Transform any Mac audio port as as virtual airtunes remote speaker???

Is there a software to emulate airtunes on a mac so my mac audio port behaves as a virtual remote speaker in iTunes? I have a network with several Macs and PCs so it would be fine if it exists...

If you share your iTunes then all PCs and Macs on a single network can access and play a single shared iTunes library on a single computer.
VNC/ARD can be used to remotely control the remote Mac/PC if required.

Can i use Marshall amp as audio interface/preamp to connect to Garageband(to prevent the feedback when connected to macs audio port)

I have been trying to connect my guitar to my macbook 1,1 for use with Garageband and Mainstage. As per the garageband manual i was connecting my Fender Strat Squire straight into my mac audio port using the 1/4-1/8 adapter. When i do this the sound quality ***** especially when i try to use some of the virtual amp settings that create distortion and cool effects. Basically anytime im playing my guitar in GB or Mainstage and im connected straight into the audio port i get a MASSIVE amount of feedback noise and no matter what i do with the noise gate or settings i cant get it to go away unless i turn the settings down so low i can barely hear the guitar. I know that you can purchase an 'audio interface' or 'preamp' like Apogee or M-Audio Fastrack or some of the many others and this allows for clean sounding recording. My query is basically this: i have a Marshall MG100 DFX that does appear to have an emulated line out port that the manual says i can use to "connect your amp directly to your multi-track recording machine". Does this mean i can just use my amp as my audio interface between my guitar and my computer? I seem to remember hearing before that this was possible but i want to be sure. I really dont want to spend $ on an audio interface as they are very expensive and i figure if my Marshall amp can work just the same ill stick with that for now. Any responses and advice will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks for your time.

yes, you can try it
make sure you're using the line-IN, either way:

(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
also note that many of the amps just _are_ very noisy

How to change audio port output to input port on mac os x 10.9.2 to connect electric guitar on macbook pro for garageband

How to change audio port from output to input port so that i can connect my electric guitar to play along with garageband. I couldn't the option to change it in my system preferences of sound as my mac os x is 10.9.2. So please help me!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to play electric guitar with my garageband so badly!!! :O
Mac os x 10.9.2. ; Garageband 10.0.2

There is no audio line input on your Mac, get a USB interface, get one that is specified for guitars.

HT3924 Why TDM exclusive to the iMac? Shouldn't any Mac from 2009 with the correct port have the same option?

Why Target Display Mode exclusive to the iMac? Shouldn't any Mac from 2009 with the correct ports have the same option? Is there a physical limitation that prevents MacBook Pro/Air notebooks with thunderbolt ports from entering Target Display Mode? Or does someone just need to poke the OSX development team with a stick?

that was the route I took this time when I updated to 10.5.6 - the downloaded combo updater rather than the smaller (half the size) Mac updater...
Pretty sure this is a combination of MTU, 2Wire 2701 oddities and me not knowing how to solve them directly (as well as the ipv6 stuff that's still showing in the logs despite IPv6 being turned off).
Anyhow, I did get it connected under the Ambit finally (took restarting the mac, not expecting that in the "switch" from windows xp)- and that really rocked. Now I'm working on teaching my 2Wire to be a dumb modem, to go with the operator
Actually, I think I'll just cut my losses for the moment and go with cable, once I find a good wireless router to connect the media center and xp box up front.

I left my headphones into my new macbook pro and now there is no volume through headphones or without. I have tried to reset the audio port and it is not on mute. Any ideas?

I left my headphones into my new macbook pro and now there is no volume through headphones or without. I have tried to reset the audio port and it is not on mute. Any ideas?

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

HT2463 Could the opening or closing of any of these ports be involved in an intermittent 8008 error in attempting to download iTunes movies to my Mac?

I've been working on an issue with two Macs and a PC with trying to download movies from iTunes, and the downloads were consistently stopping at about 1/3 of the way through the dowload, with error 8008. When troubleshooting with the ISP in real time, watching the downloads, finally some of the movies downloaded, and others continued to stop, now at either the 1/3 or 2/3 of the data, still with error 8008. I'm wondering if any of these ports not being open could be involved with this issue.

Any way to utilize front audio ports on cas

I picked up the Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic today at a local store since the rest of the hardware will be coming in tommorrow (forgot to order a sound card, hence the reason I bought it at the store). Anyways, the case I ordered has a speaker and mic plug in the front of the case. Is there any way to use these things with the Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic? I switch from my speakers to headphones a lot and really find it annoying crawling behind the computer every time I need to. ;P Front audio ports would make things extremely convinient.
So, any possiblities with the X-Fi XtremeMusic?
If that's not possible, could I plug in the headphones to the third output on the card since I'm only running a 4. speaker setup?

