Bad Audio Under My Profile in Leopard

I have an iMac G5 running 10.5.8. I recently bought some new speakers for my computer, hooked them up and found out the sound was really bad sounding (like underwater). At first I thought it was my speakers, but I plugged in my iPhone and it sounded great.
I have another user profile on my iMac, so I went into it and ran iTunes and the sound in there is great as well. Only under my profile, that it has the bad audio. I went through and looked if any third party sound enhancement software was installed and couldn't come up with anything. Also I turned off all the Equalizer and Sound enhancer stuff in iTunes.
This isn't just related to iTunes on my profile either but everything (Safari, Garageband, Games, etc).
Is there anyway I can get it to default settings without having to reinstall system software? My superdrive crapped out on me too so I can't use the Leopard disc anymore.

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Since your problem is limited to one account it's probably due to something in <thathomefolder>/Library , It sounds like you may have checked the Audio folder there. The other place to check is the Preferences folder. Create a folder on your computer's Desktop to hold moved filed, then move anything that looks like it might involve your problem from the Preferences folder to the folder in the Desktop, log out and back in, the see if you still have the problem. If you do, put the moved file(s) back to the original spot.
If you don't see any files obviously related to the problem, you could then drag half the files in the Preferences folder to the folder on the Desktop, then repeat the process of logging out and back in and testing. If the problem still exists, put the moved files back, replacing any newly-created files. Then repeat with the second half of the files.
Once you've identified a group of files that affect the problem, note the first and last file in the group, move them back as well, then repeat the whole process with the new group by moving out the first half of the group, etc. With each cycle you'll be dealing with half as many files. Eventually you'll be able to identify the culprit.
It's possible that the problem lies in another folder within the Library folder. It would be a little trickier trying the approach above to items in the Library folder, but it might work. Another approach you might try is to copy folders from the Library folder of the other account to your main account. If you want to try that, I'd copy that account's entire Library folder to the "Shared" account by holding down an "option" key while you drag it. That will put that Library folder in a place where you can access it from your main account. As before, I'd save anything you're replacing until you're sure you haven't damaged anything.

Workaround for playing audio under several slides

There is a workaround (albeit a bit clumsy) for playing audio tracks under a series of slides throughout a presentation. Divide the slideshow into individual slideshow segments (A, B, C, D, etc.) and whenever you need to play audio under a series of slides, create this series as a separate segment, with the audio track running as the "soundtrack." Then, you can link each segment to the next via a "hyperlink."
BEWARE, however, that although the audio will play throughout the segment, you still must do all of your Builds and Transitions manually (or automatically) because they will NOT playback with the "automation" feature of a "recorded" soundtrack presentation.
You also will not be able to play (or preview) any "recorded" slideshow from anywhere but the beginning.
I said it was cumbersome, but it does work ... sort of ...

A profile is used on iOS device to add specific settings and similar things to an iOS device. Tryically, they are added when the iOS devices is controlled by a company or school.
However, some apps install a profile. If your iPod is not controlled by a company or school then it seems an app added the profile. You can good the title if the profile and see if that gives any info.

Multiple logins/passwords possible for one site under one profile?

I have three user log-ins at one site (personal, work, and volunteer group). Is it possible to get FF to remember all three pairs of log-ins/passwords under one profile? When I try to set the password for the second log-in, it changes the stored password for the first. It's a real pain when I use all three on a regular basis to have only one of the three stored.
Thanks,
Dale

when the keyboard is open hold on the happy face for a second and from the menu list that pops up turn off the switch for PREDICTIVE. That did it for me. When I start typing the firts letter of the login name now it predicts in yellow and I press space and fills it in, then I have to press the delete button to remove the space before pressing enter.

if you see here they are using method like getEmail() etc for displaying data on front end screen.
at the top of this file there is a bean file included -
<jsp:useBean id="data" scope="request" class="com.sap.pct.hcm.employeeprofile.generaldata.GeneralDataBean"
this must be having all methods..bt i don know where this bean file can be acceessed? i cant see it anywhere in my extracted PAr file.
The only requrement of mine is to display postion number next to the text(text is already getting displayed)..

Is there an audio interface for Imac with Leopard???

