Re: Connecting PC to speakers
Hello try hooking the speakers up to the head phone jack instead of the microphone jack, and hopefully that should take care of the problem. hope this helps Hank On 9/14/2016 8:28 PM, Adrian Spratt wrote: Hi. I can't get my PC to send sound to my stereo system's speakers. Let me explain. You'll soon see that I'm less than an amateur at this. The default speakers on my PC are MM1s. As many of you know, they don't rely on any on-board soundcard. Eight years ago, my PC was also connected by wire to my stereo system, in another part of the room. My PC has since been replaced, and that connection to the stereo was lost. For better or worse, the guy who installed the stereo ran the wire behind the wall, up over the ceiling and down to the back of the stereo. (My apartment was being completely renovated at the time.) As far as I can tell, that wire hooked into my Pc's microphone jack. I can confirm that there's a wire that comes out of the baseboard that does seem to correspond to the microphone jack. It is now plugged in to that jack. However, I still can't get the stereo to play. As I said, the MM1s are my default and I want them to stay that way. I've tried to configure the on-board soundcard to work with my stereo speakers, but without success. That's the best I can do to explain the problem. Can anyone suggest a solution or tell me where I've gone wrong? Thanks.
RE: Connecting External FM Antenna To Tuner
If it looks like a slightly larger version of an RCA plug then it's possibly a PL259 connector that was used on antenna cables. Older versions of the plug have the rounded part looking like the ribs of an umbrella. If it is a PL259 connector then you will probably need someone who is handy with a soldering iron to attach the new connector.

It is one of those press on connectors that goes on the end of rg 59 cable. They also will work with type F connectors. The plug part will work with a F connector which is threaded.

Re: connecting a deJay turntable to a computer?
Ah! I suspect your mixer had dedicated turntable connections right? If that's the case then the mixer most likely had a dedicated fono stage for the turntable connections. Of course the easy way would be to connect the turntable to the mixer if you still have it, saves you buying an extra fono amplifier. In my case everything is in a system, that is to say the computer takes the place of a tape deck connected to the Amplifier thus what I select on the amp is what is recorded, select tape and I hear the computer through the amplifier, you know how it goes.

Re: connecting?
Hello Curtis, The answer to that question on both accounts, is no. Here is the reason why. Your USB headphone microphone combo is using a digital to analog converter. I done some explaining a while back on this list to a gentleman that wanted to hook his stereo amp up to his computer. But in order for that to work, you will need a digital to analog converter that uses some kind of USB inter face. But as far as switching that to strait analog to use with a Victor Stream, You would have to work it the other way around. Instead of being digital to analog, you would have to go analog to digital. As far as I know of, nobody has come up with a unit that will do that. Hope this helps. My best regards.

Just about everything that I know about electronics, I learned the hard way. Now to answer your question, yes you can run the headphone jack to an audio mixer. But even with that, you will still get amplifier noise. The mixer itself, is as the headphone jack except way quieter. You have 75 to 90 DB less of a noise floor then what you have with the headphone jack on your portable stereo. Inside your portable stereo, your headphone jack is intercepting your loud speakers. When you plug in a pare of headphones, there is a switch that turns the loud speakers off. When that happens, the power that once went to your loud speakers, is now going to your headphones. All depending on how high the wattage is, say 5 watts per channel. There are a pare of 1 watt resisters hooked up in series between the amplifier and your headphones. They are there for 2 reasons. #1 So that the loudness doesn't damage your hearing. #2. And so that the power from the amplifier doesn't blow out the voice coils in your headphones. When you unplug the headphones, that switch turns your loud speakers back on. That is how it works! However, those resisters don't and won't keep amplifier noise from passing from the headphone jack to your sound card and or any preamplifier you plug it in too. Long story short, you will still get the amplifier noise either way. I hope this info helps you all a whole bunch. My best regards.

RE: connecting my portable stereo to my computerusingtheauxiliaryjacks?
absolutely it can... as a child when I had a tv with headphone jack, I ran into my cheap first stereo via that jack... it's just a matter of tweeking the volume control to avoid hiss noise from being too low or annoying distortion from volume being too loud. type of quality cable is probably most important under this circumstance. About a year ago, I had a 3.5 mm mini single male on one end and 2 rca tips on other end, which I ran from my MP3 player or portable cassette deck into my home theater/HIFI - later using that same cord to run from my PC to the stereo.

