Loop AUX input to USB headphones

Hi, I've got an xbox 360 hooked up to my computer monitor DVI (HDMI adapter) and I've got the sound coming out through analogue RCA, which I've adapter to a 3.5mm mini plug and plugged into the line in on my sound card in the computer. Can I make the sound come out through my USB headset? Clearly I'd need no noticeable delay in sound for games.

The 5-pole jack is compatible with 3/4-pole accessories (you can for example connect standard headphones without a microphone) but i remember a case where a user had a cable where the size of each pole was different compared to other 3-pole cables which could cause issues. If you hold the 3.5mm plug of these cables next to eachother, does the poles have the same size/placement?
Did you use the same cable when you tried the dock radio?
It could also be that the phone is having issues sensing that it's connected to another device. I'm not sure but i believe this depends on impedance. What happens if you force the output using an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix?

My aux input does not work. When i put in my headphones my mac does not respond, and my speakers just continues as normal. What to do?

My aux input does not work. When i put in my headphones my mac does not respond, and my speakers just continues as normal. What to do?

I had the same issue. Initially i thought i need to take it to apple for replacing the aux port. But luckily I was able to fix it by resetting the PRAM . To reset the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
You can try this before you take to apple store. It may work if you are lucky. Good luck

Play iphone 4 on surround system w/o aux input

Anyone happens to know how to play my iphone on my surround system, provided that my systems (and most system) dont have an aux input? I can buy the dock system for ipod/iphone, but that cost $100, any ideas?

but can you explain why would having dock matter?
Sure. On the back of the dock is what's called an audio line out jack which looks the same as the headphone jack on the phone, but behaves differently.
The line out jack sends a consistent line level signal to the speaker system that is unaffected by the volume control on the phone. When using it you'll use the volume control on your speaker system to control volume.
Connecting in this way well help insure the best quality sound from your speaker system.

Media player into Aux input on car stereo

Hi,
Blackberry Pearl 8100
I would like to use the media player in my car. My car stereo has an Aux input and I use it with a removable DVD viewer, it works well. I have bought 2 x 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapters (the 2nd and 4th items here http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?menuno=13259) but neither of them work. Plugging the lead into the device doesn't divert the sound from the speakerphone or handset in the same way plugging in headphones does. If I wiggle the connectors about, it will come and go in one channel (left) of the stereo, but not in any consistent or useful way.
It has been suggested in one other thread ( http://www.blackberryforums.com.au/forums/blackberry-pearl-smartphone-discussion/1242-playing-music-... )that there could be an issue with the Aux input itself and the signal from the device is not high enough to drive the Aux but that isn't consistent with the sound levels that I get out of it when I wiggle the connectors.
I have checked the vehicle manufacturer manual for the audio unit and I can't find the impedance of the Aux imput or specification of it, but its a Sony 6CD audio unit.
Can anyone shed any light on my problem? I have tried X Player over my handsfree Parrot, but the music sounds like a phonecall (unsurprisingly :-)
Help, please..
Gareth

the manual says "an equipment such as a portable audio player can be connected to the aux input terminal using a commercially available mini plug (3.5).
I'm almost positive that is what I bought.

USB Headphones Not Always Picking Up Audio

I have Logitech USB headphones that I use with Rosetta Stone. They work just fine. They will also work if I'm watching a video that's on my computer (using the Apple "DVD Player") or when listening to iTunes.
However, they don't work for any audio that streams via the internet. For example, on websites like Hulu or if watching a video on NBC.com it won't play the audio thru the headphones. If I unplug the headphones it will play thru the MacBook's internal speakers. If I plug the headphones it it will mute the internal speakers, but no sound comes thru the headphones.
Any ideas on this?

