Airplay takes over my default sound settings

I have an iMac 27" used primarily as a recording studio source (using Cubase..similar to Logic Pro). Connected to that is an Airport Extreme and a router, My Sound card is a Universal Audio Apollo as the default audio imput and output. My wife has a Macbook Pro with an Airport Express that she uses to Skype with clients two floors down in the basement. She uses the Airport Express because she would have dropouts and disconnections) Lately after upgrading to 10.9 Mavericks, everytime she Skypes all my sound settings in (System Preferences, Audio/Midi, and Cubasesettings) revert to Airplay. How do I make this annoying workflow inhibitor go away? Thanks Donaldjon

I'm marking this as solved; it's a shame that a simple useful program like that has not been made already.
Go check out mime-types and how they're handled in Linux. Its not simple (mainly BECAUSE the big DEs have never settled on one way to do it).

I'll call you on that, that is not true at all. Perhaps if your computer is basically an extended web browser which plays videos/songs. For those of us who do a variety of work on it, the groupings are woefully inadequate.

  • Does Internet Explorer take over cursor control ?

    Hi all,
    Is it possible that Internet Explorer takes over control of the settings of the cursor in Shockwave dcr files ?
    Since a couple of months I have realized that the cursor in my dcr movies does not change anymore from the default pointer despite being instructed using lingo commands.
    For example:
       on startMovie me
          cursor 280
       end
    should change the cursor into a finger, but it does not.
    I have also tried hiding the cursor (cursor 200) and using my own custom made custom but the default pointer refuses to disappear.
    When using Google Chrome all works well.
    Hower, this is not a proper solution since I cannot control the users choice using Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.
    I would expect a lot of screams from all over the world but the lack of that makes me think there maybe a simple way to avoid this.
    Any comments are very much appriciated.

  • How do i change default sound when using AirPlay Display on Mavericks

    So i am using a TV with Apple TV attached as a second display for watching movies etc in the background
    Everytime i turn on the setting to enable to the display, it sets the Apple TV as my default sound and i have to go to settings to manually re-select my speakers attached to my iMac. Is there anyway to change this so it leaves the sound from my Mac as the default sound when enabling the screen.

    I looked into this a little more carefully.  It's not the Guest account.  It clearly indicates "Managed".
    Searching for more information, this is something related to Parental Control, but I can't seem to get this account to take on the characteristics of either an administrator or user role.

  • Issues with loud sound settings over headphones.

    My Ipad 2 has been having some issues with the sound settings when I put the volume up loud. When I go past a certain level there is a "popping" sound and the volume cuts out all together.  If I reduce the volume this popping sound happens again and the volume comes back on.
    This only happens through the headphones, and doesn't happen with the external speaker.
    Have I stuffed up one of the settings? Is this an OS update issue or do I need to replace the headphone jack?
    I have reset all the settings, but haven't done a complete restore yet.
    Thanks

    Why is everybody posting Flash Player questions in the Shockwave Player forum???

  • Loading sound settings in ga

    I am running Windoes Xp with Audigty 2 zs. When I play games like Halo I don't get all the sound settings like environmental sound. How can I have all the sound settings turned on so I can use the card I have? Is there some settings I need to do from my sound card to turn them on or is it in the game?

    Not having that problem but the only thing that comes to mind is that when the Mac is ready to read your old Sound Settings, it could be that for some reason the driver for your external sound device hasn't loaded yet, so your computer can't see it, and defaults to something else.
    Now, with that said, I've got a few different M-Audio external audio devices, and have never had this particular problem.
    Just out of curiosity, what device do you have? Do you have the latest driver? Past that, I'd create a 2nd user with admin privileges, log into that account, set the sound the your external device, shut down, and re-start and see if the same thing happens.
    Is your external device turned ON before you start up your Mac? Could be it takes longer to initialize and isn't being seen by your Mac at the right time during the start up process.....
    Just my 2¢'s worth....

  • Cannot change target sound in drag and drop to "no sound" once a default sound is selected in Captivate 8

    I was trying out all the options for a drag and drop interaction in Captivate 8 and selected one of the default sounds for a target. I want to change it back to "no sound", but the selection never sticks. Is there something I'm missing or is this a "feature"?

    When you go to the “Format” tab of the drag and drop properties, there is an option called “audio” (right below the “depth” option).
    It has default sounds you can pick (sound1, sound2, sound3, and incorrect sound). Or you can browse to an audio file. If I select one of the default sounds, and then decide not to use any sound, it will not change to the “none” option. I have to delete the drag and drop interaction and start over.

  • It takes over an hour for the rental movies from itunes to download. is this normal?

    it takes over an hour to download. is this normal?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That all depends on your internet service. 6 Mbps or better is recommended for HD rental content. 2.5 Mbps for SD. You can check your actual internet speed at speedtest.net.
    If you'd rather download SD content to avoid waits, you can change the type of content available by default in settings.

  • [Flash CS6] Understanding odd animation disparities relating to sound settings?

