Problem connecting Audigy to stereo recei

Hi,
My system is a home built using XP home, SP2.
I'm trying to connect my Audigy sound car to my stereo receiver and also still have it connected to the desktop speakers. Bought a splitter and plugged it it into the line out jack and then plugged the desktop speaker wire into one output and the other into an rca splitter which I attached to the left and right wires from the receiver.
Problem is there is no sound on the right channel of the desktop speakers or the reciever.
Strange thing is if I unplug the wires leading to the receiver I get sound on both channels of the desktop speakers. If I plug the receiver back in I don't get sound on the right channel of either and if I unplug the desktop speakers I still don't get sound on the right channel of receiver.
Have tried different splitters and switching which side the speakers and receiver are plugged into with exactly the same results.
Any help appreciated. Have looked online and in the faqs and haven't found a solution.
Francis

have you tried going directly from your soundcard directly into your reciever? if you're going stereo mini plug (tip/ring/sleeve, /8", stereo), out to dual rca directly into your reciever, you should be in good shape. give that a whirl and see what happens.

Connecting to a Stereo Recei

How would I attach my Zen Micro to a Stereo Recei'ver?
Thanks

You need a cable with a stereo mini jack on one end and RCA jacks on the other. Very common cable available at any stereo or electronics store. Plug the mini jack into the Micros' headphone jack, plug the RCA ends into aux. or any input other than phono, adjust volume on micro so there is no distortion, but strong signal...around 20 or so and enjoy.

Problems connecting a second airport express to a stereo

Since I moved to 10.5 i lost my connection to an airport express which I had connected to a stereo.
I have an airport express base station which is working. How do I connect to the xpress at the stereo?

You need to set your main base station (the one connected to cable or DSL modem) up for WDS first otherwise there's nothing to search for when you set your remote and relay stations.
Make sure you have your base stations named so you can tell which one you are working with. I would unplug the second one when you set the first to help avoid this possible confusion.
Go to the WDS tab in Airport Admin Utility and turn on WDS. Set the base station as being the "main base station."
If you have your main base station working already this should be about all you need to set.
For the second base station, you should Turn on WDS but set it as a remote. Relay is only necessary if you want to "chain" stations together to reach more distant areas.
Click network tab and turn off distribute IP addresses if it is turned on. You do not need this as the main base station will take care of this. It should be turned on for the main station, but already is if it is working.
On the internet tab, you can leave configure using DHCP on, but you do have the option to set the addresses manually. I would recommend using DHCP until you are more familiar with how to set this.

After iOS5 update, iPod no longer connects to car stereo

Hi,
my husband and I both have an iPod touch 4th generation.
We also have a Dodge Caravan with a car stereo, that lets up hook up the iPods and control them over the display. The cable does not charge the iPods, but we knew that.
I have updatedt my iPod a while ago and never encountered any problems with the car stereo.
My husband updated his iPod to iOS5 today, and the car stereo does not connect via the cable. On the iPods display it just says, an error has ocurred.
Would that be a hardware issue? The iPod is a month or two past warranty. We already tried restarting and resetting the iPod (not to factory settings).
Is there maybe a way, to return the iPod to iOS4?
Thanks for any help

Sometimes, when you cannot "see" your ipod, it is because the drive that was assigned to the ipod, when you connected it, is already being used by the other devise. Your ipod is connected, but is "under" the other item, which means that you have to disconnect that item, so that you can "see" it. It will not be one of the drives that are normally associated with the computer like the C drive, or the ones assigned to your disc drives. It would be a drive that was assigned to an external devise, or another USB devise. This may or may not be your problem, but it is worth a shot.

"Comm Error" message when connecting to car stereo

When connecting my 80G IPod to the port in my car, the IPod screen rolls horizontally, then says "OK to disconnect", and the stereo displays the "Comm Error" message. I was able to connect to the stereo before but don't know what happened to cause this. Re-setting the IPod did not resolve the problem. Has anyone else seen this? Please help!

