Audio Monitoring, external tv viewer - no sound on tv

Hi.
I'm having trouble getting my tv to play the audio as I view it. Is that normal?
I can hear it on my computer, and i can see it on my tv, but I can't hear it.
When I fiddle with View>Audio settings>Follow video, or >default, best I can do is hear real sketchy sound - almost like I'm listening to the fan on my computer through my camcorder.
Any thoughts? I like the speakers built into my tv better than the ones on my computer.
Thanks!
fcp 5.1.4, Macbookpro w intel; wd 250 passport drive for scratch; firewire ntsc video out to camcorder, rca and dv (roundish jack) into tv.
Using View>all frames, refresh external device, and tried all Audio playback settings.

Audio follows video is the correct setup for sending audio to the camera then on to the monitor.
Are your audio cables connected correctly?
Do you have the camera set up properly to pass through the DV>analog conversion?
Is the audio in 48khz/16bit format?

Audio monitoring- external mixer or Mac line-out?

Is it preferable to monitor audio from FCP through an external mixer (Mackie 1202) or is it OK to simply set output to the Macpro line-out?
(I notice the Bars and tone peak at -12- which reads as -10 on my mixer.
For some reason i have always been used to setting my peak at 0 on the mixer
So I'm confused if i should forget the external mixer all together- and just turn it on for the rare occasion I import analog signal)

The main reasons for using an external analog mixer like the 1202 are:
1. if you need a level control for your monitor speakers.
2. if you have other analog sound sources that you want to mix in with your computer output
3. if you need to need two headphone outputs for a voiceover session
For most activities, you don't really need it.
However, monitoring from your headphone output, whether it goes through
a mixer or not, is not the best choice for computer audio.
The best way to monitor your computer's audio is with a Firewire audio
interface, taking digital out from FCP, and using high-quality converters
to convert it to analog. Something like this:
http://www.mackie.com/products/onyx820i/
The meter on your 1202 is for analog signals. Typically you set those
levels to be about 0dB on the Mackie's meter, which should correspond
to +4 dBu on your main analog outputs.
The meter in FCP is for digital audio. On that meter 0dB represents the
absolute maximum, with no headroom, so you'll want to keep your levels
around -12dB, more accurately -12dBFS.
Since the headphone output is not pro, it would make sense that
-12dBFS = -10dBu. In other words, your headphone jack's normal
analog output level is lower than the normal pro audio +4dBu.

How do i get the slideshow to display on my external monitor in extended view with powerpoint?

i have my T500 (windows 7) connected to a large external monitor with extended view. when i run powerpoint it displays the slideshow on my laptap screen instead of the external view. how can i have the presenter view show on my laptop, and the slideshow show on the external monitor/projector?
thanks!

You can do it that way, (Clone) but everything you do on your laptop will also be displayed on the monitor.
Assuming you would like the display on the external and freedom to navigate on your laptop without broadcasting, you would need to adjust your slide show settings in PowerPoint.
To use this procedure:
In PowerPoint, On the Slide Show menu, click Set Up Show.
Under Multiple monitors > Display slide show on drop down menu: select the monitor you want the slide show to appear on.

Audio Monitoring of System Sound

Hi,
I am an editor and I'd like to control my edit suites seamlessly, everything looks great so far except for the lack of audio monitoring.
Is there a technical reason why it's not possible to monitor audio?
Thanks

As Templeton said, no one here would know why Apple did not elect to include such a feature. I could guess, but it would only be a guess.
You can indicate to Apple your interest in such a feature via their feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/remotedesktop.html
I think it unlikely that such a feature will be included, but one can hope.

Audio monitoring follows video to Firewire Output

I'm a new FCS/Soundtrack Pro user but have been using ProTools LE and HD for some time.
When I select Video Out Firewire to view my video on an external monitor my audio monitoring follows and feeds the firewire device instead of my internal Mac outputs or my DIGI-002R.
I only want to view the vision on the monitor and keep my audio outputs playing through the DIGI002R. Is there any way of achieving this or am I missing something in the setup?

Proper Audio Monitoring

I'm looking at taking the next step with my setup, so that means proper audio monitoring. Can I get that just by taking the 1/8" audio out from my MacBook Pro, or do I need to go through an external box like a MXO 2 or AJA Express to get proper audio like I need to get proper video monitoring? I'm just doing simple stereo audio, no surround sound.
Thanks,
-Brian

Well, mainly as volume control. But I also have it connected to a deck, so I have TWO sources that I can then control the volume for. Well, three. I have Avid and hardware for that too. But mainly it is a volume knob. Thus it is a small mixer.

Audio levels in the Viewer

After recording or capturing an audio clip in FCE 3.5, I play it and monitor levels in the floating levels meter. Then when I open that same audio clip in the Viewer to adjust the level, I find it's is always set to zero db, instead of the level at which the clip was recorded/captured.
Question: Does an audio clip's level in the Viewer always default to zero, regardless of the level the clip was recorded/captured at?
Thanks.

OK.
And, since I don't have an audio levels meter on my camera, I don't really KNOW what level I'm recording at; so, beyond knowing the dynamic range of my equipment, can I assume that after ingesting into FCE, upon playback, if the floating levels meter is not going red, and the waveform in the Viewer is not clipped at the peaks or valleys, that I have good sound?
Thanks.

Monitoring HDV through Decklink with Firewire Audio Monitoring - Latency

A question for all you pro's out there...
I am currently using Final Cut Studio on a Mac Pro with a Decklink HD Extreme card for monitoring video and a M-Audio Firewire 410 for audio monitoring. My output settings in FCP are having the Decklink for video viewing on a HD Monitor, and Using the firewire 410 for a multichannel audio output. I seem to be having a sync issue with the video and audio not in sync. Does anyone know how I might can correct this sync issue?
What is everyone doing for Multichannel sound?
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!
Bob

Did you capture threw the BM Decklink? You might have an issue with sync if you did. If you used firewire then its an adjustment I sure. I'm sure there must be a control panel for the BM Decklink. If you can't find it take two asprins call Black Magic in the morning.
Good Luck

Audio Monitoring during Log & Capture

New user here and just setting things up. I'm able to hear audio after I have captured a clip but cannot hear/monitor audio during logging. What am I missing here? BTW - using onboard iMac speakers and headphone jack for monitoring.

I have the same problem and its driving me crazy! I don't think it is supposed to work this way, especially if you have 8 cores worth of processing power. More than enough to view and listen during capture and log review process.
Here is my situation:
Camera: Sony HC7
Connection: Firewire
Video Setting on Camera: HDV 1080i60 with 16 bit 48hz Audio
Program: Final Cut Studio Pro 2
During Log and Capture Preview (HDV settings) there is not an option to turn audio on although you can view the sound bars moving just fine. I have not been able to find any documentation that say FCP does not allow you to listen to audio during preview. I think this is a bug or at least an option that FCP should allow the user to turn-on or turn off.
My question is this: Should it be working? And if so, why not? And if its not allowed then Why Doesn't the documentation say so????? I've noticed that if you're capturing from standard DV devices that you elect to turn the audio on/off.
Like this post, if I capture it into the application then everything works just fine and the audio is there.
Please help. Thanks

Hello, I just bought a 2013 Mac mini and I cannot get the sound to output to my Dell U2713HM monitor. I went to sound output but even though my Dell shows up there when I select it there is no sound output to it. I am using a mini DP to DP cable...

Hi Alxx911, and John Hammer1. After reading John's reply - " You can plug something into it's headphone jack. though" . I thought i'd try out of curiosity. I plugged in some headphones. I didn't expect anything to happen and nothing happened. The audio jack is for the Dell soundbar which is optional.
Here's a direct copy and paste from the users manual: Section About Your Monitor.
Attaching the Soundbar AX510 / AX510PA (Optional) CAUTION: Do not use with any device other than the Dell Soundbar. NOTE: The Soundbar power connector (+12 V DC output) is for the optional Dell Soundbar AX510/AX510PAonly. To attach the Soundbar: 1. Working from the back of the monitor, attach the Soundbar by aligning the two slots with the two tabs along the bottom of the monitor. 2. Slide the Soundbar to the left until it snaps into place. 3. Connectthe Soundbar with the DC power connector. 4. Insert the mini stereo plug from the back of the Soundbar into the computerís audio output jack. For HDMI/DP, you can insert the mini stereo plug into the monitorís audio output port. If there is no sound, check your PC if the Audio output is configured to HDMI/DP output.
This monitor has no speakers. (Like John Hammer1 mentioned). The no speakers feature was one of the reasons I chose this monitor.
Good Luck !