Hi--
Thanks for responding. The USB Headset is set in system preferences for both input and output.
I went into Utilities-->Audio MIDI Setup. The USB headphones had all 3 icons next to it (finder, speaker, and microphone).
Not sure if this problem is related, but I also have a Bluetooth headset. Similar problem, works with iTunes and DVD player, but not with sound via Safari or Firefox. It has an additional problem, where my USB headset will work with Rosetta Stone, it won't respond with either audio or the microphone.
It's possible the browsers are hard wired to the Macs internal sound...
Nope, wrong, I just tried is using my RME audio interface, Firefox played a youtube video through whatever audio device I had set as default audio.
Sounds like Snow Leopard has a different Audio MIDI setup than Leopard. Under Audio MIDI setup I have both "Default Output" and "System Output" that I can use to set an audio device.
Depending on the USB device they need to be run as an aggregate device doubtful this will be of any help but you might take a look. This combines the USB audio device with the internal audio device... it's been known to help some programs "see" the USB audio,

Good luck, maybe someone running Snow Leopard could jump in here.

Logitech USB headphones - microphone works but not sound output

Seems like the sound output to my Logitech USB headphone has stopped. The microphone inputs but the sound output is blocked. Could be technical issue with the set but was wondering of anyone else has this problem after the last update to 10.14.0

ChickInVici,
Having similar issue with iPad 2. No volume on Apps or Music (except when using headphones). Just started happening after months of no issues. Have reset/ restored with no solution. Can you provide more detail with your solution? I went to >settings>accessibility>voiceover.....but could not find headphones etc... what am I missing. Could you be more specific on what you changed to resolve your issue.
thanks

Zen Nano Plus: Can I connect to Aux input on my table rad

Only possibility would be from headphone output on Nano Plus to Aux Input on radio.... Not documented. My sister's Ipod can do this.

I believe it works the same way too. Gi've it try.

Unable to listen to music on 4s through aux input after ios7 update

I can no longer listen to my phone using my aux input
In my car. It worked yeasterday before the upgrade
But doesn't work today. Please help

I have this same issue but with iPhone 4. Would not play via USB or Bluetooth. I own 2013 Toyota Corolla. When I plug via USB my car audio display lets me select folders and music through browse but when I select a song I get an error on the car audio display that says "read manual or contact dealership for information on how to connect". This did not happen prior to ios 7 update on my iPhone 4.

Aux input to car radio issue

I have a Sony radio in my car. And I connected my Xperia Z3 compact into the aux input, using a 3.5mm jack to jack. One side goes into my headphones jack and the other goes into the radio.
And annoyingly, the sound quality is bad. I get popping noises and like whistle sound and cracking noises. And it's driving me nuts because I can't listen to my music in peace.
Sad part about this is that every other device I've tried works fine, just my new Xperia that is having the issue. It was fine with an iPhone 5s and this other samsung phone I had. Which makes zero sense because the radio is also Sony, so it should work perfect with my Sony Xperia.
So frustrating, can anyone help please.

The 5-pole jack is compatible with 3/4-pole accessories (you can for example connect standard headphones without a microphone) but i remember a case where a user had a cable where the size of each pole was different compared to other 3-pole cables which could cause issues.

HP ENVY 6t has many issues with USB headphone, Bluetooth and more serious issue

HP ENVY 6t doesn't work with USB headphone, unfortunately. could u let me know how to fix it?
Bluetooth mouse has been working for a day, it suddenly stopped working. Having checked the PC bluetooth connection, which said "Working properly". Could you let me know how to re-connect, or re-work?
"Not complete shut-down" blue screen issue right after receiving the HP PC when I closed display to be in sleep mode.
I see the "Safe mode" "...." or "Normal mode" screen always.
The HP PC is not stable UNFORTUNATELY.
Even if just brand new HP PC, there seems to be many issues.

I would recommend using this document for your mouse: http://goo.gl/XDRRy
And using this document to troubleshoot your headphones issue: http://goo.gl/hV9fu
Most of the time with USB headphones, you have to download the driver from the manufacturer before they will work properly.

Instant crash with USB headphones after Security Update 2007-007 install

Hi all,
I'm having problems with my Mini after installing the 2007-007 security update. Specifically I get the grey panic screen of death almost immediately after I plug in my Sennheiser USB headphones. It doesn't seem to matter which USB port I plug it into, I get the panic screen immediately. It also appears to happen only on my mac mini, I have a 1st gen. Macbook Pro that is unaffected.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or whether I'll just have to wait for an update to rectify this.

