Applescript - Audio MIDI Setup to match the track currently playing in iTunes.

I havent played with Applescript but assume this is possible?...
write a script to automatically change the sample rate in Audio
MIDI Setup to match the track currently playing in iTunes.
Audio MIDI Setup is not scriptable. It is possible to script non-scriptable applications using the UI, but how easy and how effective this is depends on the application.
The real problem is that AppleScript is not suited for the kind of task you have in mind. Basically, you want a daemon running in the background who either checks or receives notifications from iTunes and tells AMS to do something. This is something AppleScript does very poorly. IMHO you should look for something else.

How do I get my Built-in Mic to work in Audio MIDI setup, grayed out 1

My iMac is over a month old, and the first week I had it I tried to talk on Skype with a friend. My mic wouldn't work, and after making an Apple Care appointment with a local Mac store last weekend, we found out that the iMac DOES hear me, Dictation works with my voice, but for some reason Skype won't pick me up. Another program I sometimes use is Livestream Procaster, and neither pick up audio from me, oddly though they do pick up finger tapping on the desk, which is no further away from the computer than I myself am.
I Googled this issue with Skype and I found this page:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Apple-IMAC-Internal-Microphone/td-p/305172
It shows a screen capture using Audio MIDI Setup, and I opened mine to make sure everything was in order, but my CH: 1 & 2 are both grayed out, so I can't adjust them at all.
I have a screen capture of my window as well:
And I did check to make sure that my Interal Mic is selected in Skype, Livestream Procaster, and even my iMac's System Preferences. I wonder if it has something to do with this Audio MIDI Setup. I don't actually know, but from searching for solutions, this is the only thing that doesn't seem to match up with suggestions I've found online.
Thanks guys for any help.

I'm talking with a friend, and he says I'm muffled, and he can't understand me but can hear that I'm talking. When I turn on dictation to record what I'm saying he says I come through crystal clear.
The problem is I don't know if this is a Mac issue or a Skype issue. I was going to go to Skype, but when I found that page that I linked to above, that's what lead me to believe it's a Mac issue again because I can't get my Audio MIDI Setup to match the suggestion made by the user in that link.

Audio Midi Setup not responding

Hello Experts,
I have the following problem:
My Audio MIDI Setup is not responding. It starts but I have no control over it and have to force quit it to exit the application.
I have audio but I can't launch Logic Pro, Djay etc.
PLS HELP!

I used a RME Fireface 800. But I'm not using any external interface at all right now.
The situation is:
I had a Power Mac with Snow Leopard using Logic Pro. Bought a Mac Book Pro with Mountain Lion and installed my old environment via Time Machine on the Mac Book.
That might caused the conflict.
I spoke to an apple technician and he advised me to uninstall all applications using Audio MIDI Setup to bring the Setup back on track and then reinstall everything.
I did so but still can't launch the Audio MIDI Setup.
I was even thinking about uninstall the Audio MIDI Setup but I don't know how to reinstall it.

No multi-channel available with HDMI output in Audio MIDI Setup on Macbook Air mid-2011 !!!!!!!

Hi everybody !
I am currently facing some problem with seting up a surround sound system.
I looked everywhere on the web but i couldn't find any proper answer to this problem.
To sum up, i want to have a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound when i'm playing a movie (with an AC3 audio track obviously).
I have a Macbook Air 13" Core i7 connected to a SAMSUNG Plasma TV via an iWires thunderbolt -> HDMI cable (bought on the same time as the MBA). This TV is connected to an amp via an optical cable and this amp to a 5.1 system.
When i am going to Audio MIDI Setup to configure the HDMI output, i cannot select any multi-channel option, only stereo !!!!
Is someone has any idea how to solve this problem ? I am struggling a lot and spent hours on that without finding any solutions !
Thanks a lot for your time !

Hello ckkzzzle,
I was looking into the issue you are describing and think I have a great article to help troubleshoot it. The article is called Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573.
Start here, and work your way down as needed:
Check connections
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
If more than one video adapter is in use—or "daisy-chained"—troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
All the very best,
Sterling

IMac won't recognise USB MIDI keyboard in Audio MIDI Setup

I upgraded earlier in the week from a G4 eMac to a new Intel iMac. All appeared well until I tried to use my Evolution MK-361 USB midi keyboard from inside Logic. No midi events were coming through the system.
After some fiddling around I found the Audio MIDI Setup utility and the keyboard is not listed as a device in there. However, if I open System Profiler and select the USB information I can see that the keyboard is connected. According to the E-Magic web site this model of keyboard is class compliant and so shouldn't need a driver installed.
Originally I had the keyboard plugged into a USB hub. I've tried restarting the machine, restarting the machine with the cable plugged into different USB ports and different USB cables plugged into different USB ports. I've also downloaded all the latest OS / firmware / application updates and installed them.
I reconnected the keyboard to my old eMac and it shows up on there so I know it's not a fault in the keyboard itself.
The only other bits of gear connected to the machine are a Lacie external hard drive and my Saffire but these are firewire device so I wouldn't expect them to cause a problem (they certainly didn't on the eMac).
If anyone has any ideas I would seriously appreciate the help. As you can imagine I'm pretty gutted having forked out a grand for the machine.
Cheers
Jon
iMac (Intel) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Jon
So much for plug and play
Yeah, it's great isn't it?
I emailed M-Audio tech support about it and apparently it's a known problem in 10.4.8 and they're waiting for a fix from Apple. I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled for OS updates and go rummaging under the stairs for a midi cable instead.
Ho hum.

