  • Virtual-Audio-Cable for Arch linux

    Hello guys,
    I'm quiet new to Arch-Linux and I love Arch-Linux (even if I sometimes hate it ).
    I wont to have and virtual audio-device where I can put some Out-Put of any program (for examble VLC) to an input device like a Microphone used by any application for example Teamspeak.
    In Windows I have the program Virtual-Audio-Cable for this and I already read that pulse-audio should serve this functionality, but when I install pulse-audio I don't get this sound-redirecting to work and I get Bugs like my music is stopping when I start Teamspeak or any application with sound output.
    So I wan't to have it (if possible) without using pulseaudio (I already removed it from my system).
    I'm thankful for any hints.
    Sincerely Basti

    pulseaudio comes with the module module-virtual-source. You can load it with pacmd and then use it like a virtual audio cable in pavucontrol.
    pacmd load-module module-virtual-source source_name=loop_source uplink_sink=loop_sink
    Then send sound to loop_sink and record from loop_source.
    Edit: If you want to listen and record at the same time, then you should be able to use module-virtual-sink I think and record from the monitor channel for the virtual sink.
    http://pulseaudio-discuss.freedesktop.n … ce-modules
    With pure alsa it should be possible with the aloop driver.
    Otherwise you'll have to learn JACK.

  • Optical audio cable for iMac?

    I need to find an optical audio cable for my 20" intel iMac.
    I have not been able to determine what kind of cable that it is that I need to be able to hook up my iMac to my logitech z-5500's. I know that the z-5500's have an optical input on them, but it is a standard size optical input.
    Does anyone know what exactly it is that I am looking for?
    Any help is appreciated.

    I wish Apple would sell a nice white Toslink ->Mini-tos adapter, as all of their products seem to be using the connector. (Or better yet, include it with the computers.)
    The cable mentioned above will work fine and is not viciously overpriced like the Monster stuff. Another good quality solution, especially if you already have a regular optical cable, is this adaptor: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=180-968
    I use two of those (both with Dayton Audio optical cables from the same seller, though any optical cable will do as there's no real difference between any of them) with my iMac and AirPort Express, and have not had any problems.

  • Ability to connect Audio Cable for Apple TV to Apple Speaker

    Can I connect my Apple TV XtremeMac XtremeHD Toslink Audio Cable for Apple TV to my external Apple Iphone speaker?
    There is only a single audio cable connection behind the speaker that normally goes from the Iphone.
    Is there some sort of adapter I can use?
    Thanks.

  • Obtaining 7.1 Channel Audio Cable for X-Fi Plati

    Can anyone tell me where I can get the 7. audio cable so that my Gigaworks S750 can work with my X-fi Platinum fully? For now, my 2 side channels aren't working.

    lytrix,
    Can you describe the cable that you do have? The Gigaworks S750's come with a cable that has 3 connections on one end (green, black, orange) and four on the subwoofer end (green, black, orange, and grey). If you do not have this cable, Customer Service can get you one. -800-998-000

  • Male to male audio cable for car doesn't work with my iphone 4s?

    I have a 3.5 mm male to male cable that I have used in my car so I can listen to my music.  It works fine with my iphone 3G, but it doesn't work with the new 4s.  Is there a special cable I need to use with it?  It's weird, because my earbuds work with either iphone, but not the audio cable.  Suggestions??

    I have the exact same issue with my new 4S.
    I haven't find a solution yet.

