Audio Only Playback through Vizio M320SR TV

Hello Apple peoples,
I facing a small issue that I hope can get answered here, been looking around for an answer and have not had any luck in finding one.
I have the following
iPhone 4
Apple AV Cables
Vizio TV Model: M320SR (LCD/LED Wireless TV)
Now I know how to connect the cables so that I can play movies through my tv just fine.
My Issue is that I want to play my music through my TV but for some reason it wont just take audio only. If I'm playing music no sound will come through the tv. Although when I begin a video while still running music, In between the switch for a couple of seconds music will play then it will switch to the video.
From that what I understand is that the TV is not sending audio signal unless there is also a video signal along with it.
Does anyone know how to get around that so I can play just audio through the av cables to my TV?

Try System Preferences>Sound>Output and see what options you have there.

  • Video podcasts - no audio only playback

    Hi,
    I have the original iPhone and am a very active podcast user. Several of the podcasts I frequent are video format and it appears with the new 2.0 firmware the ability for audio only playback of video podcasts has been lost. It used to be that if you accessed a video podcast in iPod mode from More/Podcasts they would playback audio only. This was tremendously helpful as I often want to check email, surf Safari etc while listening to these podcasts. Now they will only playback in Video mode so if you navigate out of iPod mode to any other apps the podcast turns off. This was also helpful for saving battery life when walking around or unable to view the video.
    Is everyone else using 2.0 firmware experiencing this? Does this sound like bug or lost feature?
    Apple please fix/re-enable what was a great feature!
    I appreciate hearing from others.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    It seems to be doing the same on mine. I also used this feature and loved it. What's worse is that you can't turn off the screen with the sleep button, as that turns off the podcast playback too. So it seems you must be playing the video in order to hear it (wasting battery if your phone is in your pocket).
    I can only guess they removed it as people got confused over why their video podcast was playing back in audio only. Make it an option that we can choose at least, rather than reduce the functionality this way.
    PS. While I'm complaining, why is there still no "Shuffle by Album" option...

  • My ipod audio only coming through the right headphone whats wrong?, My ipod audio only coming through the right headphone whats wrong?

    Ive tried with mulitple headphones but my audio on my ipod is only coming through the right headphone. Whats wrong with my ipod? WIll I need to purchase another one?

    I don't know if this is a common issue: I bought an iphone from someone and notice that only the plug design of the stereo headphone that comes with it fits in its receptacle. I tried others that are generally for the same size but they can't go deep enough in the receptacle thus can't get any audio. One thing I noticed is that this iphone's receptacle is deeper in the device than usual, so any other plugs other than the one provided can't fit. I can't use my external speakers with it!!! I fail to understand this. All all iphones like this or is it a defect particular to mine? After all, my ipod touch doesn't have this issue! If anybody knows, please tell me.

  • Creative ITRIGUE 3800 - less than 1 month, only playback through two red connectors out back

    i have a Creative Itrigue 3800 system that i bought within 30 days. the only playback i get through these speakers are from the dual red outputs in back. yes that is correct, there are two red outputs going to one speaker. i cannot do a white and red hookup since the speaker connectors because of their mold will only fit on one manner in any case i am sure that only the two red connectors work, whether there should be two red's (and a set of 2 whites) per speaker i have no idea. what i do know is that i dont have the original boxes for the speakers and that they are less than month old. the receipt i do have. i'd love to know what i should do to fix this problem. i would love to hear from someone. i'd love to get these speakers to work somehow or take the corrective action. thanks
    btw i dont get any playback ever from the dual whites. just the dual reds (one speaker & bass seems to work though the bass isn't that great quality though i'd love to just have the speakers functional)

    How is it BBYs fault at all? All they are is a middle man. They didn't produce the faulty phone and trust that the vendors they partner with send them non faulty products.
    Because BBY realizes there are defective products they offer a 30 day window where BBY will deal with the headache of dealing with the manufacturer instead of the customer. After that the customer deals with the manufacturer if there is a problem.
    If the customer wants more peace of mind they offer extended warranties so you can deal with BBY only.
    I truly am sorry that you got a defective phone and hope it is fixed or properly taken care of. I just don't see how you can link it to BBY as its not their responsibility.

  • Audio only playback from a menu page

    Hello experts
    I want to have one menu page that plays back 12 separate audio files. My assets are encoded (ac3 audio from compressor) I have 12 buttons on my page, when I go to set the asset to that button the audio file doesn't show up in the list, but it is in my asset list and I can preview it. Does an audio only file have to have some sort of visual associated with it? Or can I have a menu page with 12 track kinda like a visual CD player?
    Help please!
    Brian

    Hi Brian - you need to have video involved somewhere on your disc. Without it you won't be able to build and format.
    What you can do is create a still image for each audio track and show that as the track is playing (drop it into the video timeline and stretch it to the end of the audio). You could also just use a piece of black slug if you don't want any visual.
    That way you can link your menu buttons to a track and just hear the resulting audio.

  • IPhone 4S audio only playing through my iPod dock

    My iPhone 4s audio is only working when I play it through an external device, such as an iPhone dock or the bluetooth output in my car, but it will not play audio through my external speakers or through a pair of headphone. Where the volume bar is at the bottom of the music app, it appears gray as if it is plugged into an external device when it is not. Hopefully someone can help!

