Toshiba 32C120u Audio Out feature question

Do the RCA jack audio out connections send a plain line-out audio signal that is not subject to the TV volume control?
I need a tv to use with some wireless headphones but also need the speakers to work normally for the rest of the family.

RCA out is fixed  line level you can still use speakers normally at the same time

  • Audio out options question - HDMI + component?

    I have looked thru the manual and forums, but have not seen the answer to my question.
    If I hook an ATV to my TV with HDMI, and also use the Right and Left (red and white component) audio out cables to my stereo (which does not have TOS link digital audio capability), will I get sound delivered to BOTH units at the same time? Basically, I'd like sound to go to my TV and my stereo.
    I see in the ATV manual that it is possible to use HDMI and digital audio out. DVI video and component audio out, but I need HDMI video/audio AND component audio out.

    The easiest way to accomplish this is to use the HDMI cable from the ATV to the TV and then export the sound from the TV with with either RCA, toslink, or digital audio out cables to your stereo. That is what I do at home. I have a DVR cable box, DVD player, and PS3 Blue Ray player and a HD video camera all hooked up via HDMI to a HDMI hub to the TV and then I can switch the stereo from either the TV audio out (all of the above) or the airport express where I stream music to the Stereo. There is no doubt that the sound quality from the BR HDMI cable of the PS3 has a superior sound.
    A tech at curcuit city told me there is a difference in sound between, a expensive Monster HDMI cable and the less expensive cables now available on line, but I have not tried a A/B comparison yet, but am planing to do so. $50-60$ vrs. a few dollars on line aftermarket.
    Hope this helps.

  • Micro usb audio out feature addition request

    so i had a pair on micro usb headphones out and i thought it would work on my stream 7, because of the buzzing problem. However it doesnt work and windows dosnt seem to read it either. Any way for a bios update for the stream 7 so micro usb audio out will work, and any hp prgram for them to make, so i can use headphones.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I know of no device that has OTG "Built in".. so with that said...Micro USB headphones are in more of a testing phase, and only supported by a select few phones/tablets. The device itself has to be "usb headphone aware" because normaly none of these devices default to host mode (ie none of them react to usb connections in the same way a PC/laptop does). 
    USB phones have been around for a while, and if MicroUSB headphones have a fall back that allows it to be detected as a sound device by any usb host port then using an OTG cable (You will probably need an adapter to convert the Type A connection back to Micro B) it should work fine on the Stream 7. However my understanding is microusb headphones are being designed around a more direct support from mobile devices, much like MHL offered HDMI over usb. 

  • Yosemite audio out selection question

    I use a Mac mini in my home theater setup.  I have an audio cable connected from the headphone out to an amplifier and an hdmi cable connected from the hdmi out a TV.
    I'm still using 10.6 because I can choose hdmi audio with the cable plugged into the headphone jack.  That option went away in 10.7 or 10.8.  I found out when I updated to Mavericks.  I reinstalled 10.6 for this one reason.
    Has it returned in Yosemite?  If I have a cable plugged in my headphone jack can I select hdmi out for my audio or do I have to unplug the cable from the headphone jack?  That is VERY inconvenenient and why I'm still using 10.6.
    Tracy

    Am I the only one in the world using HDMI with a cable plugged into the headphone jack so I can route audio through one or the other conveniently?

  • RX-V471 Receiver Audio Out (R-L) Jacks question

    I purchased this using about two years ago and have been pleased with it so far. I purchased a wireless speaker for out door use which makes use of a trandmitter which can be connected to the audio out jacks. With the V471 these audio out jacks do not have an output when I have my Toshiba BD/DVD player selected. The BD/DVD player is connected to the receiver using the BD/DVD HDMI connection. The same is true when I select the TV. The sound does play through the surround sound speakers when either device is selected but I would have though the Audio Out jacks would also have output as well Under what configurations do the audio out jacks have output? Right now they only seem to be active when I use the V471 AM/FM tuner.

