HT1515 Harmon Kardon Sound Sticks I & wireless setup

I have Harmon Kardon Sound Sticks I.
It only has a USB cable to connect to computer & after reading discussions the speakers will only work if the usb is connected direct to computer as the Airport Express usb connection does not support it. I have a wireless router and also an Airport Express on hand. Is there any way I can set up my Macbook to play itunes wirelessly to the sound sticks?

I just updated to 10.6.8 and now mine arent working either! I have a quadcore 3ghz intel-Arrrrrrrgh! fix this!!!!!!

Wobbly noise from harmon kardon sound sticks

ok this is weird.... imagine playing a record, and every so often you put your finger on the record so it slows down very slowly, only for a very short amount of time though... its weird..
thats what the sound plays out like of my G5....!!!
does anyone else have this issue?

This is a very odd issue. I have a few questions for you about your problem. Do you have any other audio equipment connected to your Mac? Do you run any kind of user interface modification software that adds more system sounds? Had you made any system changes immediately preceeding this strange behavior beginning?

Harman Kardon Sound Sticks Not Working

Hi everybody.
I have a Harman Kardon Sound Stick speaker system hooked up to my computer, and although the light is on, it is not working.
When I go into System Preferences and click on Sound, it is not listed.
Can someone please give me a few suggestions for troubleshooting this problem?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi-
The system Preferences will show the output as headphones/built-in audio. You do have the Sound Sticks plugged into the audio port?
On one of the speakers, there are two chrome plates on either side of the port at the bottom of the speaker- one has a plus, one a minus. By touching one, or the other, you can raise, or lower the volume. make sure that you have the volume turned up, by touching the plus.

Harman Kardon Sound Sticks 2

Guys had mine 3 years and wham they have blown. Don't know why but they have. Firstly to have them fixed it's going to be a min charge of £35 plus carriage. So who knows how much they will be. Unless any one knows of a place in Brighton UK that can fix them I'm in the market for new speakers. Should I keep with the sticks or go for something else? I'd go to £130 MAX. This is what Apple charge for the sticks or Amazon at £90! Any advice please?

Hi JHS - I can't help ... but have the same problem, with a pretty similar set-up (2003 Soundsticks connected to an Intel iMac via USB) and started getting static problems after I disconnected everything to move my desk the other week. At first I thought it was from an online radio feed, but now realise that it's on iTunes and everything (stuff that used to sound crisp) ...
And it's starting to get really annoying ...

Headphones work! Sound Sticks won't! - Bad Plug Socket?

Hi Everyone,
When I plug my Harmon Kardon Sound Sticks into the external speaker output socket, NOTHING! But, if I stick the plug into the Headphone Output socket, I get sound. Not as loud and the HKs, but sound nonetheless. Also, when I go to System Preferences for SOUND - (with Sound Sticks plugged into Speaker jack socket) - the only choices on the menu are "Internal Speaker" (the HKs don't show up).
Bad internal connection? Anything I can reset and/or fix using some utitlity?
Hoping for a solution -- I miss my music!
All the Best,

Hmmmmm....they were working on my regular iMac G5 running Leopard, and they do work when I plug them into the headphone port...but not the External Speakers port. They don't even show up as a "selected device" in my sound panel preferences. When I plug them into the headphone port, they do okay...but not nearly as loud as my old computer (not an Intel Core Duo) did.
The only things that have been changed before this glitch is 1. Moved to a new iMac Intel Core Duo, and 2. went to Snow Leopard 10.6.3.
I plugged them into my old computer, and they worked okay again.
I'm thinking theres a broken solder joint, wire or other mechanical failure in that socket for external speakers. Unless you can think of something else, I guess I'm getting out the voltage meter, screw drivers and soldering iron!
Thanks for the prompt reply. Let me know what you think, okay?

A wireless usb device to connect to sound sticks?

Is there a wireless USB device that will connect to my harman kardon sound stick speakers? Does any body remember those nice speakers sold in apple stores that took up too much space beside your computer. I need a remote wireless device. Thanks in advance.

Connecting Express to Harmon/Kardon Soundsticks

Hi,
I am interested in the Airport Express but I have the original Harmon/Kardon Sounsticks. They connect to my Mac/iBook with a USB connection. Can I use the USB connector of the Express for these speakers or will I need an audio cable? Also, I have my printer and Soundsticks plugged into a USB multijack adaptor. Can I just plug that into the Express and use both the speakers and printer wirelessly, splitting the USB signal with the adaptor?
Thom

The only sound output on the Airport Express is the 3.5mm stereo/optical jack. The USB port will only recognise your printer and not USB speakers.

