Help with Built in Speakers

HI! WE moved into a new home two years ago and it had five built in speakers in the living room. We have never done anything with them becasue they are just wires coming out of a port in the wall. I want to buy my husband a blu ray player for Christmas but I don't know if I can buy one with a connection for those or if I have to buy something else?? Please help!

You will need a 5 channel amplifier/receiver to power those speakers, or one of the 5 channel surround blu-ray disc combo's sold by Best Buy. If yo don't understand how such things are accomlished, shuggest you have Geek Squad come out after purchase and hook it all up for you. Enjoy!

Models with Built in Speakers

It seems that the only iPod with built in speakers is the iPod Touch. Is this correct?

If you want a speaker you either have to go for the iPod touch (all generations except the 1st gen) or the 5th generation iPod nano. (only the 5th gen includes a speaker - this model was sold from 2009 - 2010.)

Can I connect a monitor with built in speakers to my macbook air?

Can I connect a monitor with built-in speakers to my macbook air? What would you suggest in the 22" - 24" size for everyday use?

If you say that there is built in speakers. Most probably the connection is HDMi. You will need an adapter to connect the MacBook Air to the monitor through HDMI, at the same time, the adapter needs to support video and AUDIO.

Tecra A8, WinXP SP2 - issue with built-in speakers

Hello there,
I know this issue has been brought up a few times, but I can't find a solution.
I recently inherited a Toshiba Tecra A8. Problem is : the built-in speakers can't seem to work, but the sound is just fine on external speakers or headphones. The speakers used to work at some point in the past, but the previous owner can not tell me what caused the sudden change.
Here's what I did, chronologically, after browsing multiple forums :
- SP3 was installed when I got the computer. I tried to revert back to SP2.
- I've reinstalled XP (had to, machine was too slow). SP2 came with the install CD.
- I've installed two XP hotfixes that were supposed to solve the problem : KB835221 and KB888111
- I've re-installed the Realtek Audio HD codec
- I always try muting/unmuting after everything I do, even before or after a reboot.
Here's what I can tell so far :
- Sound icon is present on the system tray. All volumes are up, whether on the Windows sound manager or on the Realtek one.
- I do not have DOS beeps.
- I'm still on SP2. Didn't try moving on to SP3 (on this new XP install, of course).
- Before I did reinstall Realtex Audio HD, the "internal" option listed under "I/O audio" was shown, but I couldn't access it. After the reinstall, it simply disappeared.
I think that's pretty much it. I came across the same solutions on different forums or group discussions. I've been searching for two days now, to no avail. The computer has never been dropped or damaged, and since it seems that a lot of people experience(d) the same problem as mine, I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem. Well, I hope it's not.
So there. I urge you, nay, I beg you to work your magic and come up with a flawless, absolute solution that will give me back the joy of listening to Justin Bieber in peace. Or something else.
Thanks in advance !

The speakers dont work but the sound is coming from headphones and external speakers?
Well, this would mean that your sound driver is OK and this is probably a speaker related problem. I think it speaker hardware malfunction :(

External speakers with built in speakers?

Is there a way to have audio come out through both built in speakers and external speakers?

The only way that comes to my mind is in the latest versions of iTunes using Airtunes, and this obviously applies only to sound comin from iTunes.
When using a pair of external speakers connected to the AirportExpress, you click on both "Computer" and "Airport" in iTunes output menu (next to the buttons for Equalizer, Full screen, eject). Now everything that goes through iTunes will be heard on the computer and on the external speakers.
This does not work with any other source of sound in your computer (quicktime, DVD player, VLC, etcétera), only with iTunes.

