IN SL can't get chime to play thru external speakers

In 10.5 all my computer's sounds were set to be played thru external speakers. Now I can't get the startup chime to do it as it only plays thru the INTERNAL.
Any reason?

Older Macs could play the startup chime through external speakers plugged into the headphone socket; but from a few years back this changed and on modern Macs the chime always comes from the built-in speakers.

  • 3rd gen ATV, music on a Seagate GoFlexHome drive.  How can I get music to play thru ATV

    Would rather not also add all the music to itunes on my MacBook Air.  The ATV easily recognized the photos stored on the GoFlexHome and those are already coming up on the ATV - no place to add the directory for the goflex folder since the ATV also does not come up as a device in iTunes.
    Am using all the most recent versions itunes and software is up to date on the ATV.

    it's a question how your itunes settings are
    in preferences ->advanced
    uncheck the copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library
    then when ever you add media to your itunes lib you just add a link and the media stay where it is

  • How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.

    How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.
    I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
    I get video every time.  HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
    just no audio.  Any suggestions? 
    I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
    I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

    Claudiamil-
    I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did.  I'm using a small Vizio HDTV.  I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers.  In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
    I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down.  Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Can't get ipod to play a podcast a second time

    Help!
    I have no trouble getting and playing podcasts on my ipod mini, but once I finish listening to the podcast, it dissapears from the ipod and will not reload back on the ipod no matter what I've tried.
    The podcasts are still in iTunes and will play in iTunes, I just can't get them to play again on the ipod.
    I don't have fast connection, so I'd rather not reload them.
    I'm using iTune 5 iPod 1.4.
    Thank you,

    Hi. I have the Apple connector kit...and actually played Garageband via my M-Audio Oxygen 25-keyboard thru  my iPad2--without a powered hub. 
    But that was two month ago.
      Now...I can't get it to play--with volume.   I can hear the notes...but faintly.  And I have pushed ALL possible volume controls up (Keyboard & iPad). 
      I know the keyboard is triggering, because I tested it on a MacBook: got full volume, just like before.
      But just can't get full volume from the iPad2.  I got a 4-port USB hub...and tried interfacing it between the keyboard and the connector kit/iPad2.  But still no volume.  It's almost like a switch is off in the iPad???
      Any help would be appreciated.  Dan

    hello again,
    i didn't really dare to delete the blue home folders before, just in case everything went wrong, but now i think i have so little space that i can't afford to lose 2.25gb!
    one thing that slightly worries me is the fact that the 'proper' library folder (in the home icon) is 2.09gb, whereas the 'wrong' one (from the blue folder forenamesurname) is 2.24gb - this is the one i would be deleting. just seems odd to delete a larger file than the one i presume i'm using.
    "Move everything you want to keep out of the blue folders, and then place both of the folders on your desktop. If everything works properly after a few days, delete both folders. If you are asked for your administrator password at any point or if either folder is copied instead of moved when dragged, don't delete that folder."
    by 'everything you want to keep', does this include the library folder? 'cause there doesn't seem to be much else, and i'm not sure if deleting the library folder would ruin all my preferences.
    i've put both of the folders on the desktop, it didn't ask for the admin password or try to copy them, so i guess that's good news. what kind of things should i be looking out for to act differently?
    are the folders not in use now that they are on the desktop?
    also if i put them in the trash will they have no effect? i.e. the same as permanently deleting them, so i could put them in the trash as a test.
    cheers, stephen.

  • Can't get game to play so deleted it.   now can't reinstall.     says it is installed

    can't get game to play so deleted it.   now can't reinstall.     says it is installed

    If you type in its name on the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right) does that find it ?
    If it doesn't then have you tried a reset to see if the game then shows on the iPad's homescreen, or as not installed in the App Store app, after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
