Connect Ceiling Speakers to TV

I have two ceiling mounted speakers(pretty expensive but I do not know the brand) that I was able to plug directly into my TV with RCA cables.  I have a new TV that only has optical digital audio output.  What do I need to to do so I can get the sound working from the speakers again?

So your  speakers have  a built in amp ?

    Use the iOS7 Control Center to select AirPlay, and then, choose the appropriate AirPlay speaker to stream to.

  • How to connect external speakers to Satellite A100-451

    Hello,
    I have a Satellite A100-451 (UK) running Vista. I want to connect external speakers. There is a 'headphones' jack on the front (3.5mm jack I think), can I connect external speakers here? The speakers are 'PC Line' with their own power supply and also have a 3.5mm jack plug).
    Thanks
    KK

    You need the audio Line-out put and the headphone jack provides this output.
    In other words you can use this jack to connect the external speakers

  • Sound - My built speakers do not show in the output section in sound system preferences area only digital out hence unless I connect external speakers I have no sound - can anyone assist?

    on my IMac the internal speakers have ceased working - in the sound preferences area only digital out sound is there no internal speakers to choose so unless I connect external speakers I have no sound

    Hey Jack (woofman jack)
    Sounds like the micro switch inside the output jack that switches the audio from internal to external is stuck on external. Try plugging a set of buds, headphones or digital Toslink adapter in and out a few times to see if it will unstick the micro switch. You also might try jiggling a tooth pick around inside the audio output jack to see if that unsticks it? If not then you'll need to make an appointment at your Local Apple Store or Apple Service Provider and have the jack serviced.

    Hook the RCA cables to the audio out on your TV, then plug the cable from your speakers into it.

  • Connecting Yamaha Speakers/Monitors

    I have a Firewire 410 soundcard and the new IMAC. Does anyone know how to connect the speakers to the soundcard. What ports am I suppose to use? Also how can I have the speakers connected to the Firewire 410 and still have the Mac use those speakers for everything, such as Itunes and YouTube? Thanks a ton guys and girls!!

    yoyo,
    glad it worked out. i also have a $50.00 2.1 computer speaker system on my tower's line-out jack for when i'm web surfing & the site/page has video/audio and/or for the HD monitor/2nd display. i can turn it on w/ 1 button. so i have 2 sets of speakers on my DP G5 tower. the speakers on my MOTU 828 FW interface are Alesis M1 mkii & i have to turn ea. one on as well as the power strip that drives them, plus the 828, so they pretty much come on when i need them for serious work-FCP, DP4 & sometimes iTunes radio when i'm cleaning the house 'cause they can play louder than the 2.1 system(quicker tthan hoking up my MacBook to the home theatre system).
    p.s. if this solved your issue, please mark it as such, so that others who may have same issue will know. thanks.

  • Connecting external speakers

    i just got my macbook pro and a led cinema display. i have connected my Harman Kardon SoundSticks to the mbp with a rca jack and cannot see those speakers in the system preferences sound section. the internal speakers and the cinema display speakers show up. any suggestions?
    thanks.

    When you connect external speakers to your MacBook Pro, under Sound, they will still come up under Internal Speakers, but with the name 'Headphones' instead. Hope that clears any confusion up!
    Also, to switch between the display speakers and the Harmon/Kardon externals, just click the name (either Display Audio or Headphones)
    Cheers

  • Trouble connecting external speakers

    I'm connecting external speakers using RCA cables from the speakers to the headphone jack on my iMac. When I do so, under Preferences--->Sound--->Output, the "Internal Speakers" changes to "Digital Out" as I believe it should. However, I am getting no sound from the speakers (which work fine with other devices). The "Mute" button is not checked and I can't figure out what the problem is.
    I'm running 10.6.5 and the speakers are M-Audio Studiophile AV40.
    Any thoughts?

    The jack on the iMac is 1/8" mini stereo, I assume your "RCA cable" has that kind of plug on the end you plugged into your Mac's headphone out?
    Your AV40's are analog speakers, not digital. In +Preferences > Sound > Output+ it should say +Headphones > Built-In Output.+
    Sorry to ask a couple of simple questions, but
    1- did you plug into the headphone output or the line-in jack on your iMac?
    2- when you remove the plug, do the iMac internal speakers work?

    Hi Tom,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I experience no problems accessing my external speakers via iTunes/Airport Express. With that said:
    - have you tried resetting your Airport Express unit using the AirPort Admin Utility application in your Utility folder?
    - did you "repair permissions" via disk utility in your Utility folder after the 7.0.1 update.
    - confirming you updated Quicktime to 7.1.3.
    - confirming too there was no installation problem with iTunes 7, QT, or 7.0.1
    One other possibility is to move to the desktop your iTunes preference file (com.apple.itunes.plist) and restart iTunes.

