  • No Digital Output available in Playback devices (USB audio device)

    If one has USB audio device with coax/toslink out, with proper drivers (like ie TurtleBeach Micro Advantage) available & installed then Digital Output is available to select in Playback devices. (and one can play AC3/DTS to external amplifier with ie
    VLC or MPC-HT with AC3Filter DS filter)
    But some USB devices (ie Phonic Digitrack -
    http://www.phonic.com/en/digitrack.html ) do NOT come with drivers (as Windows has default build in). Digitrack uses TI
    Burr-Brown USB Audio Codec 2906 -
    http://www.ti.com/product/pcm2906
    Sadly these Windows drivers do NOT have a clue about what the device actually has as inputs/outputs
    So even it had coax digital out & the sound IS send via it, the actual data send is in right way, not recognized/played correctly by Digital Amplifier (AC3/DTS)
    Does anybody know of a hack to make Digital Out available?

    Hi,
    Generally speaking, An Audio Device do need more driver besides USB driver to make itself work properly. In terms of your situation, USB driver is not enough to make your Audio Device works properly.  I think S.Sengupta
    is right. Actually it would be better to contact Digitrack support to confirm its product compatibility with Windows 7.

  • No Sound Device/Playback Device --At the end of my rope

    First let me state that I've tried several methods to fix my problem already, and none appear to help or work, I've followed the advice given by several others, and I'm really not sure what I can do at this point. I even bought a new Soundcard thinking it would solve the problem...but it has not.
    If I were to go into Device Manager right now, Windows detects TWO Audio Devices:
    Soundblaster Xi-Fi Extreme Audio
    Vinyl AC '97 Codec Combo Driver (WDM)
    The latter I can easily disable in BIOS on Startup, but this does not help me one bit.
    I have checked my Sounds and Audio Devices:
    No Audio Device/No Playback Device/Sound Recording is Soundblaster/Midi is Creative SoundFont Synth/No Voice Playback/Voice Recording is Soundblaster.
    I have checked my Services (Local):
    Windows Audio Service is "Started" and set to Automatic?
    I have checked other media devices and get errors regarding "Direct Sound" or "Wave Out".
    Regarding the programs related to my drivers, I have tried to uninstall them and reinstall them in Safe Mode but this has not helped. In particular one of the programs VIA Audiodeck (related to my onboard audio) cannot seem to find certain files to uninstall itself, aside from the fact it couldn't run when I installed it in the first place. (In part I'm looking for a free program that can uninstall stuff that can't be uninstalled the usual way).
    Finally I've discovered I'm getting errors in trying to check for Windows Updates (even though I have Service Pack 3 now). Windows Automatic Updates says it's "On" but doesn't show up.
    I don't really know what the root of my problem is, as I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers several times (even attempted to?clean up the registry from leftover fragments). I've used programs like Belarc Advisor and Driver Scan but these don't tell me what to do or how to proceed. I'm at my wit's end here.

    I'm not sure what anyone here can do
    Nothing. These are user to user forums, of which Apple employees do not take part in.
    Does anyone know who I can EMAIL about this,
    Nobody...Apple does not offer email support/correspondence. Call support and ask immediately to speak to customer relations.

  • Loss of sound due to no playback devices following an system update.

    I have a Model #: 23-c055, Product #: H4A31AA#ABA.  My machine was updated over the weekend with an automatic update and now my playback devices for both video and audio are gone.  The selections within Device management are not available for selection to modify.  HELP!

    Nina, welcome to the forum.
    You should go into Control Panel / Sound and check to assure that your sound device is selected as the Default.  This is most likely what has changed.  Here is how to reset the default device:
    Instructions:
    1 Press the "Windows Key" and "R" keys simultaneously to load a Run box
    2 Type "mmsys.cpl" and click "OK." This loads Windows Sound and Audio.
    3 Click the "Sound" tab.
    4 Click the drop-down menu under "Sound Scheme" and select "Windows Default."
    5 Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.

  • Bluetooth headset pairs, but is not available as playback device

    Hi there
    I am trying to pair and use my MEElectronics Runaway bluetooth stereo headset (with microphone) with my Zbook. I am following the instructions at MEElectronics available here http://www.meelec.com/Articles.asp?ID=352#ytplayer
    I make the device discoverable and am able to pair the devices.
    I select the device in Windows and it says 'connecting to device' then 'configuring device'. Then
    'This device has been successfully added to this computer. Windows is now checking for drivers and will install them if necessary. You may need to wait for this to finish before your device is ready to use. To verify if this device finished installing properly, look for it in Devices and Printers.'
    I click on Devices and Printers, and find the Air-Fi Runaway.
    I click on volume system icon to select it as a playback device, but it is not listed there.
    How do I guarantee that Windows actually downloads and installs the drivers to make this work? It doesn't appear to be doing so automatically as per what happened above.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
    Tronica

    hello,
    the reason the driver is not installed is because there is no windows 7/8 64bit driver available .
    I have the same problem with another kind of headphones, soundpeats qy7 .
    I keep searching and hoping that maybe a driver will be completed and published .

