THIS JUST IN: Smartboard Sound Issues

Those wanting to use your Smartboard with your MacBook, you may have to make a few sound and display adjustments.

Display:
If you want the projector to display the same thing on your MacBook screen:
1) System Preferences
a)Displays>Arrangement>Check Mirror Displays

If you want the projector to be used as a "different" screen than your MacBook:
1) This is the default setting when you plug an external display into the MacBook
2) Just drag the window you want to show on the Smartboard to the right of the screen on the MacBook.
a) You will see the window "moving" to the SmartBoard screen at this point.

Sound:
By default the sound will only play from the MacBook to change this follow these steps:
1) Connect the USB cable from the SmartBoard to the MacBook
2) System Preferences>Sound>Click the Output Tab>Select External USB Device>Adjust the output settings
3) Keep this option selected because once the SmartBoard is disconnected it will toggle back to the MacBook and vice-versa.
