No output sound from output port/analog audio: Need help

hello, I want to connect my analog audio equipment to my iMac. I have done this in the past with my old G3. I have connected the RCA cables to a 3.5 mm jack and put it into the audio input port, which was what worked on the G3. When I open the sound page for input & output, on Output I can see the volume bar thing moving in relation to the sounds from mic, turntable, etc: all the analog audio things. However, there is no actual output of sound through the iMac;s speakers or a headphone. The output page is pretty simple so I am real sure I have all the rigt things checked, unchecked etc. Any ideas? Thanks.

I had what sounds like a similar problem to jazzzrat. i had my macbook setup to a stereo and it worked for over a year. suddenly no sound came out of the stereo. in my case, it definitely was a software setup thing.
plug in your stereo jack into the audio out port. then go to system preferences-->sound-->output. on there you should see, under "device for sound output": Name=Headphones, port=built-in output. (if you see name=built in speakers, you plugged in the wrong plug). Now go down to the bottom of the window and UNcheck the "mute" box, and make sure the volume slider is midway or more.
For some reason, mac allows you to mute the "headphones" and "built in speakers" selectively. we have no idea how that box got checked, that remains a complete mystery. but when we eventually found -- and unchecked -- the box, our stereo output came back just fine.
i hope this works for you. good luck and have a good new year.

I am using iMac OS 10.7.2 with Garageband'11 6.0.4. I can't record sound from mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and preferences but no sound from mixer to iMac. Need help.

I am using iMac OS 10.7.2 with Garageband'11 6.0.4. I can't record sound from mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and Preferences but I can't get no sound from mixer to iMac only sound from iMac to mixer. I only can record sound using microphone line in. Please help.

Eric,
Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.

Sometimes I cannot select an airport express to output sound from a current model mac air/10.9.3. The output jumps back to internal speakers or apple tv. Any ideas?

I would like to remove a short gray edge from two images. I need help in that I am not yet able to use PhotoShop. Could somebody kindly help me with this?

I doubt it Doc Maik, but I am certainly happy to learn The image is this one (and a similar one). They would be beautiful portraits if not for the "extra mouth". The grey edge that I would like to remove is the excess of (grey) mouth that is actually my horse's chin, but that in the pictures looks like a wider, looping mouth. Practically, looking at the picture, the "extra mouth" to the left. What I would love it to be able correct that to look like a normal mouth, which means that half of the protruding edge should be removed. I am not sure I was able to explain myself, but here is one of the two pictures. I thank you for you kindness in being available to advise me.

Can I output sound from MBP via firewire or usb to DAC

I would like to output sound (iTunes) from my mid 2008 MBP to a digital to analog converter using either firewire or usb to play on my home stereo.
Is this possible and if so, could someone step me through how to accomplish this?
Regards,
Jim P.

This is posible, you need to do some reaearch to find out what will be the optimum converter that is compatible. Off the the side of my head...I don't know. But it is doable.

No sound from speaker port with X-fi, but headphones and line out are f

After going through a lot of driver updating yesterday, I encountered several bad drivers and had to do a system restore a few times. However, after I did that my Sound Blaster X-fi card stopped putting sound out through the speakers. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, updating the driver, reconnecting everything, running diagnostics, and looking at the system settings, but nothing works. Oddly enough, when it's either disabled or not used as my default playback device (apparently I also have a Realtek AC97), the speakers will play, but when I try using X-fi it doesn't. The odd thing is that the AC97 was one of the corrupt drivers (which I removed and returned to its original driver, don't know what the date was), but the X-fi didn't have any problems at all, but now it seems glitchy whenever I try to do anything with it, including trying to uninstall the drivers and looking it up in the System Information console. The Device Manager says I have the most recent driver for the X-fi right now, but even if I roll it back it still doesn't work. Can somebody please tell me what I should do, because this seems like a software issue to me. OS: Microsoft Windows XP Edition (Service Pack 2)System Model: Dell DXG05

EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM HERE!
I havent got another motherboard to test my x-fi xtreme music on, but it's a very frustrating problem, if i boot up from cold the soundcard is either not recognised or is recognised but there's no sound output.
My motherboard is ASUS P5E3 Pro,
Memory: 8GB OCZ DDR3 600
Cpu: x9650 extreme @ stock 3.0GHz
Psu: Coolermaster 850w modular
Gfx: HD 5770 (will be changing this to a HD4890 soon as it's rubbish)
Ive tried all sorts of combinations to try and get this soundcard working properly, stick of ram, etc... NOTHING WORKS AND IM ANNOYED!
Ive played about with just about every bios setting i can find (theres a lot on this board) and still no luck, i've got the latest bios flashed and everything is upto date, as a musician this problem is very irritating, having to reboot the computer about 3 times to get the sound working! even then theres problems with sound drop-outs.
Makes no difference if i use windowsXP or windows7 the problem still remains, i might ask asus to make a bios update for this problem because im not sure if creative have the answers.

