How do I connect my MacBookPro to my external amp/speakers.

How do I connect my MacBookPro to my external amp/speakers.
There's is no choice in sys pref to choose LINE OUT, only INTERNAL SPEAKERS.

The headphone jack is your combo headphone/line out. You use a mini plug on the MBP end and, depending on your external amp/speakers, either a mini jack or a pair of RCA jacks.
PS. Your OS X level can't be 10.3.7 ... MacBook Pro's were first delivered with OS X Tiger 10.4.

    How di I connect my MacBookPro to my new Dell U2412M 24" monitor?

    If your MacBook Pro has a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port, use a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable.  If not, use a DVI cable.

    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.

    You need an external ADC with XLR input.

    Normally, you would need a Mini Toslink to Toslink cable. Example below:

    Most electronic superstores will have what you need as well.

  • How can i connect to a LAN and external display at the same time using the mini-displayport?

    Hi all,
    At work i'm connected to the Lan via an adapter and the mini displayport. I want to use my external display at the same time, which use the same mini displayport. Are there any splitters available to use both at the same time? Are there any other alternatives?
    Thanks,

  • Is is possible to connect my MacBookPro to an external cd player

    I want to connect my MacBook Pro to an external cd player so as to increase the sound
    in a larger room.  Is that possible and what kind of cords would I need?  

    connecting your MacBook to a CD player will not increase the sound level.
    The CD player outputs a standard level, called LINE level. The MacBook Pro outputs a standard level, LINE level.
    To make the sound louder requires an amplifier, in each case. You have no gain (pun intended) by interspersing the computer.

  • How can I connect mini to headphone amplifier?

    I used to use windows to play my music when I sit in front of computer and use my headphone. My FLAC music is saved in an external hard drive. I use Foobar 2000 player to play FLAC. Between my headphone amplifier and window mobo is optical cable. Now I want to try that on the mini but it does not have optical output. How can I connect the mini to the headphone amp without having to degrade the sound quality below the optical connection I used to use on the windows? Thanks.

    What model mini?
    It should have an optical out included in the headphone jack, You need:

  • Connecting the T410s to an external monitor

    1) Excuse the ignorant question but how would you connect the T410s to an external monitor?  The T410s has a DisplayPort port, but what if the monitor does not have a DisplayPort port but an HDMI port?
    2) Which leads into my second question.  How would I connect the T410s to two external monitors?  I guess whatever the answer is to the above question, but connect some kind of a splitter coming out of the T410s DisplayPort port?
    3) And lastly, take a look at this link...
    http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/we​b/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:category.details?current-catalog-id=12F0696583E04​D86B9B79B0FEC01C087&current-category-id=19C791A03A​F24034A0011B825513BCED&tabname=Gallery
    Once you get there, click on T400s below the thumbnails.  If that long link I pasted does not work right, it is the T-series gallery on Lenovo's site.  In one of the pictures, it shows the T400s connected to two external monitors, but does not say how.  They brag at how you can export 2560x1600 to two monitors without the use of a dock.  Is this possible even though the T410s video card tops out at 1440x900?
    Thank you.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you, lead_org.  You've been very helpful.  Last 2 questions hopefully.
    1) Regarding the use of DisplayPort on the Mini Dock Plus, since DisplayPort transmits audio as well as video (unlike the old style VGA which only sent video), if I connected the Mini Dock Plus to the HDMI port of my monitor (using a DP-to-HDMI adapter of course) would I lose audio out coming out of the green miniplug port on the mini dock, since the system might assume I want all audio to go through the DisplayPort cable?  I have seperate external speakers I want to use and not the ones on the monitor.
    2) Do you lose any quality when you connect to an external monitor using a Mini Dock, as opposed to connecting directly from the T410s itself?  The reason I'm asking is that some people claimed that using the green miniplug audio port on the dock generates a much lower volume than if they were to plug the speakers directly into the laptop instead.

  • How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?

    How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?  This question applies to both DVI and VGA, as I might have to work with multiple sets of monitors.

    The MacBookPro only has enough horsepower in the video card for one external monitor.
    If you want two or more, you need a MacPro.
    Or a MacBook Pro and a Remote Desktop controlled MacMini.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
    You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..
