Connecting speakers to Airport with "Triple Stereo Line-In"

Hi there...
I have been looking through the forums and so far havn't found anything to help me, so I thought I would try and post a subject myself...
I have been happily living with two speakers connected to Airport foor wireless connection through iTunes for the last year or so now but I have just realised we have an old, and rather fantastic, sound system that has been hidden away.
The only trouble is that it was originally for an old computer tower which has three stereo slots (im no good with terminology). Baisically, each end of the wire (which connects between the computer and the sound system) has 3 'plugs' - a green one, a yellow one and a black one. Airport, however, has only one slot... do you see my problem...! I can plug in the black one into airport and two of the 5 speakers work... but thats not good enough!!
I was wondering if anyone knew how to solve this??? Whether iit is buying a new cable or giving up on the iidea altogether!!
Any help wiill be much appreciated..
Thanks!
James

No, the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), like most Internet routers except the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), doesn't offer any audio capability.

  • Connecting speakers thru airport express

    I have airport express and want to play the same music as on my apple tv in another room. I plugged the speakers into airport express and clicked on multiple speakers but it does not work. Any clue?

    launch airport utility and enter manual setup for the express, then go to the music tab.
    is there a checkmark in the little box next to enable AirTunes ?

  • I have AirPort Extreme and cannot connect to the internet with a land line but the WiFi works

    I have an AirPort Extreme and have been using for several months successfully, but as of two weeks ago, the line that I have hooked up to my desktop no longer provides internet service, but the WiFi works fine for the I-Pad and I-Pod.
    I have checked with my service provider and my modem works successfully hooked up the the AirPort extreme or directly to the PC.  When I am hooked in from the modem directly to my PC, I have internet for my desktop, but of course no WiFi.
    If I connect the Modem to the Router and the router to my desktop, I have WiFi, but no internet service to my desktop.
    I have replaced the network cable but to no avail.
    Any suggestions?

    It appears that there may be something amiss with the Ethernet switch that is built-in the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) or its configuration settings may be incorrect. I assume that you also tried using the other LAN ports on the AEBSn and the outcome was the same ... no Internet access via a wired connection.
    One thing to try is to change the Ethernet adapter settings on the PC. It is possible that its current settings may be appropriate when connected directly to the Internet modem, but may be off for connecting to the AEBSn. If your PC's Ethernet adapter has options to control Speed, Duplex, & MTU, I would change these to the following respectively: 1000 Mbps, Full duplex, & 1500

  • J020dx Speakers only work with wiggling In-Line Audio

    I'm helping a friend who just recently purchased a j020dx HP 17" Envy Touchsmart system.  Out of the box, the speakers didn't appear to work -- to ensure everything was okay, we plugged some speakers into the in-line port -- as expected, the audio played without any issue.  When we pulled the cable out of the in-line port towards us, the speakers began playing without issue -- but if we tapped around the area of the in-line port, the speakers stopped again.
    What could be causing this? .. Loose connection? .. If so, is the audio part of the motherboard?  .. What steps should be taken to rectify?

  • The airport icon (upper right portion of the screen) says I am connected to my airport; but, I don't get the icon on the Itunes window (rectangle with a triangle at the bottom of it) that allows me to select the stereo that is connected to my airport?

    The airport icon (upper right portion of the screen) says I am connected to my airport; but, the Itunes window doesn't show the icon (rectangle with an arrow in it) that allows me to select the stereo system speakers that are attached to the airport.  What's up with that?

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • Hello, I have Iphone 5 with Itunes music, airport express, 2 stereo speakers. What else do I need to hear music on the speakers?

    Hello, I have Iphone 5 with Itunes music, airport express, 2 stereo speakers. What else do I need to hear music on the speakers?

    Hello ricsch,
    It sounds like you want to setup your Airport Express to Airplay music from your iPhone 5.  I found an article with steps to help you get this setup:
    Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network, exclusively for iTunes music
    AirPort Express used exclusively for AirPlay by setting it up in Client Mode.
    Choose this configuration if the computer containing your iTunes library may be out of direct range of the AirPort Express, but is within range of the Wi-Fi network.
    How to Set It Up
    Connect your AirPort Express to your home stereo or powered speakers.
    From your computer, join the wireless network. Use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar on a Mac. On a Windows-based computer, hold the pointer over the wireless connection icon until you see your AirPort network name (SSID), and choose it from the list if there are multiple networks available. Enter the network password, if necessary.
    Open iTunes on your computer and choose the AirPort Express(es) you wish to stream music through from the speakers pop-up menu in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window.
    I also recommend reviewing the sections titled "Some things you should know about AirPort Express with AirPlay" and "Things to consider before you begin" in the full article:
    Wi-Fi base stations: How to set up and configure AirPort Express for AirPlay and iTunes

  • Can I share my internet with my Ipad and simultaneously connect to a airport express that I use to remotely connect speakers?

    Can I share my internet from my Imac with my Ipad and simultaneously connect to a airport express that I use to remotely to connect speakers?
    The big problem that I'm having is that when internet sharing via the airport I can not simultaneously connect with my airport express.  It would be great to be able to share internet from my Imac so I can be using my Ipad and at the sametime have my wife use the airport express to stream music in a different room. It would be awesome to be able to have the ability to do both. Does anybody know how?

