Cannot map sound through it from another system?

I have two systems, the mac mini and a thinkpad notebook. I initially setup the mac speaker output to go to the input on my thinkpad dock, worked like a charm, I could hear both the sounds on the mac (itunes for instance) while still being able to hear sounds on my thinkpad when I'm working through the same speakers.
I just tried this in reverse as the family would like the mac to have sound when I'm out of the house with my laptop. It doesn't work.
When I am looking at the input for sound on the mac and I play a sound on the thinkpad the mac KNOWS the sound is being played, the input level shows it, but it just will not actually play it through the speakers.
What am I missing here? Sound does play from the mac through the speakers though.

Well, this worked and didn't work. It did pass sound through, but it always had an annoying "buzz" in the speakers, like a mic hooked up to an amp etc. Also, the sound wasn't clean and crisp, was kind of choppy I guess...Tried it even at the lowest levels I could set everything to, the buzz was always there and the sound just wasn't quite right.
Thanks for the suggestion though!
It's just too bad a mac can't do this natively and clean like my thinkpad does...on the thinkpad no buzz and sound is clear as a bell...Guess the family will just have to get use to plugging the speakers into the mac when I've taken my laptop with me and left for the day.

  • I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used a digital speaker

    I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used an external digital speaker.  Cannot seem to switch back to lap top speakers in my SYSTEM PREFERENCES...only showing DIGITAL out put option

    Hi there Lutostan,
    It sounds like you have disconnected the digital audio speakers from your MacBook Pro but all you have available in your audio settings. Take a look at this info from the following article named:
    Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
    If the Internal Speakers option does not appear in the Output tab and your computer is not a Mac Pro, check that Digital Out is present as in the image below:
    Confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
    Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
    If you do not see a red light, proceed to step 5.
    If the issues persist, contact Apple support for further troubleshooting assistance.

  • I cannot hear sound through my iMac Headphone port,

    I cannot hear sound through my iMac Headphone port, this is a very new computer. I can hear sound through the usb port of the device. How can this be fixed? Headphones are selected as an Output device.
    Please help in any way possible, it is becoming quite a concern as it was just working a matter of hours ago.

    usb does not carry audio at all it's a serial digital bus
    things one connect to usb which play audio act the role of being usb audio cards only 1 audio card can be active at the time so if you connect an usb audio card the internal audio card is muted
    this cause your headset to be muted
    disconnect the usb audio card and you will be able to use your headset
    if you wish to use a headset an an usb audio card at the same time the headset needs to be connected to the usb audio card

  • I cannot get sound to play from the internet when I hook it up to my TV via HDMI.

    Itunes plays but I cannot get sound from the internet to play. Please help!

    How old is your MBP? Some older MBPs don't support audio through HDMI, so you have to run a separate wire.
    If your MBP is fairly recent, visit System Preferences > Sound > Output and select the device corresponding to your TV. (In my case, it includes the brand name of the TV in the "Name" column and "HDMI" in the "Type" column.)

  • Assign User Task According to Hierarchy From Another System

    Hi all.
    I am new in Oracle BPM, I'm doing a  project where I have to perform a relatively simple approval workflow.
    My problem, is actually in associating people who should make approvals to set up reports.
    My BPM project is integrated with LDAP (AD - Active Directory), but the staff hierarchy is on another system.
    As I am very new in technology do not know the tools to implement the integration with other hierarchies system, I know it is possible to perform an integration via REST (which is what I need).
    I would like an opnion on how I can make this integration.
    An example of what I need:
         John - Operator of human resources    
         Mark - Manager of the Human Resources
    John will open admission report of a new Official, at the time that he send the request for approval, I will need to access this other system to know you're above it, in this case would MARK and send the Report for MARK.
    Could someone give me a help how to do this? Some steps or tips on how to find or which component used within the JDeveloper.
    I appreciate any and all help. Thank you for your attention

    Here is a post by Marcel van de Glind from AMIS on how this is done:  Humantask Assignment: Assignment via External Routing - AMIS Blog
    It's far better than any documentation I've ever seen on the subject.  He goes through how to do External Routing for human tasks step-by-step.  This would let you call your external system to determine the participant to assign the instance to.

  • VallueMapping update through HTTP from SAP system

    Good day everyone,
    For two weeks, I have been trying to send xml data from SAP to SAP PI through HTTP. The purpose of this interface is to update the Value Mapping entries in PI from SAP. I know, most of you might tell me to use ABAP proxies to make things more simple and easier. The reason why I did not use ABAP Proxy is because the SAP and SAP PI systems I'm using have different versions. I have SAP Netweaver 7.1 for my PI system and ECC 6.0 for my SAP. I believe it wouldn't be possible to use ABAP/JAVA proxies if the two systems are of different versions.
    Here is what I have so far. I created a program to send an HTTP request using an RFC Destination. I used my own UserName and Password in the logon details in the RFC Destination. I used service adapter_plain. Here is the complete URL: http://<host>:<port>/sap/xi/adapter_plain... . I created the necessary objects in Integration Directory and the HTTP sender program. Below, you will see a sample of my payload and the error message I got. Can anyone help me how I could fix this error?