    Hello. This is related to something that I am currently experiencing whilst working in Flash Pro CS6. I hope this is the right forum for this; it's labelled CC but there does not appear to be a separate discussion space for older versions of flash.
    I'm relatively new to the software in terms of experience, and was wondering about some odd behavior I've been seeing, wherein qualities in the animation differ with respect to my sound settings. This isn't a problem that needs fixing, per-se, as it's mostly just down to timing issues, but I would like to understand this behavior so that I know what to expect in the future.
    I have a fairly complex flash animation with multiple scenes, some actionscript-controlled objects and musical accompaniment. This music runs throughout the entire animation, and the animation is synchronized loosely with the music. Oddly, I have recently noticed that, depending on the settings which I choose to apply to this music track, the visual component of the animation behaves differently. I should add that, in the flash editor, my music and animation are synchronized perfectly.
    If I set the music to "Stream", and render as a flash file, then several sections of the animation lag horribly. The synchronization between music and animation remains exact, but I see horrible jerky movement on screen. If I set the music as an "Event" sound and then render, however, not only is the music (understandably) much better quality but this lag disappears. However, for some reason, on one particular scene of the animation, where the lag during "streaming" is most severe, the sequence of timeline events appears to slow down with respect to the music. You must understand that this scene is contained within it's own movie clip, placed directly onto the timeline with only a few fade transition objects on the layers over it. The content within this movie clip plays entirely lag free and at the correct speed, as does the rest of the flash, but the scene/movie clip remains on the screen for far longer than previously with respect to the music, despite it being synchronized perfectly on the timeline. The fade transition events on the layers above the movie clip also occur later than they are scheduled, as if the "scrolling line" on the timeline were moving more slowly over the movie clip, despite the apparent lack of lag.
    Of course, I can solve these problems by setting the sound as an event sound whenever I export to a flash file, and reducing the length of the scene manually until it lines up with the music in the render. However, I would like to better understand how my sound settings are affecting animation lag and timings. Presumably setting the sound as an "event" pre-loads it before the flash - is this also causing the rest of the flash to pre-load, hence removing the lag? Will this increase the time that my exported animation takes to load in it's preloader screen? Why are the timings affected by setting the sound to "Event", especially seeing as there is no visual lag or jerkiness and it only occurs when playing this one movie clip?
    Any answers to these questions would be most welcome.
    Thank you for any responses.

    I've moved your question to the Flash Pro CC forum.

  • Itunes interferes with my other music programs. Tries to take over so I won't use itunes. Any solution.

    I prefer Windows Media Player to rip and sync. Every time I try to do something with Windows MP, iTunes pops up and interupts my process. I had to uninstall iTunes due to this. Is there a solution so I can have both programs without iTunes trying to take over?  iTunes couldn't sync my CD's to my MP3 player so I can't use it for that.

    Sounded like a good solution; however, I have been unable to re-download iTunes. I get the message "Installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured." Tried three times. It had successfully installed before. Perhaps it won't install if you don't choose it to be default?

  • Chromium takes over system volume control

    Hi forum,
    I'm using GNOME, ALSA (no PulseAudio or ESD), and Chromium on an i686 install.  On my laptop (an Asus F3Jm), Master is a toggle control, and PCM is the slider that controls the system volume.  The volume hotkeys on my laptop work correctly and control the PCM slider.  However, when I open a Flash applet or an HTML5 video in Chromium, the PCM volume jumps to 100% and cannot be controlled by the hotkeys (not even muted); instead, the applet's volume control is the only way I have to control the volume.  This is not an acceptable situation for me as some sites (for example Livestream) don't remember my volume setting and start off at 100% volume every time.
    Well, sometimes.  Once in a while it actually does work as expected (application volume controlled independent of system volume, and system volume can still be controlled via hotkeys), which is the part I find particularly confusing.  I haven't figured out what the situations are where it does and doesn't take over the volume control.
    (EDIT: It seems that it happens the first time, and only the first time, that I start Chromium after each system boot.  So one "workaround" could be to never shut down or reboot...)
    I don't believe the OSS emulation is being used, because I've unloaded and blacklisted the snd_*_oss modules and don't have alsa-oss installed.  It's possible that Chromium is using the hw device instead of the default, but I don't know how to check for this or fix it.  I don't have Firefox installed, but I suppose I could try it if someone thinks a comparison might be useful.
    Package versions:
    alsa-lib 1.0.22-1
    chromium 4.0.249.78-3
    flashplugin 10.0.42.34-1
    <your requested package here>
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    ALSA doesn't support per application volume control, which would explain the behavior. That behavior, however, is still incorrect, as normally applications respect the volume level and don't overwrite it without user intervention.
    A simple solution would be to switch to (at least for me) more advanced OSSv4 or use pulse audio (which I personally dislike).
    You should file a bug report for chromium (or check whether you got some settings wrong).