    Are you trying to play the audio in both locations or just through the wireless speakers? This reciever doesn't do multiroom, so in order you hear sound through the wireless speakers you'll need to manually change the audio output to the audio ports they're connected to.

  • Question about Audio line-in/optical in/Audio out/optical out

    I have a late 2009 27" iMac (v3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). I note that on Apple's description of the rear ports, what I thought were simply headphone (Audio Out) and microphone (Audio In) jacks are described as:
    1. Headphone/optical digital [S/PDIF] audio out:
    "Line/Headphone output
    "The headphone output is automatically selected for audio output if no external S/PDIF optical digital output device is detected. The headphone output supports a stereo data stream at bit depths of 16, 20, or 24 bits per sample and at sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz. The headphone output volume can be adjusted from 0.0 dB to -64 dB..."

The headphone output volume can be adjusted from 0.0 dB to -64 dB."
    and
    2. Audio line-in/optical in:
    "Line input
    "The analog line input operates independently from all other audio input ports and is always available. The line input supports recording at bit depths of 16, 20, or 24 bits per sample and at sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz.

    "The digital audio input has the following electrical characteristics (nominal specifications), based on input of a 1 kHz sine wave at 0 dBFS input level, 24-bit sample depth, and 44.1 kHz sample rate (unless otherwise specified below):
    FSI – input sample rates: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz

    While, as an Olde School audiophile guy (62, and I still have vinyl!), I generally understand the gist of all this, I'm not at all hip to what S/PDIF optical digital output and/or digital audio input can do for me. So my questions are:
    1. Can somebody please wise me up to the usage(s) of these optical inputs and outputs on the iMac?
    2. The Apple description says,under "Line/Headphone output":
    "PCM: 16, 20, or 24 bits per sample at sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz
    AC-3: 16 bits per sample at sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, or 192 kHz"
    and under "Line input
    "The analog line input operates independently from all other audio input ports and is always available. The line input supports recording at bit depths of 16, 20, or 24 bits per sample and at sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz. Audio recorded from the line input is presented as a stereo data stream. You can adjust the line input gain from -16 dB to +30 dB."
    How -- where -- do I adjust these bit depth and sample rates?

    Thanks for the info. Turns out there's an even easier way to do it than using the "Audio Midi Setup": through the prefs in the latest (and probably some previous) version of VLC, which is currently Version 1.0.2 Goldeneye (Intel 64bit).
    Now if we could only get full native resolution (or at least 1080p) HDMI input into the Mini-DPs of our 2560 x 1440-capable 27" iMacs and actually have it display something WAY better than 720p (half the resolution of which the 27" iMac is capable) to which Apple limited it, without having to buy a third-party $270.00 HDMI-to Mini-DPP converter and scaler. Call me crazy, but it seems kinda silly to have to pay another $300 to buy a device that will scale the 27" iMac's resolution back up to a measly 1080p, let alone its native 2560 x 1440. But, as the
    As a side note, can anyone tell me -- perhaps the elusive and chimerical, but omniscient and omnipotent "communityhosts" of Apple.com -- why, in my original post in this thread, the phrase "1. Headphone/optical digital S/PDIF audio out" had the acronym "S/PDIF" stricken through, like it was a particularly egregious Anglo-Saxonism? Wikipedia defines the acronym thus: "S/PDIF is a data link layer protocol and a set of physical layer specifications for carrying digital audio signals between devices and components over either optical or electrical cable. The name stands for Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format."
    If I have inadvertently broken another arcane, abstruse, and/or inscrutable canon of the rules (http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa) governing what may or not be asked or said on these avowedly "user-driven" discussions, allow me to beg for forgiveness beforehand, pleading ignorance, and ask that Apple's "community hosts" or administrators would expand upon and make very clear, in their "Apple Discussions Terms of Use," a comprehensive list of terms, subjects, lines of discussion, references to certain items, products, people, policies, etc. that are simply disallowed in the forum.
    It is extremely depressing and frustrating to spend however long it takes -- and it takes ME a long time, as I have a 60-year-ingrained tendency towards verbosity -- to ask and post a question or message, only to have the message never even posted to the forum, but, without any sort of consultation with me so that I may learn from, and correct, my errors, uncaringly consigned to the illimitable void by hands to whom there is no appeal or orison.
    It seems unfair.