    Of course this works.
    I use APAB proxies with SAP R/3 4.7 to send value mapping data to PI 7.1
    Copy the standard value mapping outbound interfaces to your own SWVC and genearate ABAP proxies for it.

  • Recovery onto hard drive from another system - Pavilion 790n

    This old computer was scrapped and hard drive is being used in another system. 
    I've decided to let the kids use it and have it up and running again, but used a hard disk from an old emachine computer - I thought I'd wiped it clean, but didn't remove the recovery partition
    The system installed Windows & drivers from this recovery partition and works decently, but all of the drivers etc. are the ones from the old emachine and none of the HP system specific drivers are installed. (I do not have the HP recovery disks)
    I'm not sure how much is missing as it has only been up and running for a few hours, but I know I don't have any of the dvd drivers. 
    Q1: Should I wipe the hard disk clean again and start fresh or can I add the drivers I need?
    Q2: How do I get every driver I need for this system? The page for this system shows none of the hardware drivers I need.  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=75924...

    Hello there SeeBryte!: why not look at your device manager then write down what you see there(it's a listing of all of your components in your PC then go either to www.google.com or www.bing.com there at either one there is a rectangle where you enter the name of each component after that you go to the website of whatever manufactureed the component
    & look for your drivers there.
    then I'd do the same to all your programs
    ultimately I'd buy a retail box of windows 7 or Vista & install it via the clean install (formats it to start over again)
    good luck
    hope this helps

  • Cannot get sound through my surround sound tv - only pictures - sound works fine through tv speakers - why is this?

    Apple TV is working for pictures and sound via my television speakers but I cannot get sound via my surround sound speakers with HDMI or an Optical Lead.
    Anyone care to advise me what I may have done wrong in the connections?

    If you have connected your TV by HDMI via your receiver and you get sound from your TV but not your receiver then the problem must lie within your receiver or its settings. Check the manual to ensure you have selected the correct settings for it.

  • PS3 Sound through Soundcard to Surround-System?

    Hey guys! I'm new here, my name is Daniel and I'm from Germany (so my English might not be as good as you wish ). I have the following problem:
    I want to connect my Playstation 3 to my PC-Speakers and use the soundcard as "decoder" for incoming digital signal.
    Then I want to pass the encoded signal through to my speakers (they are connected via Cinch, so it's an analog Speaker System) so that I'm able to enjoy 5. sound.
    Here is what I found out:
    I tried to connect my PS3 with an optical cable to my SoundBlaster X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Professional Series.
    It worked but the only thing I got was Stereo Sound. When I set the PS3 outgoing audio signal to DD/ DTS 5. encoding, I got no more sound.
    Is there any way to get 5. (DTS/ DD decoding) over the soundcard and give the sound out to my Teufel Concept G THX 7.? Is there maybe a software-decoder, which can be used to decode (as I know, the soundcard has no integrated decoder) the signal?
    I would be glad, if I get some help.
    Greetz, Daniel

    I had to connect my Apple TV directly to my home
    theater system with an optical cable to get past the
    problem. It looks like these Sharp TVs simply will
    not pass sound input from an HDMI cable through to
    the optical audio output.
    I have one of the new Sharp LC-32GP1U 1080p LCD sets, and I have exactly the same problem:
    Apple TV goes out via HDMI to TV; TV audio goes out via optical to Samsung receiver. The TV itself can play the audio, but the receiver cannot.
    However, my HD cable box also goes out to the TV via HDMI (and then out via optical to the receiver also), and the receiver plays that audio just fine. So, at least for me, it is not an issue of the Sharp TV refusing to pass along HDMI audio to the optical output.
    Is it possible that the Apple TV is the source of the problem? Maybe my receiver doesn't like the audio format (PCM? Dolby Digital?) the Apple TV sends?

  • Ideas in calling a non RFC enabled FM from another system

    Hi guys,
    I have a request to check the status of the background jobs in miscellaneous systems in the landscape. I'll probably use FM BP_FIND_JOBS_WITH_PROGRAM. The thing is this function is not Remote-Enabled and I need one which is. My idea was to create one RFC-enabled with more or less the same parameters, inside just calling the standard one. I'm not really convinced this is the best approach so that's why I'm asking: is there a better way to do this, any ideas?
    Best regards,
    George

    Function module BP_FIND_JOBS_WITH_PROGRAM either does not exist or is not RFC-enabled.
    No proxies for non RFC-enabled functions.
    Even if it was allowed, then I would have to find out how to consume web services from my ABAP report and everything... sounds interesting but as with all programs this needs to be delivered on time.

  • Cannot hear sound through headphones when running mainstage- Mackie 1220i interface
