Connect PC to TV - video, but no au

I just got a new Sony Bravia 26 inch LCD HDTV KDL-26S3000. I used a DVI to HDMI cable to connect and got video. But the problem is the audio.
I bought a miniplug to miniplug audio cable and connected that
from my Creative Labs Audigy 2 sound card (line-in port) to my
tv, and there was still no sound. To be on the safe side, I unplugged it
from the Line In and plugged it into the microphone port, digital port,
and line out port, but none of them worked. So then, I bought a miniplug
to composite audio cable, and that didn't work, so I tried plugging it
into all the available ports, and still nothing. I get sound from my
computer speakers when I'm viewing the videos on the Sony Bravia, but no
sound come out of the TV speakers.
Finally, I plugged it into the Line In port on my old "generic" Realtek Sound Card, and it worked like a charm. I got sound on my tv speakers.
So, it works on my Realtek sound card, but not on my Creative Labs Audigy 2 sound card.
I tried reinstalling the drivers on the creative sound card, but that didn't make a difference. I tried unplugging my Logitech X-540 speakers, and that didn't help either.
Bottom line, I want to make it so that my Creative Labs sound card works with my TV, that way I won't have to go to control panel > sounds > and change the default sound device back and forth.

Good 2-way video but audio clear only 1-way

The problem is with audio during Mac-to-PC AV chats.
I'm using an iSight on a 15" PowerBook (10.3.9) with cable ISP (tested 356kbps up / 3mbps down). The PC is newer Dell running Windows XP with Quickcam Fusion and similar cable ISP performance.
The Mac and PC achieve good video and the PC receives good audio, but for some reason the Mac receives choppy, unusable audio and sometimes none at all.
We followed all of the posts to make sure correct ports are opened on both ends, that SP2 and extra component are installed on the PC, that the PC's mic records correctly, etc. Went through the tuning wizards, the full duplex settings, fiddling in/out volumes, echo cancellation, bit rates and cps, etc. -- all of the things recommended by EZJim's posts and the links therein, plus all of the ideas gleaned from Logitech and iVisit and anywhere else we could Google (but obviously we're missing something
First I tried iChat (2.1) to AIM (5.9) -- could not hear any audio at all from the PC.
Next I tried iVisit 3.4.3 -- audio was trying to get through but was heavily clipped.
Next, both parties connected to the iVisit Help Desk. The PC-PC connection was good for both audio and video. The help desk PC-Mac connection was good for video but once again the audio was too choppy to be intelligible.
I connected to the iChat user test account at appleu3test01 and achieved excellent video and the incoming audio was excellent too.
Using headphones to eliminate any potential feedback loop (even after trying with speaker volume way down) had negligible effect on Mac-PC connections.
Anyone else experience this problem? Any ideas? On the surface, the problem seems to be with how the PC sends audio or how the Mac receives it -- but I've overlooked the obvious before so...
I can give more specific details as to what we've tried. Appreciate any help!
Thanks -sailhome

EZ Jim -- thanks for staying with this -- I respect all the time and detail you are putting into helping.
     --- info still shows that you are using Mac OS X (10.3.6) ---
Sorry to confuse you. I'm definitely on 10.3.9. I don't post very often and hadn't updated my profile recently. (FWIW, I still have the iMac shown in the profile Anyhow, no 10.3.6 issues lurking.
     --- using wireless internet connections ---
I am using an Airport but it passes all the criteria. The Airport sits immediately behind the cable modem and the modem is not serving DHCP, only the Airport does that (no address conflicts). The Mac OS firewall is in place, but I have followed the instructions to open firewall ports per http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93208 -- in fact I opened all of 5060, 5190, 5297, 5298, 5353, 5678, 16384-16403 to make certain nothing gets blocked.
The computer is achieving 356kbps/3mbps wirelessly (dslreports) and has full bars in connection status. There have not been any packet error messages. The computer does not compete for bandwidth during AV sessions. I could hook the computer directly to the modem but given the high level of performance it does seem unlikely bandwidth is the problem.
     --- Connection Doctor ---
Here are three observations from recent sessions:
1) Using iChat-to-AIM the video quality stayed pegged at 100%, the frame rates hovered between 12-13fps, and the bit rates hovered at ~180kbps.
2) Using iChat-to-AIM the audio icon was dimmed, neither party heard audio and Connection Doctor showed zero audio activity. Audio simply not available. This is perplexing because previously the PC could hear my audio fine, it was just my Mac that couldn't hear their audio.
3) Using iVisit (I know you aren't familiar with it), video hovered at 25-30fps and bit rates hovered at 130-150kbps. Audio operated at a constant 32kbps (ADPCM setting). Bandwidth utilization was set to cap at 500kbps so there was plenty available had the application wanted it -- the point being that bandwidth does not appear to be a limiting factor in performance between the other party and myself.
It appears there is enough broadband speed for iChat
--- That is about all I know about "packets". You seem to know more about packets ---
Only enough to ask dangerous questions
     --- If the problem occurs only occasionally ---
I'll need to develop more AV buddies to reach a conclusion on that. My two buddy experiences with Mac-PC connection are consistent (bad audio). I'm in the process of making some Mac-based AV contacts -- would you be interested in testing a brief chat?
My Mac operates fine (no quirks), is up to date (on Panther), I do the repair permissions protocol before/after every software install, etc.
ISP connection is an interesting proposition -- but could that be the problem if video is running so smoothly both directions? I would think that if bandwidth were dodgy then video would fizzle out at least as quickly as audio (and probably faster since audio requires comparatively little bandwidth). Is there some sort of priority given to video when it comes to bandwidth utilization within the connection?
From what I have gleaned, for Mac-PC connections the only free apps that currently support full AV chats are iChat-AIM and iVisit, so doesn't appear there will be other apps to compare against unless we start spending more money.
     --- certain buddy problem ---
Checked out http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page15.html#CertainBuddy . That was interesting but none of matches my setup.
Maybe it's time to throw in the towel and try Skype simultaneously with one of the functioning video apps. Was hoping for simplicity but is seems we've gotten way beyond that with this one!...
Open to any more comments you (or anyone) have. Thanks again -sailhome

