Audio Cards

Does anyone have any experience with audio cards for 5.1 to 7.1 surround sound for a G5. Also, i can't get the optical out to work through a standard receiver. The normal audio jack does work.

I don't know about any cards, but as for the Digital Output, have you checked your Sound settings? Perhaps it is not set properly?

  • Which audio cards can be bus powered using the Thunderbolt to firewire adapter ?

    Hi
    I was surprised to hear that the new TB to FW adapter let pass only 7W maximum, when the official Firewire specifies 7W _minimum_. On paper this means that my RME FireFace400, for example, can't be bus powered any more since it needs 13 w.
    I think a list of TB > FW adapter compatible audio cards would be useful for all potential MB Air and MBP Retina users who are not ready to carry external batteries all the time

    Using the Ultralite with FW-TB adapter here without issue... with or withou external power.. though admittedly i use with with an external power supply 90% of the time.
    So, check the adaptor itself.. Some of them have been reported as having loose connections.. when plugged into the Mac... so shut down your MBP (Important to do this.. don't just restart it or put it to sleep) take the adaptor itself out of the back of the Mac... and reinsert. Wait at least 2 minutes (Also important..)  and then start Mac up and it should reset and be back to normal operation.
    If that doesn't work.. try doing a full PRAM reset too...

    No idea about Win 8 because i don't use it... but it does work fine with Win 7 and the correct drivers... Just make sure you install/update to the latest Boot Camp (Don't even think about trying to use Audio stuff via any of the Windows emulators/virual rigs....such as VMware Fusion for example.. You are asking for lots of trouble trying that...) and it's drivers.. for the FW to TB adapter to be properly recognised by Win 7...

  • How can I use OnBoard+Aditional audio cards at the same time? !!! BIOS PROBLEM !!!

    I want use both audio cards. The On-board audio + SoundBlaster Audigy. Because I have mp3 player mp3tunes ( from http://www.mp3tunes.nl ) that is able play on both audiocards at the same time. It is good for DJ. One audiocard is for pre-listen.
     But in BIOS is possible set only disable or auto-detect.   When I set autodetect, then OnBoard audiocard is automaticaly disabled if there is another audiocard.  Please tell me, what can I do for enable both audiocards ?

    It's been awhile but as I promised here is my update:
    I purchased an E-MU 1820m Pro Audio interface several months ago and ran it in my system for some time with the onboard audio disabled. Since this audio system is mainly for mid/high end audio production making use of low latency and up to 192mhz sample rates & 20/18 i/o then it is a bit of an overkill for using it for general multimedia & games so I thought I would place my c-media pci card back in and enable the onboard setting & see if the two systems would run ok together.
    I first made sure that I uninstalled the e-mu card & then put the onboard card back in & installed the drivers. I then installed the E-MU, making sure that it wasn't sharing an IRQ with my 9600 pro like it originaly did on the first slot. So after installing that and the IRQ's were looking good I tested it all out and the results after two weeks have been perfect. I use the C-Media audio with the WDM drivers and use it for general audio & multimedia while I use the E-MU card with the E-MU ASIO 2 drivers and I use this with my audio production programs like Sonar, FL Studio & native Instruments Battery & Traktor.
    Conclusion: Yes you can run a pro audio system as well as the onboard sound card with the MSI 865 Neo2 FIS2R.

