Amplitube Audio delay on HDMI, Speakers OK

Hi everyone,
I'm using a mac mini (2011) as a media center and is hooked through HDMI to a 50" LG. Everything is working great with no issues, but yesterday I plugged my guitar and started using Amplitube.
I've noticed a delay between my playing and the audio output in my tv. I've tried to switch audio setting to internal speakers and it's working great, no delay at all.
Any idea of what would be the problem with the audio through HDMI?
Thanks!

Did it ever work? If it did, you could try System Restore.
Try using System Restore to restore a previous restore point from before this became an issue.
System Restore - Windows 7
If that doesn't fix it, you could do a system recovery.
Recovering your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system recovery will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide.
If it's a new laptop and it never worked, I would try returning it.
If returning it isn't an option, you can't solve your issue, and no one in the community can help, you can try contacting support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 457-7777.

Separate audio sources for HDMI and optical?

Hi there,
I'm setting up an Apple TV 2nd gen for my parents. I want to set it up in the following way:
How do I set it up so that when they're watching Netflix (or whatever), audio comes through HDMI, but when they're using airplay wirelessly with the iPad, audio comes through the optical cable? Currently, it's an all or nothing kind of thing... without the optical cable plugged in, EVERYTHING plays through HDMI. But when we plug in the optical cable, EVERYTHING plays through optical.
The way their A/V receiver is set up is that the HDMI port is on zone 1, where the speakers are in the bedroom, and optical is set up for zone 2, which goes to the speakers on the back porch, so obviously they don't want audio going out there when they're watching videos.

No, just that the sales guy at the Apple Store said this could be done. Ah well, pretty much par for the course for Apple products. They work how most people want them to work (or more specifically, how Steve wanted them to work), but the minute you need to do something that's slightly out of the ordinary, you're pretty much out of luck, because they give end users so little control over anything.

Multiple Audio out: usb dac audio out and hdmi out

Good afternoon everyone, I have a 2010 mac mini with the following audio set up.
- A usb dac (xtreamer) connected to my stereo amplifier
- an Hdmi cable to the tv to get video and audio diretcly to the tv
Is it possibile by any chance to get simoultanesly audio output both from usb audio out and hdmi audio out???
In "midi preference panel" I tried to create a "virtual" sound card but i am not able to get sound simoultanesly. or via hdmi, or via usb.
this is quite disappointing because if I want to listen to music with the amplifier and then watching a simple video with mac mini and tv only I need to go back to the audio preferences and set up manually each time.
Is it possible to solve this issue???
Thanks a lot and gretings from Italy

I can select ATV audio out (Airplay setting) to either my Airport Express or my computer so it must be transmitting via airplay. Using a combination of Airserver, Airfoil and Airfoil Speakers I managed to get the ATV audio content on both my PC and my Airport Express at the same time but it cuts out the ATV audio.
My aim is to have a movie on ATV transmitting the Audio to ATV AND my stereo (which is hooked up to the Airport Express).
Cheers

Trying to find a way to inject digital audio into an HDMI path

There are lots of DVI to HDMI connection options out there, but I have yet to see one that allows one to incorporate digital audio into the HDMI path. Given that there are lots of early adopter video-only HDMI components out there that will be looking for a way to inject a digital audio feed into the HDMI path, so that a monitor can play HDMI video and digital audio natively, instead of either opting for analog audio (where it is available) or being stuck with no way to get audio to follow, one would think that there would be a big market for that sort of a device...
This gets a bit trickier with the Mac Mini when one considers that in order to have access to the TOSLINK, you are functionally locked into either using TOSLINK exclusively, or buying a TOSLINK splitter and then downconverting one of the splits to analog.
One would THINK that it would be in Apple's best interest to make a DVI to HDMI adapter available that would have a TOSLINK cable to plug in to inject the digital audio natively, so the whole thing would be seamless... it would be a very Apple sort of way to deal with it... but that doesn't seem to be in the cards at this point.
Any thoughts/suggestions/death threats?

