Playing analog audio out to sonos connect from Apple TV

We have Apple TV playing to our stereo via HDMI, and we have been unsuccessful in getting audio to our Sonos Connect Amp. We are using the Optical output from the Apple TV and playing into a DAC which converts audio to Analog for the Stereo inputs on the Sonos. Is there some setting we are missing to get this to work? We would like listen to whatever is playing on the Apple TV on our homes Sonos zones.
Thank you,
JT

No. This would be airplaying to multiple devices at once using an iOS device. You can do this though in iTunes on a Mac if you have to.

Is analog audio out supported using the new lightning cable adapters ?

Is analog audio out supported using the new lightning cable adapters ?

Yes. Both adapters (the .2m adapter and small adapter with no cable) have built in DACs just for that purpose.
For more information, read this story. It's a little long but it will explain in further detail:

I personally have a speaker dock thing from iHome. It uses analog audio. I have tried it with both types of adapters and it works perfectly.

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.

Try a different cable and a different HDMI port.

Splitting digital/analog audio outs?

I'm wondering if there's a way to split the audio out of an Intel Mac Mini into both analog and digital outputs. I'd like both active at the same time.
I've got a Mini in my home theater rack now, which is great. To keep things easy to use for the rest of the family I have the audio and video going straight to the TV. The TV only has analog in for audio. But I also want to run optical digital audio to the receiver to take advantage of the big speakers when appropriate (not used every day).
Conceptually it might need just a splitter, but I've never seen such a thing.
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to do this in a trivial fashion. The mini will detect what you have plugged into it (analog or digital) and will only output the proper data.
What I have at home to work around this issue to route digital content to my 7.1 receiver yet stereo to my whole house cable channel is to take the digital out from my receiver and pipe it through a device that converts the digital signal to analog.
The only thing I've been able to find to do this for a somewhat reasonable price is the Thrustmaster. Its quite a hack as this is intended to be used with a set of headphones but it works pretty well.

TNS Timed out error when connecting from internet

All,
Apologies if I am missing something simple...
I have set up a test 9i database on a Win 2003 Server, and I can connect to it fine from within my LAN. I am trying to connect to the same database from the internet, but am getting a TNS:Operation timed out error.
I believe I have set everything up correctly:
-Port Forwarding port 1521 on my simple Linksys router/firewall
-TNSPing gives me a sub-second OK (from the internet)
-I can get a TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME error if I purposely screw up the service name in the tnsnames.ora file (proving, I think, that I can connect to the Listener from the outside internet)
Am I missing something simple? Why can I ping the listener but not get a response when trying to connect to the database (database is working, I can connect from within my LAN)?
Do I need to download and install the latest release for Win Server 2003?
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for your response, Michael..
Is this something new in 9i? The reason I ask is that I swear that while working on another project last year I was able to set up a development 8i database in my home office and was able to allow my client hit this database from their own location (in Peru, via the internet) using a vb.net app that I had built. The only thing I did on my home router was to forward port 1521.
If my memory is wrong or things have changed since then, then what other ports other than 1521 are used to connect? Security is not really an issue, as I am just trying to set up a test database in order to Q/A an application I'm building.
Thanks in Advance,
Chris

Optical digital and analog audio out

I just purchased a Pavilion 500-214 with IDT High Def Audio CODEC / DTS Sound+
Is it possible to get both opitcal digital audio out and analog (speakers/headphones) out at same time? Stereo amp needs access to both for multizone/source function. I can manually pick one or the other before playback - it is clunky in that when switching audio out devices the active will turn off but one switching to does not always turn on. But i really need both simultaneously active for amp to work properly. I have also found rear speaker jack to be more stubborn during switching than front headphone jack.
This question was solved.

Hi zombi1,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I have done some research on whether or not one can utilize both digital or analogue audio out at the same time, and unfortunately this is not possible.
Thank you for posting, and Happy Earth Day!

Audio out of AirPlay port using apple Tv ad iPad

If I use AirPlay to play from my iPad to my Apple TV, via the Airport Express, can I get audio out of the port on the AirPlay?

No. This would be airplaying to multiple devices at once using an iOS device. You can do this though in iTunes on a Mac if you have to.

