5.1 audio from Mac

Can someone recomend a USB audio device for a Mac that putputs 5.1 audio (6 channels).

If I remember correctly, tech support for earlier versions of Logic is offline already (which is a pity). However, 5th version was cross-platform. So, you may try looking for a clue on pc-related forums.

Play audio from Mac to Yamaha MIDI keyboard?

Is it possible to send audio from the Mac to a Yamaha MIDI instrument using the MIDI cables or do I need a separate audio cable? I want to have everything played using the Yamaha instrument speakers rather than the MacBook's.

MIDI is NOT audio, you cannot transport audio over MIDI cables.
So, does the Yamaha have audio inputs?

Stream audio from Mac to airport without using iTunes?

Hi,
I want to know if I can stream my audio output to an airport express that's connected to my speakers without necessarily using iTunes. As an example, when watching a movie on Netflix on my MacBook Pro. The movie playback is through Safari, not iTunes so is there a way to send that audio to the airport express?
Another question: Would the new Apple TV do that too (of course not with Mac Netflix playback since it has Netflix support within it) with, for example, Sirius Media player running on my MacBook Pro?

Wow! That was quick and so effective!! Thank you!
I had never heard of that application. So now my question would be, can I do this with the new Apple TV instead of airport express??

Transfer audio from mac to i pad

How does one transfer keynote from a mac to a i pad without losing the sound? Also lose some transitions.

Hi!
Firefox doesn't officially support this any longer. We used to have Firefox Home but it was discontinued. My recommendation is to use "Bookmarks on the go" instead of what you have already downloaded. That app has been developed by a Mozilla member and it's completely safe to use:
Check it out: [https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bookmarks-on-the-go/id550037184?mt=8 Bookmarks on the go]
You would need to set up Firefox Sync in order to use it. The following article explains everything with good detail: [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]
Let me know if this helps.

Outputting audio from Mac

What is the difference between using the Mini Displayport to Output audio (such as multi-channel audio) vs. using the optical out (headphone jack) via a TOSlink/Digital Optical cable to an external sound system?

MIDI is NOT audio, you cannot transport audio over MIDI cables.
So, does the Yamaha have audio inputs?

Can make audio calls from mac pro

FaceTime and Messages setup per instructions (on phone 5s iOS 8.1 and Mac Pro13 Retina Yosemite 10.10). Can make a Face time call but not audio from Mac. The Contacts iPhone icon pops up the quickly disappears. Under Face Time call audio works but video fails,

I think I resolved this! I had the same issues you have been having for a few months. I am actually running Vista. Here is what I did...
1. While booted to Windows I uninstalled boot camp
2. Re-installed boot camp from Leopard DVD
3. Installed boot camp update 2.1 (downloaded from Apple support, i know this is for XP only, but I updated anyway.)
4. Downloaded the realtek drivers (high definition audio codecs) from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
5. DO NOT use the Realtek installer to install the drivers...instead extract the contents to a folder.
6. Go to the device manager, locate the High Definition Audio device and updated the drivers from here (point to the folder where you extracted the drivers).
I now have sound out of the rear jack!! Hope this help someone

I have no audio from the mac mini to the hdtv via hdmi cable.

This started immediately after the latest "apple software update" I updated it automatically on 6/24/2011. I have an elgato eye tv connected to the mac mini that provides BOTH audio and video through the HDMI to the HDTV. The elgato eye tv works fine. I get both audio and video.
However, I only get picture and NO sound from the mac mini to the HDTV via the HDMI output. No streaming audio either - only picture. Ive tried pandora, netflix, hulu, etc. I even put in a DVD into the mac mini and again I receive a picture through THE HDMI but no audio.
I've shutdown and rebooted. I've disconnected power and reconnected power. I've gone into the system preferences, audo, and highlight the SONY HDTV as the output. But still nothing. I do notice when I toggle between the "internal speakers' and the HDMI option, the audio arrow on the lower right is bright blue during the internal speakers option but is grey when the HDMI option is connected.
I called apple care. Since I'm 98 days past my 90 days of coverage there is no help via human being. They offered me to set an appointment at the local apple store but they suggested I bring down my 60 inch HDTV with me to the store to be sure it is not a "Sony" issue. I hope someone can help me resolve this without having to put this mac mini on craigslist and taking a $ hit.
This was not an issue yesterday. It became an issue after the latest and greatest "update" to prepare our machines for the lovely lion.
Thanks.

I have the same issue. I also have the 2010 mac mine and use hdmi for audio to my receiver. I get audio from eye tv with no problems, but it seems to lock the path so that only it can use that path for audio. If I restart the computer and do not start eye tv everything else works with hdmi audio. I have tried using the system settings and changing the source there but it doesnt seem to matter.

