Can't get XLR mic to pick up sound in GarageBand.

I've tried 2 different XLR microphones, connected to MacBook using an XLR to USB cable.
Help!!!

The mic is a Samson VR88 and this isn't where I got the XLR/usb cable but this is the same cable I purchased: http://www.morrisonbrothersmusic.com/xlr-to-usb-audio-interface-microphone-mic-l ink-cable/

  • Please help. How can i get my mic to work??

    + Hi all
    I have a creative inspire 5. 5700 hooked up to my X-FI extreme music via Digital I/O port.
    However im a bit pissed off because i cant get a microphone to work, it seems that the port i use my speakers for is the same port as the microphone..
    Any ideas how to get my mic to work without unplugging the digital I/O?
    Cheers

    /Re: Please help. How can i get my mic to work? The only solution that I can think of is to get the?X-Fi I/O Dri've. Unfortunately, Creative does not sell this anymore on their store. You can buy it online, though most places I find it at, it is refurbished.
    This is what it looks like: http://us.creative.com/products/prod...5&product=4659#
    The other alternati've is the X-Fi I/O Console. This, however is rather expensi've (I think it is anyways).

    Unfortunately those are the only ways I know of. The X-Fi Xtreme Music does not hook into normal front panel solutions.

  • I can t get my home cinema play the sound of my iTunes (via the apple TV)

    i can t get my  Amplifier (home cinema) play the sound and i am unable to know wether this is due to 1. the plug 2. the menu or 3...me ?!! can anyone help to get the sound working please !many thanks.
    Greg

    spot on !
    The Apple TV is connected to the TV via HDMI and to the amplifier via the optical cable.
    The VoD works just fine, the transmission of content (sound/images) to the TV as well.
    The only function I can't get working properly is playing the sound on the amplifier...
    The optical cable is plugged into the following port : VCR digital in and when I select the very same menu among the different sources, i ve got no sound going out of the speakers...
    I don'g get it ;o)
    thx

  • Can't get Samson Mic (C01U0) to work with Premiere 12 (Mac)

    Can't get my Samson C01U mic to work with Adobe Premiere Elements 12 (Mac). It keeps saying "Your current hardware audio selection does not have any input chanel" I've tried everything , please help

    bfrazier88
    As always, strictly an Elements Windows person here.
    In the Premiere Elements Windows world USB microphone are rarely if ever supported. What type of microphone is your
    Samson C01U? A Google search seems to say that it is the USB type.
    That may or may not be the case in the Mac experience.
    Also, in your Premiere Elements 12 Mac system, do you have Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware with its ASIO tab under which are Input and Output tab/settings or the counterpart of those settings in Mac?
    The forum moderator Steve Grisetti used Premiere Elements Mac so perhaps he can steer us in the right direction on finding the core of your Premiere Elements Mac audio issue.
    Is this a "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before"?
    More later.

  • Stand alone Isight mic isnt picking up sound.

    I recently was given an isight cam to use with my mini and I get video transmission but i dont get sound. I put my system sound setting preference to use the isight mic for sound input and also did the same with the ichat preferences and it doesnt seem to be working. Any thoughts on what it can be?

    I had the microphone option checked in ichat and in system preferences i did raise the volume of the input. It is still unresponsive. I found an old webcam i had laying around it doesnt transmit video since i believe i need a driver for it but it does work as a mic. So I have to use 2 webcams at the moment, my isight to send video and an old usb webcam to send sound. I also grabbed an old desktop microphone and plugged it into the back of the mini thinking I could use that instead of the webcam and it doesnt seem to pick up sound either. I tested the mic on a pc and it worked and yes I did make sure to change the input source to line in on both ichat preferences and system preferences. Any suggestions?

  • How can I get Twitter to make the "Tweet" sound

    Why doesn't Twitter want to "Tweet" on my iPhone4 iOS5 I have been through Settings > Sounds >Tweet and selected "Tweet" as the sound to be used as its rather sweet
    Under Settings > Notifications > Twitter sounds are turned ON.  But when I get a Twitter Notification the sound produced is the "Tri Tone"
    When I post a Tweet there is no sound.  Can anyone explain how to get Twitter to "Tweet" the birdy sound?

    Interestingly I never get any sound when I send tweets. Just wish I'd saved a few pennies and not bought tones apps when I thought I could use them for Twitter. I have managed to select a different notification sound for texts, so I'm ok I suppose as I have two different notification sounds rather than one shared by SMS and Twitter. I'm one of those people who likes things to work as they should and worry away at a problem until I find a solution. I'll see if Twitter can offer hope! Not going to hold my breath, though. I find it odd that Apple haven't asked Twitter to sort this out.