As an aside I had hoped by now Apple as supposedly a seller of multimedia products might have switched to using HDMI as standard. It looks like they eventually might switch to using "DisplayPort".
Anyway, there are converters that will do what you want. Have a look at this as an example
http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=3570
Before this particular one shipped their pre-launch information (and pictures) said it would support TOS-Link (which is what Macs use) but when it actually became available it was only for SPDIF.
However since then I have come to a realisation that these converters are probably a waste of time anyway. If you are going to connect directly to a TV which has HDMI then using such an adapter is not necessary because the TV itself only has stereo speakers so using a DVI-HDMI cable plus a mini-jack to pair of phono connectors will work as well even if it needs two separate sets of cables. If on the other hand you are going to connect the Mac mini via an AV Receiver, then all such AV Receivers can accept a DVI or HDMI video signal, and a TOS-Link audio signal and then pass the video out to a TV and the audio out to a set of 5.1 speakers. In effect the AV Receiver itself is such a converter.
This latter approach is the one I intend to use.
If you really do want to consider this approach then there are such converters, even ones which do support TOS-Link connections. A bit of Googling will show them up. In the mean time the one listed below
http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=4298
would do what you want and also includes a 'scaler' to increase the resolution up to 1080p. This one has two HDMI and TOS-Link inputs. With a Mac mini you would use a DVI to HDMI cable and a TOS-Link cable, it would then output via a standard HDMI cable. It even looks a bit like a Mac mini.
However when you look at the price you can see you may as well use a full-blown upscaling AV Receiver like a Onkyo or Denon.

Is audio output via HDMI and componet cables possible?

When I watch movie I want audio through my TV speakers (via HDMI). That way I can control the volume through my TV remote.
When the TV is off and when I want to listen to music, i want audio to go to my Creative Labs "stereo" via audio component cables.
Is it possible to have both HDMI and audio component cables plugged in at the same time? to different sources and both outputting audio (not at the same time)?
thanks

Yes, audio will do this video won't.

No audio in an external speakers.

I am connecting MacBook Pro to a flat screen TV, using DVI/HDMI cable. I am getting good video but no audio. In the system preferences/Sound/Output, the only option I see is "Internal Speakers". How do I get audio from the TV speakers?
I appriciate your help.

To my knowledge the Displayport to DVI adaptor does not carry sound.
Your best bet is to run audio out from your mac to the TV's audio in.
note that this can be either analog, or optical as the ports in newer macs combine both functions.

Wow headset audio delay

hello
i am currently using mac os x mountain lion (clean install) with support team updated drivers (drivers on the website are not working so they sent me modified ones) but i have a audio delay issue. i.e. when i shoot the sound is coming after fire like 100ms. its a little delay but it already ruins my game experience. please help me to fix it. By the way when i am using built in speakers or even airplay speakers its all normal and there is no delay at all
wow headset wired

The headset works for me... but the control panel does not.
I get this error:
None of the features work. Not EQ, not voice FX, not THX - NOTHING.
And there is no way to clean uninstall to reinstall the drivers - I am having to manually sniff around the system folder... Try and resintstall - same issue.
Is there not a Beta Driver we can try and help with?
Cause this is an expensive failure right now.

Problem with audio of my notebook. Audio works through pc speakers and earphones at the same time

Hi all,
thanks in advance for your advices.
I have a problem with my notebook (HP pavilion g6 2305 sl).
The problem is that when I connect my earphones the audio of my pc don't stop, hence I can hear (music, film, ...) both by earphones and speakers at the same time.
I tried to install again the latest driver audio, but nothing was changed.
I tried to use another pair of earphones, but nothing.
I have noted that if I connect the Jack at my pc, but not until the end, the audio stops from the speakers and goes through the earphones, but only if the jack is not completly inserted in the notebook.
I read a lot of forum on the web but I'm not able to find a solution for my problem.
(ps. the problem comes out suddenly, without any signal. I don't have installed any update or new software before the problem's start)

Right click on speaker icon, lower right screen.
Choose playback devices.
Select "speakers and headphones" as your default.
Disable "communications headphones".

Audio out from HDMI port?

I have connected my TV and Booklet via a standard HDMI cable. This same HDMI cable works fine with my DVD player. When I use it with my booklet, only video seems to be sent to the TV via the HDMI cable. Is the HDMI out port supporting only video, or audio as well? I understand the booklet supports HDMI 1.2, which should support an audio profile, as far as I know.
Let me know if you have been able to get audio to work over HDMI.
thanks,
John

I found your discussion attempting to find the answer to the same question.
I won 5 of these things at auction and wanted HDMI to be a selling point
I researched far and wide and now I think I have the answer now.
I had to reload the OS and all the drivers for all 5 units
I read some of the replies to this topic and with some people saying that they had audio and I didn't, I felt that either I was crazy or someone is not truthful. so i had a thought ,
after about the 3rd unit I tried to just try to hook it up to a TV bare without Nokia updated software
What do you know, it worked.
So I have come to the conclusion based upon using both units after testing them with and without the update, is with the stock driver provided, you will get the audio from the HDMI port; if you update the software from the updater(which I noticed it says the driver is MANDATORY)
You will not.
There is a plus and minus on both occassions
With the graphics driver update you can scale your video once hook to an HDTV to full 1080p HD; but you wont get any audio (at least for now)
Without the update you will get the audio out , however you will only get the same native resolution as the netbook 720p
So contemplate which feature is more important you and make your choice.
Higher picture quality(full HD) with the driver yet I need 2 cable (HDMI AND 2.5 to RCA)
OR lower resolution720p but audio as well
I hope this helps but i see my next challenge for both you and is to see if we can roll back the driver if we want audio over HDMI.

