How do I play my shuffle through my surround sound system via a USB port?

Help! Love my new shuffle. Would love to play it through my LG surround system that has a USB port on the front. I connected my docking usb with shuffle in and it tells me there is no data. Is it not as simple as this? Don't seem to be able to find any info from the manuals.
Thanks

Use a cable with 3.5mm mini plug on each end and connect one end to the system's audio-in and the other to the shuffle's earphone jack.
Shuffle doesn't play through USB without a special adaptor that interfaces it to normal iPod "universal" dock connections...

How do i hook my ATV through my surround sound and then to my TV?

Hi,
I have just bought a Samsung HT-Z120 to play music and video with my ATV through my TV. However i have a slight issue connecting everything together harmonously.
Currently i have 3 RCA components connecting the TV to the Samsung HT-Z120 (surrond sound system) and a HDMI cable connecting my ATV to my TV.
I need to connect the ATV directly to the surround sound but the connections i have left on my surrond sound and ATV are an optical output on the ATV and a audio out and video jack on my surround sound. I know this is a silly question as one is fibre optic and the other is analogue, but is there anyway to connect all this together?

No unfrotunatley there is no HDMI output on the surround, neither is there an optical. All i have is 2 rca point and 3 rca component point. I bought it second hand thinking it was a good deal, however i now realise my mistake.
Im not sure im going to be able to make this work, unless there is a magic answer involving the two remaining audio jacks from the surround.
Thanks for both of your replies...
The Apple TV only supports HDMI and Optical Output. I took a look at your Samsung product specifications online and it is a bare bones unit. You will not be able to connect the Apple TV to your Samsung product.

How can I play my ipad through my TEAC speaker

I have a 2/3 year old single TEAC speaker with no airplay functionality. How can I play my ipad through this speaker, preferably without wires
Thanks

If you're just looking to play audio, the easiest way is to buy an AirPort Express and connect your stereo to the miniplug jack, then play using AirPlay. That's how I do it! And as an added bonus, it can extend your wireless network.

An AppleTV would work too, if you're also looking to stream video.

How can I play itunes music through one of the usb ports on my new MacBook Air?

Greetings Everyone.
I just purchased my first Mac product I want to be able to play music from the itunes app from one of my usb ports to the usb port on the front panel of my Yamaha CD changer. I want to utilize the buit-in DAC of the Yamaha. A friend was able to run his Ipad through it but I can't see a way to run my MacBook Air through it. When I go to System Preferences -> Hardware -> Sound the only item listed for Output is "Internal Speakers".
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Play music through my surround sound

Can I play music through my surround sound from my Galaxy S5. On my Motorola Razr I had a micro HDMI port that I used to mirror my phone screen and listen to music on my TV and surround sound system. Can my Galaxy S5 do this? Do I need an adapter and what is the model # I would need?

there's an adapter walmart carrys it either in store or online its made by ONN it plugs into your charging port and converts it to a full size hdmi. ONN makes them for a few different kinds of phones so make sure you get the galaxy s5 1

Not able to get the sound from my tv to come through my surround sound speakers

I have a new Samsung 46" tv and a new yamaha receiver also a new Samsung blu-ray player. I currently have an HDMI cable going from my tv to my receiver and a short HDMI cable going to my Blu-ray player and the old style red and white rca cables from my tv to my receiver. The surround sound works great when playing the blu-ray but no luck when watching regular tv. I have tried to change the tv speakers to external speakers but all is silent when i do that. I have read on the other post of similiar problems and the solution seemed to be using an optical digital cable. I have also read on prior post that i should be able to accomplish this with just the HDMI cable. I do not have a cable box only a cable line coming into the house and straight to the tv. Do i even need the rca cables?

When i purchased the equipment from best buy i told them what all i was trying to accomplish and this is the exact way i was told to make the connections keep in mind i know nothing when it comes to electronics so i wrote the instructions from the salesrep word for word. Here is what I have. My tv is located on one side of the room and receiver and blu-ray on the other about 25' from each other. I have regular cable coming to the tv and I have an HDMI cable coming from HDMI (DVI- IN) on the tv to HDMI(OUT) on my RX-V367 receiver. the i have a short HDMI cable going from my receiver (HDMI/DVD) to my blu-ray (HDMI out). My RCA cables came into play when I told the rep. that I wanted my tv sound to come through my surround sound. He said they did not have a digital optical cable with a length of 25' to reach from tv to receiver so I would have to use RCA cables and to connect them from (audio component IN) on my tv to (AV OUT) on my tv. The input on my receiver when watching tv in on HDMI 1.

Shuffle is not recognized thru 2013 Santa Fe usb port. Any suggestions?

Shuffle is not recognized thru 2013 Santa Fe usb port. Any suggestions?

You should consult the documentation or tech support for the car audio system, to see if a shuffle is supported as a device connected to the USB port. Also, there may be a setting on the car audio system, where you tell it that you are connecting an iPod to the USB port, and not something generic like a USB flash drive with song files.
When you connect an iPod to a USB port on a car audio system, it is just acting as a storage device. The car audio system is reading song files off the iPod and doing all the playing. Therefore, you may want to use a cheap USB flash drive with song files for this purpose, instead of an iPod. Here's one that barely sticks out of the USB port

and has four times more storage compared to a 2GB shuffle. You can also leave it connected to the car audio system, except when you want to update its songs, instead of having to constantly connect and remove an iPod. If you forget your iPod in your car, extreme heat or cold can cause damage.

How do I play Apple TV through auxiliary speaker system?

Please help. I am trying to use my Apple TV to play movies with the sound instead of going through the TV through a speaker system. The only Input for the speaker is a Female Auxiliary. I do not have an Auxiliary Output with my TV. Is it possible to run the audio through my AirTunes Express Auxiliary? That is how I play music through my computer into the speakers. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

The Apple TV outputs a digital signal over an optical cable, you would need to convert this to an analog signal for your sound system. You can do this with a DAC (Example Only -Not a recommendation or suggestion that this is suitable in your circumstances).

Playing ipod shuffle through second computer

I want to play my ipod shuffle through a second computer. I downloaded iTunes but the message "the ipod "mhc shuffle" is synched with another computer...." comes up - is there any way to just play the songs on shuffle through another laptop????

AFAIK, the whole deal is designed to prevent ppl from using Pods to circumvent the DRM crappola, so they make it difficult or impossible to do things like this and share digital copies w/ others.
However, if you really only wanna play the tunes, as opposed to copy them, connect a cable between the pod's headphone jack and the audio in of another computer, it should yield a pretty hi-fidelity sound even though it's no longer digital. With the right cable, you can connect a Pod to a stereo system and use it like a tape player w/ better sound.

How do i play video simultaneously through airplay and on iPhone

Hi, I'm currently using an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.2, and i require playback of video via AirPlay to a projector from here and it works perfectly fine with a wifi plug-in bought separately. However, i wish to have playback on both the projector screen and my iPhone, but iPhone only shows a TV-out screen. My teacher says it could be a mechanism to help the phone save on energy during playback by choosing to only play the video through AirPlay and not on the iPhone Called Apple Support but i didn't really get the answer that i needed. Will this problem be solved if i used an Apple TV instead? Or are there existing third-party apps available that will help me achieve my desired effect?