  • CONNECTION OF SPEAKERS TO PAVILION 500 SERIES DESKTOP

    Just bought first desktop PC a Pavilion 500-312ns desktop that came with a Pavilion 22xi  monitor and all seemed fine until i realised that  the monitor has no speakers or  any options to do so .So my question is  how can i connect speakers to the desktop ?. Can i use cabled speakers  or would  Bluetooth or wireless be the better option ?.
       Now i understand that to some of you this may seem like a stupid question to  ask but i would appreciate any help or advice i receive .

    Hi,
    It does not have Bluetooth.
    (a) You can connect speakers using connectors at the back:
    Рис. 7: Back I/O ports
    1 - USB 2.0: 2
    2 - S/PDIF
    3 - VGA
    4 - DVI-D
    5 - LAN
    6 - USB 2.0: 2
    7 - USB 3.0: 2
    8 - Audio: Center/Subwoofer port (yellow orange)
    9 - Audio: Rear Speaker Out port (black)
    10 - Audio: Side Speaker Out port (gray)
    11 - Audio: Line In port (light blue)
    12 - Audio: Line Out port (lime)
    13 - Audio: Microphone port (pink)
    (b) Or you can connect using Bluetooth but you need to buy a Bluetooth USB dongle & your speaker MUST support BT:

    Regards.
    Updated: By the way, you still need more hardware to connect to speakers on the monitor because your computer does not have HDMI port.

  • How do I connect external speakers to my Mac?

    I have tried connecting Logitech speakers to my MacBook Air.  Using the speakers' USB plug  I have connected them to the Mac's USB port but no sound comes out. I believed these were simple plug-and-play products but I am wondering if that only applies to PCs.

    use the 1/8 mini jack to feed the speakers.
    OR go to system preferences > sounds > output   >   SELECT as needed

  • Connection monitor speakers to an iMac

    Hi there. Everytime i try connect my speakers to my iMac it makesa really annoying static noise from the speakers even when audio is playing through them. I never have this problem if i plug them into my macbook pro and also the same problem doesn't occur when I plug headphones into my iMac so I cant figure out where the problem could be coming from. Does anyone know how to solve this? such as getting a soundcard to turn the analogue signal into a digital one.
    Thanks.

    Do you possibly have the speaker system plugged into the same electrical outlet as the iMac? Sometimes you must isolate the two from one another on separate electrical circuits to eliminate this issue.

  • I have an Airport Express connected via optical toslink to a dac/amp in turn connected to speakers. When using iTunes I get message "no speakers connected to Airport Express" and audio sound has drop outs.

    Ok, if you are connecting the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to the existing wireless network, then the DSL in the next room is most likely a combination DSL modem and wireless router. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
    Although they may only be separated by a single wall, the building material used in that wall may be enough to prevent the AX from receving a "good" signal from the DSL router.
    Since I don't know what computing equipment you have available, please check out this AirPort User Tip: AirPort - Optimal Base Station Placement to see if you can get some SNR measurements at the location of your AX. To do this properly, you will want to power-off the AX and only get these measurements for the DSL router.

  • Can you use earphone jack and continue to use blue tooth connection to speakers like bose

    Can you use earphone jack and continue to use blue tooth connection to speakers like bose

    Hi,
    I'm a owner of the X-fi Elite Pro, and for me the headphone + speakers settings works very well. Just to be sure, you bought the X-Fi XtremeGamer Falalty Pro Series? and not the XtremeGamer Fatalty Champ Series or even the old regular X-Fi Fatalty? If so, I'm quite sure you need the I/O box with the 6.35 mm (/4 inch) steroe jack. My headphones are connected through the /4 inch jack on the Elite Pro unit and my 5. surround system through the X-Fi card's 3x /8? mini jack.
    I guess you have to buy the X-Fi I/O Dri've Upgrade Kit (or the Console Upgrade Kit) to use your headphones and speakes at he same time. I chose the Console because i couldn't li've with a thick and ugly digital cable sticking out in the front of my PC?
    Hope it helped!

  • Does anyone know how to connect wireless speakers with itunes through airplay?

    Does anyone know how to connect wireless speakers with itunes through airplay? I am not getting the airplay icon in itunes.

    JBL doesn't have any speakers called "Spiral" that I can find, but anyway, perhaps something in this Apple support article on AirPlay troubleshooting will help:
