Lightning connector for audio out

I have a DJ app on my IPAD Air which uses a split cue audio out lead from the headphone jack in order to cue music separately from the main mix. This works fine but I would prefer to use Airplay wireless to the speakers. If I then connect the headphone jack it disables airplay.
My question is, can the Lightning connector be used to transfer audio in which case I can use it for the headphone connection via suitable leads.
I don't mind using an 8 pin to 30 pin adapter if that's the way to go but not all these work for audio.
Any suggestions on lead combinations would be appreciated. Thanks

What Kind Of Connectors for Audio Out?

My Mac Pro is a 2-2.8g Quad, and it's kind of in a position right now where I can't clearly see, so can anyone tell me what kind of connector I need to grab the audio out (NOT DIGITAL) and connect it to another device?
Thanks
Tom

These are Stereo-capable.
Stereo jacks have a tip and two rings.
Mono jacks the same size and shape have one tip contact and only one ring contact.

Blue Tooth paired but SONY DR-BT50 HEADPHONES not connecting for audio out of iTunes

Blue Tooth paired but SONY DR-BT50 HEADPHONES not connecting for audio out of iMac
Running Lion on intel based 27" Jan 2012 machine
The Sony Bluetooth Headphones work well with iPhone 3Gs for music and phone but I cannot get audio out of the Desk Top Machine eventhough the headphones are paired - they do not seem to connect. I have selected them as audio out phones in Blue Tooth options but nada. Any thoughts?
Thanks, iMac1ejf

Do they show up in your SOUND preferences?...

The lightning connector for the iPod touch 5th Generation jiggles

The lightning connector for the iPod touch 5th Generation jiggles just slightly up and down in the iPod itself. I think the lightning connector is slightly smaller than the port which is why it jiggles, but I am not sure. Can you guys confirm my theory, or did I damage it.
Thanks for any help.

Could be either.
Try another cable
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

What kind of audio interface do I need for audio out from MainStage 3?

I have a Yamaha MO8 that I use for playing in the worship band at my church. In the past, I've just directly routed audio from the MO8 through a direct box and into the sound system.
I'm looking to switch my setup and use the Yamaha MO8 as a midi controller in MainStage 3. I have this part working — the problem is getting the audio from my MacBook Pro.
The audio output sounds fine through the MacBook Pro speakers or through headphones plugged into the audio out / headphone jack; however, if I plug the direct box into the MacBook Pro's audio out / headphone jack, the signal the sound system gets is very pretty weak and very distorted.
I'm assuming I need an audio interface between my MacBook Pro and the direct box / sound system. Since it's a 2010 MacBook Pro, I'm assuming my only output option is USB (unless the digital audio out can be used). If that's correct, would something like the Scarlet 2i2 work for me?
Thanks…

Yes, you'll need some sort of audio interface to get a good signal back to your mixer.
The Scarlet 2i2 would work for you but you may find a few limitations. I use a MOTU Audio Express and it has the advantage of being a mixer as well, so I can mix in a backup signal from the onboard audio outs of my controller (Kurzweil PC3x) in case MainStage goes down (it happens on rare occasion). Firewire is my preference so the MOTU checks that box. I also like that I can connect my MIDI cables to the MOTU and have one cable going into the computer.
If you need this sort of compact redundancy, I would shoot a little higher than the Scarlet. If you don't feel the need for a backup line and USB works for you, then the Scarlet unit would be an excellent value.

New-BE help needed for audio out

No matter what I try I can't seem to get audio to come out of FCE... The VU meter in the program shows there is signal present but no matter what I try (changing audio out in system prefs..) I hear no audio. I have a Digidesign 002 rack (I'm moving into video in a ProTools based audio studio) which is firewire. I use an ADVC-100 to import my video from various sources also firewire. If I switch to line out (in sys prefs) still nothing. I've had the program for 5 weeks and I cant use it.
BTW I exported a lesson (Apple Pro Training Tutorial) and it played back in Quick time and the audio was fine.
I'm at a loss.... and I'm starting to feel stoopid.....
Dave
FCE is the ONLY program that doesn't output the audio.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Try this. From within FCE, select View>Video Out>Canvas Playback.

Does ATV2 need a particular cable for Audio out?

Hi
I'm attempting to run ATV2 to a Sony STR-DH520 Receiver and my TV
TV is fine on the HDMI but audio out via an optical cable is failing
Do I need a particular type of cable? - I picked up a cambridge audio D321 in the store where I got the reciever
Thanks

Also check your settings for your receiver to ensure it is set for the audio from it's optical audio input. Some receivers use both an analog and digital for one input or allow you to set the digital in to any one of it's input settings.

Airport express has a port for audio out that says optical?

So I just got my Airport Express and want to use it to Airplay to my stereo. It has a minijack for that, but in the setup guide it talks about optical output. I don't understand minijack and optical in the same hole. I don't want to break it jamming the wrong thing in there. Can anybody enlighten me?

Either an analog 3.5mm stereo mini plug will fit in the audio port.....or....a mini Toslink optical digital plug will fit very nicely in the audio port.
If you plug a 3.5mm stereo mini plug in the audio port, an analog audio signal will be delivered to your amp/speakers.
If you plug a mini Toslink plug in, an optical digital signal will be sent to your amp/speakers
The audio port on the AirPort Express is smart. It knows what kind of plug is connected, so it knows whether to send an analog signal or a digital signal.

