Broadcasting Computer Audio over Telephone

I'm using a "Passcode Entry Operator Assisted Call" for an upcoming meeting. I've created the audio profile and have made sure it connects correctly (you can hear people talking on the phone through the speakers).
During this meeting we will be displaying a short video using one of the Connect pods. However, since people will be connected by phone they won't be able to hear this audio through their speakers (their speakers are muted, otherwise they would hear the same audio they hear on the phone with a slight delay).
Is it possible to broadcast the audio to the users connected by phone (other than instructing them to un-mute their speakers)? Is this a setting that I've overlooked?

When Conect sees that someone has joined a conference over the phone, it mutes the playback of the phone audio over the computer. Attendees should still be able to hear the audio of the video through their computer speakers. There is no built in method for getting the audio for media shared in the Share pod to broadcast over the phone, and this has been a long issue among many people using Connect and there is no easy resolution.
The only real solution that I know of is to use something like a THAT-2 device, http://amzn.com/B003D82WKC, to bridge the computer audio to a phone.

Above it should say "I am well aware of the ability to broadcast music from a Mac to remote speakers, but is there an audio interface which allows me to record from a microphone to Logic on my Mac Pro VIA WIFI", of course...

No screensaver or sleep when outputting audio over HDMI

I am using a Mac Mini i5 2.5 running 10.8.2. This is a new setup and I have tested it with a standard computer monitor and it works fine, however when I implement it in my home theater setup running into a Pioneer VSX-1325 receiver, which I use for my video and audio switching the screen saver will not turn on once I have played any audio over the HDMI (iTunes, Netflix... etc). From a cold boot the screen saver will boot up, until I trigger any sustained audio (non-system sounds) through the HDMI connection... This includes web based audio as well. Has anyone else experienced this? For this is a major issue as this display is connected to a plasma TV and I can not rely on my wife to always use a hot corner. I do not want any image persistence or burn-in on my display. I should add the the screensaver function will resume after a period of time when there is no audio being output.

Apparently this was an issue in Lion as well. Thread below, but can Apple fix this ASAP before I have a Plasma with burn-in?

Function Airport Express audio over speakers Features

I am having trouble with my Airport Extreme Base station (AEBS) and Airport Express (AE) and setting them up to play audio over powered speakers or stereo.
Any information would be helpful, as at this point It looks like I will be returning the AE to Apple.
The AE is set up by having it join an existing network, with a AEBS 802.11n as the main base.
Problems:
With iTunes, the play is sporadic and (as if a signal is being lost) and usually stops playing after a few minutes.
The distance between devices is less than 10 feet.
The play was less choppy by setting up the AE to receive directly from my laptop with no AEBS in between. However it appears to me that you are only able to be com=nnected to one wireless device at a time. In other words, I can be connected to the AEBS and internet, or be connected to the AE, but not both, unless they are set up as being server and client in same WDS.
I did try the Air Foil, and although it did play from other applications like Real player, it did nothing for the signal apparently cutting in and out. Its video player did not function at all, synchronized or not. It did play audio from iTnune downloaded video through Quicktime, but un synchronized.
My conclusion thus far is that either the AE I have is defective, or it simply is not capable of performing as advertised.
I am looking to hear if which of these scenarios is the more likely.
Not to rule out that I have some how set it up incorrectly, in which case correct instructions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dan

Thanks for the information.
I do wish it was simpler to get clear information about the real world efficacy of products. Before discussion forum, I asked 3 One to One people about how the AE would perform and phone support about what problem was.
I have determined that with my computer being closer to AEBS, the signal is lost less (and is acceptable) than when it is further away. It is interesting that in both instances the distance of computer from AEBS, is far less than the AEBS is from AE.
My 867 is starting to fall apart (literally many cracks developing) so I am looking at newer macbook pros. I am wondering, Is the performance of the airport card better at some point in the model progression of macbooks?

Playing desktop audio over Connect

When I attempt to play a local video or presentation through Desktop Sharing in Connect, participants are unable to hear the audio. Are there any solutions for playing the audio through Connect and having it output in the included Audio provider without having to set up a microphone?

The best answer is to use a tool that loads directly into the Connect room. Less bandwidth, better viewing experience and audio!
Screen sharing does just that, shares the image of your screen. I have heard of people just turning up their speakers or linking the audio out to the audio in jack on their computer to re-broadcast the audio from their presentation or video. That said, it is a broken experience, not only because the audio is seen as a separate piece from the visual, but if we are talking in video terms, screen sharing runs at about 3-5 Frames Per Second (FPS). Standard video runs between 15 and 30 FPS, so you are guaranteed to have a bad visual experience via screen sharing. On top of that many video playback tools (Windows Media Player, for one) have built in anti-piracy stuff that prevents you from capturing the video through a screen capture device. So there will be times that all your participants see is a black box.
So if you want to share video in a meeting room, convert the video to an FLV video. There are some free tools out there (http://www.media-convert.com) or for a little money you can get either the Sothink Video Encoder for Adobe Flash ($45) or the AVS Video converter 6 ($105-55 depending on the sale price). Either way you bring video into the Connect room.
As to the presentation side, I would recommend you use something like Adobe Presenter or Captivate, as that will allow you to convert your presentations to SWF (Flash) and import them into the Connect room.

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and all of a sudden they wont open and an error message comes up saying they were improperly downloaded or came in an email attach which is not the case

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open. I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case. Please advise

They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen. I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
doc.
The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted. OS is Windows 8

I had an iTunes account on an old computer with over 300 songs and I now have a MacBook Pro and when i signed into iTunes all the songs I had before were gone. How can I get my old songs back?