  • Can't get Google TV apps to play sound through amp rather than TV

    I can't get Google TV apps like Netflix or Pandora radio to play through our amp speakers.  When we select "amplifier speakers" in the menu, we get no sound.  We've checked the IR blaster and it is controlling the amp.
    We just set up our Sony Google TV and are running it through our Sony amp with HDMI cables.  We discovered that we need an IR cable box for our Time Warner Service, so we still need to do that.  But I think this problem is unrelated.

    check to make sure your not inputting digital audio into an analogue input or vice versa. that's what it sounds like to me....

  • HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC - Can't get internal mic to shut off or sync with webcam

    I'm not really sure what happened. I was trying out my headset with inline mic on my PC and it didn't work the only thing that worked was my internal mic. I did disable my internal mic at one point but turned it back on when I realized that didn't make it work either so I promptly turned my internal mic back on. However, now I am left with hearing myself type and the outside noises even hearing instantly the curses I use at my computer. I can turn the volume down and not hear anything, but when I try and record a video I can't hear myself at all; the mic isn't recordng me and the webcam video is laggy. (the listen back button is unchecked) but when I check the listen back button I can hear me type and I can hear myself on the recorded video.
    Basically, I just want my computer to work how it did before I tried to get my headset mic to work.

    Hello eerilyquiet,
    I would like for you to use Recovery Manger to restore your software and drivers.  Please let me know if these troubleshooting steps help resolve your issue.
    Good luck!

  • Can't get gray with HSB picker

    I like using HSV space to choose my colors. However, I recently noticed that in LiveType you can't really get gray with the color picker in HSB mode, even with zero saturation. After messing around it looks like a common problem with the generic Cocoa color picker.
    I've put a screen capture comparing the same HSV values in Photoshop here:
    http://www.mungosmash.com/ViewPhotograph.php?GUID=245
    I searched google and the apple discussions for information with no luck. There's no way I'm the first person to find this.
    Sean

    Apparently you ARE the first person to notice this so be sure to psot it where someone from Apple might actually find it.
    What else have done to try to fix it? If you set up your grays in RGB, do they not appear in your swatches? Or do your grays appear weird even in RGB? If so, I'd say you have other issues because mine do not, RGB works well.
    I haven't used HSB since my days on a production switcher. We used three pots in the SEG's matte section and the feedback was a vectorscope. I have never looked back since going to RGB space.

  • Can I get the Apple Color Picker in CS5 Windows?

    HI -
    I'm a lifetime Mac and long time PShop user transplanted into a Windows shop.  Of all the things that I miss on my new workplace platform, the Apple Color Picker is the one that I encounter most often.
    Is there a plug-in, an extension, is there some way, ANY WAY, that I could have the Apple CP to use on a Windows version of CS5??  It might seem like a trivial issue to Windows users but to a transplanted Mac user - it's a major one.
    TIA your input.
    JL

    You probably already know your choices, as provided by Photoshop on a Windows system, are only Adobe and Windows per the Edit - Preferences - General tab.
    It may be possible some 3rd party could have invented an Apple Color Wheel work-alike, but I have never run across one.  Try a Google search for:
    color wheel picker Photoshop windows
    Such a search turns up stuff like:
    http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/colortoolswin/Color_Pickers_and_Color_Tools_for_Windows.h tm
    and
    http://www.anastasiy.com/panels
    If you don't find one you like, you're probably best off just trying to get used to the Adobe color picker; it will afford you some system-independence for the future, should you switch back to Mac.

  • How can I get my mic working?

    My internal microphone isnt working and when i make a video the little bit of sound is off from the picture

    Can you go back to a prior System Restore point?
    Control Panel/System/System Protection (upper left)/select System Protection then System Restore.
    It might even list the deletion episode date.
    Or you can just manually re-install the Boot Camp driver for the mic from the BC folder on the drive you installed it on the first time.
    I haven't found where you can have Windows check for hardware like you can in XP to let Windows find the Mic hardware to let it install the drivers again.

  • I currently have one input but need to run two loops. I cannot get the two while loops to run so that they both pick up the same data, they are both picking up alternate samples. How can I get them to both pick up all of the values?

    The system I am trying to create calculates a number of values based on an input. I need to make the calculations and display the values for an entire production run and for each hour. The only way I know to do this is to create two while loops, one looking at all the values that are received and one looking only at the values for hour long periods.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks
    RossH

    Why do you think that you have to have two loops to accomplish this task? Why not use one loop and accumulate the same data into two data sets based on the two sets of criteria?
