No sound output through headphones or docking station

Can't get sound from my 30GB iPod classic through a docking station or headphones but all other functions work.

Have you seen this older thread on others who had similar issues with the 5G iPods.

Having problems choosing sound output through HDMI to my television, any one any ideas?

Though listed in the sounds options, I can't seem to choose a sound output to my TV through HDMI. I have sound output to headphones via the headphone socket or usb, but when I highlight to the HDMI TV option it justs returns to the top of the list, any ideas anyone?

About alsa dmix, and for the record:
On an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz, the following are my finding about
quality/cpu when mixing two streams at 44khz:
a snippet from my .asoundrc
#converter "samplerate_best" # perfect: 16%cpu, maybe overkill
#converter "samplerate_medium" # almost perfect: 6%cpu
#converter "samplerate" # good: 4%cpu, definitely usable
#converter "samplerate_linear" # bad: 2%cpu, way better than default wine resampler
#converter "samplerate_order" # very bad: 2%cpu, like the default wine resampler
Here is the reference topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=942724
I may be wrong, but in an opensource world (code reusing), i really doubt pulseaudio could lead to better quality/cpuuse tradeoff.
Pulseaudio, being just another layer atop of alsa, could only lead to higher cpu usage.

Sound Output Through miniHDMI port

I am trying to link my 13 inch MacBook Pro to my tv so I can watch videos I have on my computer on my TV. I have the mini HDMI cable converter hooked up. I am getting video from the computer to the TV but no sound. I tried a headphone to RCA converter to get sound to the TV and this works if I have the TV source set to AV. However this only sends sound to the TV and not video. And the way the TV source works I cannot select HDMI video input and av sound input. Is there a way I can force sound output through the miniHDMI cable so I can get sound and video through one cable? I would greatly appreciate any information and help anyone can provide.

Have discovered that I had not in fact updated the ios!!
Went through the process last night and my ipod now works fine on my docking station.
Thank you very much for your advice.

Since updating our iPhone to 6.1.4 we have been unable to play it through our Bose docking station - any ideas?

But you can send an e-mail without an attachment OK?
If you can, have the admins take a look at the ActiveSync logs. Something's definitely not right. I can't imagine what it would be on the phone, though assuming the Exchange account is set up the same on all of the devices.

Sound Outputted Through Internal Speakers is Distorted While Charger is Disconnected

I have a new Pavilion G7-1263nr that works great while the charger is plugged in. When I unplug the charger sound outputted through the internal speakers becomes distorted, and the mouse response is erratic.
Thanks for the help!!

Hi Giraut,
I don't have such a device to check, nor even external speakers, but I suspect this invisible file is corrupted, I'd drag it to the desktop and see if you can set it again...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPreferences<12digitHexNumb er>.plist
Might check Midi Setup Utility to see if it's set for 44.1K also.

No sound output from Maxell iPod dock

Just purchased a Silver 8GB Nano, Maxell iPod dock, and the Scosche PassPort/Adapter for 5th generation iPods, all as a gift set. The Maxell dock now charges the Nano with the Scosche adapter, but there is no music signal out of the dock's 3.5mm jack. In fact, the Nano's internal speaker remains on while sitting on the dock, charging.
I have reset the device many times using center + menu, with no changes.
Headphones plugged into the Nano's 3.5mm jack work perfectly, but no output from the Maxell dock.
Anyone used this dock, with or without a 5th gen Nano, or have any tips to fix this? I am still waiting on a reply from Maxell via email, but I doubt that will happen until next week...

I have the same problem with a 5th Generation iPod on a Jensen JiMS-195 Universal Docking Station for iPod. The sound is great using the Auxiliary jack, but I only get sound through the internal iPod speakers when it's docked. I have checked the Apple site and the Jensen site, but no luck.
Is there some setting on the iPod to change this behavior or is the dock the problem? Any response would be welcome.

Sound Output through external speakers not working

For some reason, the sound output to my JBL speaker system that is connected through the headphones jack of my iMac has cut out. When I go to the Sound Preferance panel, under Output, my choices are :
Internal Speakers
Soundflower (2CH)
Soundflower (16CH)
I have NO idea what these Soundflower things are, and don't see a standard "Headphones" option, which is the jack they are plugged into. I also don't see a way to delete these Soundflower "devices".
The sound output not working seemed to happen after a power outage in my building, so I'm going to try a powerreset of the iMac, but still not sure what is going on with this Soundflower stuff.

/System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext and restarting your computer uninstalls Soundflower.
To remove preference panes, context-click on the preference pane's icon and select the Remove option.

Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

No sound output thru headphones of midi-controller keyboard

Hi,
I'm new to Logic and am encountering the most basic of problems: I can't hear any sound from my headphones of the midi instruments played with my keyboard controller. I ran several searches in the Logic Discussions archives, but didn't find anything about this particular scenario...
My keyboard controller is connected with a USB input, and the drivers have been properly installed. I cued up a new project, set my audio preferences for headphones out, checked those settings via i-Tunes, then selected a software piano and laid down a track whose volume and notes are both registering fine. Everything looks like its working great -- I just can't hear the signal.
With this same set-up of my keyboard controller, I opened up Ableton Live and played a software piano instrument there, only this time I could hear everything fine.
I flipped through the midi sections in the User's Manual and carefully the scanned the Logic interface for something to toggle that I may be missing, but so far no luck.
Please tell me what I'm not doing! I know it's gotta be super basic...
Many thanks....
Chris

Weird.... After typing my question above, I did 2 things: I toggled the parameter on my controller for controller-only mode (to mute its synth output signal) and I tried using a damper pedal on my controller, with mixed results, after which I shut it down and fired it back up again, only to find that I had lost the output signal coming from my audio interface headphones jack. When I transfered my headphones back to the original headphones jack on my computer, I heard a signal...after resetting my Midi drivers from the now non-working audio interface to the synth/controller.
I guess my question at this point is, as a newbie to MIDI, how finnicky is MIDI? Does it require more intuitive and careful fiddling than I'm accustomed to in just keeping my computer running from day to day?
Confused....

Hear ring through speakers in docking station?

Hi All. Love my iphone but don't like to carry it with me in the house. I miss calls because the phone's in another room and I don't hear the ring. If the phone's in a docking station with speakers, is it just the ipod functionality that gets piped through the speakers or the phone's ringer too? Can you put the phone on 'speaker phone' and send and receive calls while its in the docking station?
Is there another way to boost the volume of the ringer?
Thx.

If you dock the phone it will ring both through the iPhone's speakers AND through the dock (at least my Sony alarm radio/dock works like that).

No sounds, except through headphones

HI,
My macair's peakers dont seem to be working. The sound does play through headphones, usb, and external speakers but can't seem to get the sound to come out normally. I've been through System Preferencer > Sound but everthing seems to be turned on. Help? What else can I try? Thanks

There no sound coming out of my macair, except through headphones / external speakers. How do I turn the built in speaker
Still a error there,.....your 'external speakers' are your built in speakers.
Did you mean to say -- "I have sound thru the headphone jack but NOT the built in/external speakes"
No speaker sound:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1574
also:
Reset SMC
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

No Sound except through headphones

I have an Envy Phoenix 810 PC with an Envy 23 Monitor with built in speakers running windows 7. I can test sound on the computer with headphones and they work and I can test the internal speakers on the monitor and they work but I cannot get any sound externally without headphones. I called hp support and really got the run-around. This is the same problem with my home computer same configuration except it is running windows 8.1. Both computers are new but I am frustrated with this issue. HP support had me run system recovery on my computer at home with no success. Another support person reinstalled all the drivers but still there is no sound except with headphones. Do you have any suggestions? I have a jack plugged from monitor to computer.

Hi,
Envy Phoenix 810 PC is a series of many models/products, what is yours ? How do you connect them ?
Regards.

Sound coming through headphones not T7700 speakers

I recently bought the T7700 speakers for my Audigy 2 ZS platinum pro and have been experiencing alot of problems trying to get them to work. All connections are correct, however there is no sound coming out of my left speaker, but all others are fine. I discovered when i plugged my headphones into the jack on the external hub that i could hear the sound coming out of there. I've tried uninstall all drivers and reinstalling but to no effect. Any suggestions?

Hey,
For the other person being able to hear you echo, during a Skype call. I have included the link 'Solutions to Your Skype Echo Problem'. This link will take you through different steps of try to cancel the echo. You can also try the steps in the video 'How to fix Skype echo problems and improve call quality'. Most of the steps here a duplicates of the previous link.
The last step that I would suggest is looking into the Call Echo at Skype.com/support. This site has a lot of troubleshooting information that you can try.
Regards.
