Speakers for h8-1520t

I bought a package deal from Costco-hp envy h8-1520t Beats Audio with hp2711x monitor- thinking speakers would come with it, but they didn't. The plug on speakers from my old Sony VAIO is a little too big to fit in the speaker plug-in spot on the new HP.  Do I need special speakers for the HP?

The connectors are 3.5 mm (1/8-inch) stereo mini-jacks that connect from the back of the computer to speakers and microphones. Either purchase standard speakers, or get a converter. Is the Sony plug smaller? If so, it's likely a 2.5mm mini plug. Cost $0.33 plus shipping

    I conclude that I cannot use any 5.1 Computer Speaker sets that go with my Macbook Pro 13 and get a real Dolby sound,right?
    "Computer speakers" Basically no. They mosty are either stereo analog (for music playback) or 5.1 gaming PC speakers that are married to a 5.1 sound card for PC towers.
    You would have to have a stereo reciever and 5.1 speakers that can accept:
    1: Toslink optical inputs
    2: Decode Dolby Surround Sound
    3: The media your playing back must have a Dolby sound option.
    Most 5.1 computer speaker setups are for gaming PC towers and takes a sound card that does the processing for each channel, has three analog wires
    Wire 1: Left and Right front channels
    Wire 2: Left and Right rear channels
    Wire 3: Subwoofer and center, common ground (returns all the used electrons to complete the loop)
    Your Mac has none of these, it's just a stereo analog, 2.0, a left and right channel, common ground (three sections on the plug)
    So no you can't use a PC based 5.1 system on a Mac, unless you bridge the first two wires either with adapters or splicing the cables. Then it's not true surround sound, just two stereo channels that fills the room with sound.
    With true surround sound, you can hear people creep up behind you, bullets whizz by your face, planes flying past overhead. It's a more immersive experinece.
    So unless the "computer 5.1 speakers" has it's own Toslink optical inputs and decodes Dolby (and other) surround sound formats, has a built in amplifier to power speakers, then no. As most 5.1 comptuer speakers are designed for PC 3D gaming, thus inexpensive.
    The Mac market for 3D gaming is rather small, tiny in fact. I haven't seen any "computer speaker" setup with the required stuff to playback true suround sound.
    Mac's are used for music and video production, that's why they have the better optical ports.
    Your just going to have to buy a home theater system to playback Dolby 5.1

  • 1 set of speakers for tv and streaming

    I was going to buy an AppleTV and connect a set of external speakers to my tv, so any devices connected to the tv will use those speakers, but what if I want to stream audio from an ipod or macbook to those same speakers?
    I could buy a A/V receiver that is Airplay compatible or ...?   Any other suggestions?

    I'm still confused.  If the speakers in question are connected to the tv, then wouldn't the tv have to be powered on all the time even if those speakers are 'selected' by the Apple TV.  If so, I'd have to connect the speakers to an Airplay base station or Airplay express and link that with the Apple TV so I don't have to have the tv powered on when I just want to stream music from my macbook.
    Does that make sense?  I don't want to buy 2 separate sets of speakers for 2 different tasks - i.e. 1 set connected to an Airplay express so I can listen to streaming music stored on my Macbook and another set of speakers connected to the optical audio output of my plasma tv when I want to watch a movie on my DVD player or Dish receiver.  That's why I thought the Apple TV would be able to do both.  I suppose it can, but it just means I'd have to keep my plasma tv on all the time, even when I'm listening to streaming music.  The only other set up I can think of is to buy a 1st gen. Apple TV and direct the output to the Airplay express speakers when I want to watch a movie on my DVD player. 
    I'm not sure if I'm making this too complicated.

  • Speakers for Mac Pro Intel

    Just bought a Mac Pro dual Quad-Core Intel Xeon system and am loving it. But, to my dismay I can't hook up my 5.1 Klipsch speakers. Stupid of me but I never thought of asking at the Apple store about this. I only noticed when I got home Yuk!!! The speakers that are in the LED Apple monitor are okay buy not the same.
    Is there a way to hook up my 5.1's? Or where can I buy good speakers for this system?
    Thanks for any ideas.

