Audio: from appletv (toslink) to my sound system (3,5mm analog)

How can I connect my apple tv with toslink sound output to my stereo (audio in 3,5mm analog).
Is it right to use a cable like that:

or do I need a converter from optical output to analog input? Can you suggest me the right solution??

If you don't want to run the audio from the TV output to the stereo (as suggested above) you will need an optical (digital) to analog converter. There are many adapters to do this, just be aware that not all of them can accept Dolby 5.1 input. This means that if you're watching a 5.1 HD movie, the converter will not provide an analog output unless it was designed to take a 5.1 input. However, you can also turn the Dolby 5.1 output OFF on the Apple TV, so that should work even with adapters that can't handle 5.1 input. If you only plan on using the stereo for music playback, then this is not an issue since the Apple TV puts out PCM rather than Dolby 5.1 for music.
I think the cable you listed is for converting a 3.5mm digital output from a Mac to a Toslink optical input on an AV receiver.

How to play music or voice audio from my computer though my sterio system.

How can I play music or voice audio from my iMac G5 computer though my sterio system. I have tried everything I can think of. I just can not get the audio from my computer to play though my sterio system. I want to take the audio from my computer and record it back to audio cassett. Please tell me there is a easy way to go about this LOL. Thanks.

I wanted to give a big thanks to all that gave me great and very needed help. I wanted to let everyone know that. I did fix my problom with get music out of my computer and into my stereo. Here is how I did it. If you already have a stereo with a RCA line in you are good to go. All you need is a hifi-link I got one from circuit city. With it you can take the music from your computer be PC or Mac and play it though your stereo but again your stereo must have a audio in for you to get music to come though your stereo or at least it was the only way I could get it to work for me. Oh and you will need a free USB port on your computer for the hifi-link to hook to see it dose not us your computers audio card. Instead it go's though your USB. It work just great. But you should read on the back of the box or when you are looking for iy on the net make shour it will work with your computer some older systems it will not work with.
I have been needing a new stereo for sometime now. I really like shelf stereo systems. So I got me a Sony MHC-GX570XM. Now it sells for $249.95. Now I did a search for this system and the only plays I could find that sells it was Sony. Now here is the kicker I went to Sams with my Dad. We had stoped to look a the flat screen TVs. As we were walking away from the electronics. I saw it as plain has day there it was in all it glory. Now the crazy thing is this system was not on there web site though it could be now. But when I was looking for this cool system they did not have it on there web site. I got this system for get this $199 thats like I think $50 off the asking price. Now I would have been more then happy to pay the $249.95. I liked to have had a fit right there in the store LOL. I thought I was going to have to order it online. If I had did that I would had haved to pay even more with s/h...
Now two of the big reasons I got this system was for the PC/line in or you can hook up a MP3 player and play it though the system very cool. Sec reason It has to cassettes decks 1 plays and the other recordes. The really cool thing is it is XM radio ready. Though you will need a XM membership and a XM antina. But from what I have read thats all you need. It also has a 3 CD changer that swivals. It has so many cool thing I can not name them all. Now this system my not be for everyone. But it dose all that I need and more. Also it really helps to have a hifi-link so you can hook it to your computer the easy way and not have to go though your sound card. Thanks again for everyones time and help.

I get only sound from left with 5.1 sound system on Satellite P100

Hi!
I have a P100-347 and a logitech 5.1 sound system.
The logitech 5.1 has 3 connection: 1 to be plugged to the Line-In, the other to be connected to the Line-out and the 3rd to be connected to the Microphone socket.
When using it on my desktop which has a random SIS sound card it works fine.
Yesterday I've connected it to the P100-347 but I only get sound from the Line-out socket. I have changed the sound preferences to 5.1 but it makes no difference... I only get sound from the Line-out. Is there any drivers update that I should do or is anyone aware of this and how can I fix it??
Just one more thing... With the laptop came this cd "Express Media Player Recovery CD", what is this? Is this something to be installed after runing the "Product Recovery CD" in order to install some drivers or whatever is in this cd comes with the Product Recovery CD as well? Does anyone knows?
Thank you.