What's the best solution for audio out of sound files from a MacBook Air to both an amplifier and to a subwoofer amplifier? I'm using the MBA to play sound files for worship services at our church.

I have a MacBook Air (13", 1.7GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD) that I'll be using to play sound files (primarily organ and piano) for worship services at my church. We'll be using a QSC RMX2450 650 Watts/Channel amplifier with Community CPL-27 speakers and also a JBL SUB 250P powered subwoofer with its own amplifier. What's the best option for getting sound out from the Mac to both of these amplifiers?

if you work with own recorded sounds you might wanna have a music program where you want to work with samples, steinberg has got very good ones (so they say)... but their really really ( ²) expensive(that's why almost no one haves them), magix haves good ones too bu their more for 'unprofessional' use, ableton haves really good ones too and they're not to difficult to use (if you know a bit of those programs you learn very quickly) and if you don't get them, there is a sort of manual built in it which explains and lets you do things to start (basics)
i hope this helped, btw stereo speakers are always better if you buy good ones (no pc speakers), but if you don't think you need them, don't buy them...
so again, i hope you have some ideas now

USB for Audio Out

I am looking at buying a Bose Companion speaker system. The Bose Companion Series 5 plays music through a USB connection. If I connect the speakers via USB on the Airport Express will it output audio through this connection via iTunes?
Thanks,

Thank you for the extremely fast and quick response...

Audio/usb cable with lightning connector?

my car stereo came with a cable that has the 30 pin connector on one end, and the other end splits into two cords: aux and usb. that is the only way I can operate my iphone using the controls on the car stereo. the trouble is, I can't find a version of this cord with a lightning connector for my new iphone. as for adapters, most are so big I will have to take off my phone case, and some of them look like they might not support audio anyway.
I tried plugging in a separate aux cord and lightning cord into my stereo at the same time, but that doesn't work. I tried using bluetooth or just the aux cable only, and that won't work for me because I listen to podcasts in the car and siri won't control the podcasts app (a whole other irritation, btw).
I need an adapter like this, which will fit with my phone case on:
but every single version I've found has gotten terrible reviews. my question is: where can I get a dual usb/aux cable with a lightning connector, OR where can I get a decent adapter like the one in the photo above?

Talk to your dealer (car dealer, that is). Or try a lighting to 30 pin adapter available from Apple.

My D800 SD card is not recognized by my new IPad. I have the lightning connector and tried but RAW and small Jpeg files...nothing!! Why not?

Cant use my IPad lightning connector for SD card with D800 even though I have tried RAW and increasingly smaller files with JPEG. Nothing works...HOw can that be that the files are recognized on a Mac but worthless for using an IPad??

Did you already have a look at this article?

HT4806 Mac mini digital audio out through the headphone jack

I'm misled by this sentence for audio out port from the support page: "For digital audio, you can use Apple iPhone headset with microphone".
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5539
It is there for all mac minis starting from 2010 model.
Does it mean electrical digital signal? Any chance to get S/PDIF coaxial signal?

If an optical signal is OK, you just need one of these:

To convert the optical signal to a co-ax one will need a more complex/expensive convertor.

Version 1.1 and audio out via USB problem

When I attempt to use headphones to assist editing, I prefer to use the m-audio USB transit and set my sound preferences for the iMac accordingly, but STP in my case does not work at all. Instead, I hear clicking ( about 1 sec intervals), followed by STP freeze and unless I force quit, my system freezes.
If, on the other hand, I use digital out, or a FW interface or the iMac's speakers, all is well.
I am more than mystified since FC readily works with the USB pathway with video/audio , thus allowing me to use the FW ports on this limited platform.
I have trashed STPs preferences without any result. I also cannot find (or do not know where to look for) STPs specific preferences for audio out. I apologize in advance for failing to find the reference in the manual, if that is where it is and those settings are the issue.
Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

At the risk of seeming to be talking to myself, I can report that I have found a solution to the problem I posted. To be more precise, Apple did,some time ago.

Help with audio out when plugging into 3.5" jack on a MacBook's combo input

With my old iMac, I used to plug my guitar into the 3.5" microphone jack* and either used the computer's speakers or plug headphones into the separate headphone port for audio out.
Now I have MacBook Air with a headphone/mic combo port. I checked the sound settings in System Preferences and couldn't select speakers for external audio. Is there a way to assign audio-out to the speakers and keep audio-in assigned to the mic/headphone port? Or am I going to need to buy some dongle or adapter now?
*How did I connect a guitar to the 3.5" port? I used a generic computer speaker wire (3.5" on each side) and plugged a 3.5" to 1" adapter (the kind you use for stereo headphones) into the guitar.

Hi Tim -
Please bear with me because I am no Apple expert. However, I do remember reading something that might help you out.
You wrote that you store your sound libraries are installed on an external drive. Someone, who posted either here or on another Logic bulletin board, basically stated that problems may occur if an external hard disk drive that carries the sound libraries is FAT32 or NTFS formatted (formatted for a Windows-based computer). Apparently, an external hard disk drive utilized for sound libraries should be formatted as *Mac OS Extended* (not journaled). (I hope that someone more expert on this subject will either validate this claim or suggest another option.)
Try doing a Search in this forum for more information on this subject. But I think how that external drive is formatted might make a difference on performance for the Mac computer.
I come from the PC world as well. I like both the Apple and PC systems. But I really like working with the Logic program.
Good luck to you
Ted
