How to Enable Headphone/Mic and External Speakers at On

Hey!?Just bought the Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Professional card to put in a new system I'm building. I wanted to use this instead of the one that had the 5.25" dri've bay connection because my PC's front panel closes over those bays and would render them useless during most of its operation. I was really disappointed that there wasn't an optical or co-ax digital out from the rear. I went to look at some adapters; unfortunately for me, those would all have to be connected to the Microphone input. That's unacceptable, since I'm an avid gamer and our voip is pretty much a necessity at all times. I like the sound, but the fact that I can't easily switch from speaker output to headphone/microphone is really causing me problems. I wish there was an adapter for that AD link in the back, would make things much easier. I know there's an accessory that may help; the I/O console. Just a bit spendy ($70 or so)?for basically adding the ability to the card I purchased to run my speakers and headset conveniently. Currently I connect my headset to the analog ports of the onboard sound, and my speakers and receiver through the optical port. This lets me instantly decrease the speaker volume when I get wife-aggro, while at the same time allowing me to communicate via the headset mic either with the speakers over my head or around my neck. Any suggestions for a similar arrangement with the Fatalty X-Fi card?Thanks!

Is there a way possibly to connect a tower's front panel audio to the card? That would solve quite a bit, with the audio and mic inputs there. Sorry if this is a newby question, would like to prevent repackaging the card and returning it...

How do I play audio from my headphone jack and internal speakers?

How do I play audio from my headphone jack and internal speakers at the same time ? I have a splitter for my audio jack so that when i connect up my second monitor I can have it so it also plays audio as well as anything else i have connected into the jack but how do i let the internal speakers emit sound at the same time?

Hello,
If you mean the internal speakers in your Mac, you can't play audio through them at the same time you have anything plugged into the headphone jack. When you plug something into the headphone jack, it disconnects the internal speakers.

Mac mini - built-in speakers and external speakers?

Hello
Is it possible to use built-in speaker and external speakers the same time?
I have connected Mini to my sound system, but sometimes I listen to the radio and would like to use the built-in speaker.
How can I do such thing without unplugging external speakers?
Regards
Przemek

You can't.
There are 5.1 speaker systems that work with Macs that have built-in SPDIF ports:

(the M-Audio link on this tip is to a no longer available product)
And there is 3 channel based speaker adapter here:

And while hard to find, you may be able to also get this Sonica Theatre USB Card somewhere:

I have lost all audio on both my internal and external speakers.

I have lost audio on both my internal and external speakers. I have checked the System Preferences when my external speakers are plugged in it is acknowledged. When using internal speakers they are also acknowledged. Sound volume on Preferences is on and fully high. The sound buttons on the keyboard do not work and the sound level is now locked in at full sound and cannot be adjusted using the keys. The System Preferences shows that Mute is now checked and I cannot uncheck it. What should I do to get my sound back both internally and externally?

Repair permissions & restart.
Check your settings in the Audio Midi app which is located in the Utilities folder.

Trick/Tip: Open up GarageBand if installed then, open a program (optional).

=====================
Repairing the mysteriously muted Mac
The background on the issue is that there’s a small sensor switch inside the headphone port. When you insert a headphone jack, the sensor understands what's what and changes the sound output setting to Headphones. If you insert a jack for digital audio output, the device changes to Digital Out. When you remove the jack completely, it should read Internal Speakers.
The spirits tell me that there’s a very good chance that you recently had something jacked into this port—a set of headphones or a cable leading to powered speakers, for example. When you removed the jack, something in the port prevented the sensor from tripping correctly. That’s why you see Digital Out instead of internal Speakers.
The solution is to force the sensor to do its job. The safest way to do that is to simply run a jack in and out of the port a few times. Much of the time, this takes care of the problem by correctly tripping the sensor. If that doesn’t work, there may be gunk in the port. Before turning to more invasive techniques, get a can of compressed air, attach the small tube that fits the nozzle, and blast a few shots of air into the port. With any luck, that should dislodge the gunk and the port will operate as it should.
If that doesn’t work, find a foam-tipped swab that fits (electronics shops generally carry them), dip it in rubbing alcohol, and gently insert it into the headphone port in an attempt to wipe away any stubborn gunk. I recommend foam rather than cotton swabs because the cotton variety might leave threads behind. (This same technique works well with misbehaving headphone ports on devices such as iOS devices.)
It's possible that gunk has nothing to do with it. Rather, it may be that the switch just needs a subtle nudge. If a jack or swab doesn't work, I've heard of people successfully resetting it with a deft poke of a toothpick.

Can I use my monitor and external speakers with apple tv

I have an extra computer monitor (DVI input) and external speakers (3.5mm male audio jack.) Is there some combination of adapters that I can use to hook up an apple tv to them in order to stream from netflix, and my itunes library?

no but you can get tons of solutions where you connect something to your tv's minijack headset connector and then it wireless transfer the audio signal to a headset
there are both bluetooth solutions belkin have one I use and there are also solutions where the headset is included and they use their own custom protocol
but mind you there is no way to keep such setups in sync in terms of video and audio so if the system is poor in quality or pre-process the audio signal too much it cause audio and visuals to get out of sync

How to enable DDE communication and Network DDE DSDM on windows 7

How to enable DDE communication and Network DDE DSDM on windows 7

Hi,
For Network DDE to function, NetDDE.EXE needs to be installed and running on both machines before attempting to conduct a Network DDE conversation. NetDDE.exe is a Windows Service system file that is used to communicate the shared dynamic data exchange used
by Network DDE. It has no graphical user interface (it runs as a background Windows service).