Mac mini 2014 won't do 5.1 surround sound from HDMI port

I can't seem to get my Mac mini 2014 to do 5.1 surround sound from the built-in HDMI port to my home theatre system. When I run the Audio MIDI Setup program the only option is 2ch-24bit (stereo). Now I didn't have this issue when I tested it with a Mac mini 2012 running 10.9.5. It allow me to select 6ch-24bit (5.1) and Encoded Digital Audio. I also don't have an issue with the Mac mini 2014 if I use a Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter connected to one of the Thunderbolt 2 ports. It does 5.1 surround sound just fine. So is there something wrong with the built-in HDMI port on the Mac mini 2014 or OS X 10.10?

Inputs From Hi-End Analog Audio -- A/D Conversion

I would like to transfer rich, warm analog sound from vintage McIntosh equipment, Ortofon MC, from records, 78s, and cassettes to digital form. I know that in the music industry, stand-alone analog to digital converters are used. How do I find an "audiophile" quality analog to digital input concerter?
Thank you,

No sound from front or read audio jack

I am using an 810-230qe Phoenix Envy with WIndows 8.1 Pro. I am unable to hear sound from the front headphone jack or the rear audio jack. Speakers also do not work from the rear jack. I have an HDMI cable connected to my monitor, however, I went into the NVIDA controls and disabled sound for that.
I have uninstalled the driver and then reinstalled. No luck with either jack. Headphones work in all other devices. I have even tried different headphones. This is a new computer, just a few days old and this is the first time I tried to use sound.
Any ideas?

I understand you are having audio issues on your HP ENVY Phoenix 810-230qe CTO Desktop PC. You stated that you disabled the audio on your monitor does that mean it worked before you disabled it? Has the audio ever worked on this and is just not working now? If you go to the control panel and click on Sounds what devices do you see there and are they Enabled or Disabled?
If you could answer these questions it would help a great deal in getting you a possible solution. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

No sound from headphone port in 15" macbook pro mid 2012

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem. I didn't use my headphone port for a long time and then when I did I used a non-Apple headphone and when I got no sound I thought it because it was b/c of this. So when I used an Apple headphone recently I found I had the same problem. I am wondering if there is a fix out there or if it is something inherent and I need to get it repaired. I get sound from the built in speakers just not from the headphone jack. Much thanks in advance for any advice.

Deleted Database from OEM Page showing pending - Need help pls..

Hi..
I need urgent help for this issue. Yesterday I saw a production database was not communicating on the OEM home page so I deleted it from the page restarted the agent on the server and re-added it to the OEM home page (10g OEM). It has been showing pending since yesterday and is still uploading XML files. I forced an upload of files using emctl upload agent and it is still uploading and showing pending. Is there any way I can get this PRODUCTION database to show up normal and be accessible in OEM? I need help on this soon as we need to have it available in OEM for monitoring... Also, it should still have it's history even though I deleted it from the database page. Correct?
This is the status output:

Why does it show 0 as the number of files pending upload, but still uploading files? The number of file uploaded so far continues to increment.

You are able to access all the DB pages because the OMS makes a direct connection to the target DB to retrieve in information in these pages. The historical performance details are also queried from the AWR of the target DB and is not stored in the Grid control repository DB.
The status is however computed by the Agent monitoring this DB. If the DB status is incorrect though it is running, it means that the Agent is unable to compute the status or has incorrect monitoring configuration details for this DB. You can check this by choosing the Database and clicking on the 'Configure' button. Review whether all the database details are correct and attempt a 'test connection' in this page.

HP color laserjet 4600 parallel port is wierd need help to identify

Hi I have a laserjet 4600 and it has a wierd looking parallel port and I can't seem to find out the name for it so I can buy it online. I have tried looking for it online but the only thing that comes up is the IEEE 1284 36 pin parallel port. Can anyone help me identify this port so I can connect it to my computer?
Thanks

This is a working printer. It is presently hooked to a network and it works from it. I am trying to make it work from my notebook. I am using a ethernet cable wired directly to the Jetdirict card.
Do I need to set up a network. I know the IP of the printer and can not access it from the Notebook.
This should work for you. I've installed several printers using a Jet Direct this way:
Install the printer manually. Go into Devices and Printers -> Click "Add a printer" then select "add a local printer" and select the option for "Create a new port - Standard TCP/IP Port" and click next. Type the IP address of the printer into the Hostname/IP Address field then click "next" - Choose Hewlett Packard Jet Direct from the Standard drop down menu then click next. You will need to select your printer model/driver from the list and then click next.
