Satellite A350 - Sound Line Out And Speaker

When I plug in my Hi-Fi lead to the line out the speakers still keep playing the sound.
How can I mute the speakers but still have sound coming through the line out connection?

Hello
Default setting is when you connect headset or some external speakers using audio-out port the speakers will be off automatically. So I am really confusing why this doesnt work with your notebook. Maybe you have changed some settings.
Anyway, check playback settings in sound properties and all settings in Audio Manager thet you can find in Control Panel.

Possible to use audio line out and in simultaneously ?

In the current version of MacBook Pro Retina is it possible to use the analog audio line out and line in both simultaneously ? That is playback as well as record analog audio at the same time.
Does anyone know what is the audio hardward platform (Codec, DAC, ADC, etc..) in this machine ?
Thanks!

Air has a headset jack.
You can use a splitter
Mics should be USB capable for best results, almost all headset mics are junk quality.
then monitoring or listening thru the headphones
consider using a PRO MIC , such as an Audio Technica AT2020 USB

or better still use one of these with pro XLR mics:

Line out and Sound Effects revert to Internal Speakers when I reboot. Any suggestions?

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro that runs fine under Yosemite. The Sound preference panel worked under Mavericks, but now I must open the Sound panel and manually change the output for both Output and Sound Effects from Internal Speakers to Line Out after a reboot. This is irritating and is becoming more so.
I've zapped the PRAM with no success.
Would an AppleScript app on startup work? I can't seem to find any appropriate commands in AppleScript that affect these parameters.
Any help appreciated.

The script doesn't seem to work on Yosemite. Trolling around in the library, it appears that "audio" is now "sound," which would explain the file not found.
Or am I missing something?
Suggestions?

2009 Mac Pro no audio out from Line Out and/or Digital Out.

Hey guys, I recently bought a new tv which has an optical input and thought I'd buy an optical cable to connect it to my Mac Pro's (4.1 model 2009 I believe) digital out port which I have never used before .
The issue I'm facing since is that I can't get out from my mac pro to my tv. I also bought a cable to direct sound from my mac pro's line out, to my tv's red/white stero audio ports.That didn't work either.
When I select Digital out as the default audio output in Sound preferences the OS says that there are not default audio controls for that device and the sound icon in the menu bar is greyed out while when I switch to line out output I can control volume but no audio is coming from my TV.
I've been searching on forums and didn't find any relevant answer so if someone knows what may cause this that'd be really helpful.
*ALSO: I've got windows 8 instaleld on my mac pro as well. The digital out doesn't work there as well although the line out does send sound to the TV.
** I also have soundflower installed and perian although I don't think any of them would mess things up like that.
Do you think this is a problem with my Mac or is this a common Mavericks issue (sorry forgot to mention I'm on 10.9.2)
Many Thanks,
Thanos.

That's normal. Is the correct audio input selected on the TV?

Keyboard line out and griffin imic incompatibility?

I'm getting horrible background noise when I try to record my keyboard (Yamaha PSR-225GM ) headphone line out through my Griffin iMic into Garageband. I assume it's a level issue but even the keyboard volume control won't fix the problem nor will system settings for the input device. My Sony stereo mic into the same iMic input sounds fine. Headphones attached to the keyboard line out sound fine too so I don't believe it's a quality problem with the line out. Can one not use a headphone output into the Griffin iMic?
If not, anyone got suggestions for higher quality audio input into the iMic flat panel (e.g. some USB box) that's compatible with various audio equipment (mics, keyboards, guitar amps, 1/4" and 1/8" and RCA plugs etc.)? The iMic has served me fine, but maybe it's time to start looking for something higher quality, and more versatile. Thanks.
By the way, anyone know why sometimes there's a delay (half second or so) between audio in and the monitors in Garageband, and sometimes not? It makes performance nearly impossible when there's such a big delay.

