The tower speaker just doesn't cut it and I want to hook up my 5.1 Locitech speaker system. I couldn't find any Mac sound cards on newegg and am having trouble finding results anywhere else. What card is recommended by most Mac Pro users? My professions isn't in audio so it doesn't have to be perfect, just something to play games, music, and movies.

I bought Brand New Macbook pro 15" Late 2011 Ci7, this is incredible machine. But a month past and i started to notice a very strange behavior: When i using mac for resource "Eating" application or processes my computer starts to Heat-this is normal.
When i close all the apps here starts interesting) I have Istat installed, so i can see what temps are in my system. Computer is cooling, and when cpu reaches 50-55 degrees (Celsium, from 80 degrees, because of heavy load) ,my left speaker produces a single loud pop sound. (like something turning of may be)

I have a Mac Pro and a set of Klipsch 4.1 Pro Media speakers/subwoofer with 1/8 Jacks for front and rear.
I'm coming from a Windows PC that had a sound card with both front and rear outputs.
Looking at the Mac Pro, it appears there is only 1 analog out jack?
How do I get all 4 speakers working with surround sound?
I have a 1st generation ipod (10g) and a new macbook pro. I don't have firewire on the macbook pro and need a cable that will work so I can transfer music from my old ipod onto my macbook. I have a 400/800 firewire adapter which connect fine to my ipod, but doesn't connect to my macbook.

Its very noticeable when you play around in your balance settings (max left or max right) that the volumes are different.
I don't have room for a subwoofer and need a quality set of speakers to put on top of my desk. I plan on using them with a 13" MBP connected to a 24" Apple LED Cinema display.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm in the market for a speaker system for my new Mac Book Pro 17" and 24" Apple Cinema Display setup. Currently, I'm using really old speakers that, in my opinion, did fine. In other words, I didn't really do any sound studio like activities that warrants me to get the top of the line system.
Essentially, I'm just looking to upgrade (it is 7 years old). Is there anything out there right now that is "the best bang for the buck?" In other words, provide great sounds, it's innovative, it's essentially to this Apple setup, etc. etc.

Actually, still moving into it from the old one, haven't spent allot of time on it, hard to get out of the old one with my photoshop work. Anyhow, whats a good external speaker system for it? I find myself with the volume maxed out on the internal iMac speakers now, don't think it's too good to keep doing that. Is the amp in the iMac my only control over volume? Can I buy a speaker system of very good quality that may have amps within them so I can get more volume to them? I have a real top end stand alone stereo system, but doubt the iMac iTunes can be run through that.
so ive plugged the right, left, bass, and center in but the front right has 3 jacks coming out of it, i only have 2 jack ports on my imac!
View 8 Replies View RelatedI was looking to do a simple speaker upgrade for my mac, and somewhere along the line it turned into me building an entry level hifi system.I have decided on the B&W 685 speakers and Rotel equipment. Keeping in mind that this is for a medium sized bedroom:
1. Is the difference between using an integrated amp versus a pre-amp and power amp setup that different considering the extra cost?
For the integrated setup I was looking at: Rotel RA-1062
For the pre/power amp setup: Rotel RC-1070 and Rotel RB-1072
2. How would playing an Apple Lossless file from the aux port on my powerbook compare to playing the actual cd from a quality player? I was looking at the Rotel RCD-1072 CD player.
3. I need cable recommendations. I want to bi-wire the speakers, connect my laptop to the amp, and possibly connect a CD player to the amp. I don't want to spend more than $200 on cables.
I'd like to use the "Bose Acoustimass� 10 speaker system" [URL] for iTunes music out of my iMac and somehow be able to switch the audio over to my T.V. whenever to play Xbox and watch movies through it as well.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a logitech 5.1 surround sound with subwoofer with 5 speakers connected to my macbook os x 10.5.4 leopard and only 2 speakers give sound. Was told to go to the control panel of my windows operating system and go to surround settings and make sure that the speaker set up is set to 5.1 surround. By default it is set to 2 speaker output. How do I find its equivalent in the mac os x i.e the control panel that will permit me to set my speaker set up to 5.1 surround?

I have my PC and my appletv streaming and I wanted to put something in my kitchen as well just wanted to figure out the most minimalist way to do it.
I have a 2.1 Logitech Z4 setup, and the sound is only coming out of the left speaker. I have checked the wires, they are fine, and both speakers do work - but it could be the socket that's the problem. It's plugged into the line-in socket, I have put the output in System Preferences to Headphones, and everything is inserted correctly.
What do I do?
EDIT: My sound system is plugged into the headphones jack. I have tried putting headphones into the headphone jack and the sound also only comes out of the left earbud.
My girlfriend and I attended the Toronto Raptors game last nightFor those of you from Toronto, we parked below the Novotel Hotel on the Esplande. Since both of us were coming from work we had are valuables in the trunk. (we both placed are stuff in the trunk prior to arriving at the location). Well when we arrived back to the car we noticed the back passenger side window was smashed in and the trunk was empty. We weren't the only ones who were robbed in that lot, there was at least one other car that was broken into according to the hotel staff. The police seem to think it was a drug addicts looking for items to sell for drugs and that it is not a coincidence that it was during a Raptors game. The lot has no cameras due to construction being done, so for those in Toronto who frequent Leafs or Raptors games do not park there, it's a cheap alternative but not worth the risk.

I backed up my iPod touch (2nd Gen) and I want to put that onto my iPod Nano(6th Gen).
Info:
iPod touch (2nd generation), Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Just upgraded to the iPhone OS 3.0 on my 1st gen iPod Touch and when I turn the volume up whilst it's in the iPod Hi-Fi, the volume dips when I've finished turning it up... When I push the volume up again the volume slider on the iPod touch then moves down to where it dipped.it's quite hard to explain! Basically, when I turn the volume up to 50%, the sound dips to 25%.... the slider still shows 50% until I press the volume up button and it would move the slider to 25%. (If I wanted to play my music at 50% I would have to turn it up to 75% and wait for it to dip to 50%!)I have reset the iPod touch and restored it but the problem still exists. OS 1.0 and 2.0 didn't have this problem. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a solution?

Now i have it back i plugged it into my pc and my itunes couldnt pick it up and neither can mycomputer. I left it plugged in and restarted my pc when it booted up i opened itunes and it was sort of froze, after leaving it for a minute or two my ipod cam e up on itunes but it said it was corrupt.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI was listening a video on my MBP and everything was working fine. I then put my headphones away when I decided to listen to something else so I was what the heck I will just use the speakers but it seems as if they are turned off or something. I keep trying to put the volume up and down and it just comes up with the speaker picture with a circle and line through it. I looked up at the volume in the bar and it is grayed out at fun volume. When I plug in my headphones, the volume turns black again and allows for adjustment.
Did I accidentally turn off my speakers? How do I turn them back on or fix this? They were working totally fine earlier today but now they are not.
