Is it possible to use internal speakers with the headphones connected?

as the connection of headphones is on the back of the iMac, it would be very useful to be able to switch between the internal speakers and the headphones, without ever having to unplug the headphones from your Mac Is this possible?

Although it still means unplugging I bought one of these though I do use headphones very infrequently:

but at least I don't have to fiddle around the back of the mac and risk,in time, damaging the socket on the mac.
If you decide to purchase one, be careful where you buy from as there are Belkin imitations around ie eBay and indeed Amazon where the quality is suspect particularly if it only costs a couple of £s'. Bought mine from a renowned retailer with genuine Belkin blister pack.

  • Is it possible to use two speakers with one Apple Tv ?

    Hello everyone,
    I bought an Apple Tv and I have one apple express with a Bose speaker and a Bose Link Air speaker.
    I would like to see a movie using the two speakers but every time that I try to select two speakers in the airplay Apple Tv menu, it automatically deselect the other speaker.
    Is it possible to use two speakers in the same time ? ( I know it's possible with Itunes)
    Thank,
    Ps: I have the last Apple TV

    No, that is not possible with Apple TV. You can set one 'output' via Apple TV, and 'stream' to multiple speakers from iTunes or via the remote app.

  • Is it possible to use 2 displays with the mac mini

    is it possible to use 2 displays with the mac mini

    I wanted an extended desktop using 2 monitors.
    I am using a Dell Ultrasharp ( has 1 VGA and 1 DVI-D) and a LG W2286 (has 2 HDMI, 1 DVI-D and 1 VGA)
    I ran into a similar issue where initially the mac would not detect the 2 displays and I thought I would share my solution.  I have a Mac Mini 10.8.2 i7 Late 2012.
    I bought a "Cable Matters" brand Mini Display Port | Thunderbolt to DVI Male Cable to have dual monitors.
    I am also using the included in the box  HDMI to DVI-D Adapter from Apple.
    Initial configuration was:
    Mini-Display (Thunderbolt connector) to DVI connected to the LG DVI-D input.
    Apple HDMI to DVI Dongle connected to the Dell DVI-D input.
    What happened was that my desktop was on the LG clear as day but OSX did not see the dell monitor.
    I called apple support and they could not figure out why the mini cant see the dell monitor. I think I discovered that the mac mini could not support 2 dvi monitors.
    I switched the monitor connections.
    The connections that works:
    HDMI out to HDMI in on the LG using a standard HDMI cable.
    Display port | Thunderport to DVI-D on the Dell's DVI-D in.

  • Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?

    Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?  How do I do that?

    They have to be either plugged in via headphone jack or the dock port at the bottom. If you can. I've used it on apple tv, but that's it. I don't know if the others work, but I don't see why not. Try plugging in speakers in the headphone jack. You will get an answer :)

  • Is it possible to use a cable with two headphone jacks on either end and an electric guitar adapter to record in Garageband?

    Hey everyone,
    I got my Macbook Air (Mid 2013 model) last month and I want to record my acoustic-electric guitar on Garageband (which came with the Air). 
    I don't want to buy a guitar that has a USB. I have a cable with a 3.5 mm headphone jack on both ends like the one pictured here on this website http://www.bestdealaz.com/item.php?id=628 (i didn't buy it from this site though).
    I connected a 6.3 mm guitar adapter (http://www.ebay.com/bhp/headphone-guitar-adapter) to this cable. Then I connected one end of the cable to my guitar and the other end to the Headphone/Microphone jack on the left side of the MBA.
    I saw how other people were saying to go to System Preferences / Sound and then change audio output to audio input.
    I can't do that. I tried.
    Please help!
    Thank you.

    Hello Massimo Pascucci,
    The issue that you are facing when creating an endpoint with internal loadbalancer is the limitation of not allowing same ports to be listening under a single cloud service. This reason for this is that there is a limitation of only one private IP (Also
    known as the Internal load balanced IP) per cloud service.
    There is also a limitation on the Internal load balancer more than one port to be published per load balancer:

  • Is it possible to use Remote SharedObjects with the LCDS server?

    Hello,
    The ActionScript documentation for Remote SharedObject
    RSOs are created using the static getRemote function.  This returns a reference to an object that can be shared across multiple  clients by means of a server, such as Flash Media Server. If the shared  object does not already exist, this method creates one.
    The following code shows how you assign the returned shared object reference to a variable:
    var myRemote_so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getRemote(name, remotePath, persistence);After calling this method, use SharedObject.connect() to connect the  object to the application server, as shown in the following code
    var myNC:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    myNC.connect(“rtmp://[yourDomain].com/applicationName”);
    var myRemoteSO:SharedObject = SharedObject.getRemote(“mo”, myNC.uri, false);
    myRemoteSO.connect(myNC);
    To confirm that the local and remote copies of the shared object are synchronized, use the sync event.
    All clients that want to share this object must pass the same values for the name and remotePath parameters.
    Is it possible to create RSO's using the LCDS server instead of the Flash Media Server? If so, how?
    Thanks,
    Oscar

    Tom,
    Thanks for your response. I decided to test this with the publish/subscribe messaging. Something I thought would work is not. Here is the simple example;
                    var btn:Button = new Button();
                    btn.label = "My Button ";
                    msg = new AsyncMessage();
                    msg.body = btn;
                    producer.send(msg);              
    Simple right? Well, this generates a fault;
    1/21/2011 10:37:55.462 [ERROR] mx.messaging.Producer 'D7094E2F-2CA1-39C0-1EC6-A9DE3171E836' producer fault for 'A11AE369-8349-8970-0C10-A9DE5113DA2E'.
    The LCDS log gets into more detail, AMF Deserialization ERROR....

