Connecting Yamaha Speakers/Monitors

I have a Firewire 410 soundcard and the new IMAC. Does anyone know how to connect the speakers to the soundcard. What ports am I suppose to use? Also how can I have the speakers connected to the Firewire 410 and still have the Mac use those speakers for everything, such as Itunes and YouTube? Thanks a ton guys and girls!!

yoyo,
glad it worked out. i also have a $50.00 2.1 computer speaker system on my tower's line-out jack for when i'm web surfing & the site/page has video/audio and/or for the HD monitor/2nd display. i can turn it on w/ 1 button. so i have 2 sets of speakers on my DP G5 tower. the speakers on my MOTU 828 FW interface are Alesis M1 mkii & i have to turn ea. one on as well as the power strip that drives them, plus the 828, so they pretty much come on when i need them for serious work-FCP, DP4 & sometimes iTunes radio when i'm cleaning the house 'cause they can play louder than the 2.1 system(quicker tthan hoking up my MacBook to the home theatre system).
p.s. if this solved your issue, please mark it as such, so that others who may have same issue will know. thanks.

  • Connecting HP w1907v Monitor speakers to HP Pavilion a6430.uk

    I cannot get the correct speaker connection from the monitor to the tower and therefore have no sound available to me.
    Can anybody help, please?

    1) What video cable are you using from the computer to the monitor?
    If it's an HDMI cable then the sound should go through that cable.
    In this case there's no need to have the green audio cable from lcd to monitor connected, only the HDMI (black).
    If the HDMI cable is used then make sure that the "Realtek HDMI output" is the default playback device. 
    You can check this by rightclicking on the white speakers on the bottom right corner of your screen next to the time and select Playback Devices. 
    Make sure the the Realtek HDMI output has a green checkmark. If it does then it should be fine, but if it doesn't, rightclick on it and select "set as default device".
    Be sure to disconnect the audio cabel with the green color at the end from the lcd if you're going to the HDMI cable.
    2) If you're using a VGA (blue)or DVI (white) cable for video then you must plug in the thin audio cable that came with your monitor to get sound.
    The cable is green at one or both ends and goes in the back of the lcd and in the back of the computer in the round "doughnut shaped" color coated port. That's for front audio out.
    It won't work in any of the other ports.
    NOTE: You can also connect the audio cable to the front of the pc in the headphone jack instead if you want.
    If the green audio cable is used then you have to make sure that"Speakers" is the default playback device in the sound options.
    You can check this by rightclicking on the white speakers on the bottom right corner of your screen next to the time and select Playback Devices. 
    Make sure the the Speakers has a green checkmark. If it does then it should be fine, but if it doesn't, rightclick on it and select "set as default device".
    Hope this helps and sorry for the long post.

  • When connected to lg monitor with hdmi cable i get no sound

    when connected to lg monitor with hdmi cable i get no sound

    The issue here is that HDMI cables, as the name indicates, carry audio signals to the monitor. Therefore if the monitor has no built in speakers then there will be no sound. If you have external speakers you can plug them into the audio out slot on the back of the monitor and the problem will be solved. 
    However, if the screen does have built in speakers you need to go Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Manage Audio Devices and set either your headphone jack or the screen to be the default device. And then you ca pick which device the sound will play from. Either yourlaptop speakers or whateer speakers are plugged into the laptop or the Monitor and whatever speakers are plugged into the monitor

  • Connecting a Video Monitor to a G5- how?

    I need your some help to understand how to CONNECT the following components of my DV system:
    1) a Macintosh G5 (the video card has both ADC and DVI connectors) with Final Cut Studio software and a 23" Studio Display (DVI);
    2) a Sony Digital Video Cassette Recorder (GV-D1000E PAL);
    3) a Canopus Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADVC-110);
    4) a Trinitron video monitor (PVM-14N1E).
    I have posted a web page which shows the various connectors on items #2, 3, and 4 (above):
    http://www.johnhlincoln.com/PVM/
    The problem is really with the video monitor, which has both S-video and BNC connectors. Please look at the web page, and give me your advice about how to connect it to the G5.
    I may need a particular video card and/or cable, to connect the video monitor.
    Thanks In Advance.

    simplest configuration:
    use a 6pin to 4 pin firewire cable to connect the GV-D1000E DV port to one of your G5's firewire ports
    use a S-Video cable to connect the GV-D1000E's PAL "S-Video Out" to the PVM's Line A "Y/C IN"
    monitor the audio through the GV-D1000E's speakers and/or use a dual phono to single phono jack (2 jacks one end, 1 jack the other) and connect the GV-D1000E's L&R audio outs to the PVM's Line A "AUDIO IN"
    you don't need the canopus converter, the GV-D1000E already does that through its A/V and S-Video inputs