I have the mini display port cable to hdmi. When I connect I can get audio but on the video I get the display auro screen and can't get my actual display to show as that is not what shows on my display. How can I fix this?

System Preferences>Displays
There is a little white bar. When you have your TV connected, move the white bar to the other display. Your main desktop is now the TV screen

I just put Facetime on my MacBook and Ipad. I can connect and recieve video but no sound. The other person can hear me. If I use Skype everything works fine. I can't find any where in Facetime to change settings for the audio. Any suggestions

How do i get video from my sony hx100 digital camera to my mac? after connecting the camera via the supplied usb cable, iMovie shows icons for 5 videos, but none will load.

i've connected the camera to the mac using the supplied usb cable. imovie shows 5 icons for videos but all of them have the red circle with slash through them and the box to import them is grayed out.

Get a nice Sony miniDV camcorder. It is not too expensive; it is small and easy to carry around to shoot your video. Most importantly, it will be instantly compatible with iMovie. You don't have to install any software, just connect it via FireWire (Sony calls this iLink) and you are good to go!
I have had several Sonys and love them. You don't need one with fancy editing capabilities because you will edit your movies in iMovie. Just be sure that it has AV In and Out so you can import and export back to the camcorder.
My current version is the small DCR HC-26. There are newer versions of that HC-30something and 40something. Look at the specs on Sony's website
Some of them require the use of a dock to import and export. I am not really fond of that feature. I like just connecting directly to the camera.

ATV2 Connected with HDMI for video and fiber optics for Sound but unable to located the fiber optics option in ATV2

hello everyone, I currently have my ATV2 connected from HDMI to my TV for Audio&Video but I want to run just my HDMI for Video and my Fiber optics cable for my Sound. I am unable to locate in the settings where I can change my sound to Fiber optics output.
Thank you
Steve

ok so I figured it out.. I just needed to go into my surround sound and select optical out.

How to connect jpeg to timeline clip replacing video but keeping audio

I put some video in the project timeline and now I would like to connect several still pictures (jpeg) at specific points in this video so that you hear the sound from the video but only see the still image.
Connecting my jpeg to the clip in the timeline is not a problem. Once connected, however, the still picture only covers a part of the video (i.e. only the center part of the video) during playback. The jpeg is superimposed on the center part of the video, but the sides of the video still show up as played.
What i would like is for the jpeg to completely superimpose the video in the clip, but be able to listen to the audio story told by the video in the background .
I tried resizing the jpeg to 16:9 aspect ration before importing it, but this made no difference. I have also considered doing the connecting in the other direction, i.e. to place the jpeg into the primary timeline and connect the audio part of the video to the jpeg. This might work, but I would rather not do this because it would require adjusting the size of many video clips.
I am a novice, so any help would be much appreciated.
Francisco

Problem solved.
To a large extent the solution is illustrated here around minute 13:47 in this tutorial by Jerad Hill:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F-Y6iMdtQg&feature=related
Here it is suggested that you double click in the picture and zoom in and out to get the picture adjusted to take up the whole screen. This you do by opening the inspector, on the video tab, and the transform tool. You use the scale slider to increase or decrease the scale of your photograph (or connected video clip) so that it fits the screen.
I will leave this discussion posted just in case it helps someone else.

