Mini Jack 3.5 mm speakers with an Apple TV?

I have iHome iP1 speakers but the Apple TV have optical audio. How can I connect it?

You'll have to locate a digital to analog converter and connect in between the ATV and the speakers

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.

Apple Pro speakers with mini jack connect to new Intel iMac ?

I would like to be able to connect the pair of perspex globe Apple Pro Speakers with mini-jack that came with my PowerPC G4 Mac to my new Lion desktop Intel iMac.
However, the mini-jack is too small for either the ' audio in / optical digital audio in port ' or the ' headphone out / optical digital audio out port ' (I'm not sure which is the correct one to use !)
Is it possible with an adaptor, or by some other means, to connect them ?
If it is unfortunately not possible, any cheap alternative speakers recommended would be appreciated.

There are no adapters that are readily available to use the old Apple Pro speakers with other computers or newer Macs.
The only adapter that worked but has long been discontinued in the Griffin Technologies iFire.
These are even harder to find now and if you do, indeed find one, you're going to pay an outrageous amount of money just for an adapter that used to sell for $40!!
For the cost of this adapter, you could just buy new speakers.
The big problem with the old Apple Pro speakers is that Apple went out of its way to make sure you couldn't use these speakers with anything else but certain G4 Mac models. The connector and subsequent wiring make these speakers very proprietary and limited use without spending gobs of time altering some of the components and purchasing external computer audio amps and connectors.
Apple simply made these unusable on anything but their own hardware at that time.
It's simply not worth the effort.
Look in the Apple Store online. There are a lot of decent priced, good-looking speakers to use with your iMac.
Good hunting!

What type of connector do I need from my Macbook Pro Retina laptop for sound out to audio speakers with regular audio input jacks?

I am wanting to use regular audio speakers with traditional audio input jacks to serve as output speakers on my Macbook Pro Retina display laptop. What type of cable would I need to connect?

Digital audio input via mini jack/toslink from ADA, monitored via USB audio output... is this do-able? I know digital audio input should be okay but how do I monitor it, apart from using the internal speakers?

Digital audio input via mini jack/toslink from ADA converter, monitored via USB audio output to amplifier... is this do-able? I know digital audio input should be okay but how do I monitor it, apart from using the internal speakers?

You can output audio thru HDMI, with appropriate adapter.
You can use additional cheap external usb audio for monitoring.

Left channel stops working when I use headphones, with mini-jack AND iMic

Hello. Both the external speakers work on my intel iMac 20 inch. I can go to system prefs/sound and toggle from left to right, and they both work. BUT: when I plug in headphones/earbuds (I've tried 4 different pairs), I only get sound in the right ear. I thought it could be a problem with the audio out mini jack at the back of the iMac, but even when I plug earphones/headphones into my USB griffin iMic, the same thing happens. Sound in one ear only. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there,
I assume you are saying your Internal Speakers are working correctly (not external), and audio out jack does not work properly and even using your iMic gets you the same results.
There is one last place you can check, HD > Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup... here you can do some adjustments etc... it's the last thing I can think of other than calling it a hardware problem.

How to connect apple tv to normal speakers with 3.5mm jack?

I have recently brought apple tv, it works great with my tv. But I have optoma HD200x projector which, I think, don't have audio out. I understand that I need optical audio cable to connect it to speakers but I have JBL radial speakers with 3.5mm jack. Which cable is required as no optical audio port on jbl dock.
Thanks

You need to connect optical to a DAC that can output analogue stereo (serach for monoprice here) or have an amp/speaker that acepts optical.
Assuming you'll hook up HDMI to the Optoma it's worth considering whether or not thsi convertes HDMI audio and has an analogue 3.5mm or RCA jack out (or headphones socket) - that might work but would entail an extra lead from the projector.

I just bought an Apple TV and i have a bose sounddock with a mini jack in the back and and optical cord with a mini adapter on it (so optical cord going into the Apple TV and the mini adapter on the other end going into my bose dock but i dont get sound??

Not all the sound docks accept both analogue and optical on the auxillary input - I don't think the portable ones does but may be wrong - check the user manual.
As I said earlier all the mini optical (min Toslink) adapter does it make the optical connector fit a smaller socket, it does not convert digital audio to analogue for an analogue only auxillary input.

Mini-Jack to RCA connector scheme nee

Hi!
I've purchased a Creative X-Fi card and got a receiver with bookshelf speakers for gaming and listening music, but didn't notice that SPDIF doesb't carry a Dolby Digital encoded sognal ;((.
In such case I need to make the interconnectors from mini-Jack to RCA input of my receiver. Please give me the scheme of this connectors (I mean where on mini-Jack is left /right and where on RCA must be plus/minus).
I need this information very much, as I still cant get satisfied with my equipment .
Thank you for help
Timur.

timur,
I think (but I'm not certain) this is what you are looking for. Go to the link below and click on "External Connectors such as Microphone, Line-In, Line-Out, Digital Out, Center/Subwoofer/Rear Center Out." Then click on "Line-in and Line-Out" for a diagram of the rear jack Line-out & 2 connections for the left and right, front and rear speakers. Then click on "Line-out 3..." for the center, subwoofer, etc connections. These diagrams refer to Line-outs , 2, & 3 on the backplate of your X-Fi. (The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th /8-inch jacks from the top.) The center of the RCA connector is signal, the outer shield is ground.