Hi Guys,
Im new here. Just got my IMac 24" 2.8ghz 10.5.1 Leopard last week. I love everything about it but Im having a real hard time finding an audio interface to use with Garageband. I tried the M-Audio Firewire Solo...found out quick it is not compatible. So I figure what the ** i'll downgrade and go with the M-Audio Mobilepre USB audio interface...usb, no fuss no muss right...WRONG! It doesnt work either! I tried downloading the most current driver from M-audio's website but still no go. I guess Leopard and intel machines are hard to please. Also the audio interface has to have phantom power to run a condensor mic. So my questions to you guys is this:
1. Are there any other audio interface options out there with phantom power for $200 or less that will run with my Imac ?
2. If not, why in the ** would Apple design a machine with Garageband then not set it up to accept any reasonably priced audio interface currently on the market? Tell me Im just uninformed...say it isnt so!
Sorry if it sounds like Im aggravated...I am! I had hoped to get some recording time in this weekend but its looking doubtful now.
I did post this in the Garageband discussion as well...thanks.
Any help with the mobile preamp, other interface recommendations, etc. are greatly appreciated!
Paul

Could you be a little more specific about what you mean
by "not compatible" -- is it a lack of Leopard drivers,
or what?
I haven't fiddled with GarageBand, but I have been using
[M-Audio's Fast Track Pro|http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackPro-main.html] with audacity, and it seems to
work OK. (My beta-release ov audacity has some stability
problems, but I don't think they're M-Audio-related.)
Did you check M-Audio's web site for Leopard-compatible
drivers? The one for Fast Track Pro wasn't released 'til
mid December, if I remember correctly.
Although firewire is probably technically superior, I
went with USB to avoid conflicts between the audio box
and my Firewire external HD. There have been too many
reports of flakey operation with iMac firewire drivers.
I like the Fast Track Pro, but I'm not sure it would
be my first choice if I had it to do over. It's main
drawback is that it's USB 1.1 -- so, there are some
tradeoffs in the number of simultaneous I/O channels
versus data rate and resolution.
I've listed a few other USB options worth exploring
below -- I believe they all have phantom power:
[E-Mu 0404 USB|http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?category=610&subcategory=611&produc t=15185]
[Edirol UA-25|http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=704&ParentI d=114]
[Line6 TonePort UX2|http://line6.com/toneportux2>
I'm not sure what the situation is WRT Leopard-compatible
drivers for any of the above -- you'll have to check the
manufacturers' web sites.
Check amazon.com and MusiciansFriend.com for prices; also,
be sure to check the customer comments on MusiciansFriend.
They're often very thorough and informative -- typically
much better than Amazon's.

SuperDrive makes bad audio CD

My MBP is a 15" Core2 2.33GHz with Matshita UJ-875D drive, and it's been making bad audio CDs.
I'm using iTunes to make my CDs, and the CDs always play fine on my MBP. But as soon as I take those discs to my car or my older computers, they start to make static noises or skip. Usually the first few tracks would be fine, then start to get some noise on 5th track or so, then they skip like crazy past 10th track.
I take the same batch of CD-R and use my trusty old PB 12" 1.5GHz to burn the same music, and the CD worked great.
I'm hoping this is just a bad media issue (Fuji Film discs by the way), but seeing how my PB was not picky at all about blank discs I'm starting to wonder. Any thoughts or similar experiences?

From what i recall in these forums, the superdrive is really picky about CD models. Im using HP CD-R and they work fine. Its probably the type of CD you're using. And another way to prevent this is to not touch your computer at all while it burns, back in the old old old old old old old old old oldo ldo ld old days, remember when we had to basically not move the entire house we were in and let the burning soak up all the CPU% to get a good burn? XD. Id try a differant type of CD, just trade off some with someone else and test them.

Problems capturing audio under linux

Hello. I have developed an application that captures audio using the Audio API of JFM. The problem is when I start capturing audio under Linux (all the audio devices are well configurated), the JVM returns the following error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException : Illegal request to write non integral numbre of
frames (13107 bytes)
The piece of code that causes the error is :
while(!stop) {
numBytesRead = inputLine.read(data,0, data.length); bufferoutput.write(data,0,
numBytesRead); }
where inputLine is a TargetDataLine.
Under Windows this runs OK. Anyone know why not under Linux?
Thanks

Hi!
I'm developing a videoconferencing application on Linux and I can't
capture audio; I get messages like these: "couldn't initialize audio device"
or " or "java.io.IOException: Cannot open audio device for input." from JMStudio.
Have you got any idea about the problem ?
Thankyou.

My iphone 5 has bad audio qualities when using the telephone properties: what solution was offered by apple or provider?

I have a new iphone 5 that has a very bad audio quality when using the basic telephone function. Both wen called or calling the conversation is either of quite poor quality or drops awau alltogether. The latter happens sometimes 5 times on a row during one conversation or better attempt to have one..:)
Who has similar problems and what has been the solution offered by apple or their provider?

I have the same issue with the following setup:
Garmin 2597LMT
iPhone 5
Motorola T605 bluetooth hardsfree system
I ended up disabling the nuvi bluetooth -- I don't subscribe to any smartlink services -- so I'll guess i'll go without Weather on the nuvi for now.

