Split the plugs

i have my inspire 5.1 5200 speakers hooked up to my pc, but how would i go about splitting it so i can hook up to various other sources? i would like to have my pc, dvd player, playstation, and tv hooked up all at the same time? but right now all i have is my pc. do i have to buy a bunch of split connectors?

FYI - my resolution to this (as much as I hated it) was to buy a logitech mic/head set that contained a USB 'dongle' that was exactly what i wanted, but shouldn't've had to buy.
Thus the USB split out into seperate headphone/mic jacks.
Just after I bought it I found another possible solution.  Portable DVD players have this 4band TRRS plug and then convert it into RCA (the red,yellow,white plugs you see a lot of).
So technically its possible to get one of those, converting the TRRS into RCA, take the two stereo colors (depending on the order that HP wired this port it could be any two fo the three colors) and convert them back into a 3.5mm TRS and use a female/female connector to provide a spot for headphones to plug into. Then the remaining color can be converted back into a 2band TRS (yes this cable exists, but I don't konw where to get one) and use another female/female connector to provide a spot for the microphone to plug into.
all this will end up being around 4-8 inches long and a bit ugly.

  • Can MainStage split the audio outputs from a plug-in to separate busses/out

    Take EXS24 or Battery 3 or Kontakt as examples
    Only one plug-in instantiated but each drum 'hit' sent to separate outputs from within the plug-in/VI and brought into the mix on Audio/Aux channels for separate processing.
    It's easy to set up in ProTools and Logic.
    (I don't want to send the output of the channel strip to a bus - I know how to do that)
    I've read the manual so many times and can't find any answers.
    Does MainStage actually allow this routing ?
    Thanks for any help
    Lee

    As far as I know, the only way to do what you want in MainStage is to set up an EXS24 for each output.
    The EXS24 does have an option to load with multiple outputs, but I haven't found a way to make it work on my set up.

  • Splitting the line in on Audigy

    I have been working on interfacing my Audigy and ATI 9600 All in Wonder cards with my Sony DE-685 (a home theater 5. surround system. I have 500 LP's from the 60's and 70's to archi've and have been struggling with getting my connections just right. A couple of "pros" have come out and the results have been less than satisfying. I have been hitting the forums and documentation and have made progress.
    Here is what I am looking for and it involves two issues: : finding the best place to connect the turntable (the Sony has no phono, just an AUX....my new turntable has a preamp which helps), and 2: the inability to hear the music as I record it. A Best Buy Geek split the line in and ran the ATI /8" line there (where it has to go) and a line in from turntable. That sort of worked but not well. The last guy ran the turntable into the MIC line in which I doubt is set up for the kind of sound I want. I don't know and can't find a post on that. It works and I can SEE my recording on Goldwave and Magix, but I can't hear anything. (This last guy also used the wrong type of cable from the digital out to my Sony digital in...he also had an analog out to my Sony; there aren't lots of people around here who do this, obviously. I fixed those yesterday (slow learner, folks:smileyvery-happy. I am thinking that splitting the line in is probably causing a conflict and that I have some setting wrong on the card that is not letting me hear while recording. I suspect I need to run the turntable into AUX and figure out what setting is wrong on the sound card.
    Sorry for the long post, but I hope the info will sound familiar to someone who has been here.
    Running XP Pro, Intel 685PERL MB w/ 3.4E Intel Prescott, GB RAM, 700GB storage in 2-WD250's and one Maxtor 200GB SATA.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reply. I am working to convert the LP's to digital format for archiving, not just for listening. I am using the ATI All In Wonder 9600 for video (VHS, etc) editing and conversion for burning to DVD. ATI requires the /8th" stereo plug in there wiring block to go directly into the Audigy line in. I can build a great computer but struggle with interfacing the Sony with the cards. I have had two paid "experts" (this isn't a big place and very few people are doing what I am trying to do) who made serious errors in connections. I found these, of course, after they had gone and I started trying to work. I have run the turntable with preamp into AUX, TAPE, ect. Using Goldwave and Magix I cannot get enough record level. Last night I ran the turntable into a Radio Shack pre-amp and THEN in AUX. Using the pre-amp (guess the turntable preamp just doesn't have the juice?)"What You Hear" I had beaucoup record level. I was starting to get better results when I got chased off to bed around midnight by the old lady!
    One thing that has helped is to blow up all three manuals up to 8 x 0 and put them in 3-ring binders...the full manuals downloaded in pdf form. I can flip back and forth a lot faster. That has helped me undo several of the serious errors my last "expert" introduced. So, I hope that clarifies why and what I am trying to do. Building a computer is a piece of cake compared to this, or has been for me. Thanks for you patience.
    Best wishes,

  • Split the headphone jack?

    will be taking a flight with 2 kids and want them to be able to watch a movie on my macbook pro at the same time - but there's just 1 headphone jack. is there something that will allow me to split the jack so that i can plug in 2 sets of headphones at the same time - kind of like an audio out power strip so both kids can watch movie at once?

    Hi u,
    Yep:

  • Can i split the screen to where it shows 2,4,6,and 8 of the video?

    I want to be able to split the screen to show multiple shots of the video at once. Like the four-shot camera on photo booth, but all of the same video. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks.