tell me if I'm on the right track on the
following theories (I don't know if the following are TRUE):
I'll do the best I can...
1) The quater-inch headphone output from the Yamaha
keyboard is neither "balanced"
Correct, the headphone-out is not balanced. A balanced output uses 3 wires, a graound, a hot, and another hot that's 180° out of phase with the first. This is a neat trick in that two signals 180° out of phase with each other cancel each other out sp you get zero signal. In the case of a balanced out if noise is introduced, it is in phase on both cables. On the other end when the signal on the out of phase wire has its phase flipped, your original signal is now in phase on both legs, and the noise is 180° out of phase with itself, and thus is canceled out.
nor impedance matched
to the Griffin iMic.
The impedance is not a problem here. As I understand it, the headphone-out is High Impedance, and so is the iMic's In.
(I'm using a 1/4" to 2.5 mm
converter cable). I am possibly getting radio
interference (I DID get a local radio station when I
touched the plug right!!) and degrading the signal
because of these two issues.
Possible. A Low quality cable and or adaptor could offer an entry point for noise.
2) It may be necessary to put the signal from my
keyboard's headphone jack into a DI (direct box) to
get impedance matched to mixer levels - the levels I
assume the Griffin iMic expects.
No, this shouldn't be true. A headphone-out is actually much hotter than a Line-In, so the level should be able to offer more than enough signal, and the impedance is matched.
3) I'm HOPING that a high quality audio-to-USB (or
firewire) input box can perform the job of the direct
box.
It could, but the weak point I see is that you're stuck using a headphone-out instead of a Line-Out. I don't think a DI box is going to help any in comparison.
Hmmm, I just glanced at your computer list. Doesn't the iMac have a Line-In jack? Have you tried skipping the iMic and going straight into the iMac?
Finally, if anyone can give me the list of equipment
in order from a keyboard to Garageband
I think it could be Keyboard -> Mac
Other combinations would just be sticking an interface between the two (Keyboard->interface->Mac)

5.1 rear out doesn't work, but line out and front stereo does

I got my new HP Pavilion p6-2440el Desktop today, but when I tried to plug my 5.1 audo to it (the one with the 3 jacks) it turned out that the 5.1 audio doesn't work, and the Windows'es "playback devices" panel lists the "IDT High definition audio" as not plugged. Sticking any jack to the front or into the line out in the rear changes it to plugged, but obviously with the stereo sound only. I even tried to download the more recent audio driver (found it in google, 6.10.6486.0, the one I got from the Windows update had a lower version) but it's still the same. Any idea how I can fix it? Thanks.

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial computer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .

Line out and headphone problems

Just recently I have started to have a problem where if I use the line-out funtion of my iPod audio will not come out of the headphones afterwards. I use the Belkin auto-kit so I just connect my iPod whenever I drive somewhere, and it annoys me that I have to reset my iPod every time I want to listen through my headphones. I have tried unplugging and plugging back in, increasing and decreasing the volume, pausing/resuming, and changing songs but to no avail. The only solution is resetting the iPod. I was just wondering if anyone out there has had this problem, or knew if there was a more practical solution than just resetting the iPod every time.
5g iPod 30GB Windows XP Pro

Went to the genius bar earlier today to have my Mac Pro looked at. They said that front board and backplane failure is fairly common. In fact, the genius mentioned that his own 12-core suffered the same issues insofar as audio crackling and eventual analog out failure.
I should be getting it back in 5-7 days.

USB sound card sound drop outs and glitches

Hi there, I have been using a Lexicon Omega USB sound card with my Macbook Pro unibody and have been experiencing a failure when running two programs that try to output sound.
e.g. iTunes will be constantly playing music and another program such as safari pings me when I have a Facebook chat message or if there is a sound when a file has finished copying or i try to play a youtube video at the same time or I play a track in spotify, the sound card freaks out and makes clipped distorted noises then stops outputting sound to the amp and seems to stop receiving a USB signal.
The curious thing is that after reconnecting the usb cable, all is fine again and both programs WILL play simultaneously, so it should be possible?
This is really starting to drive me a bit mad as I cant play music and chat online at the same time without the sound crashing.
I presume it has something to do with what program is assigned to the core audio driver and another program confuses it, like when running Logic Pro which seems to take over the whole sound card for its functions and won't share.
Perhaps there is something in OS X I could fix or change to get round this or perhaps its just the sound card not working properly and not the fault of OS X.
Would be grateful for any advice or if anyone else has this issue.
Harvey

Be absolutely certain that all of your 3rd party software is fully compatible with Snow Leopard - visit the manufs. sites for updates & info until you're current, etc.