I’ve got a 30gb ipod doing the same thing. I know it’s not the car as my friends nano works fine on it. Have you have any success?

Problems connecting Nano 7th generation to bluetooth in car

Why does my new nano 7th generation have problems connecting to my cars's bluetooth. All it does is search, search, search.etc etc etc?

Does your car use the A2DP Bluetooth profile? If not, I'm afraid you won't be able to connect the iPod to your car stereo system via Bluetooth.

IPad is connected to a stereo installation - no control of the volume by the iPad

When my iPad is connected to a stereo installation, there is no possibility anymore to control the volume by the iPad.
'the volume control' is replaced by 'dock connector' on the iPad

This issue manifests as The volume control shows sound effects on screen or phantom docking no volume slide control.
For the beginners, the issue is often the side switch is set to mute on off and not screen rotation lock. The switch is off. (see settings)
Other issues around software and airport use can be resolved by hard reset, or reset options inside the settings. I use AIRPORT all the time.
You may have even tried the re-installing the firmware/ios
So when all has failed to work, the you may have dock connector PIN 21 problem.
I had an issue that started with the ipad whe it was on USB cable to PC.
No drop, no sudden cable movements. Just gone....
No volume slider. IPAD behaves as if it was docked when not.
Slight movement when usb cable is in occasionally brings the volume control back but only for a few seconds then it disappears.
Mine is going back for repair/replacement.
cheers Phil

Humm when connecting Audigy 2 ZS to home ster

I'm connecting an Audigy 2 ZS to a home stereo. I'm using a /8 stereo-to-RCA in jack to hook up to the L and R on my home stereo receiver.
While I *am* getting sound, there is a serious humm, and the sound isn't as loud as I would have expected.
The receiver is a Pioneer Elite VSX-45TX, and I've got the SB hooked up to the CD in connection (the dvd/cd player is hooked up elsewhere).
Why am I getting such horrible humm? I don't get this when I use the PC in my office using the Yamaha powered speakers.

Are you trying to connect Analog (2 way stereo) OutPut signal (from Audigy) to Digital-InPut (CD/DVD input) channel (on Pioneer)? Try to connect those R/L (RCA) to AV Input (stereo).
From VSX-45TX site - Connectivity:
* RS-232
* USB - Rear
* Multi-Channel Input- All
* Multi-Channel Outputs - All
* Digital Input - 5 (2 coaxial, 3 optical w/front)
* Digital Output - 2 optical
* 6 Audio / 5 A/V Inputs (including Tuner) !!! ANALOG INPUTS
* 2 Audio / 2 A/V / Video Output
* Phono Input
* S-Video - 5 In / 2 Out
* Component Video In/Out
* Front A/V Inputs
* Banana Speaker Terminals
* AC Outlet
You can connect Audigy to Pioneer using digital or analog? Digital would be the best choice. RTFM (for both devices) to find out how these connections are done (which output on audigy and input on pioneer should be choosed with analog/digital. Shouldn't be hard reading.)

Had a Airport Express connected to my stereo and it was working. I brought an Airport Extreme and suddenly it took over and Airport Express stopped working and disappeared from Airport Utility. What I am supposed to do? ar2ro

I have an Airport Express connected to my stereo and it was working without any problem.
Recently I bought an Airport Extreme to use it as my Base Unit connecting it to my DSL.
I followed the instructions of the Airport Utility, and it started working.
Suddenly, problems started happen the Airport express that was connected to the stereo , stopped working and it disappeared from the Airport Utility area , as it did not exist in the network. I tried to reset it but it did not appear in the Airport Utility page.
Apparently I have other problems with the private network that it created because I cannot use it because of problems with the password that was created. I can only use the network that I created for my guest...
I dont know if my problem is a configuration problem or there is problem with the equipment.
I read that other users where having the same problem with the Airport express , using non apple equipment as their base unit , but I thought that using the Airport Extreme was going to be compatible and no problems would happen.
What should I do?

