Connecting powered 5.1 speakers to an Audig

This should be an fairly simple question, assuming I wasn't so inept at audio stuff
I just picked up a relati'vely basic 5. speaker system from Kinyo. I used to have it's little brother 4. setup, which plugged into my Audigy 2 just fine. With this 5. setup, it's a whole different ballgame.
I'm mainly confused on what cables it came with, and what cables I need to make it work.
My old 4.'s sub had a 'Y' cord that was hardwired into the back, which essentially was the volume control and split off were green/black (front and back) cables. Those plugged right into my sound card (huray for color matching? lol...) just fine.
The issue is, this new sub has nothing like my old one did, as far as connections. In the back, it obvious has the jacks for the 4 speakers, and a central jack for the center speaker. The only other jacks are what confuse me. There are 4 'inputs', 2 red and 2 white (who knows which is front and which is back...) and then a G9 jack that is labeled as "5. Channel".
The G9 cable on the other end is split into 6, 2 red ends (labeled L and LS), 2 blue (labeled R and RS), one green (labeled C) and one brown (labeled W). This is what confuses the heck out of me :P Obviously this cable isn't going straight to my Audigy, I need to figure out what I can pick up, to make it (or use the 4 RCA inputs on the sub) all work together.
It also came with some RCA cords, one with red/white male plugs on both ends, and another with red/white plugs, but female on one end of the cord and male on the other. I assume these are how I'm going to plug it into the Audigy (using some sorta adapter), but which plugs on the audigy do they go into ?

It's the GZ-50 from Kinyo, unforunately their website doesn't have much for anything (kinyo.com) in the way of downloadable anything.
I tried to plug in the speakers via some mini jack > 2 RCA cords, which work... for the 4 speaks, not the sub though. The only way that can connect, is with this G9 Din cable, with the 6 ends I mentioned before. Could I use these minijack > 2 RCA cords with these ends maybe ? Plug the L and LS (left and left surround, it turns out thats what they are) and plug the minijack into line whatever, repeat with R and RS, and then center/sub ?

I need a docking station that will connect a printer and speakers

I have a set of powered 4.1 speakers and a printer that I want to use on my Macbook Pro. Is there a docking station that will connect all these devices to my Macbook pro?

Search Apple's online store and Apple retailer websites. Also, do a Google & Bing search.

Airport Express won't connect - Is it the speakers?

I have just bought a new iMac4 and bought an airport express at the same time. Despite connecting to my chosen speakers in the same room, the airport still only flashes amber. I've reset the modem, dowloaded new firmware, checked with my ISP whether it's wireless compatible (it is) and read through the various relevant topics in this forum plus used the help on the mac itself, but still can't get it to work. Could it be that the speakers aren't compatible? They are powered ACS90 speakers I used with my old pc.

It won't be the speakers.
Is it a cable modem?
If so blank it, leave it off for at least 30 minutes or even overnight before connecting the Airport to it.

I installed 10, iTunes no longer connects to airport Remote Speakers

Boy, this is real irritating. I just use iTunes to stream internet radio to my stereo. It was all working fine, then I updated to v10 and nothing works anymore.
BIG PROBLEM...the option to choose computer speakers or remote speakers DISAPPEARED. Well, it was there for a second after I ran iTunes 10 for the first time, then the option DISAPPEARED.
Heck, I even unistalled everything and went back to v9.2.1....But the same problem...ITS GONE!
Now even I can't get iTunes to even connect to my Airport Express at all to even play music on the computer speakers.
Grrrrrr. I was all bloody working till v10 came along!!!
BTW, I'm using Comodo firewall. It was all working before, like I said.

Well I uninstalled Comodo and turned on Windows firewall. I re-installed iTunes.
I went into firewall settings and iTunes was checked off (allowed) for both home & public networks. Didn't work. I saw Bonjour on there and just 'home' was checked off, so I checked off 'public' to see if it mattered.
It did work. iTunes connected to the remote speakers....but for some reason, only for a very short period, then I get a network error.
This is freaking unbelievable. It was all working fine till I stupidly updtated to 10. Grrrrrrrrr

I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth JBL speakers to my Macbook Pro but it isn't working. I can't seem to find Bluetooth Setup Assistant because I updated my laptop. What should I do?

