Airplay system audio

Doens anybody know why sometimes i can't select my Apple TV as a output for my whole system audio stream instead of just the iTunes one? It seems to happens randomly, but there could be some things I haven't noticed.
Basically sometimes I am allowed to choose from the sound output preference pane between the integrated speakers or the Apple TV as a airplay output. Sometimes, on the contrary I can still see both of them but also if I choose the Apple Tv output simply it won't be selected also if I am able to select it for the streaming of the iTunes only audio stream.
Actually I don't understant what's going on...

I see you got the same problem
I am using for like four month a A5 speaker and like to watch movies in itunes so as you say in system preferences i choose it for output.
Sometimes it just doesn't work and when click it it back to internal speaker as happen to you.
Sometimes desconect it and conect works but no always
I find that it works more when restart
But anyways i forgott about it,when it happen i just listen to musicas you can do and may next day when i click it it works
Is strange but you no the only one having the issue
Apple is working on it i guess
I just give up and when it works fine if no i just ignore it and try later again and it use to work
I have lot of times the same problem and it reconect after some time lot of times
I am sure is a easy trick there but didn't find it jet
Hope it helps

AirPlay All System Audio To Apple TV(not AirPlay Mirroring)

I can successfully play audio from iTunes to my Apple TV.
I understand that I should also be able to select my Apple TV as a sound output destination in System Preferences so that all system audio gets directed there.
Apple TV appears in the list of devices however I cannot select it.
Anyone know how to fix this please?

Thanks for replying and trying to help Lanny.
When I try to select Apple TV it would simply bounce back to the internal speakers (or the last device I had selected).
Since posting I found a solution on another thread. The post from DC Soup on this thread on flushing the DNS cache. Everything works fine after that. I don't know why flushing the DNS cache would fix the issue.
It's great because I can now get audio from any app to stream to my Apple TV.

10.6.2, iShowU 1.75, Soundflower 1.5.1 are not compatible - no system audio

Ever since upgrading to 10.6.2, the system audio features of ishowu no longer function. soundflower works properly but it seems that 10.6.2 does not let other applications switch/utilize soundflower in their apps. I was on a troubleshooting call with ishowu personnel and the problem was narrowed down to the Snow Leopard. All worked well in Leopard and Tiger but now problems. Apple is really going downhill with the launch with many issues.

Thanks. I had tried that previously and its not a soundflower problem. It seems that the new version of Snow Leopard does not provide the switch to allow 3rd party software to communicate with the sound system preferences. This was not a problem with earlier versions of Mac OS and seems to be a bug that was introduced with Snow Leopard. Mac will only survive if it moves forward with max compatibility with 3rd party software producers.

Entire System Audio mutes randomly while working in Premiere

Hi everyone
Just recently switched over to Premiere Pro CS6 at my office. I'm an editor for a web video production company and so far I've been having quite a few problems with Premiere.
The biggest issue is that randomly, maybe 10 times a day, the audio for my entire system will drop out while editing in Premiere. At first I was resorting to doing full restarts of my computer and the problem would fix itself, but now I've discovered that if I go into "Activity Monitor," search for "coreaudiod" and then force restart that activity, the audio will reset itself for the system, but not Premiere. I still have to then restart premiere to get the audio working again in my project.
I've seen other people mention similar issues but I have yet to find a solution. Can anyone help? Thanks so much.
Here are my computer specs:
iMac
27-inch, Mid 2011
Processor 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
v. 6.0.2

I've worked on two projects so far and it's happened both times. The first project was using ProRes source footage and then outside video assets were brought in that were H264.
Now I'm working on a project that is using Canon DSLR H.264 native footage and video assets that are in H264 and a few that are XDCAM EX.
Also using many still images but it seems as though it will happen randomly when I load a video clip into the Source window. The video clip will play with audio in the source monitor, but then when I bring it into the timeline this is when the entire system audio will drop out and mute entirely.

System Audio Capture - Won't Work

Hello all,
I'm trying to capture my system audio and I cannot get Cp8 to do just that. I'm running the most recent version of Cp8 on my MBP OS X 10.9.5. I open a new video demo, with system audio selected, with or without a mic. The mic will capture just fine, no system audio.
I have a request to capture some Skype interview and Tuesday, any help will be great!
Thank you in advance

Hi there,
Have you tried configuring 'Soundflower' audio driver? . Please refer to the below link for more information.

