Satellite L-50 can't play audio from multiple sources

I can't play audio from multiple sources. This is very annoying when I have 2 youtube videos playing, if I start playing something on the media player, there is no sound on media player, it's the same when I have 2 media players open and 1 youtube video playing, youtube video doesn't have sound..
I already have all the latest drivers, last DTS driver update was in 2014, sound update this year's february..

I don't know if this makes sense, but I got newer DTS sound driver which I found, It's not my laptop model, but they all seem to be the same - v1.1.88.0
I uninstalled DTS software and still had the same problem, so it's not affecting sound driver in any way..

I see that the option called “give exclusive mode applications priority” has been checked.
Usually different applications and programs can access the sound card simultaneously.
For example: you can hear the sound in game, while you can run your own music via an external player.
This is prevented with these options “give exclusive mode applications priority”.
Maybe you should disable (uncheck) this option to prevent the different applications for using this exclusive mode stream.
I did it for my DAC. I set the DAC for exclusive mode. Once my audio playback software starts to play music, no other software is able to share the DAC.
However, I use Win 7 and Realtek sound driver… It’s another configuration.
So it’s not known to me if your issue is related Win 8.1 system or maybe limitation of sound driver… it could be also possible that one of your sound applications don’t allow multiple sound streaming.

Hi SwedelostinAmerica,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
The iPhone can maintain multiple pairing records, but it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. However, in your situation there may be a solution. You can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth for calls and use the 3.5mm jack on your iPhone and car radio to connect for music.
The following article explains Bluetooth pairing and usage. Please use it as a reference.

Should be able to go into your sound preferences and choose your output device, you can also try downloading Airfoil and try that, it's a pretty cool app.

Cannot play audio CDs in totem

I have totem-gstreamer and the gstreamer plugins for cdaudio, cdio and cdparanoia.
I am in the audio and optical group.
The permissions of my cd-rom are as follows: brw-r----- 1 root audio 22, 0 2007-08-06 22:35 /dev/hdc
The audio CD appears as an icon on my desktop when I insert it.
No other audio application is running.
I can play audio cds using the cdplay program cdkit provides.
But, when I start totem the option Play Disc 'Audio CD' is greyed out.
I've tried turning HAL off and restarting totem to no avail.
I've tried totem-xine and still it does not work.
The only thing that does give some food for thought is that when I kill gnome-vfs-daemon the option "Play Disc "Audio CD"" disappears...
Help!

Hello arbee,
It seems certain that the problem lies with your CD player. It is well-known that many older CD players will not read CD-R discs. If you look at this two-year old discussion you'll see what the issues are for someone who had a similar experience to yourself.
This discussion also suggests that you might get better results from using a higher-grade burning programme, such as Toast -- but nothing's certain.
Best wishes,
Martin

Ios 8 iphone can not play audio message in imessage

Seems I can send sound clips from my iPhone 5, but when someone sends me one I get a box with a ? in it and can not play it even though it says I have received an audio message. If I am at the lock screen I can hit play but then it appears to freeze.
Any ideas? Below is what I see in my messages.. they should be audio messages.

Just downloaded it about an hour ago and the same thing happened to me. I guess I should just wait it out then?

Can't Play DVD (with VLC, Totem, Xine, MPlayer), But Works in Windows

I have a DVD that I can't play for the life of me in Arch. I've tried VLC, Totem, Xine, and MPlayer. And I do have libdvdcss installed. Other DVDs work fine.
With VLC the DVD menu comes up, but when I hit play I get choppy sound and no picture. And I get these errors:
[0x7f91f4000c18] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called
[0x7f91f4000c18] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called

With Totem I get the DVD menu and when I hit play it just freezes.
With Gxine I just get a popup window that says "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" (but again I do have libdvdcss, libdvdread, and libdvdnav installed). In the terminal Gxine reports it's using libdvdcss to get the encryption keys and it appears to all go fine, but then I get the "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" popup window.
Mplayer plays the the DVD but the image is scrambled and the sound is a little choppy.
On the other hand, in Windows, on the same computer, the DVD plays fine with an older version of VLC (0.8.6d) and with Media Player Classic with the K-Lite Codec Pack.
I'm especially baffled that VLC does it in Windows, but not in Arch (nor in Debian).
Any thoughts? Thanks.

