Connecting 2.0 speakers and heads

Hi there
Im having the connection blues with my newly aquired Audigy 2 ZS.
I want to have both my 2.0 speakers and headset (Headphones and mic) connected at the same time. What I WOULD prefer was to be able to connect the front speak/mic connections from the pc case to the soundboard, but that seems not to be possible at all.
Please correct me if Im wrong though
The alternati've is to connect the speakers to line out , the headphones to line out 2 and the mic to the mic in connector. But how do I then configure the software to put out the signal on both connectors?
Please help me, Im having the connection blues...
Cheers. Peter

Hi
Reading up on other posts on the same topic somewhat yielded that answer as well...
I cant say much else that Im really disapointed.
Most motherboards with onboard sound having the ability to do this out of the box, yet a very expensi've, apparently defacto standard, stand alone soundcard dont support this VERY basic feature?
Im in the market for something else then, sad sad product this is...
Cheers. Peter.
The standard basic feature is to use audio output device with the sound card. So what's wrong with that? Even with onboard sound, they have only output jack for device at the rear. If you are referring to the pc case front jack, you could always get the platinum version of the sound card to do the same too. Anyway, using splitter is the best and most easy way in my opinion too. Alternati'vely, you can set the speaker to 4/4. in setting. Connect the headphone to the lineout 2 on the card, go to eax console and enable stereo surround cmss.

    The Mac Pro can't drive speakers directly. You need powered speaker, ao an amplifier.

  • Problems with wired connection to external speakers - 8330 Curve

    I have a boombox and travel speakers I use with my 8330 curve. When I connect these to my 8330 with a 3.5mm cable (3 contacts, not 4) I get static between each song. I am guessing this has something to do with using a 3 contact male connector into the 4 contact female connector on my device. I understand the 4th contact is used for microphone on a headset, but I only want to connect to my speakers for music.
    Any thoughts on how I can connect to external speakers and eliminate the static? Is there a 3.5mm adapter that goes from a 4 contact male to a 3 contact female? Blackberry offers a 3.5 male to 2.5 female adapter which is not what I am looking for, plus I believe it is still 4 contacts so it would not resolve my static problem.
    I am hoping for a resolution without resorting to the Bluetooth gateway.
    Thanks!

    Unfortunatly, I can't help with the cabled connection static issue.  However, I'll plug the Gateway.  I have one and it's absolutely awesome.  It works flawlessly and I wouldn't trade it for a cable for anything.

  • Connecting speakers and headset together on Qosmio G30

    My question is, if it is possible to use two different audio out on Qosmio G30. It has two connectors, but seems to be connected together. I want to use my Qosmio with virtual DJ, one audio channel for speakers and one for preparing music (for headset). I want to have one music on speakers and one on headset for better mixing.
    Is this possible, or must I buy one more external audio card? Is this inside audio card two channels or not?
    Thanks

    Hello
    I have made follow test: Qosmio G30 connected to LCD TV. One headphone port connected to TV and second one to my headphones. On both sides I have had sound (the same music). After changing ports the sound was still there.
    I can say follow: You can hear just the same music on both ports at the same time but if you want to use two different things I think you must buy some external solution.

  • I have a B590 and have connected Dell desktop speakers w/subwoofer

    I have a B590 and have connected Dell desktop speakers w/subwoofer from my Dell Dimension PC to it. It works pretty well except I'll get a quick buzzing sound every now and then. Any suggestions?

    I should add...the buzzing occurs when playing music on YouTube....

  • I could plug in a jack connected to a receiver and listen to Pandora on outdoor speakers. Suddenly it stopped working; my iPhone works fine plugged in to the jack. I rec'd a replacement iPad which won't play using the jack. Any clue?

    Any idea on how to get the jack to work in the iPad? As I indicated in my question, the jack is connected to a receiver which is connected to outdoor speakers. The iPad worked well, allowing me to listen to Padora through the receiver. Suddenly the connection stopped working even though it works when plugged into my iPhone. I contacted Apple support who ended up sending me a replacement iPad. The jack does not work with the replacement iPad either! It still works with my iPhone. I am hoping someone "out there" can provide some insight that will get it all to work again. Thanks.

