No Audio Input Via 3.5mm Jack

I understand that the Envy 23 has a single pin jack for input/output (headphones). 
However, I have never been able to get the jack to work as an analog input (from a record turntable & mixer to digitize vinyl). It worked fine on my old HP desktop (with the designated separate jacks). No input signal at all...
I've tried different kinds of 3.5mm jack (2 ring, 3 ring), different digitizing programs, every configuration I can think of in the Windows audio device controls...nothing. 
any ideas? I'm at my wit's end! 

Hi,
Firstly have you tried somting similar to  the following adapter ?
Secondly: have you tried a microphone with the above adapter ?
Regards.

  • 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.

  • How to get audio input through 3.5mm on MacBook Air

    I am trying to use the 3.5mm jack on the MacBook Air as an input jack. I am running several Mic's to a sound board, and then using it's output to get the audio to my system. The problem is, when I plug the cable into the jack, it thinks it is speakers. Does anybody have a solution? I cannot find any way to manually adjust this from output to input. Also, using USB is not an otion, becuase it is coming from a sound board, not jus one mic.
    I am using a mid-2011 MBA with Lion 10.7.5
    Thanks!!!

    Maybe you can help me now?
    I have a iPhone 1/8 inch microphone adapter - 3.5mm 4 conductor TRRS Male to 3.5mm Microphone Input Jack from here. that allows me to plug my lapel mic directly into my iphone and record, it is great.
    I was hoping I could also use it on my MBPRetina to accomplish the same purpose. Do you know if that is possible? I tried and tested it recording a video in iMovie, and didn't notice any change.
    I went to the Sound Input Preferences, and do not notice the mic input changing when I plug it in or remove it. In other words, it always says "internal mic."
    My lapel mic is battery operated, with a fresh battery, and it was turned on.
    What am I doing incorrectly? Any help would be wonderfully appreciated!

  • Optical audio input to 3.5mm stereo output???

    I was wondering if macbook pros can take a digital audio source (i.e. PS3) as an input and output to 3.5mm stereo to a set of analogue speakers, simultaneously.

  • Nokia 3110c - stereo via 3.5mm jack adapter?

    I want to play music from my 3110 Classic through my decent-quality earphones with a 3.5mm stereo jack. One post in this forum says you can use a 2.5mm-3.5mm adapter, but another says the Maplin N83FA and FA94C adapters only give mono output. Does anyone know of an adapter available in the UK that definitely works?

    Yes - also there is the AD-50... (http://www.mobilagency.cz/foto/male/hf48.jpg )
    This is a little less pretty but performs the same thing...

  • Using USB on MacBook Pro for audio input

    I have a turntable that outputs audio via USB for conversion from LPs to digital sound on my MacBook. It comes with Audacity software for control of the process. When I use my daughter's 5 year old Gateway I am presented, within Audacity, with a drop down of audio input choices - including the USB ports. When I try to use my MacBook the only option for audio input is the Microphone jack.
    I'm pretty sure that I should be able to use the USB port for audio input but am unsure how to make it happen. I'm comfortable using GarageBand if the Audacity software is the problem.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    The previous answer is CRAP, your turntable already provides you digital audio over USB.
    You just have to select USB Audio as the default audio input.
    Under OSX this is not done inside Audacity, as is done under Windows. It must be done on the System Preferences, Audio.
    There you will be able to select the USB interface as your default sound input.
    After this, launch Audacity, and there you will see that the USB audio is now the only available option...

  • How can the optical digital audio input be enabled on the 2011 Mac mini?

    I am trying to record signals output from my audio receiver's digital SPDIF output.  I have a TOSLINK optical cable between the receiver's output and my MAC mini's audio input (via the TOSLINK to 3.5mm optical adapter).  Does this digital optical input need to be enabled through the OS?

    Also, make sure it is showing up in System Preferences->Sound->
    Input as optical.
    Also, make sure it is plugged ALL the way in.  I know on
    my 2011 Mini, even with just analog plugs, it is a very
    snug fit and often it feels like I have pushed in all the way
    when in fact it isn't and needs an addition pretty firm push.

  • Cisco 7937G - External Audio Input/Muting

    When I connect an external audio source to the External Audio Input Connector (2.5mm stereo jack) are the internal microphones muted?
    If this is not the case will the Mute Buttom mute the internal mics only or both the internal mics & external audio input?

  • Any way to get audio out via RCA or 3.5mm jack?

    I am interest in using AppleTV in a section of a fitness studio that I own.
    The room has a pro audio A/V system with sound inputs via Bluetook, RCA or 3.5mm earphone jack.  The 2 TV monitors are daisy-chained and receive inputs via HDMI.
    However, if I want to have the audio portion of an AppleTV program played through the sound system, I need to feed audio into it using one of the inputs noted above.  This isn't a problem with a Mac or iPad because I can use both HDMI and 3.5mm jacks to accomplish the goal.  I could just turn up the TVs, but that isn't a great sound option given the setting and the other equipment.
    Is there any way to jury-rig an audio output that works?
    Might I be better off using a sling box to an iPad or a Macbook?  I am already paying for cable TV as part of my Xfinity plan.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Something like this Digital Audio To Analog Audio Converter ... from Amazon will do the trick.

  • Z77a GD65 simultaneous audio output via digital and analog jack?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if it is possible to use the digital audio spdif out, and the green 3,5mm jack (I use it for my headphones) at the same time?
    When I use the digital out, and I run a 'test' with the analog out, I can hear the test signal so technically it should work.
    However, I can't find the right settings to actually use both outputs (same source: for instance iTunes) at the same time.
    Any advice? Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Jeroen

    My old msi cuba 7301 from 2007 has an spdif output, and I was able to use this digital out together with the 3,5mm line out (which I used for my headphones) simultaneously. I understand what you're saying, but I'd say the user should decide in what way he/she wants to use the product  . Technically, it shouldn't be a problem, since I can hit the 'test' button and hear the sounds through my headphones via 3,5mm stereo out, while playing music through the digital out.
    Anyone from MSI who knows the answer? If it was possible in 2007...
    Thanks for your answer

  • Apple TV3 HDMI - DVI jack fine. TV has no DVI digital audio input.

    I can buy a converter from HDMI to DVI for video, My TV does not have a digital audio input for the optical cable.  I may be able to plug into my sony surround sound amp in to the SA-DC CD in optical port and just play through the surround sound all the time?  Which would not give me sound if I used the TVs internal speakers?  Or there may be a converter from an optical audio to a R & L DVI Audio Input Jack? 

    Before you do just note that HDMI is the only supported connection so there will be no guarantee with any converter used. If it does work you will be unable to view protected content, unless your monitor specifies HDCP compliance. Functionality could also cease at any time.
    The optical port is for connecting to a receiver, which you would need to do as DVI doesn't carry audio.

  • How to get audio input with no line in jack?

    Apologies for this very basic question but I am increasingly lost and confused the more I search.
    I want to convert some audio cassette tapes into mp3. I have an older mac mini that I believe does not have any kind of audio input jack. I have heard from various people that 1) I just need a cable to convert RCA output to USB input (but as far as I can tell such a cable doesn't exist) 2) I need to buy a sound card 3) I need a special standalone piece of hardware.
    Which one is right? This is just a one time project and the audio is only voices so I don't want to spend any more than I need to.

    The Griffin iMic would work well for this.