How can I send audio from an application to the HDMI port on my Mac Mini while also sending the audio to another application?

I am trying to use VLC (or any streaming audio player) and listen to a web radio station while at the same time using Audacity to monitor the CODEC's digital level. I want to make a digital measurement of the level that the streaming radio station is using on the air. I can calibrate the levels for maxbit by overdriving my web stations encoder and watching for clipping distortion on the decode on Audacity (waveform view). I then calibrate the clipped value to the 0dB peak on Audacity's meters or waveform view. I also am trying to calibrate and use the free Orban Loudness meter. I require something like Soundflower (as others have indicated) but I find that sound flower is very unstable (or maybe mis-configured on my machine with Lion). I think there is a clock drift issue since Soundflower works well for some number of minutes and then distortion appears in one of the outputs (either the HDMI or the feed to Audacity/Orban Loudness Meter). I would have thought this was easy on a Mac, but as it turns out it is not. Am I missing something here and there is a way to send audio from one application to my HDMI output and another application?

Thanks Rudegar for the response. I was already afraid that Apple TV won't be of any help.
Is there no solution for getting an audio-stream into the "airplay-system", e.g. by using another apple device?

Audio output from Mac mini 2009

I have a 2009 Mac mini with mini dvi and mini display port outputs. Just bought an hdmi tv to use as the display. I understand audio is not supported out of the mini DVI, but what about the mini display port? I was thinking of using a mini display port to hdmi cable. Trying to avoid an additional cable for audio.

There are two 2009 Mac mini models, Early 2009 and Late 2009. I can tell you for sure that the Early '09 Mac mini does not have integrated audio from the mini-DIsplayPort. It was my understanding that the Late '09 Mac minis built in 2009 also did not have integrated audio, but those made in early 2010 did. The only way to know for sure would be to test it. Apple reports that some m-DP adapters are not adhering to the VESA standard and even Macs with integrated audio in the m-DP do not with these poorly made adapters. Apple is only recommending the Moshi and Griffin adapters.

If your mini does not have integrated audio you can get a cool adapter that will solve that issue from Monoprice;

Ripping audio from a DVD - Any ideas for Macs

Hi
I found a nice and simple piece of software from www.imtoo.com which can rip the audio out of a DVD and save it as an audio file for import to iPod. For a whole bunhc of reasons I'd rather have just the audio from films and comedy shows than the whole video.
Oddly this was listed in MacWorld, but they don't do an Apple Mac version. I am after a one stop solution if anyone knows of one - guess there must be as the IMTOO product works so elegantly, am sure someone has done this for the Mac.
Cheers
Sammy

I am not aware of any tool for the Mac that can rip audio from a DVD-A (audio only) disk.
I am also not aware of any 1 step tool for ripping the audio from ordinary DVD video disks.
The approach I took when I did this involved using MacTheRipper to copy to a hard disk, another tool to extract the audio, and then if I remember correctly, I used QuickTime to save the tracks as individual files (with the correct track lengths are listed on the cover). I was then able to burn the results files to a CD (audio format), and incredibly the resulting CD was recognised by iTunes (and Gracenote CDDB) with the correct tracks names etc. (The DVD was of a concert.)
This as you can tell was not a simple one step operation, it took most of an afternoon trying various tools.

Record Audio from playing Media directly to Mac hard drive?

I have installed BBC i player on my Mac Book Pro (this is a media player)- works fine.
I can down load, watch and listen to programmes but I have been unable to save the Audio from the media that is playing.
Is there any way of recording the Audio directly from the Downloaded programme or film to be saved directly to my Mac hard drive whilst the media is playing on my Mac. I have Down loaded Audacity but, I am unsure on how to save the music directly to my Mac’s hard drive.
Thanks

there is a program called highjack or hijack that you can record any audio playing over the system

App to import audio from vinyl or cassette to Mac

I would like to import audio from my vinyl and cassette collection to my iMac.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a reasonably priced App which will do this successfully?
Any help would be appreciated.

Just tried this again. I may be missing something with the options in the dialog box which states the following defaults:
Format: ZIP
Method: Normal
Exclude Mac Resource forks (selected) - don't understand what that means?
Delete files after compression - not selected.
At the foot of the dialog box it states "Drag files to RarGenie in the dock"! Not sure what that means either.
Please don't spend any more time on this if you don't have an easy answer. I was really hoping to hear from someone who had used an available App in the App Store which they had found easy to use and not too expensive and which could be used with an appropriate hardware device.

Random audio interruptions. I'm getting audio snippets, no more than a word or syllable, about 20 times per hour. Emanates from Mac internal speakers. Started after upgrading to OS 10.9.5. What is it? How can I stop it?

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.