Captivate 7 is not capturing system audio, and the software has a broken link

The Problem:
Captivate 7 is not capturing system audio. When I start a screen recording, the line with "System Audio" and its checkbox are eternally grayed out. Next to the grayed out words is a link that says, "Why is this disabled?"
The lnik goes to: http://www.adobe.com/go/cpaudio
Which is not a valid link, so Adobe's site redirects me to blogs.adoble.com/captivate which is ZERO help. Both browsing and the search bar bring no answers.
The Device:
Apple Macbook Air, Mid 2013, running OSX 10.9.2.
What I've done already:
Obvsiously I have set Captivate 7's preferences to capture system audio, and have set System Settings -> Security and Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility to allow Captivate to control my computer.
I have also tried clicking the Mic icon, Selecting Source with the System Audio icon and that doesn't record system audio either. It acts like it is recording system audio, but when I stop recording I get a popup that says, "Cannot record system audio. Ensure that you are playing audio on your computer [Okay]"

It's a wierd one.
One thing to try, and this fixes a lot of things, trash your preferences.

Second System Audio

Okay, so I edited my movie using the camera audio. But we actually shot second system audio along with the camera audio (ran the mic to both the camera and a hard drive audio recorder). The video is locked. No more video editing. Unfortunately, I didn't have the second system audio in my hands before video editing needed to get started.
So, does anyone know of some simplified, not horribly time-consuming, method for replacing the camera audio with the second system audio? And, of course, keeping it in sync.

FYI, it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be or people made it sound. Whole process took me 3 hours and a chunk of that was spent trying to figure out which track was from the second system audio vs the camera audio. Once the clips were merged, there wasn't really a way to tell just by looking at them. Another chunk was spent putting in some room tone and tweaking things.
I just merged the audio to the video. Put it in a garbage sequence. Set my in and out points to match the original edit. Copied over the new audio track to where the old had been. Boom. Done. FCP even knew if I messed it up and the new audio was out of sync with the video and displayed the + or - # of frames.
As for bad planning, it wasn't. The camera doesn't do time code. Period. There was no option to have any and it wasn't needed. The only thing I suppose we could have planned better was not having our audio guy suddenly having to go to the mideast for 3 months. Then we would've merged the audio and video up front. Probably would've been zero time savings when you consider that you'd merge takes you wouldn't ultimately use.
Just thought I'd put it out there for anyone else who may need to know.

Non-Apple Keyboard: any way to control system audio volume?

I have a non-Apple Keyboard on my new Mini Lion 7.2.1
Is there any way to control system audio volume via the keyboard ?

Well. I can do this. But just because, on my Apple keyboard, there are the keys that do the job. There's a key to mute, and the keys to adjust low and high the sound. But keyboard shortcuts, I don't think exist. The aren't in keyboard shortcut in Keyboard panel, within System Preferences. The bottom line is that isn't a menu item in Finder for lower sound and higher sound. The only option would be an AppleScript that you save as an applet within Scripts menu (activated in Finder via Script Editor) and you invoke with a shortcut... Well, you can do it, if you open the script Set Output Volume in UI Elements Script folder within Scripts folder. Try it out!

How does Airplay transfer audio file format to an Airport Express?

Hi, everyone
How does Airplay transfer audio file format to an Airport Express?
Many from the Internet claim that iTunes encodes an AIFF file format into an Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) file format before sending signal to an Airport Express.
Is that true?
If so, would it still make sense for me to have AIFF files on my music server
or should I have ALAC files instead?
Please advise.
Thank you.
BR,
George Lien

Many from the Internet claim that iTunes encodes an AIFF file format into an Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) file format before sending signal to an Airport Express.
Is that true?
Yes. The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) works only with iTunes v4.6+ and is limited to music files that iTunes can read; ie, 16-bit data only. These data, though, can be in any file format that iTunes recognizes, from lossy MP3s at the low-quality end of the spectrum to Apple Lossless and lossless AIFF or WAV files at the high end. It is also important to note that the AX functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate. When you play 32kHz or 48kHz data, iTunes sample-rate-converts the data in real time before sending it to the AX.
iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert audio files to Apple Lossless, and then, uses AirPlay to send them to the AX. In turn, the AX uses built-in software that converts the Apple Lossless to an Encoded Digital Audio format. From there, digital audio is sent to a optical transceiver to convert the electrical signal to an optical one before sending it to the innermost part of the audio port. For analog, the AX has a built-in DAC to convert the Encoded Digital Audio to Analog which is sent to the same audio port.
If so, would it still make sense for me to have AIFF files on my music server
or should I have ALAC files instead?
If you have audio files in both formats, I would elect just to keep the ALAC (.m4a) files on the music server.

