Can't get sound from my midi channels

Hello. I've been using Logic 8 for a while. 2 days ago I updated to the newest version 8.0.1 and after I did it, I can't get sound from my midi channels. Before the update I could use my Ivory pianos perfectly, but after the update I can't. I've tried every setup I can imagine. I've been here sitting for hours trying to fix it but I can't .
Logic recognizes my keyboard, since I play...all the notes appear on the transport bar, but i can't get sound from any sampler (Ivory, EXS, EVP88, etc).
I've checked my outputs, etc...but nothing.
Please help me!!! I'm desperate!
Thanks

Do you hear the Audio tracks and only Software Instruments are not working od don't you get any output at all? I was just assuming that through the update your Apogee has been removed as your Audio device in Preferences->Audio->devices.

How can I get sound from tv or stereo when watching netflix on MacBook Air?

I have my macbook air hooked up to my tv and want to watch netflix but the only sound is from my macbook. How can I get sound from other sources ie tv or stereo?

Check with Netflix for their system requirements.

You have your mute button on. In Settings check to see if you have Lock Orientation checked or Mute checked on the right hand side. If you have Mute checked, all you need to do is click the mute button above the volume control buttons on the upper right hand side of your iPad. If you have Lock Orientation checked in settings, you double click your home button and the most recent apps will appear. Swipe your finger to the right until the Mute icon appears on the left side. Touch it and you will unmute system sounds.

Can get sound from only one channel

I am having trouble with my sound. I am able to get sound fron only one channel. Is this something I

Did you check System Preferences>Sound to make certain that the balance scroll section was in the middle?

Can't get sound from many websites.

I can't get sound on my PowerMac from MANY websites (such as Hallmark.com, YouTube, some blogs, etc.). Yet I'm able to get sound on those same sites on my iBook. The PowerMac has no sound problems on other websites or in iTune function, sound effects, output or input. Anyone out there experience a similar problem or have any ideas as to what the problem might be? Thanks.
PowerMac 8,1 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi, why wouldn't you suspect the earbuds, since if I'm reading this correctly, they don't work with different software, or any of your devices?
On the Mac Pro, Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

Can't Get Sound from Harmon Kardon Soundsticks External Speakers

My Soundsticks have worked fine on my eMac and iBook bow I can' get sound from them. The System Pref has only "Internal Speakers" as an output option. I've zapped the PRAM and fixed permissions with no luck.
What am I missing? They have worked before and all connections from speakers to the iBook headphone jack are fine. Earbuds work.
Any and all help is appreciated.

Do the speakers still work with the eMac?
Have you tried resetting the PMU?
Are you saying that earbuds work with the iBook, while the speakers do not? How can that be if the only output option is listed as internal speakers?

Can't get sound from Insignia BT headphones w/ BT-equipped dv3t

Both are brand-new, I charged the headphones and downloaded the updated drivers from www.broadcom.com (actually Vista seemed to do it automatically) and the device is paired but I can't get any sound out of it (it's turned on:-)).
Under the Playback tab in the Sound control panel there are three items:
Speakers: Bluetooth Hands-free Audio
Speakers and Headphones: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Independent Headphones: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
All say they are working, but when I test the sound of each one I only get sound from the notebook speakers using the second option. The only weird thing I can think of is that I had the USB adapter plugged in when I downloaded the drivers, so maybe it downloaded drivers designed to work through USB? (I can't get sound with the adapter plugged in, though, either).
Any suggestions welcome, I really want to get this to work and not have to send the headphones back to seller (which is what Insignia tech support told me to do).
P.S. I know I have BT turned on because I'm also connected to a wireless home network, they go together.

Hello again,
oops, I must have missed your last message... sorry for that!
I have to say, that I don t have my digital sound system that long, that I can answer this question for sure. However...
You re right, that it should be possible, although I wasn t able to find a way to do that... yet... Somewhere (don t know if it was this forum or another place) I ve read, that the SPDIF support for Windows Vista isn t that nice at this time... perhaps a new driver will solve this
Furthermore... I don t use the Media Center that much. So I don t even know if there is any option to set the output device (within the application Media Center). That would be important to realize "the best of both worlds". Explanation: If you want headphones support, you (always) have to leave the Speakers device as default. Other applications (such as Winamp,...) allow us to set the output device (in Winamp for example you can set it under the preferences Output -> Directsound device) to the SPDIF device, although we have selected "Speakers" as default in the control panel... nice, isn t it's For sure... if it would work...
That way you don t get a(n) AC3/DTS signal via SPDIF... so, if you use Windows Vista (I can't answer your question related to other operating systems, because of my newly purchased system -> I haven t used it on XP) the only way that I know ( til now) is to select the SPDIF device as default...

I can't get sound from my macbook pro to my hdtv.

I have tried using cables that go from headphone jack to the one on the tv, from the audio input to the headphone jack on my mac and another iwire digital optical cable that only fit in the digital audio out at the back of my tv. Nothing worked. I can only get sound out of the laptop. Please help, this is driving me crazy. I get picture just fine however.
I have a Panasonic Viera 42" tv.
Thanks.