  • Audio cable for output

    The manual for my new iMac says that the "headphone out" can also serve as a S/PDIF digital out port using a 3.5 mini-phone jack. Where can I get such a cable that has 3.5 jack on one end and an RCA on the other for the the digital transfer. I have heard that a common 3.5 cable will not work.
    Has anyone used this port for digital audio out?
    thanks, Kendall

    hey there Roger,
    i know, i have a Toslink optical out from my 17 CD iMac to my Sony AVR & been in use for over 18 months(i've also been using the standard optical out from my DP G5 for over 4 years & a 3.5 mm mini phone plug adapter from my portable Sharp mini disc over 6 years), but it doesn't use an RCA connector they aren't compatible. S/PDIF is a like a specification or protocol in this instance. S/PDIF over coax isn't the same as S/PDIF over fiber optic for making the *physical connections*. try putting the coax out from your DVD player(RCA connector) into an optical port to see what i mean. *the OP was wanting to connect using TOSlink(fiber optic) to RCA(coax)*

  • Round cables for new system

    I went and ordered my new system components last night and now I need to figure out what cables I will need.
    I want to use the round cables as the flat ribbon cables impede airflow too much.
    I am not sure whether I want to put a floppy drive in or not as it isn't really needed these days, although it is nice for backing up Intenet Explorer Bookmarks quickly.
    Which round cables should I get for my new system, how would you connect them and where have you found the best prices on them?
    I believe the MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 video card comes with a round cable in the retail box I ordered so that takes care of one of them.
    I appreciate the help.  
    My system is going to be as follows:
    MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Mobo
    AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton processor
    Mushkin 512 MB PC2700 222 Level II Hi Performance RAM
    MSI G4Ti4200-VTD8X128 video card      
    Western Digital 80GB 8MB buffer HDD
    LITE ON 16X XJ-HD166S/165H DVD/CDROM
    TDK VeloCD 40x12x40 CDRW

    Mike,
      Yes round cables are the way to go and they connect the same way as your ribbon cables. I use VANTEC in my machines but there are many good manufacturers. Try this link to check for the best prices http://www.pricewatch.com/
    The round cables are also very easy to tywrap out of the way for maximum airflow as you mentioned )

  • Help! connections for the midi and audio cables for use with Apogee & Logic

    Newbie to mac! A Basic question, I know.
    I have:
    Logic express 8
    1 x Apogee Duet
    1 x Midi in/out interface.
    After my external sound module recieves the midi info stored in logic, it creats an audio signal.
    QUESTION!
    How do I... monitor this output with my audio recoded files in logic. so audio and midi (final mix) is played together, using the Duet?
    I understand that a seperate mixer would do the job, i have one, but i need to keep the music making and recoding process as simple as possible, otherwise i get annoyed with lots of settings and things and give up... for another year!
    All I wanna do is:
    Record one real instrument at a time. these would be Guitar, Bass and Mic. (ok, simple connections with the duet.)
    Record midi keyboard messages into logic, edit, quantise etc. rhave logic send the midi info out to my roland xv 5080, and route the audio out of the xv 5080 with the final mix.
    (I dont know if this can be done with the Duet??)??
    Whilst advoiding the use of a seperate hardwarwe mixer.
    would i have been better going for the Ultralite or something?
    Any help is much appreciated as i am struggling to get my head round the basics.

    I understand that it can be done this way, but i will be continually swapping leads. Yes a mxer wuld solve this, bu would a cheapish mixer effect the sound quality of the duet?
    could i use the digital output on roland and send to the imac's digital in? and at the same time record audio in logic. so basically this digital signal will go into imac into logic then be routed straight to the output that the duet is connected to? Would this work, is there a seting in logic where u can have more than 1 input and send this straight to the main outputs??
    ooooo, maybe thats a possibility, just hought of that. dont know if it'll work though.
    Thanks clanwork

  • True 7.1 audio cable setup for audigy 2

    just got the ZS and the Creative Inspire P7800 7. speaker set, and it comes with a 4 to 3 cable connector - 3 cables to the sound card and 4 to the sub. I read that I'm missing a connection to the sound card for a true 7. audio setup, but not sure if my card accepts 4 connections. People said they could just buy an extra audio cable for non-creative sound cards with the extra port for that 4th cable, but how bout for the ZA?

