Audio Hardware Setup freezes Audition

Hello!  I've been using Audition 3.0 with a 64-bit Windows 7 machine for quite a while but suddenly whenever I want to open Audio Hardware Setup menu the spinning circle appears and Audition stops working.
I've wracked my brain to think of what might have changed but I'm still using the same audio device that I've always used (Edirol UA-101 primarily).  Does anyone have any ideas?  I'd be grateful if something comes to mind.  Thank you!

Just a long shot. Have you tried shrinking Audition to the task bar to see if another small Windows popup was hidden behind it with some info about your audio hardware?

  • AA3 keeps losing Audio Hardware Setup settings...

    I work in a broadcast center with a number of AA3 machines that keep losing their Audio Hardware Setup settings. It keeps switching from the LynxONE drivers to Audition 3.0 Windows Sound. I can find no documentation on this.
    I've found that the trigger is when AA3 has "release ASIO driver in background" NOT checked, and the user minimizes it and plays something from another audio program. Then they have to go in and set it back again before AA3 will pass audio again.
    Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
    Thanks.

    In the Options menu. Device Properties. Then you have tabs for Wave In and Wave Out amongst others. Also you may need to also set Device Order from the same Options menu.

  • Audio Hardware Setup problem

    Hello everyone, heres another mystery. Recently I had to uninstall my sound card driver( I use a Asus Xonar D1 Audio). After downloading it again I cant get Adobe to work. The problem is I cant get both speakers to play. When I go to the audio hardware setup in Adobe, I get this in the output box:
    Stereo: L,Ls,C,Lb
    or
    Mono:L,R,Ls,Rs,C,Sub,Lb,Rb
    I can only select one of the options and therefore only one speaker works. If I select L, then I only get sound from the left speaker, R-right speaker etc.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    First I did what you said and it didnt work, so i played around whith the inputs and outputs in ASIO4ALL and then I tried your way again and...oh yeah.
    Man you just made my day...well...evening(my day was full of stress) and if I could, I would get you a beer
    Thanks man

  • Any perfect audio hardware setup with the new Macbook Pro?

    I'm still not sure if to go for the new Macbook Pro 2.8 ghz, or the 6 months earlier 2.5 ghz model (march 2008).
    I love to go for the new Macbook Pro, but I'm not sure about my setup. Now I have:
    - extern 7200 rpm bus powered LaCie firewire 800 hard drive
    - Saffire with firewire 400 (thinking about moving to Apogee Duet)
    Will the express card really help? I've read that if you connect a firewire 400 device to the express card, the firewire 800 won't work at 800 speed, but at 400? Also that a bus powered hard drive doesn't work, and that it needs it's own power to run with the express card?
    Bottom line:
    What would be the perfect audio hardware setup with the new Macbook Pro? I gladly invest in a different audio interface (or anything else) if it really fits and works as pro audio setup!

    I've read that if you connect a firewire 400 device to the express card, the firewire 800 won't work at 800 speed, but at 400?
    I don't think this is right. As I understand it, the advantage of having one of your devices on an express card slot is specifically so it is on its own bus.
    Then both devices will operate on their own speed.
    However, this is true for the older model Macbook Pros when you use both FW ports that are built in, because even though the machine has two ports, they each feed one firewire bus. So if you have a device plugged into each port, the one plugged into the 800 will only run at 400 speed because they're both on the same bus. Using an express card means both devices can operate at their own speed.
    If you want the newer machine I think you should get it. Then you can buy a firewire 400 express card, plug your interface into that, and plug your FW 800 drive into the main firewire port. This will give you better performance from your peripherals than an older machine with both devices plugged into the built in FW ports.
    Good Luck!

  • Audio Hardware Setup

    Hello,
    I am trying to use Audition 3 and I am encountering great difficulty configuring my audio hardware. I have recorded successfully on Cool Edit 2 very recently, so I am certain that my equipment is wired correctly and functional.
    I am running an M-Audio Preusb on Windows 7 Home Premium. I am not sure which soundcard to use and I have experimented with both the M-Audio USB ASIO as well as the ASIO4All with unsatisfactory results.
    When I use ASIO4All there is no sound recorded, but this is the only audio driver which allows me to even get that far.
    When I try to use the M-Audio I get this screen but I am not sure what it means.
    I have my sample rate set to 512 in the ASIO control panel but apparently messing with the slider doesn't make a difference as I get the same pop up no matter what.
    I try to switch USB ports and get this pop up:
    I am clueless about what to do at this point and I would appreciate any advice given.
    Thank you.

