IMac doesn't deliver sound via BOSE active speakers. Why?

Tried to connect my imac with the BOSE Companion 2 active Speakers, as i always did before. Since i moved here i was too lazy to set it up again. Now i wanted to but theres no sound. Boxes have energy, the two are connected to each other and the cinch cable is connected with the imac, but it still plays sound via the integrated speakers and i cannot change this. Theres nothing to choose in the settings but play sounds via the integrated speakers. Why??

Make sure you have connected the audio cable's mini plug to the audio output jack on the iMac & not to the iMac's audio input jack & that the plug is fully inserted.

My phone no longer outputs any sound via it's speakers

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3
My phone no longer outputs any sound via it's speakers. I can hear sound with headphones and also if it is connected by the dock connector it will output sound to whatever it is connected to.
I have tried plugging and unplugging headphones several times thinking that it is stuck in headphone mode but that did not resolve the problem. I tried a factory reset in case it was software related but that didn't fix it either. The phone is out of warranty.
Thanks.

Bring your phone to Apple for out of warranty replacement. In the US this will cost $199.

For 1/11/11 expert day: can hear sounds on headphones but no sound via the internal speakers

HP Pavilion dv6135nr Notebook internal speakers have stopped working. I can hear sounds on headphones but no sound via the internal speakers. A search on HP customer care for my notebook yielded the download recommendation below, even though I had not stated my problem. However, executing this download did NOT resolve the problem. Please advise regarding resolution to inoperable speakers. I do not know if all of my sound and audio settings are correct, but the mute is not on and the volume controls are properly set. The default device is Conexant High Definition Audio output, per the sound and audio devices properties hardware tab the device status states "this device is working properly." Is it possible that a Skype or Foxfire update is in conflict with this device? If so, how do I resolve this situation?
Thank you.

Re: Fixes issue where the notebook speakers do not work after headphones or earphones are used for a while and then unplugged.
HOW DO YOU FIX THIS?? I cannot find the correct Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver for High Definition Audio that works with my computer...
My computer:
VISTA
HP Compaq 2230s Notebook PC
Everytime I use my headphones for more than an hour or two, the **bleep** audio will not play on my notebook's speakers, just through the headphones. Usually restarting a few times resolves the problem, but not this time. If I knew that HP computers sucked this much I would never have spent so much money on this one!!!
Can you please tell me how to fix this problem once and for all? Thanks!!

My new iMac doesn't have sound, what can I do? I'm new with mac

My new iMack doesn't have sound, what can I do? I'm new with Mac

What do you mean it doesn't have sound? If it's a new machine call AppleCare, you have 90 days of support via telephone and can find the number in your owner's manual.
I'd also STRONGLY suggest you book mark and begin using:

IMac doesn't receive files via bluetooth

I have a Bluetooth dongle in the USB port. It shows in Profiler. I can send files from the i MAc to my Powerbook but can't send files from the PB to the iMac. Bluetooth icons are on and the iMac is able to use wireless keyboard and mouse.
When I try to send files from the Powerbook an erro message says the iMAc "doesn't have the necessary services."

What is your computer OS

Play DVD with audio sound via Airport Express speakers

Is it possible to play my DVD with audio sound via my Airport Express speakers?
I can play music with iTunes trough these speakers, it would be nice if I can hear my DVDs aswell.
iMac intel core duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Not using Front Row.
The real issue here is that audio and video stream at different speeds and it is hard to maintain sync. You know how when you hit play within iTunes it takes a while for the song to start through the speakers? It's the same with the DVD. So you'd need to work an offset into the audio when playing a DVD and it's not an exact science.
You can download VLC player and mess around with the offset, then you'll also need a program like Airfoil to be able to force audio through the airport express.
Good luck!

MiniDP port doesn't play sound via HDMI

I have connected it from the computer to the HD tv, and the video works. But the sound will not transfer, The sound preferences doesn't show any outputs but the internal speakers, and I checked the MIDI setup Utility, and it also did not show it as an option.

Hi, guidino. I have a late-2008 unibody MBP like yours, and I don't expect Apple will ever enable our mini-Displayports to output audio signals. But there are adapters that will combine audio and video signals from our machines into a single HDMI cable and resolve the problem you describe in your post. Here are three:
This one draws 5.1-channel optical digital audio from the headphone port and power from a USB port:

This one draws 2-channel stereo audio from a USB port:
http://kanexlive.com/products/item-id-3323.html
This is similar to the first one linked above, but less expensive:

I don't know where you are located, but you should be able to find these adapters or similar ones somewhere near you, or at an online vendor who ships to your country.