Make sure you set the speakers as discoverable, which usually involves holding down a button for a few seconds. Go to System Preferences / Bluetooth and you should be able to add it.

Connecting TV and Computer Speakers at the same t

Hi,
I have a SB Li've Value and I wanted to connect my regular computer speakers as well as my TV to it.
I am using a mono plug to hook my computer speakers and my TV currently. Whenever I want output on my TV I have to unhook my computer speakers from the soundcard and plug in the mono plug from the TV.
Is there any possible that I do not have to do that and I can get output on both using the mono plugs.
Please help me out as I have looked al over the place and I cannot find an answer to this problem.

IPhone 3G wont stay connected/powered?

Hello,
I've an iPhone 3G (yes its old want an iphone 4 but can't afford one) I update it to the latest iOS in iTunes last night i have only just updated to iOS 4.2.1 i was running 3.x something however i updated it last night.
However since i have updated it my iPhone will no longer stay "connected/powered" when plugging into the wall charger it's fine on USB but don't wanna charge via USB in computer everytime.
I plug it into the wall charger it has the battery with the battery icon what appears when charging then it vibrate and disconnects and then vibrates twice and starts charging then it vibrate and disconnects ect.. over and over again.
What could this be? was fine till i updated to iOS 4.2.1 last night in iTunes.
What i've tried
- Restarting (off for 10mins then turning iphone back on)
- Tried other wall sockets around the house.
Device;
- iPhone 3G
- iOS 4.2.1
* The charger is the adapter with usb cable one that come with the iPhone when i brought it.
Edit;
found https://discussions.apple.com/message/12724318#12724318 also.

Ok, ive restored now...and the phone wouldnt connect to 3G, but this was before i set up as new iphone. So im doing that now in the hope that it will work after everything has been sorted...but im not holding much hope for it to work.
How annoying, i honestly wouldnt care half as much if there was an explination for it all...a reason. but there isnt, it just happened.
iv been intouch with my network provider to see if theres anything that can suggest....such as sending my phone away to apple. because im totally puzzled as to what is wrong and why its happening.
anyways, thank you VERY much for your help and your time.

Bluetooth Connectivity For Music With Speakers

I have altec Lansing bluetooth speakers.
They work with lots of old phones playing music over bluetooth.
I've unpaired and deleted all old pairings with the speakers.
My 8520 connects to the IMT525 speakers fine.
It even has sound WHEN MAKING A PHONE CALL But as soon as i try to play a music file there is no sound from the speakers.
Only sound on the phone itself.
I have tried to 'Activate IMT525' whilst in the media/music player. that gives no error BUT STILL NO MUSIC PLAYED on the speakers.
Is there some special bluetooth setting i need to make?
again to re-itterate...it all seems to work with no error messages...just no sound from PLAYING MUSIC ONLY

Connecting powered speakers for Airplay

My M-Audio DSM1 powered monitors have analog inputs (balanced XLR or quarter-inch TRS jack connectors) and digital inputs (AES-EBU and S/PDIF).
If I want to use an AppleTV for streaming music/radio to these speakers (I'm NOT using it with a television) to make an Airplay-based music/radio streaming setup which of the speaker's inputs would give me the best sound quality (or doesn't it matter?), and what cables or do I need to buy to connect the monitors to Apple's analog/digital audio minijack?

appletv work as airplay speakers not as a device which can use other airplay speakers
so no you can't

Can I use Express to connect multiple ceiling installed speakers?

I am remodeling my house and would like to put speakers in multiple rooms in my house. How would I go about doing this? Will I need to get an Express for each room in order to control when I want sound to come out of the speaker? If I want to put 2 speakers in the living room, how do I go about connecting both speakers to 1 Express station?

I agree, hook up the speakers to an amp and then connect the amp to the airport express. and yes, you'll need an airport express for each room.
while not as cool - and also not as buggy and probably cheaper and definitely more extensible - use wired connections. they're less susceptible to interference (google "airtunes drop out"). then you can get a controller that will let you turn on and off the music/tv/dvd/sound in any room you choose. if you're remodelling your house then i'm sure you're already tearing up the walls. i'd hate to set up my house(!) to use airtunes without a wired redundancy.
good luck, it sounds like you'll have fun when you're done fixing up the place.

