No sound using Bose Soundock

Greetings, purchased Bose SoundDock yesterday. I have two ipods - a mini and a nano. The nano works well in the SoundDock, but the mini will not even though it plays fine with earphone headset. It shows that it is running and charging but no sound. I have tried all troubleshooting suggestions in the manual. When the nano is connected the remote works well. When the mini is conncected, only the pause/start button and the fast reverse/fast forward buttons work. The Off and volume buttons do not, yet they work fine with the nano. The mini is model M9804LL and is running version 1:41. Help.

I think the point is that this is a discussion area for the Mac mini computer, not the iPod mini player, so posting in the iPod discussion area would be more likely to get you an informed reply relating to your specific question.
Of course, there may be a Mac mini owner who coincidentally has a Soundock and iPod mini and experienced the same problems and may be able to help, but the iPod mini area Doung linked to would still be a good place to post this question since by the nature of things you'd be at least directing it at others who have iPod minis!

Intermittent Sound using Bose Companion 3

Hello there I was hoping that someone might be able to help me out with my sound woes. My Bose speakers are great and have a fantastic sound but recently I have noticed it either uses one or both the speakers whenever it desires. I can unplug the speakers and plug them back in and they will work just fine. I did notice I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this at all. Sometimes it will just magically switch speakers from time to time or play in both. What do you all recommend I should do? Do you think it's the multiple audio jack playing tricks on me or do you think it's the speakers?

+Hiya Appleriffic. Don't know if I have a solution but I too have Bose Companion speakers and I agree they are great. Not had the problem you describe myself, I just plugged mine into the 'Headphone out/optical digital audio out port' and they are fine. Personally, I would try them without the multiple audio jack first, maybe that's the problem, or if that doesn't solve it, maybe it could be a problem with the speakers, are they new ones? Also do check that your plugs are all fully inserted. Hope you problem is soon sorted. x+

I am using Bose AE2 headphones. The music quality is far superior when I listed on a PC than on the isphone5. Also, the volume is also considerably less. Is it something that I am doing wrong.

I am using Bose AE2 headphones. The music quality is far superior when I listed on a PC than on the isphone5. Also, the volume is also considerably less. Is it something that I am doing wrong.

There are quite a few possibilities.
The quality difference may simply be the lower volume. Hearing is not linear with volume.
How much power do the headphones require? Possibly your computer can provide greater power output than the iPhone.
Some Bose headphones have a volume compensation switch somewhere. On my QC3 its on the adapter plug at the headphone end. You have to unplug it from the headphones to find it.
Do you have volume limits enabled in the iPhone settings/Music?
Are the equalization settings the same on your computer and your iPhone?
Do you have Sound Check enabled on music that is synced to the iPhone?
Have you checked "Convert higher bit rate songs..." in iTunes on your computer?

New iPod Touch 2g wont charge on Bose soundock

I just upgraded from the original iPod Touch, it worked and charged great on my Bose soundock. Got to work today with my new touch 2g, put it on my Bose soundock and get this message "CHARGING IS NOT SUPPORTED WITH THIS ACCESSORY" The apple store page says that the Bose Soundock is compatible with the 2g Touch. Anybody have some insight??

I just got my iPod touch 2g, took it to work, and I got the SAME error when I tried to plug it into my JBL On Stage II speaker...then I got in my car, only to get the SAME error when I plugged it into my Peripheral iPod car adapter, which is hard-wired into my radio.
***, Apple....this needs to be corrected, immediately!
I called 1800APLCARE and was on the phone with them for 30 minutes, and they could not answer my issues. they told me to try another iPod touch 2g and let them know if it doesn't work as well...obviously this is a bigger problem than just my iPod 2g.
On a side note, i did get a charge when I tried it on a Logitech speaker system...
Please fix this, Apple. What good is this in my car if it won't charge? (and what good is it at work?)

I am unable to get sound using apogee jam with my guitar. I can see input levels but no sound. What step am I missing?

I think I have done something wrong. I used my Apogee Jam on a guitar project with several audio tracks in Logic Pro 9. And while the Apogee Jam still was connected, I switched to another project with only instrument tracks (synths). I forgot to change the "Built In Input". After I did this, my guitar sounds like crap when I try to use Apogee Jam in the same guitar project, or also if I create a new project. I use Guitar Rig 5 (Native Instruments) as my guitar plug-in. But the guitar sounds strange even if I don´t assign Guitar Rig.
Can somebody help me?