That's interesting. I didn't realize it was all css. But how does that explain in this case the DVD did work with free players in Windows. As I said, both with Media Player Classic with the K-Lite codec pack and with an older version of VLC (0.8.6d)? Thanks.
That is very possible. All those players use (or can use) direct show. As soon as you have the needed filter installed by SOME software all those players will be able to make use of it. And i think Vista even had dvd filters pre-installed.
Btw. One of the more common protections on dvds is called arcos and is developed by Sony. Google for it

Can't play audio cd

Hi,
This is probably a very basic thing, but I'm having problems playing an audio cd. I know that for audio cd's you do not mount them like you would a regular cd-rom, but I just can't get XMMS to play audio cds.
I have the directories in the XMMS Cd module set to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 and /mnt/cd; I've also tried using /dev/hda with no success. Cdtool reports that theres "no disc" in there, even when there is.
The drive reads cd-roms, dvds all fine.. but I don't know whats going on with audio cds. Any suggestions?

Click on open file.
Go to /mnt/cd. You should get a listing of the tracks.
Click on "Add all files in directory"
Click on "Close"
Click on Play. The tracks should be in the playlist.

Logic freezes and I can save but can't play audio?

Logic has recently been freezing, it's fine in the sense that I can save but then I cant play audio and I have to force quit? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ian

HT4072 Can I play audio from movies in the DVD player using iTunes or Airplay?

I would like to play audio from movies in the MacBook DVD player using iTunes or Airplay? Is this possible?

Is it important that the music come from a video, or are you just looking to listen to music in the background, while doing something else. If the later, you can certainly play music from the Music App, Pandora, or iHeart Radio, etc., and with the music playing, tap your home button to go to your home page and open anything else you want and the music will continue.
I don't have any videos to try out right now, but you try the same thing out and if the music continues, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

Adobe AIR for iphone app: can't play audio properly

I just developed an App by using adobe air. It contains some animations with background music in mp3 format. The problem is that the music is very jerky when the animation is playing... FYI, this is the way how I play audio in flash:new Sound(new URLRequest("m3.mp3")).play() Have I done anything wrong?
BTW, the funny thing is that if you hit the HOME button, and then come back to the app again, everything plays beautifully...
Any comments would be appreciated!!! Will be waiting for the answer online.

Try the loading sound internally method through sound channels and such.
Great tutorial below.
http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3sound/
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
mySound.load(new URLRequest("myFavSong.mp3"));
myChannel = mySound.play();
I just finished an app that uses a lot of audio while stuff is animated on the timeline and the sound responds well on all iOS devices. (havent tested on 3GS yet)

Can't play audio cd in Gnome -- User in audio/optical group

I'm trying to play an audio cd using gnomes cd player. I'm using udev and have already set user to audio and optical group. When I set CD Player Device to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 I get an Error setting device. The following is displayed:
You do not seem to have permission to access /dev/cdroms/cdrom0.
This means that the CD player will not be able to run.
I checked the symlink for cdrom0 and it points to /dev/hdc which belongs to disk group. Should I add user to this group? Or did I forget to do something else besides adding user to audio and optical group?

http://archlinux.org/news.php#106
please read the information in this posting after the gpasswd -a commands. you need to add your hdX to your permissions file for udev.
for example:
# optical devices
sr*:root:optical:660
scd*:root:optical:660
pcd*:root:optical:0660
cdrom*:root:optical:0660
dvd:root:optical:0660
rdvd:root:optical:0660
cdroms/*:root:optical:0660
hdc:root:optical:0660
hdd:root:optical:0660
(that is an exerpt from /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions the entries in red are what i had to add to get proper user permissions on my cd/dvdrom and dvd-rw drives.

Can't play audio files from pre-Intel Mac

I have some audio files from my old PowerPc Mac (around 1998) which I'd dearly like to be able to hear again on my 2011 Intel G5 Mac (10.7.4).
The files were created by me on the old Mac using the basic sound recording software that came with all Macs. The files are just people speaking.
I have attached an image of the icon that is associated witho these files now. For some of these files, the properties show the file type as "QuickTime Player.app Document".I tried opening the files using Quicktime Player app, to no avail.
Other files are shown as being a "Unix Executable file" type.
I also have other files from the old Mac with this same icon. With those that I know were text files of some kind, I have just simply added .txt at the end of the filename and hey presto, the file is viewable again. I haven't been so lucky with the others.
I imagine also that its not so simple with these audio files but I wouldn't know what file extension to use as I haven't worked with audio files before.
Also, is there a way to keep these files in some generic format, to avoid this problem happening again in the future, as technology advances?
If you can help with this problem, please reply.

.... on my 2011 Intel G5 Mac (10.7.4)
There is no such thing as an Intel G5 Mac.
