Connecting my laptop to my stereo using the headphone jack

Hello support
I have a satellite U500 and I want to connect it to an external stereo with external speakers.
My questions:
1. Is my headphone output jack support digital sound to the stereo?
2. Which cable should I use to make such a connection which will really support digital sound?
3. Should I make any changes/tweaks in my control panel to accomplish the connection?
4. I would like to get any other information regarding my isssue.
Thanks Solly

Not possible. The only audio connection it has is ANALOG out. If you want to get Digital out you'll need to get an external Audio Card that supports Digital Audio Out.

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

HT201205 How can I connect to a bluetooth devise and use the head phones at the same time? I have a new ipod Touch (32GB)'and want to play through a stereo system using the headphone jack and connect to a blue tooth speaker in another room

How can I

Not possible, there is a physical switch inside the headphone port, when the headphone jack is plugged in the switch is open and disables the iPod speaker and Bluetooth networks. Cheers.

Use the headphone jack output and bluetooth at the same time

I am going to buy a blue-tooth headset for my 3GS.
Am I able to use the blue tooth mic and the headphone plug on the 3GS in the phone conversation?

Now I listen the music with the Ipod through headphone amplifier for better sound quality. The amplifier is plug into the dock port. I have to buy a bluetooth headset come with the 3.5mm jack. I want the sound output still from the headphone jack or line-out. The bluetooth headset work like a cordless mic. Also, the headphone amplifier still getting work.

Ever had the headphone jack go out on a netbook?

It happened to me on my eMachines emd250 Netbook I recently purchased about a month ago. The headphone jack went totally dead, but the laptop speakers still work and the headphone jack works as well.
I know I could have this fixed under a warranty, but this would leave me computer-less
The solution? A cheap $3 USB sound adapter I purchased off of a popular auction website solved my problem.
I do not notice any fluxuation in battery usage as a result of that USB sound adapter.
Lesson learned : Always buy something more expensive in the future

yes... the headphone jack was replaced by a third party.. I took it to a mobile phone repair shop near me. If all else fails I'm going to take it back there but I wanted to see if I could fix it by myself first.

The headphone jack on my iPad2 does not work

The headphone jack on my iPad2 does not work. I have tried plugging and unplugging the headset, resetting the device, and buying new headphones. None of these have worked. Any suggestions?

If you are too lazy to deal with the problem and just want to never use the headphone jack, buy one of these in line remotes instead

By default, your AirPort Express is using an internal DAC to convert the digital audio stream to analog when you connect an analog audio cable to it audio output port. You can; however, connect an external DAC to the same port using a optical digital cable and let the external DAC do the conversion for your stereo.

Check the documentation for the car audio system for device compatibility. A shuffle may not be compatible.
If the car audio system is able to use a regular USB flash drive connected to the USB port, you should just get an 8GB USB flash drive for $5-10, load it with your "car songs" and leave it connected to the car audio system, instead of constantly connecting and disconnecting an iPod.
If the car audio system has an aux. audio input mini-stereo jack, you can get something like this

and connect your shuffle's headphones jack to the car audio system. You can then use your shuffle to play through the car audio system.

Just connect the new iPod to your computer and setup the iPod via iTunes (instead of via wifi).

If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

It seems that you have used the AppleIDs to "Purchase" your devices, which marries the two for all time and eternity.