Urgent Help With 5.1 Speakers

Hi,
Ok I just went and bought the Creative Soundblaster Audigy souncard and also bought the Creative Inspire A500 5.1 speakers too.
Now I have installed everything and plugged it all in, but whats annoying me is that you can only here the front 2 speakers and the woofer, the two rear and center speakers are getting no noise from them when I play my music etc.
Can someone please help me fix this?
Its annoying me cause I had this problem when I have a pair of 5.1 Artec Lansing speakers but got the same problem, so I thought ill buy Creative speakers to match to sort the problem but its still doing it, so I dont wanna loose faith in Creative.
Thanks,
Rowan

Help with my internal speakers

Yesterday my macbook was working fine... but ll of a sudden today I tried to play music and the speakers won't play. I try to turn up and town the volume as usual but there is a circle with an cross through it below the volume bar... Also, there is now a red light that comes out from where the headphone input is. Are my speakers broken or is there some special setting my computer is all of a sudden on?

Hi Charles: I haven't had this particular issue but, I have read about it quite a bit on here. The little switch inside the headphone jack becomes stuck in "Digital/Optical" mode. Most people have success by slightly poking the jack with a small toothpick or similar object. It would probablly be best to use something that was resistant to breaking inside the jack.
Good Luck

Help with built-in (please) set_group_number_cell

I am working on a form. The original problem is when I hit a certain button within the form,
it is supposed to keep the fields the same, but mark the record as new and
assigin it a new id/row number. Kind of like copying the fields to a new record.
Initially, when the button was pressed , it would put a zero in the front of the
year (with the format mask being MM/DD/YYYY) it would change a date such as
01/16/2000 to 01/16/0200.
I do not know if it ever worked in the first place, or is not working because we just
moved the forms from 4.5 to 6i - for a customer..
I went through and tried to put the to_number functions and the to_date functions
where they belonged(I think) but now the set_group_number cell function fails.
Here is the code:
FUNCTION copy_one_rec_to_recordgroup (
block_name     varchar
RETURN varchar
IS
rg_id          recordgroup;
rg_name          varchar2 (50);
the_item_name     varchar2 (100);
the_data          varchar2(256);
the_property varchar2(100);
the_datatype varchar2(100);
BEGIN
p_output.out_debug ('p_block.copy_one_rec_to_recordgroup');
-- Make sure a valid block was specified.
validate_exists (block_name, 'p_block.copy_one_rec_to_recordgroup');
-- Create the record group based on the block definition.
rg_name := p_record_group.create_rg_from_block (block_name);
rg_id := find_group     (rg_name);
-- Populate     the first row of the record group 1 field at a time.
add_group_row (rg_id, END_OF_GROUP);
the_item_name := get_block_property     (block_name, first_item);
-- If the item is a     data item and it's value is not     null,
-- copy it to the record group
the_property := get_item_property (block_name ||'.' || the_item_name, item_type);
the_datatype := get_item_property(block_name || '.'|| the_item_name,datatype) ;
the_data := name_in(block_name     || '.' || the_item_name);
if the_property not in ('BUTTON') then
if the_data is not null then
if the_datatype in ('DATE') then
p_output.out_message('The data 1 ***'||the_data||'***'||the_datatype||'***');
     set_group_date_cell(rg_name||'.'|| the_item_name,1,
to_date(the_data,'MM/DD/YYYY'));
elsif the_datatype in ('NUMBER') then
p_output.out_message('The data 2 ***'||the_data||'***'||the_datatype||'***');
     set_group_number_cell(rg_name||'.'|| the_item_name,1,the_data);
else
p_output.out_message('The data 3 ***'||the_data||'***'||the_datatype||'***');
set_group_char_cell (rg_name || '.' || the_item_name, 1,the_data);
end if;
end if;
end if;

-- If the     item is     a data item and     it's value is not null,
-- copy it to the     record group.
if the_property not in ('BUTTON') then
if the_data is not null then
if the_datatype in ('DATE') then
p_output.out_message('The data 4 ***'||the_data||'***'||the_datatype||'***');
     set_group_date_cell(rg_name||'.'|| the_item_name,1,
to_date(the_data,'MM/DD/YYYY'));
elsif the_datatype in ('NUMBER') then

end if;
end if;
end     loop;
return rg_name;
END copy_one_rec_to_recordgroup;
Sorry for such a long post. If you can ... please help! Thanks!

