Outputting audio from Mac

What is the difference between using the Mini Displayport to Output audio (such as multi-channel audio) vs. using the optical out (headphone jack) via a TOSlink/Digital Optical cable to an external sound system?

MIDI is NOT audio, you cannot transport audio over MIDI cables.
So, does the Yamaha have audio inputs?

Play audio from Mac to Yamaha MIDI keyboard?

Is it possible to send audio from the Mac to a Yamaha MIDI instrument using the MIDI cables or do I need a separate audio cable? I want to have everything played using the Yamaha instrument speakers rather than the MacBook's.

Or you could buy a mono/one ear headset. http://www.beso.com/2699431644/detail

Multi-Channel output audio from Quick Time (or iTunes)

Hello all,
I am trying to get multi-channel AC3 audio output from QT and can only get two channel stereo. I have seen lots of related posts but can't quite get it.
I am trying to configure a Mac Mini to output properly via the TOS link port to my audio system. I get surround sound fine playing a DVD but not when playing a .m4v file that does give me surround sound when played on my Apple TV.
Should this be possible?

I appreciate the link Brent! I also had someone point me here http://fplanque.com/dev/mac/ac3-ac-3-5-1-surrond-sound-apple-mac-osx and all is good now.
Thanks!

Stream audio from Mac to airport without using iTunes?

Hi,
I want to know if I can stream my audio output to an airport express that's connected to my speakers without necessarily using iTunes. As an example, when watching a movie on Netflix on my MacBook Pro. The movie playback is through Safari, not iTunes so is there a way to send that audio to the airport express?
Another question: Would the new Apple TV do that too (of course not with Mac Netflix playback since it has Netflix support within it) with, for example, Sirius Media player running on my MacBook Pro?

Wow! That was quick and so effective!! Thank you!
I had never heard of that application. So now my question would be, can I do this with the new Apple TV instead of airport express??

Problems outputing audio from FCP into a mini dv

hi there
i'm trying to output a video with 2 diferrent audio channels into a minin dv through a camera. everything is fine during output but when i check the tape the audio skips and sometimes sounds a little bit squeaking. i exported everything as .mov and imported back into FCP. so im outputting everything already rendered.
does any one have an idea why this is happening?
thank you.

Could definitely be a problem with the camera, but... the most obvious thing is that your output from fcp doesn't match the format on the camera. Make sure that both are set to 48k 16 bit and that your camera is recording SP.

5.1 audio from Mac

Can someone recomend a USB audio device for a Mac that putputs 5.1 audio (6 channels).

If I remember correctly, tech support for earlier versions of Logic is offline already (which is a pity). However, 5th version was cross-platform. So, you may try looking for a clue on pc-related forums.

Transfer audio from mac to i pad

How does one transfer keynote from a mac to a i pad without losing the sound? Also lose some transitions.

Hi!
Firefox doesn't officially support this any longer. We used to have Firefox Home but it was discontinued. My recommendation is to use "Bookmarks on the go" instead of what you have already downloaded. That app has been developed by a Mozilla member and it's completely safe to use:
Check it out: [https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bookmarks-on-the-go/id550037184?mt=8 Bookmarks on the go]
You would need to set up Firefox Sync in order to use it. The following article explains everything with good detail: [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]
Let me know if this helps.

Output audio from fmle is very bad

Hello for some reason out of the blue fmle just starts having degraded audio quality and almost sound like all the audio is badly cut together

Hi,
Captivate identifies the original audio quality and imports it the same way. Please note that by default narration is recorded at 11Khz in PowerPoint. Hence it is imported inside Captivate with the same setting.
If you are using PowerPoint 2003, go to menu item Slide show > Record narration > change quality.
You will see the default setting at 11KHz.
Please change it to a higher frequency, may be 44.1KHz mono setting and then record narration. Now import the presentation inside Captivate. Audio should be much clearer.
Regards,
Mukul

Output Audio from DVD Studio Pro works on some DVD's but not others

Hello All,
Would really appreciate any help here.
My project in final cut pro 6 has audio and it plays fine on the computer as well as the dvd studio pro simulator. I send the final cut pro file to compressor and then to dvdsp to burn. Everything works fine except when I play it in some dvd players I get no sound. I have another dvd player that plays everything with no problem. This is a big problem as I can't determine what kind of player a client has.
Is there something I need to fix in final cut pro, compressor or dvdsp?
Thanks a bunch in advance for any help anyone can provide.
Please help. Thanks

Hi
What audio format did you use: AIFF or AC3?

Can make audio calls from mac pro

FaceTime and Messages setup per instructions (on phone 5s iOS 8.1 and Mac Pro13 Retina Yosemite 10.10). Can make a Face time call but not audio from Mac. The Contacts iPhone icon pops up the quickly disappears. Under Face Time call audio works but video fails,

I think I resolved this! I had the same issues you have been having for a few months. I am actually running Vista. Here is what I did...
1. While booted to Windows I uninstalled boot camp
2. Re-installed boot camp from Leopard DVD
3. Installed boot camp update 2.1 (downloaded from Apple support, i know this is for XP only, but I updated anyway.)
4. Downloaded the realtek drivers (high definition audio codecs) from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
5. DO NOT use the Realtek installer to install the drivers...instead extract the contents to a folder.
6. Go to the device manager, locate the High Definition Audio device and updated the drivers from here (point to the folder where you extracted the drivers).
I now have sound out of the rear jack!! Hope this help someone

Blaine

Problems Outputting Audio

I have a problem with outputting audio from my new iMac 21,5".
I have a belkin cable that from minijack converts to double RCA (L and R).
I also have another cable, same characteristic, but with no brand.
Both of them outputs from my iMac only a channel (or left or right, I don't know).
The iMac, with the apple headphones, plays both channel so the iMac works fine.
There is a specific cable for the iMac, or a set of cable (digital, analogic)

Perhaps there is something wrong with that adapter cable?
You can pickup one like this > [3.5mm Stereo Male to twin RCA|http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=2009&sku=40422&relatedItem=tru e] at most retailer's that sell audio equipment.
Or if your stereo has digital input this > [XtremeHD Toslink Audio Cable w/adapter|http://store.apple.com/us/product/TL955LL/A] at the online Apple Store.

Audio output from Mac mini 2009

I have a 2009 Mac mini with mini dvi and mini display port outputs. Just bought an hdmi tv to use as the display. I understand audio is not supported out of the mini DVI, but what about the mini display port? I was thinking of using a mini display port to hdmi cable. Trying to avoid an additional cable for audio.

There are two 2009 Mac mini models, Early 2009 and Late 2009. I can tell you for sure that the Early '09 Mac mini does not have integrated audio from the mini-DIsplayPort. It was my understanding that the Late '09 Mac minis built in 2009 also did not have integrated audio, but those made in early 2010 did. The only way to know for sure would be to test it. Apple reports that some m-DP adapters are not adhering to the VESA standard and even Macs with integrated audio in the m-DP do not with these poorly made adapters. Apple is only recommending the Moshi and Griffin adapters.

If your mini does not have integrated audio you can get a cool adapter that will solve that issue from Monoprice;

Audio Output from Mac Pro not working in XP

I'm trying to make the audio line output of the Mac Pro work in XP. the only sound comes from the motherboard or headphones in front of the computer.
Under audio devices say "realtech HD audio device" This is the Apple mac pro?
How do I turn the audio output on?

I think I resolved this! I had the same issues you have been having for a few months. I am actually running Vista. Here is what I did...