Captivate 8 not picking up System Audio

Good morning,
My partner and I are both using Captivate 8. We are trying to use a Lync meeting to capture audio. It works fine on my computer but not on my partners. It seems all her settings are the same as mine. She used to be able to pick up the system audio but it has stopped working for some reason. I have had her re-boot twice. Anything else we should be checking?

Hi Lasers Edge,
It turned out that the problem was not actually in Captivate but in Lync. The Lync setting default was not using the Logitech Headset but something else that Captivate did not pick up as part of system audio. Had to click on the Speaker icon in my tray at the bottom of my window (application agnostic). Then click on Mixer. There are then choices for Speakers, System Audio, Lync, etc.... Only Speakers has a drop-down arrow. Select your headset instead of the HP or Realtech or what ever is there. This should fix the problem.
PS -- For us, why it was working for several weeks and then stopped turned out to be a Blue Jeans Conferencing upgrade. Each member of the team had the issue on different days over a two week span and it turned out to be the same day we updated Blue Jeans. Hope that helps.

Can you record system audio from a video??

I am trying to simply record a video but there is no options for recording system audio, therefore it will not recrod the sound. Is there anyway to do this?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You have option of Audio Recording in Adobe Captivate while using Software Simulation or Video Demo (Captivate 6.0)
You can move the Microphone (For Audio Recording) closer to Computer's speaker.
Thanks,

Recording System Audio in Captivate 6

I am running Captivate 6 on Windows 7, but i don't see the option of recording System Audio during capture. Please advise ...

This option only came in with Captivate 6.1 Subscription Edition. It's also in Cp7. If you do not have these versions you won't see it.

Hardware Requirement for Recording System Audio

Hi all. I want to record the system audio using Captivate,
but that function in my PC is disabled. I read all previous topic
regarding this problem and wonder what's the minimum requirement
for sound card or any related hardware to accomplish that need?
Thanks!

Welcome to our community, LyreLu
There used to be an issue with RealTek hardware, but the
developers addressed that with a patch for Captivate 2. Captivate 3
shouldn't need anything special to work with that hardware.
As for system audio, it is my understanding that this issue
is one created by the hardware. You have a couple of options.
1. Obtain a small patch cable and connect it from the Speaker
out to the Mic or Line in line. Then record audio as it plays.
(I've done this with reasonably decent results)
2. Use software that overcomes the issue. One such product is
called FreeCorder. You may visit the download page using the link
below.

Adobe Captivate Help | System audio (for subscription and Adobe Software Assurance customers only)

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/system-audio.html

I have just a "regular" copy of Captivate CS6 Mac version running OS 10.7.5 bought the box so it isn't a subscription. I'm trying to record a video that has an audio track with it I tried using "record new software simulation" as shown by by Dr. Allen Partridge above. In this video he has an option in his audio preferences that I do not have, namely the check box "system audio". Is this wonderful option ONLY for subscriptions or ASA's? If so WHY? If not what do I need to do in order to record the video WITH the audio?

Premiere CC render causes system audio to fail/skip/choppy

Hello,
When I link media, render, or import media into Premiere CC 2014 my system audio (iTunes and Google Play) immediately artifacts and is choppy, skips, and sometimes becomes muted for a few seconds.
Again, it only occurs when I'm processing media after it was offline or when I'm rendering a sequence.
Anyone else have this issue?

Yes I considered your "solution" of just upgrading to Adobe CC but on principal I don't want to have to shell out more money to "fix" the problem. I was able to get an Adobe technician to view my screen in real time. He asked me where Prem Pro was after I opened it and my response was "precisely". The only evidence that Prem Pro is open is that there is the taskbar there with what appears to be fully functional drop down tabs but as far as the panels/workspace goes non-existent! He has "escalated" the matter I'll let you know what occurs next. I have tried using the software mode and there is no change. Like you I have wondered about a hardware proplem but I have checked via Disk Utility and there doesn't appear to be any? The CUDA issue well a) I am not sure how I would revert to previous drivers and b) when I re-installed Prem Pro from disc (that's version 6.0.0.) the only render option it gave me was Software only but that was also greyed out. Prem Pro still did not open up as it should!
I'll let you know what transpires.