Can't record sound using the jack in/out on macbook pro 13 os x

hi
i bought a new macbook pro 13' intel core i5 4gb with the latest os x version 10.8.2. mainly for sound and video editing
yesterday i tried to record sound using garage band and through the mini jack port. once i connected an mp3 player to the mini jack port, the sound prefrences window recognized it as headphones and not as input jack as it did on my friend's same mac with leopard os on it.
it seems like no matter what i try to do (changing instument set up on garage band, restarting the computer with the jack in or out etc...) nothing worked
i bought this mac just so i wouldn't have to deal with these kind of problems....suppose to be a very user friendly os and hardwear.
very dissapointing. please if any one has a clue what can be done?

i'm aware of my other audio interface options, but i would expact this machine to have the basic options every 20 year old pc has, a simple plug and play difault to get audio into my computer. i bought it at b and h in NY and in their specs it says that it's a 'combo kack' - meaning both in and out analog audio ports. after cheaking mac's site it says only headphones.
also tryied to connect a digidesign mini mbox2, through the usb port, and i had to unplug it, shut down the mbp, restart it again etc.. and it also doesn't always work propely and makes all kinds of digital error sounds.
although in this case i can't that the mbox is not damaged.
over all it's very dissapointing. it's my first mac and i figured it would be a much more idiot proof, user freindly work tool.
if you got any other tips i'd appreciate that
thanx alot for the focusrite link

No sound using stereo mixer with speaker balance s...

No sound using stereo mixer with speaker balance set between approx 95-100% of max to the right
Setup: good quality functional soundcard, fine when audio not routed via Skype, mixer enabled, Skype mic / audio auto disabled, issue present when tested using a variety of different systems, latest version of Skype was used on all machines being tested
Issue: When the speaker balance is set approx 95% to 100% to the right speaker channel using the Windows audio control no sound is generated. The issue is absent when audio is not routed via Skype. This would seem to be a Skype bug and would like to report the issue as a bug. Has anyone else encoutered this issue? Is there a resolution?

Yes, I restarted my computer yesterday and this morning all my sounds is controlled by the left/right blance percentage.

No sound using optic SP

Hi,
I have successfully installed the creative X-FI Xtreame on my PC. However i have problems hearing sound using the following configuration:
I am connecting an optic SPDIF cable to SPDIF out connection at the back of an HD DVD (Neo Neo) the other side of the cable is connected to the optic in connection at the creative panel.
I am using a 2. speaker system (which I am not sure if they are digital or analogue, although i am pretty sure they are analogue) and they are connected to "line out" connection at the creative sound card at the back of the PC.
When I play a DVD movie I cannot hear any sound.
When i tried the same using the AUX input it was ok.
Can you please help?
Regards,
Marcio

No sound using internal speakers, but I have sound using headphones

I just finished installing archlinux with GNOME3 on a laptop, everything were perfect until I detected a problem: I only have sound using headphones, the internal speakers of the computer doesn't work. I followed the official wiki step by step and I never had this problem using other linux distributions.
Any idea?

I'm having the very same issue. Each time I boot computer I have to unmute the speaker in order to have sound. Only the headphones are unmuted by default. From what I understand alsa-store and alsa-restore are supposed to run automatically on boot and shutdown only (normally they appear in inactive/dead state).
I have tried to run 'alsactl store', but this won't help.
The whole thing start happening only recently (late December). I have arch on this laptop for over 3 years and it was fine as far as I remember.
EDIT:
I have just found that this issue is due to pulseaudio 2.1 -> 3.0 upgrade. After downgrading to 2.1 it works as expected.
EDIT2:
Maybe you will find that useful, a temporary "fix". I have added to startup applications (in my case in gnome-session-properties):
amixer -c 0 sset Speaker Playback 95%
which just simply sets the speaker volume to 95% each time I log in.

Bose Soundock - Ipod Messing up when plugged into bose

Hi, yeah for my birthday i got a Bose Soundock and when i plugged my ipod into it played fine. Then when i unplugged it from my Bose Soundock, and tried to plug it into my computer, the computer won't recognize it. I have looked under the control panel settings and all the stuff i could do to find it. I need to know if my ipod is screwed forever or if it can be fixed....?

I'm having a very similar problem. Upon first connecting (after iTunes 7 update) my iPod to my Windows notebook, it prompted me to update my iPod. So of course I said ok.... While trying to update the iPod it (the iPod) frooze and didn't install the update. I found a workaround to trick to to install. (Tell it to update it, disconnect for a few seconds and reconnect, it won't freeze and will restart and install the update.)
Anyhow, now that the iPod has been updated to 1.2 software, I get artifacts on the screen (blocks & lines of various colors) and eventually it freezes up. I thought I'd try to restore the iPod, however, doing so did NOT really help. I still get the screwed up screen and frozen iPod! Although, it didn't freeze when it was updating the iPod with all my content (had prior to restoring).
Not sure what Apple did, but they sure messed this one up!!
EDIT: I found this post, which describes exactly what I've been dealing with... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=637616&tstart=0

IPhone not charging in bose soundock, why?

Why does the iPhone 4s not charge in the Bose Soundock? Has always played music, but will not charge.

Have you checked Bose's technical specs? their support website?

After I updated to iOS 7, I cannot play music on my Bose soundock how?
