Audio issues with ASUS G750JX

Hey Arch,
I'm having a bit of trouble with my audio and was hoping you guys could assist me with it/simplify it.
Incase no one reads all the way to the bottom, basically I'm wondering if theres a way of just using one audio system and not having to worry about the other.
Volume levels won't save no matter what I've tried so far, plus everytime the laptop gets turned on, the headphones level which controls speakers is set to 0
"HDA Intel PCH (Alsa mixer)" "Headphone" controls Bass, "Speaker" controls speakers, "PCM" controls something else as sound gets quieter when it's lowered.
If I plug headphones in, everything gets muted, although after unmuting audio is played through the headphones, however when the headphones are unpluged, the audio mutes again until I manually unmute each stream.
I'm unsure which programs use which audio system, be it Alsa mixer or PulseAudio
Gmusicbrowser - audio is controlled both by itself and by Alsa/Pulse it seems
Vlc - similar but seems to match what both Alsa and Pulse show
I've tried setting them to just use one audio system but it doesnt seem to work.
Below are what come up in the xfce4-mixer
HDA Intel PCH (Alsa mixer)*
HDA NVidia (Alsa mixer)
Playback: GK106 HDMI Audio Controller Digitial Stereo (HDMI) (PulseAudio Mixer)
Playback: Built-in Audio Analog Stereo (PulseAudio Mixer)*
*Both seem to control audio, "HDA Intel PCH (Alsa mixer)" master "somewhat mirrors" what "Playback: Built-in Audio Analog Stereo (PulseAudio Mixer)" does. Eg "Master" is lowered in "HDA Intel PCH (Alsa mixer)" it gets lowered in "Playback: Built-in Audio Analog Stereo (PulseAudio Mixer)" but doesnt exactly match it
$lspci |grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK106 HDMI Audio Controller (rev a1)
The following are packages installed relating to Alsa or Pulseaudio
multilib/lib32-libpulse
multilib/lib32-alsa-lib
extra/libao
extra/libcanberra-pulse
extra/libpulse
extra/pulseaudio
extra/pulseaudio-alsa
extra/alsa-lib
extra/alsa-plugins
extra/alsa-utils
extra/zita-alsa-pcmi
*multilib packages are primarily due to having skype (don't think I've installed anything else from multilib)
I'm set to get updates from testing and community-testing
Side note - if anyone knows how to get the XF86Backlight keys working (for the actual backlight) that would be cool, currently i control the backlight with the xfce4 power manager plugin.
Thanks to who ever is able to help.

Oh man, this is driving me nuts. First I was having the loud "pop" in the speakers, apparently the sound subsystem going to sleep to save power, heavily discussed in these forums. I applied the 10.4.10v1.1 update and these loud "pops" seemed to have gone away, but what still remains is a soft "scratch" sound before and after almost every time the computer makes sound. Includes interface sounds in the finder, quicktime movies, almost everything. It seems to only happen on my line out, and the loudness of the "scratches" is constant regardless of the mac's volume setting.
I am mostly making music with this thing, so the scratches coming out of my studio monitor speakers is very annoying. Any idea, any workarounds, please help.

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

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.

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.

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

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
Dwayne

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.