ITunes 10.6.3.25 on ethernet connection loses airport express speakers but iPhone 4 airplay works

Hi,
I have started experiencing a problem this past week (Aug 2012) that I see sometimes reported here. When I run iTunes 10.6.3.25 on a Win7 machine that is connected by ethernet to my router, the airport express speakers would regularly disappear. I can always connect to these airport express via airplay from my iPhone 4. In fact when the airplay speakers disappear from iTunes on the ethernet-connected machine, I can reliably make them reappear by turning on the Music app on the iPhone. But after a while the airplay speakers would disappear again. On a Win7 laptop connected via wifi to the network the same version of iTunes seems so far not to exhibit the same problem.
Has anyone discovered what the underlying problem is or found a solution?

I ran into the specific problem in another thread. There are more than 100 connections from the apple TV's to iTunes. You can do a netstat -a (windows or Mac), and verify the problem. iTunes is smart enough to stop allowing more than 100 connections but stupid to allow the ATV to create so many connections.
Now for what you really want! Set all of your ATVs to wifi only. Even setting the iTunes host to wifi might help also. I think that wifi is more unreliable, and forces connections to drop, keeping the count under 100.
I also turned off ip v6. That could help you also. I originally had problems on a Mac mini, and built a windows 7 box to try to fix the problem. The wifi trick worked on both platforms. Several of us have bug reports into apple. I have a wired house also, and am very angry to NEED to use slow wifi to overcome this problem. The ATV gen 3 has been able to keep up with 1080p over wifi, so it doesn't hurt too much. What really hurts is spending over 40 hours troubleshooting this bug.

Win XP : problems for itune to connect the airport remote speakers

Hi there,
My config is iTunes installed on my PC, a Tecom wifi router and two airport express base stations connected to speakers in different rooms of my flat.
At first, iTunes has no problem for seeing the airport stations and the music goes well through the wifi.
After two or three days, the PC doesn't see the stations anymore in iTunes (they actually still show, but in gray) .
If I want them to be seen again, I need to close iTunes, go to "connexions", disconnect my PC from the network, connect again, run iTunes again, and then... it works !
That's a bit boring. As strange as it could be, the act of shuting down my PC every night and running it "fresh" every morning doesn't help.
Has any one any suggestion on how it could work better ?

Hello Deb Parks. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I'm not sure if, by product key, you mean the encryption password for your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station's (AEBSn) wireless network. Is your AEBSn's wireless network currently running encryption (WEP or WPA)? If so, temporarily disable it, and then, see if the PC can connect.

Connecting 5.1 desktop speakers directly to optical out on iMAC - how?

I have Logitech X-540 speakers
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speakersaudio/home_pcspeakers/devices/234&cl=us,en
I can only find external sound cards that hook through USB. Is there a way to connect the 3 colored cables (orange, green, black) from the Logitech speakers to some conversion cable or cable converter to connect to optical out on the back of the iMAC? I have read the forums and can't find much aside from connecting your iMAC to a home theater setup. Thanks!

Is it even possible to do optical out to 3 - 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo minijacks
on my 5.1 computer speakers?
Nope. The iMac's optical out is an AC-3 encoded digital feed, but your
speakers require six decoded analog signals. You need a 5.1 decoder --
something like FireWave, or a DolbyDigital receiver, or a speaker system
with a built-in decoder.

ITunes not connecting to AirTunes remote speakers after upgrade to 7.6.1

Hi
I've just noticed that iTunes is refusing to connect to my AirPort Express. Or rather, it's ignoring me when I ask it to connect; it's as if I didn't select the remote speakers at all. It is displaying them in the remote speakers menu, and allowing me even to bring up the "multiple speakers" option, but won't respond to me selecting them). It's only started doing this since the update to 7.6.1.
The problem is not with the AirPort unit; my partner's MacBook running 10.5.2 and iTunes 7.6 will connect to it happily (thankfully she hasn't updated to 7.6.1 yet).
Any suggestions? Has anyone else experienced this? Or is this simply a bug I need to report to the good people at Apple?
Thanks in advance.

Not working here either on v7.6.1.
Doesn't always find Airtunes speakers, works for a bit, then playback hangs at 0:00.
Quitting and restarting iTunes seems to get it (temporarily) working again.
Also, the iTunes volume control is broken - it plays at 100% volume regardless of volume setting and regardless of whether the "Disable iTunes volume control for remote speakers" option is checked.
All in all, a very poor release.