Here is a shorter and more efficient version of your code - apart from the removal of the debugging calls, note the following changes:
1) Rather than doing everything twice - once for the first item then in a loop for all the rest, everything is now done in the loop
2) The format mask used by the date manipulation is the actual one used by NAME_IN() - to make this work I'd recommend that you use
SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(BUILTIN_DATE_FORMAT,'DD-MON-YYYY'); in your startup code e.g. When-New-Form-Instance
3) The item ID is used rather than the name to speed up access and calls to get_item_property() are only made once we know they are needed - e.g. there is not need to get the datatype and value if you already know that this is a button item.
FUNCTION copy_one_rec_to_recordgroup ( block_name in varchar2 ) RETURN varchar2 IS
rg_id recordgroup;
rg_name varchar2 (30);
the_item ITEM;
the_item_name varchar2(30);
the_data varchar2(256);
the_formatmask varchar2(30) := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(BUILTIN_DATE_FORMAT);
the_property varchar2(20);
the_datatype varchar2(10);
BEGIN
-- Create the record group based on the block definition.
rg_name := p_record_group.create_rg_from_block (block_name);
rg_id := find_group (rg_name);
-- Populate the first row of the record group 1 field at a time.
add_group_row (rg_id, END_OF_GROUP);
the_item_name := get_block_property (block_name, first_item);
LOOP
    the_item := find_item(block_name||'.'||the_item_name);
    if get_item_property (the_item, item_type) not in ('BUTTON') then
      the_data     := name_in(block_name||'.'||the_item_name);
      if the_data is not null then
     the_datatype := get_item_property(the_item, datatype) ;
     if the_datatype in ('DATE') then
       set_group_date_cell(rg_name||'.'||the_item_name,1,to_date(the_data,the_formatmask));
     elsif the_datatype in ('NUMBER') then
       set_group_number_cell(rg_name||'.'|| the_item_name,1,to_number(the_data));
     else
       set_group_char_cell (rg_name || '.' || the_item_name, 1,the_data);
     end if;
      end if;
    end if;
    the_item_name := get_item_property(the_item, nextitem);
    EXIT when the_item_name is null;

Help with built-in Software Instrument triggering from Roland V-Drum TD-9S

I'm trying to figure out how to map the drums triggers in my TD-9S Roland V-Drum module to the correct drums as Logic 8 interprets them. I've gotten very far with this- but when I use another app like the BFD demo, it's evident that I am not as close as I thought. the BFD app is able to "learn" the drum that the trigger is triggering, so it's pretty easy to set up.
Without any changes in Logic, it's close, but the hi triggering is not working correctly. For example, when hihat is closed it triggers nothing. The bass drum is triggering an initial hit followed by a ghost note, and the ride cymbal is triggering the bell of the ride only. I'm not using the BFD plug in in Logic- just the stock instruments that come with Logic 8.
I really just want to know where to map out the midi trigger to midi (specific) drum sound within Logic and it has so far proved daunting.

Just to be sure, have you connected the MIDI inputs/outputs correctly? It's rather confusing, if memory serves (been a little while since I did any MIDI).
You want the MIDI out on your v-drums connected to the MIDI in on the mIO interface, and the MIDI in on the v-drums connected to the MIDI out on the mIO. That is, you want the drums’ output to connect to the interface’s input, and the drums’ input connected to the interface’s output (in case you want to control the drums via GarageBand in some fashion).
That should “just work”.

