Mute Speakers with Headpho

Windows 2000 SP4
SoundBlaster Audigy Platinum
2 nights ago when I went to bed everything worked fine, when I booted up in the morning
a) the speakers don't mute when headphones plugged in
b) no sound period from headphones
Unless there's somewhere I can't find my mute speakers button is gone. I've run Windows repair and uninstalled/reinstalled SB several times.
Help!

Check the connection between the soundcard and the dri've bay. You can test this by seeing if there's red light coming out of the optical out in the dri've bay.
I suspect the bay's gotten disconnected or lost power.

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.

My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

There is probably a red light on inside your headphone port, indicating that the analog/digital switch in there is stuck in the digital position. Insert a headphone plug and wigle it around, especially in the horizontal plane, as you insert and remove it several times. This will usually unstick the switch and restore normal operation. If it doesn't, the machine will need to be repaired.
This has been a fairly common problem, but in most cases it is easily cured as described above.

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.

Can I use my old apple speakers with my new I mac

If they are the old clear globe speakers that worked with old G4 models, then no.

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?

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!

Functionality to sync local speakers with distant speakers in iTunes 6 gone

In version 6 of iTunes it was possible to sync distant speakers with local speakers even though it often resulted with an error. Now in version 7 it is no longer possible. With your Airfoil one can "monitor locally" but the sound is out of sync with the distant speakers. It was the main reason I bought an Airport Express and I now feel cheated.
I previously posted a subject about the error but it went unanswered (Topic: Unknown Error -3256 with itunes).

I'm using iTunes 7 and Airport Express and i don't have any problem. i'm always listening the music on local and wireless on the same time and it's never out of sync. !!!
You must have a problem somewhere, maybe you should re-install iTunes 7.
Maybe is an error on the Window version only (Viva Mac)

Can you use Sony NS400 speakers with Apple Tv

Can you use Sony NS400 wifi speakers with Apple TV
Thanks
Hugh

The iPad/iPhone need to be on the same section of the network as the Apple TV. connect the Apple TV to the wireless router instead of the AT&T router. If you can, connect the other devices as well...

Using external Pro Speakers with MacBook...?

Is there a jack-pluc adapter af any sort that can enable me to use my 'Pro Speakers' with my MacBook?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

These jacks are also common with mobile phones and dont cost more than a few dollars. A quick search on ebay shows

I have no affiliation with eBay or anything like that. But at least it gives you an idea of what they look like. I have a few of these for my various mobile phones.

You can't downgrade the iOS.
Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Connecting to my T6060 5.1 speakers with a DVD player thru Decoder DDTS-100

Hi, I have a DVD player which has 2.1 audio output (left and right), a coaxial and an optical audio output. Can you tell me how to connect the creative T6060 (5.1) speakers with the DVD player. Can I connect the speaker with the DVD player with the decoder DDTS-100 to get 5.1 effect. Will the speakers would be working. Thanks,Jwell

Your speakers should have a cable with 3 plugs on the end (orange, green and black). That plugs into the matching sockets on the DDTS-100, and you set the switch to 5.1. Then you need a lead to connect the dvd and its up to you if its coaxial or optical. For coaxial you can use pretty much any phono to phono lead, which you may already have. Ive got a feeling the DDTS-100 comes with one of each anyway. Thats all there is to it.

How to use 5.1 computer speakers with PS3 via Sound Blast

Hi,
i dont have the money to buy a second set of surround sound speakers to use with my PS3. I already have a set of Creative 5. surround computer speakers that connect via 3.5mm jacks into my sound card, there is no optical port on the speakers.
Is there a way to use these speakers with the PS3 as well. I was thinking along the lines of could i buy a new Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme audio card which has an optical-in socket and connect my PS3 to the sound card via optical cable, and use the new Sound Blaster as an amp to redirect the sound to the computer speakers back out along the sound cards 3.5mm jack connections.
I have no idea if this would work or not so before i buy the new sound card i could anybody confirm or deny whether this works. And if not any suggestions?
Thanks alot, i appreciate any help.

thanks again but perhaps i didnt explain clearly enough. I dont want to have simultaneous optical input and output, other wise there wouldnt be a problem. The speakers i have are 5. computer speakers. The computer is connected to them via 3*3.5mm jacks from the sound card to the sub, the other sattelite speakers are connected by audio rca to the sub. My speakers have no optical-in on them, hence having to to re-route the sound through a sound card (if it would work). Essentialy using the sound card as an amp or as a big optical to 3*3.5mm jack adaptor.

I am trying to sync Go Rock TRMS03SR Bluetooth Portable 3D Surround Speakers with my Airport Express or iTunes So I can play Music in Multiple rooms. I have a WiFi network, my living room speakers are connected directly to Airport Express.

I am trying to sync Go Rock TRMS03SR Bluetooth Portable 3D Surround Speakers with my Airport Express or iTunes So I can play Music in Multiple rooms. I have a WiFi network, my living room speakers are connected directly to Airport Express, so how can I get the wireless bluetooth speakers to play at the same time in my bedroom?

Did you ever get this to work? My guess is that the speakers are out of bluetooth range at that distance.
