MacBook Audio

For my MacBook can I play audio through my AV receiver using a3.5mm to USB cable?

Can you give us a little bit more information about your hardware. If I am right you don't need a 3.5 mm to USB cable. It's more likely that you need either a 3.5 mm to RCA cable or a 3.5 to toss link cable if your receiver has optical inputs.

1. What Mac are you using (model, year, OS etc.)?
2. What receiver (make and model) ?

The receiver is an Onkyo TX-SR313
The MacBook is model id 4,1 using Mac OS X 10.6.8

The MacBook is an early 2008 model

Well, first forget about a USB cable unless you have a specific reason for trying that connection - what I do w/ my iPod music is to simply use a mini-stereo plug to R/L RCA adapter cable as shown below. Your receiver has AUX audio inputs on the front and an AUX control switch (see arrows on the pic of your unit). Dave

Thanks Dave. That's what I thought was needed.

@OP if you don't like having the wire sticking out of the front of the receiver there is probably a set on the rear that will work as well. Any of the input connections should work though I wouldn't use the Phono connections for it. Switch the selector on the front to whatever connection you use (vcr for example)

ThaNks for the suggestion, it worked fine.