Incase anyone else needs it, here are the pinouts:
- Analog Ground
2 - Analog Headphone Out Left
3 - Audio Backpanel Mute -- short to ground to mute the backpanel (when headphones are plugged in)
4 - Analog Headphone Out Right
5 - same as #3
6 - Mic input from front panel
7 - key pin (shouldn't be there)
8 - VREF out -- voltage reference for Mic
9 - MIC IN MUTE -- ground when mic isn't plugged in, +2VDC when mic is plugged in
0 - Audio cable detect -- will be ground when headphones are plugged in (not normally used)

Thunderbolt port wont connect to SAMSUNG and audio port detection disables internal speak forever

I've had this Yosemite (10.10.2) since it's launch and never have I encountered a problem with my hdmi-to-thunderbolt port adapter until now I actually decide to use it. I find out that I cannot display my Mac on any TV screen to play a movie, watch Netflix or, play a game in fullscreen.
That not the only problem I've encountered.
I've encountered the internal speak disappearing from the audio output settings when I plugin my headphone. When I remove the jack from the audio port the internal speaker doesn't alway come back when I want it to. There needs to be a manual way to switch back or a thing to switch of the auto-detection.

Eric,
Thanks for the advice but, my Macbook pro is all the way up to date with the latest stuff. I this is of a more software issue I ran into and found out the new OS (Operating System) has affect my Thunderbolt port. I'm wondering if there's a way to fix it?

Not able to recognize any video/audio devices using jmf and java soun

Hi ,
I need one help from your side.
Here I am expecting some clarifications from you. Before that let you my environement.
My working environment :
Eclipse tool and added jmf jar to my project I did not do any thing more.
If any thing I need to do just let me know. My target platform is MAC & UBUNTU.
Please bare with my questions.
1) I am not able to recognize any video/audio devices using jmf and java sound APIs on My system.
( I checked with the app mentioned in the http://www.java-forums.org/new-java/11201-jmf-cannot-connect-device.html )
Do we need any administrives rights for our working PC.
What is the procedure/ setup I need to follow from a java application to enable particular audio/video device since I dont about end-user system setup right.
If possible send some sample code to recognize /r detect audio device ( voice input ). It should run on both MAC and UBUNTU.
2) I run the one sample audio recording application of this link (http://www.jsresources.org/examples/SimpleAudioRecorder.java.html) which is provided by YOU.
I got output audio file and able to hear voice on UBUNTU system but not able to hear voice on MAC system.
I heared that default line in ( audio setup of the sys) is wont take any voice data on MAC.Why I made this stmt means we are getting false when using isSupported methods of JAVA SOUND API.
( like for TragetdataLine ...i,e, all ports are getting false)
I have one sample audio recording app implemented by QUICKTIME API. In this case also he taking audio ftom device only using quicetime API.
With that we are able to record and hear audio ( voice input --> not line in , external device we added some thing like SSB...)
3) In case of Video capturing DataSource, Streams are implemented by PullBufferDataSource , PullBufferStream intefaces used.
In case of Audio capturing DataSource, Streams are implemented by PushBufferDataSource, PushBufferStream intefaces used.
Can you explain the reasons ? I gone through API but i am not clear.
HOPE I WILL BE CLARIFIED EVERY THING FROM YOU.

Why does my line-in audio port quit stop working while recording?

My set-up is a bit confusing, so I'll try and be very specific.
I record into Garageband via the following set-up:
Microphone(s) run into TASCAM 4-track -> RCA-to-Stereo Cable runs out of TASCAM into MacBook Pro via the single audio port.
This generally works fine for several hours, but the last 3 times I've had a recording session, the audio signal has dropped to virtually nil without any warning. At this point, even yelling into the microphone (with the TASCAM max-ing out) will only produce 1 volume bar in the "Line-In" system preference screen. At best, it sounds like a very quiet whisper.
My microphone is working (works while recording to tape) as does my cable (RCA - to - Stereo) when used in other situations. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Am I tripping some sort of internal line-in volume...protector? (Is that even a thing?) Or do I need a new audio port?

funny how to one seems to have an answer for this, I just posted my own issue, audio in line port just stopped working after update.

HT2844 iMac 27"(late 2009), Audio in/Optical digital audio out port, stopped recognizing my new Bose speaker system, previously working...