    Hi MSavageXIV,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not hearing sound from your iPhone when using headphones, start with these troubleshooting steps:
    Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
    Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
    Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
    If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
    Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
    Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
    Try a different song or video.
    Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
    Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.
    If you do not hear sound from the built in speaker, try these steps:
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

  • Audio only comes through internal speaker

    I only hear audio through my internal speaker, and not through my Soundsticks when playback on timeline. Yes, I've checked the View>Video Out>Canvas Playback.
    I can hear iTunes and every other sound through my speakers, only when I switch to, or start up FCE HD do I only get this sound output.
    Help.

    Try System Preferences>Sound>Output and see what options you have there.

  • FCP audio only plays through computer speaker?

    I can not get FCP to play out through my audio interface for some reason. FCP only plays out of my iMac internal speaker. All other computer sounds are coming through the audio interface selected in system preferences (M-164UF Tascam Mixing board) except FCP. What am I doing wrong?

    Yup, there it is. I looked in five different places, but forgot to look here. That's the danger of being away from using FCP for a few months. You forget where all the buttons are. Thanks for answering my embarassingly dumb question.

  • Audio only coming through one ear

    Hi, my fifth generation iPod only has audio coming through one ear, and I know that this is an issue with the audio port, and the contact points wearing out. I know it is not my headphones, but is there any way to clean the points, or to replace the audio port without buying a whole new iPod?

    I believe I have the same problem with you guys but managed to get it solved.
    Firstly, I noticed the sound only came out from Right side of the headphone. Moreover, it only came out at maximum level which I cannot turn volume down. When I tried, I could only either have maximum level volume or mute (when turn volume lower to minimum).
    I tried taking the jack out half way.. and I had sound for both ears but still at max level.
    Then I searched here and found the suggestion for basic steps of 5R.. Reset, Retry, Reinstall, Restore.. (only remember 4 out of 5 here)
    Anyway, after my first try with 'Reset' -
    1) toggle 'hold' button to on and off position then
    2) hold both 'select' button and 'menu' button down at the same time for 6-10seconds.
    After I turned my ipod on again, I have volume in both ears and I can certainly adjust volume level now. This solves the problem for me.
    The only issue now is that I think I have louder volume on left ear than the right one this time but only slightly.
    Hope this works for you guys.

  • Is there a way to have audio only come through the optic cable and video come only through HDMI on Apple TV 3rd Gen?

    I currently have a digital optic cable hook up from my Apple TV 3 to my receiver and a HDMI hook up from my Apple TV 3to my flat screen. The audio is coming out of my TV speakers and receiver at the same time. I was wonder if there was a way to switch the audio output from the Apple TV 3 to the digital optic cable and only have video come out of the HDMI? I really only plan on using my receiver for the audio for my Apple TV 3. I know that I can just mute the TV but I wanted to know if there was a way to switch the feed. Thanks

    There is an option on my TV but if I do that I lose all my audio on the TV. I have 3 HDMI ports on my Flat Screen. One is for my cable, one is for my PS3 (BTW the PS3 has an option to switch the audio feed so it will come out of the digital optic cable and leave video for the HDMI), and the last one is for my Apple TV 3. If I switch to external speakers I will lose my audio for the cable. I was hoping there was a way to switch the audio feed on the Apple TV 3.

  • Audio port only plays through one speaker

    Hi i have a 2nd gen i pod touch and audio only come through the right speaker in my head phones i have used multiple head phones and the same problem occurs, ik its not the head phones bc they work fine when hooked up to any thing else.
    so i assume its the jack that has the problem.
    PLZ help ASAP

    If restoring the iPod t factory default via iTunes doe not solve the problem then it is very likely a hardware problem. This place will fix it for $58:

    Alternate is to use BT headphones.

  • RTMP Audio Only Streams and the BufferTrait

    I'm encountering and issue when trying to access the bufferTrait of an RTMP stream that is audio only.
    I can "getTrait" and it retrieves it, but when I try to adjust the bufferTime, it doesn't register any adjustments.
    We have a custom buffering to our video streams, and for video streams it is correctly adjusting the bufferTime, but for audio only running through the same custom plugin, no adjustments to the BufferTime are being made, and I can't find a way to increase the buffer.
    Is there is specific limitation on BufferTrait when dealing with Audio Only?
    Thanks,
    -Will

    Did you try creating  a BufferTrait  variable and then assigning to the variable.bufferTime the new value?
    Do you mind publishing your code to see if there is any problem with it, please.

  • No Audio Playback through External Speakers

    Audio Meters indicate audio is playing. Mute is not engaged. "Canvas Playback" is checked. Perhaps the problem is in the setup, where it indicates that "Playback Output Audio" is sent through Firewire DV. My speakers run through USB, not Firewire. However, the only way I can access setup is through "Easy Setup" which gives me no option to change audio output to anything other than firewire.

    The audio will not go out via USB. It will only go to the internal speakers or the speaker jack or go out via FireWire.

  • Windows audio playback through headphones

    For some reason, I am unable to isolate playback to headphones only while booted up in windows. when i boot to the mac os, no prob, but in windows, no matter what setting, the audio plays back through both the headphones and the speakers. Am I missing a setting somewhere? I have been all though the control panel and nadda.

    This is a known issue with Boot Camp and currently there is no solution.
