y0itsj0hn Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Alright here's the deal-- I have a y-cable running from the headphone jack on my iMac, to my audio receiver. Half of the time, I like having the sound from my computer running to my audio system so I can listen to my music real loud. But, the other half of the time I don't want the sound running through my system and rocking my room. Right now, I just pop the audio cable in and out of the headphone jack when I want to change where the sound goes, but is there a way I can leave the cable plugged in at all times and just switch the output source from my comp? I've been searching and so far it doesn't seem like I can . If you can help i'll be really really psyched.

Not sure if it will work with the Y cable arrangement you may need to have separate cables but try Audio Switcher I use it every day for just this purpose you are doing. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33570 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/137109-switching-audio-output-on-imac/#findComment-970427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
