Audio issues with different types of sound cards

For some reason different clips in Final Cut Pro are barely hearable depending on the audio card. The better speaker systems do fine but the basic set up can't play the clip without losing half the sound. This is a school broadcast so please let me know as simple as you can Thanks

Hi WildcatPubs,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
What camera model are you working with? Does it have 5.1 Surround Sound?
Can you provide some additional details about the type of audio system you're using to play back that doesn't sound loud enough in Final Cut Pro X? Are you playing back directly from the Mac's built-in speakers or connecting to a set of headphones or speakers?
Have you adjusted the volume level and playback device in System Preferences so that other applications have sufficient audio level?
Here's how:

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

SAP does neither "recommend" nor "deny" any processors.

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.

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.

Issue with Message Type Triggering during Inbound Delivery Creation

Hi Experts,
Hi Experts,
Currently we are facing issue with message type triggering during inbound delivery creation:
In NACE transaction for Inbound delivery we have 3 custom output types:
Pricing Procedure Used is standard one -> E10001
Z140 Inbound Delivery Create (This should get triggered when IB delivery is created)
Z141 Inbound Delivery Change (This should get triggered when IB Delivery is changed)
Z142 Inbound Delivery Delete(This should get triggered when IB Delivery is deleted).
At present if i check delivery in VL33 -> Extras -> Delivery Output
Both Z140 and Z141 are being triggered during IB delivery creation. While it should be only Z140.
Could you please suggest that are we missing any configuration in SPRO or we need to create any custom routine (requirement) to handle this?
Thanks

Hi,
There is no fine-tuned control for inbound delivery messages as for Purchase order. Hence I guess to meet your above requirement, you have to go for a custom solution similar to the PO fine tune control settings.
Thanks,

Acquiring 24-bit sound with a third-party sound card... truncation issues.

I am having a very strange problem when using LabVIEW to acquire audio
data via the Windows API from a Creative Professional E-MU 1616m sound
card. The goal is to acquire sound in 24-bit resolution.
When capturing sound in 16-bit mode (as set in the LabVIEW software),
the E-MU 1616m behaves as expected, with a 105dB SNR and approximately
-130dB noise floor, after dithering. However, when switching to
24-bit capture mode, a very severe truncation occurs. This sends
the harmonic distortion and noise through the roof. After
investigating fairly deeply in our LabVIEW code, I am wondering what
might be the problem.
I have compiled a number of screenshots which showcase the problem in more detail.
Here is a background of the experiment:
For these tests, both the analog and digital audio was generated by an
Audio Precision System Two system, and was passed directly into the
respective line-level or digital audio inputs. Digital audio was
tested using both coax and optical cable. In the sound card
control software, the audio was sent directly from the input channel
into the WAVE IN L/R (via the Windows API, I assume). The
sampling rate for the profile was 96kHz.
The sampling rate in all LabVIEW functions was set to 96kHz. The sample rate set in the AP Digital generator was 96kHz.
ANALOG 20dBu 96kHz 16bit.jpg
In this test, everything looks fine. The audio input is at
Full-scale for the E-mu's ADCs. It is exhibiting expected 16-bit
performance (with dithering).
ANALOG 20dBu 96kHz 24bit.jpg
Now we instruct the driver to capture sound in 24 bits. Notice
that the noise floor and THD+N go up considerably. Effects of
truncation become visible on the time-domain display.
ANALOG -20dBu 96kHz 16bit.jpg
Now we drop the input level to -20dBu. The performance
starts to look a little messy but is still acceptable. Note,
however, the high peaks on the odd harmonics.
ANALOG -20dBu 96kHz 24bit.jpg
Now we try to capture at 24 bits. The effects of truncation are extreme at this low signal level.
ANALOG -60dBu 96kHz 16bit.jpg
Now we are at extremely low signal levels. Individual
quantization levels can be seen on the signal. Dither is also
present. Performance is still good.
ANALOG -60dBu 96kHz 24bit.jpg
However, when increasing the resolution to 24 (which should increase
the number of quantization levels), our signal is reduced to a square
wave. Obviously something is wrong.
DIGITAL 0dB 16bit 96kHz 16bit.jpg
Now on to the digital tests. We start with full-scale. We
used an AP outputting a properly dithered 16-bit signal over an optical
cable. The soundcard is instructed to receive in 16 bit
mode. It looks good.
DIGITAL 0dB 16bit 96kHz 24bit.jpg
Using the same input, we change to 24 bit receive mode.
DIGITAL 0dB 24bit 96kHz 16bit.jpg
Now we set up the AP to output a properly dithered 24-bit signal at
full-scale. The dips in the frequency domain show us that
something is wrong.
DIGITAL 0dB 24bit 96kHz 24bit.jpg
Receiving in 24-bit mode. Same story as before.
DIGITAL -90dB 16bit 96kHz 16bit.jpg
Now we decrease the amplitude to a low level. Well-implemented dither is shown here clearly.
DIGITAL -90dB 16bit 96kHz 24bit.jpg
However, receiving in 24-bit mode reduces the signal to a dithered square wave.
DIGITAL -90dB 24bit 96kHz 16bit.jpg
Here is the low-level signal with the AP generating a 24-bit
signal. Dither is applied, but vanishes in the e-mu 1616m.
It seems the dither level has been changed. This is the cause of
our dips from before.
DIGITAL -90dB 24bit 96kHz 24bit.jpg
And finally, we transmit and receive in 24-bits. Here are the results.
We have achieved similar results using several of your breakout boxes and soundcards.
Attached are all screenshots, as well as the main VI (AP Test.vi) and
the dependent vi's. There are a number of SVT vi's in the
project, but they can be ignored since they are not related to the
problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Brett Gildersleeve