  • Print to Video takes over monitor

    I recently started to back up all my videos on to DV tapes. When I print to tape my monitor mirrors the playback. My DV deck has a monitor connected so i can see playback there and don't want my Mac taken over by the export. I found a setting in the "Audio/Video Settings" under the Final Cut Pro tab that allows me to turn off mirroring, but the screen still goes black. I've also hooked up a second monitor in hopes that the mirroring output would take over that screen, but no. So if anyone could direct me to some settings that I could switch this, your awsome. I'm using Final Cut Pro 6.0.1

    How do I make the print to video faster with these options checked?
    OK...I am biting my tongue
    If I have to insert the color bars and slate into the timeline, how do I get the conventional color bars footage with hight pitch sound without recapturing one of the dubs?
    Bithing myth thongue.
    In your case printing to video doesn't take longer with the slate checked?
    It is beginning to bleed....
    How do you drag your sequence from the browser to the print to video video?
    Oww....
    Pat is talking about the EDIT TO TAPE window. Print to video doesn't have this option. And if you are trying to deliver a tape for broadcast, and you are NOT using edit to tape and are using Print to Video instead...how on earth are you getting proper timecode on this tape? Because bars and tone typically start at 58:30:00...go for a minute...then black for a few seconds...then a slate with program info...then more plack (perhaps a countdown)...then show starts at 1:00:00:00 on the nose. What are you doing?
    And seriously...adding bars and tone means outputting takes longer? Uhhh, YEAH. If you add 60 seconds of footage to your timeline, the duration increases by 60 seconds. That is typically how things work. Adding bars, tone, black and a slate should add about 2 minutes to your cut. because you need 30 seconds of black BEFORE the bars and tone too...typically. Export faster? No...can't output faster than real time.
    How do you get BARS & TONE without recapturing? In the Viewer, below where you look at your footage, there is a drop down menu with the letter "A." Click on that and you will see BARS AND TONE for a variety of footage formats.

  • [SOLVED] default sound card changed

    Hello all,
    Been struggling with my arch64 and XFCE over the past couple of days.  my arch32 gnome 2.x screamed, it was great.
    Anyway, when I first installed Arch this week, I had sound(alsamixer reported SB Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350] as default).  I then installed XFCE, updated, installed vlc, etc, and I had sound(alsamixer reported SB Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350] as default.   I've been mucking around trying to get Arch to automount my DVD, and not sure what happened, but when I rebooted just now, I have no sound. 
    Now when I go into alsamixer, my default sound device is marked as ATI R6xx HDMI, with one S/PDIF connection MM.
    What could have happened that made Arch/XFCE change my default sound card?  I've check the forums, and didn't find anything.  Then again, I've been living in forums for the past 4 days trying to solve various issues, I could have missed something, or gotten confused.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi, Masutu
    Pulseaudio is in my daemon array:
    DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng !network crond dbus @alsa @pulseaudio)
    But what you've said about some program calling pulse and crashing things makes sense. How could I "correctly configure" pulse? What do you suggest?
    My /etc/asound.conf is here:
    # Use PulseAudio by default
    pcm.!default {
    type pulse
    fallback "sysdefault"
    hint {
    show on
    description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
    ctl.!default {
    type pulse
    fallback "sysdefault"
    # vim:set ft=alsaconf:
    It seems pretty the same what is written in some sites about pulse.
    In a past time (with other computer), I just removed pulse completely. But now there is a warning about dependencies: gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-control-center. And I don't know how removing these Gnome packages will affect the window manager.

  • How to connect sound or audio to my tv using hdmi adapter. I tried to connect thru sound settings but my tv is not found.

    how to connect sound to my tv set using hdmi adapter. Im using 2009 macbook pro 13". I went to sound settings then output and it shows internal speaker built- in, it wont locate my tv set. pls. help, thanks

    You probably can't because it looks like your MacBook Pro is too old to carry audio over HDMI. You will need to run a separate audio cable from the audio out port on the MacBook Pro to the audio in port on the TV.
    Check your MacBook Pro model year against the list in this Apple tech note:

  • When I select a netflix movie on my iPad and push it to my apple TV, why doesn't the Apple TV take over the streaming, so that I can then use my iPad for other things?

    From what I can tell, when I select the movie and hit the airplay button to move it to the apple TV, my iPad is still doing all the work of streaming the movie.  Why can't the apple TV take over the heavy work at this point?  I'd like to be able to use my iPad as more of a remote with an awesome interface for the apple TV.  The netflix app on iPad is great, and the easiest way to browse movies, and pushing them to the apple TV is fantastic, but once the movie starts, I want to use my iPad for other things!!!  Can this be put on the "to do" list for devs?

    Have you tried the Remote app on iPhone/iPad to control AppleTV, do searches etc?  Should be easier than the remote alone and this does not involve Airplay.
    Please note, only users read/comment here  - your idea is quite sensible in my view (maybe have a 'Continue viewing on AppleTV' option or something.  I doubt this would be high on Apple's roadmap but send them feedback here:
