  • How to connect Digital Optical Audio output iMac with Receiver Input

    I have connected iMac with onkyo hts-3300 home theater system receiver through optical audio TosLink Cable.( http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Optical-Audio-TosLink-Cable/dp/B001ZU3G2I/ref=sr12?ie=UTF8&qid=1292865309&sr=8-2 ). Unfortunately there is no sound coming out from the Home theater system. I have verified the Receiver optical input is working fine by connecting with my TV optical audio digital out put and the it's working great. The only difference between TV and iMac is, on my TV, it has optical audio digital output and I can use this cable (http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-A102-02M-Digital-connectors/dp/B0002WPREU/ref=s r11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1297320792&sr=1-1) to make it work. I can also verified my optical audio TosLink Cable working because I can see the red light coming out from the cable. So the only problem could be from iMac. I doubt I need to change the additional setting to configure iMac to use external optical audio setting instead of the buit in audio setting. Hoe can I able to do it? or my iMac(IMAC 21.5"/3.06/2X2GB/500GB/9400M-ITP
    MB950ZP/A) doesn't support optical digital audio out put? I have follow this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12769423&#12769423 and to my surprise which doesn't work out for me. I doubt that i need to change some setting, but when I got to setting>> sound I cannot change any setting. I was quite depressed aldy. Can someone answer my question as i m a newbie here. Thanks a lot

    Thank you very much for your reply.
    @Király : May i know how to Open Audio Midi Setup? Is this Audio Midi Setup is in the locatated in the Setting in Mac Snow Leapord OS? or how to locate this "Audio Midi Setup " in Mac enviroment. Is it possible to open this Audio Midi Setup in windows 7 enviroment also? I Just want to get the audio from my iMac in Hts-3300 onkyo home theatre. YOur help is much appreciated
    @rkaufmann87 : Thank you very much for your sharing about this http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/ connection. for me what i understand is the digital audio output in airportexpress is the same as the audio out put in iMac in terms of details sepcs. So this airportexpress will only help you connect wirelessly to home theatre system, rather than waired connection. Other than that nothig much difference. So there is no point for me to spend extra bucks to attain the wireless connection. Unless the airportexpress have optical digital input, which i believe not. Correct me if I m worng, thanks

  • Using MacBook Pro as Digital Optical Audio bridge...

    I have an idea for my MacBook Pro, but I'd like to know if it's feasible before I go and buy what I'd need to test my plan:
    I have an Xbox 360 with digital optical audio out (TOSlink), and I have a MacBook Pro with digital optical audio in (through the 3.5mm minijack on the side. So far I'm A-OK.
    Now, I'd like to know if I can have the Xbox's output go into the MacBook Pro's input, and route that audio signal through the MacBook Pro to either (a) the stereo output of the MacBook Pro, or (b) (preferred) my 5.1 decoder on my Griffin FireWave.
    Every time I use the Xbox, I have to unplug the audio from my speakers to the Griffin FireWave, and that's a pain because the wires are all behind my desk. If I could route the audio through my MacBook Pro, then everything would be perfect. Is this possible?
    And if this isn't possible, can I use an old iMic adapter I have laying around to route the audio through the MBP?
    Thanks for your help!

    I found a program called LineIn that allows 'software audio pass through in to out,' but I don't think this will pass the 5.1 channel audio through to my FireWire-connected Griffin Firewave.
    Does anyone know of any way this can be done? Do you think the Audio/MIDI Setup Utility application can be of any use with this? Or is there a way to pass the digital signal straight through to the Griffin?

  • Can you run SQL in the portal and create a drop down list??

    Can anyone tell me if its possible to create a drop down list using sql in the portal?

    Can't buy songs? No "Buy" option in drop down menu under price? Can add to wish list but not download to IPOD

    Hey tomfromphoenixville,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you do not see the option to buy a song from the iPod. Are you trying to buy the song in iTunes on Windows or from the iPod? I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • Hi, I just installed CS6 master collection from order history and when I try to enter Serial Number it tells me that: Serial number you provided is valid, but qualifying product can not be found on this computer. Then it gives me options under drop down m

    Hi, I just installed CS6 master collection from order history and when I try to enter Serial Number it tells me that: Serial number you provided is valid, but qualifying product can not be found on this computer. Then it gives me options under drop down menu but Master Collection CS6 is the only one not appearing in a drop down menu.

    Your CS6 must have been purchased as an upgrade.  What it is asking you to select/provide is the name/serial number of the previous version you purchased that qualifies you to install and activate the CS6 upgrade version... this would be likely be one of CS3 thru CS5.5.

  • Can't find ProPhoto RGB in drop down list in Color Settings

    I am trying to change my Color Settings in PSCS4 in Windows 7 64 bit computer.  I am printing in Lightroom so would like to change my Color Settings in PSCS4 from Adobe RGB to ProPhoto RGB.  When I go to the Color Settings Dialog Box in CS4 and go to Working Spaces, the drop down list choices under RGB do not include ProPhoto RGB.   They just include Adobe RGB, Color Match RGB, Monitor RGB, Apple RGB and sRGB.  I am not given the choice of ProPhoto RGB. 
    What am I missing here?
    How can I change my Color Settings to Adobe ProPhoto RGB in Windows 7 64 bit computer using PSCS4?
    Thanks,
    Matthew Kraus

    Well it appears in the drop-down list in my
    Settings dialog using Vista 64.
    Have you updated CS4 to version 11.0.1?
    You could also try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • I use the google search bar for everything and since downloading FF4 i can not select any of the suggestions in the google drop down menu

    I use the google search bar for everything and since downloading FF4 i can not select any of the suggestions in the google drop down menu.
    I have tried to select one of the suggestions that google give me for my search but FF it wont let me. I have type everything out in full. I hate FF4 it is rubbish. I loved firefox before this one came out but now I am seriously thinking of going over to google chrome.

    Many thanks for the prompt reply, ideato.
    One of the reasons I abandoned Chrome in favour of Firefox was due to the "black band of doom" that appears on the top of the Google page - so setting up my homepage to google.co.uk just puts that back in the ugly spotlight.
    I was, though, pleasantly surprised to see a Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page (without the black band and Google options that I am just not interested in) but bitterly disappointed that it is Google.fr (due to my ISP being French).

  • Digital (optical) audio jerks on and off every second or so

    Sudenly got this annoying problem, when sound on optical audio cuts off and on again repeatedly every second or so. As if there was a wire with bad connection. The optical cable is fine thou, i checked with my other macbook.
    So that must be a problem with my main macbook. I restarted it in hope that its just a software glirch, but the problem remains.
    Sound from MBs speakers ir fine.
    What to do?

    Now there is no sound at all. When i connect optical toslink there is no sound. When i connect usual 3.5mm jack to analog system, it sounds ok.
    I can see the red light, but there is no sound. What could it be? Software or hardware problem?