Hi Brett,
I took a look at the code you attached, but it appears that you may have left out the subvi that actually acquires the sound. When you say Windows API, I assume that you are calling a DLL at some point. How are you configuring the inputs (or what function are you using)? It could be (and this is just a guess) that when you specify 24 bits, the DLL returns the data in a very specific format. If you don't interpret the bits that are returned correctly, LabVIEW may not know what to do with them, as LabVIEW does not have a native 24-bit datatype. If there is any documentation for these function calls, our answer might there...
Just some thoughts -- thanks for posting your solution!

HS 1000 USB with creative x-fi sound card

Hi there
I've a question for creative: why in your website don't you say that the headset disable any soundcard and sets itself as the default audio device? That's because I've already a creative x-fi soundcard and when i bought this product i expected to make the most of its capability since i have both soundcard and headset of creative. Now what should i do considering that i would get a better sound plugging an headset directly into my soundcard?
thanks for your replies

___Hello, frustrated!! I empathize with you totally!! I own one Dell and 4 Mac's (for my creative work) including one top of the line MacPro, and I, too, have the 5.1 (and beyond!) sound problem issue. I agree with you that it is terrible that, in my case, after spending $12,000 for this bleeding edge technology, it only comes with stereo capability! When I used my older G-4, I was extremely happy for years with the Revolution 7.1 Surround Sound Card, by a great company called M-Audio. This card worked seamlessly right out of the box.....the software was so easy to use, too. So, naturally I was really shocked and bummed out a few months ago, when I learned from their tech support and sales team there, that no, this card will NOT work on the MacPro.
From the M-Audio website: Re: A_pple Intel Mac Pro & DualCore PowerMac G5 desktop compatibility_
The new Intel based Mac Pro desktop computers, as well as the latest generation DualCore PowerMac G5's, have PCI-Express slots, and not PCI or PCI-X (Like the Delta/Revolution Series cards). Not only are the data rates on PCI-Express different from PCI/PCI-X, but PCI-Express uses serial data transfers versus PCI/PCI-X transferring its data in a parallel fashion. For these reasons, a PCI-Express type motherboard connector (or "slot") is physically different from a PCI or PCI-X type connector. Therefore a PCI-Express adapter will not physically fit in a PCI or PCI-X slot, and vice-versa. This is true regardless of the adapter card's manufacturer.
All of our current USB and FireWire interfaces are compatible with the new Intel Based Mac Pro and late model DualCore PowerMac G5 computers.
Please use their link: http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=products.family&ID=recording
Of course, I prefer the efficient elegance of an internal card, rather than an external box providing more desktop clutter, but at least this is a solution for us! Best of luck to you!!

Having trouble with my Xtreme Gamer sound card

I have an Alienware computer that came with the card and its software pre-installed. It has worked fine until today when BF2 would no longer recognize the card. When I uninstalled the software to reinstall it, it said I didn't have any devices. What should I do? I want to refrain from opening the case. Thanks!

