Wireless to Bose Surround Sound System

I want to connect my computer (PowerBook G4) with all my ITUNES! to my surround sound system that is a Bose connected to my Sony TV so that I can listen to my music on my Surround Sound. What is the wireless solution? What is the best and most cost effective solution? Do I need an internet connection? I have Comcast for my provider. All goes through the Bose. It's a 123 Bose. The best answer will experience great music!

Susan;
I am doing that right now. You will need to get one
of the Airport Express units. Plug it into an outlet
close to the Bose system and plug an audio cable
between the Airport Express and the AUX input on the
Bose. Itunes will see the Airport Express and you
will be given the choice in Itunes to play on your
computer or the Airport. Works like a dream!
I am going to try it this afternoon. Thanks. I'll let you know.

BOSE SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY

My Fios STB is having trouble communicating with my Bose system.
The Bose says it is not getting a video signal (from STB).
If I unplug the HDMI and plug it back in, then I get a signal.
After 3 service calls and many hours wasted with this issue, I still have not figured it out.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
My Direct TV system had no problems. I miss Direct...

Your having an HDMI sync issue. This is a common problem for any devices using HDMI regardless of what kind of product or service it is. Most devices can be hooked up fine together, but other particular pairings can cause sync issues. They vary in levels of severity and frequency. Its the unique pairing of the BOSE system to the Motorolla STB thats causing this to happen. Alot of these sync issues are minimized with the newer versions of device firmware. Our boxes are constantly being updated and have software downloaded to it automatically from time to time. Your BOSE , unless you upgraded since then, still has the factory software. Check with BOSE Tech support to see if the BOSE system firmware can be upgraded and go through the process.

I have a ipod nano, and I bought a Bose portable sound system, when I put my ipod in the unit and play my songs in shuffle mode, it plays the same song over and over, how do I get it to play in shuffle mode?

I have a ipod nano, and I purchased a Bose portable sound system to play my ipod on

next song on the remote or do it manually. Does anybody have a solution?????

Sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to turn it off.

Can I Connect an iPod Nano to Logitech Z-680 surround sound system?

I want to know if I can connect my iPod Nano 16GB to my Logitech Z-680 Surround Sound System. I already connect my MacBook to the system by plugging into the three plugs in the back of the controller then those three plugs merge into one plug which I then plug into the headphone jack on the side of my MacBook. Since the battery life of my MacBook is 2 hours, at best, Id like to use my iPod to play music. I tried plugging in the plug that I use for connecting my MacBook into the headphone jack of my iPod but I could not get any sound. The single plug seemed a bit small for the iPod. There are, also, two other jacks on the Logitech Z-680 controller, which are located on the front of the controller. One is for headphones and the other I am not sure. It has a musical note symbol above it. I have never used that jack before. Any suggestions/guidance is greatly appreciated.

This video guide should explain it:

5.1 Surround Sound System in iTunes

When I use the integrated Windows function to 'test' sound, all speakers of my 5.1 Surround-Sound System are used. But when I play music in iTunes, only the 3 front-speakers are used. Help!

iTunes music does not output surround sound, it's not supported. The best option to get sound from all of your speakers is to change the Sound Field/Sound Preset on your Surround Sound System so that 2 Channel audio will be played through all of your speakers.

Can I hook up my apple tv to my surround sound system and keep my regular tv hooked up to surround sound at the same time?

Can I hook up my apple tv to my surround sound system, but keep my regular tv hooked up to the surround sound as well?

If your audio amplifier has multiple hdmi imputs, you can connect the apple tv to one and the tv to another.
Works well for me, and now I can mirror itunes to get the new itunes radio on the music system, and have the tv system also work.

Connecting my Macbook (Alu) to my surround sound system in the lounge?

I really enjoy listening to Spotify, and I have a 6 speak surround system in my lounge.
Is there a way to combine the two?
My surround only has Scart and 'coaxial'? inputs.
My TV has yellow red and white sockets.
Anything I can do?
Seems a shame to waste the surround sound - when life could be so good

You can get multi-channel audio out of the MacBook using the optical audio output that is accessed through the same port as the standard 3.5mm analog audio out (i.e. the headphone output). However, the only software that Apple provides that outputs multi-channel audio is the DVD Player.
Digital optical to coax converters are available so to access the optical output you'd need a 3.5mm to TOSLINK adapter (cheap about $2 USD), an optical cable, an optical to coax converter (relatively inexpensive), and a section of coax cable.
Remember, however, that you'll only get multi-channel output when using Apple's DVD Player application with DVDs that contain multi-channel audio.