  • No HDMI Audio, Failed to Play Test Tone, Can't Change Default Playback Device

    Hello, I'm experiencing some real trouble with my HP Pavilion dv6-2160us (with the i3-330M, no dedicated graphics) Windows 7-64 bit, SP1 PC, and I would greatly appreciate some assistance.
    I've created a new thread because, despite the fact that many other people have experienced a problem similar to this and have posted what worked for them, nothing has worked for me.
    The Problem(s):
    My main problem is that I cannot get any audio to play from my PC to my HDMI HDTV.
    When I plug my HDMI cable into my PC and TV, the TV is recognized in Playback Devices, but nothing can play to it.
    When I try to test the TV in playback devices, I get a "Failed to play test tone" error.
    Additionally, I'd like to mention some other odd behavior that I think may be a part of the main problem.
    In Playback Devices, I cannot change anything. I can't disable or enable a device, I can't set default playback or communication devices, and I can't save changes inside device properties. Every time I try to change something, like the default playback device, nothing happens or the changes are immediately reversed.
    The Question:
    How can I get audio to play over HDMI on my PC (It's not a problem with the TV, my other HP machines play audio over HDMI to it just fine.)?
    What I've Tried:
    I have tried:
    Changing the default playback devices, which I'm unable to do
    Running the Windows 7 Audio Playback troubleshooters from within a clean boot state
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the Intel(R) Display Audio driver
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    Uninstalling the IDT PC Audio program from Programs and Features
    Disabling the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    Nothing has worked.
    The drivers I have are the latest issued by HP
    How can I get this working? I would really appreciate some assistance.
    I'm at the point where I'm ready to try pretty technically-involved suggestions, so, please feel free to post those.
    Your expertise is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Problem playback device

    Hi new to skype, unable to have my first video chat.  Message coming up "problem with playback device"
    grateful if anyone can help.
    Thanks

    I'm not sure why that's occurring.  You might want to upgrade your video drivers as well, but I don't know anything about your video or make/manufacturer of your computer based off what you gave me.
    You can try the following to see if it will help:

    @Camilad 
    I hope you have and had a wonderful holiday.
    Okay for your sound problem, it is possible that something else may have been inadvertently deleted when you disabled the Bluetooth. It is hard to say for sure.
    I did find this page which is directly related to what you describe. In it is mentioned driver updates and BIOS updates.

  • W540 no HDMI audio in playback devices

    Hello,
    i am trying to get the miniDisplayport to pass audio. i have a minidisplay port to HDMI adapter, a HDMI cable and a TV that i know can recieve HDMI audio.
    however, there isnt an option for HDMI/displayport in the listing of playback devices:
    what can i do?
    thanks,
    Tom

    Assuming your W540 has an nVidia discrete graphics chip, the miniDP port is part of the nVidia graphics digital audio hardware, not the Realtek HD Audio analog (i.e. speakers/headphone) hardware.  Have you installed the latest nVidia drivers?
    I have a W530 and not a W540, but I would think if you had the proper current nVidia drivers installed it would also have included not only the graphics driver but the HDMI audio driver as well in the package.  When you connect the TV with the miniDP->HDMI cable you should see that digital audio option available in "playback devices".
    Here's my own experiment a while back, connecting my own W530's miniDP output through a miniDP->HDMI cable (I don't use and adapter + HDMI cable, I use a simple straight-through cable with miniDP at one end and HDMI at the other) to my Panny 65VT50 HDTV.  Note that the digital audio option from nVidia was checked as the default in "playback devices", and I DID get sound from my TV.
    Note that on my W530 I DO NOT USE OPTIMUS!!!  I have "discrete graphics" specified in the BIOS, and the built-in Intel HD4600 graphics is NOT BEING USED AT ALL!!  The Intel graphics doesn't show up in Device Manager, nor does it show up in nVidia Control Panel.  Again... I DO NOT USE OPTIMUS.
    I run strictly using the nVidia K1000M on my W530, and am using the latest nVidia retail graphics driver 340.66 downloaded from the nVidia driver site and installed with my W530 in "discrete graphics" mode. Thus the miniDP connector on the W530 is guaranteed to be controlled by the K1000M, both for external monitor/TV video as well as for external digital audio.