Common Problem. Common solution.
Connect your Express via ethernet cable to the Mac while other network connections on the Mac are switched OFF.
After the Express shows up, change the settings of the Express to join the existing network. Take the appr. settings.
Unplug and reconnect your Mac to the network.
Check if the Express shows up in Airport Utility
Alternative solution:
Hardreset the Express to factory settings
(while on power push the Pin next to the audio plug with a paperclip. Plug out the Express still holding down the little button then replug the Express to power and release button)
After that, the Express will show up in the Airport Utility.
Make all needed settings.
I would prefer the first solution, its easier just to plug a cat5 cable.

I'm trying to set up my Ipod, but when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could not sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'.

I just bought a 3rd generation ipod touch. It was professionally refurbished. I'm trying to set it up, and everything seems to be working fine, until we get to the wifi. I live on campus and our wifi is username and password protected. I signed in and everything seemed to work fine, and in the top left hand corner I have all the bars for wifi. However, when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could no sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'. I've tried turning it on and off again, tried signing on to our wifi again, but it all isn't working. What can I do?

I also encountered the same problem. Try using a different email address or try signing in later.

Problems connecting multiple macs to an Airport Extreme network.

I think this problem is similar to a previous post, but is individual in some ways.
I have 2 Airport Extreme basestations covering a large flat connected by Ethernet extending a single network. I did try to extend the network wirelessly, but this was plagued with problems where the network would work for 10 mins, then drop out as I think the basestations are slightly too far apart.
Connected to the network are a number of machines:
Wirelessly we have 3x iPhones, 1x G4 Cube, 1x iMac (current model), 2x MacBook Pro (previous model) & 1x PC.
Wired via a hub is an Apple TV, PS3, Nintendo Wii, Denon Home Cinema Amp, PS2
For aprox 6 months I have had major problems connecting all the wireless machines at the same time. I have played around with the security as per previous posts with varying degrees of success.
I seem to have the most problems with the iMac. The iMac will not join the network when there is any form of wireless security. Every time I try to set up a password it hangs when trying to join and I finally get the "There was a error joining xxxx network".
After more playing around I managed to get all the machines working by having no security on the network and locking the network down by MAC addresses.
Since last Thursday I now have a new problem. The iMac joins and stays on the network perfectly, but the second my second MacBook Pro is switched on and joins the network, the internet connection on the iMac drops out. In addition, as we use the iMac as a media server, all other machines connected to the iMac for either file sharing or iTunes sharing then get the error "the remote machine is failing to respond. Please check firewall settings if there are any". What is strange is that the iMac remains on the network, full signal, independent IP address and the second the MacBook Pro is switched off, works perfectly again.
I have tried wiping both the iMac & the MacBook Pro and re-installing their operating systems, but this only solves the problem for aprox 24 hours then all of a sudden the issue re-appears.
Can anyone out there help?

Let's double-check the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) settings ...

TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

Problem connecting MacBook to a Sharp video projector

One of the great things I like about Macs is the easy way they (usually) connect to a video projector. Unlike a lot of my friends who run PCs with Windows I never had any problems whatsoever connecting my MacBook to a projector at the university and start my presentations.
Until today that is.
I tried to connect my MacBook with Apple's mini-DVI to VGA adapter to a Sharp ("Notevision") video projector and although the MacBook had the projector (even with its correct name "PG-M20X" and available resolution settings) listed under "Displays" immediately, I couldn't get the projector to show any more than "no signal" whatever input source I chose...
What did I do wrong? Or is it the projector that is somehow "incompatible"?! Please help!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) Core Duo 2GHz, July 2006
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) Core Duo 2GHz, July 2006

Maybe this could help as well:
After we tried several things with the MacBook (reboot, "detect displays" etc.), we successfully connected a Powerbook (15", FireWire 800, late 2003) to the projector, using Apple's DVI-VGA Adapter.
So that did work out fine, but the MacBook didn't work on the projector. The cable that came with the projector was a VGA--DVI-A cable: there were only a few pins on the DVI-end of it going into the DVI-Connector on the projector. Could it have something to do with that? But why didn't the Powerbook have any problems connecting to the projector then?
