No audio out input on tv

I am trying to assist my mother, to hook up her toshiba tv 32c11ou to a toshiba sd-v2976k dvd/vcr and she has cable without a cable box, how do you make the connections when the tv has no audio out

Unfortunately, you would need some other box (like a cable box) to achieve that.

  • Is there an adaptor that can split the audio out from mic input?

    I'd like to use the iPhone on a mixer borad for conferencing.  I'm looking for an adaptor that will allow me to separate audio (out) from mic (in) on the iPhone.  Any ideas?

    Will this work for you?

  • 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

  • Pulseaudio & tsched=0,random whitenoise since change to HDMI audio out

    Hi all
    I had a fully working mythtv box with pulseaudio. Some time ago, I remember I had to add tsched=0 to /etc/pulse/default.pa like in the following line
    load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
    because I had random white noise when skipping sections in music/video. I used analog out of my Creative Labs SB Live! at the time. Now I have a Nvidia GT 520 with HDMI out, connected it and changed some settings in alsamixer, pavucontrol as well as mythtv in order to have audio out through hdmi to my TV and it worked.
    But since then I have again those random white noise issues. I start watching a recording and when I skip for 30sek it might still play normal, but randomly and with very high probability like every third or second time I skip again there is no sound anymore, but a very strong noise blasting out of my TV speakers. It is nearly unbearable, so loud.
    So basically it is the same thing I could earlier work around with the tsched=0 parameter, but after searching hours in google I could not find anything better/else than setting this parameter which I already have since very long time.
    Does someone have an idea where to start searching for the culprit?
    TIA

    Ok, so I have had some time to devote to this. Since this was a a new install of Arch I decided to just reinstall again to wipe out anything that I might have added to cause further compication to the solution. I am sure I am missing something obvious as aplay shows the card:

  • Does the new Macbook Pro 13" support TOSLink cable (audio out)

    I just bought new Macbook Pro 13" (April, 2010) and I want to connect my Macbook to AV receiver or home theater to decode DTS digital sound. Can I use the TOSLink cable (mini 3.5mm jack to Optical) with Macbook Pro 2010 audio out ? (My AV receiver does not have HDMI input but have Optica).
    Example of the cable :

  • A/V Composite cable video but no audio out

    I just bought a new A/V composite Apple cable for my iPhone. I plugged it in to an LCD tv when I got home, and it WORKED with all the videos I have on the iPhone. I then (without unplugging) tried to play a song from the iPhone (purchased from ITMS). No Sound out.
    Then I went back and tried to play a video again. Video out, no sound out!
    Then I tried several un plugs and replugs, I tried a full shutdown and reboot of the iPhone. All with no effect. Now pictures and video still go out, but no sound out of the cable.
    Questions:
    1) Does anyone have a solution to this? Cable wasn't stressed or anything-and works with a different iPod Nano.
    2) Shouldn't the iphone put out audio through the A/V composite cable using it as an iPod?
    3) Although the iPhone asks, when starting a video with the cable plugged in whether you want to play on TV or not, is there any selection that needs to be made to get audio out from song files (just ipod sound out?)
    WSKCONDOR

    *However, it doesn't explain why after returning to video the TV sound was still not present.*
    If you mean you first tried to play an audio only file and then switched to an audio with video then it's most likely the TV was still shut down on that input. Try this (with the previous scenerio): after you're sure the iPhone is outputting both video and audio (with a movie, for example) just switch the TV inputs until you're back to that signal and I'll be it will show things again.
    Once again, I think both the iPhone and the TV makers are culpable, but it's a shame the iPhone doesn't output the album art because this is what it does when you play it standalone. It just makes sense -- that fact it doesn't is a kind of "duh" (unless there are technical issues I just don't understand -- possible, even though I'm a programmer). But all of us who want this should go to feedback and post it and perhaps it will make it to the next release (I've asked for this about three times now).

  • AppleTV audio out to old amp with only analog audio

    I'm thinking about getting the Apple TV for both video and for playing my music on my home stereo system. I currently have an old amp with only analog audio capabilities, but the new ATV looks like it only supports digital optical out, and the digital to analog converters I've looked for seem pretty expensive. How can I get the audio from my music collection (iTunes) to play wirelessly through ATV through my amp?
    I currently also have an Airport Express which I use for audio, but I was thinking of selling that and just using the ATV since the ATV can essentially do the same thing as the AX with added video benefit. I've seen some threads on streaming audio from the ATV to the AX, but do I really need both? Seems like there should be another way.
    I was thinking of connecting the ATV to my TV via HDMI cable for audio, and then using an analog audio out from the TV to my amp. But, if I'm correct, that would only provide me with sound coming from the TV. It wouldn't give sound out from iTunes, for example. Is that right?
    Are there any other options?