Same exact problem with MacBookPro and usb headphones sennheiser pc35 usb.
The same headphones work flawlessly on a Powerbook G4 15inch 1.67GHz.
Any suggestions ?

OS X freezes (sometimes) when plugging in my USB headphones

I have USB headphones and a MacBook Pro. If I plug in my USB headphones into my MacBook Pro for the first time since the laptop has started up, then chances are that OS X will freeze, and then I force a shutdown and a restart.
Once the laptop is back up, then I can safely plug in my USB headphones and not have a freeze again.
Can someone tell me why this happens? It's a fairly regular occurrence and happens as I explain above; during the time that I plug the headphones in, I am not usually doing anything process-intensive on my computer.
Help please!
Thanks in advance!

Hi GaryKing,
Thanks for your answer.
As far as I know your headphones are not working as expected, why don't you try to install a driver?. I have to work with quite a few different type of printers and MFD, those might work or not depending on the driver you have installed on your MAC for them, you always can use the postscript driver that comes built-in on Mac OS X for your printers/MFD/Headphones or whatever you have attached on your Mac but it doesn't mean the device is going to work with all the potential.
I would like to know, if you don't mind, if the headphones work with the original drivers.
Regards

10.6.2 USB headphones problem + puzzling Audio Midi Setup workaround

After updating to 10.6.2, my Logitech USB headphones started behaving strangely -- on two separate machines (a 2006 MacBook and a 2009 Mac Pro), so it's not a fault with the computer.
Symptoms:
1. no sound in Skype
2. no sound in YouTube
3. sound, but low volume levels in iTunes when volume is at highest setting
Audio output from the headphone jack and internal speaker remained normal, with no problems.
I knew enough to fiddle with Audio Midi Setup, and discovered the following. The problems described above remained whenever the volume controls for channels 1 and 2 were equal.
The minute the volume controls were set to different levels for the two channels, sound reappeared -- and the greater the disparity, the louder the overall volume coming to both ears. For example setting channel 1 to 0.83 value/-1.00 dB and channel 2 to 1.00 value/3.00 dB produces an adequate volume level overall (though I suppose it is coming at the cost of an actual inequality between the two stereo channels).
Am I correct to assume that I have uncovered a bug here? I had no such problems before 10.6.1.
Unfortunately, I don't have a second pair of USB headphones to test whether that makes a difference.

Update to my own message: It's not necessary to go to Audio Midi Setup to see the effect. In the Sound preference pane as well, setting the balance dead center causes the sound to go to zero, but unbalancing it in favor of either the left or right brings the sound back -- the more unbalanced, the louder.
Furthermore, the balance control does not actually reduce the volume to either ear when moved to the left or the right. That is, with balance all the way to the left, I get louder volume...out of both ears.
No such problem when playing through the regular headphone jack.

Bootcamp 2.0 (released with Leopard) and USB headphones

I've been a happy bootcamp user since the 1.2 beta - mainly for Windows gaming on my Mac Pro. I have a set of USB headphones w/ mic from Altec Lansing. They have a USB adapter that two mini-stereo plugs (for audio and mic) plug into. With bootcamp 1.2 through 1.4 betas when I plugged the USB adapter in, sound stopped coming from my desk speakers and started coming out of headphones. When I unplugged it, sound switched back to desk speakers. It worked great!
Not so much with bootcamp 2.0 that comes with Leopard (10.5). I cannot figure out how to get sound to switch to headphones in Windows now. I plug them in - and sound keeps coming from desk speakers.
Bootcamp is running Windows XP SP2 with all updates applied. Yes, I have installed the bootcamp drivers that come with Leopard (I'm thinking that's what hosed me).
Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi Bob,
Yes, this info got burried. Basically, it's a tool for building LabVIEW-based software products. It is highly flexible/extensible and tries to fill the holes left by LabVIEW's built-in Application Builder. Here are some good links to more info:
