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

  • 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.

  • How to I contact Apple about a support issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot access my game center account that I had previously. It created a new one for me with my new apple ID instead of keeping the old one.

    I want to submit an issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I had an account set up that I used to play online games. I changed my appleID and then I no longer could access my game center account. I, apparently, had a new game center account created for me (which is friends with my old account) and now I cannot access my original game center account.
    If I can't get access to email apple directly (which seems ridiculously difficult to do), then someone please tell me how to FIX the issue.
    Thank you

    Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
    Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.

  • Issue with Game Center Accounts

    I believe this was posted previously by richardgraham90, but i am having an issue with game center. It seems that i somehow have two active game center accounts under one apple ID. I have been using one ever since i got the itouch 4, and just a few weeks ago game center asked me to create another account? im not sure why, but now whenever i open games it asks me to log on to game center, as if my previous game center account isnt working. my old account had all of my freinds and achievements on it, and this new account has nothing. i was just wondering if it was possible to delete this "secondary" account that was somehow created on my apple id. this is a very annoying glitch and game center will not stay signed in to my previous account. if anyone has any ideas or fixes regarding this, that would be extremely helpful. thanks

  • Issues with games, video card issue?

    Hi,
    I have been having issues with games lately. Mostly they are hidden object games from  Big Fish, but they start up then minimize, it doesn't crash completely just minimizes, I click on it again and it works for a few seconds and minimizes itself again and again. I am unable to play the games because it keeps minimizing. could this be an issue with my video card? I have attempted updating it but it doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

    Ok OK, Update...
    the games work perfectly on my father's HP which runs windows 7...so it definatly is NOT because of not updated stuff....I really dont know what else to do at this point....no suggestions from anyone?!?!?!

  • 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.
