AMD TrueAudio - Return of hardware audio?

So I've been reading a lot about the new R9 series cards from AMD, and one detail that struck me was this quote about how their TrueAudio DSP bypassed the DirectSound limitation :
Q: Didnt Microsoft pretty much put a stake through the heart of advanced audio with Microsoft Vista when DirectSound was demoted and games could no longer directly access the hardware audio layer?
A: Ah, this is some of the real magic behind AMD TrueAudio. By operating through the graphics driver, we arent held accountable to the limitations imposed on the hardware audio layer. We do not touch the Windows audio stack at all.
Q: So a person could keep their existing discrete X-Fi for the superior DACs/ADC, and switch off their effects to use TrueAudio but then switch them back for games that use OpenAL or dont support TrueAudio?
A: Thats 100 percent correct. We designed AMD TrueAudio in the manner that we did precisely because we know users have great audio hardware with high-quality OPAMPS that they dont want or need to forfeit. Whatever audio device(s) a user has right now, that hardware is ready to go with AMD TrueAudio.
Am I understanding this correctly? If so, this is GREAT news... what do you think?
Here is the whole article, if you're interested :

Not sure why Creative keep making software/codec cards now but no doubt as they need to sell cards than run in Win 7 at very least.
??? They added back DirectSound? Hadn't heard that. What is your source?

Hardware Audio Hardware 3D SBLive 24bit probl

First of all, read this thread:
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ery.id=0#M4806
It describes my problem exactly. None of the games I try to play work correctly when I choose "Hardware Audio." When I do, all the sounds are either messed up or missing completely.
This post is also very close to my problem, except I have a SBLi've 24bit, not an Audigy:
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ery.id=0#M7998
All of my drivers are updated. I have pasted a copy of my DxDiag to show my PC specs and driver versions below. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has a fix for this problem.
Thanks in advance!

Man i got the exact same problem with my SBLi've 24bit and nothing seems to fix the problem, i've tried everything.
I hoped the new drivers that came out for it would of fixed this... but they didn't. I think its just a short comming of the card... not realy designed for games i think. my old SB Li've works way better for games so gues i'll continue using that lol

Every time I click on something in GarageBand and error message pops up that says "Error code 25974 was returned by the Audio driver." How do I fix this problem?

Error code 1 was returned by the audio driver :( randomly!

hey all! ive been getting this messege "error code 1 was returned by the audio driver" almost every time i try and merge tracks, bounce track in place, bounce region in place, or mixdown stereo regions per tracks. NOT when i do a real song bounce though. i feel like im noticing my computer is taking a long time to copy audio files into logic projects...i dont know if they are related though. but this error code 1 thing has been hapening CONSTANTLY. the thing is...nothing has changed. i havnt installed or changed anything on my system. its happening on ALL of my old projects, and MOST of my new ones. ive tried disabling all third party AUs and it still happens. do i have bad ram? a bad drive? do i need to reinstall everything? thanks so much in advance!

Ok, I don't know if this solves your problem... but as for what was triggering the 'Error code 1' message on my computer... Here's the update.
After much troubleshooting, the cause of this error in my setup was the Highpoint RocketRaid 2314 eSata PCIe card.
The Highpoint RocketRaid driver is included in OS X 10.8 with no additional drivers / installers to run. However, it isn't compatible with the old driver when upgrading the kernel (ie. 10.6 - 10.8)
I was bouncing to an external drive connected through eSata to the RocketRaid PCIe card... error message. Time Machine backup connected through eSata... error message. The drives were being dismounted rudely, or losing connection momentarily and reconnecting, resulting in the error messages.
Here are the instructions from Highpoint tech support to manually uninstall the embedded driver, and then reinstall the old Snow Leopard driver for use in Mountain Lion (10.8)... which works as it's suppposed to.
1. Go the folder System > Library > Extensions >, look for the file HighPointRR.kext and delete that file.
2. Second, download the driver from the link below, then run the Un-install script to remove any previous installed driver.
http://www.hptmac.com/productfiles/bios_driver/hptrr-mac106-driver-v11...
Then re-install the driver, but do not reboot or restart the system.
3. Third, download the webGUI from the link below. And run the un-install script to remove any previous installed web GUI.
http://www.hptmac.com/productfiles/WebGUI-Mac-v168-091120.dmg
Then re-install the web GUI and reboot after installation is complete.
Once the system has booted up, open a browser and type URL to log into web GUI.