Hi Brad,
You'll need to run a 3.5mm stereo mini jack (on the MBP end) to RCA (usually red and white) and connect the RCA cables to the inputs which correspond with the video input you're using, then select that set of inputs on the TV.

I can't get sound from firefox

Programmes load and play but I can't get sound while on any internet. Adobe flash player is up to date and I can get other programmes (like itunes, movie players etc) to play with sound no problem. I have checked the mixer volume is up when I visit a site.

I have already followed all the advice on the no sound on firefox page, any more ideas?

Can't get sound from USB input device

I've got an Alesis iMultiMix 8 USB mixer plugged into my shiny new MacBook Pro (running Leopard). The Mac properly recognizes the USB Audio Codec as a sound input device, and in fact shows a signal being received from the mixer. However, I don't actually hear any sound from the mixer, even with it selected as my input device, and my recording program still records only from the built-in microphone. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

Heh... it turns out that there was nothing wrong, at least technically. I got on the phone with Apple and asked if the native OS environment relays inputted audio through the speakers, and was told quite simply, "No." It looks like my PC schools Mac on that account.
As it happens, yes, the programs I was trying to use (Cubase, and I tried Garageband for gits and shiggles) DO have a monitor function to allow the ability, as well as ways to select your input. Cubase, the one I'd been experimenting with, simply has it coached in different (and extremely technical) terms and methods.
So, it looks like my difficulties arose from my lack of experience in a high-level audio program with a steep learning curve, coupled with what I perceive as a basic design shortcoming of Mac. (I think there should at least be an option in the OS environment somewhere.)
Ah well, live and learn. Thank you so much for your assistance.

Novice can't get sound from keyboard back to G5

Hi – absolute novice here. Sorry to interrupt, but I need some assistance (it’s driving me crazy..) I learned a little on an old PC with an old Logic installed. Liked it so much I decided to commit myself.
Recently bought a new G5 and Logic Pro 7. Managed to transfer my old Logic files,
But I don’t know much about the technical stuff..
I have an old keyboard (Roland XP-10) connected to the G5 via an Edirol UM-2 MIDI interface (via those 5 pin plugs). I assume it’s working ok because it shows up in the MIDI Devices pane of the Audio MIDI Setup Window..
I’m almost there; when I play back the old songs, I can hear the WAV files-they play back fine, and I know my MIDI files are also fine, I can hear them playback in sync and all…
However… I can’t hear them out of the computer, I can only hear them through headphones plugged into the keyboard.
(On my old PC I had to connect the keyboard to the soundcard with a stereo line-out from the keyboard to the soundcard (as well as MIDI cables). Is this also the case with the G5? I have tried taking a stereo line-out of the keyboard into the G5 but am unsure if any settings need to be changed to receive the signal back into the G5.)
Please help. I have lots of nice music that I couldn’t finish due to my old set-up being inadequate. This time round it’s my fault. Thanks in advance.

In order to hear them on the computer, you would have to set up an audio input object in the environment and point the input to the audio in of the computer. And, yes, you would need a hook up your keyboard's audio out to the computer's analog audio input (as opposed to the digital in).
However, this is rather kludgy because if you plan to do anything else, such as vocals, you are going to be unplugging and plugging stuff in, due to the fact that you will only have one audio input. I definitely suggest you get yourself an audio interface with multiple inputs. There are plenty available for a good price that will hook into the firewire slot (a PCIe interface for you may be overkill in this case). This will allow you to properly monitor your keyboard output while doing other things within Logic, such as recording other audio such as vocals.

I am trying to get sound from the MIDI output from an analogue synth (Prophet 08) as an External MIDI track in Logic Pro 8

I route the signal via an Edirol UA-25. I open a new project, new track and specify it as an External MIDI track. While the indicator light next to the Mute button blinks when I press a key, there is no sound.
Can you help me, please. I have read the manuals, to no avail...

David,
Learning is not a bad thing, I'm just saying what you thought MIDI did is in error, you're not the first.
Here's an article explaining what MIDI is and how it works, it probably seems less than you thought it capable of but the fact is, since it's standardization in 1983 it completely revolutionized electronic music. By the Way, the designers of the Prophet 8 (Dave Smith & Sequential Circuits) had a lot of input into the MIDI protocol, in fact, if you had to say one company/person came up with the basics of MIDI it was Sequential Circuits. They also came up with the first polyphonic, fully programmable analog synth. I had a very basic MIDI studio at the end of 1984.

Can't get sound from playback of video from curve 8500 series

I video taped my daughter singing. I took it off my phone and placed it on my computer so I could post it online. I don't get any sound when I play it back on my computer using Windows Media Player. It keeps telling me the Network is too busy to playback in original quality, The picture is great but there's no sound. I'll try using Quick Time player but how do I get the sound back. Playback on my phone is perfect, sound and all.

PITT66,
Try doing a cleansweep and reinstall of the sound card. Follow these instructions to cleansweep. After you have finish reinstalling, try the EAX console again