  • External Usb Audio Card Popping and Cracking sound with Satellite L500

    Greetings,
    My name is Boyan and I am from Bulgaria and about an year ago I've bought a satellite laptop from the l500 series ( i can not state which exactly is the model at the moment because my computer is not currently with me and on my user manual the only thing which is stated is that it is for L500/L505/ L500D / L505D . But by memory I think it was the Satellite L500D-ST5506 which is currently not at my dispossal because I gave it for repair for the same problem which I will state down below)
    The problem with my laptop is that when I plug a Usb Audio card in my laptop I have a cracking sound when live sound is played trough the speakers/headphones from the external card. I've tried numerous audio cards and speakers/headpohnes which work perfectly fine with other computer, including laptops but the same problem keeps on showing up in the headphones/speakers of my laptop when I am using an external audio card to connect them to the laptop.
    The problem is prominent only when the sound signal passes trough an external audio card and it is very annyoing since I use my laptop to create music and i've bought an expenssive audio card and speakers which can not be used with the laptop. I've tried 3 models of audio cards:
    M-Audio Fast Track Pro
    Behringer uca 222
    and a simple external 3d sound usb audio card and the problem still appears.
    At first I thought that the problem should be software and I should install new drivers although windows 7 automaticaly recognizes and intalls the drivers for the devices and I have sound in them (but with cracks and popps) so i tried using the official drivers sold to me with the audio cards but with no luck: The problem was still there. I tried finding new drivers of the audio cards on the official distributors websited and i've downloaded them but the problem was still there. Then i tried to delete every audio driver on my computer and just use the external audio card for sound but this dint help eighter. I've updated my drivers for my build-in audio card as well but again - no luck.
    After that.the frist thing I did when (2 weeks after i bought the laptop) was to contact the store from which i bought my audio card and they stated that the problem may be eighter latency or high voltage from the laptop so they adviced me to try to lower the latency from the settings or to try and see if the problem remains if my laptop is only running on battery. I've tried both things and they didn't help. The audio cards worked without a problem on every other computer I've tried them on except mine. So they said to me that the problem couldnt possibly be from the audio cards .
    What I did next was I gave my laptop to the official distributor of toshiba in my country so they can fix my problem. What they said to me was that the problem is caused from the version of windows which was pre-installed on my laptop and that it wasnt compitable with the audio cards (which was bizzar sounding because I've tried them on the same windows and they've worked, just on other computers). So I got back my laptop and changed my operating sistem from Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit to Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64bit to Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 32bit and on all of those versions the problem was there: whenever I activate a Usb Audio Card and audio signal passes trough it I heard cracks and popps. I even tried isntalling Windows XP but the laptop wants spesific SATA drivers for the installation of Windows XP which although i did find - they didnt help me install XP and I didn't want to go in to the BIOS of the computer to try to put a new one and so on because I am not so sure about that and I could lose my warranty so I said to the official repair store for Toshiba in my town to put XP on my computer to fix the problem but they can't because they are not liscened to operate with software which doesn't have a recipt for its purchase ( which i didnt because i bought my windows xp long ago and i've lost the recipt)
    I gave it for repair for the second time telling them that the change of my operating system did not solve my problem and what they did was they changed the whole motherboard on my computer, stating that the build in realtek audio device on my computer is not good enough to support an usb audio card or it maybe broken and they have to change the whole motherboard because the build in card is glued to it, so they did that but my problem wasn't solved. They told me that although I am using and external usb audio card the signal still passes trough my internal one and I have to disable it so i tried disabling it trough the control panel but this did not solve the problem and i do not have an option from BIOS to disable my build-in audio card. Another thing which I thought maybe causing the problem is that the two audio cards aren't working on the same bit rate and Hertz so I set both cards to 16 bit 48000hz DVD Quality (Also tried other options on the 3 cards i have) but...the same thing happend.
    They told me that this is just my luck and that the build in audio card doesn't support this external audio cards and I should had been more careful when choosing my laptop at first.
    I couldn't accept this awnser for several reasons:
    1) This audio cards work on lower version of windows and are supported by much older models of Realtek and much older computers (one of them was bought 2000!!!!! and my laptop is from 2010!!)
    2) The guys who were fixing the problem apperantley didn't go in so deep in to my problem because they didn't know what actually the problem was they just knew that there is a problem with the audio card and the computer interacting with eachother, they didnt know that there is cracking during live play from the external audio card.
    3) I can not accept the fact that Toshiba is manufacturing models with chipset audio cards which can not support a simple external Usb Audio Card. This is totally unacceptable for me and I truly hope this is not the case!
    4)They didn't try my audiocards on an other laptop from the same series stating that they do not have one at their dispossal at the moment so I will go tomorrow to a local store and try the audio cards by my self on the same computer in the store.
    What I did now was I gave back my laptop for repair asking for a statement of the problem in wrtting with all details of the problem so I can go to court or ask for a new laptop but I will be charged with some money because according to them there is no problem in the laptop and the problem is that my external audio cards arent compitable with the build in internal chipset audio card. If I give my laptop for repair and there is no hardware problem I will have to pay some money. I will do this but I am now mad, since this will not solve my problem and I am loosing time and money.
    What I am asking here is, if you can not help me solve my problem and advice me what to do to fix it, please provide me the details of the chipset build in audiocard on my motherboard, so i can investigate if it is compitable with my external audio cards and contact the audio card dealers to ask them for their opinion. Or if you can tell me with what it is compitable with and with what not, it would be great. I personally think that this laptop should have no problems at all with running a simple external usb audio card but I am asking you, if you know something more about that.
    If the problem is from the build in chipset then Toshiba is manufacturing (or at least selling) audiocards which aren't at a normal standart but sadly I cant do nothing about it except complain to Toshiba and never deal whith such productgs anymore. In the other case if this is not true, then my laptop has a problem which is different and I will have to go to court with the repair mans for not fixing my laptop or not giving a new one when I have warranty which will not be Toshiba's fault and It will in a way solve my problem.
    I hope you understand how Important this is for me and I hope I resolve the problem as soon as possible.
    P.S
    I would like to state that I am well aware of the grammar mistakes I have made in the text below and I would like to ask for your apologies as I am not a native English language speaker.

