Watching DVDs on MacBook, but outputing the sound to HiFi

Hi,
We don't have a TV, so watch DVDs on the MacBook. As the sound isn't great from the built in speakers, I'd like to play the sound through my hifi. Do I have to use a wire to do this, or can I stream it on wifi somehow, for example to be picked up by a Roku Soundbridge or Apple TV which would then connect to the amplifier?
I can't find anything about this, which I guess may mean that it doesn't happen. I guess it might get out of sync with the picture!
If there is a solution I'd be glad to hear of it.
Thanks in advance,
Dom

The only audio output that can come from your macbook is either through the speakers or headphone jack. There are cables available that can link the audio out (headphone jack) to various other audio equipment.

  • Able to import a video from a DVD to iMovie but not the sound.

    I made a .dmg file from a DVD and was able to import the video to iMovie, but there is no sound. When I click on the .dmg on my desktop it shows two folders, one labeled VIDEO_TS and the other AUDIO_TS. Any suggestions?

  • IDVD copies the movie but not the sound

    Hi,
    With IDVD one-step-dvd I try to copy edited movies from a Sony Handycam directly to DVD. Unfortenatly it copies only the images but not the sound. Anybody has the same experience and knows the solution? When I import the movie into IMovie the sound is allright.

    Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

    I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either.  I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
    3. If you've installed something called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and reboot. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. If you've installed an equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and reboot.
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
    7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Reboot and test.
    9. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    10. Reset the NVRAM.
    11. Reset the SMC.
    12. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
    13. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

    i recently buy an apple iphone 4s.the problem is that when i started music player on my iphone the speaker is not outputting the sound.and when i lock the phone at the same time the sound starts.thos problem is from last 3 days.and i am really confused???

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • HT201335 I want to watch an iTunes rental video on my MacBook Pro but stream the sound to my Airport Express linked speakers.  However re Airplay icon doesn't show up in iTunes when playing the rental video.  Is there a way around that?

    I want to watch an iTunes rental video on my MacBook Pro but AirPlay the audio to my AirPort Express linked speakers.  However the AirPlay icon isn't available when arching the rental video in iTunes.   Is there another way?  Do I need to but an AppleTV?  I don't own a TV, hence why I want to watch on my MacBook Pro.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    With or without an Apple TV you can't send video to one device and audio to another using AirPlay.

  • No audio output from my MacBook, but still chime sounds upon loading !

    Hi Guys,
    Basically my Mac all of a sudden started bugging out loading real slow, Generally lagging. So I held the the power button down for ten seconds for an emergency reboot. When everything loaded up again I couldn't get any sound from my Mac being no bleeps when when I'd toggle with the volume or any sound when listening to iTunes. HOWEVER.. The chime upon loading when turning on the Mac works and when I open up one of my projects in Logic Pro X the sound works in relation to playing the music I've worked on with my project but still if I toggle the volume there's still no sound along with iTunes, Youtube... Everything !
    Extremely strange and I'd really appreciate help with this please.
    Kind Regards,

  • RE: External speakers don't work while watching DVD on MacBook

    Hello, I have a late 2006 white 13-inch MacBook. I have been trying to use an Altec Lansing external speaker while watching a DVD movie on my Mac, in order to increase and improve the sound, but when I plug the speaker cable into the headphones jack on my Mac, no sound comes out of the speaker. The speaker works fine when I plug it into the same jack to listen to music in my iTunes library, so I know the problem isn't with the speaker per se.
    Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem? I have tried to play around with the Sound on System Preferences and with the Audio MIDI setup but I'm not sure which setting is at fault. Thanks very much.

    Hi, thanks for your response. When I got into Preferences>Disk Setup, under Audio Output, "System Sound Output" is selected (there are no other options listed). Also, "Disable Dolby dynamic range compression" is checked.
