I have a revision B iMac, and I still get a slight hum with the connection. I was told by some audio experts that the best way to hook it up would be with a sound card. Too bad for…

Slightly off topic, but my solution to this was to buy something called "Kima" from http://www.akoo.com. It broadcasts on a 900 mhz freq. from the sound out port of a mac to a re…

IMHO this is nearly always a problem of grounding, especially with a 60Hz hum. The tricky part is that a receiver is often not only grounded via AC in, but also via the tv/radio co…

Just wanted to give my 2 cents here. I have hooked my iMac up to my stereo via the audio output jack. It works fine. I use a 1/8" mini jack to rca (red and white) connectors. I …

Another thing is that 1/8" (3.5mm) plugs have high impedence, so the plug actually becomes electrically charged, causing buzz. Unplugging it and plugging it back in solves it. Bett…

I'm currently running out of a G4, an audio cable about 50 ft to my stereo downstairs. I've got it working with no hum, and I still have audio upstairs. How you ask? First the aud…

I have a Sony Walkman plugged into my beige G3. It works great. I have the radio plugged into a AC adaptor.. Not the greatest fidelity, but I just use it to listen to my college s…

"My Beige G3 is hooked up to an old receiver through the same mini-stereo jack, but the cable splits into two RCAplugs which I then plug into the back of the stereo." This is what…

Ok, here's what I found. 1. Putting both the receiver and Mac on the same outlet did nothing to eliminate the hum. Neither did shortening the cable from 15 ft. to 1 ft. 2. I foun…

you should try using a cable that has the shield only tied to the mac's ground connection and not to the stereo's RCA shields (but make sure the shield is continuous throughout the…

I've got a Dual 450. I wanna get the Retail Radeon card and plug S-video into my big screen TV that's hooked up with a Kenwood Dolby D. Would make for good parties. shoot, but s-…

You can't get Dolby 5.1 with normal CDs anway, unless you don't want the subwoofer. The 5.1 uses a seperate channel just for the subwoofer. If it doesn't send out the signal, it …

Niko: I would be very interested (and others may as well) in hearing about your impressions of your new Cinema Display. I've just posted my observations to this Forum under a topi…

I've had no problems with my Cinema Display. No bad or stuck pixels, mars on the screen or anything. The only two things that I've found even slight disapointment is: A) Most gam…

My cinema display is very very nice. I had not seen one in person erson before and was a little surprised to see how BIG it really is. No probems at all.

heh heh. cinema display. I haven't had a change to play with one myself, or see one in action personally, but what I did see of the cinema display was quite humorous. I'm current…
