far.
We have two Airport Expresses -- one is an older "g" version (from 2006), one is a newer "n" version (a couple of years old).
We have one older MacBook (from June 2006) (so it can only use "g" wireless and also cannot be upgraded to OS X 10.7 "Lion").
We have one MacBook Air and an iMac (both less than a year old), an iPad (about 2 months old), and a recently acquired AppleTV (in the past few weeks).
We also have two iPhones that do use our local wireless network on occassion.
We have stereo speakers that are currently connected into one of the Airport Expresses.
For years (until the past few weeks) I played music from iTunes on my first generation MacBook to the speakers with no problems (using the older "g" Airport Express). Recently, however, when playing music remotely over the speakers we have gotten fairly regular (though at random intervals) drops of the music in and out (drops are for a second or two each). So far, here's what we've tried to do:
(1)     Went to the Apple Store, where they thought the problem might be compatability between the g and n equipment in our house. They suggested that we get an Airport Extreme and use that as the base so that 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz networks could each be set up, allowing the two systems to play nicely. Spent a couple of hours setting everything up. No dice.
(2)     The skipping happens even when (a) I turn off the Apple TV; and/or (b) turn off the older Airport Express and just use the Extreme and the "n" Express (with the "n" Express as the connection to the stereo).
(3)      When I have the wireless network drop-down menu selected on my MacBook, the skipping occurs immediately after the computer is "looking for networks" (as shown at the top of the menu). The computer does this at random intervals on a regular basis. The skipping, however, will occur even if the menu is not selected.
(4)     Here's the weirdest part. The skipping has even occured when playing iTunes from our newish iMac, with the older MacBook shut down, with the older Airport Express shut down. In this case, the skipping only appears to occur when we have the wireless network drop-down menu selected and again, it occurs when the computer is "looking for networks" which occurs at random intervals. In this situation, the skipping only seems to occur when the menu is selected.
At this point, if I can't find another solution, I'm going to return the Airport Extreme, and just give up playing music over our stereo speakers from the MacBook (and instead transfer music to the iMac and play from it). But I thought I'd try a last-ditch effort to ask for help to see if anyone could figure out what might be causing the problem. I would chalk it up to the problems of using my old "g" network MacBook on a newer "n" system (though I'm not about to spend $1K+ to upgrade my laptop just for this), but for (4) above, which seems to indicate something else is going on.
Any help would be most appreciated!

Unfortunately, your description of the problem and the placement of both your main and AirPort Express routers does lend itself to believe the problem is most likely Wi-Fi interference. If it isn't the microwave or portable phones, it could be obstacles like walls between the routers that may be preventing the stream from consistently reaching the Express.
In your configuration, the stream will first travel to the main router, and then, from the main router to the AirPort Express. If, for example, you started the stream in the same room as the Express, that stream would have to travel across several rooms at least twice.

X300 Stereo Speakers not working properly

I have an X300 Thinkpad. My soundcard appears to be working - if I plug in a set of headphones or external speakers they work fine, but once I unplug from the headphone jack the integrated stereo speakers operate at very low volume (even when on full volume) and are very distorted.
This seems to be connected to either:
a. When I activated Bluetooth for the first time and a bunch of BT drivers were installed (off the harddrive)
b. When I updated the Thinkpad Audio features XIII
I have installed and uninstalled all the audio devices and BT devices, updated all the Thinkpad software, checked the BIOS, updated the audio and BT drivers, and every checked every other conceivable option!!!! The bugging thing is that in the Sounds panel in the Control Panel it says the speakers are working properly and the drivers are up to date.
Has anyone else experienced something similar? Has anyone got any ideas on what has happened?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

@ All,
please correct me if I am wrong; up to now members know that you have problems with the sound levels / speakers on X300 ThinkPads.
A little more information would be helpfull, maybe you could all post, (or better still edit existing posts), information as to which operating system (with / without SPs) is concerned, whether or not this is a factory or clean install, and last but not least which sound driver is installed.
Thanks in advance

Stereo speakers to audio video hook ups

is it possible to hook up stereo speakers by themselves to the back of my tv...how do i convert to speaker wire to audio jacks. what do i need to do this with
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, it is not possible to do so because tv's do not have the required amps inside to sustain the power of the speakers. You would have to buy a stereo receiver. (i.e. 5.1 receiver)

Was wondering if the iphone 4s supports hd voice on telstra? wb-amr i think its called does it have stereo speakers as well?