Can you connect the Apple TV to a Harmon Kardon receiver?

I have all my sound running through the harmon kardon receiver. I just don't know how I would connect it. would I put it through the input or output?

Optical input or analogue jack input inputs on the receiver.
If it accepts HDMI in you could try that too.
Audio is output simultaneously on all AppleTV outputs.

Just bought Harmon Kardon soundsticks III cannot get it to work on mac mini

Hi
Just purchased the Harmon Kardon soundsticks very nice looking but does not work with my mac mini. Connected it up as per manual instructions plugged it in line in cable to line in but no sound. Went into system preferences to check to see Input (Line In) Output (Internal Speakers), is there something I am not doing correctly. My other speakers which has decided to retire through old age was picked up perfectly. Can anyone help. Incidentally I am using an audio jack not usb.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for replying, I am unable to change to line out I have no options, the only way that I have been able to get t he speakers to work is by plugging into the headphone jack. Is it possible the sound card is broken?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated
Thanks

Harmon/kardon speaker problem in south korea

hello-
i have a set of harmon/kardon "champagne" speakers (model HK 695) that i bought a few years ago at the apple store. they have worked great since in the states and in turkey, where i had to convert the power source from 220v to 110v. i used a fairly large, plug-in-style converter that had a fuse b/c i was paranoid about blowing the speakers out (i found out later that the bass unit also has its own fuse).
this week i have moved to a new school in seoul, south korea and i have started to have some problems. when i plug the speakers in (with the power source converted to 110v) i get feedback, like wind blowing through the speakers. it doesn't matter if the jack is plugged in to the computer/ipod or not, there is a constant "whoosh-whooshing" sound that is driving me nuts.
what's going on? i haven't had a single problem in 4 years. i'm not very good with a/v stuff, so if anyone has any ideas as to what may be the problem, or more importantly, how to fix the problem, i would appreciate any help.
thanks,
jesse

i'm not sure if the outlets are grounded. it's a brand-new building, completes in may, designed to "western standards." i'll check with the electricians at the school to see if they know.
i've tried several things: different outlets, different converters, with other electronics around it and without. like i sais, no problems in the states or in turkey, where power surges are the norm. i'll check on the mh thing.
if this is the problem, how do i fix it?
thanks again,
jesse

How to connect 2 bose speakers from my Harmon kardon tuner ?

Hi all,I need some info on how to connect 2 bose speakers (30 serie)?connected to my tuner (harmon kardon)?to my sound card audigy2. Second, I will purchase soon x-fi xtrememusic sound card, will it be the sme way to connected as audigy2 ?Thanks.

Thanks Franktank,Is it right to assume that the "line out" on the sound card is a light green in color? (where you plug a set of headphone)?My Harmon Kardon is 6 years old, 80 watt rms per chanel, and it will be connected to the "AUX" in the back panel. Is the color red on the rca jack is the positi've? If so, I will plug it to the red "AUX" in the back of the receiver?Will this kind of connection will produce stereo sound? Is this the only way to plug 2 speakers on the sound card?Thanks.

HK Sound Sticks not found in sound preferences

I am no longer able to set my Harmon Kardon Soundsticks as my audio output device ... they cannot be found as an option in the system preferences. Was there some driver that Apple dropped from the Lion OS that needs to be manually installed? I can't find any info at the HK website for any such drivers. Thanks in advance for any info.

Hi, are these speakers Line level?
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

Buzzing on my harmon kardon speakers hooked up to headphone port

I have an Imac with Harmon Kardon soundsticksII. Today the speakers have a loud buzz when hooked up. Tested the speakers by plugging them into my Iphone and they sounded fine. I tried rebooting the computer , unhooking the speakers and checking all connections, and no change. The speakers make noise even when cpu is off just not as loud. The speakers do play music from the computer but with the loud buzz or humming noise as well. Same speakers and cpu have worked fine together for years, tried all the troubleshooting i can think of but no results. My friend said my headphone port was probably loose, don't know how that would happen and wouldn't know how to fix or replace the port itself. Side note, just went and got my headphones and plugged them in- no buzz but the sound quality *****, i'm wondering what do I do now 'cause it seems like it may be the port

Please check again to see if you have connected it correctly I had the same problem and found that I had connected it in the wrong port.
