Plantronics .Audio 510 USB not detected in Leopard

Hi guys and gals
I just updated my OS X from 10.4.9 to 10.5.1, and now I've got a bit of a problem with my Plantronics .Audio 510 USB headset. In 10.4, it would be detected automatically and work just dandy, but in 10.5, no such luck. It will not even show up in Sound in the Pref Panel. I've checked that the USB headset is receiving power, and it is. The mute button works and lights up, and the volume buttons affect OS X. The volume is turned up or down when I press them, but for the built-in speakers only.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
I've just bought the .Audio 510 USB myself. My system sees the headset but only as an "Unkown USB Audio Device". I can get it working, but I need to manually go in and select it in my systems settings and Skype preferences each time I plug it in.
I also use NiceCast streaming software and it's the same deal with that. How are you guys getting on with it. Have you had any success since you last posted?

  • DVD-Audio and "can not detect sound blaster card" with Audigy2 Va

    I recently purchased an "Audigy2 Value" card from an eBay user, because I recently purchased some DVD-Audio discs. I downloaded the Audigy2 drivers from the website, and the Creative MediaSource player. 5. Surround sound worked fine for me, though sometimes the driver would reset to the default 2/2. sound and I would have to re-select 5. sound, which was annoying.
    Then I was completely unable to get the MediaSource player to recognise my DVD-Audio discs, and the EAX functionality of the player would never work. The EAX logo never appeared in the player. When I tried installing the MediaSource player from an install disc, I got the message "can not detect sound blaster card". Then I discovered the world of EEPROM problems.
    I followed advice from some other threads, including using ScanPCI to get information on the card, which yielded the following result.
    When installed on my machine (Asus A7A266 motherboard) the ScanPCI reads:

    (Just a note: above you can clearly see that it does not say I have an Audigy, it thinks it is a SBLi've. Is this normal? The card IS an Audigy 2, it says so on the card.)
    So, I put the card back on my own PC, thinking this has fixed my EEPROM, but I get the same as before. Subsystem ID 0002h. And of course the install software will not detect the card.
    I realise that I could go back to using the web drivers, but this still leaves me with MediaSource not recognising the card and not enabling DVD-Audio or EAX, which is why I bought the card in the first place!
    I have heard that the VIA chipset is possibly to blame for the EEPROM problems on the Audigy cards, and certainly it seems like it is not permanent, since it gave different information on the other PC. So now I am seriously considering getting a new motherboard.
    Do other motherboards cause this same problem? I don't want to buy another board and get the same trouble. All I want is to be able to install my MediaSource and have it recognise my card so I can listen to my DVD-Audio discs.
    Cheers,
    Russ.

    Figured out my problem. Installing the drivers from the web to begin with was a bad idea. They just did not work properly with the card.
    The "card not found" problem has gone as well, after installing it in another PC. I am also using the proper install disc now, as the other one I was using turned out to not be for the Audigy 2 value after all, but was an Audigy 2 install disc. That easily explains the "Card not found" error. The differing results from the ScanPCI program are still bizarre, though.
    Thanks to all of the people on the forum who posted information in other threads to help me deal with this issue. For now I am sticking with the original drivers from the disc and I am not upgrading.

  • Usb not detected in windows 8.1

    Hi,

    Hey @varun_viswanath ,
    Welcome back to the HP Forums!
    I see your USB is not being detected by your Omni 10 tablet.
    Can you tell me which drive you are connecting (make, model, and size please) and which OTG cable you are using for this?
    It would also help to know which Omni 10 tablet you have. You can see here for how to find the model: Locating the HP Omni 10 Tablet model number.

  • Usb not detected on post

    Does anyone have this problem whereby your usb devices are not detected by the system during post? the only way to get it recognized is by quickly unplugging and plugging back in when the reset button is pressed.

    For full support you will need to update anyway, so might want to start there.
    Make sure to re-install all of the intel drivers when you are done.
    Edit: They just released a new full release so that is probably your best bet.