I hope that this helps someone!

Error code -1 was returned by core audio driver

Hello everyone,i have logic pro 7 fully registered and all of a sudden when i try and open any of my songs i get an error message.error -1 was returned by core audio driver?and battery is the only plug-in that has a line through it and it will not open?i rebooted,even tried to open a brand new autoload and everytime i try to load in battery i get the same error message?If anyone has a clue,cause i dont

Try uninstalling 'battery' (I'm unfamiliar with that plug-in) & seeing if you still get error messages. If not, re-install 'battery'; but if the errors recur, you'll have to remove it again.
N.B.: check the installation instructions first; manually removing the obvious components may not be sufficient (you may need to run the installer & select 'uninstall').

Error Code 1 was returned by the Audio driver

Whenever I try to export a podcast to MP3 - using good quality, I get multiple errors. A little box pops up saying "Error Code 1 was returned by the Audio driver".
In the saved file there is a short one second pause wherever that particular error has shown up.
Has anyone experienced this error and knows of a solution? I am utterly clueless, not very experienced with Garageband at all...
Thank you in advance!

I'm getting this too, for the first time. I've got a project that I've used to publish a monthly podcast with and I've been opening, editing, and saving this project for a couple of years now.
Now, with GB '09, I'm getting this error. Not pleased.

Error Code -1 Returned by core audio driver-Please help!

I can't open GB3, each time I try, it gives this message error: Error Code -1 Returned by core audio driver
What can I do?
Intel 2.16, OS: Leopard, and I use Guitar Rig 2 which work fine.

There is no such thing as a G5 Intel.
Error -36 is an "I/O error", could mean a lot of things, you should give more details:
• Does this happen during recording or playback?
• Does it happen again if you re-open the project/re-start GB?
• Does it happen with other projects too?

Please read this whole message carefully, especially the warnings, before doing anything.
1. The changes to your configuration suggested here should be considered provisional; they may not solve your problem, or they may remove functionality that you find useful. If a third-party system modification that you want to keep is causing the problem, seek help from its developer.
2. WARNING: Back up all data now if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state, even if it becomes unbootable. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP — DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING. If you’re dissatisfied with the results of the procedure suggested below, restore from your backup. I will not be responsible for the consequences, and I will not be able to help, if you ignore this warning.
3. You should either remove or update the following system modification(s), if an update is available from the developer:
Parallels
and definitely remove at least the following:
Boom
† MacKeeper
† VirusBarrier
4. Whatever you remove must be removed completely, and (unless otherwise specified in this message) the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job. I can't be more specific, because I don't install such things myself. Please do your own research.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
Again, please don't ask me to do this research for you. You can do it better than I can, because I haven't installed the product and I may not even know what it is.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.
5. I recommend that you never reinstall the modifications marked with a dagger (†) above, if any. If your problem is resolved after uninstalling all the above modifications and rebooting, but you still want to use some of those not marked with a dagger, you can experiment with putting them back, one at a time, testing carefully after each step. Keep in mind that system modifications may be incompatible with each other or with future OS X updates, so it may not be clear which one is at fault.
6. If you still have problems after making the suggested changes and rebooting, post again. Remember: if you don’t like the results of this procedure, you can undo it by restoring from the last backup you made before you started.
Remove the "MacKeeper" crapware as follows.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions, nor do I intend to repeat the test.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Applications from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. A dialog will pop up asking why you want to uninstall it. You don't have to provide that information. Enter anything you like in the text box, then click the Uninstall button. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. That's the only useful feature of "MacKeeper:" it deletes itself. Reboot.
Do not try to uninstall by dragging the MacKeeper icon in the Dock or the LaunchPad to the Trash.
Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this kind of material is useless, or worse than useless.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

Error code 28773 was returned by the Audio driver.

After the Mountain Lion update on my mac, whenever I launch the GarageBand'09, I experience this Error Message : Error code 28773 was returned by the Audio driver.
It only has Continue as an option, so, I click on this "Continue" option, click on "Loop" option, click on any sound, for example Bass then click anything under the Bass option, this same error message pops up.
Please, someone help me out.
This is my email : [email protected] if you want to reach me via email.

Do you have any device drivers installed, for example Digi Design Audio Interface?
Make sure you have the latest versions of all audio drivers; you need sandboxed, 64-bit versions to run with Mountain Lion. Look at the web site of the manufacturer of your interface if there are newer drivers.