External speakers popping/clicking sounds on new 24" iMac 2,8 GHz

Hello everyone,
got a new iMac from Gravis in Germany and connected it via it's headphone jack to my external stereo amplifier and it emits clicking or popping sounds whenever I switch the light in my room on or off. I've used the same connection for my Windows PC and that is working fine - no pops or clicks. The problem also exists if the Mac is muted. I can not hear clicks or popping noises when I disconnect the external speakers and use the in-built ones.
I brought my Mac back to Gravis and explained the problem and they replaced the audio board and cabling. No success. The popping and clicking is still there. Replacing the audio cable with a better shielded one does not fix the problem. Turning the power connectors of amplifier and/or Mac 180° does not help also.
The problem seems to come from a bad shielding inside the Mac or the built-in power supply that is not capable of filtering the power surges.
I've found some threads but I'm not sure whether or not these issues are related. Some people seem to think that these problems are software related.
A workaround could be:
1) getting an online USV that disconnects the Mac from the power cabling
2) using the digital output (toslink)
3) getting an external Firewire or USB sound device for sound output
Neither of these three workarounds are options for me - I still want a fix for my Mac.
Anyone here who has the same problems?
vex

Hi Elvinio,
I'm trying to solve this problem by getting rid of the analog connection between Mac and stereo. I've ordered a digital 7.1 receiver for 250 Euro and a toslink cable for 20 Euro.
Another solution would be an online UPS. That UPS disconnects the Mac from the direct power source and delivers "freshly generated" and "perfect" current without disturbances.
I think that those pops are power surges that are not filtered by the Apple Mac's power supply. My ordinary Windows PC is not subject to clicking and popping sounds - so I suppose that either the power supply or the internal shielding of the Mac is crap.
I hope that those ugly pops are gone when I establish the new connection...
I will post the results of my not too cheap work-around.
Regards

Audio through External Display's Speakers. MD port to HDMI

Hi all
I have been trying to figure out how to do a simple thing like play audio through my new Samsung 27" monitor to use with my 15" MacBook Pro (late 2008 unibody model).
The monitor is a Samsung S27B750V. It is connected with a Mini Display Port to HDMI cable, which supports Audio.
I cannot seem to find a way to play the audio through my monitor's speakers.
My monitor will not appear in the Device output list on the Sound settings box.
Also, I have tried using the included seperate audio cable connecting the headphone socket to the monitor's audio input, but still no sound.
ANY suggestions will be most welcome!
Many Thanks

I see thanks- I never thought the mini Display port would have been different on my model.
I am still trying to use the audio cable provided with the display, through the MacBook headphone socket into the monitor's audio input, and that also is not seeming to work?
Should my device appear in the audio Device output list on the Sound settings box?

Audio Monitoring

Greetings,
I am curious as i set up my new editing studio. I currently have two creative desktop surround sound speakers connected to my mac pro - the sound is pretty good. however as I grow with editing I'm curious about another audio monitoring option.
I have a sound mixer (ssm-1850) that I picked up from radio shack some time ago - i also have two large speakers that i purchased with the mixer - could i use this setup for audio monitoring? if so what is the best way to set this up?
Also i have a MATROX MX02 with MAX -
If the 2nd setup is not a good idea - is it best to monitor through headphones? I have a pair of Sony MDR-V150
Any feedback is appreciated - thank you

A best practice setup is:
Mac->MX02->Mixer->Monitors
Set your audio monitors where the tweeters are at ear-level (you may have to buy monitor stands), and that they are the same distance from each other as they are from you forming a triangle, with them rotated toward you (not pointed straight out).
Monitoring for surround sound follows the same basic setup, but is more complicated.

Monitor primarily through at least project studio-quality monitors (i.e. M-Audio BX-5a's, Mackie HR-824's). Headphones are okay for comparing, as well as lesser speakers such as TV speakers or the internal speaker on your Mac Pro. That will give you a better idea of how your mix will translate.

Had this happen to me after a recent update, was super annoying. To turn off, go to Settings > AirPlay > Conference Room Display > Off.

I can get video on airplay anytime but i cannot get audio all the time. in sound output i select airplay but it only reverts back to internal speakers. same if i try earbuds. the only way to fix it is to restart computer. what do i do to fix it,

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.