No sound on Bose outdoor speakers through Apple TV

My Apple TV is connected with a HDMI cable to my Bose V25 Lifestyle set. I can play my music on my iMac or on the speakers of Bose V25 (iTunes control button). For outdoor use I have connected a Bose 251 outdoor expansion package for Lifestyle V25 (two 251 speakers, SA-3 amplifier and a RC-35S2 expansion remote). This outdoor system is connected to the V25 in the proper way. When I want to listen to my iMac music on my outdoor speakers I don't get any sound. Do I have to buy a separate optical audio to analaog cable to resolve this problem or should only the HDMI cable work?
Excuse me for my English, I am Dutch.

Try turning of Dolby Digital on Apple TV.

Thanks for the opportunity to try to help you resolve your Premiere Elements issue. But first we must establish that you are using Premiere Elements 12. The reason for asking for that confirmation targets the "PE12 CC" that you indicate as your program. There is no Premiere Elements 12 CC" The CC designation, as far as I have ever seen, goes to the Creative Suite products.
Assuming you are using Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer....
1. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 12? Have you updated to 12.1 via the program's Help Menu/Update? Also, check under Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to verify that you have QuickTime presets.
Let me cut to what I believe the problem to be...I am guessing that you have music files with iTunes origin. Whatever the case
a. Open iTune and go to the Edit Menu/Preferences/General and click on the Import Settings tab there.
b. In the Import Settings dialog that appears, next to "Import Using" set for WAV Encoder. OK out of there.
c. Import your file into iTunes, using File Menu/Add File to Library.
d. In iTune Music, right click the imported file and select "Create WAV Version".
e. Copy the .wav version produced and then paste it to the desktop computer.
f. From the desktop computer, import this .wav file into Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, using Add Media/Files and Folders.
Please let us know the outcome. If this an iTunes music issue, please be advised that this situation happens in Premiere Elements (any version). If I have not targeted your question, please supply more details.
Thanks.

No sound via mini display to HDMI connector

Hi all,
I have the i7 8G ram version of the X1 Carbon (UK version) and love it. The only issue I have with it is in relation to the mini display port. I use a lot of HDMI equipment so immediately bought the mini display to HDMI connector from Grifin, see http://store.griffintechnology.com/video-display-converter but whilst video exports fine no sound is being output via the HDMI cable and end up sound via the X1 speakers which are great for personal use but useless in a large room full of people.
I already contacted Griffin support and they quickly referred me to Lenovo.
All help much appreciated.
Ben
Solved!
Go to Solution.

BenEadir,
When you have a video or sound file playing, go to Control Panel, Sounds, Manage Audio Devices.
Then when you are in Manage Audio Devices, you will se a list of devices and the external device/TV your mini display port is connected to as one of the options. Just choose the one you want and set it as your default audio device and the sound should automatically go to the selected device.
Let me know if this works for you.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,
Catie

Cannot get sound through my surround sound tv - only pictures - sound works fine through tv speakers - why is this?

Apple TV is working for pictures and sound via my television speakers but I cannot get sound via my surround sound speakers with HDMI or an Optical Lead.
Anyone care to advise me what I may have done wrong in the connections?

If you have connected your TV by HDMI via your receiver and you get sound from your TV but not your receiver then the problem must lie within your receiver or its settings. Check the manual to ensure you have selected the correct settings for it.

After you install Apple driver to enable the audio chip, YOU then need to manually download and install (Cirrus or Realtek audio depending on the Mac).

There is a forum specifically for Boot Camp & MS Windows users. Because that is where the Boot Camp guru's hang out I'd recommend re-posting there.

Just upgraded my 2014 iMac to yosemite. Now my Bose sound link won't work. The bluetooth is connected and it beeps as normal, just no sound comes from the speaker. This is very frustrating (along with the now flat rather than 3D icons on the desktop)

I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

How do I deliver sound from mixer into other applications without latency?

I've got a mixer delivering audio into my Thunderbolt port. I want to take the mixed audio, on channels 15 and 16, and input those into VOIP app and video recording apps. I'm using LineIn and Soundflower to accomplish this. However, LineIn is adding in a lot of latency which is a big problem for the kinds of recordings I'm doing.
What are professionals out there using to minimize this latency?

I have the same problem as Ham. I can't see the context menu for sound.
I saw that context menu in the video that Sudarshan mentioned, but it's not in my Photoshop CS6, where - like Ham experienced - i only see a context menu for Motion.
Just as Ham, i do see the sound context menu at the beginning of my work. I even got to clips in a project where one clip offers sound editing, the other doesn't.
Clips where sound can be edited appear as a blue bar. Clips where sound cannot be edit appear as a violet bar. Even if i add an MP3, it appears as a violet bar, so sound cannot be edited while motion editing is offered. I also tried to dampen the sound via the opacity control in the layer panel, but it didn't work.
I already created a complicated project out of 6 clips. I can't restart now to edit audio before anything else.
Is there any way to get audio editing (in the limited way that's part of Photoshop CS6 sometimes) in ALL clips within a project?
Thanks!