    Hi
    No and Yes
    No - There is no standard (included) tool to do this and from iMovie'08 - 11 - Plug-ins can NOT be used at all
    Yes - by use of Picture in Picture and add one field at a time - I do
    • Start a New Project to prepare this speific sequence
    • Add first Picture
    • Export this as a full quality QuickTime .mov
    • Import this and put it into a NEW Project
    • add next field (Picture in Picture)
    • Export
    • Import
    and repeat this till Your complex sequence is done.
    alt. is to prepare this sequence in  QuickTime Pro and here You have 99 video tracks that can be run in paralell. But this demands a very carefull plan to be kept to 100% - to be a good result.
    Yours Bengt W

    Thank you very,very much for helping me out, i didnt even think about the fact that Elements plug ins may not even work with Photoshop jCS5 so thanks for setting me straight on that.  I really want those plug ins but ever since i installed CS5 i cant get my Photoshop Elements 8 program open, it opens and a split second later it shuts down  and have no idea why.  I was using Elememts that day that i installed CS5 so i know it worked prior to the install of cs5.  I am using windows 7 64bit.  I put a phone call into Adobe who said they would call me back in 8 min and that was at least 2 hrs ago.  I am not to computer literate so i dont dare start messing with files until i get instructions from someone who does know what there doing. 
    Also, in response to the question about how i got the Topaz plug ins into Elements, well, i installed like normal and then had to copy the file into the Elements folder, it worked perfectly, that was Topaz instructed people to do if they didnt show up when you ran the auto installer.  I will get ahold of topaz and see if there is anything I can do about "exchanging' my elements serial number for a CS serial number, its worth a try anyway becasue i just bought them and I love what they do.
    thanks again to all of you who helped me out on this issue.

  • Adding Multiple files to many Sharepoint Sites based on the Sites Code (Splitting the data using a code)

    Hi,
    I'm pretty new to Sharepoint and wanted to ask a question to see if it can actually do what we need it to do.
    We would have a top Site within a collection and under this we would have 400 sites for different sections of the business (External) Lots of teams create documents for all these sites and use the Code of the site in each document so we know what business
    site its going to. For example 67890_BusinessReportMay.docx We know this document should be heading to site 67890 
    We have lots of services sending data to these 400 business sites. If we were to do them manually it would take most of our time to go to each site and upload the documents, even if we could do all the sites documents in 1 multiple upload. We still have
    to go to each site to do it
    Is there an easy answer to this? At present I have folders to match each of the 400 Sharepoint Sites and I use an Integration Services package to move all the documents into these 400 Matching folders. I do this using the Code at the start of each file name.
    If it doesn't have a code its put into an error folder and reported back on.
    Then I want something to automatically go through each of these folders and load them into the Sharepoint Sites document libraries. 
    OR
    Say you have 600 files all going to the 500 sites on Sharepoint in one folder. The File contains meta data regarding the Sites Code.  Using this you can split the files and automatically pull them across to the Sharepoint Sites without having to go
    into each Sharepoint Site?
    I'm thinking that you cant do this and I'm hoping I'm wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  
    Debbie

    Hi Debbie,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to move the documents to different sites based on the code in the name of the files.
    I recommend to create workflow and set the workflow to start when an item is created to achieve this goal.
    As there is no built-in action which can move the documents cross site, we need to use the custom activity 'Copy List Item Extended' which need to be downloaded from
    http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/.
    Please per the steps in the link below to deploy the custom activity to SharePoint:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/82609160-152f-461a-9a19-0e996f5a309b/sharepoint-2010-archiving-the-files-from-one-document-library-to-another-document-library-in
    After that, we can create a workflow to meet the need.
    Here is the detailed steps to create the workflow:
    Create a column in single line of text type(called NO for example) in the library where the documents are uploaded, and input value manually in the column to store the code when uploading the documents. (We can also use workflow to extract the code from
    the name of the documents if the codes are always 5 numbers.)
    Create a workflow associated with the library and set the workflow to start when an item is created.
    Select If current item field equals value, change the settings to be If Current Item: NO equals 67890.
    Select Copy List Item Extended, change the settings to be Copy item in Current Item to list at site 67890 URL.
    Select Delete Item, change the settings to be Delete Item in Current Item.
    Create other conditions from step 3 to step 5 to copy the documents to different sites and delete current documents.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

    FCE 4.0.1 won't open when I click the icon in the Dock or in the Applications icon of FCE. It had been working well but I had trouble when I trashed the reference Scratch disk to a project and I was asked to get it back. I checked all my drives through verify in Disk Utility and a couple needed repair - eventually were given the OK. I then Shut Down and rebooted, I then trashed the FCE App and reinstalled from the Install discs and , finally, I tried opening a FCE project. None of these caused the FCE App to open with Browser, Viewer, Canvas,. Time Line. All that happens is the the first FCE window, the one that says FCE registered to...and the other that says loading AE Effects, Video Effects does show but then nothing except my Desktop with it's various folders and files I also downloaded the Plug In Tom Wolsky suggested to a recent query.
    All I can think of is to backup everything to HDs and take this iMac in for a service.It is only six months old - I reckon it will be poor driving by it's proud but unskilled driver!

    Don't panic . . . . . yet!
    You may not have trashed FCE properly.
    Deleting the application icon is useless as there are a number of files hidden elsewhere which may be corrupt.
    Download this free app to uninstall FCE completely and then reinstall it.

  • How do I set MacBook to an external display when the plug and play doesn't recognize it?  I am trying to set my Samsung 530 LCD as a monitor but HDMI and VGA cords (and the adaptor for them) doesn't seem to work.

    I have tried everything I can find on line but they all claim that the plug and play works, and they don't for me.  I tried the mini dvi to HDMI and a HDMI cord and that was not recognized no matter which unit I rebooted first.  I found someone who said that my Macbook might be too old for the HDMI technology so I returned the cords and went to the VGA cord and adaptor.
    I tried this first with the HDMI setup:

    I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system.  The TV says "No signal.  Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection."  Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display.  But how do I do that?