    Unless your iMac was made before 2006 (this forum is for old iMacs), you might get better assistance by posting in one of the following forum areas:

    I am trying to sync Go Rock TRMS03SR Bluetooth Portable 3D Surround Speakers with my Airport Express or iTunes So I can play Music in Multiple rooms. I have a WiFi network, my living room speakers are connected directly to Airport Express, so how can I get the wireless bluetooth speakers to play at the same time in my bedroom?

    Did you ever get this to work?  My guess is that the speakers are out of bluetooth range at that distance.

  • HP Laserjet USB Connection Does Not Work with Gigabit Airport Extreme

    I have set up my Airport Extreme Gigabit edition. It works well for wireless internet. BUT, I connected my HP Laserjet 1300 via a working USB cable, and it doesn't print properly at all. This Laserjet uses the HP Universal Drivers in Vista, which should work with the Extreme if anything should. I have set up and located the printer in Bonjour as instructed.
    With the PCL6 driver, I get one page that prints out portions of the test page text, but with most of it missing, and then a second page saying:
    PCL XL error
    Subsystem: KERNEL
    Error: UnsupportedProtocol
    Operator: 0x0
    Position: 0
    The PCL5 driver prints out "a" page, but the text comes out as solid black lines instead.
    I have tried turning the printer on and off, the router on and off, and deleting the printer and re-creating it in Bonjour, as suggested by Apple's technical support document. Nothing works. I have downloaded the latest Windows software and router firmware for this product, both of which were released recently. Same result. I also tried connecting my laptop via a Gigabit port instead of wirelessly to see if that would help. Nope.
    I have seen a few postings in other forums (not here) saying that the Airport Express (Gigabit) firmware has problems with HP printers connected via USB, which seems hard to believe given their ubiquity. If that is the case, I'd appreciate a straight answer from somebody on when it will be fixed. Some have suggested just using Ethernet, but I purchased this product (and therefore paid extra) for the USB print server, and expect to get that working.
    Thanks very much.

    I have an HP laserjet 4L with a usb adapter connected to the airport via a usb hub, and have had little trouble, except for last night it kept printing 1 partial page over and over. I printed multiple pages at once, I figured the printer just OD'd, after all its an old printer. I have one laptop that uses Vista, and its always giving me grief. Vista

  • How do I connect my Bose Cinemate GS Series ii speakers to Airport Express?

    How do I connect my Bose Cinemate GS Series ii speakers to Airport Express?

    You can connect the Bose to the AirPort Express with either a digital optical or analog audio cable. For best sound I would recommend the digital connection.
    Your Bose speakers should already come with a digital optical audio cable with TOSlink connectors on either end. Either get a 3.5 mm to TOSlink adapter for the end that you will connect to the Express' audio port or get another cable with a 3.5 mm connector on one end and a TOSlink connector on the other. An example could be seen here.

  • Problems connecting a second airport express to a stereo

    Since I moved to 10.5 i lost my connection to an airport express which I had connected to a stereo.
    I have an airport express base station which is working. How do I connect to the xpress at the stereo?

    You need to set your main base station (the one connected to cable or DSL modem) up for WDS first otherwise there's nothing to search for when you set your remote and relay stations.
    Make sure you have your base stations named so you can tell which one you are working with. I would unplug the second one when you set the first to help avoid this possible confusion.
    Go to the WDS tab in Airport Admin Utility and turn on WDS. Set the base station as being the "main base station."
    If you have your main base station working already this should be about all you need to set.
    For the second base station, you should Turn on WDS but set it as a remote. Relay is only necessary if you want to "chain" stations together to reach more distant areas.
    Click network tab and turn off distribute IP addresses if it is turned on. You do not need this as the main base station will take care of this. It should be turned on for the main station, but already is if it is working.
    On the internet tab, you can leave configure using DHCP on, but you do have the option to set the addresses manually. I would recommend using DHCP until you are more familiar with how to set this.

  • Problem having ATV (1G) audio play to Airport Express connected speakers

    I've had some difficulties trying to have my ATV (1st Gen) act as a jukebox and play its audio on speakers connected to an Airport Express. When I select the remote speakers on the ATV it attempts to connect to them, spins for a while, and then gives up. The same speakers work fine if I remotely connect to them from a Mac running iTunes instead. I'd really like to use this feature with the ATV since it is always on and I can control it from anywhere on my network using my iPhone.
    Anyone else having any success using the ATV to play to remote speakers?

    You are mistaken. The Apple TV (1st Gen) can stream music to an Airport Express over AirTunes. It is selectable in the ATV settings display, and in the Apple Remote iPhone application, and I've successfully done it before. However, it does not always connect to the speakers properly, whereas a Mac running iTunes has no problem.

  • ITunes 8 will not connect to my airport speakers

    I just upgraded to iTunes 8 and wanted to listen to my music with my speakers connected to my airport express card. iTunes states it can't connect and shows code -3256.
    What must I do?

    There are already two threads on the subject, I suggest you continue there.

    You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.

  • I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

    I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port).  I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive?  I don't have enough space to do that.

    How did you move the music to the external drive?  What exactly is on the drive?  The entire iTunes folder or only music?  If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier.  If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move.  iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507