  • Is it possible to use Backup Assistant with the Kin One?

    I just got my new Kin One last night.  I've never used Backup Assistant before but I wanted to start now.  Unfortunately, the instructions for downloading the tool only seem to include phones with the "Get it Now" feature.  I can't find anything remotely like that in my phone's settings.  Am I overlooking it or does it simply not exist as an option for this phone?  I have a lot of contacts to enter and I hate to think that I'd have to do it all over again if something went wrong with the thing.
    Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can offer! 

    Sorry, Backup Assistant doesn't work with the Kin Onem. Some customers have had luck with getting a Verizon store to transfer them, but it seems to be hit or miss, as not every store has the software it needs for this particular device. Otherwise, consider this an opportunity to weed out old contacts as you enter them manually. 

  • IMac Internal Speakers WITH Audio Out

    I have a stereo hooked up to my iMac and everything sounds great. What I'm wondering is this. Is there a way to have sound come out of BOTH the internal speakers and the headphone/audio out jack? I haven't found a simple soultion obviosuly, but is there any kind of work around? I know can buy a pair of external speakers and all would be fine. But I'd like to not take away from the output of the headphone jack. So then I was wondering if I cannot have the internal speakers work in conjunction with the headphone jack, if I get a pair of firewire or USB speakers so as to not take away from the headphone jack, will they even work since I have something plugged into the headphone jack? I'm guessing they would still work since they are independent from the jack, but I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    For this first I want to swap the 1999FY partition out with an external table and then swap them back to HISTORY table.
    Please help me by providing a sample script for that.
    >
    It seems to me that you use the term "external table" in a wrong context. External table means a flat file, accessed as db object with select.
    But probably, for you "external table" is a normal table that may hold the same structured data as a partition of another table does.
    We have a feature for your requirement called "exchange partition with table".

  • IMac audio - how to use internal speakers instead of digital out

    Hi. i have my audio system connected to my imac with a toslink cable which works great.
    however in certain cases such as in the evening i do not need to use my surround sound system.
    how can i use just the internal speakers without physically disconnecting the cable at the back???

    I don't think there is a way to do that, unfortunately. However, I don't use the optical output capability (just analog), so it may be different.
    If System Preferences Sound pane Output tab does not have the option to switch to the built-in speakers, also try running Audio Midi Setup in Applications/Utilities/. That utility provides more control options for audio than System Preferences. But, I have a feeling you will not be able switch to internal speakers if anything is connected to the audio output port.
    One thing you can do is get a USB sound device, like the iMic from Griffin Tech.
    http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic
    Connect some small powered external speakers to the iMic's output. Because it is a USB audio device, it should appear separately in System Preferences Sound pane Output tab. Then you can switch the output between the digital optical and USB device without disconnecting anything.

  • No sound using internal speakers, but I have sound using headphones

    I just finished installing archlinux with GNOME3 on a laptop, everything were perfect until I detected a problem: I only have sound using headphones, the internal speakers of the computer doesn't work. I followed the official wiki step by step and I never had this problem using other linux distributions.
    Any idea?

    I'm having the very same issue. Each time I boot computer I have to unmute the speaker in order to have sound. Only the headphones are unmuted by default. From what I understand alsa-store and alsa-restore are supposed to run automatically on boot and shutdown only (normally they appear in inactive/dead state).
    I have tried to run 'alsactl store', but this won't help.
    The whole thing start happening only recently (late December). I have arch on this laptop for over 3 years and it was fine as far as I remember.
    EDIT:
    I have just found that this issue is due to pulseaudio 2.1 -> 3.0 upgrade. After downgrading to 2.1 it works as expected.
    EDIT2:
    Maybe you will find that useful, a temporary "fix". I have added to startup applications (in my case in gnome-session-properties):
    amixer -c 0 sset Speaker Playback 95%
    which just simply sets the speaker volume to 95% each time I log in.

  • Is it possible to use variant configuration (with a Non-SAP solution) when creating ERP sales orders in SAP CRM WebUI

    Hello,
    our customer plans to use a Non-SAP solution for variant configuration (Camos) in SAP ERP (ECC 6.0) and in SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1 as well.
    ERP sales orders (and ERP quotations) should be created in SAP CRM (CRM WebUI).
    Is it possible to use variant configuration (with an external variant configuration tool) when creating ERP sales orders and quotations in the SAP CRM WebUI or do we have to implement SAP IPC for this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    AEV

    Dear AEV,
    I think LORD (lean orders) should work with variant configuration as well. In the note 1236015 there is not restriction listed. However you need lord2 activated in ECC, and ECC system should be on EHP4.
    Best regards