I had an iTunes account on an old computer with over 300 songs then when I updated my computer to the MacBook Pro it deleted all my songs when I signed into iTunes. Is there a way I can get those songs back?

Did you put the songs on the new computer?
You should copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but over 3 quarters of my music is missing.

I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but over 3 quarters of my music is missing. It seems that only the songs downloaded on itunes in the last 6 - 9 months have transferred. How can I get the rest of it to sync?

You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You will probably get better help by posting in the Using iPhone forum.

Audio over standard DVI HDMI?

What are the audio capabilities with the 1st 4 generations of MacBook Pros with standard full size DVI outputs when using a DVI to HDMI adapter?
I know that the mini display and thunderbolt ports support full quality 7.1 audio at 24bit 96KHz over HDMI (plug and play right out of the box to a surround receiver). What about the DVI machines? Can you at least get stereo audio thru the DVI port for basic TV/movie watching? Or is audio over HDMI only available starting on the 5th generation MacBook Pros?

Ehych is very correct.
On your $300 switch box, here is *one from MonoPrice* that is only $43!
I've purchased several cables & switch boxes from them - VERY good quality, price & shipping.

I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature: Problem Event Name:APPCRASH Application Name:lightroom.exe Application Version:3.4.1.10

I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature: Problem Event Name:APPCRASH Application Name:lightroom.exe Application Version:3.4.1.10

First thing to try is the latest version of Lightroom (currently 5.6). If it don't crash, then problem solved - upgrade.
If Lr5 won't run on your machine, then Lr4 instead.
If both Lr5 and Lr4 crash on your machine, then at least you know it's a not a Lightroom version problem but something wonked in your system.
If you can't figure out how to resolve the crash on the system you have, then it's time for a new system (or try another converter/editor app).
PS - A few things to try:
* After re-installing new version, if that doesn't fix it, then get rid of all Lightroom-related data files (rename them so they can be restored), in case problem is in Lr data file.
* Remove all non-essential hardware in case problem is hardware/driver.
* Startup up machine with minimal software services.
* If still no go, consider updating driver software, including mainboard drivers and/or bios firmware if need be.
* Of course run all the system hardware and software diagnostics you can - problem could be failing disk or ram..
* Check system event logs for any clues.
If you don't know how to do some of these things - ask.
Do not say "you've tried everything" unless you want a lecture - there is most definitely something you haven't tried. It's like when you can't find your car keys - you haven't looked everywhere - there is somewhere you haven't looked!
PS - Has Lightroom EVER worked on your machine? what's changed since then..
Good luck,
Rob

MBP Audio over Mini-Displayport

Hello
How do I tell if my MBP can support audio over mini-displayport?
I have purchased a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter but when I connect it to my TV I don't have the option in audio to choose the output over mini-displayport.
I don't know if it is the adapter I have purchased preventing it from working or if it is the laptop.
My MBP details are as follows:
Model Name:    MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:    MacBookPro5,1
Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:    2.53 GHz
Number Of Processors:    1
Total Number Of Cores:    2
L2 Cache:    6 MB
Memory:    4 GB
Bus Speed:    1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version:    MBP51.007E.B05
SMC Version (system):    1.33f8
Thanks
Ken

MBP's like your late-2008 model don't output audio through the mini-displayport — the first models to do so were introduced in April 2010.
You need an adapter like this:

or this:

The former carries 5.1-channel digital surround sound from the headphone port; the latter carries ordinary stereo from a USB port.

Audio over displayport?

I can't find an official apple response to this matter, does the new mac mini transmit an audio signal via it's new display port?
Display port does support audio, and display port to hdmi adaptors support audio, which means I could connect a mini to my hdmi tv and have the audio work properly.... IF the mac transmits audio over display port.
What's the word?

So if you connect the new LED display to the Mini with the only connector available on the monitor (i.e. the new mini displayport), how do you get audio into the monitor and be played through it's 2.1 sound system?
Surely, this must be done through the mini displayport?

785GT-E63 - Audio over HDMI

Hello All,
I couldn't find this info anywhere, and am hoping that folks here can assist me.
Does this board support audio over HDMI?
I would like to use this board in HTPC setup.
Thank You!!!

Hello!
Speaking of info. - Please describe your system in some detail, and do not forget to mention the specs of your PSU. There is a sticker on the PSU box.
Generally HDMI transports sound, yes.
Thanks for the reply.
My set-up is pretty simple.
Besides the new MB and CPU (which i got at a great deal on $115 for both) all the components are being recycled from other PCs.
MSI - 785GT-E63
Athlon II 630
2x512MB of DDR2 Ram
Thermaltake TR2 430W PSU
nMEDIAPC HTPC Case 6000B
Windows 7 Ultimate
1.5TB Segate HDD
2TB Hitachi HDD
Video capture card (don't know the specs)
I do not have a dedicated video card, and for my purposes i don't think i need one.
I would like this HTPC to output audio to a 5.1 channel system powered by Onkyo TX-SR507 Receiver through HDMI
This will be used to watch 720/1080p video downloads, brows pictures, basic online browsing and maybe convert some of my old family VHS videos.

P7NGM-digital : audio over HDMI ?

Hello,
I read elsewhere that for this board, P7NGM-digital, audio over HDMI was not possible ?
Is it true ?
As it is not working for me.

Problem solved. Uninstalled all windows updates and display drivers. Reinstalled windows updates in groups of no more than 5 at a time, restarting after each group. Installed latest Intel display driver, restarted. Works like a charm now.