    Followings are my observations in audio streaming with Apple TV 3 and Airport Express through AirPlay protocol:
    -- Apple TV 3 come with only digital audio outputs through HDMI and optical SPDIF outputs. If you connect optical link from the optical output to optical input of any DAC and HDMI cable from the HDMI output to HDMI input on TV set, audio output will be transmitted through both digital outputs. Thus is is not necessary to turn on TV set unless visual feedback is required. There is no audio analog line output for Apple TV 3.
    -- AirportExpress come with single combo mini jack (digital + analog) for audio output regardless of old/new models. You can connect either digital optical link (with Mini/Toslink adaptor) to digital input of DAC or analog line cable (inferior) to analog line input of amplifier. When analog line is used, digital-to-analog conversion is done by DAC built into AirportExpress for which do not expect quality is as good as most external DAC models. What do you expect from a single-chip DAC implementation vs standalone DAC models cost few thousand dollars ? Moreover analog line is susceptible to interference more than digital line.
    So the decision to use Apple TV or AirportExpress, analog or digital transmission for audio streaming depends on whether you need WiFi base station features of AirportExpress to establish wireless network and quality of your audio system to justify all-digital audio transmission. Followings are what I use in audio streaming from iMac/iPad mini /iPhone 5 to audio system in living room. Quality of audio output is comparable with Sonos Zone Player as audio source.

  • Optical audio out turns off during silence

    My optical audio out port turns off when no sound is being played. When a sound is played my speakers pop as the receiver switches into optical mode. This takes a second so I miss system sounds. I would like to set the optical out to always stay on, even when I'm not listening to music so I can hear these sounds and avoid popping. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

    Note that there are several different ways that an iPod or Nano can support TV output, depending on the iPod model & type of connection. The charts at iPod and iPhone: TV out support may be of some help with this, but it still can be confusing, depending on which of the two Apple docks with very similar names you might have used, or if you used any third party connection products.
    Because of this, it probably would be best for each of you asking for a solution to describe in detail which items you used in your connections, & which of the TV's video input jacks that you plugged the output connectors into.

  • Digital audio out port

    I am having a problem, quite opposite to what most of what I've read about Mac audio port issues online, concerning my audio-out port. I'm running an Intel Imac, 7,1, running OS 10.5.8. The specs do specify the audio port on this mac is dual; analog and digital output. Everything I've read to date relates to the red optical light being stuck on coming out of the audio port. My issue is that I CANNOT, and I emphasize that, get the red light to come on and thus use my optical cable (it's working on other equipment) and connect it to my AV receiver. I have never in the past even thought about using an optical cable so it never was an issue. In fact I never knew the port was dual. The external speaker and headphones work fine and the audio panel in the preference pane reflects that; either says 'internal speakers' or 'headphones' automatically when engaging/disengaging audio phone jack. When I put in my toslink (optical) cable, the panel goes to 'headphones' instead of 'optical out' or 'digital out'. There is never a provision to click on digital out on either the sound panel or the midi setup panel. I've tried everything I can click on at both panels. Audio Output in midi setup says 'master stream' (always greyed out) and Source- either 'headphones' or 'internal speakers'. The default and system output drop downs never give me a 'digital' or 'optical' option. Everything works fine except that I cannot get the red light to shine and cannot get digital out at all. Any ideas? Maybe something in terminal or in openfirmware screen? Thanks.

    have you tried other speakers or headphones and what version bootcamp drivers are you using?

    Does this port connect directly to appropriate digital speakers?
    If so can someone recommend a decent set of digital speakers that will connect directly.
    Or does the optical digital audio port connect to an amplifier or receiver and them to speakers?
    With the suggestions i have below the set-up is like this:
    Subwoofer - Connects to 2 (Stereo or technically 2.1) or 5 (5.1) speakers
    The subwoofer connects to a control pod (which has the optical inputs, coax inputs, and analog inputs - atleast all 3 are on the z5500)

  • MBP- Digital Audio Out is always on

    For some reason after (I believe) I updated to 10.4.9 the Digital Audio Out on my MBP is always on, thus making the internal speakers unusable. If I plug in headphones they work fine but after I unplug them it switches back to digital audio.
    How do I fix this?
    15" MBP 1.83ghz.   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1.5gb of Ram,

    ok, since this prob comes up every week and often more than once a week, I wrote a detailed explanation and saved it so I could repost it next time it happened to someone. here it is:
    the audio input/output connector on all mac notebooks is a dual function connection. it can switch between analog and digital optical. the way it does this is by an automatic sensor that detects what is plugged in. if it detects that an optical digital cable is connected, then it will switch to digital output and/or input mode as the case may be. this is why you see a red light - it's the optical digital audio stream. it seems that in many cases, people's connectors are becoming stuck, and the machine thinks there is a digital optical cable plugged in. it can happen if you've connected or disconnected headphones, or speakers, or possibly even if something is loose in that port and it just gets jammed with the sensor being tripped. people have suggested trying to gentle poke inside the port with a paperclip, to try and reset the sensor back to the setting that nothing is plugged in. for some people it has worked, for others, not. you can also try plugging in headphones and unplugging them a few times to see if it does the trick. if none of this works, then unfortunately the best bet is going to be taking the machine in for a service.