  • 65x900b - two questions - amazon in dolby 5.1 and using audio out with subwoofer

    Does the amazon app output 5.1 like netflix? I can't seem to find any way to set the amazon audio.Also I have used a 1/8 y adapter and plugged it into the audio out on the TV.  One end of the Y goes to my A/V receiver and the other to the wireless transceiver for the subwoofer.  The cable from the wireless transceiver to the tv is a mono cable so if i have them both plugged into the Y one of the channels cannot be heard.  The subwoofer works fine.  But when I change to audio out like I said I loose one channel.  When I unplug the mini cable from the Y adapter however I get full stereo sound outputting.  Is there anything I can do to resolve this conflict.  Can I use a stereo mini cable for the wireless transceiver for the subwoofer.ThanksLloyd 

    Hi lgroveman, 
    Welcome to the Sony Community! 
    Amazon with Digital Dobly 5.1 is already supported. Please make sure to update your TV to the latest software, kindly check this link for further details and steps by steps procedures. In addition, please make sure to perform the steps below to Refresh the internet content of the TV once the installation is complete. 
    Press the HOME button, then select [Settings] 
    [Network] → [Refresh Internet Content].
    The Analog Audio Out cannot drive both a stereo system and a Subwoofer. If you connect a Subwoofer to the TV SWF-BR100 the frequency response of the audio output is limited to the subwoofer frequencies.
    To output 5.1 surround sound from your TV an ARC (HDMI ) or the Optical Out connection is needed because analog audio out support stereo sound.

  • Question on optical audio out

    Hi all, I recently got an entry level 5.1 surround system for my PC (Logitech X-530, if you're that curious) and am wondering if it's possible to utilize my optical audio out with this system. From what I gather, I'd need some kind of decoder, but beyond that, I'm lost. I've tried googling it and searched around this forum a bit, but I can't seem to be pointed to any one product that'll do this. Any help is appreciated.

    Ok, the speakers you got are just powered speakers with analog inputs.
    They do not have the better digital inputs and do 5.1 decoding.
    Mac's don't do 5.1 decoding, so you need either a separate device (like a 5.1-7.1 decoding receiver with digital optical inputs) or a M-Audio sound card installed in your PCI slots.
    The M-Audio card for the Mac will use your CPU's to do the 5.1 decoding and send it out analog ports which you can connect those speakers too.
    The M-Audio card produces line level output, no amplification. But your powered speaks will do the amplification.
    http://images.devshed.com/dh/stories/Logitech%20x530/image005.jpg
    (The three plugs on the right are for connecting to a sound card)
    If your really into better sound, a quality 5.1-7.1 receiver with digital optical inputs (toslink cable) and good speakers with 80+ watts each and a decent 100+ watt subwoofer will make you cry with happiness. Of course you need to pay over $1000 and up. But it's worth it if your into music.
    Check out the Volume Logic iTunes plugin, it's cheap and makes your music sound so much better.
    NOTE! Make sure you check that the current M-Audio card will work in your Mac. The PCI spec of the M-Audio card may not match the one's needed by your certain spec of PowerMac G5.

