Speakers for iMac via USB Dongle

So, I bought a USB 3.5 mm dongle so that I could connect the external Boston CR6 speakers to my iMac. I get sound but it is pretty low. The volume level is the same if I plug the 3.5 mm plug into the hole in the back of the iMac.

I think it is a difference of impedance, or the iMac does not have enough juice to power the speakers (which are actually very small).

Is there anyone driving experience of the external speakers, via USB or directly via the 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm port? I will order a small amp if that's the problem?

Maybe audio HDMI or optical has more power? I don't see a spec (which I understand).

10.11.6 running.

Thank you.

FWIW, most if not all sound cards were never intended to push the non-powered speakers. That's why most of the 'computer' speakers are powered. You will need amplification of some sort.

  • DCR-TRV260 NTSC via USB for Windows XP Home edition home

    Hello!

    I'm trying to help a friend to connect its DCR-TRV260 NTSC to his computer HP Vectra VL420 (Yes, a very old machine).
    The computer is HP P/n: PS660AV #246, with a processor Pentium 4 (Willamette) of 478mPGA socket @1. 70 GHz, installed on a HP
    card system with an Intel i845 NB A05 and and Intel 82801 SB, the latter is, I suspect, the culprit.
    We lack a clean new install of Windows XP Edition family with Service Pack 3, with 384 MB of PC133 SDRAM.
    I know it's something Museum but hey, it works and it can not even buy a more recent machine.

    The problem: I can't do the camera be considered a via USB removable storage device, in order to download still images on the computer, he recorded on tape, not a stick of memory, there no card IEEE1394 and no budget to buy a.
    I installed the software included in his CD that comes with the camera, and I can work
    streaming USB tool and watch motion pictures and still images through it, but I can not D/L to the computer.
    I removed all the foregoing, as well as all instances of the camera Device Manager, then set up PMB56_installer1108a, to my dismay, because he wants to only use IEEE1394 (I understand why, but it should offer the USB option).

    How we manage to always download these images, recorded on tape, on his computer?
    I suspect the Intel 82801 SB is at fault, because even if it does not detect the camera and every time I plug it, Device Manager
    updated to reflect the three instances related to the camera, the Sony imaging device, digital video USB Composite and Audio USB
    Device, it cannot be seen as a removable storage device.

    Of course, I read the manual for the camera and the computer application s/w, but I can't find anything related, none of the people
    two elements indicate how do what my friend waiting!

    I read all the messages mentioning USB as a search term, and the question is: is WXP just incapable of such a feat?

    Help, please.

    Hello!
    After all this time, I discovered the answer to watch me on page 25 of the PDF manual camera operations.
    They are not always photos within the meaning of the word "cybershot", they are
    still images recorded with sound, then it's just a frozen video image recording with
    seven seconds of audio.

    Now we have captured it with Windows Movie Maker and export it somehow to jpg still images.

    Thanks anyway!

  • OfficeJet 6500 E710n-z: where to locate X 86 Drivers for Win 7 to print Via USB system connected to the network using Win 8.1

    Since my computer can only connect to a printer wireless via USB, other computers on the network cannot connect to the printer.  The possibility of allowing other printers using the main system of sharing, I need the x 86 driver but cannot locate it on the HP support.

    Seems there are a lot of problems installing with HP systems, I would hope that society can give a high priority to these issues.  Many of us love quality HP but wireless connectivity is frustrating.

    In a humorous way, please remove the "cannot find the printer - make sure that the printer is plugged in and turned on."  statement.  Our children know how to set up a network, so that the statement is hilarious, until you see for the 20th time as possible motive to the wireless printer is not found on the network.

    Hello
    My post seemed to have grown to a case manager who was willing to put up a time for the members of technical support to contact me.  By the way, she asked about the distance, the printer from the router, which, by other reviewers, should be placed next to the printer, and she asked for me to try to move the router to about 18 inches from the printer so that it would be responsible for coordinating the call of support following our conversation.

    I did it and all network issues related to wireless access by the entire Office has been resolved and performing network and each station can print and scan in a few minutes, following a job application.  Printing took about 20 minutes to start and sweep was impossible until this Council been offered.

    Many congratulations to Yvonne!  And, I thank you for following up on this post.  I am a very satisfied customer again once my application has been met with personal concern for the issue and an appropriate resolution and FANTASTIC found!