Hi
There is no problem. As you said the notebook supports Line-in; headphone & S/PDIF jack and Microphone jack.
If you want to connect the HiFI or another device you have to choose the headphone & S/PDIF jack. Only this port provides the audio outputting.
The both another jacks provide only the function for signal (sound) receiving!
My notebook provides the same jacks and I have connected the notebook to HiFI (5 speakers) via Y-audio cable like this one:

I dont have internet via landline, but via a dongle on mac pro, can airport extreme be used to stream music from my mac pro to sound system?

What is the best apple product for me to wireless connect my apple mac pro (wireless internet connection) to printer, itunes to sound systems etc? I do not have landline internet connection.

UPDATE:
I have been stress testing StreamToMe in the house and "out in the wild" and it is working very well. There are one or two clunky steps in order to switch from the in-my-house wifi to the cellular network but it's just better (to me) than uploading about 750 GB of music that is restricted by iTunes rules and limitations to "the cloud". The major advantage is that this solution plays more file formats than iTunes will. In addition, I can access music files anywhere on my mac - even if they are not in my iTunes library. Playlists from iTunes are available, too.
I am not associated with this company in any way. I am astounded that there are not more solutions available and that there are not more people discussing this issue. Subscription models like Spotify are great and the cloud is fine for those that don't have large libraries But when I have a humongous library and I don't want to move it around up and down to someone else's server or pay to access it after I have already paid for it I find the lack of ease of doing this baffling.
I hope that this info can help someone looking for information relating to this type of solution...

No audio from speakers or jack. Sound bar shows audio activity. All drivers updated. HP G62.

I cannot get audio from the speakers or audio jack. All drivers updated, realtek, BIOS F37.
There is activity on the windows sound bar (green level moves) when music is played, however no audio is executed.
HP Support Assistant software was installed, but no detection of the problem.
No warranty since March 2011
I will deeply appreciate any support or guidance to solve this problem. Thank you very much in advance.

Hi vc329,
Doesn't sound like encouraging news, though it is odd that the sound came back for a short while at least. If you still haven't rebooted the PC since putting it to sleep and loosing the sound, then I would suggested going ahead and rebooting or even doing a full hard reset (power down, remove the AC adapter, remove the battery, hold down the power button for 20 seconds or so, then reconnect the AC power and Battery and boot up) to see if the sound can be recovered again.
If the sound still doesn't work, Check Device Manager to see if the sound driver still looks OK, make sure you are using the latest driver again (it looks like the latest driver is 6.10.6381.0), another option might also be to try the older driver that is still available from the site, or try recovering the original driver shipped on the PC. The steps to do these things are covered in the document listed below, in Step 6 (Restoring the Audio Driver), Step 7 (Updating the Audio Driver), and Step 8 (Checking Device Manager):
No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
If none of that seems to help, I'd recommend testing the hardware using Step 9 in that document.
If the online warranty check sees you as out of warranty, you may still be OK if you have the original proof of purchase (receipt) from wherever you purchased the PC, but you may have to provide it when calling HP for service if the sound can't be fixed. If you are close to the end of warranty I'd recommend calling customer care for your area (I assume you are still in Asia) and validating the warranty with them as soon as possible just to make sure.
Although I am an HP Employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

Stopping audio from sleeping as I'm missing system sounds?

I tried posting this before but got no responses, so I'm trying again as this is VERY annoying.
I'm using the optical sound output from my iMac 2011 into a receiver, and am having problems with audio sleeping.
What is clearly happening is that the audio is going to sleep after 30 seconds if no sounds are played. (I can hear a pop from the speakers when the sleep occurs.)
When audio is awoken, the first second or so of the sound gets missed. Now, when that is a system sound, e.g. mail send or arrival, they get missed completely!
I have tried Antipop which sort of works but there must be a better solution to this problem.

Some fonts are located in the folder /System/Library/Fonts/ on the Tiger installation DVD or CDs; to get at the other fonts, use Pacifist to extract them from the Tiger installation DVD or CDs.

Recording audio from the web without recording sound from the internal microphone...

Is there a way to record audio sound sources, for example a webcast in a browser, without without also recording sound thru the built in internal microphone on the MacPro laptop running Mountain Lion?

