Screen audio with headphones

how can i record my screen audio and use headphones at the same time?? i can't evan use my headphones microphone, why??

Hey Simon Christensen,
I see that you have questions about using your headphone microphone for screen capture audio. This question can be answered by using the information in the following article:
Clicking the triangle gives you additional options, such as letting you choose whether to use the built-in microphone on your Mac, an external microphone you've connected to your Mac, or a microphone from a connected Apple display. You can also use this menu to choose the finished quality of your recording. Changing the quality from High to Maximum produces a high-quality uncompressed movie file. However, uncompressed audio files can use large amounts of disk space.
The current running file size is displayed on the bottom right of the controls while you're recording. This changes to the total elapsed time when you stop recording. The sound meter (located at the bottom of the controls) makes it easy to ensure your volume level is consistent, and is helpful for making sure you're an appropriate distance from the microphone.

HT1386 Syncing works but can't hear audio with headphones.

Syncing works but can't hear audio with headphones. Works without headphones though.

Have you tried other headphones?
What does syncing have to do with the problem?
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

How to select Thunderbolt audio with headphones plugged in?

Hello,
I'm currently using a late 2011 MacBook Pro with a Henge dock and two Thunderbold displays. If you're not familiar with the Henge dock, it has the connectors for the MacBook at the bottom and you drop the MacBook in to place. Very convenient when coming to the office in the morning.
My biggest issue has to do with headphone audio and the Thunderbolt audio. With the Henge dock I always have the headphone cable plugged in. It's imply an extender that allows me to plug headphones in when I want to use them. I've found that with the headphones plugged in, I'm unable to select the USB audio device for either Thunderbolt display.
When selecting either Display Audio device, it simply autoselects itself back to the headphones. I can't seem to use Thunderbolt audio if headphones are plugged in. This seems like a pretty large oversight, so I wouldn't be surprised if I was just missing something.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this working? If it's not possible, any workarounds that won't cause me massive amounts of pain?
Thanks!

Does anyone have any suggestions for this, been quite awhile. :/

Ipod Touch 4th Gen audio with headphones is messed up

Hi,
So recently my 4th generation ipod touch has been having audio issues when headphones are plugged in. What it does it make the audio really loud and noisy. People talking or singing cannot be understood, it is completely static and muffled. Thing is, it does not do this all the time. Sometimes it works for a little period of time and then does it again. What's weird is that if I press on the screen above the home button it stops. Once I let go it starts again.
I restored my ipod. Nothing. I reset it completely. Nothing. I don't think it is a software problem.
Could it be my audio port? Another weird thing is that it works fine when plugged into speakers. Like if I plug a aux from speakers into it. Never does the noise.
I have above 5 different headphones and they all do this. The built in speaker on the ipod works fine too.
I'll probably end up taking it somewhere to get looked at, but just wanted to get an opinion on here first...
-Thanks!

5.1 audio with headphone jack

Hi guys:
I have a question...
I need to get 5.1 in iTunes.
I have a 2ghz intel core 2 duo mac mini and a LG FA-3000 that i love.
(this one http://www.productreview.com.au/p/lg-fa-3000awe.html)
The thing is that i've been reading that the TOSlink cable or something will do the trick, the problem is that the optical input on my home theather is being used by my PS3 and the Mini doesn't have a coaxial output so that doesn't work hehehhe.
Can i make it work with a headphone jack?
Thanks so much!!!
Greetings
PS: I'm using Lion

The Plex app can output 5.1 audio, but your mac will downmix back to 2-channel when you have headphones (or any other 2-channel device) connected. Open the Audio MIDI Setup app on your mac to see your current sound output config - this is probably also required once you get digital audio working.
One idea - you could take the Toslink and DVI connections from the back of your mac into a DVI/Digital-Audio to HDMI converter box, then take the HDMI cable into your A/V setup (TV, etc). You still need the mini-Toslink to Toslink cable to connect to your headphone/optical jack on the mini, of course.
Good luck! I ran an older mini with DVI and Toslink in my home theater for years with Plex, worked great once I got everything dialed in.

Unbalanced audio with headphones

It usually happens when I plug any type of headphones in, and sometimes I notice it through the laptop speakers but usually when I play audio at the beginning of the day, the audio is slightly more to the right channel. I go to the audio settings in sys. pref. and re-center it. What's causing that? It does't matter which program I'm using. Is there some weird hotkey combo that changes the audio channel balancing?

Want to listen to TV audio with Bluetooth headphones

4Want to listen to TV audio with Bluetooth headphonesq <span class="smalltext">[size="">
<span class="smalltext">[size="">?[size="">?<div class="post">I have a Insignia bluetooth wireless headphones that I want to use to listen to my Viso VO37L flat screen TV. So I put a Soundblaster Audigy soundcard in my spare computer and connected the TV headphone jack to the input line of the Audigy?soundcard. I? now have the TV audio playing through the computers speakers. The problem is that no matter what I try I can't get the signal to the headphones. I have WIDCOMM bluetooth 5..0.3900 software installed on the computer and it works fine ,I can hear all Window XP sounds as well as the media player and other software audio. I tried using a few recording software programs thinking I could use the monitoring feature to hear the in-line input, but even though I could record the input and hear the replay I couldn't hear the monitor. This whole Idea seemed so simply but not I am thinking that "you can't get there from here". If anyone knows what I am missing I would appreciate the help. [email protected]

Welcome to Apple Discussions
It is frustrating to find content not playable on Safari. Yahoo Music is one example. The Mac does come with adequate plug-ins - if only certain sites would cooperate too! Eventually, these limitations will go away. But for the moment there is a PC bias evident in certain web sites. When I run into the Safari wall, I use Firefox as an alternative. Seems it has an easier time with media content than Safari. Have you tried it?
Not sure why you had problems with the WMP download? Flip4Mac, which lets you view Windows Media content through Quicktime, would be a good alternative for Windows Media Player.

How do you play YouTube audio with the screen off with iPod 5th gen?

I used to own a 2nd gen iPod touch, which ran on an ios 4.2.1 system, that allowed me to play YouTube with the screen off. Ever since I got iPod 5 which came with ios 7, let's say I am kinda still getting the hang of how everything works. I still would like to play YouTube while the screen is off, but seem to not know how. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? It's running on ios 8, so if you could help me with this, I would gladly appreciate it!

Hi there, you can download itube, it's in the app store, and that allows you to save youtube videos for offline play. Also, you can play youtube audio with the screen off, even without a third party app. Click on a video. When it's playing, press the lock button. Press it again, to wake the device up. You should see your video on the front of the display, with a play button. Click it, and it will start playing even if the device is off. Hope I helped, ~Samuel.

I can not see my screen, but I can listen to notifications, listen to music with headphones, and my button locked not responds

I believe the keys on an imac are F11 and F12, for dark / bright respectively.
Try that, I think it'll work.
If not, then try out all the "F" keys, one of them will work.

Why do some videos play fine on Facebook while others have only audio with a green screen?

Why do some videos play fine on Facebook while others have only audio with a green screen?

Hi,
Green screens are almost always indicative of a video driver issue. Could you please post the contents of your "Display Devices" section after generating a DXDiag report?
What is a Dxdiag report and how do I run one?
I suspect you might have an out of date video driver. This FAQ can help you learn the steps required to update:

Finally, if the driver update does not help, try disabling hardware acceleration using the steps outlined here:

No audio with video chat, but it works with screen sharing...

I've got a friend who just upgraded to snow leopard. We're both using iMacs. My computer is working find, and I have audio and video with other people.
When we video chat, there is no audio. When I screen share with her computer, with her seeing my desktop or me seeing her desktop, the audio works.
No mute buttons are down, I've checked system preferences (sound) everything is right.
Any ideas?

HAs she checked that System Preferences > Sound > Input is listing and has her Mic Selected ?
Is he r Volume high enough in the same place ?
In her Video Menu is the "Microphone " Enabled" ticked ?
In iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section is the same Mic listed ?
Do the response bars move under the Preview when she talks ?
During a Chat in Your Connection Doctor (Video Menu) is she sending any Audio ?
IS she showing as having a log more Bit Rate than you ?

Quicktime screen recording with audio

i want to record audio that is played by a software running on Mac when recording the screen.
there seems four microphone setting: none, built-in input, soundflower 16ch and 2ch. but none of them worked properly.
i found a software called iShowU that can record audio but not free.
is there anyway to record screen and audio with quicktime?

I would think soundflower could do this as screenium uses it to do just what you are saying. But I have not been able to do it natively on QT X

Why the update 10.6.7 kills my audio, only works with headphones...!!!

Yesterday i've installed the 10.6.7 update of Mac Osx and my audio has gone. The only way that i can hear a thing it's with headphones...

Is there a red light in your headphone port? There is a little switch in there that sometimes gets stuck. Try plugging your headphones, or some different headphones in under it clears up.
