Can I output sound from MBP via firewire or usb to DAC

I would like to output sound (iTunes) from my mid 2008 MBP to a digital to analog converter using either firewire or usb to play on my home stereo.
Is this possible and if so, could someone step me through how to accomplish this?
Regards,
Jim P.

This is posible, you need to do some reaearch to find out what will be the optimum converter that is compatible.  Off the the side of my head...I don't know. But it is doable.

    I am using iMac OS 10.7.2 with Garageband'11 6.0.4. I can't record sound from  mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB  appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and Preferences but I can't get no sound from mixer to iMac only sound from iMac to mixer. I only can record sound using microphone line in. Please help.

    Eric,
    Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
    The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
    I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
    When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
    I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.

  • Can't get sound from my midi channels

    Hello. I've been using Logic 8 for a while. 2 days ago I updated to the newest version 8.0.1 and after I did it, I can't get sound from my midi channels. Before the update I could use my Ivory pianos perfectly, but after the update I can't. I've tried every setup I can imagine. I've been here sitting for hours trying to fix it but I can't .
    Logic recognizes my keyboard, since I play...all the notes appear on the transport bar, but i can't get sound from any sampler (Ivory, EXS, EVP88, etc).
    I've checked my outputs, etc...but nothing.
    Please help me!!! I'm desperate!
    Thanks

    Do you hear the Audio tracks and only Software Instruments are not working od don't you get any output at all? I was just assuming that through the update your Apogee has been removed as your Audio device in Preferences->Audio->devices.

  • Dv-1015ea- no sound from TV via HDMI- solved

    hi guys
    i had a problem with sound from TV via HDMI from my DV5- 1015ea. i had gone through almost all the threads but the solution was pretty similar. here is how i solved it.
    i have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
    go to device manager and open Sound, video and game controllers
     it should bring IDT HD audio CODEC (or appropriate driver/device name,depending on your machine) and
    NIVIDIA HD audio (again dependent on your machine).
    now right click on each one in turn and just select update driver.
    after its done (dont restart your pc yet, even if it asks you to)
    right click on the speaker icon/ audio icon on right side of your task bar
    open playback devices
    a new playback device should be there, called something along the lines "NVIDIA HDMI output" which should have a tv icon next to it
    single click on it and select SET DEFAULT just under the icons in the window of playback devices.
    now try playing something on PC and you should be able to watch and hear from your tv.
    **this was done with hdmi connected to the TV and the tv should be displaying the same as your PC screen.

    You have your mute button on.  In Settings check to see if you have Lock Orientation checked or Mute checked on the right hand side.  If you have Mute checked, all you need to do is click the mute button above the volume control buttons on the upper right hand side of your iPad.  If you have Lock Orientation checked in settings, you double click your home button and the most recent apps will appear.  Swipe your finger to the right until the Mute icon appears on the left side.  Touch it and you will unmute system sounds.

  • Help I Can only hear sound from my juke b

    can anyone help me i think i screwed up my computers sound and i dont know how. I can only hear sound from musicmatch jukebox when i play a song. i cannot hear sounds from any of my games or othe applications. please help me!

    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, please contact Apple Support.

  • I can transfer pictures from my SD card when I don't have transfert it to my pc first. But why can't I transfer from pc via SD? I'm using Apple camera connection kit.

    I can transfer pictures from my SD card when I don't have transferred it to my pc first. But why can't I transfer from pc via SD and then into my iPad2? I'm using Apple camera connection kit.

    If you are adding the photos yourself, then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus their file extension i.e. in the same format as if your digital camera had written them.

  • External HDs not showing up on computer via firewire and usb

    All external hds do not show up on the computer via firewire or usb. I must have perfomed some updates with my hardware plugged in. Does anybody know how to get this fixed?

    Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work!
    First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
    Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
    If that did'nt work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours is the 10.3.9 Combo update. Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
    If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
    For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good!
    Good Luck!

    seems we could either buy a router or another printer....
    any other suggestions?
    Do the same thing your doing to get each computer on the Internet, one takes turns connecting the cable.
    If you want both computers on the Internet and printing at the same time, that's what a router is for.
    Just sub one of the PC's above for a printer and you see the idea how it all works.
    A Airport Express is Mac friendly method, but if you have computers that have no wireless capability then you will need a Airport Extreme for the Ethernet outports.
    You can also buy a third party router from the PC store, that works too, but it's a bit more complicated and you have to install your own firmware updates manually, no Airport Utility to do it for you. But you save money.
    The important thing is setting up the router securely, WPA and WEP are both cracked. New Mac's don't even support WEP encrypted because it's worthless and false security.
    What you want is:
    WPA(AES) Personal with two passwords, each 20+ random letter, number, symbol characters in length. One password is used for Internet access only the other for Admin router access only, this way a user can't crack the router.
    Turn off remote access, don't use hidden network or MAC Address filtering, no defense.
    The long passwords are needed to defeat brute force attacks using video card based software, this type of password will take thousands of years to crack.
    You can learn more about wireless networking online, have a local PC/Mac guy set you up.
    Your computers are much more secure behind a router than directly connected to Internet as the router is a dumb switch, like a large security guard, only allowing certain things to pass and beating down others who try.
    Also you don't wear out your Ethernet port like what your doing now connecting the cable all the time.
    Good Luck

  • How to get sound from MBP to TV through thunderbolt to HDMI cable?

    I have a Mid 2009 MBP and have been running it through to my Samsung TV for a while now via thunderbolt to HDMI but have only just wondered whether i can get the sound coming from my TV rather than the built in speakers on the macbook.
    I have tried going to System Preferences - Sound - Output. but there is no option for display sound or thunderbolt...... i suspect it's because i have a rather old macbook but it doesn't seem like an option that would only come on newer models.

    Don't worry about this post..... doesn't make sense. Mid 2009 models do not have thunderbolt ports nor do they support audio through HDMI : (
