Hi,

I have been trying to make my G4 Ibook the client ( connected to the stereo ).
But I seem to have trouble with the sound coming out. I think it has to do with the driver
but I seem not to come able by any info to install ALSA drivers or make esound use core audio.

Any suggestions

thanks a lot, great post

Hi,
I do not know, how this is possible at the moment but you probably would not want that anyways. The delay of the network connected speakers is so high, that the sound would be noticably out of sync with the built-in speakers.

If you solve your problem, it would be nice, if you leave a comment here, how you did it for the next visitors to come.

Regards,
Rolf

I’d like to post a question here:

Suppose I want to pipe sound to BOTH esd AND a set of connected speakers (or the mac’s built-in speakers) at the same time? Any hints?

Hi Rolf,
Many thanks for the clear explanations: I got it to work, streaming sound from MackBookPro on Snow leopard (wireless) to an old iBook on Tiger, cabled up to a stereo and to the LAN.

A note on watching movies with this setup: as mentioned, there is a noticeable delay between image and sound (about 500ms on my setup). But this is actually very easy to fix if you use VLC player (http://www.videolan.org), as there is a setting called Audio desynchronization compensation. This is accessible in Preferences > Audio (visible when choosing the ALL option). This can also be set dynamically with keyboard shortcuts F & G (check the shortcuts on your system in Preferences > Hotkeys)..

On my setup, audio and video are perfectly in synch with an audio delay setting of -500ms.

@Daniel Peters
I have the same problem. I coud set up the backup in the network drive but now the time machine only shows “today” but not all the past backups.
Has anybody an idea in whicht direction to look for a solution?
Tks!

Ok I got my time machine backup done on my ubuntu machine, but when I tried to restore a file for testing, I could see all the files in time machine but it wouldn’t restore. This makes the whole idea useless. anything I possible could have missed?

Thankyou so much for posting this. Am creating the sparsebundle file at the moment and have high hopes. !t’s nice to see someone care enough not only to post a easy-to-follow solution (to what would otherwise be an impossible task for a newbie like me) but also provide feedback to those run into issues. You rock Rolf!