  • How do I get Independent Headphone to be the default playback device in Beats Audio?

    In the Beats Audio control panel (I own a Pavilion dv7-4051nr) the only option listed for Independent Headphone is default communication device. The only time I have been able to enable Independent Headphone for sound playback was through Windows Media Player (Tools>Options>Devices>Speakers>Properties). I thought the audio was superior and played louder compared to using the Speakers and Headphones as playback device for headphone listening. However, the next time I logged on and attempted to play a CD with Independent Headphone there was no sound output despite the fact that the Independent Headphone volume control on the taskbar indicated it was working. When I switched to Speakers and Headphones, sound was delivered to the headphones as normal.

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • HDMI playback device retriveal

    I have a hp pavilion elite e9120y and have accidentally deleted the hdmi playback device option in the choices.  How do i retrieve the option?

    Hi rIntsn,
    I think you can get it back by doing an application/driver recovery. Here is a link to an HP Support document on how to use the driver or application recovery feature.
    Just install the Audio related software and hardware drivers.

  • Problems with Playback Device ?

    Im using Skype for desktop and it doesnt make the noises when I receive a message. I tried checking if the noise all together wasn't working and when I tried called the Echo / Sound Test Service it told me there were problems with the playback device. The sound works fine on other apps it's just that it doesn't seem to work on Skype. I went on the sounds tabs in the options menu and I selected the correct device to play the sound with but it still won't work. I am using an ASUS laptop.

    Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool.
    Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.
    Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

  • Multiple audio playback devices

    I have just built a system using the K7N2-L mainboard and am having a problem with multiple audio playback devices.
    Actually I have TWO problems, which are probably unrelated.
    I have a 5.1 speaker system connected to the onboard audio and an external USB DAC for playback through a hi-fi system.  
    The first problem is that the USB audio device is only recognised if it's plugged in after the system is booted.  If it's already attached when I power up, it appears not to be properly installed.
    The second problem is that when I use the Sounds and Multimedia control panel to switch audio devices (Windows 2000 pro) playback continues through whichever device was used first.  In order to switch, I have to reboot the computer.
    Another system I built using an Epox nforce board does not have this second problem, although it does have the first.  With the Epox board, I can even play through both devices simultaneously.

    I gathered this from the handbrake side of things:
    You can also combine Pro Logic II and AC3 pass-through. This will give you a file that will play anywhere from QuickTime to VLC to the iPhone (using the AAC Pro Logic II track) and play in true surround sound on an AppleTV or in Perian. It is the best of both worlds, and it is only possible in the .mp4 and .mkv containers. Again, MP4 file names must, confusingly, end in .m4v for QuickTimeto read them. To use this hybrid format, in the Audio tab, set the first audio track to be the track you want, in AAC sound. Then set the second track to also use the same source track, and select AC3 pass-through."
    I think this is what will ultimately help me. I will let you know.
    the answer was righ under my nose.
    Thank you!

  • [SOLVED]How to set default audio playback device?

    I have an X-fi forte soundcard that doesn't work on linux, so I'm just gonna use the onboard realtek chip, but I get no sound from that either unless I physically remove the X-fi card.
    I use the X-fi when I boot into windows though, so I'd like to keep it...
    How do I change the default playback device?
    I didn't find anything that worked in the wiki or with google.
    Last edited by raginaot (2010-12-05 04:30:21)

    oh wait... I just spotted this in the wiki guide, a little too late
    NB: Some modules do not support indexing options eg. snd-hda-intel. If you experience problems on reboot edit /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to just have the modules.
    what does that mean "edit /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to just have the modules.".... what modules? :S
    should I just remove "index=0" from the line?
    Edit: yes I should. It's working
    Thx man

  • Bluetooth speaker does not appear in "playback devices" list

    I'm having trouble controlling my new Auvio HBT2000W speaker via bluetooth from my Y580 ideapad running Windows 8.1.  They successfully pair, but the speaker does not appear in the "playback devices" to output my audio to.  This may be related, but when in "devices and pritners", if I right click on the Auvio HBT2000W and select "control", the window that pops up (shown below) always closes after about 2 seconds. I have tried all the unpairing/repairing, restarting, etc.I've tried updating the bluetooth driver with the one posted on this website.I've disabled the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" on the Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)I've made sure that all "services" are enabled in the properties window for the Auvio HBT2000W.I've even tried the Windows troubleshooter... which of course says that everything is fine and working properly. Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?Thanks!
