Can not change sound output. Help Please

Well, i've been digging all the forums lately in web. my problem is, i can't change my 'system' sound output to my sound card which is Native Instruments Audio8 Dj.
Let me explain my problem decently. I do the usual procedure, system preferences > sound > n then select the output. but nothing happens. it is always set on internal speakers or headphone or whatever plugged in to the *Built-in Output*. I try switching from audio-midi setup n that doesn't work as well. The system perfectly recognizes the sound card, i can get output from sound card with applications which have their own output settings. But i cant change the system output. I have the latest version of soundflower loaded(this might be causing the problem who knows), i used many soundcards before(or maybe even ex-drivers?) n they used to work until i updated to snow leopard. I also tried trashing the files in macintosh hd > library > preferences > audio >>
and those files *did not regenerate* after restart(like 10 times), so i had to copy them from my imac.(hehe). i tried resetting pram or nvram.(didn't do any good too)And also i tried trashing soundpref.plist which didn't do me any good neither. Now i need that sound card to give me my system output. I don't need drivers of any other ex-sound cards or whatever. My drivers are up to date. And im pretty sure this ain't an hardware fail.
So, any ideas? Thx.

I am having the exact same problem. I have spoken with Apple Care and they are having my case reviewed by "Engineers," apparently. Its very frustrating as I cannot listen to iTunes or any of my video games through my really nice monitor speakers. FYI, I had this problem without installing Sound Flower, since then I have installed it in the hopes that having something different to select it might work but no changes. If I hear any good news from Apple I will be back to let you know. This seems to be a very rare problem as I have only found one other post about this issue.

  • Nikon .NEF Files - can not import these files - help please

    Hi Folks.
    I just made the plunge into the dslr world, purchasing a nikon d40x. I want to shoot raw files and work with the keepers in PS. I saw LR and watched several on-line tutorials by michael tate, and decided to DL the trial version. I'm running windows XP, and attempted to import 51 .nef files and 8 .jpg files. I got the .jpgs - no problem, but received an error message for the .nefs as an "unrecanized format." I am importing directly from the camera, not a card reader.
    I have searched this forum quite a bit, and I am well aware of the perils of ver 1.0 anything, so I'm not totally surprised there are so many usability issues on this forum. I am surprised to learn that RAW files are not standardized, which seems counter productive to me. Cn you imagine various audio CDs that were proprietary? In reading this form, it appears I will need to focus on the .DNG format, as archival across multiple hardware is (or will be) important to me.
    On another note, how does a company release even a 1.0 version that does not reliably import nikon and cannon raw files? aren't these the perhaps two most popular camera manufacturers world-wide. In searching this forum, I noticed issues with nikon and canon raw files. Presumably oly, fuji, sigma, minolta, panasonic, kodak, and others work perfectly fine.
    I am prepared to wait while adobe gets this program ship shape, as LR looks like it is going to be a great program. Perhaps I need to get version 1.01, but I certainly do understand this: ver 1.0 is really a beta version, and were all beta testers!
    Again, any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. If I have to wait on LR for a while, is there anyone out there who would recommend another program?
    Thanks.

    D40X support should be available in ACR 4.1. Availability should be by the end of the week, according to dpreview. See

  • I am having trouble changing my macbook password i try entering my current password but my computer does not regonize it and i can not change it what do i need to do please help!!

    i need help i can not change the password it does that shaking boz thingy even thoough i put the correct password in

    Do you have a recovery partion. 
    When you forgot the password and you can't use OS X, you have to use the new Recovery.
    To boot in Recovery system, press Command and R keys in boot and hold the keys until you see the Apple icon. If you have a Mac with Internet Recovery, read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718. If your Mac has got a wireless keyboard, hold them when you hear the startup sound
    When it starts, select Utilities > Terminal, and type:
    resetpassword
    Press your user and type your password. Finally, reboot.

    I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I need to free up room on my computer. As of now, I can't even load updates. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please!

    I agree with Kappy.. passing files and especially via wireless is slow as slow.
    Just need to be sure your TC is the new AC model??
    And the OS on the computer is Lion?
    Have you completed the setup of the TC via the utility? You do still need to get internet via the TC so it has to be plugged into the main router..
    Give us the full picture of the network.
    Then we can help you get into it.. whether you should put your files on it is another question.

  • DESPERATE FOR HELP since downloading a separate outlook (from fast hosts) as addition to office mac 11 I can no longer access any Microsoft aps or documents including outlook - error messages 'can not change to identity for outlook'

    I had office 2011 installed on my computer without outlook - been working fine.
    I was given a trial of outlook decided against it at time due to cost - however my server provider fasthost have been offering outlook for free with a busines mail package. Trying to install it wouldn't due to the trail versions - so they gave me a step by step guide to remove outlook files.
    Once i completed this the new outlook worked fine for 24 hours - however then we noticed all of our office programmes had been removed aka can not access any data and we are a management consultancy. Then fasthost recommended we reinstall out orginal office CD which I did and then all of sudden when download was completed everything now is inaccessable.
    When I open outlook the message relays ' can not change to that idenity' I have tried to set up a new idenity and change permissions and even rebuilding it as per on line guides but when rebuilding it fails at the first step
    Rest of office IE WORD, EXCEL I just get microsforft has encountered a problem and needs to close unexpectidly everytime I try and click into it.
    I am now despirate as this is the second day we have had no access to anything and 6 day we have had no access to our documents \
    FASTSHOST do everything via email and no incoming phone line (which they will give anyway) so I really need help
    Any options advice greatly recieved
    I am also using the most recent software and have been doing regular software updates OS X Lion.

    I, too am wondering if it's the download site. I am not aware of any way to download Outlook Mac 2011 alone from any site including Microsoft's.
    It is common for unscrupulous sites to offer desirable but pirated software for a modest price, but serve it up with a dose malware. They get you money, possible a credit card number, your e-mail, your IP address, and all you get is pain.
    There was an "Outlook Express" for Mac that was freely distrubuted but I'll pretty sure that it never ran natively under OSX. The first OSX native version fo Office:Mac was Office X, and it introduced Entourage as the Mac mail client.
    IF Fast Hosts is your ISP, I'd certainly talk to them to figure out what you downloaded.