Connecting stereo speakers to an iMac

I am thinking about making the final jump and just trashing my stereo and running all my music through my iMac. Three questions:
1.) Is the output of an iMac going to be high enough quality to sound good through my stereo speakers?
2.) Is this done by simply connecting a set of stereo speakers to my iMac through the headphone jack?
3.) My current stereo is hooked up to three sets of speakers (one set in each of three rooms) and I'm wondering if I can split the output signal from my single headphone jack so that the music comes out of all three speakers.
4.) I'm incredulous that my little iMac will be able to produce quality sound equal to my stereo system. Am I wrong? (My wife will only allow this change if I guarantee that she won't even notice a difference.)
Thanks in advance!
Peter Booth

Hi Peter,
1. the output is good enough to run external speakers through (you'd need to have the hearing of a bat to notice the difference. Only the very highest and ver, very lowest of frequencies are lost.)
2. yes the headphone jack will work (if you iMac has an 'output' jack though, use it instead.)
3. Yes, you will lose ouput accordingly (is the stereo designed to run two speakers is running six, all speakers will recieve only 1/3 signal, unless you install extra capacitors in your amps to compensate for loss of output.
4. refer to answer 1
Kind Regards,
Peter Miller.

Airport Express: am playing my stereo speakers but it continually cuts out

Have set-up Airport Express and music is playing through the stereo speakers (and/or via my computer speakers) but the music continually cuts out every couple of seconds on both the stereo and my computer

Thanks, Tesserax. I'll need to try headphones directly into the Airport Express tonight, but I'm guessing there won't be any static that way.
I'm actually streaming the AX to an Apple TV (2nd gen.), which connects to my receiver via HDMI. After playing around with it a bit more last night, I've determined that the interference is definitely from the wifi network. The static is most pronounced whenever data is passing over the network (i.e., when I am loading a website on my laptop, when I'm accessing my iTunes library over the ATV, etc.). So, as strange as it might sound, it appears that my receiver has started picking up electromagnetic interference from my AX wifi network.
This leads me to believe that it's a shielding issue with either the AX or the receiver. I've certainly heard of people experiencing faulty shielding in receivers, but has anyone ever heard of shielding issues with the AX? Unfortunately, I don't have an extra wireless router or receiver lying around, so I can't easily switch them out to see which one is the culprit. Any suggestions?

Connecting the old Apple Pro 2-piece stereo speakers

about 4 yrs ago I bought a pair of Apple pro stereo speakers for my Power Mac G4 and Powerbook. They still work beautifully. This year I bought a new Macbook Pro. I've now discovered that the speakers don't attach to the MBP. I've tried my local Apple store and I've tried on-line searches, I've even bought connective pieces that I thought might work from the on-line picture. The connecting piece to the MBP output port for headphone/speakers is different in size and no one seems to be able to sell me a piece that makes the speakers connect. Has anyone else had the same problem and found a solution?

Yes. No. There are lots of really good speakers that would sound as good and would likely cost less than adpaters and the like.
People used to use Griffin iFire and Griffin Powerwave both which you cannot buy now but maybe find on eBay.
There is a mixed digital and analog thing going on so lopping off wires and the like won't work, you need a D/A converter in the mix.

Having problems with the Built-in stereo speakers, how can i activate them?

Mi built-in stereo speakers are not working, and i cant increase or decrease the volume, the icon is in grey and i cant chance it

There have been more than a few cases of a tiny "switch" inside the audio jack having issues. Try gently inserting a 3.5mm audio plug into the jack part way and removing it. Next try a bit further. Continue this until you get it all the way in (without jamming it in) or sound starts working properly.
Also check to see if sound will play in ear/headphones via the jack.
People have also had success gently wiggly an audio plug in the jack or using something small to poke around inside the jack and reset the switch. Gently, carefully . . . don't want to damage anything.

Wanting to connect an older G4 Powerbook running OS 10.4.11 to a Marantz SR4023 receiver amplifier with only RCA inputs to play iTunes through it on stereo speakers. Can anyone advise how to do this?

Wanting to connect an older G4 Powerbook running OS 10.4.11 to a Marantz SR4023 receiver amplifier with only RCA inputs to play iTunes through it on stereo speakers. Can anyone advise how to do this? Not tech savvy at all here, and will be happy with a simple hard wired connection. The Powerbook is old, and I no longer want to use it for anything but connecting iTunes radio, and my iTunes library to my stereo system.

Hi,
There were many PowerBook G4 models (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3065) with different ports (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2369).
If necessary, a manual can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#PowerBook%20G4
Generally speaking, the output of a headphone port can often be used for the connection to an amplifier. You would need an appropriate cable (typically, 3.5 mm stereo plug to two RCA plugs). Choose a suitable amplifier input (high level). Do verify the allowed amplifier input voltage levels and the impedance before you connect.

Here's the one I love, the Altec Lansing iM 237. Don't be put off by the small size or cheap price. I have two, one for home and one for my studio/travel.

Why do I get a humming noise from my stereo speakers when I plug in airport?

Why do I get a humming noise from my stereo speakers when I plug in my airport?

Temporarily, please turn off your amplifier and/or powered speakers and disconnect the plug that goes into the AirPort Express audio jack.
Plug a pair of headphones directly into the AirPort Express and listen for a few minutes.
Do you hear the "hum" that way?