  • Connecting "regular" speakers to MacPro

    Okay, I had a G4 Mirrored door that I used a Griffin ProSpeaker Breakout adapter to connect my Tannoy monitors using regular speaker wire. With its internal amp, this was a great way to take advantage of the G4. Anybody know if the new MacPro has the same capability?
    I know there's no pro audio port, but is there another way to connect without an external amp? I love my Tannoy's and don't just want to use "computer" speakers. Any help would be much appreciated.

    What you need really depends on your intended use: tracking, mixing, movies, games, digital music, hooking up other external peripherals like phonographs, filling a small office with sound, stereo in your living room. The setup and speakers you pick can be selected based on these applications.
    The best computer speakers I used for years were Microsoft DSS 80 (they were made by Philips). I outgrew these and wanted better sound at medium volumes (a lot of speakers you have to crank up for them to sound good). So, now I'm putting together something like: McIntosh Mac-3, Adcom GDD-1, or Sony ES line processor --> through an Adcom amp --> to power a set of B&W speakers. For me, I work rediculous hours, listen to music constantly, and am looking for specific tech specs that match the optical output of the Mac Pro. Those decoders are basically surround sound processors, but I'm planning to use them for their DAC and pre-amp capability for stereo without having all the other electronic internals found in normal receivers. You have to really dig in and research this though if you go the specialized components route. You can spend a lot of money only to find out things like Adcom's GDD-1 doesn't support a subwoofer in stereo mode, or the frequency range of all equipment is great except one of the components which puts a weak link in the chain rendering everything pretty much worthless if you overspend on it.
    Getting any external receiver that has a built-in amp will work for 99% general purpose use (the consumer stuff from Best Buy and Crutchfield). Output from the Mac mini-jack to RCA, or if it has an optical input going from the Mac Pro via toslink to the receiver and speakers will be more than adequate.
    If you are doing pro-audio look at external Firewire interfaces so you have a better multi-channel sound card + inputs + monitoring. Pro audio is way different than "high-end" stereo, so I'd steer clear of what I was recommending above and look at the gear vendors recommended already: Sweetwater, etc.
    For all around general purpose computer/MP3/gaming, the Logitech Z computer speakers are extremely popular. They have a dolby surround decoder + 5.1 setup. I have not heard these, but they are supposedly pretty good for gaming and give you Dolby Digital surround capability.
    Last, if you decide you want to splurge on high-end equipment: listen with your ears, not your wallet!

  • Using iPod A/V Cable to connect to speakers...

    Can you use the iPod A/V cable to connect a MacBook to speakers or is the cable designed to be used only with the iPod? I've tried doing this twice with two different sets of speakers and there is sound coming through the speakers, but it sounds like the music is coming from far away or as if it's being muffled by something. Should I just buy a regular A/V cable if I want to connect my MacBook to a pair of speakers or is there a special cable specifically for MacBooks that I should buy?
    Macbook 1.83 GhZ   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    1. Check to see if your Monitor is set to Digital Input.
    2. Try a different DVI cable.
    3. Take the Mac Mini back to the Apple Store or Apple Retailer and have them assist you in getting it connected to your Monitor.
    Additionally, you have 90 days free phone support with the standard warranty or three years if you have Apple Care.

  • CONNECTION OF SPEAKERS TO PAVILION 500 SERIES DESKTOP

    Just bought first desktop PC a Pavilion 500-312ns desktop that came with a Pavilion 22xi  monitor and all seemed fine until i realised that  the monitor has no speakers or  any options to do so .So my question is  how can i connect speakers to the desktop ?. Can i use cabled speakers  or would  Bluetooth or wireless be the better option ?.
       Now i understand that to some of you this may seem like a stupid question to  ask but i would appreciate any help or advice i receive .