Why do the movies i have bought from itunes store the sound cuts out and glitches?

The sound cuts out of the movies I have bought. Can anyone tell me why?

You can't. Sorry. Encrypted movies in no way can be played back thru the VGA adapter.
You could do the following:
- get the Apple TV and stream the video to it. If you only have VGA input in your protector, get a HDMI -> VGA converter box. I use the one at http://www.dealextreme.com/p/hdmi-to-vga-video-converter-71816 for this purpose. It's pretty cool for the price - nevertheless, there're better models for more money; let me know if you need further recommendations on them. (Note that I haven't tested this unit with a direct HDMI output from the iPad yet. Will do it soon.)
- if the projector does have HDMI input, test it with the HDMI adapter. Hope the projector supports HDCP.

When i play music on my ipad mini no sound comes out and when i use the volume button it says headphones like headphones are connected and they are not.

when i play music on my mini no sound comes out, so i push the volume button thinking it was turned down and it keeps saying headphones like headphones are connected and they are not even plugged in>

Hi Try a, reboot, press & hold power button & menu, button, hold both down until you see Apple Logo. Before you do Reboot, Sign out, of itunes on ipad then sign, back in this may help. Cheers Brian

Digital I/O why can't I have line outs and line ins in the same application?

I have a problem with my digital lines. I have several "write to digital line" VIs, and I also need some "read from digital line" VIs. My problem is that when I supply 5V to the line in, it doesn't register high. I checked this on a separate program, and when I did not have a "write to digital line" , the "read from digital line" was at 5V (I checked it with a multimeter). As soon as I included a "write to digital line" in the program, the input was jumping around 1.3V. What is the problem here?

Hello,
I apologize for the delay in responding to your question. You are writing to digital channel 0. This is the same thing as digital port 0. A port is simply a collection of digital lines. Since you are reading and writing to lines 0-7 on channel 0, the Write to Digital Line and Read from Digital Line VIs are resetting the state of the port every time they are called. I notice you have wired a 0 to the iteration count of all the write VIs, but nothing to the read VIs. To fix this problem,
Wire a 1 to the iteration input of all the write VIs except for one. This last VI you can either wire a 0, or leave it unwired as 0 is the default.
Wire a 1 to the iteration input of all the read VIs.
I have m
odified your VI in this way and attached it below. Ideally, you would want to write to a line with 0 for the iteration count only once (outside the loop). The modified VI will do it at the beginning of every loop iteration. I have tested it here and it seems to work without problems. The reason for the modification is that both the high level read and write VIs reset the port when they are called unless you wire a nonzero number to the iteration input. This effectively tells the VI that the port has been initialized and it can skip it.
Feel free to post again if you have further questions. Happy coding,

Satellite L500: WLan drops out and doesnt work most of the time

hi everyone, i have a toshiba satellite L500 running windows 7. have been using iprimus internet, wirelessly, no problems for a few weeks,before that, was using it via ethernet cable as i didnth ave a wireless modem. my laptop was off charge the other night and went flat, next morning when i woke up and turned it on, it wouldnrt connect to the internet.. after hours and hours of phone calls to iprimus, and numerous winsock resets, ethernet cable testing, and modem resetting, they tell me that the problem is within my laptop...
So i rang toshiba.. and they got me to go into device managers, and then network adapters, and disable, actually uninstall the wireless drivers, then reinstall.. and it worked.. finally... (forgot to add with all the iprimus confusion someone had reset my passowrd and i had to configure that to the laptop..
so anyway, after all these calls, i did a complete restore of the laptop, and wiped everything and reinstalled it all, and therefore reinstalled the modem. this time in modem setup it was telling me the wireless network adapter was unplugged, and would only let me set it up via ethernet..
now earlier today i did have the internet.. but it dropped out randomly.. webpages will go slow, sometimes it will reconnect, other times it wont. now i thougbht i might try and uninstall and reinstall the modem again,s ame error, and this time, cant get on wirelessly at all.
ive googled to see if others ahve had this problem.. and seeing what other people wrote, i went into my battery settings, and checked the WLAN didnt go into sleep mode etc, and ive also checked everythings enabled. ive no idea what to do,, neither iprimus or Toshiba will give me any anwers, both companies are just blaming each other lol
so i
it does appear to be my laptop, as all lights are on modem.. and iprimus keep telling me its not registering with them ( the disconnections) so it must be my wireless. though everytime my laptop dropped out of internet, so would my bfs iphone we were testing, and so did my other laptop which is partially stuffed but could normally still connect to the net.. so thats telling me its a modem problem.. ive no idea what to do.. and cant keep this via ethernet on the bench in this new hosue ive moved into,as with 2 kids under 3, thats just asking for trouble..
anyone have any suggestion??
thanks in advance

