umm have you tryed moveing the volume to a medum level

Hi Michael. My wife bought a 20 foot cable (mini plug to 2 x RCA) to connect her September 2000 iMac DV+ to her stereo (as stated above; NOT the phono input). Plugging into the…

I have an iMac hooked up to my JVC receiver. At first I tried running the output to the phono plugs but got only a buzz. Switch to the tape plugs and it works fine. I now have …

I have my iMac's sound out connected to a small cable that splits to 2 RCAs, that connect to a 6 foot cable that goes to TAPE input of a Sony receiver. Then I have speaker wire tha…

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 …

Figure out how you're going to pay for it, if you haven't already http://smilecwm.tripod.com/big/biggrin.gif /e

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…

A local Mac-only dealer has a 22" Cinema Display on display. They were running DVDs and the 'Mission Impossible' trailer over and over. I was impressed by the brightness, not so …

Your video card or monitor might have gotten toasted...but before we say that we need some more details to help troubleshoot. What type of TV card is this? Does it plug into anyt…