  • ATV2 Audio Out Question

    First I apologize if this has been adressed elsewhere.
    I am using an HP PC Monitor w/o speakers but with audio output to mini jack(headphones).
    My ATV2 has HDMI out to DVI in on monitor, hence no sound transfer.  Computer has no optical audio in/out, so how do I send audio to computer to play through computer-based 5.1 speaker system, also with no optical audio in/output. 
    Re-cap:  AppleTV2 HDMI out to Monitor DVI in, lost sound. Cannot use optical audio out for sound, and although I believe original version of AppleTV had composite out, ATV2 only has HDMI, optical audio ports.
    How do I send audio to computer, running Windows Media Center Edition, not using HDMI, since that is adapted for DVI which is only input available for my monitor.
    I hope this makes sense to you all and I hope I have included all pertinent information. I await, patiently, any and all help provided, with great thanks for taking time to read this request.

    You're stuck really - as you say AppleTV2 does not have analogue audio out, DVI does not support audio, and AppleTV is not officially compatible with DVI though may work.
    You either need some intervening HDMI device that can output video to HDMI and audio separately via analogue  or a D to A converter to convert the optical out -- neither likely to be that practical or cheap.  I think monoprice may have some cheap D to A converters if you have them in your countrey (I don't).
    Why does the monitor have audio output socket if it can't handle audio input, or does it have a separate audio in socket?

  • Audio out from HDMI port?

    I have connected my TV and Booklet via a standard HDMI cable.  This same HDMI cable works fine with my DVD player.   When I use it with my booklet, only video seems to be sent to the TV via the HDMI cable.  Is the HDMI out port supporting only video, or audio as well? I understand the booklet supports HDMI 1.2, which should support an audio profile, as far as I know.
    Let me know if you have been able to get audio to work over HDMI.
    thanks,
    John

    I found your discussion attempting to find the answer to the same question.
    I won 5 of these things at auction and wanted HDMI to be a selling point
    I researched far and wide and now I think I have the answer now.
    I had to reload the OS and  all the drivers for all 5 units
    I read some of the replies to this topic and with some people saying that they had audio and I didn't, I felt that either I was crazy or someone is not truthful. so i had a thought ,
    after about  the 3rd unit I tried to just try to hook it up to a TV bare without Nokia updated software
    What do you know, it worked.
    So I have come to the conclusion based upon using both units after testing them with and without the update, is with the stock driver provided, you will get the audio from the HDMI port; if you update the software from the updater(which I noticed it says the driver is MANDATORY)
    You will not.
    There is a plus and minus on both occassions
    With the graphics driver update you can scale your video once hook to an HDTV to full 1080p HD; but you wont get any audio (at least for now)
    Without the update you will get the audio out , however you will only get the same native resolution as the netbook 720p
    So contemplate which feature is more important you   and make your choice.
    Higher picture quality(full HD) with the driver yet I need 2 cable  (HDMI AND 2.5 to RCA)
    OR lower  resolution720p but audio as well
    I hope this helps but i see my next challenge for both you and is to see if we can roll back the driver if we want audio over HDMI.

  • IPhone TV out Feature???

    I know Apple added the TV out feature for the iPhone with the 1.1.1 update. However, when I tried to use my old TV cables for my last gen iPod they dont work. Is my iphone broken or is there something im missing with the steps?? My cables work fine with my ipod so I know thats not it. My TV works fine as well on the AV channel. Are there some kind of new cables you have to buy that only work with the iphone???

    I recently bought a AV projector and was asked by a smirky but envious friend the same question, after watching me hook up my powerbook, having already purchased an ipod video 30gig with the UNIVERSAL DOCK with remote control and ifrared remote control I remembered reading about it also working with the iphone, so it having a s-video output with a audio mini output port, I plugged the iphone into it and it came up with a little message saying this is not a iphone compatible device, and asked me to turn on airport, I ignored the request and it just clicked over to the itunes section, I picked a video and presto instant big screen projection TV off the iphone, How IMPRESSIVE! then I went to utube launched a utube video and wow how cool it also played seamlessly, although it pays to let the Youtube videos buffer for a minute to get a better play off the EDGE net work verse the Wi-Fi, I plan on having lots of out door theatre shows this summer with this very compact multi-media package, What a hoot! Get the universal dock no glitches!