Bad audio connection

I have a 1st gen ipod shuffle, and it seems that the audio connection is bad. My left ear bud is not working. I even tried different earbuds. if I push the audio connection to one side, I can hear audio on the left side. How can I fix this? I looked all over the discussions and could not find anything on this. I also googled this problem, and it looks like I can order a broken one on ebay and replace the part? Any other Ideas??
This is no longer under warranty.
Thanks!!

See my response to your other post.

Printing with ICC profiles: Aperture/Leopard/Canon 9500

My Canon 9000 prints perfectly with Aperture 1.5 and 2.0 under Tiger.
A friend with a Canon 9500 eports that the cannot turn off color correction in the printer driver under Leopard. It seems that the option is greyed out.
There is a bit of chatter about this in various PS/LR and other forums.
Is anyone printing successfully from AP to a Canon 9500 under Leopard? If so, what driver and settings are you using?
DiploStrat

I just picked up the 9000 today and I had the same problem too. I discovered that the CUPS driver doesn't allow turning off the profile in the driver. I installed the other driver that is available from the Canon website and it does allow it to be set to 'none'. It is the 4.8.5 version. However, the results I am getting do not look as good as it does from iPhoto with the same settings. I am still experimenting with it.

Bad audio during DV capture

I've just moved up from iMovie 04 and I seem to recall the bug/problem was the same back then. When using Formac's firewire DV converter to capture VHS to iMovie, it sees the video just fine and in the importing process I HEAR the audio fine too, but when playback of the clip, the video looks fine, but the audio is horribly corrupted with a "machine gun" audio that has no connection to soundtrack. As far back as iMovie 04 I think that was the same problem. Does anyone have a solution? It's odd that during import all seems well. The quality of the capture is better than some other 3rd party DV capture apps out there (such as Quicktime Broadcaster!) because the primary difficulty with them is proper FPS even though that setting is made (either 29.97 or 30 FPS). Those apps are usually underpar.
I think this MAY be an audio rate sampling. iMovie may be capturing in one rate but playback is bad because is in another rate? How can this be fixed?

We got this fixed by having someone (and Apple Genius) show us that the Apple Final Cut Express preferences were under the /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences path. We had only looked in the /Library/Preferences/ path. We didn't realize there were two places for preferences.
So, Tom, you were right.
Chalk it up to Mac newbie ignorance.
Thanks for your help.

My mac's software is only available under my profile on MacBook pro. How can other family members get to the optional SW logged in under their own profile

Is there a way to share purchased SW under mote than one profile on the MacBook pro?
Thanks

If the software is in the HD>Applications folder it's available to everyone. If for some reason you put software into User>Applications folder it will be available only to that user.

Bad audio connection on P-35 Platinum moBo, while capturing analog video?

Before I give up, I'm reaching out to MSI and any persons suffering from out-of-sync audio and video capture issues while using Pinnacle Studio Video editing software. Studio Ultimate HD v.14.
I've posted numerous inquiries to the Pinnacle Support team, the Pinnacle Forum site, as well as the GrassValley (Canopus 110 or 300, I was thinking about trying that) and really never got anywhere.
A few people had mentioned maybe the sync issue could be caused by a bad analog signal and it will drop video or audio frames hence the sync problem. Bringing the video into the capture mode in Studio is fine, but the audio has about a 6 second latency delay, which never recovers.
Could it be the REALTEK HD Sound Audio on my P-35 MoBo, maybe bad? I play music, and everything else coming out of my speakers sound fine, it's just the syncing issues with a PCI device that never locks in both the Video with the audio, because there are two different incoming devices. Analog camera video-out to PCI Video-IN, and audio out from analog camera to onboard, MoBo Realtek audio input.
The PCI-500 capture that originally came with my first Studio product (Studio movieboard 12.1) has NO Audio RCA input, only FireWire, S-video, and Video IN and OUT)
P-35 Platinum MS-7345 Mobo
Windows XP Home Edition SP3
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs)

Realtek HD Audio Output Sound
DirectX version: 9.0c
Monitor: Viewsonic VX2035wm Series
WD 500 GB HDD / WD 74GB RAPTOR HDD
Pinnacle PCI-500 Capture card

I use the MSI Live Update 4 to update drivers, BIOS, VGA,and Utilities. This system is about four years old. I'm just afraid to flash or update BIOS, thinking I could screw things up.
So I guess my question here is to ask, if maybe the audio input jack on my P-35 Mobo could be defective? Thank you!

Have you try out with a standalone add on sound card? Sometimes, sync problem can be due to processing power or RAM space needed for rendering and merging.
