Why does using a digital connection from headphones out on a Mac into a stereo disable the master volume control on the Mac?

When you use an analog connector, it does not disable the master volume on the Mac. It's only when you use a digital connector, and it's ALL digital connectors. It still allows you to use the iTunes volume control but, when you stream anything else on the web on your computer, you have to use the stereo's volume control because the master volume control on the Mac has been disabled. Does anyone know why?

I had the same problem, instead of logging in the router with the iMac (impossible) I did it with my iPad, I guess you can do the same with an iPhone.
-Disconnect the iPad from your wifi network and connect it to the TP-Link repeater.
-Open the web browser (I use chrome) be sure you don't have any other open tab, just the one to access tptlinkextender.net
-The configuring page opens, from there follow the steps of detecting your network and adding the password.
*If your MAC address is hidden it'll appear without name, in that case you have to configure it manually (write the name on the space for that)
Now go, be happy and do good.

  • Use of digital connection and Headphones - is it possibl

    I am extremely happy as I have found that by using the "Flexijack" configured as a digital output and connecting it to my Logitech speakers I have resolved a problem that had developed with my front speakers going missing.
    BUT when I try and use my headset for Skype I get distorted sound. Without the earphones connected the sound is perfect through the speakers. Is there a configuration I can use or I am expecting too much of the system ?
    I have an OEM version of the X-Fi supplied as part of a Dell Dimension 950
    Thanks in advance

    It really runs with APDU buffer of usual Java Cards! Of course it works with the APDU buffer: it's a global array.
    But SIM cards haven't such global array. Does it mean
    that this scenario will not run there?Yes, it won't. As the APDU buffer is a global array (what implies that it is also a temporary JCRE entry point object), you're not able to store the reference in a class attribute or instance variable. So it's not useable for a Toolkit Applet which has been triggerd by an event.
    A work around would be to pass each single primitive data unit to the Shareable Interface Object. But don't ask for performance ;o)

    Why does Firefox 'remember' a login from my last session when, on both occasions, I was using "Private Browsing"? How do I stop this (without clearing other data)?

    Try disabling hardware acceleration. Many visual bugs can be attributed to issues with graphics drivers.
    (Firefox -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> [ ] Use hardware acceleration when available)

    If you try by Ethernet you can verify if the issue is with your WiFi network or if your appletv is defect as most users do not suffer as you do

  • Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

    Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

    The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

  • When headset is inserted, why does sound continue to come from the speaker?

    When headset is inserted, why does sound continue to come from the speaker?

    Sure your inserting the headset into the Headphone Out port and not the In port..?
    Also what headset....?
    Most PC based headset with built in mic's will not work without using a device like the Griffin iMic.

  • Why does my Iphone 4s connect to my Wi-Fi network and latter in the day fail to connect until I reboot the router

    Why does my Iphone 4s connect to my wi-fi with a password and latter in the day fail to connect until I reboot the router?  Is there a setting on my router that would avoid this issue.  All my other devices connect alright

    OK so it now looks like on my iPhone 5 iwth iOS 6.1 the LTE network is conflicting with my home wifi (Airport Extreme). At the Apple store the LTE signal is lost in and wifi works like a charm. At home tired all of the "fixes"
    -No security
    -WEP
    -Reset network,
    -Complete reset and reload on the phone
    -ETC ETC ETC
    Just turned off the cell radio and it worked. Turned on the cell radio but kept LTE off and it worked.
    Apple let's get a fix so we can use your "great" phone. I have just received a BB Z10 from work and it seems to work flawlessly.

  • I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

    I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !
    I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
    The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

    The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
    So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
    As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

  • Why does my iPad continuously closes from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

    Why does my iPad continuously close from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

    It might be out of memory. Close all apps you're not using using the toolbar that comes up when you double click on the home button. Press and hold any icon and then tap on the red minus (-) symbol of the apps you're not using.

  • Why does useful features are limited to few adapters?

    Why does useful features are limited to few adapters?
    For eg : File receiver CC has a option to stop Empty messages from being processed.
    This is not available in SOAP receiver.
    Is it possible to have a standard adapter module in SOAP receiver CC that will achieve this?
    Regards,
    Venkat.

    Thats for SAP to answer i guess
    Well initially there was no option in the File adapter to handle empty messages but as requirement grew and more and more customers/consultants were in need to handle such a functionality, SAP brought it in through a SP release
    Maybe if this particular requirement of your finds popularity, then SAP might come up with a inbuilt solution

    in you case why do you need to send the SOAP receiver a empty message??
    If you need to handle it then the best is to do some workaround in the mapping and have a field in your target structure indicate that it is a empty message (something like a flag) and then do the routing logic based on this flag.

  • Why does FaceTime keep saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi?

    Why does FaceTime keep saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi? My friend in Texas has tried to call my via FaceTime but for some reason, every time she does, it keeps saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi. Keep in mind, I am from Nebraska so we have the same time zone and I have an iPod 4 while she has a iPhone of some sort but that shouldn't matter because I am still able to FaceTime my friend in California, which is two hours behind me. So, I guess I just want to know why I cannot reach my friend in Texas. Please, someone help me!

    Apple has released a document which is reported to address the recent FaceTime issue.

    Hi,
    iChat uses several port as they are called over the internet to do different things
    Text Chats and Video Chats are on different Ports.
    You probably don't have the port open.
    Use UPnP in your router if it has it.

  • Why does my computer keep disconnecting from my wifi?

    Why does my computer keep disconnecting from my wifi?

    Some users with various Wi-Fi problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Networkpreference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
    Step 1
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot and recreate the network settings.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 2
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 3
    Reset the PRAM.