Just adding on to Nameeta's post, there is a supress download checkbox in the advanced setting s link(Settings -> Advanced Settings) on the client, this will supress downloads for all syncbos and not just for any one syncbo. Also there are no tools in the middleware to add these settings, the only way to do this is to modify the xml manually.

How to enable ws-addressing and set ws-Reply to & message-Id ??

How to enable ws-addressing and set ws-Reply to & message-Id and all related properties. ???
I looked at the documentation but not sure how to do this.
Any Help is appreciated.

No it is not possible to add the xml file to the already compiled war and not compiling again.
There are only two ways to add the policy file to weblogic deployed web service.
1: through the policy annotation in the web service java file.
2: through the admin console if the web service is deployed as a separate war.
thanks,

I can't hear iTunes music or internet radio but internal and external speakers are definitely working. Is there a key stroke I have set or some other, maybe Yosemite, issue?

I have checked my internal speakers on an iMac and also the external speakers - all working. When play music in iTunes the sound bar moves but no sound is heard. Same problem if I want to listen to the radio via internet. Has anyone a suggestion. Is it a Yosemite issue - I have had others involving printers. thanks

like davis says then even though I have connected headset and external speakers to my imac then at boot up the boot sound comes out of the imac speaker
but once booted into OS X all audio is played out of the headset and ext speakers and the imac speakers are silent as the grave

Audio sounds damaged. I have tried with both built in and external speakers.

Audio sounds damaged. I have tried with both built in and external speakers. I think its a problem with a driver or something.

How to get internal and external speakers playing together?

Hey everyone, I just bought the HP ENVY dv7 with beats audio and I love it! I only have one question that I couldn't seem to get answered anywhere else so I turned to here. Is there a way I can have the compuer's internal speakers (beats audio) and my home stereo speakers (external) playing at the same time? I love how good the beats sound but I also want the surround sound given by the external speakers. So is there a setting I can switch it to so it'll play both? I've tried looking but couldn't find it. Or is there some program/driver like thing I need to download off the interwebs so it'll play both? Thanks in advanced.

Hello Branman,
I understand you want to play your surround sound system while also being able to hear your internal laptop speakers, is that correct? I will be happy to help you.
Unfortunately that will not work, by design whenever you plug in a surround sound system or just a standard set of headphones the system automatically disables the internal speakers. I was not able to come across any legit online software that you can download to make that a possible transition.
Thanks

Internal (central) and external speakers (left,right)

Hi all,
I looking for a way to put the speakers in the iMac to good use.
what I know:
I can't use the headphone-jack and the internal speaker simultaneously, since there is a hardware switch in the headphone-jack.
what I don’t know:
If I would use an usb-sound card, is there a way to use the internal speakers as a central speaker and the sound card for left and right channel?
Perhaps somebody has an idea to this.
Thanks
Patrick

I don't believe this is entirely true, it appears that while running Windows XP through Bootcamp, because of the absence of some kind of driver, both the internal speakers and the external speakers play the sound. Apparantly some guy was using Skype with his headphones, but the sound was not only coming through his headphone but also through the speakers.
Long story short, there has to be a way to do it, even though it may be through some ugly firmware hack.

Left Audio Only From Headphones Jack With External Speakers

Yes, the balance is set properly under the sound system preferences.
So here's the problem, I have JBL Encounter speakers connected via the headphone jack and since yesterday only the left speaker produces sound.
I've plugged my ipod into the JBL speakers and they work fine. I've also used headphones with my computer and again, left audio only.
I've even switched the right and left satellite speakers and again only left audio is produced... though on the right (side) satellite.
Any thoughts on how to correct this? The nearest apple store is 2 and 1/2 hours away so I'd prefer not to go if there is another fix.
My three month phone service is up but I'm still covered under the apple care for a few more months.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds as if your headphone jack is either defective or has been damaged by having a cord yanked at some stage, Kanji
It is either a trip to your nearest AASP or a mailing box from Apple to get it resolved. Applecare will cover it if the problem isn't due to accidental damage (though a cat tripping on the cord can be enough to produce such results and the price could accordingly be substantial as the port is mounted on the logicboard on recent MBPs as I understand it) .
You might want to try a regular pair of headphones in the socket to make sure the problem also occurs with them, too, though.
Cheers

WoW Wireless Headphones Mic and Driver issue

I know a lot of people have issues with the mic sounding muffled to others. One thing i noticed is that the default sample rate is 16000 Hz (Tape Recorder Quality). Is this my only option becuase I feel that is my issue. My destop mic is set at 48000 (DVD Quality). I cant believe there is not a way to change this. I have updated the firmware but dont feel that did much at all.
The other thing I wanted to mention is the driver date. I downloaded it on the website where it says released March 23 2010, yet when I go into the actual driver its date is December 9 2009. Is it really that old.

Are your headphones showing up as the default playback device? I have an X-FI Titanium and the headphones connected and my Titanium is usually my default for my speakers. In Windows 7, I usually go to control panel and sound, and there I choose the WoW as default and this solves my issue.
Windows usually chooses the first device listed in control panel until you choose another default.