You need something along the lines of Audio Hijack Pro or WireTap Studio. The latter is currently broken in Lion and Mountain Lion for your purposes, so that leaves Audio Hijack Pro. Neither is free, but both are worth their asking price (well, WireTap Studio will be once they deign to repair it).
HTH.

Recording audio from a digital source on sound blaster M

This is my setup: DVD player > optical cable > optical-in on Sound Blaster MP3+
I'm trying to record the STEREO (not 5. or DTS) audio off a DVD I have, but it won't record or playback anything on either the SPDIF input or Wave/MIDI/CD input when selected. Everything else works fine (analog, line-in, etc.). Another thing I noticed is that all of the inputs seem to be connected to my built-in regular laptop microphone. When I press record in any .wav recording program, I can hear my voice/other background noise.

The issue I see with iTalk and similar iPod apps is that the iPod has no line-level input, so you'd have to use one of the earbud/microphone combinations or an external microphone like this one which will be limited as to quality. There are some other options here. But if you want pro quality, and particularly want to tap straight off of a mixing console, a device like the Alesis is going to be necessary, though there may be something less expensive that I can't find.
If a microphone works for you, then iTalk might be fine. There's a freeware version of iTalk, iTalk Lite, you can try, to see if it will do the job. It doesn't have the advanced playback controls and has a limit of 2MB per recording, but it should allow you to test it out. Voxie is another possibility.

TS3789 digital audio from apple tv not working

the digital audio output from my apple tv to my reciever was working initially. It is no longer working. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
Also make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of comments? You might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?

Best dock for sound system

I'm looking for either a dock or a/v cable that will give me the best sound from a high-powered serious sound system, not a "micro" system. I've tried a Belkin audio cable connected to my headphone (audio out) jack but the sound is unacceptable. Is the Apple Universal dock or Apple AV connection kit the way to go or something else. I have a Denon receiver pumping out 7 x 110 watts per channel.

i think i have the same denon, it's a 3805. Don't have an answer to your question though.

HT4437 How to stream audio from a Safari web site to Airport Express using Airplay?

I'm able to stream audio from iTunes to my Airport Express using Airplay, but I can't stream audio from SoundCloud.com or any other system audio (not in iTunes) to the Airport Express. It is my understanding that AirFoil can do the trick but I do not want to spend 25$ if there is another way to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Good you got it sorted!
I was wrong about one thing. Regardless of how I connect (e.g., wifi or Bluetooth), the Airplay icon in an Apple App turns orange when connected to a device, not blue as I mentioned above. This is probably why you see blue in the Youtube app.
OK, I am retracting all my posts about the airplay icon and it's color scheme.
Seems as if the airplay icon on the music app is orange, but the airplay icon on the podcast app is blue. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to these color schemes or their significance, so I am abandoning all further speculation.

Can I port Apple TV audio to RCA and retain audio from HDMI?

Odd situation: My Audio receiver only allows RCA Analog for the outdoor speakers and will allow, but will allow digital for indoor speakers. I want to get my mom an iPad so she can easily either play audio while outdoors (using the Red and White Analog) and at the same time have the Apple TV plugged into the HDMI receiver for indoor video viewing and listening to music.
What is the best way to transfer Optical into Analog (red and white)
Is it possible to switch from purely HDMI output (while watching video) to solely audio from the Optical port (which would be converted to Analog)
Can this be set up by me, but used very simply for a non-tech savvy woman?

no matter what then depending on the converter you use audio and video could very easy get out of sync

There is no audio output on my MBA in the system preferences-sound folder. Therefore no sound comes from my computer. At the same time this happened, any streaming video stopped playing after 11 seconds, as well as iTunes will not play any song. Help!?

Hello everyone.
i have a 15" MBA circa 2011 running Lion 10.7.5 and my sound has gone, There is a no sound circle on my volume display and in system preferences sound my options for output is empty. At the same time this happened I noticed 2 things: 1) itunes would not actually play any audio track and every video i streamed stopped after a few seconds (usually 11s) but not always.
I have tried following some tips I have found online like going into MIDI and fixing the problem there, restarting in safe mode. Resetting with PRAM (or something that sounds like that).
Does anyone have any insight on this? At this point i'm thinking it's time to reload Lion but I don't really know how to go about that without losing all of my files.
Please Help
Thanks