  • LAN card and USB not detected (KM4M-V)

     
    I just formatted my PC yesterday, installing Win XP SP2. But the intergrated LAN card and USB is not detected in device manager. I tried HELP but cannot solve the problem.
    I am a little confused. After formatting and installing Windows, the hardwares who don't have driver will be having a question mark icon in the device manager. But for my computer, no USB or LAN card is written in the device manager. How can that be?
    I had checked my BIOS and nothing indicated to change the USB or the LAN card.
    Where did i go wrong? I am using a MSI KM4M-V motherboard.
    Anyone can help? Thanks.

    I installed a M-Audio Pre USb on my new Mac X 10.4.7. I went on the M-Audio site to update drivers, but it still does not show on my track monitoring. I finally got the MAc to utilize the Pre-USB as the default sound device, but does not show up in my garage band. I can hear it, but no signal. When I switch back to the internal microphone, it works fine, but can't get my garage band to pick up sound going tthrough my pre-usb???

  • USB Audio Device sometimes not detected. udev, maybe?

    I am using an external usb audio device which I usually keep plugged into my machine.  I am finding that this device is sometimes not being detected when I boot the computer.
    When this happens, issuing the following command:
    $ aplay -L
    does not list this particular device.  Plugging and unplugging the device does not seem to help.
    What does seem to resolve the problem is unloading and then reloading the snd_sub_audio kernel module.  This is done by issuing the following commands:
    # rmmod snd_usb_audio
    # modprobe snd_usb_audio
    Could anyone give some insight as to why the usb audio device isn't being detected and why this only happen occasionally?  Could this be a udev issue?  The device in question is an M-Audio Fast Track Pro.

    Has anyone else managed to get a similar disk running ok under Leopard? I've opened a ticket with LaCie support but thought I'd throw this open to a wider audience. I'll post any feedback I get from LaCie that leads to a positive result.

    OK, I'm getting desparate here, and the only way to start a new thread is to reply to a previous thread I have (Apple, please fix the forums! No searching currently either!)
    I have a Lacie drive that died on me - not showing up on the network, and making odd clicking noises. As a last ditch attempt I bought an external USB drive enclosure and took the HD out of the Lacie enclosure. Miraculously, the drive spins up much better and without any noise. I see the drive and all it's partitions in Disk Utility however none would mount. From what I've read, Lacie has an embedded Linux OS, so the partitions are formatted that way.

  • USB not detected

    I recently brought a mac mini. First thing i did was update all the software, most importantly OSX to 10.5.1. I inserted a usb jump drive to transfer some file then properly ejected it. Now none of the usb ports work. I tried different devices; mouse, keyboard, external hard drive,... Tried rebooting. Nothing worked.
    Then i tried resetting the PRAM (CMDOPT+PR). It detected my external drive. But after I eject it, the usb ports stop working. Is it a hardware or software issue? It only happen with the usb ports, my firewire works fine. PLEASE HELP

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    ...but I didn't think they would fail so quickly, and with so little attached to them!!!
    The load created by a WD Passport drive I've used in my office has been sufficient to cause a number of IBM and Dell laptops to suffer failed USB connectivity, so I would not be surprised to see the same sort of issue with a Mac mini. Indeed, the documentation supplied with the drive warned that is should be used with its own power supply (sold separately of course) whenever possible.
    The mini conforms to USB standards, including voltage and current available on the bus to power external devices. However, not all devices conform to the standard in terms of load they exert.
    Have you tried the SMC reset procedure as described below? If not, then I would suggest you try it. If it does not help resolve this, contact Apple regarding the USB outage since it is clearly within warranty!
    a major design fault!
    Based on the number of reports of USB failures, it would seem not to be.
    To reset the SMC on an Intel mini:
    -From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
    -Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
    -Wait at least 15 seconds.
    -Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time.
    -Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
    -Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.

  • Q10 USB not detected in Link or Blend

    Q10 SQN100-3 Rogers
    OS 10.3.1.1.1581
    Link 1.2.4.27
    Connects wirelessly by default when Link first installed.  Blackberry Device manager shows Y and Z drives.
    When wireless connections turned off in Link or turned off at device and USB connected:
    Windows alerts that device has been connected.
    Windows Device manager shows Blackberry device as well as Network Adapter Blackberry Device, Blackberry Tethering Device, Blackberry Virtual Private Network.
    Blackberry Device Manager does NOT show any devices
    Device shows USB connected
    There are no firewall restrictions
    There is no problem with the USB connection or port
    USB connection on device set to manual IP address but that has no effect on Link
    Rogers Tech Support verbally says that it is a known issue that BB is working on but nothing on any forum says that including this one.
    Is this a known issue that is being worked on?

