Getting an Analog (RCA) audio out from Apple TV 2

I have an extra Acer X203H (DVI-D with HDCP) that doesn't have any speakers. I want to hook up a new Apple TV 2 to it so I can stream Netflix in the bedroom without having to buy a TV. So, here's the question:
I am certain an HDMI to DVI should work, but I don't have a solution for audio. Converting optical audio to RCA appears to cost around $100 for the equipment but I'd like to avoid that if all possible. Any thoughts or ideas would be great.
Thanks!

You need an HDTV, this is a computer monitor, correct?
Then you can either hook it up directly, sound output would be through the TV. Or you could hook up a receiver via optical. If you have an analogue receiver you can buy an adapter or route through the TV if there is an audio out port.

Audio Out from iMac

Hi there....on my iMac, suddenly I'm only getting audio out from the headphone jack at the back (which goes into my JBL Creature II's) on the RIGHT hand side. it does seem that suddenly the output jack socket has become defective....anyone else had this kind of thing?

Try it with something else, such as iPod earbuds, to make sure the problem is not on the speaker side.
Also, check System Preferences Sound pane Output tab to make sure the Balance setting did not get set all the way to the right side somehow.
If it's still broken, try resetting the PRAM

How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

MBP audio out from headphone jack is extremely low in volume

i just sent my macbook pro 13in (mid 2009 model) to the apple store (out of warranty). my problem was that the audio out from the headphone jack was very very low and staticky. the problem arose about 2-3wks ago. i've owned the laptop since june 2009. i've never dropped or damaged it (no water damage, etc)
my local apple store told me they had to replace logic board which seems extreme for what my problem is. i've read numerous forum posts saying that their computers came back with flickering "kernel panic"
has anyone else had a similar audio problem with their computer, and if so was it resolved in this manner?
thanks!

I think you may be mistaken. the static coming from macbooks audio output port is as old a story as the macbook itself. IMO, epic fail on apple's part. I am debating complaining in a few months when I decide I deserve a better sound quality from a ridiculously overpriced laptop.

No. You can only use one sound output:
Why can't I select HDMI audio on my Mac mini?
If you connect an HDMI display or television to a Mac mini (Mid 2010 or later), you might not be able to select the HDMI audio device (in System Preferences > Sound > Output). This can happen if you also have headphones plugged in to the computer. Unplug the headphones to be able to select HDMI audio.

Is there an adaptor that can split the audio out from mic input?

I'd like to use the iPhone on a mixer borad for conferencing. I'm looking for an adaptor that will allow me to separate audio (out) from mic (in) on the iPhone. Any ideas?

Will this work for you?

Can't we get calls to normal mobile phones from apple iPad 3 wifi+4g

I want to know weather we can get calls to normal mobile phones from apple I pad3 wifi+4g

The iPad is not a mobile phone and therefore cannot make or receive calls. The iPad can send a message to another iOS device using the Messages app but the iPad cannot send or receive cellular text messages using the SMS system that all cell phones use. There may be an app that gets around this limitation though so check the App Store.

Need to reset 5G sometimes to get audio out from iPod connector

When I connect the 5G (and my Nano also), to one of my 3 docks, I sometimes have to do a reset to get line out audio out of the iPod connector. Anyone else see this behavior?

Good. Sometimes I get no output on my iTrip and have to reset my iPod, I didn't notice it getting better with the latest update - though I have now downgraded to V1.0 due to a few bugs in V1.1.

Need to reset Nano sometimes to get audio out from iPod connector

When I connect the Nano (and 5G also), to one of my 3 docks, I sometimes have to do a reset to get line out audio out of the iPod connector. Anyone else see this behavior?

Yes, I have had identical behavior with mine twice when I hooked it up to my car charger with the audio out. Once reset it would work but then now I have more problems with mine. Still trying to figure out the glitches with this thing.

Audio out from HDMI port?

I have connected my TV and Booklet via a standard HDMI cable. This same HDMI cable works fine with my DVD player. When I use it with my booklet, only video seems to be sent to the TV via the HDMI cable. Is the HDMI out port supporting only video, or audio as well? I understand the booklet supports HDMI 1.2, which should support an audio profile, as far as I know.
Let me know if you have been able to get audio to work over HDMI.
thanks,
John

I found your discussion attempting to find the answer to the same question.
I won 5 of these things at auction and wanted HDMI to be a selling point
I researched far and wide and now I think I have the answer now.
I had to reload the OS and all the drivers for all 5 units
I read some of the replies to this topic and with some people saying that they had audio and I didn't, I felt that either I was crazy or someone is not truthful. so i had a thought ,
after about the 3rd unit I tried to just try to hook it up to a TV bare without Nokia updated software
What do you know, it worked.
So I have come to the conclusion based upon using both units after testing them with and without the update, is with the stock driver provided, you will get the audio from the HDMI port; if you update the software from the updater(which I noticed it says the driver is MANDATORY)
You will not.
There is a plus and minus on both occassions
With the graphics driver update you can scale your video once hook to an HDTV to full 1080p HD; but you wont get any audio (at least for now)
Without the update you will get the audio out , however you will only get the same native resolution as the netbook 720p
So contemplate which feature is more important you and make your choice.
Higher picture quality(full HD) with the driver yet I need 2 cable (HDMI AND 2.5 to RCA)
OR lower resolution720p but audio as well
I hope this helps but i see my next challenge for both you and is to see if we can roll back the driver if we want audio over HDMI.

Macbook Pro need to port audio out from Firewire or Thunderbolt

I need an additional audio out port (in addition to the headphone jack).
This needs to be analog (going to my sound system / RCA) and it appears I need adaptors that will use the Thunderbolt connector, but something that uses Firewire would be ok too.
My Macbook Pro is 2011 era running 10.6.8

Something like this Digital Audio To Analog Audio Converter ... from Amazon will do the trick.

Can I push audio out the Apple TV HDMI and optical output simultaneously?

I am trying to put audio to two different amplifiers 1) Surround sound and 2) stereo audio. Using HDMI connection to surround sound amp and trying to simultaneously use optical for audio to second stereo amplifier. NOt getting it to work and thinking the Apple TV box only drives one at a time. DOes anyone out there know?

It does both, I have OA to sound bar and HDMI to tv and get audio on both no problem. It is something on your set up. I think from your post both work but not at the same time? If you give a little detail it will help, but ATV does both audio outputs simultaneously and independently.

Optical out and RCA audio out -- do they both work simultaneously?

On teh Apple TV, does audio get output over the digital optical output and the RCA audio jacks simulatenously?

Optical and HDMI sound works simultaneously as well. You can use an optical to SPDIF converter to convert it to coax, then send across the house via cheap RG6 satellite cable and convert it back if necessary to optical if you want your surround amplifier in an equipment closet somewhere or away from your wall mounted TV.
When you don't want surround sound, you can simply turn the TV speaker volume back up. I haven't tried the RCA jacks, but it appears that all audio outputs are active simultaneously.
When you activate volume control, the apple remote will modify the volume level of the optical output as well.