Surround sound system

I just got surround sound for my mac and was wondering if there was a way to let a stereo signal play on multiple speakers. For example, most of my music is stereo so itunes only outputs to my left and right speakers. Ideally, I would want to right signal to play on both the front and back right speakers and the left signal to play on both the front and back left speakers.
Also, for confirmation, I bought the audigy 2 nx and it works fine out of the box. You can moddify the speakers to channel connections using audio midi. It seems like there should be a way to get this program to solve my problem but I cant figure it out. Thanks for any help.

by a "real stereo i mean a speaker system that is hooked up to a reciever that is capible of decoding dolby digital, and then a real stereo has speakers require power than what you can get straight out of the computer headphone jack. and as for how to set itunes to surround sound, you can't it simply sends out the file which happens to be in stereo (left and right) in order to get surround sound from a stereo signal you need a reciever that imulate surround sound from a stereo signal

I can't play iTunes Movies in 5.1 surround on my surround sound system

I like to download iTunes movies to my MacMini from iTunes store. Recently I gave up doing so because I can't play iTunes movies in 5.1 surround on my surround system. My MacMini is connected to my Marantz 6007 SR via HDMI cable. However I can get DTS or 5.1 surround sound from my system with other players such as VLC player.
How can I fix this problem as I really want to buy or rent movies from iTunes store?

Hi komansava,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your Mac Mini is able to output 5.1 audio to your surround sound receiver, but iTunes purchases do not play in surround sound.
When playing iTunes purchases, first see if iTunes is set to output the movie you're playing in surround sound:
Set up iTunes to play content in surround sound
Movies you purchased or rented from the iTunes Store may have stereo audio and digital surround sound tracks. ...
In iTunes, click the Speech Bubble icon to view your audio choices, such as English (Surround). If the surround sound choice is dimmed or the icon doesn't appear, make sure you are using the appropriate hardware and that the content is encoded with digital surround sound.
You can find this information here:
Set up iTunes and your DVD Player for digital surround sound - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy

How can I connect my apple TV to my surround sound system without running any extra cables?

I have my Apple TV connected to my TV via HDMI. The TV is connected to an auxiliary box that outputs sound to house speakers. I don't want to run any additional wires because of the distance to my auxiliary box and the fact all my wires now run through the wall. Also the auxiliary box lacks any extra HDMI ports.
On cable, the TV sound plays surround sound, but on the Apple TV sound plays from the TV itself.
Is there any way to alter settings on the TV (LG LB6100 Smart TV) to change the sound source?

if you have a router and set it up for wifi and have ethernet plugged in then point your iPhone to that router and it will connect to the ATV.

Macbook aluminum, connecting audio to surround sound system. HELP!!

Hi,
I'm tryna connect sound running from my macbook to my home cinema kit. the sound system has a fiber optic input. so im trying to connect the sound via digital means. can you tell me what cables i need. I saw the fiber optic cables and i no the headphone jack can support fiber cable, but can some one tell me what piece i need to connect to my cable so i can stick it in the headphone jack of the mac.
Hope this make's sense.

The headphone jack on the MacBook is a combined analog and digital optical port. Since it's the 3.5mm size, if you want to connect it to your sound system via a digital optical audio cable, you'll also need what's known as a mini-SPDIF to SPDIF adapter or cable. It looks like there's a cable with an adapter available at the UK online Apple store. If you already have a cable, you may be able to find one of the adapters at a local electronics store. They're usually available at a Radio Shack in the U.S., for example.

Adjusting volume for rear speakers in a 5.1 surround sound system

Hi,
I have a basic Logitech X-540 5.1 sound system spakers. I am trying to point the rear speakers to where I'm sitting, but I cannot hear much from them except in certain songs or videos. I was wondering if there's any way that I can adjust the volume on the rear speakers so that I can hear them more?
Thanks in advance.

Songs are stereo, so use the best upmixing method.
Notice the "1" for rear left & right - change that to e.g. 1.5, to be louder.

Playing iTunes Movies in 5.1 surround on my surround sound system

I have the opitcal cable working. I have changed the channel seletion to surround on the movie and there is no audio. So, in short, I want to use my MacBook Pro to play iTune movies in 5.1 on a surround system. Currently, I am running OS X 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1. I can play DVD's back in 5.1, so this must be an iTunes issue. Please help.
Thanks,
Kim

Channel selection on the receiver right?
Also, do a "Get Info" on the file you are attempting to play in iTunes. Does it show Surround (or something similar) for the "Channels" tag?
In any case, I found the following:

How do I play my shuffle through my surround sound system via a USB port?

Help! Love my new shuffle. Would love to play it through my LG surround system that has a USB port on the front. I connected my docking usb with shuffle in and it tells me there is no data. Is it not as simple as this? Don't seem to be able to find any info from the manuals.
Thanks

Use a cable with 3.5mm mini plug on each end and connect one end to the system's audio-in and the other to the shuffle's earphone jack.
Shuffle doesn't play through USB without a special adaptor that interfaces it to normal iPod "universal" dock connections...

Connecting a TV to a surround sound system for audio

I just bought a basic sound bar, and hooked it up with the optical cable. I have it working, but the volume is not controlled by the TV, but by the special remote that came with the sound bar. Is there a way to have the TV volume control change the volume?

No, I don't believe it's possible with a soundbar connected via optical cable.
