Sound no longer playing through Surround Sound via TV

I have had my Mac Mini for about a year now and recently purchased a new 3D LG TV. Prior to that I had another LG hooked up through it and have a Panasonic surround sound system set up with I believe it's a Gefen digital to analog converter, because unfortunately LG only makes digital and alls that is available is analog through my surround sound. I have always been able to listen to my computer through the surround sound, however, since I purchased this new TV I have not been able to. The sound plays through the TV speaker but will not play through the surround sound yet when I change inputs over to my PS3 or DirecTv I can hear everything else except my computer. This is why I am convinced it is the computer and not the TV. I don't know if I'm missing a setting or something needed to change for this type of TV or what. I am pretty technical when it comes to electronics so I have tried changing all different types of settings and played around trying to fix this but so far no luck so who has an idea or ever heard of this before?

@mndwgz and Lousyfool
Sorry for the delay, however, I was out of town and just getting back to this issue. I'm not 100% positive but I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with the computer settings or something of the sort because like I said prior to me switching tv's it has worked no problem, both of which were connected the same exact way. Both LG tv's only have an optical digital output port on it while my Panasonic surround sound only has an A/V input. To solve this I have a Gefen Digital to Analog converter in between the connection from the TV and the Surround Sound, so my computer is not connected anything in between the computer and HDMI connection to TV. Sound comes out of the TV through the computer but will not bypass through the TV to the Surround Sound. However I know it's not the TV settings because my PS3 regardless of the HDMI input plays sound through and over all my speakers. I have not tried rerunning my computer through the old LG LCD tv connect the surround sound as well to see if it worked because all the way up until I switched to an LED tv, it had. It's weird how this is a problem but have tried switching settings, changing inputs, problemsolving etc. but just don't see how my PS3 is converted through the tv to the converter to the surround sound and my mac mini is not!

When my iPhone is connected (via the Lightning cable) to the usb port in my car, the alert tones are no longer played through the car speaker or the phone. This previously worked, but has randomly stopped working, help!

I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider? How is is at all relevant to Apple?? In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

The New Mail sound won't play through SoundSticks

After many many years of using Eudora as my E-mail client, I have finally switched to Apple's Mail. So far, so good, EXCEPT for an inability to have Mail's "New Mail" sound play through my SoundStick USB speakers.
I should mention that I use a "dummy plug" plugged into the front headphone jack of my G5 so that I don't have to listen to the startup bong when I turn the computer on. This has never been a problem because I use SoundSticks for my audio and, since the G5 can't "see" the SoundSticks when you first turn the G5 on, no bong through the SoundSticks either. Once the computer is up and running, all audio comes out of the SoundSticks. This is true of all of the alert sounds my Mac makes too. Even the "Send Mail" sound (swooshing plane) plays through the SoundSticks as it should.
But the sound I have selected for "New Mail" (no matter which sound I select) just won't play through the SoundSticks. If I unplug the dummy plug from the headphone jack I can then hear the "New Mail" sound through the internal speaker. But I don't want to hear it that way (and I don't want to permanently remove the dummy plug either).
Why is it that Mail's "New Mail" sound is the ONLY bit of Audio that I've found that WON'T play through my SoundSticks?
Help!
Mark
P.S. A friend of mine is having the exact same problem with a G4 connected to SoundSticks. He says "HELP" too!

Anyone?

How to get sour to play through mini display via vga without sound cables?

I know that many of you guys might tell me that this question is stupid or that it is impossible to do it but i run in to problems that usually the company that made the product can't asnwer it all the time. So here it is. I have the mid 2009 MBP 17 in. 2.8ghz Core 2 duo. I've been using a minidisplay to VGA cable to connect to a sony briva tv since i've had it. and most time i'd have to plug in the 3.5mm jack to get the audio working. but once just once my mac decided to give all the audio control over to the TV without the auxilary cable plugged in. See, i accidentally pressed play and i started to hear sounds. but it wasnt from my mac. and the volume was completely up to the control of the tv. it was weird yet convinent, but as i was checking the connection to see what the **** i did, i took it out of clam mode which swithch my resolution and reconnect the display with the sound having to go through the auxilary again. So if any of you have had this luck and know how to do it please help me out.

HV20 - sound won't play through firewire to system speakers during import

help please - When playing back captured HD footage on my HV20 via a firewire connected to my Dual 2.5 G5, the sound plays through the mini speaker in the camera, and not the large system monitor speakers connected to my computer. Once the footage is transfered to the computer, the clips then play back fine and the sound seems ok. But Is there anyway to get the sound to play through the computer system speakers druring import - it's difficult to properly monitor the import as the sound from the mini speaker on the camera is way out of sync with the visual displayed on the computer during the playback/import process - thanks for your help.
William

Dear SDillini:
Thanks for your reply. I've been editing video on my Mac for some years now with serveral dfifferent cameras attached via firewire and always up until now, on the HV20, been able to monitor the sound from the video tape in the camera through the computers sound system as I was deciding which clips to import and which to leave alone while playing the video in the camera through the firewire to the computer. I'm able to see the video on the computer in real time, but there is no sound except from the small speaker in the camera and it plays out of sync with the image on my computer monitor, making in and out points of capture less precise.

Apple TV 2 through Surround Sound

I just bought Apple TV 2 as my Dad wants to stream football games onto our New Hisense SmartTV. My only problem is that I want Apple TV to play through the LG DVD reciever surround sounds speakers instead of the inbuilt internal TV speakers. The surround sound speakers already works with normal TV channels and I want to keep it that way but want able to play it also with ATV2. At the moment ATV2 is only playing through the internal speakers, making me having to change the sound settings on the TV, so that internal is on again. The DVD receiever doesnt have HDMI only analog ports and an optical in. If i buy an optical fibre cable and run it from the ATV2 to the dvd receiver will that make the sound work through the speakers?
What's the best / easiest way to go?

Yes, Toslink Digital Optical cable is cheap from Amazon and connects from Apple TV into your audio receiver (the device to which your surround sound speakers are connected). BUT Make sure you have the Audio & Video setting in your Apple TV right (Doby Digital, etc.) and that when you are playing Apple TV through your surround sound speakers. If no sound comes out, make sure that your surround sound device (DVD/Blu Ray player, etc.) is set to the right function: TV, not DVD or regular audio.
This blog has a short tutorial about this too: http://www.caramooneydesigns.com/blog/2015/01/12/how-to-connect-your-apple-tv-to -surround-sound-speakers/
Hope this helps!

When song played with surround sound, vocals removed! :O

hi all, hope you can help.
first of all, why any1 would want to play music thats recorded/editted and mixed using 2 channels in surround sound is beyond me, but some people do, or even may do it accidentally.
i finished editting some songs the other day and sent them over to the guy putting them out, 1 song has the main vocal completely centered, no panning whatsoever, sounds fine through speakers/headphones, but if surround is activated, the vocals completely dissapear.
i think this has something to do with surround not playing what is mixed dead centered, but was wondering 1. why? and 2. if theres anything i can do as a quick fix without having to mess with the song too much, and 3. how would i avoid this in the future, without having to duplicate the track and pan each 25 each way?
:S
thanks for reading,
andy

thanks, maybe if i new abit more about surround that would help, i actually managed to recreate what was happening by oing into the mixer and clickin sum to mono on the vocals tracks (what does "summed" means in this context?).
ive come to the conclusion that whoever plays the tracks in surround isnt going to hear the main vocal, but i am really baffled by this as, as im sure you guys now how useful the centre channel remover function thingy for removing lead vocals, which suggests to me that a lot of music has the lead vocal completely centered, yet ive never heard any other song in surround that has had the lead vocal completely removed (admittedly if you mute the music track the vocal is there very, VERY slightly, but the difference is astonishing, i wish i could demonstrate it.
does any1 have any examples of a song which is effected in a similar way? or have you guys noticed this with your work (also, i recorded an entire album with aud 1.5 with lots of centered lead vocals and never had this problem).
thanks for llistening to me blab on.
maybe il never get my head round it.

Trouble getting sounds through surround sound

I recently bough new Apple TV, I have Samsung TV, Samsung DVD surrounds sound system and PVR. Have tried to connect Apple TV to the current setup but only way to get sound is by plugging the optic cable from PVR into Apple TV. Can anyone possibly run me through setting up from scratch? Thanks

This is something you need to configure though your TV and or "entertainment/surround sound system". It has nothing to do with AppleTV. So no one on this fourm would be able to help you.

System Sounds Have Started Playing Through Internal Speakers

I have a Presonus Firebox sound card through which I play all my audio. Suddenly and mysteriously, all my system sounds (email sent, email received, trash emptied, etc.) are going through my internal speakers, while all my apps remain as they were -- iTunes, FCP, Firebox, etc., all play audio through my sound card and speakers. In System Prefs, the Firebox is chosen as input, output and sound effects.
Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?
Thanks,
Giraut

Hi Giraut,
I don't have such a device to check, nor even external speakers, but I suspect this invisible file is corrupted, I'd drag it to the desktop and see if you can set it again...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPreferences<12digitHexNumb er>.plist
Might check Midi Setup Utility to see if it's set for 44.1K also.

Live TV through Surround Sound

I reciently purchased a 47in LG. I am trying to connect it to my Sony 6600 surround sounds system and to my HDDVR box. I think I have everything figured out except I can't get the live tv sound through the surround sound. I have an digital optical audio cable but can't figure out which two ports to plug it into. I have tried TV to reciever and cable box to reciever but can't get either to work. Any advice?
Solved!

Thanks that fixed it. Never would have thought of that.

Music sounds static when played through headphones or speakers

i have had my ipod for a while now and it worked fine. However whenever i play through headphones or speakers the music goes to what sounds like static, i would like to know how to fix this problem and if i cant how much will it cost to have apple fix it for me.

Update - I've isolated this (I think) to be something that happens when Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 is open. Exiting the app stops the noise.
But still con't find out why it happens or any setting to stop it.
cheers
