Using External Speakers And Internal Speakers At The Same Time

I know this is probably a long shot, but is it possible to use both the external speakers I have (the cheaper Bose ones) and the internal speakers of my Intel iMac at the same time?
Probably not, right?
I'm just looking for a cool three speaker kind of experience. Just wondering. Thanks for the help. Asante sana.

Once you plug into the external headphone jack that's were your audio output for iTunes is. The exception here for me is at start-up, the sound will use the internals untill the external set-up is detected.
Something else you can do to add more to your external set-up is to split it with an adapter(s).
Examples use this adapter: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&DOY=search&ModuleNo=1221&criteria= one lead to your powered externals,
and the other to a Stereo or TV with this adapter: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=31700&doy=19m2
You can buy these adapters at most electronics outlets.
Hope this helps you expand on your sound set-up!

Using internal Speakers and optical Output at the same time ?

Hello,
is it now possible to use the internal Speakers and optical Output at the same time ?
Is this a software or hardware limitation ?
Every day im disconnecting the optical output. It can't be good for the contacts. I wont spend over 100 euros buying an external soundcard to solve this problem.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks ? best regards

My iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

It's not entirely impossible actually as someone has pointed out to me that I can turn on Call Forwarding and that stops any incoming calls. I've just forwarded it to my google voice number and then turned on "do not disturb" in google voice and whenever I get a call it goes straight to my google voice voicemail and my phone does nothing. The only thing now is I still get text messages but I think the phone calls bugged me more because they would make my music turn off for much longer.
Even though this isn't a perfect solution it's something so far so maybe you shouldn't just come out and say there's NOTHING I can do because so far I've found part of a solution. If you don't have anyting productive to say then just don't reply and close the tab. Thanks.
At this point I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Jailbreak tweaks that can enable what I want. Unless of course it's agaisnt the rules of this forum to mention jailbreak stuff...

How can i use both Windows and Mac os at the same time on my iMac

How can i use both Windows and Mac os at the same time on my iMac

You can use Parallels desktop or VM Fusion to run both operating systems at the same time. Both programs work well, but I personally perfer VM Fusion.

Hp pavilion g7; speakers and headsets playing at the same time suddenly.

When i woke up this morning, I found out that my speakers and headsets are both playing at the same time. It did not do this before and I've been really stumped in finding a fix. I have gone through most the the related threads about this online but none of the fixes have worked for me not even system restore.

Hi percepter,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you have developed a problem with your speakers and your headphones for your HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC. I will try my best to help you with this.
I suggest following the steps in this document for Troubleshooting Sound Problems with External Speakers and Headsets in Windows 7 for preforming a Windows sound test, to see what is causing this issue.
I hope this helps, please let me know how it goes.
Thank you and have a great day!

Can I use a usb and wireless keyboard at the same time on a mac pro

I wish to use the Mac Pro USB keyboard for Logic shortcuts and the Mac Pro wireless keyboard for normal typing etc. Is this possible?

Just as Matt has said, the Mac uses "all devices active" philosophy with keyboards and pointing devices. It does not automatically Switch to a later-installed device, it uses them ALL at the same time by default.

Internal speakers and line out at the same time?

I'd like to connect my Touchsmart 300-1125 to my stereo amplifier, to sometimes be able to play sound through the amp. The problem is that the internal speakers go silent whenever there is a cable in the line out jack (3.5 mm), so for times when I don't need the amp I have to fiddle with the cable to enable the internal speakers again.
Can I configure the audio driver so it doesn't disable the internal speakers when there is a cable in the jack?
(note that my model doesn't have the audio "phono" plugs on the rear, just a 3.5 mm headphone jack on the side and a 3.5 mm line out jack on the rear)
Thanks
Mike

Thanks Vidya,
I was hoping for a solution in the direction of your second link, ie a driver upgrade that would offer more control over the audio chip settings. It seems though that Analog Devices that delivers the audio chip for my Touchsmart doesn't offer any driver downloads, and refers back to the PC maker. And there is no audio driver when looking at downloads for my model on HP's site...
Anyway, inspired by this article http://forum.onmac.net/showthread.php?t=1239 I went ahead looking in the Registry and found this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000\AD1984A\FrontShutsOffInternalSpeaker
and when I set it to REG_BINARY:00 it seems to do mostly what I want, always leaving the internal speakers on. The only little annoyance is that it it leaves the speakers on both when I plug into the headphones jack and the rear line out jack, while I would have preferred to keep the auto-shutoff feature for the headphone jack.
Best regards