Hello,
My iMac 27"(late 2009), Audio in/Optical digital audio out port, stopped recognizing my new Bose speaker system, previously working through that port. I tested the speaker system through my iPhone, and it works fine. I hooked it up to the Headphone out/Optical digital audio in port, and it works through that port also. I did a computer restart, I also checked all wiring and did a system repair on the computer. I also restarted the computer in mode where I could use the system utility, and the computer still did not correct the matter, and it reported everything as being "ok". I wented into "sound", through system preferences, and the computer does not recognize anything I plug into the Audio in/Optical digital audio out port. When I plug the speaker sysytem into the headphone out/optical digital audio out port, it does recognize the Bose speaker system as being "headphones".
Reading through a lot of forums, I hear everything from compatibility, to the port being stuck, and on and on. Since the port was working before, and just quit working one day, I wonder if there is a capacitor or fuse or some type of similar thing is blown, and causing the port to be unfunctionable. Maybe the port went bad, but before this time, I had never used it, and the computer does not move around, and I never plug in and pull wiring out unless needing to, and that being rare.
Here is a link to Costco, where I bought the system, and the exact system I have, if this is any help: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku= A4092931&ST=pla&dgc=ST&cid=262075&lid=4742361&acd=1230980794501410
By the way, I am running OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5). I upgraded to Mavericks about a month ago, and expeirienced a number of issues, and had to take my iMac into Apple. Talking with the tech, I decided to wait for a while more before I upgraded to Mavericks. I try and keep the computer maintained.
If any of you have any ideas regadrding wear and tear, and fix I can do, etc., besides having to take my computer into Apple? Thank you, and potentially all of you, for your time and effort in helping me with this issue. Thank you kindly.
davE

Okay, davE, first, you have posted in the "Mac Pro" forum (not Macbook Pro), so we can't be super helpful
but we help you. First, hold down the Option key while clicking on the speaker icon at the top of your screen. This should show you all the inputs and outputs you have. you could check in "About this Mac" then "More info" to see whatever's recognized. Then, maybe, fire up Audio MIDI. your speaker system should show up there. something might have gotten set incorrectly. You can test it there. I guess you are using the good ol' analog cable for connection, and it works on your iPhone, so the cable isn't bad. You could try this. it 's an adapter which might solve your problem
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HBWYQ6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
depending on which model of Bose speaker you have, you might try doing a product reset
turn off speakers...unplug power cord from outlet...wait 1 minute..plug cord into outlet..turn on speakers..
\\turning off automatic standby||
press and hold top of control pod for 6 seconds until you hear 2 tones that go from high to low
other than that ,I don't know

Rear audio port problem

My front audio port works just find, but the rear seems to be dead. Is this a known problem with the Mac Pro?
Lee
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I had to take my first Mac Pro back foor a dead rear port. They are really poorly constructed. Even when it works there is a ton of play in the jack. Very typical of PC motherboard mounted audio jacks too. No surprise the Mac Pro shares this problem.
Any hard yank or pull probably has a good chance of doing damage the way the plug fits in.
Make sure you have Line Out selected in the sound control panel too.

Analog Audio into Macbook Pro Audio Port

I'm trying to pass an analog audio music signal from an external recorder thru my mac pro.
Preferences settings are:
Input- audio port
Output-internal speakers
Signal is hitting the computer and registering on the input level indicator as being received but it is not being delivered by the internal speakers.
The signal from the external recorder has been verified by myself via the use of a set of headphones.
Apple Care expert technicians insist that a driver should be provided by the external device (which to me is rediculous) however I called them the device mfr.to check which resulted in nothing being available, as I expected.
Is the mac manual correct that a line level mic. (which I interpret as being an alalog signal) should work with my Mac??

I don't know what the Apple manual you're referring to says on the subject, but I doubt that LineIn is performing an analog-to-digital conversion, since the speakers need an analog signal.
And I don't think LineIn provides any amplification, either. It just enables a software path from the audio input to the speakers that isn't there otherwise. If your speaker volume is acceptable, then the signal you're inputting is already preamplified (= line-level).
But I'm no audio professional, and I could be wrong about any of this. All I really knew was that LineIn would serve your needs if your incoming signal was suitable, as it apparently was.

I have a record player hooked up through the audio port. The input volume is registering high, but there is no output anywhere. Help?

I have a record player hooked up to a preamp which is hooked up through the audio port.The sound settings are set to have the audio port be "input". The input volume is registering high with fluxuations in the sound settings, but there is no output anywhere. Do I need some sort of third party application or widget to hear the record i'm playing through the speakers that are hooked up to my computer?

keithstopher,
You may want to check into a USB interface, as I believe you have a Mac with the single audio port, which can be used as input OR output.
You may want to check into something like the following, there are may out there, see what fits your needs best.