    I finally got it working:
    - I completely shutdown my Blackberry Q5 terminal and unplugged it from USB.
    - In the Windows Device manager, I can see the Blackberry Virtual Private Network in the Network adapter group, which is correct. But the Blackberry Terminal was not listed.
    - So I connect the USB back in my Blackberry Q5 device and turned it on with the switch on the top.
    - From there, Windows detected the terminal and installed the Blackberry Terminal drivers (automatically supplied with the BB Link software)
    - And Link started automatically saying that the BB is connected properly through USB.
    - When I turn on the USB mass storage, it works as well (and disconnect from Link at the same time), so  I have to turn off USB mass storage in the BB Q5 settings to make it connect back to Link through the USB cable.

  • N81 USB not detected

    Hi all,
    I own an N81 8GB model. I brought it 2 weeks back. I usually connect my Linux computer and my mobile using the accompanied USB cable. It was working fine and I was able to transfer files successfully. Recently my phone is not getting recognized by my system on plugging in the USB. I am not getting the mobile alert asking what type of transfer should the mobile activate. Previously once when I had this issue I did a couple of restarts (mobile) and luckily it worked at that time. But now it is not. I even restarted my computer but of no use. Please help me. Without the USB transfer the 8GB would be a waste. Thanks

    I had the same problem: I plugged the phone in my laptop's USB port -- and nothing no "ding dong" absolutely nothing! I tried plugging the phone to Linux box and no dmesg output here either.
    I thought I broke the cable or the connector, and got a new one -- but nothing. It was driving me bonkers. Sometimes, I wish I would have gotten the iPhone instead -- seriously!
    I discovered the "solution" for this problem by accident.
    Ok, here we go:
    1. Set a "quick alarm" in your clock application (i.e. two or three minutes past the current time).
    2. Turn the phone off.
    3. The phone will power up and your alarm will sound. Switch it off and the phone will ask you if you want to use the phone. Choose "Yes" here.
    4. Boom, magically your phone will be recognized again when you plug it to your USB port and the N81 will ask you to choose the transmission mode.
    5. You're done.
    Don't ask me what happens in the phone when the alarm goes off, and how it got in that "non detect mode" in the first place but this is how I fix mine now. As an explaination how it might have gotten in that "non detect mode" the only thing I can think of, and this is pure speculation, is that I might have had the phone connected to the USB port while the Laptop was doing a reboot. In the boot sequence a USB device was recognized, and the PC tried to boot from it and this might be what screwed the phone up.
    Anyways, good luck everyone.

  • Plantronics Audio 648 USB headset

    I very recently bought the above headset and it has been working fine till now. The microphone is working but the headphones are not. I have read somewhere on the Skype site that the call control buttons on the cable leading to the headset will not work due to an alteration in the Skype software but the headphones should still work....but they are not and although the headset is listed in  audiosettings/advanced options/speakers I cannot get the software to accept them as having priority to my Realtek speakers built into my laptop.
    Any suggestions please? The headphones must be capable of working not least because the Skype shop is still selling them
    Peter

    Try installing your USB headset directly to a port on your computer preferably one that you have never used before with this headset. You also have the option of disabling your onboard speakers in Windows just to see if it will work. Though it's generally less of an issue with USB than 3.5mm headsets, try installing the latest (v2.71 04/2013) generic Realtek "High Definition Audio Codecs" drivers to see if it changes things. They are available at the link below:
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
    Installing the drivers is generally a two-stage procedure. On it's own it will uninstall your existing drivers, prompt you to reboot, then it will install the latest release after the reboot. You would probably want to reboot one more time afterward.
    Doing these things (USB port change/driver update) should update your current configuration in Skype. So hopefully you will get different results.