Re: connecting my portable stereo to my computer usingtheauxiliaryjacks?
The problem you wil run into running a line from your headphone jack is overdriving your sound card causing distortion. the other problem that usually arises is that you can sometimes get hum from the headphone jack. ** On the other hand, you have different fingers robert Doc Wright http://www.wrightplaceinc.net msn [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Randy Tijerina [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, January 07, 2008 10:29 PM Subject: Re: connecting my portable stereo to my computer usingtheauxiliaryjacks? can i do that for recording somehting off of one of my records? or can i connect a cable to the headphone jack of the crosley.

Re: connecting my portable stereo to my computer using the auxiliaryjacks?
Auxillery jacks are input only. they are there in case you wish to run something like a second tape deck or cd player through the system. You could for instance run a line from your speaker out on your computer to the auxillery and hav the audio from the computer go through the stereo. ** On the other hand, you have different fingers robert Doc Wright http://www.wrightplaceinc.net msn [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Randy Tijerina [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.

Re: connecting my portable stereo to my computer using the auxiliaryjacks?
High Randy, First, find out how those jacks are labeled. If they're line out, then you can hook that in to your sound card. But if they're line in, then it is just like Dock said. You can go the rout of using your headphone jack, but it wouldn't work to well for you. You will be able to record the music to your computer, but right along with that, you will get amplifier noise. Long story short, you will get a grate deal of distortion. My best wishes to you. John. - Original Message - From: Randy Tijerina [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.

Re: CONNECTING IRIVER H320 TO THE COMPUTER
Hi Michael, I'm glad to say the problem was solved for me on this list. It was just a case of pressing the play button twice. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any reference to this in the quick-start guide. Now I've got to somehow learn to use my H320. Yesterday, I finished scanning the manual but I don't think it is a very good scan so there are obviously going to be problems. Someone on the list suggested a suck it and see approach by simply pressing buttons to see what happened. Well, I think that method could easily trigger unwanted problems such as unknowingly formatting the hard drive. Many thanks for your interest.

RE: CONNECTING IRIVER H320 TO THE COMPUTER
Hi Robert The manual is available in pdf format from the net. A sighted person helped me to download it as I could not access the iriver.com website. I can send you the .txt version privately as this list does not allow attachments. The pdf version is about 20 mb but the text one not even 1 mb. Please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] And I will see what can be done. Will be away from the computer at a conference in the next two hours and will return on Sunday evening.

Re: connecting to a sound card
is it possible that you are using a receiver where the tape output is designed to be used as a monitor such that what comes out is then run back through the receiver? If so, turn off the monitor function and it should work well. The tape should still output to the computer without the feedback going back to the receiver. Just a possibility.

Re: CONNECTING A MIXER TO THE COMPUTER -- DO I NEED A PREAMP??
Hi, It's my understanding, that a mixer, is a pre-amp, or has one in it. I use one all the time to record vinyl records to my computer, I'm suggesting that the problem, is not going from the mixer, to the computer with a patch cord. Possibly it might be, volumes, the line-in wasn't turned on, or something of this nature. hope this is of some help ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A pre-amp is not necessary when sending aline level signal from a mixer to a sound card.

Re: CONNECTING A MIXER TO THE COMPUTER -- DO I NEED A PREAMP??
If your church has some serious sound reinforcing equipment, like Peavy, Soundcraft, Tascam, or Sun, your friend had better be extremely careful how he goes about getting his sound signal. Mixing boards like the aforementioned don't have line level outputs anywhere on them. More like 10 dbv nominal. Peak voltages from those mixing board outputs can cook a computer sound card quick as a wink. Best, Lou Novath - Original Message - From: Bobcat [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.

A pre-amp would be handy. If the mixer has a record section he should be able to use the record out to the line in on the computer's soundcard.

Re: CONNECTING A MIXER TO THE COMPUTER -- DO I NEED A PREAMP??
Hi there. Actually, no, you shouldn't need a preamp just for plugging a mixer into your sound card. I have one hooked into my PC with nothing extra to make it work. A couple of possibilities occur. For instance, was the mixer properly hooked up. A patch cord needs to go from the mixer's out jacks to your computer's in jacks. Also, line in needs to be checked on your sound card's configuration scheme. If, for instance, mike is checked, that could account for no sound. Finally, for everything to work, whatever is patched into the mixer has to be properly patched, with both the mixer's and computer's volume levels properly set.