USB Dock 3.0 Audio through DVI-HDMI cable?

Hey there!
I currently own the yoga 2 pro and I am looking for a suitable dock. One thing that prevented me from ordering the usb 3.0 dock was that I am not sure whether with a DVI to HDMI cable I am able to get audio from my laptop to a TV.
For better understanding: Laptop -> USB 3.0 -> USB 3.0 Dock -> DVI -> HDMI -> TV
I asked my local retailer and they said it isn't possible but I am not sure whether they tested my method. They said I'll be needing a seperate audio jack cable -.- ugly... with my old 460 GTX I was able to transmit sound with the same DVI/HDMI cable
Can anyone who owns the USB 3.0 dock confirm that audio through DVI-HDMI cable to a TV is working / not working?
Any help is appreciated!
Greetings

DVI won't carry audio on the ThinkPad USB 3.0 dock.

Audio/video out of sync (audio delay) with PowerBeats wireless earphones.

I am having a problem with audio/video sync between my PowerBeats Wireless earphones with my MacPro and MacBookPro. I have tried pairing, playing the video, pausing the video, turning off the PowerBeats, tuning the PowerBeats on, then starting the video playback again. I have the same audio delay so this not working for me. Anyone have an update as to how to fix this audio/video sync problem?

I am playing MPEG-4 movie files. I did open MPlayerX from my dock, then pulled down File to select Open which then did show the folder where these movie files are stored. Then I was able to select a movie file, open it, and use "Decrease Audio Delay" to closely sync the audio with the video. I say closely because it is not perfect. Rather than stepping each increase or decrease in one tenth of a second, perhaps a finer adjustment would have been in milliseconds. This is the adjustment that I have with my AVR to sync the audio with the video, so I know this is a possible increment adjustment. The perfect adjustment was in between -0.4 and -0.5 second,however, this was not possible in one tenth second adjustments. The closest adjustment was with -0.4 second rather than with -0.5 second. So, adjustments in milliseconds could have been very near a perfect sync. Perhaps later versions of MPlayer will offer the adjustment selection in milliseconds. Nevertheless, this is working much, much better than before. Thank you so much. I have spent most of this day researching this problem and you have come up with by far the best solution. This problem goes all the way back to 2010 and possibly beyond for Apple products. There are hundreds of reports documenting out of sync audio/video issues with no solution that works as well as MPlayerX. Even the Beats support staff have no idea of how to resolve the audio/video out of sync.

I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously

I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously.
I seem to be able to select one or the other, but not both ? !
Thanks

No. You can only use one sound output:
Why can't I select HDMI audio on my Mac mini?
If you connect an HDMI display or television to a Mac mini (Mid 2010 or later), you might not be able to select the HDMI audio device (in System Preferences > Sound > Output). This can happen if you also have headphones plugged in to the computer. Unplug the headphones to be able to select HDMI audio.

Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

Mini Display supports Audio out on HDMI?

Hi,
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3065
This tells that mini display supports audio out for hdmi. Does this apply for MBA?
I can read english pretty well so for those who wants to tell me the article states Macbook (13inch mid 2010) is not MBA, the product description states that moshi mini display supports audio out and MBA.
Some genius bar folks please advise.

Hi,
a loong look at the product desrciption here http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1824ZM/A?mco=MTgxMzM1NzE shows some '*' at "audio support".
And the '*' then clearly states that *Audio support is only available for MacBook Pro 13/15/17-in. mid-2010 release; iMac 21.5/27-in. early-2010 release".
So video with it and a MBA => yes ; audio with it and MBA => no.
Regards
Stefan

G62-a50sf : (only) audio out over HDMI?

We have a G62-a50sf notebook at my gf's place that we'd like to use as the source for a (somewhat) audiophile audio set-up. One possibility to get better-than-headphone-output into a good receiver AND avoid using a separate DAC would be to feed the digital audio output over HDMI to the receiver.
The question I'm hoping to get an answer to is: will this be possible while retaining video output on the laptop's own screen?
thanks in advance,
René

Sorry, but your Mac doesn't send sound over HDMI, only mid-2010 and later MBP's send sound (and even then some require different adapters). Yours is a 2009 MBP, so only video will go over the HDMI cable. You will need to run audio from the audio out to your TV or digital audio out from your optical audio out to your receiver.
