Can't get USB powered external speakers to work...

I'm using Windows XP Pro, and for some reason, iTunes won't play through a pair of Logitech V-20 portable USB-powered speakers. I've checked all the settings I can think of, and everything seems to be set okay. If I use WMP, the sound goes through the speakers....and if I generate a computer sound (beep) through iTunes, it plays through the speakers. However, iTunes music is only playing through the laptop speakers. In fact, these speakers have a play/pause button that communicates with iTunes....and also previous track/next track buttons that also work with iTunes. If I plug different speakers into the headphone port, they work fine....and I didn't have this problem on a previous XP Pro computer when using iTunes (although I think it was an earlier version). I'm running the latest version of iTunes. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Can't get Behringer MS20 external speakers to work with Optical Audio Out

I have the MS20 (Just your basic digital audio monitors with analogue and digital inputs:both coaxial and optical) speakers hooked up to the optical output from my new Mac Pro and can't get any sound from them.
I've messed around with all the sound preferences in both the System Preferences and with iTunes and DVD player with no luck.
The speakers work fine with other digital equipment I have and there is a red light comming through the cable. The speakers instructions do specify that they are compatable with the SPDIF signal. Any ideas???

I've previously had trouble getting the sound output to swap over however I did manage to get it done. What I needed to do was to change the output, change the volume up & down via the keyboard, change the output back to the internals, change the volume up & down and so on and after the 2nd/third try the external output worked.

I cannot get my logitech external speakers to work

I cannot get my logitech speaker to work? They are new.

Hello there Salvatore,
It sounds like you are trying to use a set of either bluetooth speakers or speakers connected with a 3.5mm plug or digital out on the computer. If the latter, I would recommend you use the following article to help troubleshoot the issue:
OS X Mavericks: If you can’t hear sound from your speakers
If they are bluetooth, I would recommend this article instead:
OS X Mavericks: Set up Bluetooth audio devices
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Can't get my 4.1 speakers to work, only 2 channel stereo

I formated and restored my laptop because I thought I was having Vista issues but it turned out to be bad memory, so I replaced both sticks. Now I can't find any way for vista to enable my 4.1 speakers and I'm only getting sound from 2...and no subwoofer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several versions of the audio drivers but still no luck. I don't know if it's a vista issue or a driver issue or a hardware issue...I can't figure it out. Is there anyway to check if the 4.1 speakers are hooked up internally somewhere? Or does anyone have any other ideas what it might be?
Forgot to mention I have an X205.

Buzzing from my powered external speakers.

Im getting a lot of buzzing from my powered external speakers. This is new; everything is grounded. It seems to come in waves.Any ideas?

I had a similar problem last year when I bought my new Mac Mini. After lots of experimenting it turned out to be power line noise. A filtered power distribution strip cured it.

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?

I would try in oreder:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

External Speakers stopped working on Imac

External speakers stopped working. Verified speakers operating with Iphone. Checked that speakers plugged in correctly. Tried usual power cycling step. External speakers do not show up in sound preferences. Anyone with any advice?
Thanks,

If you unplug the speakers to the internal speakers work OK? If not try resetting the system PRAM see Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If they still don't work or if the internal works OK then look into the speaker plug. Do you see a red light? There is a switch inside the plug that detects the presents of a jack and sometimes it gets stuck or breaks entirely.
You could try gently using a non-conductive device (a toothpick is good) probing inside the plug to see if you can free the switch. Of course this could be harmful if done incorrectly. If the system is still under warranty you might want to take it to have it looked at.

External speakers stopped working when Yosemiti was down loaded

My external speakers stopped working when I downloaded Yosemiti! how can I remedy this?

Dunno what it has to do with Yosemite, but: press the alt/option key, while clicking on the speaker icon at the right hand top of your screen. This will show you all the sound inputs and outputs for your mac. Ensure that it is set to "Line Out" or "Digital out" (depending on your speaker's capabilities. Hopefully
that works

HT2845 can't get my apple magic mouse to work on my boot camp on my early 2011 macbook pro with latest Marveric OS

I can't get my apple magic mouse to work on my boot camp,running Windows 7 Ultimate on my early 2011 macbook pro with latest Marveric OS........ It works perfectly on the Apple ,

Not sure if this will help anyone, but I had trouble installing on 10.8.
I then found this particular support page:

Be patient with the download, it takes some time ... When it has downloaded, follow the install instructions. It works well.
I use the printer through usb but my wife uses wireless from her PC laptop.

Can't get Dolby and DTS options to work

Hi!
Could anyone help me with my new Sound Blaster Z soundcard. I can't get Dolby and DTS options to work with my optical cabel under Cinematic tab in Pro Studio. I've googled enough, tried basically everything. Cinematic tab was never greyed out from the beginning. It either gave me intense, very high pitch noice when you acticated Dolby or DTS options or now... giving error which states:
"The SPDIF-out (Sound Blaster Z) device is currently being used by another application. Please close any application that may be playing audio to this device and try again."
I've re-installed drivers numerous times, tried different Windows operating system (7 and 8.1). Speakers (Sound Blaster Z) is made as default device, other stuff is disabled. I seriously don't know what to do, I'm god **** frustrated, because apart from Cinematic tab not working the sound isn't that great compared to my integrated motherboard soundchip.
// If it matters my speakers are Edifier S530D

Hi Kimbie,
Are you able to play back mp3 audio tracks?
I'm suspecting you are trying to play back encoded content.
Do share more details here so that I can assist you further.

How do you get USB debugging for AIR iOS working?

How do you get USB debugging for AIR iOS working?
Here is my current configuration:
Flash Builder 4.6
Flex 4.6.0 (build 23201) with AIR 3.3 Beta and Flash 11.3 Beta playerglobal.swc (both merged in to the current Flex build)
Flex 4.6 release: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex-sdk-download.html
AIR 11.3 Beta: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplatformruntimes/air3-3/
Flash Player 11.3 Beta: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer11-3.html
I read through the Flash Player 11.3 and AIR 3.3 release notes (http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashplatformruntimes/shared/air3-3_flashplayer11-3 _p1_releasenotes.pdf) and this is all that is stated:
USB debugging for AIR iOS iOS developer can now connect directly? to the desktop via USB to debug mobile applications.
Every other feature seems to have a description of how to accomplish it other than USB debugging for AIR iOS.
Anyone else get this working?
The main reason I want to get this working is because our IT department is very strict on our firewalls and it is relatively hard to open the required ports to debug on our own devices through the network.

I've found one way of doing it using command-line on Windows. I'm sure someone will make it easier by building it into something like a FlashDevelop template soon.
Steps are...
1. Add a "-listen 7936" param to the packager. Something like, "adt -package -target -debug-interpreter .... -listen 7936". Install IPA on device.
2. Find out the handle of your iOS device by running "lib\aot\idb\idb -devices". In my case it is "2". Will look something like...
List of attached devices
Handle UUID
2 {your UUID here}
3. Forward the local_port to the remote_port for the device_handle. Something like "lib\aot\idb\idb -forward 7936 7936 2".
4. Start Flash Debugger in another command prompt from your FlexSDK directory. Something like "flexsdk\bin\fdb -p 7936".
5. Run your app.
6. Type the "(fdb) run" command in the debug command line.
7. May need to type "(fdb) continue".
Hope that helps.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. It came installed on my HP Desktop. I am can not get the warp text tool to work. It has worked in the past. Once I click warp text, the little window does not pop up, and if I try to do anything else after I click warp text, it wont let me. Just sounds the ding, alert, can still slightly navigate the program but can not use any other tools after clicking warp text. I just have to open task manager and close the program. not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I just need to uninstall and re install. Having trouble finding out how to uninstall and reinstall because the program came pre installed on my desktop.

It actually sounds like the warp text window is opening off screen.
Resetting the photoshop elements 10 preferences should fix it.
*Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after you start the launch of the photoshop elements 10 editor
*Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements setting file
*Press Yes