Ya know, it is funny I ran across this thread. I am having the exact same problem with my Alienware and am currently working at trying to resolve it. So far I tried to force the drivers and it did not seem to like that so much. Older patch I found?didn't work. I think my next step is to uninstall everything creative and crack the case open and try removing the card. Then try a different slot if able or boot the comp a couple times without it, and then install it back in the?same slot. No IRQ?problems I checked that. I read somewhere that sometimes something in the bios can bug out and it needs to be re-checked in. Not sure of the exact terms of it atm, but I hope you get the idea. A quick fix that I did find that should work for you as well is to make sure?all?Creative?drivers are cleaned out and then use windows update to search for optional downloads. It finds a driver for the X-Fi that actually works.
Below is a copy/paste of a request for help?I placed on the Alienware boards just to give you an idea of where I am at. /startcopy?Hello,
I am at my wits end here. So figured I would come here and ask for some input. Basicly the problem I am having is I have poping/crackling sounds coming from my speakers while playing FSX. What is wierd is it only happens in certain missions and/or planes. It also sounded way messed up at the desktop and during sound tests but I was able to fix that by changing the freq to 24bit lowest hrtz setting studio quality.
I have been doing a ton of research into this problem and it would seem if I updated my drivers there is a good chance there is a fix in there for me.. I would hope so as I have tried everything under the sun. Known knowledge and reading every forum I could find.
The big problem I can't seem to over come is that no matter which drivers I use they tell me I am unable to use them because they do not see a Creative X-Fi on my machine. The newest Creative drivers tell me this. Even the Creative drivers that came with my AW backup disk act the same way. The only driver that I could get to work is the one that windows update supplies when the driver is fully uninstalled. What is even funnier is that when I use my AW Respawn disk that is also installs the same exact drivers that Windows Update installs for that card. Which are ancient. Antique really.
So why would no new Creative drivers want to work? No AW supplied backup drivers want to work? No downloaded X-Fi drivers downloaded from AW site want to work. And why would AW give me a driver for backup when even they themselves obviously did not get that one to work because the respawn disk uses the same old drivers windows update supplies when no drivers are installed?
I have tried Winzip to unpack the the .exe file and update wizard says that I have the best drivers already installed. Even though these ones just came out. I have even tried to force the drivers in with the have disk option and that just resulted in an unbootable pc thanks to the blue screen of death right after bios flash screen.
So, how do I get any Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer drivers to install. I have to be able to update them, in hopes that they will fix my crackling/static problem..
Just got the machine the other day so I haven't tried installing other games. And I do realize that AW is not respossible for FSX issues. But I really do find it odd that even my backup drivers won't work, and they were not even used anyways during the build process.. I would have hoped this issue would have been fixed in house then. So it has me really concerned.
What is my next step? Bios update?(this computer was built around Nov st 07.), Move card around maybe?(shouldn't this have been done before shipping?).. oh my head hurts from this one. I have never had to fold and give up and come to a forum for help. I am truly stumped.

/endpaste?So far there have been no reply. Someone from Alienware did call us and got in contact with my wife about the post. They?left a message with her?that I should try and install the newest drivers that Creative just released a few days ago. If they would have actually read my post they would have known I did try that. Really my biggest problem left is to get any Creative driver to see I do indeed have?a Creative X-Fi installed so I may update my drivers. Having a sound issue and not being able to update my drivers is driving me insane really. I?honestly?do feel I can learn more by reading around myself than calling them and wasting away a few good hours on the phone with someone that is?gonna?be just as confused about it as I am. lol??Going to get the time to crack her open tonight, late night. I can not wait to pull the numbers off of it and see what I got going on. I will make sure to stop back in and report my findings. Or if anyone has any input, any at all feel free to throw it my way.

But this doesn't solve all my problems.
I'm still searching for a way of how to use the internal intel sound card as default PCM device if the USB sound is unplugged or not available during boot.
Any ideas?

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,

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.

No sound with Flash 11.3 - Sound card conflict?

After updating to Flash 11.3 (11.3.300.257) on a Dell desktop on April 10 there was no sound in Firefox, Chrome or Safari. There was sound in Internet Explorer (IE9). I think I have determined that the source of my sound problems was some kind of conflict between Flash 11.3, my sound card and the three browsers above. My sound card is a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE.
If audio was output through the Dell's built-in sound there was sound with Flash 11.3. If audio was output through the sound card there was no sound with Flash 11.3.
I also have an HP notebook computer (no sound card; HP says current notebooks use built-in sound) running Windows 7 (64). I downloaded Flash 11.3 from: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ on April 16 and have sound on Firefox, IE9, Chrome and Safari.
There have, however, been two crashes reported on Firefox.
On two computers my experience has been that if audio is being output through the computer's built-in sound that sound works all right in Flash 11.3 .
If you are having problems with sound in Flash 11.3 please describe the problems, system information and details about any sound card you are using.
Maybe the good people at Adobe will provide some guidance about what information they would like to see here.

Here are more details in case these might help users or the Adobe team.
Prior to updating to Flash 11.3 I had 11.2 on Windows Vista (32) on a Dell E510 desktop with external speakers connected to the sound card. There were never any problems with sound with Flash 11.2 or previous versions. Drivers on the sound card are up to date.
I filed a bug report about the sound issues on April 11, number 3210981.
Also, there are 15 crash reports on my Firefox browser from April 10 to 14 (accessed by typing "about:crashes" in the address bar) .
I reverted to Flash 10.3 on April 14 and there was sound in IE, Firefox and Safari. There was no sound in Chrome which had automatically updated to Flash 11.3
On April 17 I did an experiment.
When external speakers were connected to the Sound Blaster Audigy sound card (and the sound control panel was set to "Speakers SB Audigy") there was no sound in Chrome (Flash 11.3).
When the speakers were connected to the computer's built-in sound output (and the sound control panel was set to the computer's built-in audio, "Speakers SigmaTel...") there was sound in Chrome (Flash 11.3). Note: restart may be required for changes in the sound control panel to take effect.
There was sound in Firefox with Flash 10.3 with either configuration.
Finally, I physically removed the sound card and connected the speakers to the computer's built-in output. (I probably didn't need to physically remove the sound card but I wanted to anyway.) I updated to Flash 11.3 and now I have sound in Firefox, IE9, Chrome and Safari.
It remains to be seen if there will still be crashes on Firefox.

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