  • Could not detect Sound Blaster Audio Card on xp sp2 Sys

    I have Audigy Platinum and trying to install to a recently re-installed windows xp sp2 system. On my previous install everything was working fine and now I am looking to install the newest drivers and the error comes up [color="#ff3300">"could not detect Sound Blaster Audio Card on system". The strange thing is windows recognizes the card and will install it's drivers, but when I go to install the latest driver update I get the error. In addition, I also tried to run the install from my original disk.
    I also?un-installed the devices showing? in the windows device manager, then tried and the same error, I even tried it in safe mode. Any ideas?Thanks and Advance,Mikel

    Yes i think the real lesson here is not to buy creative,. i have the same problem with their junky card, so i guess ill just have to take buisness somewhere else. if you all do the same perhaps the threat of them going out of buisness will have them deal with their problems. if not atleast we saved others the headache of learning this lesson.

    Ho to disable (Built in) Audio card in MacBook Pro?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The only thing that I might suggest is to plug a lone Toslink miniplug adapter into the audio port. This activates the digital audio. The digital audio shuts off within a few seconds if there is no audio signal being routed through the port.

  • Audio Card cannot be found

    Audio Card cannot be foundi I just realized that I have lost all audio. I could use some help trouble shooting the issue. I have a Dell Dimension 900 w/ a Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS audio card. I run Vista Home Premium w/ SP2. There have been no recent hardware or software additions (or removal) . I run "Creative Diagnostics" and receive a message that the audio card cannot be found on the system. Device Manager indicates the device is working properly. Media Player displays and displays visualization. Volume Mixer displays sound. I have reset the audio card on the mother board I have reset the speaker connections. I have checked speaker with a second source I have checked and set speaker volume. Power to speakers is on. Speakers are not in "mute" mode. I have verified that I am using the most current driver for the audio card (no change from exisiting driver).

    I uninstalled the device through device manager and then reiinstalled the driver - same symptoms.

  • What audio card do you recommend for a CS4 Win 7x64 system?

    The on board Microsoft High Deffinition Audio is very limited and i can't adjust record levels. Also the output levels are very low that I feed to my Mackie board with the output level adjusted to max. I am using the HDVsplit to capture my video which is great, but the audio level is so low I have to increase each clip by 15 to 20 db (pain to have to do this on every clip). There are no record levels to adjust with HDVsplit, so this may be where the problem lies. If this is the case, got any suggestions?
    I know the recorded levels are fine on the HDV tape. I have another system that is Win 7x64 with CS4, with a Matrox RTX2 card and a SB Audiogy card and I have no issues with audio record or playback levels. So, I am guessing that a new, good audio card is what I need. Suggestions?

  • How to uninstall and reinstall my audio card driver for iMac

  • Should I add separate audio card to use with Audition & Premiere

    Should I add a separate audio card? I am using a production premium and for now I using the on board sound card which is a 5.1 Realtek.  First I am no pro but do like editing events etc. Is there advantage dis-advantage?  Also will be using Audition.   If it is better to get audio card which one?

    Many on-board audio chips are very good, so long as their driver support is also very good. If not, then ASIO4All is often a viable option.
    Separate audio cards, and devices might offer advantages to some users, but all are not trouble-free. I would test extensively your Realtek chip, and see how things go. If you have any issues (PrPro and Audition), then consider and test the free ASIO4All driver. If you are still coming up short, then perhaps something from M-Audio, or similar, would be a good investment - but only if your Realtek chip does not do the job for you.
    Just my observations from my personal experiences.
    Good luck,

  • Audio card vs DAQ card AI16XE-50

    hi,
    I use labview 5.1 and acquire data from line in port using sound VIs.Can somebody help me with comparison of audio cards and the above card AI 16XE 50? The SI was configured as mono , 11025 , 16 bit which I assume means sampling at 11025 hz. The PCMCIA compatible DAQ card( 16 bit ) is expected to sample at 20 Ks/s ( I am not sure if it is 200Ks/s if I use only one differential channel ). My Q is
    Can I use the DAQ card instead of the audio card and not degrade the performance.
    The sound card is PnP compatible ,made by ESS technology Inc. and has the following driver: ES1689.VXD.
    Any help is appreciated.
    thanks
    ananth

    Ananth,
    A typical sound-card (don't know about your model) is not designed with T&M applications in mind, but for adding audio functionality to a PC.
    This is a consumer/game market where specifications can often not be taken for granted.
    A DAQ card is intended for T&M applications and is designed for that application (in this case 16 bit resolution measurements).
    However, theory is not always as it is in real life.
    Test both cards yourself and possibly help the LV community by publishing your findings.
    Oh, yes, I think the DAQcard is better aspecially for DC measurements.