    Everything's working fine and I've followed the manuals - I just want to know how to plug in that 4th connector to the sound card to get that "true 7. configuration" I've read about. Some people would unplug the gray wire from the sub, get a new audio cable, and connect the sub and a (non-creative) soundcard that has the additional output (a line 4 out I believe, while the audigy has 3).

  • Cable for ipod - HELP!!!

    I was looking at purchasing the XtremeMac Auxiliary Audio Cable for iPod and I just want to be clear that I am understanding the description correctly. Do you plug the cable into your ipod (where the headphones go) and also into your stereo (also where the headphones go) so it plays from your stereo speakers? I would appreciate an answer soon since I am considering buying this in time for Christmas. Thanks.

    I don't think that is right. You need an audio in jack on the stereo. A headphone jack would be audio out. I haven't seen a car stereo with a headphone jack. I have seen an auxilary jack on some - for use with mp3 players.

  • Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset Need Audio Cable

    Lost both audio cables for my yellow Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset. Does anybody knows where can I get a new one? Wpold prefer the one with the volume control.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, my point exactly. Forgive me, I should have used the word common, instead of standard.
    When you go to a store and want to buy a headset for your mobile, which "standard" are you most likely to see supported?  Of all the headphones available today for mobile phones, what percentage of them support Apple vs OMTP?  An not those $4.95 cheap things, I'm talking about a decent headset.
    The headset that worked with my HTC Titan no longer worked with my 920, in fact after a great deal of searching I only found one decent headset that did, the above mentioned Nokia Purity. So what if it supports a new open standard that no one uses, how did that help me?
    The worst thing about this headset is that they were cheap plastic with a terrible mic that suffers from too much wind noise - problems fixed in other manufacturers a long time ago - and because they were made by Monster, they were twice as expensive as they needed to be. I used them gingerly a handful of times and still they broke on me - which was expected.
    So a year later, I want to move on and I am here to find out what I can move on too. Neither my Spyder True Voice or my NOCS work. I tried the converter route, didn't work. When I go to Amazon and type in OMTP or AHJ Headset nothing decent shows up. Now the only set that did work are discontinued - so back to my original question, what do I do now? 

  • Apple TV2 missing analog audio output for multi-zone system

    Found out the hard way that most receivers can't support digital audio in multiple zones (i.e., Zone 2). Since Apple TV2 (ATV2) dispensed with any analog output, if you have a whole-house system that depends on mult-zone to distribute audio to various speakers, you won't be able to use ATV2 to stream music to anything other than Zone 1. The only outputs are HDMI and optical (both digital audio). I think I found a work around (which, of course costs more money) which is a "de-embedding" device from Atlona that takes HDMI in and splits out the audio to analog and passes the HDMI through to the receiver. The analog audio output then lets me connect to the analog in on the receiver so it can stream to all zones. I figure Apple just didn't have enough real estate on the new product to make room for analog, but it's a pain. Hope this helps someone. If anyone knows a better work-around, I'd love to hear it.

    I have the same issue with a MacMini I use for music. My solution was to use an inexpensive optical splitter - one feed to the optical input of my receiver and the second to a DAC. Then run standard RCA audio cables from the DAC to the analog Zone 2 inputs.
    Here is a link for a DAC
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10423&cs_id=1042302&pid=6884&seq=1&format=2
    They should have the splitter as well.

  • Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.

    Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.
    Currently I have an original AppleTV with audio RCA plugs to mini plug into my BOSE speakers.
    The 2nd Gen AppleTv has a Toslink input. I've looked at cables of Toslink to optical mini. Will this cable work? The optical mini part I'm not sure of what it is.
    Thanks so much. The monitor I use doesn't have speakers.
    This is the cable I see at Amazon

    If I understand your question correctly, you want to connect your Apple TV2 to your Bose system using a mini plug.
    You will need an optical to digital coax RCA converter (find it on Ebay about $15), then you can connect your mini cable. Here is a link to one I recently bought on Ebay: http://fwd4.me/nrQ