Using currency conversion and text variable at the same time

Hi all,
In a 3.5 bex query, i am applying currency conversion on a key figure with a variable of 0currency.
as i know, to be able to apply currency conversion, variable of currency should not be in Free characteristics or in Filter.
it has to be selected only on the key figure.
but now, i want to use text variable for selected currency (with type replacement path). But as i know, to be able to use text variable, variable of currency has to be
in Free characteristics or in Filter.
Can you please advise, how to both use currency conversion and text variable on currency?
Thanks in advance.
Sancho

Sancho,
I'm not 100% sure about this, but I'm thinking that if you are pulling the text variable from a selection in a structure, you should not need it in the free characteristic or filter. Try creating a structure, placing the currency in it as a selection, and creating a text variable as the title for the selection that is based on the currency. This may help.
Cheers,
Rusty

Using original airport and airport express at the same time

I am currently using a G4 iBook (14 in, 1.33 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 10.3.9) with Airport Express, which works great. However, I'd also like to make my iMac (slot-loading, 500 MHz, 384 MB RAM, 10.2.8) wireless. The iMac will accept an original airport card with an adapter. Should I anticipate any problems combining old and new technology like this?
Thanks!

Hi - and thank you for answering my original question. However, I have run into a bit of a problem. The installation of the airport card in the G3 iMac went fine, and I can see the network under the airport icon. But, when I go to join the network, the password I use for the iBook doesn't work and I cannot join. I get either "There was an error joining the selected Airport network" or "The password is not correct for the selected network". Should I be able to join the existing network using the same password? Does this sound like a configuration problem?
Some additional info which may not be relevant - my current setup with the iMac (prior to trying to go wireless) has the iMac connected to a Linksys cable/DSL router via an Ethernet cable. The DSL router is plugged into the original DSL modem I got from Earthlink. The router was added so that I can also use a laptop PC to work at home - but the PC laptop has not been plugged into the router during the time I've been trying to connect to the wireless network with the iMac. I'm told by the IT guys at work that the way things are connected and configured, the router does the actual dialing and not the DSL modem.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Sound plays out of my speakers AND my earphones at the same time

I'm not sure how long this has been going on for but I just found out that when I plug my earphones in that the sound still plays out loud from my laptop (supposed to only come out of earphones).
How do I fix this?
This laptop is only months old and I can't seem to avoid running into problems with it's audio. Thanks a lot beatsaudio HP. I'm a student so it's very important when in a library that I'm not producing music or sound for everyone. Just for my ears only please.
Jess

Hi @jlarbs
I understand that you are having a problem with sound playing through the speakers even when earphones are plugged in. I am happy to help.
A fix to try is, to go into the Control panel
then Hardware and Sound
then click on Sound and select the Recording tab
Select your microphone/headset as the default device, and press OK.
Also you can look at this page from answers.microsoft.com, as if offers a few more suggestions.

HT5517 why cant I listen on my apple tv speakers and airplay device at the same time?

It there any way of listening to my music on both devices or more?

Quite simply, that's not the way it works.

Using both WiFi and GPRS (not at the same time!)

When at home I want my E71 to use the WiFi, probably also when available in hotels etc. but otherwise I want to use the GPRS data conenction. There doesn't seem to be any easy way to set things up so that the E71 uses the 'best' connection.
Am I missing something or do I always have to select the connection method manually?

Your not missing anything, its not there. If you want to change the connection an application uses you need to do it manually each time.
The other option is to load an application such as this one.

Connect external audio + internal audio in the same time

Hello,
how I can connect my bose companion 2 and permit to operate at the same time the integrated speaker and the external audio speaker? I can with usb-rca cable. where I should bay?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I do not know anyone who has figured out how to do that! You can either use the external speakers or the internal speakers, but not both at the same time.

Can I use an iPad and a ipad2 with the same iTunes in my computer? I want to use both

Can I use an iPad and a ipad2 with the same iTunes in my computer? I want to use both. Want to give one to wife.do I need to open a new iTunes account for her?

Yes, No problem at all.

No - you can share the same iTunes account (my wife and I share the same account). But when you sync the iPads, just remember to select the correct content for her iPad and the correct content for your iPad.

HT201263 When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong

When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong?

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
- If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
- If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I am having trouble with my iPad, i can start it, but the iPad does not work. i tried to use the power and home button at the same time, the apple logo appears, but the iPad does not work. What am I suppose to do?

After the Apple logo appears, what happens then? Can you hear any sounds or if you tap on the screen, does it seem like apps can open or are you just seeing a black screen? You might have a hardware problem, but you can try restoring the software and see what happens.
Read this in its entirety before you do anything. Make sure you read the sections at the end about using recovery mode.