10.6.2 USB headphones problem + puzzling Audio Midi Setup workaround

After updating to 10.6.2, my Logitech USB headphones started behaving strangely -- on two separate machines (a 2006 MacBook and a 2009 Mac Pro), so it's not a fault with the computer.
Symptoms:
1. no sound in Skype
2. no sound in YouTube
3. sound, but low volume levels in iTunes when volume is at highest setting
Audio output from the headphone jack and internal speaker remained normal, with no problems.
I knew enough to fiddle with Audio Midi Setup, and discovered the following. The problems described above remained whenever the volume controls for channels 1 and 2 were equal.
The minute the volume controls were set to different levels for the two channels, sound reappeared -- and the greater the disparity, the louder the overall volume coming to both ears. For example setting channel 1 to 0.83 value/-1.00 dB and channel 2 to 1.00 value/3.00 dB produces an adequate volume level overall (though I suppose it is coming at the cost of an actual inequality between the two stereo channels).
Am I correct to assume that I have uncovered a bug here? I had no such problems before 10.6.1.
Unfortunately, I don't have a second pair of USB headphones to test whether that makes a difference.

Update to my own message: It's not necessary to go to Audio Midi Setup to see the effect. In the Sound preference pane as well, setting the balance dead center causes the sound to go to zero, but unbalancing it in favor of either the left or right brings the sound back -- the more unbalanced, the louder.
Furthermore, the balance control does not actually reduce the volume to either ear when moved to the left or the right. That is, with balance all the way to the left, I get louder volume...out of both ears.
No such problem when playing through the regular headphone jack.

Audio MIDI SetUp unexpected quits

HI,
Does anyone has experienced unexpected quits with Audio MIDI SetUp by simply clicking on the icons of IAC Driver,Network, new external device, etc?
This happens at random, some times it happens inmediately upon clicking(selecting)an item, most of the times nothing happens and everything is OK.
For those of you who understand the crash report., I would like to thank any insight on this issue:
Thanks in advance

Hi, Diazruanova.
1. You might try trashing the related preferences:• The file com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist in your Home > Library > Preferences folder.
• The file com.apple.MIDI.xxx.plist in your Home > Library > Preferences > ByHost folder, where xxx is an alphanumeric string2. I notice you have some Unsanity "haxies" installed. These often prove problematic. I suggest checking for updates, disabling them, or uninstalling them.
3. An errant Startup or Login Item maybe the cause. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
4. Immediately after the problem occurs, check the ends of these Console logs for clues, i.e. messages related to Audio Midi Setup other than the message indicating that it has written a crash report.
Good luck!

Command-line access to or counterpart to Audio Midi Setup?

Is there a way to access, or better yet, change, settings in Audio Midi Setup.app, via the command-line?

Sure. Retrieve the file ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.MIDI.*.plist via scp, edit it locally in PlistEditor or some such, and upload the revision. It's a binary plist, so you can't edit it in place.

How to configure Audio MIDI Setup?

How does one configure Audio MIDI Setup?
With every reboot of the system, the values revert to 44100.0 Hz, 2ch-24bit integer. I suppose these are the default values, but my most used software (Finale 2012) requires the Built-in Output to be set to 44100.0 Hz, 2ch-16bit integer. It is a real pain having to dig into the Utilities folder, boot the Audio MIDI Setup and reset the values every single day.
Is there a way I can make the required values stick through reboots or modify the default values? Thanks in advance!

Ok, this is pretty simple to fix. First of all, even if there's a breakout cable at the Firebox for both midi and S/PDIF, you're not connected on S/PDIF but on the midi in. This is not related to your problem but important to know.
Now, to the problem: you use two different interfaces: the Firebox and the computer built-in. Since those are two different drivers and Logic can talk to only one driver at once, you have to set-up an Aggregate Device in AMS. Open AMS, select the audio tab and from the audio menu, select Open Aggregate Device Editor. There, create a new device with both the Presonus and the built-in. Now, all you have to do is going back to Logic, open the audio preferences, select the drivers tab and select the aggregate device.

