Q: sound in works, sound out not (for TV)

Hi all,

 

I have a mac pro 1.1 under lion (stone-age, but still running fast and smoothly by means of upgrading

memory, etc.). A few years ago I deciced to put my tv aside and watch television on my mac.

To make a long story short: the decoder of the tv-provider has te usual output possibilities, RCA,

digital in and out, scart, USB, HDMI. I use de RCA out (black and red) and this goes to a 3,5 jacket

input on the mac. Then I turn on television. Image ok, but no soun through my external louspeakers

(a set of basic speakers). When I check the inputchannel I can see the signal is actually coming in

because of the movements of the indicator. Same results with digital in and out.

Strange thing is, I`ve also Parallels installed with windows 7, and on that platform it is

working perfectly. It`s more a workaround then a solution though.

Music, systemsounds, no problem (nor lion nor windows) but there must be something

I seem to forget or cannot find on the mac level.

 

Anyone with an eureka mind ;-)

 

Thanks,

 

Erwin
