Sound Out on 24" imac

Does anyone know if the headphone jack out on the 24" imac puts out has a stronger signal than say the 20" imac. It has a more powerful amp inside, almost twice the power from what I have read. Does this power get to the headphone jack or is this a set value and would remain the same on either machine. It seems more powerful to me I was just wondering if this was correct or just a figment of my imagination. Thanks.

I can't get any sound out of my iMac unless I am wearing headphones. Is there a way to fix this?

When I turned on my computer this morning I noticed that I didn't hear the chime, but realized that my son had left his earphones plugged in. When I unplugged them, the computer still didn't have any sound. When I plugged the earphones back in I could hear sound but only in my headphones. We stream Netflix/Hulu videos so we are in need of help. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, is there a solution?

Sounds like either the internal speaker volume is muted or the micro switch inside the headphone jack is stuck and the computer thinks something is still plugged in.
1. Check the sound preferences and see if you can select and/or unmute the internal speakers?
2. If not, try plugging in gently jiggling and then unplugging the headphones to see if you can unstick the micro switch?
3. If not, contact your local AASP and make a service appointment.

I am using iMac OS 10.7.2 with Garageband'11 6.0.4. I can't record sound from mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and preferences but no sound from mixer to iMac. Need help.

I can't record sound from mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and Preferences but I can't get no sound from mixer to iMac only sound from iMac to mixer. I only can record sound using microphone line in. Please help.

Eric,
Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.

Can't get sound out of imac

I am a musician and am trying to mix down some tracks off of a hard disk. I have a hard disc recorder and a mixing board that i am running into an M-audio Firewire solo. I have the signal flow going into the firewire solo and then into my mac. when i click on the system preferences and go to sound I have the fire wire solo as the input and the headphone as the output. i see good signal coming into the mac but can't seem to get any sound out of the mac. the headphne out is hte only thing I see as an output which i have selected. please help - I cant hear anything!!

.. It can't be an m-audio issue when i have a great input signal could it?? ..
with my humble experience of 20 years with Macs - no, that is not neccessairly a (computer's) logic conclusion ..
as said, I just have some know-how with iM/camcorders... and we do experience some same 'effects', e.g. 'cause camcorder is import-disabled, as many Euroepan devices are ... or, we experience control over camera via firewire but no picture etc.pp.
different approach:
are you able to use your devcie with other apps, e.g. Logic, Grarageband.
it is an audio-interface, I assume, you're using in mainly for ... ehm, audio.

Can't get sound out of safari

hey all,
i am not able to get sound out of my mac?! And thats only on Safari. I cant watch any videos now! please help.
thanks in advance

Hi
I'm far from an expert on "sound" issues. I believe OS X's sound file is designed to be functional for 16 bit sound files, not 24 bit. 24 bit sound file offer enhanced sound quality, but are larger in size. Perhaps not yet practical for web sites.
explaining the difference between the two settings.
Thanks for the green star.

Strange sounds from my new iMac

I have these strange sounds going out of my iMac, it's from various apps,
How can I monitor where the sounds come from and for what reason?
I've looked in system preferences -> sound
but nothing were relevant there.
Thanks!

I can't record it because it's too fast. sounds like wissshhhhhhh and woooaaaaappppp. very quickly come and disappear..
sorry for the poor data but it's the best i can do.
it's brand new but i won't replace it due to a minor bug that obviously can be fixed thanks to guys / girls like U!
No matter how minor it is, you should NOT be troubleshooting a Mac that has a window of 14 days of the purchase date no questions asked return and/or replacement date warranty. What you are saying is you have no problem spending $2000+ on a buggy Mac.

Headphones only provide sound out of one ear phone

Hi, I've got a 17" flat panel iMac running 10.4.2. I recently purchased a pair of good (Grado SR80) headphones for general use. When I plug them in to the Mac's headphone port, I get sound out of one ear phone only. Nothing out of the other. The supplied Apple speakers work fine, however, with sound from both speakers. Any idea how I can get the phones to play normally? I'm really disappointed. The headphone port couldn't possibly be monoaural could it? Or so underpowered it won't power a pair of phones?

I only have one pair! The speakers work perfectly on my small JVC mini stereo set (which only has 10W of power). The speakers are plugged into the little speaker port on the iMac (I think the Apple iMac speaker jack is non-standard). The headphones were plugged into the headphone jack. I checked the Audio control panel. The settings are fine.

Routing sound out of logic

I have just purchased a Korg Monotron and am very pleased with it!
I am trying to send sound out from Logic into the Monotron, and then filter the audio in the Monotron and record this back into Logic, however I have a problem.
The audio I want to send out of Logic is routed to outputs '1 & 2' on my Edirol UA-25 interface.
I take a mono output from one of these outputs on the rear of the interface, and feed this into the Monotron headphone socket.
The issue is that when the sound is fed back into Logic, I can't hear the filtering effects because it is drowned out by the audio track I am sending out.
How can I mute the sound of the outputted audio so that I can only hear the subtleties of the filtering effect in Logic.
Can anyone explain a workaround for this, or is there no solution as the audio always need to be audible to in order leave Logic, or else no sound would be sent.
Any advice welcome!
Cheers,
Mr Rock

Hi Dat Stream Studio,
This sounds very promising!
Can you please confirm when in 'Audio Midi Setup', do I go to 'Audio Devices'.
If I select 'Audio Devices' then I have two setting- 'Default Output' and 'System Outputs'.
At present both are set to 'Edirol'.
Can you please suggest which ones I need to configure as 'Mac Internal'.
When this has been set up is all sound outputted through 'Mac internal' audio, and do I connect a lead from the iMac headphone socket into the Monotron?
To get sound back into Logic, should I connect the Monotron into say Input 1 on the Edirol, and then set up an audio track with the 'I/O' plug in set to audio 'Input 1 (and leave the 'output' blank)?
I look forward to your response.
Cheers,
Mr Rock

Getting Sound Out of Classic

I just got a new G5 and installed Classic. Now I can't get any audio from any Classic apps or from the OS itself. I noticed I don't even have a "sound" control panel in Classic mode. Is this strange? I seem to remember having one when I used this same setup with my G4. Do I need to download any drivers for my soundcard? What if I just want the sound out of the computer output? Any help is great!