Can I make a connection from Apple TV to HD television other than HDMI?

Question:
With only 2 HDMI ports on my HD TV, and the apparent need for 3 -1 for a Blu-Ray DVD player, 1 for connection to Apple TV, and one to connect to HD cable modem, I feel stuck.
What do I have to do, how much will i be giving up?
Is getting a cable box with two HDMI connectors the solution?
Or other equipment?
Tthanks,

Cable modems do not have HDMI ports and do not connect to tvs. Maybe you mean a cable set-top box?

What's the best solution for audio out of sound files from a MacBook Air to both an amplifier and to a subwoofer amplifier? I'm using the MBA to play sound files for worship services at our church.

I have a MacBook Air (13", 1.7GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD) that I'll be using to play sound files (primarily organ and piano) for worship services at my church. We'll be using a QSC RMX2450 650 Watts/Channel amplifier with Community CPL-27 speakers and also a JBL SUB 250P powered subwoofer with its own amplifier. What's the best option for getting sound out from the Mac to both of these amplifiers?

if you work with own recorded sounds you might wanna have a music program where you want to work with samples, steinberg has got very good ones (so they say)... but their really really ( ²) expensive(that's why almost no one haves them), magix haves good ones too bu their more for 'unprofessional' use, ableton haves really good ones too and they're not to difficult to use (if you know a bit of those programs you learn very quickly) and if you don't get them, there is a sort of manual built in it which explains and lets you do things to start (basics)
i hope this helped, btw stereo speakers are always better if you buy good ones (no pc speakers), but if you don't think you need them, don't buy them...
so again, i hope you have some ideas now

Audio out of sync importing from panasonic PV-GS500

i'm importing video from a panasonic PV-GS500. each time i try i get an error message which reads:
"the audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. this may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape."
sometimes this is true (it's totally out of sync from the start) and sometimes it seems ok. but i don't know how to figure out the audio sample rate of the tape. so how do i match it with the capture preset?

Hi. This is the exact problem I've been having trying to capture footage from my PV-GS500. Did you ever find a solution? Or does anyone have a solution to a problem like this? I'm over my head with this problem. Thank you.

Play iTunes purchased content without internet connection on Apple TV

I have this issue, If I am not connected to the internet, I can play my purchased content into iTunes on my Mac, but I cannot play it on my apple TV. as soon as I try that it attempts to connect to the internet and eventually it tells me the device is not authorized to play content. Now the apple TV is authorized to play the content just fine when I have internet, but for some reason it doesn't when I am not connected to the internet. Again this is content shared through Home sharing from my iTunes library.
As well I have only tried it with movies and music that I have purchased, not with rented content. So It would only make sense for me to be able to play my purchased content from my iTunes library regardless wether or not I am connected to the internet.
Any ideas?

Sep 11 2014: No one replied to this (or posted a response to any of the similar queries) and I would like to have had this information earlier this week so I am posting for all future inquiries.
History: Internet not available for two days (switching providers). I tried to stream from my MacBook Pro through appleTV to my home television; and I received a "not authorized" error message for any iTunes PURCHASED content. Also tried to AirPlay from the laptop to the TV and content is not viewable. Spoke with the always helpful and amenable apple support tech and...
You CANNOT stream from/through appleTV or airplay from your computer to a home TV (or any unauthorizable device) without an internet connection. Period.
Apple has determined that it's okay to view iTunes-purchased content on your 17" laptop or 21.5" iMac or iPad or iPhone or any device not connected to the internet (e.g. on a plane, etc.) BUT viewing on a 21.5" 3rd party television would be a problem. It does not make sense of course. And is especially vexing since the old appleTV also STORED content which meant you could watch without an internet connection. And I trust that apple will quickly resolve this software/programming "problem" since some day the internet will crash for long enough for apple to be bombarded with a LOT of very angry customers who will not understand why they cannot play the movies they purchased on their home televisions. apple, what are you trying to prevent? I can take my laptop to a local bar and screen RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK on the bar's 105" monitor (as long as I can connect to the internet) but I cannot watch the film at home?

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.