  • Preventing Digital Audio Out from "Sleeping"?

    I'm using the mid 2010 Mac Mini and digital audio out.
    My receiver is showing the loss of digital audio signal when the mini hasn't played a sound for awhile and then comes back when audio is played.
    I loose about 1 second of audio though when this happens which is bad for quick sounds. Subsequent sounds play fine until it "sleeps" again.
    In Windows it keeps the digital signal live at all times which is what I want in Snow.
    Is this possible?

    You should only experience a delay when you switch to a new source of sound. Such as first starting playback in itunes, or first start Pandora, or just starting to watch a video clip.
    This is because OSX typically only outputs a digital bitstream when there is an actual audio bitstream source currently "playing."
    I regularly see my Denon receiver indicate a loss of the audio bitstream and then indicate when it starts up again. I have not experienced a problem because of this.
    I suspect your particular receiver is slow to respond to new bitstreams. I have two suggestions to help mitigate this:
    First, it might help to lock your receiver to the optical audio input (for that particular source selection). Since the receiver is likely simultaneously monitoring the HDMI, coaxial and optical inputs for a new bitstream, this could cause a delay in its reaction to a new audio stream.
    Also check the receiver's manual and see if there are adjustments for its digital audio behavior. Disable any buffers or processing effects or "enhancements."

  • Question on optical audio out

    Hi all, I recently got an entry level 5.1 surround system for my PC (Logitech X-530, if you're that curious) and am wondering if it's possible to utilize my optical audio out with this system. From what I gather, I'd need some kind of decoder, but beyond that, I'm lost. I've tried googling it and searched around this forum a bit, but I can't seem to be pointed to any one product that'll do this. Any help is appreciated.

    Ok, the speakers you got are just powered speakers with analog inputs.
    They do not have the better digital inputs and do 5.1 decoding.
    Mac's don't do 5.1 decoding, so you need either a separate device (like a 5.1-7.1 decoding receiver with digital optical inputs) or a M-Audio sound card installed in your PCI slots.
    The M-Audio card for the Mac will use your CPU's to do the 5.1 decoding and send it out analog ports which you can connect those speakers too.
    The M-Audio card produces line level output, no amplification. But your powered speaks will do the amplification.
    http://images.devshed.com/dh/stories/Logitech%20x530/image005.jpg
    (The three plugs on the right are for connecting to a sound card)
    If your really into better sound, a quality 5.1-7.1 receiver with digital optical inputs (toslink cable) and good speakers with 80+ watts each and a decent 100+ watt subwoofer will make you cry with happiness. Of course you need to pay over $1000 and up. But it's worth it if your into music.
    Check out the Volume Logic iTunes plugin, it's cheap and makes your music sound so much better.
    NOTE! Make sure you check that the current M-Audio card will work in your Mac. The PCI spec of the M-Audio card may not match the one's needed by your certain spec of PowerMac G5.

  • No optical audio out

    I have looked at almost all of the discussions and have tried almost everything to get audio out from 3g ATV. I tried 3 different cables. Upgraded to 6 and restored on itTunes. Turned off Dolby. I am using a digital converter (not a decoder). It works with other optical inputs. Removed HDMI cable.
    Is there some solution?

    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

  • Is it possible to play iTunes audio out through USB to receiver to power speakers?

    I thought you should be able to.Play iTunes audio out through USB to a receiver equipt with USB mode as I can with my iPad Air, but I can,t find in preferences on my 2013 iMac any out put and I get no signal to the receiver/amp. Is it possible? What am I doing wrong?

    Yes
    A 3.5mm to RCA cable or adapter will work fine for stereo between the Mac's headphone jack and receiver's RCA input.
    for example's

    > http://www.amazon.com/C2G-Cables-40645-Stereo-Adapter/dp/B000J1H4VI/
    Additionally if your receiver is equipted with digital input, you could use a Toslink cable with a 3.5mm adapter on the Mac end.

  • Does anyone use Optical Audio out to connect studio monitors?

    I am planning to snatch a Mac Mini as my studio upgrade. I am also planning on buying some studio monitors (as opposed to just regular speakers). I was wondering what people use to get great, accurate results for under $600. The Mini can achieve optical audio out, apparently. Are there studio monitors that use digital, optical audio as a means to connect? How do fellow Logic home studio users have their audio out set up?

    Because the ones that do, are way over the budget of most people on this forum.
    I have this pair :
