Using both sets of speakers

Howdy
Is it possible to use the speakers in the computer as well as the speakers in the stereo at the same time? If so, how do you do it?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I am using an Airporty Express to connect with my iMac. There is a cable going from the Airport Express into the Aux jacks on my Bose stereo. I connect wirelessly from my computer to the Express. At the bottom of the Airtunes window in a small button that allows me to choose between iTunes, Computer and Multiple Speakers. If I choose ITunes, the Bose is used. If I choose Computer, I get no music from either the computer speakers or the Bose. If I select Multiple Speakers, a small window opens that has two checkboxes in it. Computer is always checked. If I check the box for Itunes, I get music from the Bose only. I have not been able to get music from the computer since I hooked up the Airport Express. Hope this explanation helps.

How do I set upmy Imac to allow using both my computer speakers and a Bose SoundLink system as outputs at the same time. I can use one or the other, but not both.

Hi,
I would recommend you to use 0FI_AP_4 rather using both, particularly for many reasons -
1. DS: 0FI_AP_4 replaces DataSource 0FI_AP_3 and still uses the same extraction structure. For more details refer to the OSS note 410797.
2. You can run the 0FI_AP_4 independent of any other FI datasources like 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_GL_4 or even 0FI_GL_14. For more details refer to the OSS note: 551044.
3. Map the 0FI_AP_4 to DSO: 0FIAP_O03 (or create a Z one as per your requirement).
4. Load the same to a InfoCube (0FIAP_C03).
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

I bought a bluetooth Bose speaker so I could listen to music from my imac in multiple rooms at the same time. I wanted to use BOTH my existing speakers using the headphone jack and add additional bluetooth speakers in other rooms, but the imac wants me to pick one or the other, is there a way to have both?

Using multiple sets of speakers in stereo configuration (for movies)

I have hit a wall while trying to configure my stereo setup in my apartment. i'm trying to always take my stereo/audio setup to the full capabilities all the time, and i'm one small caveat away from making this idea work. hopefully someone can help me figure out this workaround.
i have my mac mini 2011 desktop setup to the right of the doorway (audio goes out FW800 to a pro tools mbox and outputs to the speakers), and there's a home stereo receiver to the left. the receiver plays to those shelf speakers, as well as speakers around the corner in the kitchen. both systems work well independently of each other, and sound like sets of speakers when they play sounds.
current situation: i finally ordered the long 1/8" extension cable to plug my mac mini headphones port into the stereo receiver, connecting the two. primarily so that i could switch outputs in system preferences and play tunes from my computer in the kitchen while cooking, but i learned about Aggregate devices and Multi-Output devices and i was able to use both systems at the same time, too.
but while i was ordering a 50' headphone cable extension, i got a long AC power cable and dvi as well so that the lady and i can put my monitor on the coffee table, connect it up, and sit on the couch to watch a movie with some popcorn n all that. the lady is pleased with a movie and popcorn, but i am unhappy with the options for getting the movie to sound right. We're watching pretty much in the sweet spot between the two systems.. here's my options:
1) __LR or LR__ - play the sound from either individual set of speakers. lady is happy, i can't stand it.
2) LRLR - play each system in a stereo configuration, lady is still happy, but it's still phase inconsistent. i am unsatisfied.
3 LLRR - this is the holy grail.
inside of the Audio Midi Setup window, i created a multi-output device called FULL STEREO to use the mbox and the headphone output @ the same time, and tried to "configure speakers"
i want my mbox to play the right channel through both speakers, and the built in output to play the left channel on it's two speaks. but it's not an option. check the error message.
I am hoping to not have to get out the soldering iron to make this work, but i am thinking i may need to get a small mixer and make some custom cables! i wanted to come and ask for advice first. can anyone help?

Do I need an AirPort to attach to each set of speakers that I want to connect, or is there another kind of receiver I can hook up to the speakers that do not have any kind of WiFi or Bluetooth configuration?
You basically have two choices: 1) Place an AirPort Express base station at each of the speaker locations, or 2) Use an AirPlay-Ready receiver that offers whole-home audio support. The latter would require that all speakers be connected back to the receiver.
Also, if I am planning to set up the airplay by using the extended network configuration, then the Wifi base station does not need to be an AirPort station? I have Fios and had trouble last time I tried to hook up an AirPort in place of the router that they provided.
The AirPlay networking protocol requires either a wireless or wired connection between the AirPlay server (typically iTunes) and the AirPlay speaker (AirPort Express, Apple TV, or an AirPlay-Ready receiver or speaker). AirPlay will traverse over an extended Wi-Fi network regardless of which manufacturer hardware is used.

