Is there any ways to stop Quicktime player from occupying audio hardware?

Hi, my PC system is Window XP Pro SP2, HP xw8400 Workstation w/ 2G Ram. And the PC has a Digidesign Pro Tools HD 1 audio system installed.
My problem is that after Quicktime player lauches, it will occupy the Pro Tools HD's hardware. And if I want to start Pro Tools software, "digidesign hardware is in use by another application." warning will occur and Pro Tools software will then quit. BTW, Digidesign's audio driver is not multi-clients compatible.
I have set Quicktime player's audio playback device to PC motherboard's audio device, and system's audio device is also motherboard's audio device, I even have checked the "use default device only" option. I can't understand why Quicktime player still occupies Digidesign's hardware, even it plays back audio through motherboard's audio device.
Though I can quite Quicktime player before lauching Pro Tools software, I still feel it's annoying and inconvenient, and want to know some ways to solve this problem.
Anyone can help? Thanks in advance. I have asked for help in Digidesign's offcial forum, no response.
BTW, the Quicktime player version on my system is 7.6.5, and each time Quicktime player launches, the sample rate led on the Digidesign's audio interface will flash, indicating that QT player is accessing Digidesign's hardware.

I have a Blue Ant Q2 Bluetooth headset. When it's paired, is there any way to stop all audio from streaming to it? I want to hear the iPad "ring" so I don't have to have the earpiece in my ear all day, or be able to play audio through the speakers instead of the earpiece. I feel like I'm missing something simple.
You are missing something simple but lets get it to stop as you want. Go to Settings/General/Bluetooth turn it off.

    you can't reverse the process, once you accepted there is no other way, if you sync it to your itunes library in your computer it will automatically update the updated app as well.
    What you can try though is delete the app from your iPad and try syncing it to your itunes library but if you set up iCloud it may update the app automatically

  • On my iPad 3 is there any way to stop the pictures from flipping 180 when saved?

    When I take pictures with my iPad, when the pictures save they always flip to the opposite side. Like a mirror image. I am wondering if there was anything I can do to fix this as it is extremely annoying!

    Yes the calendar is gone. I guess it is the notification center I am referring to that comes down when I accidently swipe the top of the screen. Is there a way to stop of notification center from coming down if you swipe the screen? I figured out how to stop the control center from coming up if you swipe the bottom on the screen. Now I just need to figure out how to stop the top of the screen from doing the same thing

  • Is there any way to stop the top from scrolling left in the iTunes store?

    The top part of the iTunes store...where it lists new stuff keeps swiping left.  It's driving me crazy!  How can I stop it?

    You can't . It is used as a carousel to display new items. If it annoys you then scroll down the window until it dissapears and you will have a static displays of new Music, Movies etc

    Whenever I boot my MPB up, a terminal window opens. It isn't really causing problems, just annoying. Is there any way to stop these windows from popping up?

    Open Accounts preferences, click on the Login Items tab. If you see the Terminal listed then select it and click on the Delete [-] button.

    Usual cause: printing at the wrong aspect ratio for the image - trying to print 5 x 3 in the shape of a 6 x 4 for instance.

  • Is there any way to stop details showing up in reminders?

    Is there any way to stop details showing up in reminders? Before a recent ios update, you had to click on the reminder to show details. Now the details show up in reminders automatically which has made my task list unmanageable - I often create tasks from emails I get in my business Microsoft Outlook/Exchange account.
    Before the update, the reminder list worked really well. I got a nice neat list and could click into individual reminders for all the details if I needed them.
    Now I don't get a nice neat list - but all the content of my emails in my reminder list.
    There doesn't seem to be any way to change the settings so the reminder doesn't include all the details.
    Has anyone else found this a problem? Help!

    Here are another couple standalone utilities, that I haven't tested, myself:

    Hi Sujatha vijay,
    It sounds as if your Apple TV is in Conference Room Display mode. You will need to turn this off. See this article -

  • Is there any way to stop the delay between different sets of speakers when using airport express?

    Is there any way to stop the delay between different sets of speakers when using airport express?

    Unfortunately, I don't have either a Slingbox or iHome speakers so I won't be able to reproduce any of the issues you are having. With the fact that you live in large apartment complex would still lead me to believe that Wi-Fi interference may be the reason that you are having streaming issues.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

    I am recieving my brothers messages on my MacBook, we share an itunes account and an icloud account is there any way to stop his messages and add my own?

    Don't share the same ID for iMessage (you can still share the same ID for other things if you want).  On your iOS device, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Then on your Mac, open the Messages app and go to Messages>Preferences>General, select your iMessage account, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

  • Is there a way of stopping the battery from charging?

    Dear Apple Community,
    Recently I installed iStat Menus and found that, over the course of this year, my Macbook's charging capacity has dropped 5%. I know this isn't a massive number, but battery performance has become a concern for me. I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, on the main. It's sitting on a mStand, connected to a large monitor on my desk. I use my Macbook to play games, surf the internet, do work and all that good stuff - basically, I use it for everything. I rarely use the Macbook without it being plugged in. I read on the Apple website that they do not recommend leaving the Macbook on charge permanently and that I should use it on battery at least one a month. As I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, I don't actually have a lot of opportunity to do this.
    My question to you, the community, is: is there a way of stopping the battery from charging, either with the use of an app or a physical device? Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
    On the other hand, am I just worrying about nothing? Will my battery be damaged further if I leave the Macbook charging permanently?
    Thanks for your help!
    Jeremy Reid

    Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
    The charging characteristics are handled in firmware.  There is no app that would be able to do this.  You actually would not want to do this anyway.  Regularly discharging your battery to 10% will greatly decrease the life of your battery.  While it is true that you should not use your system exclusively plugged in, allowing it to run on battery a few hours a week should be fine.  Letting the battery regularly run down to (or below) 10% will cause you to use up cycles more quickly than is necessary (thereby reducing the life of your battery).  It's really a only a matter of disconnecting your Magsafe connector once in a while.
    Leaving it plugged in does not result in it being charged "permanently".  It will charge until it is full and then charging will stop.  It will only begin recharging when it reaches about 95%.

  • Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start

    Just a random question. Whenever my MacBook Pro starts up (either from sleep or a complete/fresh start, the OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present. While this may be normal behavior, it seems to slow down the start up process. (I rarely ever have a disc in the drive). Just curious if this, in fact, normal, or if there's something awry.

    No
    he OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present.
    How can you tell? Based on the noise it makes?