Audio MIDI Setup Issue -- "Thru" checkbox greyed out

I received my new PowerBook (DL Superdrive) last week and transferred my files from my old PB (the final 1GHz Titanium model) over the weekend. On my TiBook, I used to plug an analogue radio into the Line In port and Apple Pro speakers (via an iFire) into the Headphones port. I then ticked the "Thru" checkbox alongside the M(aster) Volume Slider in the Audio Input section of Audio MIDI Setup (even in Tiger, once I worked out where the checkbox was -- see <http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=740942>) to listen to the radio through the external speakers and control output volume using the keyboard's volume & mute keys.
Audio MIDI Setup on the new Powerbook has some differences, however, including:
1. In the Audio Input section, the M(aster) Volume Slider IS NOT greyed out, but the "Thru" checkbox on this line IS greyed out., and the 1 & 2 Volume Sliders ARE also greyed out.
2. Clock Source is "Internal Clock" rather than [greyed out] "Default".
The first of these differences has left me unable to set up my audio as I used to. Instead, I've had to run a non-Apple audio application, LineIn, in order to achieve the same result. The trouble with this is that I've also experienced the audio stuttering loop described in <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302978>, possibly as a result of this app running.
Two questions: First, does anyone have any idea how to get Audio MIDI Setup running on the new Powerbook as it did (does) on the TiBook, so that I can dispense with LineIn?
Second, do any of the other Powerbook owners with the audio stuttering problem have similar issues with Audio MIDI Setup -- is it a common factor/symptom/cause?
PB G4 15" 1.67GHz DL SuperDrive Mac OS X (10.4.4)

The audio stuttering issue was resolved by an OS X update shortly after I posted this message, but I never did resolve the other issue, and continue to use LineIn to this day (now on a MacBook Pro C2D.

Audio Midi Setup Sample Rate not Saving

Hi Folks,
I have Propellerhead Reason, Logic Express 8 and Line 6 gearbox running on my Macbook Pro, but every time I access the Audio/Midi Setup and change the sample rate to 48kHz, it reverts back to 44.1kHz whenever I restart my computer. It's absolutely driving me up the wall as none of my audio works (even in iTunes) until I reset it back to 48kHz. I've set all of my preferences in each of the apps to 48kHz, so I really don't understand why it's not saving in the A/M Setup. Oh, I have also tried deleting the library script for A/M Setup to let it generate a new one, but still no improvement.
Please can someone help?
Best,
Deac.

Mouse was attached to the wrong port.
When I removed the usb mouse cable from the computer and attached it to the keyboard port then attached the iMic cable directly to the computer--my Input suddenly made an appearance. *dances to the music*
Problem solved.

Annoyance with Audio Midi Setup and ports in Logic

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else is annoyed with the way midi ports are addressed in Logic, in relation to Midi control of various commands in Logic.
A simple case in point for me is when I have my Virus TI turned on, I have one set up of logic_cs preferences and another for when my Virus TI is turned off. The only around this is to double up on the settings within the controller assignments window.
So you buy a new piece of external midi kit and all of a sudden all your previously setup controllers stop working..... So you have to re-enter them all again one by one.
Sometimes adding or removing a device, doesn't affect it at all... Just depends on the order of the ports on the physical input (in the environment).
If you could rename the ports in the Audio Midi Setup and change the order in which they appear, you might have some control over the random nature of the problem.
Has anyone else run into this, or am I the only bothering with it?
Matt

It's a well documented and long outdated situation.

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB) is working with this USB device without any problem

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

I need to upgrade my 10.5.1 os on my G4/1.25 (I'm having some audio-midi setup problems), but it's a machine that is not connected to the internet. Do I have any options? Thanks!

Friends,
I'm having some audio-midi setup problems on my G4/1.25/10.5.1 machine. I'm thinking that a routine OS upgrade might help. However, this machine is not connected to the internet. Are there any alternate methods for upgrading system software? Thanks in advance!

OK, what you should do is download the updates on another machine and burn them to a disc. Start at this link http://support.apple.com/downloads/#leopard for downloads and find, among other things, the 10.5.8 combo updater that works on PPC machines, plus security, QuickTime and other updates. Going from 10.5.1 to 10.5.8, there will probably be a bunch of things that you should install. Being off the internet with the machine, you can't have Software Update sort it out, so something might get missed, unfortunately.
My suggestion is this: if it looks like you might need a download, get it onto that disc.

How can I get my audio input and output devices back? I have no sound and cannot see any of the devices in Audio MIDI Setup..??

Hi, I tried to set up a new output audio device on my mac that would have multiple outputs (iBox Twist speaker and my internal speaker) but when I went to click onto one of the iBox Twist (there were 2 options available: iBox Twist and iBox Twist Stereo), Audio MIDI Setup crashed and when I finally got that back open, I found that there were no audio input or output devices to be found. My sound is working, as when I turn on my iMac, the starting sound still plays, however the volume control in the menu bar is no longer a black colour, but grey and when I try to change the sound on my keyboard it does not change. This already happened to me once, and after 3 hours I managed to fix it very simply (switching off Mac, unplugging power cord, leaving for 15 seconds, plug power cord back in and switch Mac back on, holding Alt, Cmd, P and R keys until you hear the Starting Up sound twice) however this same technique that fixed it once before is not working this time and I am still stuck without sound. I have tried Repair Permissions, rebooting in Safe Mode, Hardware Test and checking for Software Updates. Has anyone else had this problem and managed to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me!

In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
Switch off Mac
Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
Switch off Mac again
Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.