USING BOTH HEADPHONES AND SPEAKERS

I work in a small store near a busy street, is there a way to keep the built in speakers of my MBP and my headphones as well, at the same time? Since I need music in the store but I don't want to hear all what's happening in the street...

I don't think this is possible, i think it's hardware controlled. As soon as you plug headphones in a switch is set to channel audio to ur headphones (but i could be wrong about this).
Close the door of the store ?

Can I use both internal speakers as a single channel in an aggregate device

?
(wouldn't let me put the question mark at the end of that)
I'd like to get some external speakers hooked up at some point to do surround sound, using the internal speakers as a center channel because the speakers i'm thinking of getting do 4 channels max... i'd need a 5th, but I want the center channel to be... well... just that... a CENTER channel...
The speakers that I want are Eminent Technology LFT-11's. The only panel speakers other than monsoon (which are not as good... and by the way, they licensed their technology from Eminent Tech. in the first place... I may start with a 5.1 set of those until I can afford the LFT's... the problem is... monsoon was bought and their multimedia speakers were discontinued. looks like a job for ebay...)

No one has shown us a way to use both the internal speakers and the external speakers at the same time. Snow Leopard does not do it. I have not yet seen any 3rd party work around. I have heard of something called Jack OS X, but know nothing about how it works or what it actually does. Maybe that is an option.

Using both the output and the internal speakers?

Hello,
Is using both the internal speakers and the output speakers on new iMacs an absolutely-no-way thing or I just haven't found it yet?
It seems I've needed it a lot lately.

Sorry no, Sorry!

How can I use airplay with multiple speakers from my iPod?

I recently purchased a bluetooth wireless speaker in hopes that, while the ipod is docked on a speaker system, I can listen to my music from both set of speakers. Is there anyway to use multiple speakers with my ipod through the airplay system or an app that I can download to enhance my music listening experience?

Based on previous discussions, You can only AiPlay to one set of speakers.

I have a macbook pro4.1 and the sound chip in it failed. My speakers and microphone no longer work. Does anyone know of an external speaker and microphone set that plugs into the USB port so I can continue to use both of these functions?

I have a macbook pro4.1 and the sound chip in it failed. My speakers and microphone no longer work. Does anyone know of an external speaker and microphone set that plugs into the USB port so I can continue to use both of these functions and not have to pay to have the entire main board replaced. Preferably something under $100.

I don't think you're likely to find a set of external speakers that come with a microphone and plug directly into a USB port. There are USB audio cards that look like tiny flash drives but have microphone and headphone ports in them, to which you can connect a typical two-plug Windows PC headset with a microphone, or else you can connect external speakers and a stand-alone microphone. Those adapters typically cost under $10. I don't know anything about the quality of sound that can be expected from them.
I have a Griffin iMic, which is much the same idea but larger, a bit more expensive (retail~$40), and perhaps delivers somewhat better sound quality (I hope so, but I don't know because I've never had occasion to try one of the little ones).

How do i set up a second display for my iMac desktop? I want to use both displays at the same time.

how do i set up a second display for my iMac desktop? I want to use both displays at the same time. My iMac is the 24" Late 2006 model. I recall that there is a cord for plugging in a second monitor, but I want to make sure that i can use both monitors side-by-side at the same time. thank you.

If the Display supports DVI, then you will need a > Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter and a DVI cable.
If the Display only supports VGA, then you wiil need a > Mini DVI to VGA Adapter and a VGA cable.
Noting that the (digital) DVI is far better than the (analog) VGA connection.

Is there any way to stop the delay between different sets of speakers when using airport express?

Is there any way to stop the delay between different sets of speakers when using airport express?

Unfortunately, I don't have either a Slingbox or iHome speakers so I won't be able to reproduce any of the issues you are having. With the fact that you live in large apartment complex would still lead me to believe that Wi-Fi interference may be the reason that you are having streaming issues.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

Is there a way to make a mono Flash stream use both speakers?

It would be nice to get a mono Flash stream to use both speakers to get extra volume or to use both ears.

Hi R. Mitchell Fore
I do - disconnect audio clip. Copy it. Paste it on next Audio track.
Re-connect them as Stereo Pair. Still Mono but now comming from the center of the room.
Works greatly in my projects.
Is there anything important I missed ?