    Not too sure if I can help.  I'm having a fair bit of trouble trying to record also, but if you have an asio driver on your system you may have to put this in your windows system32 or 64 folder (depending on your OS).  The asio driver should tell you what to do.  When I had done this, I clicked on the icon for this asio driver and the configuration box came up and I had to highlight what I wanted to use .
    I now have my sound back but can't monitor what I'm recording.

  • Imac 10.8.4 Audio Hardware Setup

    Dear all
    I am trying to connect an external mic (AKG  C 2000 B) to the new imac 2013 with osx 10.8.4
    I have:
    1. XLR cable.
    2. Apple Fire wire to thunderbolt adapter.
    3. 400 to 800 Fire wire cable.
    4. M audio Firewire 410 (no drivers for 10.8.4).
    5. M audio Audio Buddy dual mic preamp direct box. (+ power supply) (http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/AudioBuddy.html)
    My plan was to use the firewire 410 but alas there are no working drivers for 10.8.4
    Can anyone suggest the best way to connect the mic to the mac using the stuff above ...
    Are there any jack to firewire adapters/converters that would alow me to use the Audio buddy instead?
    All suggestions would be most welcome
    Thanks
    Aidan

    Hi Aidan,
    Sad about the FW demotion in OSX.
    I can't for he life of me find what kind of connection the AKG  C 2000 B uses, would an iMac at least allow it's use on the Mac?

  • Adobe Audition 3.0 "Audio Hardware Settings" for USB Audio Interface HELP!

    Hi guys.
    I’m after some help in the internal settings of Adobe Audition 3.0 whilst I’m trying to run my condenser mic through my ART USB Dual Pre.
    I have the USB Dual Pre all set up in my Windows 7 set up (it automatically becomes the default recording device when it’s plugged in), phantom power enabled, XLR cable plugged into the right socket of the two available (is there any difference? I’m just recording voice tracking for radio announcements), headphones plugged into the monitoring jack at the back. Levels are turned up enough that they will pick up the noise, if there was any.
    I go to the “edit” tab in Adobe Audition 3.0, hit record and nothing comes up. I’m not getting any sound at all registered on the computer. I’ve downloaded and installed Asio4All, but can’t for the life of me figure out the configuration within the “Edit > Audio Hardware Setup” to make the damn thing pick up my voice. There’s mention of Audio Drivers (Asio4All or Audition 3.0 Windows Sound), USB Audio Codecs, Input/Output… it’s enough to make a man who’s not very good at this sort of thing cry (ie. Me).
    Could anybody help a body out, please? I think I’ve done everything right except the configuration within Audition itself. A helping hand would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks so much!

    Hey there,
    Thanks for your reply! I'm not too good at describing what I'm doing, so I've taken screenshots of all the options in "Edit > Audio Hardware Settings" under Edit View and Multitrack view. They include both Audio Drivers available (which were Asio4All and Audition 3.0 Windows Sound) and the associated Default Input/Output options, as well as the Audio Driver control panels and the options that were checked/unchecked on them.
    If anybody could tell me how to configure this so I can actually record from my USB Dual Pre, that would be one better than I can do!
    Thanks heaps.

  • How do you setup adobe audition 3.0 to record vocal?

    hi,
    I just bought some equipment for recording vocal but have no idea how to setup adobe audition 3.0 to actually pickup sound from my mic.
    So i have my microphone connecting to the interface which connects to my computer.
    Microphone: Audio Technica AT2020 XLR cord
    Interface: M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB connection
    The M-Audio fast track pro CD was useless, it said it wouldnt install on my Vista 32bit so I just downloaded the vista 32bit driver which worked perfect. I also downloaded the ASIO4ALL v2 driver since my computer only has an intergrated soundcard. (Realtek High Definition Audio, Screaming Bee Audio) I dont know why there is 2. But i have no idea how to get audition working and pick up sound. I went into audio hardware setup and clicked the ASIO4ALL v2 driver in Edit view tab, multitrack view and surround encoder but still no sound picked up. Ill post up some pictures of how it looks. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

    I also tried choosing the M-Audio USB ASIO option but it wont let me
    sorry for being so stupid, I'm a beginner to all this and is still learning so please don't be too harsh on me.

    I use a different model of M-Audio interface so I don't know if this applies to the Fast Track Pro, but...
    I've noticed that mine can be fussy about the order of power up and if I boot the computer then connect the interface, Windows doesn't always detect it's presence.  I now have a switch on procedure that I follow without thinking:  I turn on the audio interface, make sure it's connected to the PC and only then boot the PC.  This seems to make sure the M-Audio device is always detected.
    Although I have Asio4All installed, I just use the M-Audio drivers.  Make sure the drivers you want are selected in the Audio Hardware setup window, then go through and then select your inputs in Edit and Multitrack windows.

  • Default file association & audio output settings in Audition

    I get so tired of having to adjust the 'default player' for my audio files. I'd prefer everything to play in WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER and have that set as such. But, I guess my HP PC and/or Audition causes them to switch quite often.  I don't see that setting in Audition, as sometimes my WAV files show the Audition icon on them and will then obviously want to open in there if I click on them. ANd if they have switched then mp3 and FLAC become associated with HP MediaSmart. Maybe it is a cuplrit also, but it sure is frustrating and I figured I need to ask for help.
    Secondly, on this PC (WIN7) I have to listen to Audition either thru headphones or speakers (thus far). I don't remember HAVING to listen thru headphones or speakers by manually setting it in Audition Preferences on my previous PC (XP).  I would just plug the headphones in and THAT would make the sound go throught the headphones. I generally am using headphones when using Audition, but it gets frustrating having to manually change Preferences when I want to listen thru speakers. I don't have to do that with Audacity.
    If I try to listen without headphones (with it set to Headphones) it gives me an error message saying The selected output port or ASIO driver is invalid. Please change your settings in the Audio Hardware Setup dialog. What should I have it set on so I am not one or the other? I like to be able to go back and forth without changing it in settings each time. My apologies if I am just overlooking something simple.

    My guess, and that's all it is because of the way I have observed different Windows 7 machines behaving differently in this respect, is that the functionality of the headphone/speaker switching depends on what order you start various programs up.
    My guess id that you are using Audition 3 because of the reference to asio in post 1, so I assume you are working through "Audition Windows Sound"? Have you tried asio4all as an alternative interface? Maybe that might give more control.
    I assume you have checked that the default sample rate in Windows Control Panel is the same for both speaker and headphone output. I don't think this should make a difference, but you never know. I can't look at this here as both my Win 7 machines just show speakers as the only output choice even though there is automatic switching to headphones when they are plugged in. Both current machines have Realtek audio.
    Sorry this is all so vague.

  • Is there a quick way to change audio hardware output?

    Hello,
    I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB audio interface hooked up to my Windows 8 machine. I use it to record vocals in a sound booth. The sound booth is closed off from access to the computer, so I monitor my recordings throught the headphones connected to the Scarlett.
    The problem I have is when I edit my files, I want to use my speakers connected to my computer. That is easy enough, I can go to the Audio Hardware settings in Audition and change the ouput from the Scarlett to the speaker output on my computer, but now I have no audio going to the headphones connected to the Scarlett should I need to make a quick re-record. I can output to the speakers directly from the Scarlett but the maximum volume is ridiculously quiet, which means I have to really crank the speakers volume high but if I get any audio through my PC, such as an e-mail alert or an alert sound (which the monitor speakers are also connected to) the volume is super loud.
    I was wondering if any one knew of a way I can add a shortcut to the main Audition interface to easily switch between audio output sources?
    Or even better would be to have dual audio output sources, so I can monitor on both the Scarlett headphone output and my Speakers attached to my PC.
    I hope that makes sense and I would really appreciate any help.
    Thank you
    Mendoza

    Hey, thanks for the ideas.
    Yes, I am using Balanced TRS 1/4" connectors from the Focusrite, straight into the speakers. I also tried a pair of unballanced TRS cables and a pair of TRS to XLR connectors just in case it was the connection type causing a problem.
    I would rather not use an amplifier between the Focusrite and the speakers. Unfortunately the Focusrite Scarlett is renowned for it's ridiculously low monitor output level, but adding a volume booster like an amp in the middle just seems to be boosting an unecessarily low signal, as can be seen on many forums. Really, the volume from the Focusrite monitor output should not be so low in the 1st place. Even when I connect my iPhone through it's line out connection to my speakers the volume is louder. I thought it was a defective Focusrite unit, so I replaced it but it wasn't, as the replacmenet was the same. However, the recording quality and the mic preamps are superb in the Focusrite, So I really like its recording capability.
    The most frustrating thing is that the volume level coming out of my PC (I connect through the SPDIF output to a Cambridge DACmagic DAC and output via RCA interconnects to the speakers) is perfect. Nice, loud and crystal clear. I would much prefer to use this output to the monitor speakers, but then I have no sound to my headphones when I am in the booth. I don't want to connect my headphones to the PC as it is far away and there really is no need as the volume level and latency to the headphones is perfect through the Focusrite, I just need an easy way to either switch output sources in Audition or a way to output playback to both I think.
    Thanks again for your help so far.

  • Hardware Monitor Setup Freeze (K7T266Pro2) [SOLVED]

    1.Product Type: K7T 266 Pro2 (6380 v2)
    2.BIOS version: AMI V3.70
    3.External VGA Type: ATI Radeon VE 7000 AGP 128Mo
    4.CPU Type: Athlon XP 1600+
    5.Memory Type: 2*256 Mo DDR PC2100 PQI
    6.Power Supply Type: Heden PSXA870 380W with -5V output
    7.Operating System: Win XP Pro Sp2
    8.Problem Description:
    When accessing to hardware monitor setup page in BIOS, I get a freeze that I can olny escape by Ctrl Alt Suppr.
    I have made an update of Bios to V3.70 because a new module of memory I have bought make problems. This update do not change anything, so I remove this new module and don't use anymore.
    But by updating, my CPU clock down to 1050 Mhz instead of 1333Mhz, due to FSB set to 100Mhz.
    And impossible to access the page to set the parameter at 133Mhz due to a freeze.
    How to solve the problem and get back the right configuration I had before ?
    I have read that the problem may come from the power supplies that don't have -5V. I don't know what produce my PS, but how to prevent BIOS to check this -5V ?
    EDIT : I have check my PS and it produce -5V.
    Many thanks for your hlep.
    Regards.
    OLIVIER THIEBAUT

    Merry Chrismas everydody.
    Back with happy news :
    - I have flash with v3.7 : flash OK
    - Still getting the problem : hardware monitor page setup freeze, and unable to set FSB to 133Mhz and get the right CPU clock.
    So, my solution :
    - Looking for editing the AMI Bios file.
    - I have load v3.70 Bios file in editor, and only change one parameter : I have set not active the -5V check in hardware monitor module.
    - Save my new bios file (called it v3.71)
    - Then, flash with that edited bios file
    - And manage to access the Hardware Monitor Setup page to set the FSB at 133Mhe. No more freeze.
    I don't know how to call this type of solution, but it works well.
    For moderators, you can modify the subject by adding [solved] if you want.
    Many thanks for everybody.

    Thank you

    See my reply in the other thread. Please don't double post as it is confusing to give answers. Unfortunately your picture doesn't show any helpful information to give us a clue as to what the problem is. A more helpful image would be of the same view but with the Input/output selection shown (rather than the fx view) by clicking on the double arrow icon to the left of the fx one which is selected at present.

  • Adobe Audition Help | Connecting to audio hardware

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/audition/using/connecting-audio-hardware.html

    A couple of things to check:
    From the main menu select Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware
    Check the sample rate - usually 44.1k or 48k
    Make sure you have selected an audio device - use the ASIO version of the driver if available
    Next check the Audio Channel Mapping - make sure audio is being directed to the appropriate outputs
    Then if in mulitrack view check the Output of the Master channel that it is going to the appropriate outputs
    Then make sure you have armed the track to record and that the input source is pointing to whatever mic channel you have plugged in

  • Kawai CN41 electric piano will not show up in Audio MIDI Setup.

    Hello,
    I have a Kawai CN41 Piano that I would like to connect to my Macbook via USB to control some midi functions in Logic Express (incredible software by the way...)
    The Manual that came with the piano says that it should just work. But for maximum clarification, I'll retype what the manual says.
    "The CN41 piano can be connected with a personal computer with a USB cable for excahanging MIDI data. You need a USB Driver installed in your computer.
    [For Windows XP/ME users]
    A standard USB driver is already installed in your computer. You don't need to install a new driver.
    [For Windows 2000/98SE users]
    You need to install the desigated driver in your computer. Visit the KAWAI website at http:/www.kawai.co.jp/english/Download1.html and download the program.
    [For Macintosh users]
    Macintosh OSX automatically recognizes our USB interface. No Special driver is needed. Older Macintosh OS are not supported by us. If you have an older Macintosh OS, please us an appropriate MIDI interface and MIDI cables when connecting the CN41 piano to a macintosh computer.
    NOTE:
    When both MIDI jacks and USB port are connected, USB has priority.
    When connecting USB cable to the CN41 piano, first connect the USB cable and then turn the power of the CN41 piano on.
    It may take some time to start communication when the CN41 piano is connected to the computer via USB. When USB communication is unstable with connection via hub, connect the USB cable directly to the USB port of the computer.
    Turning the power of CN41 piano on/off or disconnecting the USB cable while the follwing actions may cause unstable communication.
    while installing USB driver
    while booting up the computer
    while MIDI application is working
    while communicating with the computer
    while the computer is in energy saver mode
    * If you have any problem with USB communication, consult the instruction manual of your computer and check your computer setup.
    * The USB-MIDI conversion board TID10000934 used in the CN41 piano is approved to show the USB logo. The USB logo can be used only for the product which is approved by USB-IF (USB Implements Fourm Inc.) test.
    * Windows is registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
    * Macintosh is registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc."
    So when i follow the directions just like the manual says the only thing that happens is my mouse stops working for about 30 to 45 seconds. After it starts working, nothing whatsoever in the department of MIDI. It won't even show up in the Audio MIDI Setup application. Also, I'm not 100% positive about this, but I don't think it's showing up in the System Profiler as well.
    I've tried pushing the rescan button in Audio MIDI Setup, nothing.
    I've repeated everything with a different usb cable with no improvement.
    And I even contacted Kawai Technical Support. The guy I talked to via email said that he wasn't a mac guy but he'd ask his friends who were if they had any problems, his friends told him that everything was working fine for them. Then he told me to go and buy a USB-MIDI interface and plug it into the traditional MIDI ports on the CN41 and see if that would work. (I really don't want to do that, one of the reasons I bought this piano is the midi-straight-to-computer-via-usb-cable-connection connection. Buying a little usb interface would defeat the point. Although, I'll probably buy one down the road eventually. I would just like it to work.)
    This piano is really nice, It has keys that feel like the real thing and using it to write some tracks in Logic Express would be a delight if it would work. If I could, I would take this issue to the Apple store in Salt Lake City, but I'm thinking that I would also have to take the piano and its kinda big. I'm using a Macbook running OS X Leopard 10.5.4 with a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 Gigs of ram. I also run a Line 6 Toneport UX2, I'm not sure if there could be any Hardware conflicts, but I'm not much of a computer guy so I figured I'd just let you know as much as I can.
    Aside from this thing with the piano, OSX has worked beautifully! I will never buy a Windows running machine again. And the few times when I'm forced to use one, (Work and stuff) I get really cranky.
    Thank you for your time,
    Jon Worms
    P.S. I'm more than willing to scan the manual and email it for you upon request, I tried to find a link to it somewhere with no luck. But you know, thats just my luck. :P

    Hey Rob, Thanks for responding!
    As far as I can see there is not. The piano does have 3 usb ports on it though. 2 A size ports to go to Kawai approved devices, such as a hard drive for recording directly to portable memory. These plugs are labeled USB to Device. Then it has one B size plug that is Labeled USB to Host. The manual says that this is the one to connect to the computer.
    USB Controls do exist though. But manual states that they are for when you plug in a small hard drive/flash drive. The controls allow you to create new folders and move recordings around on a flash drive. And without a hard drive plugged into one of the A size ports I don't get anything but an error message.
    Tomorrow I'm going to try and get it to work on a windows box. Maybe i'll have a little luck.
    Thanks for your help.

  • 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.

Maybe you are looking for
