Can't get sound out of imac

I am a musician and am trying to mix down some tracks off of a hard disk. I have a hard disc recorder and a mixing board that i am running into an M-audio Firewire solo. I have the signal flow going into the firewire solo and then into my mac. when i click on the system preferences and go to sound I have the fire wire solo as the input and the headphone as the output. i see good signal coming into the mac but can't seem to get any sound out of the mac. the headphne out is hte only thing I see as an output which i have selected. please help - I cant hear anything!!

.. It can't be an m-audio issue when i have a great input signal could it?? ..
with my humble experience of 20 years with Macs - no, that is not neccessairly a (computer's) logic conclusion ..
as said, I just have some know-how with iM/camcorders... and we do experience some same 'effects', e.g. 'cause camcorder is import-disabled, as many Euroepan devices are ... or, we experience control over camera via firewire but no picture etc.pp.
different approach:
are you able to use your devcie with other apps, e.g. Logic, Grarageband.
it is an audio-interface, I assume, you're using in mainly for ... ehm, audio.

Can't get sound out of safari

hey all,
i am not able to get sound out of my mac?! And thats only on Safari. I cant watch any videos now! please help.
thanks in advance

Hi
I'm far from an expert on "sound" issues. I believe OS X's sound file is designed to be functional for 16 bit sound files, not 24 bit. 24 bit sound file offer enhanced sound quality, but are larger in size. Perhaps not yet practical for web sites.
explaining the difference between the two settings.
Thanks for the green star.

How can i get sound on BOTH imac and apple tv

The sound works fine on the apple tv Television but goes off on the iMac
Video works on both, so How do I get sound on Both when mirroring?

Can't get sound out of the computer

Song file should play thru the computer speakers, but it doesn't. I'm getting MIDI input into Logic, but something is missing farther downstream. It has worked in the past, but that was a year ago and I've forgotten how to do it. I can't use it at all until this problem is fixed. Too bad Logic is so complicated!

Fr.BlayZay, I'm not sure what screen you're referring to. The Preferences>Audio>Drivers>Core Audio screen is accessible either through LogicPro>Preferences>Audio... or through Audio>Audio Hardware and Drivers... In either case, here's what my screen shows: Enabled (checked), System Memory Requirement 66 MB, Driver TASCAM US-122 selected (not Built-In Input or Built-In Microphone), I/O Buffer Size 512, Recording Delay 0, Max Number of Audio Tracks 32, 64Busses (not checked), Universal Track Mode (checked), Larger Disk Buffer (checked), 24 Bit Recording (not checked), Software Monitoring (checked), Process Buffer Range Medium, Rewire behavior Playback Mode, Maximum Scrub Speed Normal, Scrub Response Normal. There's nothing about Default Output on the screen. Maybe you can give me a clue about how to access the screen I need. Thanks! (and unfortunately this part of Logic is NOT fun!)

I can not get sound out of the HDMI output on my mac mini. happened before after unpluging headphone and had to change some hrz number.

I have had this problem before. I just cant remember how I fixed it. I am not getting any sound from the HDMI output. Everything is selected properly and volumes are set correctly. Last time I had to change a megahrz thing and thats where I am stumped.

Getting Sound Out of Classic

I just got a new G5 and installed Classic. Now I can't get any audio from any Classic apps or from the OS itself. I noticed I don't even have a "sound" control panel in Classic mode. Is this strange? I seem to remember having one when I used this same setup with my G4. Do I need to download any drivers for my soundcard? What if I just want the sound out of the computer output? Any help is great!

I think we've identified the source of your problem... assuming that you mean that you can't get sound out of OS X.
I noticed I don't even have a "sound"
control panel in Classic mode. Is this strange?
No. You should have a few sound-related items in the Extensions folder (Sound Manager, SoundSprocket Filter, Speakable Items, Speech Manager, Speech Recognition, perhaps a few others) but there needn't be any sound-related control panels.

I had other sound stuff in my System Folder left over from the days when that System Folder was on a beige G3. The absence of those items doesn't seem to matter to my iMac G5. When I set up the iMac G5 I generated a completely new System Folder instead of just copying over the old one. What's in that folder now is what Apple thinks should be there to run Classic, plus the items MSIE drops into the System Folder because I did a test run of MSIE for Classic just to see if it still worked. (It does)

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.

Yes, connect your iPhone to your computer, click onthe name of your iPhone then click on the apps tab in iTunes.

Only getting sound out of one spea

Okay, so a while ago my speakers crapped out on me and I could only get sound when I used headphones, which was something I tolerated for some time. But now, just recently (after I got a high-speed internet connection, actually), I can only get sound out of the left headphone. Can anyone give me some assistance here? According to the device manager, I have a Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI 64V...so I'm not sure if I have a Sound Blaster AudioPCI or a Sound Blaster PCI64. Anyway, I tried installing the drivers for the latter, but it didn't help anything. What's the deal, anyone? Does it sound like a sound card issue, or is it perhaps my speakers?

EverclearFan,
Did this soundcard come preinstalled in your computer? If so you will need to contact your computer manufacturer for support as the card may be OEM. OEM components are often modified from their retail standards and require special drivers that only the Vendor will have access to.

I somehow installed a version of Firefox which won't work on my "old" iMac G5 (10.5.8) so I trashed the program and now I can't get it out of my trash bin... Any help appreciated because now I can't empty my trash at all! Thanks.

I Get No Sound Out of My iPad - How Can I Get Sound?

I can't get any sound out of my iPad.The lock sounds switch on the side of the iPad is set to provide sounds. The volume switch next to the lock sounds switch is set to full volume. I have a number of apps that are much better if sound is enabled. There is no sound for these apps. The Options in the apps are all set to "sound." I have re-booted my iPad. Still no sound. I have gone into Settings/Sounds. I don't see anything in there that involves the master sound system for the entire iPad - only sound setting for individual apps.
I have several manuals. I have combed through them - nothing. It's like how to turn the master sound on or off for the iPad is some kind of huge secret that no one wants me to find out about.
Let's fool 'em, hey? Tell me how to get sound out of my iPad. I will be forever grateful.

Never mind - I got it. It has to do with the Rotation Lock and Mute switches in Settings/General.
How did I figure it out? Google.

How can I get my dad's iMac to produce typewriter sounds? He's visually impaired and it really helps him.

How can I get my dad's iMac to produce typewriter sounds? He's visually impaired and it really helps him.

You may wish to contact Matias (www.matias.ca). They sell a "Tactile Pro" USB board that is built like the old and wonderful "Nimitz" ADB keyboard of the 1990's. Original Tactile boards produced that typewriter "clack." Don't know if this feature has been continued from looking at their web site. Therefore you should contact them directly.
Not cheap but probably the best KB on the market today.

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.

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 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...