  • Why doesn't the Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock relay sound from it's audio out port?

    Posted to Belkin Support community to no avail
    =====================
    Why can't my Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock operate my desktop speakers?
    Options 
    07-14-2014 01:48 PM
    Bought a Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock at the Apple Store to use with my new MacBook Pro.
    When I connected it to my
    -20" Mac Cinema display,
    -Various USB connected hubs and devices,
    -Various Firewire hubs and devices
    -My ethernet network from my Cable Modem
    Then made the last connection from the Dock to the Thunderbolt port on the MacBook Pro...
    All was fine.
    But when I made that one last connection - to my desktop speakers via the audio-out port on the dock (earphones icon) nothing happened.  The dock did not pick up the audio from the laptop playng an iTunes song or send it to the desktop speakers.  When I unplugged the audio cable from the Dock and plugged it in to the MacBook Pro directly, the desktop speakers kicked right in again.
    Does Thunderbolt pick up audio-out from a MacBook Pro and carry it to the Dock for connection to my desktop speakers?
    Of for some reason, can that signal not be carried by Thunderbolt?
    Will I have to get used to the onerous task of unplugging 2 cables from my MacBook Pro when I want to more it to another location in stead of just 1 cable?
    But stay with me.  Here's the thing.
    When this happened I called Belkin Customer Support to ask if they could help me.  After taking me through their steps, they agreed that the unit must be defective and agreed to ship me a replacement Thunderbolt Express Dock.
    The replacement arrived over the weekend and when I shut down my system and then plugged everything from Dock I purchased into the replacement Thunderbird Express Dock - - - - - the same thing happened!
    No signal to the speakers from the dock.  Perfect signal when the plug moved from the Dock to the computer itself.
    Hence my question:
    Does Thunderbolt pick up audio-out from a MacBook Pro and carry it to the Dock for connection to my desktop speakers?
    Can it accomplish that function?
    Am I really that unlucky to have received 2 defective new Belkin Thunderbolt Express Docks in a row?
    Or is it simply a matter of the Dock not handling audio throughput in the manner I am expecting.
    Then again, if this is the case, why did the Belkin techies not know this when I called them in the first place.
    Yes, I'm going on and on here.  But I really don't have time for this.
    What's going on here?

    OK.  No reason to be playing games here.  Just surprised that this issue hasn't been brought up here on the community boards as well.  Here's the simple solution

    After reaching a Level III technician in Belkin customer support today and having spent approximately 4-5 person hours on this issue, we figured out that the Sound/Output preferences in the Apple System Preferences should not be set to "Internal Speakers"  but rather set to "USB PnP Sound Device". 
    Worked like a charm.  Simple, elegant solution to a real problem, one likely to be encountered by 90% of the people who buy a Belkin Thunderbid Express Dock off the shelves of any Apple Store to use with a current generation Apple laptop or desktop computer.
    But the Level III Belkin technician admmtted that this critical little piece of simple, straightforward information should have been readily available to their Level 1 techies who began helping me 5 person hours ago.  Would even have saved Balkin loads of customer service support time.
    And so the saga ends
    Belkin owes me for helping them learn this precious lesson.

  • Getting an Analog (RCA) audio out from Apple TV 2

    I have an extra Acer X203H (DVI-D with HDCP) that doesn't have any speakers. I want to hook up a new Apple TV 2 to it so I can stream Netflix in the bedroom without having to buy a TV. So, here's the question:
    I am certain an HDMI to DVI should work, but I don't have a solution for audio. Converting optical audio to RCA appears to cost around $100 for the equipment but I'd like to avoid that if all possible. Any thoughts or ideas would be great.
    Thanks!

    You need an HDTV, this is a computer monitor, correct?
    Then you can either hook it up directly, sound output would be through the TV. Or you could hook up a receiver via optical. If you have an analogue receiver you can buy an adapter or route through the TV if there is an audio out port.
