Audio I/O to monitor 5.1

Could anyone recomend an affordable I/O for a Mac Pro to monitor 5.1 editing and mixing in FCPX?
Thanks

Well, what about "entry level"?
Do you think the Motu UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid would do the job?
I'm trying to start experimenting in 5.1,that's whyI am asking about "entry level" and also about audio interface that works with FCPX to get the 6 channels out to monitor the mix.
Thanks!

It looks like the only thing not working as it should is the menu command Go to Split>Audio Out. Everything else in your video is working as designed.
I do get that same bad menu behavior. But if only audio split is set, both the keyboard shortcuts and the Go To Out icon work just fine.

URGENT - How accurate is Audio Synch on Computer Monitor?

Hi,
Due the temporary lack of Digital-to-Analog convertor for my Blackmagic HDLink card, I've been unable to monitor audio while watching video on my external monitor. So instead I've been watching the computer monitor, and listening thru built-in audio.
(I should explain that I am listening to a mixed down audio track, so I dont have the original audio clips in the timeline to see the synch indicators. I'm doing this all by eye and ear)
I have a two-beep at the beginning of the long sequence, which I SEE and HEAR at the same time. But I've been told by someone I trust not to trust the synch using this method. My sequence is 83min if that makes any difference.
The reason this came up is that after adjusting the synch on a bunch of shots a few weeks ago, I went back and checked them again and they are off a few frames....
I've got a M-Audio Flying Cow Digital to Analog convertor on the way, but the meatime am borrowing a Home Theatre amp with Digial In that should allow me to monitor from the Decklink, but would really like to know if all my synch work is unreliable.
thank you !!!

Mathew,
You shouldn't have a problem using built-in audio if you're monitoring on the computer monitor. Built-in is low enough latency that it shouldn't matter. As you say, they appear to be in sync. If you were monitoring video through your Decklink, and audio through the built-in, then I would suspect a problem because the video D to A conversion introduces video latency.
Why a sequence would go a bit out of sync a few weeks later after making no changes is a mystery. Unless you changed something else in your system that could have changed the buffer settings for built-in audio? Just a longshot.

Can I use Optical Audio alongside a speakerless monitor to play audio through speakers?

I have an Apple TV 3 and so far I am relatively pleased. However.. I have no sound, this just about renders my Apple TV useless. Is it possible to use the Optical Audio cable to play sound from films, music etc. while still having the Apple TV connected to the Monitor via HDMI? Do you have any suggestions as to what speakers would be good? (looking at around £50 - £100) I was thinking of getting some of the Bose Companion 2 monitor speakers and then using a DAC to play audio from the Apple TV to the speakers. Would this work? If not, does anybody have any other suggestions?
P.S. I can't plug speakers into my monitor for some absurd, annoying reason unbeknown to society

My ATV is connected to the tv with hdmi
My optical is connected to my stereo
I mute my tv and only play out of the stereo

Apple TV audio through interface and monitor speakers?

Hi all,
See following pic of my setup...
My question is as follows....
When Macbook is linked to tv via airplay, which is my normal setup as I produce music and use both screens, the sound output is set through Saffire audio interface and comes out the monitor speakers and all is good with the world, however, I want to be able to sit back and watch the apps on Apple TV as is shown on the big screen there ie. Netflix/NBA TV, but still using my computer soundcard and hence through the monitor speakers instead of it switching back to the TV sound.
IS THIS POSSIBLE???
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the response vazandrew. I've looked further into what you said and the solution is as follows;
http://www.amazon.co.uk/eSynic%C2%AE-Digital-Optical-Coaxial-Converter/dp/B009ZR 7IB8/ref=pd_sxp_grid_i_0_2
Ditial optical out to toslink audio converter, then out the converter to RCA/Jack etc.
Hope this helps anyone else with same question.

How to get audio for HP 2311x monitor to work??

I connected my HP Folio 13 laptop to my HP 2311x monitor through HDMI. However, I don't get any sound from my laptop's speakers (the monitor doesnt have internal speakers).
How can I get the audio to work?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Since the monitor does not have speakers, no point to enable HDMI sound, please disable it:
(a) Right click the speakers icon,
(b) Open Playback Devices,
(c) Right click and Disable HDMI sound:

Problems with audio playback in source monitor

I recently updated to Yosemite, so this may be a update issue, but anytime I open up an audio file in the source monitor and try to play it, I get the pinwheel and a big delay. After the delay it does begin to play, but I still have the pinwheel and have to force quit. I'm on a new Mac Pro as well running the latest CC2014. Anyone else have this issue?

Hi there, i had the same problem when i did a clean install of windows 7 and re-installed Premiere Pro, where i had the same problem you speak of. I uninstalled and re-installed it and it works fine now. Something to do with either the version 4.2 or the third party material. I would suggest going back to version 4.0 and that should solve your problems

Audio square image on monitor, unable to remove

Since a few weeks there is appearing a large square transparent audio volume image on my monitor, that cannot be removed. It appears above every document or image I'm working in, in the middle of the screen. I tried everything to get it removed in system preferences, removing caches, restarting, using anti virus software and everything else I could think of. Without result.
I work already more than 30 years with Macs, I know all the ins and outs and the software too. Never had this before, so I think maybe its a Trojan horse but I cannot find it.
Please, if anybody knows a solution, HELP!

Hi Ramon,
thanks for your fast answer, this is the image
But.... maybe I 'solved' it for the moment, at least I hope so. At this moment it disappeared, but last week it disappeared also for 2 days ant then it re-appeared. So, I have to wait and see.
I disconnected all audio and headphone now from the apple and then it disappeared. But that means I can only listen to build-in audio and that's not the best quality. So once, I have to connect that again.
What is strange also, when this square appears, it's not possible to change the sound volume.
So last week I had to work with constant sound I didn't want to hear from my Mac. When it disappeared, I moved sound volume to 'off'. When it re-appeared again, It wasn't possible anymore to put the sound on 'On'.
Each time when I wanted to change it, it automatically ran back to start position.
It has also influence to my other programs. It's not possible to work with more than 1 program at the same time. So I have to quit before I can work with another program. Closing a file isn't enough.
Nor can I select with my mouse more than 1 file at the same time, for example in Mail to throw away.
This never happened before, so I still think there is a trojan horse or the updates from mac software have something to do with it, because that's the only thing that has changed.

Hdmi audio on the lcd monitor

I'm using the mini-dvi to hdmi, hdmi to hdmi adapter and im wondering if there was any way to have the audio come out of the lcd monitor instead of from my computer?

Are you connecting to a TV? If so, something like this is what you need: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F8V235-12-12-Foot-Audio-Cable/dp/B000067RBT/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1239900633&sr=8-1
Otherwise, you can buy any set of external speakers, so long as they connect to the audio-out (headphone) jack on your computer.

M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 monitors with imac optical digital out

I'm looking to purchase these monitors for my imac or ones very similar to them and was wondering how I go about hooking them up to the imac. I've read that I would have to use a mini-TOSLink cable to use the optical digital out, but how do I go from that to the RCA on the back of the monitors? Do they make a mini-TOSLink cable to RCA cable? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, the AV 40 inputs are line-level analog RCA; they 'don't understand' digital audio,
and the conversion requires more than a cable -- you'd need an D-to-A converter.
You could run an analog signal to the monitors with just a cheap miniplug-to-RCA
(analog) adaptor from Radio Shack; but if you want to use the iMac's digital output,
you'll need some sort of external digital-to-analog conversion hardware.
I don't know of any inexpensive stand-alone TOSLINK-to-analog converters, but
there are many USB-to-audio products that would allow you to feed digital audio
from the iMac to the AV 40's -- but through a USB port, rather than TOSLINK.
Search for "USB audio" on amazon.com and/or newegg.com.

What cable(s) for audio on hp zr2440w monitor with HP 3005pr port replicator and HP Folio laptop?

I have an HP ZR2440w monitor.
I have an HP Folio laptop.
I have an HP 3005pr port replicator.
I want to use the monitor's built-in speakers.
Question 1) What cable do I need to connect the port replicator to the monitor to use the monitor's built-in speakers?
Question 2) Does the monitor have a built-in microphone?
Question 2b) If yes, what cable do I need to connect the port replicator to the monitor to use the monitor's built-in microphone?
Thanks!

I understand you have some questions connecting the zr2440w monitor to the Hp 3005pr port replicator.
The back of the replicator should look something like this.
Question 1) What cable do I need to connect the port replicator to the monitor to use the monitor's built-in speakers?
The green headphone jack is how you would connect it to a set of external speakers. If the monitor has its own speakers, it should have a port to match it. This is a standard 3.5mm audio jack, so any standard 3.5mm speaker cable should work. I will note that this monitor didn't list any audio input. Monitors that have speakers usually have an analog audio input jack.
Question 2) Does the monitor have a built-in microphone?
This guide lists all the features of this monitor starting on page 2. It doesn't appear to have a microphone. You could still connect an external microphone to the port replicator's microphone jack.
Let me know if this answered your questions.

Sync audio playback to external monitor.

Is there any way in FCPX to delay the audio playback to be in sync with an external monitor.
In FCP7 it was called "Frame delay".
I have no standalone audio delay available.
I´m cutting music videos and while the external video (BM Intensity Extreme via HDMI) is only delayed 2-3 frames, it is virtually useless...

You might be able to pull something out of this article that could help:

Can the audio for the source monitor be muted during playback?

Seems like a silly question but I like to listen to music on the same workstation while I'm previewing/trimming clips in the source monitor. In this instance I do not need to preview the audio in the clips so I'd rather not hear it while my jams are playing, which keeps me from poking my eye out with a pen after 4 hours of previewing .
I have not been able to locate any mute option for the source monitor so I'm open to suggestions other then using something other than the same workstation (iPod n headphones), which may be the way I go if there is no other option.
thanks,
Dave

Hey Harm,
I can't see the audio tracks in the source monitor (CS4). I only see the audio tracks of clips that are loaded in a timeline. Right now I have a thousand (literally) clips from a season of club volleyball. I have them loaded in bins in the project panel and I am dbl clicking each clip to load it in the source monitor panel (that I have undocked and displayed on a seperate monitor). I have seperate sequences for the types of plays I want to keep, so as I preview/trim in the source monitor I drop what I want to keep in the appropriate timeline/sequence. If there is a way to view the audio tracks in the source monitor without the clips being in a timeline I do not know how.

No audio when with second monitor attached and using Extend, Duplicate,or Second Screen Only modes

When I attached a second monitor via HDMI cable and try to use Duplicate, Extend, or Second Screen only display modes, I can get the video to display and run but I get no audio unless I set the notebook display settings to P/C Only mode. I really want to use the second screen for PowerPoint/Presenter View and play a embedded video (along with the sound). Even if I try to play a YouTube video I can only get audio when in P/C Screen Only mode. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