And please give me the scheme of such a connector, or a link where it is described, as, unfurtunately, Russia is not covered by Creative on-line store. The best variant for me would be of course DTS-60, but this device is unavailable in Russia at the moment ;(.

Apple Pro Speakers with Mac Pro?

Just received a new *Mac Pro* at the office, and disappointed to learn that, apparently, the *Mac Pro speakers* I've been using with the previous Power Mac G4 (FW800) are incompatible.
The Mac Pro's audio out looks like a standard mini-out, while the speakers have what I believe are "Apple mini-jacks."
Is this correct? Is there an adapter available?

You need the iFire adapter, but you won't like the price

Apple Pro Speakers with Mac Pro? Suggestions?

I have a need for a small pair of desktop speakers to use with my spiffy new Mac Pro. The only speakers I can find seem to be more than I need, as as they all have a large subwoofer. I currently have - shudder - a pair of old Dell speakers snagged at a garage sale for 25¢. Now they work fine...but they look awful. I've seen Apple Pro speakers listed on eBay; I assume they're no longer made. Will these work with my MacPro, or can anyone suggest a pair of small speakers?
Thanks for any thoughts shared...

How do I connect Logitech Z-5500 5.1 speakers with new iMac?

Please help a PC to mac converter. I did a search related to this topic and I am still confused. The articles that were related were archived and so I couldn't post a reply. With that said I need help. I purchased Logitech 5.1 speaker system to hookup with intel-based iMac 24". The speakers came with 3 color-coded RCA cables. This is the same setup as on my Dell, but the Dell had the corresponding color coded inputs, the iMac does not.
My question is how do I get 5.1 setup with iMac, and can this computer support a 5.1 system? I've read on here that people are using optical cables, but the iMac does not have an optical input either.
I appreciate any advise and any hyperlinks to cables or other accessories I need to buy would be appreciated.
Thanks.

When the Toslink to mini-jack digital cable arrives you would set up the 5.1 audio to the system through Audio MIDI Setup; Apps>Utilities>Audio MIDI Setup.
From the Audio MIDI Setup Help menu;
Configuring speakers for multichannel output
If you have a multichannel audio output system, you can select the speaker used to play each channel.
You must be using an audio output system that provides more than two channels of audio output.
Before you start, be sure you have connected the audio devices to your computer, turned them on, if necessary, and installed any software required by the manufacturer.
1. Open Audio MIDI Setup and click Audio Devices.
2. Choose the audio output device from the Properties For pop-up menu and click Configure Speakers.
3. If you are using an interleaved device with more than one audio stream, you can choose the audio streams you want to use with your speaker configuration.
4. If the stream you select provides enough channels for the speakers you are configuring, you cannot select additional streams.
5. Choose the type of output you want to set up from the pop-up menu.
6. For each speaker in the configuration, choose a channel from the pop-up menu below the speaker.
7. To test the configuration and speaker, click the speaker.
8. When you're ready, click OK.
If the speaker doesn't make any sound, make sure it is connected to your audio device correctly and the audio output is not muted.

How do I connect directly to external wall speakers with my iPhone

Hi All,
In the shop where I work they have a couple of speakers built into the wall. There is a wall plate where a person could connect to these speakers with a stereo. (two wires for each speaker) Can I connect directly to these speakers with some sort of a breakout wire coming off the iPhone's 3.5mm headphone jack (suggestions) or the iPhone's dock connector (suggestions). I just want to listen to random music from my iPhone and I really don't want to buy a speaker system for my iphone for this location.
Thanks,
KDC

No. The iPhone doesn't have the power to drive speakers. If you can get to the input of the amp that feeds those speakers, then you do what you want.

Mini jack splitter

I bought a mini jack splitter, sold as a stereo splitter, my question is this, does this split the stereo from my ipod into a left and rightr mono 0or does it split the stereo output and give me two stereo outputs.
Peter

The most common one is the "split the stereo output and give me two stereo outputs".
It is very rare (but possible) to have a mini jack splitter with a left and right mono outputs - and it will show by L & R signs or Red and White colour jacks

(Too) Variable Audio Output through mini jack

Tried looking through prior posts to see if anyone had remotely similar problems. Just lately my 5G iPod will radically change in volume level mid-song; so much so that it distorts and is in danger of blowing my speakers in my car. Don't have Sound Check on but doesn't seem to be an issue here as it's midsong. I mostly listen to it through speakers plugged in to the mini jack, or headphones and not the dock. Any ideas what this might be caused by?

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
Only the most recent late 2010 MacBook Airs support audio over Mini Display Port.
For an older machine, you'll need something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Mini-DisplayPort-HDMI-Adapter-Audio/dp/B0033SM2BQ/ref=sr_1 _14?ie=UTF8&qid=1306806721&sr=8-14 or this: http://www.amazon.com/Displayport-Toslink-Female-Converting-Adapter/dp/B003BS2PF G/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_5