Various hardware issues with Asus G73

Hello everybody,
First let me say that issue I'm experiencing is caused by hardware malfunction I need help diagnosing.
Since it has nothing to do with Arch (or any other OS for that matter), I hope this is the right place to post.
Now, let's get to the problem.
I have Asus G73-JW laptop. It's 'desktop replacement' machine from 2010 based on
Nehalem platform (i7-740QM @ 1.7GHz) paired with nVidia 460m and 8 GB of ram.
It has not so nice 17" 1080p screen and 750GB HDD and 60GB SSD as storage.
Few months ago I started playing Battlefield 3 on dual-booted Windows 7 and native Steam Team Fortress 2 on x64 Arch.
While playing those games weird things began to happen.
First, laptop started emmiting loud, extremely annoying high-pitched noise. After a while noise fades but fans start
running on full speed. Screen backlight flickers (as if it was a recording with an old camera) unless it's set to max
when picture appears normal. Keyboard becomes unresponsive. It works, but it's not enough to just press keys,
they need to be pressed for much longer than usual. Maybe for half a second or less, but enough to make keyboard
unusable. Keyboard backlight turns off if it was on (and vice versa) and can't be controlled with hotkeys.
At that time, I suspected this is somehow related to GPU since laptop was functioning perfectly normal unless in a
game or GPU benchmark. Even really CPU intensive tasks such as building CyanogenMod which drove CPU temperature
over 90C caused no issues. But after some time these sympthoms started showing regardles to GPU usage or system load,
which led me to recognising few more of them and making sure this is not software problem since it's exibited on Arch and
few other distros, Windows 7 and 8.
After laptop goes nuts, it can be normalized either by shutting down or suspending to ram.
During sleep few LEDs that are normally blinking will stay on. After they start blinking again everything will work normally after
waking up (for some time, that is) and it will be possible to wake it on any key. If LEDs are stuck, only power key works.
In the begining it took it few hours or more to become normal, but now 20-30 minutes is enough and same amount of time applies
for both powering up and waking from sleep. Even if laptop didn't 'calm down', it will be silent during wake up process, but fans will
kick in full speed right after. If power cable gets removed out while on rampage, keyboard and touchpad simply die. If I shut it down
without power pluged in, it won't be possible to turn it back on without waiting a while. Whether it's with or without battery, or running
only on battery power, makes no difference - fans keep on spinning as fast as they can.
Even though temperatures are completely normal - CPU in mid 40s, GPU somewhat hotter, I thought something that is not reporting
temperature to OS (chipset or whatever) might be overheating, so I took it apart. After cleaning everything thoroughly, changing
thermal paste and thermal pads, nothing changed besides temperatures which are few degrees lower now. While open, I took the
chance to look for anything that doesn't look normal, leaked capacitors, unsoldered components, but everything looked just fine.
I have googled my ass off, but I have been unable to find any similar reports for this or any other notebook.
As far as logs go, I don't think there is anything to give you except maybe kernel log.
I'm trying to diagnose problem myself (and, if possible, fix it) because everything that runs on electricity is so damn expensive here,
not to mention repair shop services and their prices. Warranty is long gone, and since laptop was bought on US Amazon, I'm not sure it
would have done me any good here in Bosnia.
I would really apreciate any help and if there is any useful info I didn't provide, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Šaran.

Since few days ago battery LED sometimes blinks red although acpi reports 100% full.

HDMI Audio issue with Samsung Plasma

Hi all,
I have a mid 2010 Mac Mini that I bought for my HTPC. I am unable to get the HDMI audio to work after trying a number of connection possibilities. Here's the setup -
Mac Mini to Samsung via HDMI cable (1.3a) in either HDMI port - no audio
Mac Mini to Samsung via HDMI cable currently working for my uverse service - no audio
Mac Mini to Insignia LCD via HDMI cable in either HDMI port- no audio
I thought it was hardware, so I made a genius appointment and took it in. They gave me a new mini. Same exact issue.
When I switch to SAMSUNG in the sound properties, it tells me "The selected device has no output controls"
Video works fine.
What am I doing wrong? Did I just get two bad boards? This is really freaking annoying.

I have the same issue... perfect image on a Samsung TV UE32EH5300, but no sound. I tried changing the input name to HDMI/PC (and tried all others) with no success.
Altough I noticed one rare thing. I opened Mountain Lion AudioMidi Configuration and selected the HDMI output. Can't move the volume controls because these are supposed to be controlled on the TV. But when clicking at the Speaker configuration and making a test for L/R speakers... each TV speaker (connected by HDMI) reproduced statics.
THEN I'M CONFUSED!!!!... how can I hear sound produced by the computer but can't have the normal audio on HDMI???
Any help???

New Audio Issues with Apple TV

As of last week my Apple TV has not been able to play audio on a consistant basis. I have it connected to a Samsung TV which is connected to Sony Soundbar Station. The Apple TV audio plays for 2 seconds but then switches to the Cable Audio. I have had the Apple TV for 2 years with no issues before last week. I am playing my movies from my Macbook Pro (last 2008 model)
It seems to be a problem that many are having. Has anyone found a solution or should I just restore the unit?
Thanks,
Luke

I've found that more times than not, some devices DO NOT like converters.
For example, I had a Mini-HDMI to Full-sized HDMI converter. It never worked no matter what I tried. But the pieces independantly worked fine.
So I finally had to buy a cable that had Full-sized HDMI on one end and Mini-HDMI on the other. With no adaptors. Then everything worked fine.
Just something to think about.
Just wondering though.
Why not connect the Optical cables directly from the TV to the Stereo instead of trying to create adaptor bridges from the Apple TV.
What may be happening is that the Audio is automatically going through the HDMI and not wanting to use the aux audio setup you have created.
If you are intent on keeping the setup this way, you need to go through the device settings to see what can be changed.