Help with tweaking blog and webform built in Adobe Muse

Hi there.
A client of mine had a 3rd party do a re-design (in Adobe Muse) of their current site in BC. Managed to get most of the re-design all launched except for a couple of tweaks that have been giving me major headaches.
Firstly, is it possible to edit the site that was built in Muse directly from BC itself and not Muse? I don't have a Muse subscription.
If so, I need help with the following that I have tried to tweak myself, but just can't find out how. BTW I am not a developer but muddle my way around editing existing code etc etc.
1. On the contact us page, I need to add an additional field to the webform. A radio button question: "preferred contact method". Phone or email. I know how to add the field to the webform in BC. Apparently Muse forms don't support radio buttons? Anyway, I can't figure out how to edit the source on the contact page to include the fields that I add to the webform.
2. Some minor tweaks to the layout of the blog page. I need to make the horizontal and vertical lines meet up and not have a space. Also, the left column width needs to be decreased and the right column width increased. Basically I need the current live blog http://www.robertsonburns.com.au/blah-blog to look like the previously coded muse blog (which is not live) http://robertsonburns-test5.businesscatalyst.com/blah.html which it does, except for these two minor issues.
Would appreciate anyone's help and/or advice.
Thanks.

Hey there,
Yes you just go to the site either via... site.buisnesscatalyst.com/admin or livesite.com/admin
Once you do that you can login. It depends how it was built though. Properly a site will have content holders and templates and the pages just hold the content. A user can go to those pages, webapps, blogs (dependng on the plan and build of the site) can edit that content.
Muse is not the best in terms of handling that and making updates, I am aware the Team updated Muse to handle fetching updates etc though but there is a note of caution on that stil though.
1. What is the plan of the site? If it is just a CC site then there is no web form manager with that plan of BC. You will have to edit and update the form built in Muse.
If it is on a plan that supports web forms it also depends on how you built it. If in Muse you should be able to just update the form in Muse I think and it posts into the system to update. If not then you need to go into the admin and web form manager and edit the html to make changes. This depends though if the form was inserted as a module, if not you need to navigate to the template or page and update it there once you have added the new fields to the form under the web form itself.
2. Layouts are managed via SFTP under the folder Layouts or in the admin under Module Templates in the main menu and Blog layouts.

Ipod touch built-in speakers wont work anymore. please help

Like I said my ipod touch built in speakers wont work now yesterday I was able to hear and use them when I was using the pianist app from the itunes store and it worked fine and today I redownloaded the digidrummer lite app since my old one for some reason didnt work and once I did download the app I synced to my ipod and tried to play and noticed that no sound came out so I tried other apps and also my music and also no sound. with headphones connected it works fine sound comes out and all.

K, so last night I tried the home+sleep/wake button hold thing and reset it that way and also just normal shutoffs which didnt fix it and also tried the ideas that you guys said and no go. everynow and then it would make the sound when I unlock it. so i just left it on and let the battery die see if that would do something it got to 10% and shuts off i guess so then i charged it on my stereo system with an ipod dock and was listening to music then i disconected it and to my suprise it started playing through the internal speakers again. I was skeptical at first so I turned it off and tried again it worked. so i went to the app that I think caused the problem in the first place called digidrummer lite I was able to hear the drums tom toms etc went to the home menu tried again played that app once more but this time there was no sound. I went to my music and everynow and then it would play but fade out or not play at all. so I took digidrummer off and so far the speakers are working again but I will still need to test them more.

Help with speaker noises

Hey there,
I have an iMac... with bootcamp on it.
Im having a problem with the speakers everytime i switch over to windows...
when im in a lower volume i hear a distorted weird alien like noise coming from the built in speakers... until i either put in differnet speakers or put in headphones, then the noise is gone...
anyonw know why this happens?? :S
any help woudl be appreciated

I believe so. The "clickity" noises are an option; I like them. You can shut them off via the Main Menu Settings. As for the "whizzing", I'm not exactly sure. It's probably normal, but I can't recal. If everything is working completely fine, then it's probably nothing to worry about, unless it's loud enough to hear over your music, which I doubt.