    Ran into the same problem with my old 5.1 speakers. They used the analog 3 cable connector.
    All the options I found involved were expensive or involved more converters/hardware. Also, I realized that I wasn't actually making use of all of the 5.1 channels in most situations.
    I decided it was better to purchase a quality pair of speakers that would fit on the desk. Searched around and found the M-Audio AV40 speakers. They sound great and IMO sound better than my old speakers.
    These cost just a little more than what it would have cost me to purchase hardware to add support for my old 5.1 speakers. Plus, they sound better and take up less space.

    I have been editing with Final Cut for many years, on many different Macs.  Currently using Final Cut Express v4 on a 2.66GHZ Core2Duo MacBookPro with 8GB RAM.  Ditto on my 3.06GHZ Core2Duo iMac with 8GB RAM.  It runs really well on both computers.  An i5 based Mac will do even better.
    The amount of RAM definitely makes a difference if you are using things like Photoshop, Aperture, Lightroom, iMovie, Final Cut and similar apps.  They will run in 4GB RAM but they run a lot better with 8GB RAM or more.  If I were configuring a new Mac to run these kinds of programs, 8GB RAM would be my suggested minimum.

  • AirPlay speakers for outdoors

    I'm looking for a set of AirPlay-compatible speakers for use outdoors on my patio.  I'd like to have them work *without* an AirPort Express, i.e., something like the the B&W Zeppelin Air or the iHome iW1, but for outdoor use.
    Any suggestions?

    Since your TV is not an AirPlay server, it will not be able to use AirPlay to send audio to an AirPlay (Apple TV, AirPort Express Base Sation, or any other AirPlay-ready) device. Your Apple TV won't work either as it can only receive audio via AirPlay to be played back through either a TV or audio receiver.
    At this point in time, I'm not aware of any manufacturer that offers something that you are looking for.

  • Best external speakers for my iMac

    I am looking at the Bose Companion 3 and Companion 5 speakers for my iMac. If I understand correctly, the difference is the 5 does surround sound and is great for movies. I want great speakers for audio.

    Hi Bryan
    I think it depends on where your iMac is setup!
    If your iMac is setup in your den or family room and you allready have a nice stereo system just pickup a mini headphone to RCA adapter and RCA cables and hook it up. If you do not have a decent stereo then yes the Bose or an upper end 5.1 system is the way to go.

    If your iMac is setup in a small office, any of the 2.1 systems would sound real nice for a-lot less cash. I have a Creative Inspire 2.1 system in my office, the satellite speakers are in the corners of the room (instead of blaring in my face) and the Sub under my desk. The setup sounds great, it has good R & L channel separation and the sub rumbles/thumps the floor real nice.

    looking for wireless/Bluetooth speakers for use with iPad, would like these speakers to run on AC as well as battery.  Any recommendations?

    My experience with steaming with Apple products is done from iTunes, my music and video files from iTunes on my iMac or video from Apple Store. I sync photos and music from iTunes with iPhone, iPod Touch and AppleTV.
    I have a 2TB external disk that has my iTunes library on it. All my music, TV and movies. It is hosted on my iMac
    I do not know if mkv video can be played on the iPad, maybe there is an app that can do it. According to the iPad specifications the video files have to be "Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format"

  • Suggestions for (cheap) speakers for MacAir?

    I realize I'm probably just old & going deaf, but the volume from the speakers is the WORST. Headphones are fine, but not always convenient. Any suggestions for inexpensive speakers I can plug in that will actually pump out some volume (not trying to rock the 'hood, just actually hear stuff while I'm away from the computer but in the same room). Logitech has some for $15, but I want to be sure they'll be louder than what's already coming out of the computer.
    Thanks, all.

    best computer speakers for very little money are a set of Klipsch
    For $200 you get fantastic audio and you can dial them up to rattle the house

    their extremely high rating speaks for themselves
    I have a set.   Even best buy carries them.

  • What are the best AirPlay speakers for Apple devices?

    What are the best AirPlay speakers for Apple devices? I would like to get some good speakers to be used with my iPod, iPhone and iPad. Ideally, they should be able to play using AirPlay and be quite powerful, but with a good design if possible.
    I am particularly interested in the Fidelio range of speakers by Philips.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Best is going to be a matter of opinion.  What environment are the speakers going to be used in? How large is the room? What type of music are you going to play? What features/functions would you like in the speakers? What price range are you looking for?  All of these are going to effect which speakers will best fit your needs.