wel after many more phone calls to iprimus, i finally found a helpful indian, who ran me through the modem setup AGAIN like everyone else has, this time in its security settings, he got me to change the wireless signal channel from 2 to 9, said that would improve the signal, every other person when explaining the issues i was having, always told me to set it on 2.. so this has improved it dramatically in the day, but at night, particulary around 830pm, it drops out over and over and over...
would this just be a faulty modem, and perhaps buying oen from a harvery norman etc would be better?? or could it just be iprimus as a whole with there wireless coverage? im not in an iprimus area, theyve borrowed the lines of telstra or something.. so im on a crappier plan in this new house, and dont have adsl2 just 1500 speed. would this have anythign to do with the poor reception, or perhaps is there something in my house interfearing, or in my neighbors house? there is a satelite here, but no actual foxtel connected, looks as though it has been before. there is also an alarm here, not in use though.. ive not even seen if it turns on..

Why is my sound grayed out and i cant turn it back on

Everytime i unplug my headphones there is a red light that is in my heaphone jack and the speaker in the top right hand corner is gray and i cant do anything about it there is no sound at all coming out.

Charge it for 15 minutes with the mains charger, then disconnect and hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons for 10-15 seconds until an Apple logo appears.

Re: On Demand- Sound Cut Out and Counter Doesn't Track

Nice to see that this is neither a new problem (been happening to ppl for over 3 years!), nor is it unique to me. my set top box is direct wired from wall to box to tv...no hdmi and yes, cables are snug... no splitters. the outside wire to the house was replaced less than 2 years ago.. yet any time we watch on demand, MOST shows develop the dreading audio clip. sound goes skippy like watching an old out of synch reel film in grade school... then dies. we have to keep hitting pause then start every 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on how bad the problem is..'checking the wires' and 'pull out the wires, turn it off for a half hour and plug everything back in ' seems to be comcasts only answer to whatever goes wrong in life. they are very much like the IT support crew in the tv series 'The IT crowd' whose sole customer support 'help' was to ask if their computer was turned on. to learn so many ppl have had this problem for so many years with no apparently resolution shoves me one step closer to ditching cable altogether. that and the fact i pay through the nose and get nearly every channel going infomercials during the night when i am up the most.

Apologies for the issue and the experience that you described above. I have asked a colleague to review your account and reach out to you so that we can get any underlying issues identified and resolved.
Thanks for your patience.

Sound cuts out and becomes distant?

# My soundcard plays music without a hitch but if there is audio on a website such as youtube or a soundboard then the sound can barely be heard and just disapears. Music is great but then also when playing games?an issue occurs,?The dialogue or certain sound effects just cannot be heard. An example i had was in far cry 2 i could hear all of the reloading sounds of the gun but not the gunshot. Please help if possible ?

Try turning off CMSS-3d or Creative Multispeaker surround system. It also sounds like you have a set of 5. speakers that have a "matrix" button which upmixes sound from 2 channel to 5 channel, and that may have activated the matrix sound button at the wrong time, or for the wrong kind of content. For example if you have a movie that is already in 5. sound and you try to upmix it with the matrix button on your speakers you will hear nothing of the center channel or dialogue.
Try toggling these options in your mixer,control panel, or on the speakers themselves.
cheers