    Thank you once again,

  • Looking for products with specific needs: USB dongle to create WiFi + send traffic through SOCKS proxy

    Hello

    I need a product for a specific use, and it is not easy to obtain the necessary information with the data I found on the web. So I was wondering if anyone knows a Linksys product that fits the need.

    I am looking for a USB dongle to connect to a Windows PC. This USB dongle should * create * a WiFi network and an iPhone would connect to the WiFi LAN. The PC would then play the role of a gateway, that she would share his Internet Ethernet RJ45 connection with the devices connected to created WiFi. In addition, all the WiFi LAN traffic should be sent to a given SOCKS (v5) Proxy (which is actually on localhost).

    You know a product + utility that meets these requirements?

    Thank you in advance!
    Kind regards
    Stone

    This is not actually a function of the adapter wireless and more attached to the PC operating system.

    If you are running a Windows PC is easy. Given that existed in Windows XP Internet connection sharing. It simply comes down to enable Internet sharing on the LAN adapter and assigning the host adapter wireless network connection. Then, you will need to add a wireless Ad - Hoc for your devices in the customer network to connect too. I guess that the wireless adapter must support wireless Ad - Hoc networks, but I think they all do.

    Linux\Mac have similar support sharing Internet.

    There is also software available that you can install to create a hotspot Wi - Fi with your PC.

  • Is blackBerry smartphones possible to download photos from the BlackBerry Pearl for a Mac laptop via USB?

    Hi, I have a MacBook and a BlackBerry Pearl 8100.  I have e-mail capabilities on my BlackBerry, but not the internet connection.  I have 182 photos on my BlackBerry I would add to my library in iPhoto on my Mac, but would prefer really do not have to send myself one at a time.  I have the "PocketMac for BlackBerry" app on my computer to sync my address book, etc., using a USB connection, but cannot find a way to download the photos by using this method.

    Does anyone know how to get these photos on my Mac in a relatively easy way?  Without the ability to download via USB, can someone tell me how to select multiple photos to send in an email?

    Thank you!

    Yes, I remember that Rogers has a single plan by e-mail.

  • Configure Passthrough in ESXi host for USB Dongle?

    Hello

    You have to connect a USB dongle to a virtual machine specific.

    On the web, we find that we can plug the dongle to 5 ESXi host.  For this particular virtual machine, add USB controller and then add the USB device.

    We wonder if we were to "Configure Passthrough" in "Advanced settings" of the ESXi host?  If so, is there an easy way for us to identify the particular USB port used?

    Thank you

    Post edited by: TonyJK

    Hello

    If you want to only connect the USB dongle to a virtual machine, add a USB controller to the virtual computer is simpler. Once you have added a USB controller, turn on the virtual machine. Plug the dongle on the ESXi host. Open the page change the setting of this virtual machine, add a USB device and you should be able to find the dongle in the list. Save the settings and your virtual machine can now access the dongle.

  • support for USB dongle

    It is my understanding that ESX 4 supports the usb of the virtual machine. I also understand that VMotion does not support virtual machines that use the usb dongles. I plugged a USB stick in the host ESX 4, but I don't see where I need to configure the virtual machine to use the usb dongle. Can you please point in the direction of the documentation or tell me what configurations changes needed to make the visible usb dongle (s) to the virtual machine?

    Graceful,.

    ESX does not support USB transfer, as in VMware Workstation etc. If you need to access USB dongles and also need to vMotion, you can watch the solution USB Anywhere of Digi (http://www.digi.com/products/usb/anywhereusb.jsp). It allows you to access USB devices over TCP/IP network. Works with most Windows systems.

  • Tab 2 A10 - 70F: Internet access via USB connected 3G / 4G device?

    Hello

    The A10 - 70F Tab2 has WiFi only. Is it possible to connect to the internet with a connected USB 3G / 4G? With other words: the tab can handle? Anyone with experience?

    Thank you in advance,

    Michael

    Yes is the short answer. And a few ways to do this:

    1 micro USB Dongle of 3 / 4 g

    2. micro USB to USB 'female' - then plug a 3 / 4 g USB Dongle

    And a couple of less obvious ways:

    1 WiFi connection to another mobile and use of mobile data of quotas (although plans only works on some data)

    2 micro USB to Micro USB and connect a mobile as shown above (does not work on all devices, although I look at the phone and tablet to fight for the battery juice is hilarious)

    3. connected to a PC via the cable USB/WiFi connection internet PC use.

    But yes, 3 / 4g Dongles work indeed & the Tablet seems to walk along very well with a micro USB version or a USB version with an adapter cable.