    Hi,
    It does not have Bluetooth.
    (a) You can connect speakers using connectors at the back:
    Рис. 7: Back I/O ports
    1 - USB 2.0: 2
    2 - S/PDIF
    3 - VGA
    4 - DVI-D
    5 - LAN
    6 - USB 2.0: 2
    7 - USB 3.0: 2
    8 - Audio: Center/Subwoofer port (yellow orange)
    9 - Audio: Rear Speaker Out port (black)
    10 - Audio: Side Speaker Out port (gray)
    11 - Audio: Line In port (light blue)
    12 - Audio: Line Out port (lime)
    13 - Audio: Microphone port (pink)
    (b) Or you can connect using Bluetooth but you need to buy a Bluetooth USB dongle & your speaker MUST support BT:

    Updated: By the way, you still need more hardware to connect to speakers on the monitor because your computer does not have HDMI port.

  • How should I connect yamaha HS50m to macbook pro

    how should I connect yamaha HS50m to macbook pro? Does macbook pro with i7 processored have an enough sound card for yamaha studio monitors?or will I need an external sound card or mixer?

    Some mikes have sufficient output to connect to this port, Alexey, but most don't. the solution, if you really want to use this particular mic, is to obtain a small battery or mains powered pre-amplifier to connect between the microphone and the line -in input. Alternatively there are devices which will allow you to connect your existing mic through the USB port. If you have an amplifier with a mic input already you could also use this as an intermediary, though it won't be very portable, of course!
    You may find it cheaper to simply buy either a USB or "line level" mic, though.

  • Possible to connect an external monitor to HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

    I have a HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC model # A1M02AV and it has a VGA port, one that looks like a phone/broadband cable port, and one that looks like a USB port but indented on either side at the bottom. Can I even connect an external monitor? How do I find out if I have more than 1 video card? Besides the usual USB/headphone ports, I don't have any other ports. It says my drivers are up to date...but I don't even know what I should be looking for. Do I need to install something or buy some sort of adapter? 
    I am trying to connect a Dell external montitor via the VGA port with a VGA cable. The monitor has power but my notebook does not recognize/detect it. However, when I first plugged it in, my notebook display shrank into a square (vs the whole screen) so it recognized something...but nothing happened on the external monitor. 
    I tried detecting it via my display settings, but  I accidentally changed some dispaly setting so that the home desktop only shows on monitor 1, but unselected my actual notebook display or something or changed it to be monitor 2 (even though monitor 1 does not exist), so when I plug the cable in to my notebook, all of a sudden my desktop goes away and it's a just a blank background screen - and I cannot access the computer display settings or anything.... when the cable is unplugged this setting looks normal, so I can't figure out how to fix it. 
    Sorry, I have no idea what I'm doing here - please help!

    Hi,
    All Dell monitors come with CD's for drivers. Your laptop may not know the monitor w/o its driver, it won't install automatically. Please check:
    Ringht click a blank space on desktop,
    Click Personalize
    Click Display
    Click Change display settings
    Can you see BOTH laptop screen and external monitor in there as shown on the following image:
    For testing, I put my Dell monitor is my main display. If I can't see 2 monitor, you need its driver first and then check the cable.
    Regards.

  • I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen.  How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?

    I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen.  How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?

    Dear Jean:
    It sounds like you are trying to get your external monitor to act as the primary viewing screen. For example it would have your Doc, Icons, Etc. In order to make the external monitor the primary screen you have to:
    Open System Preferences.
    Choose the Displays Icon
    There will be several tabs to choose from pick Arrangement
    Drag the toolbar to desired display
    Let me know if this helps at all!

    Hi,
    What is the model/product of your AIO machine ? I many cases, you can't use HDMI port to connect to a TV because it is HDMI IN port. You need USB - HDMI converter/adapter to connect to a TV (or monitor).

  • DVI connection to second monitor doesn't work

    When I had the connection from my Mac Pro to my two monitors (20" Cinema display and 19" Princeton monitor), I had the black screens for a few seconds for both monitors then return to normal. It happens anytime. I read the forum and changed the VGA cable to connect the 19" Princeton monitor and now both monitors work fine.
    Do I have to live with the VGA cable option or anyone know how to utilize the DVI connection capability of Mac Pro please help?

    Hi Joe,
    I tried to locate the right slot (x16) by going to
    Expansion Slot Utility and changed from #1 to #2. It
    showed my configuration of the PCI card now is x16 or
    fully speed.
    The problem is still the same with DVI connection to
    two monitors. Any other suggestions would be
    appreciated.

    I'm fresh out of idea's. I assume that your card is a 7300GT, correct? I had an out of the box failure with mine and Apple replaced it. I was lead to believe that there were quite a few failures with the card. Interesting, they didn't even want the old one back.
    I'd go the Applecare route next and see what they say. FYI, I have two of these running three monitors (all apple flat panels) all on DVI connectors.