"RTMFP" connected to the FMS server,but may not play multicast video?

the question is,a client which can use "rtmfp" to connect to a FMS server,and the connecting success,Whether Can not guarantee that the client can play the Multicast video?
because the client may be behind a Special firewall ，So he may connect to the FMS server ,but can not use P2P to connect to the members those are in the group?
If the answer is "yes",Whether i should make a check function that make these client back to "RTMP"?

My MacBook will recognize my mini DVI to video but not to DVI

My set up is a apple brand mini dvi to dvi connected to a dvi to hdmi cable. It worked fine for the last six months connected to my HDTV.
The other day I hooked it up and my screen didn't flash like normal when you hook something into the mini dvi out. System Profiler didn't detect a display either. When I tried my mini dvi to Video everything worked fine (but looked awful). I concluded it was the mini dvi to dvi connector because nothing would happen when I connected it to my computer but the video one would always work.
So I went and bought another connector and it doesn't work either! Am I missing something here, what can I do?

See if the 10.5.8 update fixes the problem. It has been fixing display issues for others.

I received a message on my iPhone 4 that has a video attached to it. I "saved video" but don't know where. How do I find it and send it to mi MacBook Air?

It would have saved to your camera roll. Connect the phone to your Air via a USB cable and then run Image Capture which is located either in your Utilities folder or Other folder, depending on what version of Mac OS X your are running. You will then see all the photos and videos stored on your iPhone and can then download them.

Mom does not see my iChat video, but I see her, and my wife can see mine

When I iChat with Mom, I can see her, but she cannot see my iChat video. All she sees is herself as if she is still in iChat preview mode. Audio works fine. It is like a 1-way video chat with a 2-way audio chat, only we did not request this mode.
This was working for years (from when Mac OS X Panther first offered iChat video chats). Mom only seeing herself is a fairly new situation, but I can not pin down when it started, or what might have triggered it.
My wife can connect with my Mom, and again, my Mom's display stays in preview mode, but my wife can see my Mom, same as I see, only my wife is using her own MacBook Pro.
When I'm at Mom's using my MacBook, I can iChat with my wife. She can see me and I can see her. My wife and I can also successfully iChat video chat when she is away on business trips using the hotel's WiFi. I do not think it is my MacBook, nor my wife's MacBook Pro.
And also while at Mom's with my laptop right next to Mom's iMac G4 using a Bonjour local connection, I see what Mom is sending, but she stays in preview mode only seeing herself.
So I think I've eliminated the internet as a whole, and I've eliminated my MacBook as being the cause.
I really think it is Mom's iMac G4.
I've tried trashing all the iChat related .plist files, but I could have missed something.
Mom's Connection Doctor says it is getting stuff from me at between 13 and 15 frames/second, but all that is shown is her own iSight image.
Some configuration details:
o Mom's 1.25GHz G4 PowerPC iMac is Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11) all the latest updates.
o Mom uses the original firewire iSight.
o While I think I've eliminated the router, it is an 802.11n Airport Extreme (single transmitter in 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz mode, channel 1).
o Verizon DSL connection that has worked just fine in the past, beside same situation occurs when I'm sitting next to Mom using a Bonjour connection.
o Mom is 300 miles away, so I can not just drop in. However, I do have VNC access to Mom's system over an ssh tunnel.
o Firewall is Off
o My 2GHz intel Core 2 Duo white MacBook is Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8) all the latest updates (w/build-in iSight camera).
o My wife has an intel 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8) all the latest updates (w/build-in iSight camera).
o My router is also an 802.11n Airport Extreme (single transmitter in 802.11n 5GHz only mode), with an older flying saucer Airport Extreme 802.11g in bridge mode to support older Macs and iPod Touchs.
o My broadband is also a Verizon DSL connection.
o Firewall is Off.
Events that have happened recently. I'm not saying they are the cause, but generally things that did work do not stop working for no reason at all.
o I've applied Apple's Software Updates.
o I've experimented with TeamViewer.com as an alternative to VNC for remote control (this did not involve video, but it was something new to the mix). NOTE: I DO NOT keep TeamViewer running. I find my VNC via OSXvnc to be satisfactory.
o My nephew moved back in with his Mom (my sister) and his Dad, which is where my Mom happens to live. However, my nephew has his own 12" G4 PowerBook, so he does not need to mess with Mom's. But then again, years ago, I found my Mom's previous Bondi Blue iMac had its web server enabed after a visit from my nephew. Of course now he is a college gradate and much more responsible. Oh yea my nephew was a College Quarterback for a Top Ten College, and I'm a bookworm type. I am not going to accuse my nephew of doing something to his grandmother's iMac unless I have absolute proof
o At one time I had the Chax plug-in installed on Mom's iMac G4. I used Chax to uninstall itself.
I'm stumped. I've tried all the problem isolation things I could think of, as well as the tried and true "Delete the .plist" trick (assuming I found the right .plist(s)).
Has anyone actually lived through this, solve it for someone else, other.

I would do the Latest Combo Installer for the OS level she is at.
That is going to have to wait until after Thanksgiving.
While I'm confident that applying/re-applying the latest Combo Update will not cause any problems, if anything goes wrong (and I know Murphy personally), I will not be able to drive the 300 miles to Mom's house until the weekend following the Thanksgiving weekend.
If I'm going to try doing something like this remotely, I'm not going to do it unless I can get in the car and be a Mom's house the next morning to clean up any mess I create.
So I will put your idea in my "To Do" list (I'll even create a Google Calendar event), to try this 4-Dec-2009.
Thank you for the idea. If I have not found a solution before the 4th, I will install the Combo update.
But I do have a question. Why would Mom's iChat display the video preview window showing what her iSight camera sees, if she was unable to display the remote video stream, just because there was a ColorSpace issue. Hay, I write software for a living, so I know that the left hand does not need to know what the right hand is doing, not the big toe, the elbow, an ear, etc... Software is full of paradoxes. But I figured I would just ask.
And I'm still going to give the Combo update a try on 4-Dec-2009.
But in the mean time. Other suggestions would be appreciated.
Does anyone have a laundry list of .plist files I should try deleting? I did try deleting some obvious ones, but maybe I missed something important, or maybe there is one that does not say iChat, but is just as important.
You never know, if I get enough ideas (tons of ideas), and they all still fail, and I'm frustrated beyond belief, maybe I'll break down and get Mom a nice 27" iMac for Christmas! But if I do that, I'm getting one for me first

My iPhone was connected to my old laptop but that laptop is broken now i want to connect it to a new laptop but when i do that do i also lose all the application data?

Hello,
just to explain quikly how my situation is I bought an IPhone and connected it to my regular computer, a few weeks after that i bought an macbook because my old computer was having problems with all kinds of things. recently my old computer "died" and now i cant add any music to my IPhone unless i connect it to my macbook but it's saying it will delete everything on the IPhone and use this library but does it also delete all the application data? for a quik example. Angry birds do you lose your progress on it?
thank you for helping, Blackhounter

If you are saying that you didn't back up your old computer ever, especially when you knew it was failing, then you are out of luck; you cannot restore a backup that doesn't exist. However, you can probably save some of your content from the iPhone as follows:
Connect your iPhone to your new computer, but do not sync
Authorize iTunes on the new computer to your iTunes account
Go to the iTunes File menu and choose "Transfer purchases"
Click on the phone's name in iTunes and then click on the Info tab on the right
Set up apps on your computer to sync contact, notes and calendar to
Make sure there is at least one of each in the apps you have selected
Sync
You will still lose any non-iTunes music and videos, and any photos in the photo album (but you will not lose the camera roll).

Hi i am putting photos in my project it will play the videos but not the photos never had a problem before

hi i am putting photos in my project it will play the videos but not the photos i have not had a problem with this before

If you haven't tried re syncing the apps using iTunes..
Connect the iPad to your computer. Select it under Devices left side of the iTunes window. Select Apps from the menu, make sure the boxes next to those apps are selected then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.

I am trying to download a video on my Ipad 2 but it says my storage is full and to delete Photo or videos but i don't have any

I am trying to download a video on my Ipad 2 but it says my storage is full and to delete Photo or videos but i don't have any

Look at the capacity bar of the iPad in iTunes - at the bottom of the screen in the iTunes window while the iPad is connected to sync - and make sure that you do have enough space left on the device. If you do have nought space left - quit iTunes, restart the computer and restart the iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can also try a reset and see if that helps.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Connecting digital camera w/video output to ipod

can i view pics by connecting my digital camera with video output straight into my ipod?

Stephen,
I had posted a similar question here regarding downloading video from my digital camera. No replies, so I went to the Apple store today with my Sony DSC-H1 with a short video and a few photos on it. Had it hooked up through the "camera connector" accessory to the new iPod and everything was successfully downloaded to the iPod. The photos can be viewed on the iPod but the video is not in a format recognized by the iPod, so you can't review the video but the stored video can then be loaded onto your Mac for editing, etc.
A 1 gig Memory Stick for my camera costs $125.00 CDN, so for the price of 4 I can get 60 gigs of storage. SOLD!
