How to play sound input thru speakers

Is there any way to play the audio stream coming in on the Line In port to the computer's speakers? It seems intuitively obvious that it should be possible and easy, but I can't find anything which enables it. I have the output volume at a reasonable level, and the "mute" controls in the Sounds control panel are not set. Still nothing!
Thanks.

I agree that it should be simple, but it is not. In Mac OS X, there is no setting to play-through the audio input to the audio output. You have to run some program, such as an audio recording application, and set that program to play-through the sound.
Fortunately, if all you want is to play-through the sound, there is a simple little program that does just that one function. It's called LineIn.

IPhone no longer plays sound/music thru earphones

My iPhone will not play any sound (music, podcasts) through my earphones. The speakers on my iPhone work but not the earphone piece. I have tried several earphones but none of them work. It's as it my iPhone does not register them. It continues to play sound via the speakers even when earphones are plugged in. Do you think the iPhone is broken or did I do something to turn off the earphones.

How do I check if the volume setting is on. I thought the volume button was the same for both.
Everything was working fine on my iPhone yesterday and then suddenly today the earphones don't work.
I wonder how much a new earphone jack costs.

Some apps won't play sound through iPad2 speakers

I've noticed since updating to iOS 5 and 5.0.1, I've got more apps that won't play sound through ipad2 speakers, but will play sound through earphones though. Using the same app on the iphone plays sound through the iphone speakers as normal.
It seems to be picky with which apps it does this to as Sky News/BBCiplayer/YouTube/Video/ IMDb all play sound through ipad speakers. Apps like FilmOn plus/ FreeAppMagic/ Falling Gems/ Bejeweled2/ FNS Shift2 will only play sound through earphones. These Apps updating to the new iOS doesn't fix the sound issue either.
I can use an app that plays sound through iPad speakers, then use an app that doesn't play sound through the speakers, then use another app that does play sound through speakers, so the earphone connection actuator doesn't look like the problem to me. Maybe some sound drivers may have been lost or deleted with new iOS updates over wifi...?
Any help would be appreciated.

See if perhaps this is the reason why some apps aren't playing sound.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

How to play sound in servlet program

How to play sound when a page is gernerated? Thank you for any suggestion.

Why would you want to do that? Remember that the servlet runs on the web server, which is probably in a room full of computers. Nobody will be there to hear it, and if somebody does hear it they will just think it is a problem.
Perhaps you wanted to play a sound when the page is loaded in the browser? That's an HTML/Javascript/browser question that might get an answer in a forum about those topics.

My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while on Spotify. Volume max. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps. Works with earpods.

My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while I was listening on Spotify. Volume was maxxed out. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps (Soundcloud, NPR, Clash of Clans). There are sounds when I attached my earpods. I tried the switch to mono solution on the other threads, didn't help either.
My iPad is generally muted because of classes, but when I un-mute it it works fine. It just stopped after one song, and now I can't get it to work. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi!
I've the same issue after updating to iOS 8.3. on iPad 3.
sound is working properly only with headphones attached.
when I tap on AirPlay button it says "Docking connector" while it should "iPad"
when i play with sound settings and try to change e.g. some alert sounds, sound is played and volume slider in control center magically appears.
any other app can't play sound.
is there any fix for that?
Thanks

Simultaneous sound: how to get sound from internal speakers and usb audio adapter

I have an iMac in my living room. It is hardwired to my home theater system in my family room. Currently, I can listen to audio in one location or the other... but not both. I bought a StarTech.com ICUSB Audio Adapter hoping that it would be a fix... not so much. Downloaded SoundSource... not so much
How can I get audio to play via my internal speakers and through my home theater system? Hosting a party this Saturday and would like multiple rooms filled with sound.

First pluging is headphones and then unplugging it. If yu can't get it fully inseted tham may indicate that end of a plug is broken off inside the jack.
Then if not above problem, try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Bootcamp 3.1 & Windows 7 x64 - no external sound input, low speakers level

Hi all,
I just installed long awaited Bootcamp 3.1 update. I am rather disappointed.
The only thing that has changed is that the red light on the audio output is off. This thing actually bothered me the least.
External sound input line does not seem to work at all. No matter if mike or standard line device is connected. System recognizes that something is connected but there is no sound coming, level indicator does not rise.
Speakers level is still low. As far as I know all it takes to fix it is to alter some settings in the *.ini file. Someone did it and posted for other to download but why it is sho hard for Cirrus and Apple? What is the matter?
Is there any way to get sound output via Mini Port under Windows 7?
System does not even see such device.
Thanks,
Thomas

What about the iMac though? 2008 Model w/ Realtek to be specific. The audio is low and poor and I haven't even tried the audio out. I'm running Win7 x64 and everything works well aside from my audio and my external WD Studio FW800 drive disconnecting randomly with repeated directory changes. I can avoid that on my system... but the audio is a real disappointment. Makes me feel like I need an external FW sound card.

How To Play The Shuffle Thru A Boombox Or Stereo?

I was wondering if it's possible to directly plug in the shuffle and play it using the speakers in my Sony boombox or through my stereo system - and what parts would be needed to do it?

Yes. There are several ways to do it.
You can get a cable to connect from your iPod's headphone jack to the stereo's auxiliary input, or you can use a cassette adaptor or fm transmitter if your stereo has no aux input.
Cheers!

IPod stopped playing sound out of speakers

I have an iPod touch 5th Gen which is around 3 years old and today it suddenly stopped playing sound out of the speakers. If i put headphones in sound plays fine out of them but as soon as I take them out no sound comes out even if there is something playing.
The speakers were working fine around 20-30 minutes before I realized they weren't working and my iPod has been doing nothing but sitting on my desk in that time. I tried restarting my iPod but this didn't fix the issue.

It can't be 3 years old since the 5G iPod was first introduced in Oct 2012
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

How to play my ipod thru my car stereo?

I have a fourth gen. Nano and can't seem to find a device so I can play my iPod thru my car stereo. Is there one for the 4th gen. Nano I don't have a plug in and am looking for a wireless device?

You can convert songs by using the iTunes Advanced menu -> Create XXX Version. What type of version is controlled by the encoder selected in the iTunes Preferences -> General pane. Click on the "Import Settings" button to change.
When you use this, you will get an MP3 copy of each song you convert. You can find them in your library by sorting by the "kind" column and searching for "MPEG audio File".

How to play sound from a proprietary format

I would like to convert a small java applet to flex as3
The current applet connects to a remote server to receive audio in a proprietry compressed and encrypted format using a tcp connection (the data is encoded as text)
It then decrypts, decompresses the audio and uses java sound to play it.
Looking at the as3 classes all I could find is a sound object that seems to only play mp3 audio and a urlrequest object that is used to download (what about streaming) mp3 audio from a server.
I am looking for a simple sample that will incorporate retreving data from a server (perhaps using the http service) into e.g. a byte array, and playing pcm audio from a byte array.
Ideally it would be a small set of files (1?) that I can compile using mxmlc; I am not good with IDEs, linux command line is my thing
Thanks

Maciek, many thanks!
Here's sample code showing how to stream audio in arbitrary format and play it
// File: Player.as
// When running from local storage (during developement)
// compile mxmlc -use-network=false Player.as
// otherwise loading the local raw audio file fails with error 2148
// The input audio format is 16 bit little endian 44.1Khz mono.