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

  • Is it possible to connect an iPod touch to usual speakers and stream music?

    i like the new airplay features but i'd apreciate if there was any way to connect my iPod touch 4G to my cheap Logitech Speekers and use my iTunes to select the music i wanna listen to with the speakers. Is that possible?

  • 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.

    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.

  • Connect an ipod to external speakers and amplifer

    how can i connect an ipod to external speakers and amplifer

    Rex,
    Since the toslink is optical, the 3.5mm adapter will not work for you as it is only ment as a conversion to a mini-toslink cable. Your first option of using the DAC, is in my opinion the best and perhaps only way to get audio out without going to a fancy amp or tuner first.
    One option that I'm considering is the Bose Solo TV sound system. It might set you back about 4-Grant's, but I generally enjoy the sound of bose for most music/tv/movie purposes; and it has a direct optical audio input that you can run either from your tv or your ATV. Whatever audio you're sending to your TV via the HDMI, should go to these speakers through your HDTV's toslink output with equal digital clarity.
    I've read a few other posts on the apple discussion forum which lead me to believe that the optical output of the ATV might not work so well after the 5.2 update... so whatever I do, it won't be JUST for use with the ATV.

  • I find there is a slight delay between my macbook speakers and external speakers connected via Airport Express.  Is there a way to rectify this?  Thanks!

    Music plays out of sync between my computer speakers and externally connected throught Airport Express speakers.

    Unfortunately, I don't have either a Slingbox or iHome speakers so I won't be able to reproduce any of the issues you are having. With the fact that you live in large apartment complex would still lead me to believe that Wi-Fi interference may be the reason that you are having streaming issues.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

  • In osx 10.8.2, how do I maintain two Bluetooth devices (mouse and head-set) connected at the same time?

    I want to use both a Bluetooth mouse and head-set at the same time, is that possible?

    Thank PapaSmurf (?)
    My problem was that in Sound settings was not indicated the Head-Set device, although existing, but BoomDevice, that greatly enhances the sound level. So what I had to do was first change from BoomDevice to the Head-Set, and then I changed down to Internal speaker and then again chose BoomDevice. That way, I could turn off the Head-Set without getting the error message, and yet maintain the internal speaker through the BoomDevice.
    I had a feeling that I had to do something with the sound settings and your reply made me experiment and succeed! Thanks once again!

  • Speakers and Printer

    I have Harmon Kardon Speakers (has a subwoofer and two tower speakers. The subwoofer connects to the wall, which powers the towers. The towers are connected to the subwoofer. The line coming out of the sub is a connector that plugs into the headphone jack on my computer.), and i just purchased AirPort Express. However, when i try to play my music through my speakers when i connect them to my AirPort Express, they will not work. Im using the cable that is permanently connected to the speakers (which i connect to my computer through the head phone jack). On the side of the box apple wrote: "3.5-mm audio connector with support for analog stereo and optical digital audio". Doi need to purchase this inorder to play my music?
    Also, for the printer. I have an HP Deskjet 5740 which refuses to set up wireless connection, more over, my computer doesnt even recognize it as a wireless printer
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    A possible solution to the lack of music:
    Launch iTunes, go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced.
    On this tab, Check the box - "Look for remote speaker connected with AirTunes"
    Then to select them, you should have a little drop down box in the bottom bar of the iTunes window, select your Express and it should work.

  • ITunes 8: I can no longer connect to remote speakers via Airport Express

    Cannot connect to my remote speakers, worked before iTunes 8"

    My G4 PowerBook running an earlier version of iTunes connects without problem.

    I just got off a 30+ minute phone call with an Apple Support rep about this. I'm getting error -3256. The rep was patient and tried hard to solve the problem, but was basically clueless. I have a case number and was encouraged to call back tomorrow to speak with a product support specialist.
    This stinks. AirTunes is my primary way of playing music from my computer. With no obvious way of rolling back to iTunes 7, this is a big deal.