Error Code 25974 was returned by the Audio Driver - Logic/MBOX

Hi,
I know this question has been asked before but could not find a resolution to this problem.
I'm using a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012) with a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, using OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and running Logic Pro 9.
I've been using the AVID MBOX interface for some time now and it hasn't failed me yet, but today I received the error message 'Error Code 25974 was returned by the Audio Driver' when selecting it as the input/output device.
I'm not sure why this is now happening as the interface drivers are up to date and as I said, it was working earlier in the week when I last used it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bump,
This is only happening with one particular project ... I imagine it could have become corrupted somehow, yet I can still work on the project and edit it. I just can't bounce it! Any ideas as to what I can do?

Death of EAX and hardware audio announced!

I miss the old days of eax where it was like wall hack i would know the exact position where my opponent is standing! It was fun with you Creative from DOS gaming days with hardware 3d-midi and hardware mp3 decoding on win95,eax 1 on Quake 2 etc. Hope you survive!

As far as i know. only BF2 and then Prey support EAX5. Doom 3 supported EAX 4 and had the best quality and proper positional audio. Later everything is dead. Some game supported OpenAl which used hardware decoding but didn't make use of any extenstion such as reverb or eax's.Later it became a trend that users had to force hardware audio via configs eg:Batman:Arkham Asylam,Gears of War and Bioshock 2(all 3 unreal engine games). Now forcing hardware audio on Unreal engine 3 is completely disabled i.e we can turn on but game won't have sound yet the config still has the functions to enable and disable and to select the no.of hardware voices. I played Condemed:Criminal Origin's yesterday it was so scary with EAX 2.0 itself at the same time Dead Space 2 which uses software audio and surround is not even remotely close to the experience.
I really miss EAX and hardware decoding which has major benifits. I don't know what is Creative interesed in now :/
Bioshock was so good with EAX and Reverb. Every new game is pathetic sound except Rage. i don't know what they did in Rage but it has proper positional software audio and effects also seem to be very good with proper reverb effect and echo's depending on room size. In Rage console i saw some pxaudio which i think is using xaudio2 which supports many hardware techs. So i think here on its software and no need to purchase a sound card. Realtek and C-media has won thanks to Microsoft.

"39 was returned by the Audio driver."

So I was editing a podcast in Garageband on my macbook pro and it developed a problem with the power input and i had to transfer the file to my wives macbook air and looks ok until i try and play it, and i get a message saying "39 was returned by the Audio driver.".
All the loops play but i have no sound with the vocals and it keeps popping up the message every second.
My macbook pro as the latest up date Yosemite and i recorded the vocals on Audio Hijack.
My wives macbook air is still on Mavericks and does not have Audio Hijack. if that helps.

just to make it clear, i had not finished the edit and i just took the GB file from my mac to an external HD and then to my wife's mac and open the file straight to GB.
So GarageBand may not have saved the audio files and closed them properly?
Does the recorded audio file play, if you select the GarageBand project in the Finder and use the command "Show Package Contents"? And look at the audio files in the sub folder "Media > Audio Files" ?

Error - 5000 was returned by the audio driver

Out of nowhere I'm being constantly plagued by this annoying message in Logic 8.0.2 I haven't change anything in the past 2 weeks and was working fine all day yesterday.
Error - 5000 was returned by the audio driver. pops up and I have to clear it or I can't access the session. This has brought work to a standstill...
I've tried clearing out all the caches, disabling all background apps, repairing permissions, turned on the I/O buffer safety... nothing has helped. The only thing I haven't tried at this point is switching out to another interface...
System info
OS X 10.5.4
MacBook Pro 2.16 intel core 2 duo

Apogee Rosetta 800 interface
thanks,

Thanks for the responses guys.
The session is huge, and I called Apogee, at first we thought it might be a 3rd party plug-in. It's not...
I eventually noticed it happens in only certain sections of the song, and hadn't noticed there is a crash cymbal I pulled in which is playing from the server. I had logic copy the file to the local drive and now we're all good... Thankfully so too!
Funny thing is, This session has been playing fine with the file from the server for months. Also, all the permissions for the folders and files where the sample is are all set to read/write... <shrug> And why would this return an Audio Driver error? More apple permissions weirdness...
But at least it's fixed, Thanks for the help guys.