I think we've identified the source of your problem... assuming that you mean that you can't get sound out of OS X.
I noticed I don't even have a "sound"
control panel in Classic mode. Is this strange?
No. You should have a few sound-related items in the Extensions folder (Sound Manager, SoundSprocket Filter, Speakable Items, Speech Manager, Speech Recognition, perhaps a few others) but there needn't be any sound-related control panels.

I had other sound stuff in my System Folder left over from the days when that System Folder was on a beige G3. The absence of those items doesn't seem to matter to my iMac G5. When I set up the iMac G5 I generated a completely new System Folder instead of just copying over the old one. What's in that folder now is what Apple thinks should be there to run Classic, plus the items MSIE drops into the System Folder because I did a test run of MSIE for Classic just to see if it still worked. (It does)

Only getting sound out the right side speaker

Just this morning, I realised that I am only getting sound out the right side (built-in) speaker on my iMac 24 inch.
Any ideas as to why/how this is happening. It was working fine last night.
Do I have to take it in for repair??

thanks- yes that was the answer!
god knows how i altered the setting. must have been a keyboard short-cut and i did it by mistake...!

When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
The solution was as follows for me anyway...
Go to your Finder
Choose the Go Menu
Choose Computer
Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
Choose your "Library" Folder
Choose the "Preferences" Folder
There should be a folder called "Audio"
Move that whole folder to the trash
Empty the Trash
Restart from the Apple Menu
When you are back up and running;
     Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
     Choose Sound
      In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
      Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

My Apple TV drops out when my iMac isn't connected to wifi yet my TV is connected to wifi. Also having issues with losing settings on Home Sharing as well. How do I fix these issues?

Whether I'm watching a movie purchased via my Apple TV or a movie stored on my iTunes app on my iMac I'm having constant issues with Apple TV either cutting out (randomly - not related to wifi) or not being able to access the 'My Computer' files when my iMac drops out the wifi connection because its in power saving mode. I also have issues with 'Home Sharing' settings having to be reset and sometimes having to unplug the Apple TV power cord and plugging it back in to be able to successfully reset these settings so I can get back to watching whatever it was I was viewing on Apple TV. My TV is connected to wifi as well so I'm wondering if there are any changes I can make in the settings of both my Apple TV and iMac or TV so that I can just select whatever it is I want to watch and be able to watch the entire movie or episode without it dropping out or having to keep flicking the mouse on the iMac to keep the computer connected to wifi? I love Apple products generally but Apple TV is proving to be a pain in the a**e lately. Hopefully someone can help me sort these issues out

Intermittent issues will point to a local network/wifi issue.
Reboot ATV and router, make sure both are up to date
Try ethernet
The home sharing connection will cut out if the iMac goes to sleep.

I want to plug my apple tv into a projector but i want to break the sound out and plug this in to a sperate audio solution which has 2 phono's. Is there a lead that does this?

I want to plg my apple tv in to a projector but i want to break the sound out to a seperate audio solution. Is there a lead that I can use? The sound system has 2 x phono connections?

The sound can already be "broken out" by using the optiocal cable jack. That, of course, assumes your audio input is capable of optical inputs. If not, you might have alook into something like this: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=opt ical+to+rca+converter&tbm=shop

In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track or software track and load an audio file/loop or software file loop, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio or software tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustrating as this takes much time to complete work.

I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy. Brazeca is helping people like me who might not be as adept at using Logic Pro as probably you are.This community forum was established to raise questions, answers and dicussion to help Apple's customers better undertand their operating systems and related issues. You are doing a disservice by not contributing positively and by trying to make this forum what you want it to be. You may have all the time in the world to try figuring out stuff but we are not all like you. We all have different schedules and different levels of understanding. And that is what this forum is for - to help people move forward. If you can't contribute positively then keep silent. And by the way, you say to "read the words that are printed down to explain to you how that works" what words are you talking about? Why don't you be of some help instead of trying to own this forum.

No sound out of back line out MacPro Bootcamp 3.1 Windows 7 64bit

No sound out of back line out speakers.
MacPro Early 2008
Bootcamp 3.1
Windows 7 64bit
Realtek HD audio driver.
I have speakers plugged into the back line out.
They work in Mac 10.6.4 (as always) and in Parallels 5 Windows 7 using Bootcamp partition.
All other jacks work. In Realtek driver it shows nothing connected to that jack.
Anybody else have this issue?
Anybody else have solved this?

Anyone at all?
Even if you don't have the issue yet have a similar setup. Maybe I can figure out if there's a driver update I may need.
BTW I KNOW others have this as I've seen this mentioned on other forums. What I do NOT know is whether it's "everyone" or there's something about systems that don't have this issue, I need to follow.
