Audio issue with A605, RE: Input/mic monitor

I recently purchased a Portege A605-200, with Realtek HD audio and Vista.
Trying to solve a problem that I've found, in my several days of research, seems quite common with Realtek.  Simply, I cannot monitor my microphone input, realtime, through my headset or onboard speakers.  I can record fine, I just can't hear my voice, as you would be able to in any studio recording environment. This is a feature I need desperately, due to conference call recordings I make, via Skype, and realtime backup recordings I must make to Mini Disk.
Many solutions I've seen on the net require a registry edit, but I've not found one that works for me.  Not afraid of the registry, just can't find the right edit.
Things get bleaker as I quote a Realtek technician (level one?) who wrote after several emails back-and-forth:  "I'm sorry. The Microphone A-A Path function had been removed from your system . This is TOSHIBA requirement . So, you can not hear the microphone sound immediately.  Best regards, PC-Tech AT ."
And I'm wondering "What the heck is the 'A-A Path function'"?  Hardware/wiring issue?  Software?  Something to do with preventing feedback due to the onboard mic and speakers?   Registry edit solution?  Vista issue (never happened with XP)?  Heck if I know.
I'm at a total loss and quite weary. I'm considering buying a Cakewalk Roland UA-1G USB Audio Interface or some other audio interface to replace the onboard audio.  What else can I do?
Would NEVER have bought this computer had I suspected it would be impossible to record and monitor the mic input, as I have been able to do with every other computer I've ever had.  I'm just praying somebody can save me some grief and money and provide a solution or suggestion. 
Thanks much for reading this.
Rick L.
PS  Updated the bios and loaded up the latest drivers from Realtek and Vista SP2.  No luck.

No, I am using my Roland VS 1680. I am inputting audio from this recording unit to final cut using firewire. I can see the volume meter reading the input signal and when I capture, I actually record it onto final cut. Playback after capture is fine.
The issue is that I am unable to preview my audio stream through the speakers. I have gone to preferences on the apple menu checked off my input as firewire and output as built in audio.
I have noticed in my LOG AND CAPTURE screen (clip settings) the PREVIEW box is dark and not allowing me to check this off. I am assuming this might be why I cant preview audio.

  • Huge Core Audio issue with Optical digital input (S/PDIF) on MacPro

    Hello to all,
    I just realized that it's just impossible to switch the digital optical input (S/PDIF) on a MacPro to 48kHz, it immediately reswitches to 44.1 !!!
    To reproduce (not sure of the english names, french OS here):
    - launch "Audio MIDI configuration"
    - select "Digital audio input" in Properties
    - try to switch Format to 48kHz / 24bit
    In a few seconds, the format reswitches to 44.1 !!!
    Even if feeding the optical input with a correct S/PDIF signal at 48kHz/24bit, no way to change the sample frequency to something other than 44.1, resulting in wrong tonality or distorted sound.
    Please Apple, fix this ASAP, this is just not usable in a pro or even semi-pro environment !
    Test on Leopard 10.5.8 and Snow Leo 10.6.2. I'm pretty sure it worked with Tiger.
    Bye.

    Thanks Keith, but i don't think Logic users could have a clue on this issue (no pun intended).
    I'm a Pro Tools and Nuendo user, so i'm a bit reluctant to ask in a Logic forum... Too many fanboys there IMHO...
    Thanks anymway.
    Bye.

  • Vista 64, Latest Driver & X-Fi Elite Pro: Audio issue with Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Pes 20

    Hi,i have formatted XP S.P.2 and now i'm using Vista Ultimate 64.I have got an X-Fi Elite Pro and i have installed all the applications using the CD-Rom.I updated the driver, Alchemy and Mediasource to the latest version.The system is totally clean and updated (I used Windows Update when i finished to install Vista and nothing was installed). I would like to know why i cannot play Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 like in XP: when i enter in the game i have a noise (looks like the noise of the needle in old gramophones...) and i cannot use the speakers (Creative ProGamer G500).If i turn the volume to 0 i can hear it too... i have to switch off the speakers or exit the game to delete it.Is it another bug I tried to uninstall and doing a new installation of the game but... no way men... Thanks p.s.After year and 4 months (release date of Vista) is it possible to have a decent driver... The Audio Quality in Vista Ultimate 64 bit is lower than in XP and the same wave files have distortion with the low and middle-high volume (60-70).
    Problems that i have never had in XP... i cannot reinstall XP another time. I bought Vista in 2006 and i cannot use it till you'll release a good sw.
    Have we to wait till 200 for a fuc.ing working driver
    My Hw.: Intel Core 2 Quad 6600, DFI Lanparty DK, 2GB DDR800 Team Group, X800XT 52MB, Enermax Noisetaker 600W, Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, Creative ProGamer G500, Plextor PX76SA, Logitech G5 and G5.

    The problem is now official: other customers have problems with some games (Pes 2008 and Crysis in particular). I'll show u the main italian hw. forum. There is a thread of more than 500 pages just about Creative X-Fi: http://www.hwupgrade.it/forum/showth...42043&page=550 I would like to know if u test drivers before sharing... because i don't know what you did in more than year.You should meditate, people... I paid more than 400 $ for an Elite Pro and after year and 4 month i cannot install Vista 64 too for audio issues with mp3-wave files and Pes 2008 or Vista 32 bit for problems with Pes 2008. This is my latest Creative product, you can trust.

  • Sound / Audio issues with Google Chrome

    Hi guys,
    I have this audio issue with a new Macbook Air (2013 base model).
    When I stream audio / video (eg podcast, YouTube, NBATV) via Google Chrome, there is the static or clicking sound which you could hear both through the built in speakers and through the headset.
    Brought it in to the Apple Store yesterday and they acknowledged the sound on Chrome.  HOWEVER when using Safari, this clicking / static sound is no longer audible.  I can probably record an audio clip to demo this further.  The genius concoluded that this is probably an issues with Chrome or codecs that its using rather than the actual laptop.  No replacements at this stage. 
    I have an old MBA 11” where this issue does NOT occur.
    The hesitation in using Safari is Flash.  Some video streams such as NBATV, which I watch quite frequently use Flash. Chrome handles this quite well, with no separate installs required. 
    Has anyone else encountered this?  Not sure if I can pursue this issue further with Apple.

    Chrome shockwave flash plugin issue causing sound problems on the macbook:
    Shockwave Flash 11.5 r31    (old version)
    Shockwave Flash 11.5 r502
    disabling r31 solved it.
    Many people have checked their chrome plugins and found they had two plugins enabled. They disabled the older one and audio is perfect.
    -Go to chrome://plugins
    -Click and expand +Details in the Upper Right
    -Check over the flash files.
    -One is version 11.3.31.222
    -Disable the odd version and reload the flash content
    For some reason, CHROME has allowed two flash plugins to be enabled at the same time, and clearly the older version is the one causing the problems.
    go to "Chrome://plugins" tab. Click “Details” at the upper-right corner of the page.
    Find “Shockwave Flash” listing for the integrated plug-in on the page and click the corresponding “Disable” button. To identify the integrated plug-in, see the table of plug-in filenames above.
    Find the “Flash” (or “Shockwave Flash”) listing for the system plug-in on the page and click the corresponding “Enable” button. To identify the system plug-in, see the table of plug-in filenames above.
    disabling Shockwave Flash 11.4 r31 resolved the problem for most people.
    When people double checked: if they re-enable Shockwave Flash 11.4 r31, ....the distorted / broken audio happens again.
    Hope that solves it for you

  • Facetime Audio Issues with Logitech Webcam

    I have been experiencing audio issues with Facetime with my Apple Mac Mini A1283 and Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 ever since I upgraded to Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.  The webcam worked fine before upgrading to OSX 10.10 and 10.10.1. During Facetime calls my the video works okay, but the audio makes me sound like "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and the other person on the receiving end sounds high pitched, as well.  Other apps work just fine (i.e. Skype), just Facetime.  I tried upgrading to 10.10.1, but the issue has yet to be resolved.  Apparently I am not the only one experiencing this issue.

  • Issue with Full Screen & Input languages (Mavericks 10.9.1)

    I have two issues with the latest (Version 8.0.24308) Microsoft Remote Desktop from the Mac App store:
    1. If I tick the connection entry "Start session in fullscreen" option, after connect the desktop slips upwards like on the screenshot (below on the link)

  • Audio issues with HDMI connection

    I just bought a toshiba 40l5200u (40'' 1080p) and I'm having issues with connecting my macbook pro to it with a HDMI cable. The picture looks fine and everything, but the audio is horrible. The bass specifically sounds terrible, very gravelly if that makes sense. Dialogue is usually fine, but when something loud, for example, happens in during a movie the audio (bass mostly) gets very distorted, scratchy, and just a pain to listen to. The audio sounds perfectly fine when I play a DVD through a dvd player, so it the speakers on the tv don't seem to be the problem.
    I was originally using a "Cable Matters Gold Plated Premium Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt to HDMI Male to Male Cable in White 10 ft" (here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CADYDO/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&p sc=1). I thought the issue might be with the HDMI cable, so I recently bought a "PNY A-DM-HD-W01 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter" (here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007B6YPAM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&p sc=1) and another HDMI cable, "BlueRigger High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet, Supports 3D and Audio Return" (here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XM9774/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&p sc=1) but that didn't fix the problem at all.
    What I can deduce is that the problem isn't with the tv's speakers. Other than that though I have no idea. Any suggestions on what to do? I would be very appreciative. Thanks.

    It sounds like a software problem. Try updating your Flash software and your audio drivers.

  • Audio Issues with MacBook Pro (Late 2008)

    I am seeing an occasional issue with my MacBook Pro (Late 2008). The Audio will go out... and instead you will just hear static-like clicking sounds when and audio even happens. For example... when you have the up/down volume notification on... and you change the audio volume.. you hear clicks. Or... when you open up a file that has audio.. you will hear the static-like click when the audio starts to try to play.
    The work around per-se is to completely shutdown and turn the notebook back on. A simple restart does not seem to fix it... it looks like the system needs to have a bit of energy drain first. Which... worries me that this is a hardware issue and not a driver issue.
    Wondering how many others are seeing this???

    I went to and Apple Support Center last week and I asked some questions about audio because my MBP was having troubles too. The tech told me audio issues are very frequent on these machines and sometimes you have to change a part of the soundcard. He also added you have to bring the MBP to a support center if you're having the problem several times - in my case I'm waiting the next "crash" since I had only 2 issues so far... If you're under warranty go for a check up and see if it really needs assistance. Goodbye

  • Issue with RFBIBL00 batch input processing

    Hello ABAP Experts,
    I am having issue with a speed of batch input session processing.  If you can please help me resolve the issue.
    I have a requirement to post liquidation document to clear open vendor down payment items and then to clear vendor invoice with liquidation.  I have created a custom program to address this requirement where it uses the SAP program and Call Transaction.
    For liquidation document posting, I am using the program RFBIBL00.  The custom program has steps:
    1.  Submit RFBIBL00 via job to create batch input session
    2.  Close job
    3.  Submit RSBDCSUB via job to process batch input session
    4.  Close job
    5.  Wait for 15 seconds
    6.  Read job log to get liquidation document number
    7.  If no document posted then display error
    The issue is when the job log is read it says u2018Session 10zrsbdcsubxxxxxxx is being processed by user   in mode   on serveru2019 and there is no error message or no document number with message number 312.  So the program displays error message, stops and cannot perform the second step. If I check in the system after a couple of minutes I find the document posted. I also increased the wait time.  But the first record processing always takes longer and the program finds as a failure.  The program can process next several records with success.
    I am looking for expert help if you please suggest how to resolve this.
    Thanks & Regards.

  • Premiere Pro 6 and Audition Audio issues with Kona Lhi

    Hello,
       When I have Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition open at the same time, and I send an audio clip from Premiere Pro to Audition for editing, I have no sound in Audition. If I have only one of these programs open, the audio works fine in both. Since these programs are linked together it is essential that I have audio in both, even though, both programs are open. Is there a driver fix or some other way to get Premiere Pro to release the Kona Card LHi when switching to Audition? I am using a Mac Pro 2 x 2.4 6-core 24MB Ram 1333 DDR3 and Quadro 4000 with Kona Lhi Drivers 10.4.4 with Adobe presets.
    Thanks,
    Dunamis Starr | TV Department

    Hello Dunamis,
    Unfortunately this is a known issue with the Kona card. I know this is something they would like to fix but I'm uncertain on the timeframe. 
    There are times when this workflow will work without issue but when it goes into the bad state you will need to quit the apps.

  • Audio issue with Youtube video

    I am creating some videos to upload to Youtube. I am having a problem with audio. I am creating and uploading using Adobe Premiere CC and Media Encoder. When I upload the video to Youtube, I have no issues. The problem I am facing is when I play it on mobile phone, I get now audio tracks (vocal) playing through the phones speaker. I do get the audio track I rendered through After Effects. However, I can hear the vocals On a PC, Ipad etc. I can hear the vocals through a headphone plugged into the phone or via bluetooth. I am using the H.264 codec with youtube 1080 settings. Any suggestions and yes I have tried a different phone to see if it was and issue with the phone.

    This might be your problem:

  • Flash audio issue with Firefox

    I came across an issue in firefox relating to adobe Flash. I'm also adressing the issue with adobe as it might be related to action script in the SWF. However if that were the case I don't quite understand why it's limited to Firefox.
    The problem is as follows. Using a simple mp3 player to play news highlights i came across an issue where that if other tabs or windows were open where flash audio played (like a youtube video) the audio in all these tabs/windows would cease as soon as the simple mp3 player was loaded or the stop button was pressed. This proved to be a problem among many of our customers who listen to online radio via our players (in a popup window/tab/seperate window) and browse on our site where this mp3 player is loaded. I provided a test environment where you can find the player.
    http://www.classicfm.nl/audiotest/
    Test by having flash audio playing and open the above link in another tab or window. As the player loads it stops all audio.
    Kind regards

    I've been looking everywhere, google, adobe forum and one thing strike me... all, or almost all post about that in adobe forum have been ignored... Why ?
    On google i found a lot of people saying it is impossible and some saying it is, that they managed to fix theirs, but it is still not working for me. I followed and tryed a lot of method that seem to work for them, but it isnt working for me.
    Adding this
            <embed src="Video/Menu.swf" quality="high" width="2000" height="950" name="Menu" align="middle" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent"/>
    Is not helping much.
    Please it is critical for me that my flash allow the click through on Chrome and Firefox because my flash cover the whole screen as you see, 2000x950 and depending what you do in my website, it will fill the screen or not, and i still have html link that need to be clicked that are not inside the flash itself, thus why i need the click through.
    Thanks

  • Bose Companion 5 audio issues with games

    I recently purchased a set of Bose Companion 5 speakers for my Mac Book Pro. After setting them up according to the manufacture's specifications, they had no trouble playing from iTunes or DVDs, or games that use 2.1 audio (DEFCON, Halo).
    However, for newer games (Quake 4, Spore, and Command & Conquer 3), I either receive a heavily distorted (almost static quality) output or no sound at all (Quake 4). These games have no issue with audio either through the computer speakers, earbuds, or Sennheiser USB headphones.
    I have spoken with Bose, and they suggested that my computer may not have a powerful enough processor to handle the USB audio in tandem with the game. I find that highly unlikely.
    If anyone has any suggestions, I would be grateful.

    I can't add any value here but take a look at StarDeb55's thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6107756

  • Audio Issue With Premiere Elements 11

    I have a project that I have been working on and have exported it to a .mov file just fine a few months ago.  I recently decided to change some clips and add different ones to it.  Somehow in this process my audio stopped exporting!  It's still there and plays just fine in Premiere but not export with the video no mater what format that I save it in.  When exporting, I have double-checked to make sure that the "Export Audio" box is checked.  I've tried replacing the MP3 audio file with a WAV version of it and that didn't work.  I went back to my original project file and now that won't even export the audio.  I also did a test and created a new project with a new video clip and separate audio file and the sound is exporting but cuts in and out.  I did another test and exported a clip that was with it's original audio file from the camera and it was fine.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for me?  I'm all out of ideas to try and hair to pull out...
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure how that can help me.  The problem is within the file not the player.  I had sent one directly to Vimeo and the audio isn't there either.  Now I just tried again after a reboot and I got audio fo 9 seconds and then in dropped.
