Cant reset my Audio Output after plugging in Audio Kontrol Interface

Whenever i plug in my audio kontrol interface to use a microphone Logic recognizes it and changes the input so that it picks it up, but it also makes sets the Output to the interface, like what garageband did, but i cant figure out how to change the output from my interface back to its original speakers output! PLEASE HELP

Unlike GarageBand, you can't set input and output devices separately. You can create a set up using both your interface and built-in audio at the same time by creating an aggregate device. Instructions on how to set this up are here:

If you want to switch outputs on the fly, try using SoundSource. It's free, very useful, and you can find it here:

No HDMI audio output after recent HP update.

Hi, I recently was prompted for an HP sound driver update. After installation, the update seemed to break the audio output from my computer to my television. Before the update, the sounds from the computer would come from the television speakers, but now it defaults back to the laptop speakers. Since the update, there is no longer an option for HDMI audio playback in the sound options of the control panel. Can someone help?
Here is a screenshot of my control panel. As you can see, there is no option for HDMI audio output, even though my HDMI cable is currently plugged in.

Hi,
Please select the right operating system (32 or 64 bit) for your machine, download and install it:

No Audio Output after Upgrading to windows 7; Soundblaster Card is installed

After upgrading to Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit), I found that my speakers (which are built into my HP w2207 monitor) are not recognized. In the notification area I have the speaker with a red x in it, and it says “No Audio Output Device is installed”.
I have a HP Pavilion D4890Y with the Sound Blaster Audigy X-FI 24-Bit Xtreme sound card. I tried looking in Device Manager, and found “Multimedia Audio Controller” under Other, which states no drivers could be found.
I tried following some of the advice online, and downloaded the latest Realtek High Definition Audio drivers, but and the download seems to run successfully, but I don’t notice any differences. When I reboot as prompted, I’ve still got the same error.
I then tried forcing the Audio Device to use a Realtek driver, but Windows protests (saying it’s not sure it’s compatable with my device, and I end up with “Realtek High Definition Audio” under “Sound, video and game controllers”, but it has a yellow exclamation point. If I click properties, the device status says “This device cannot start (Code 10).” If I try to update the driver I get the message that it cannot find the driver software.   If I uninstall the driver I’m back to the original problem (multimedia audio controller under original devices, with no known drivers).
I also tried downloading various files from the Creative site, but it’s not clear which one to use, and the 4 or 5 different ones I tried (including their recommended beta version for Windows 7), when each of them opens it says it can’t find any supported devices.
Suggestions? Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi,
"If the driver is a previous revision install it using the TROUBLESHOOT COMPATIBILITY tool that is part of the Windows 7 OS.
To use the tool, uninstall any drivers for the sound card you show listed in Control Panel/Programs/Uninstall Programs  list.  Delete the Device from Device Manager.
Download the revision of the driver from www.creative.com  website to a folder you've created and placed on your desktop.
After the driver is downloaded, navigate to the "setup.exe" of the driver and Right Click - select Troubleshoot Compatibility  ----
Let the compatibility tool select a possible solution then use its suggestion of TRY RECOMMENDED WINDOWS SETTINGS, if it does not find a solution it will submit only CUSTOMIZE SETTINGS and let you install it as you designate."
The preceding information comes from a Microsoft Windows 7 forum regarding an issue similar to yours.
the information you provided did verify that it is a sound blaster XiFi Extreme card as checked against the Vendor / Device list.

erico

No headphone audio output after Airplay

I'm facing problems after having streamed audio from a Safari website via Airplay to my Apple TV (set to Airplay audio output under system preferences). When I'm now connecting my headphones to my iMac, OS X automatically switches to Airplay output. Every intend to switch back manually under system preferences or the Audio/Midi control panel fails. Somebody know a terminal command to restore the default settings? "sudo coreaudiod" is not working, already tried that.
Thank you for any advice.

Hello again,
it helped temporally to switch off home sharing, but when turned on again, the problem re-appears.

Latest Update(s) breaks my HDMI audio output after a sleep

Have a Mac Mini HD, since the latest spate of updates the HDMI audio stops working after a sleep.
A reboot will allow the audio output to work again but this is exactly why I abandoned Windows! So please FIX this ASAP.
Anyone else seeing this?

Audio output problem - using M-Audio Fasttrack

I had been using Logic Express (7.2.3) without any issues until recently plugging in a mic through my M-Audio Fasttrack.
I don't remember the exact chain of events - but at some stage, the software instrument outputs were no longer audible played either through the M-Audio, with earphones attached to its output, or through the laptop.
Even after disconnecting the Fasttrack, resetting the audio driver to 'built-in-input' and rebooting Logic Express, I still can't get any audio output from the software instruments. They aren't muted and the volume is turned up. Audio output from other programmes is working fine.
Can anyone give me any tips on how I could resolve this/suggest what I might have done to screw the audio up and what I need to do to undo it?
Thanks,
Antony

this is actually really simple
i just had the same problem with my m-audio and called support
when you plug in the m-audio fast track mac automatically sets the input and output through the fast track. To fix this you need to create an aggregate device. heres how:
click the finder in your dock
then click applications
in applications a utilities folder should appear...click that
in applications click Audio MIDI Setup
at the very top of the computer screen where it usually says what program is open it will say Audio MIDI Setup ..next to that click Audio
then click open aggregate device editor
you need to click the + to add a device
in the aggregate device screen it should say aggregate device.
below that check the option built in output
then check the option fast track (or device your using) the one that says 2 under the IN category and 0 under the OUT category.
click done
now open logic express (reopen if already open)
then click preferences
audio
under device tab the device option needs to say aggregate device.
click apply changes
and your done!
hope it works!

No audio output from built in audio

I do a lot of music production/recording on my mac, and to do so I use a firewire audio interface as my audio input and output while recording. When the device is not plugged in my mac usually automatically switches to the built in speakers or headphone jack for audio output. Tonight when I was done recording, I unplugged the interface, opened up iTunes, and went to turn the volume up, but what I got was the little pop op graphic of the speaker, with a little crosse out circle (like a no smoking sign). Now under my system preferences, built in audio is no longer listed as an option for output. After rebooting the machine the problem persists. Any thoughts?

You might try resetting the PRAM:

If this does not work then I would run "Repair Permissions" from Disk Utilities.

Adjusting audio output based on an audio input!

Kay so I live in an older apartment where my AC bombards my eardrums every ten minutes. My stereo master slider on my mixer is my best friend for overcoming this inaudible catastrophe! Men, I need you to help me link my microphone to my audio output gain so one of my arms doesn't get very strong compared to the other. I've been working out my other arm on a daily basis, but it's coming to the degree where I can't walk in a straight line. To prevent the repetitive volume increases and decreases and keep me from walking in circles, is there some software I can use to auto-adjust the gain from my machine?

Ok,
Looked simple, but fun, so I did it. Where you go
#!/bin/bash
MAX=20.0
MULT=1.0
TIME=5
function volume(){
arecord -f S16_LE -r44100 -d $TIME 2>/dev/null|sox -t wav - -t raw /dev/null \
stats 2>&1 |awk '/RMS lev dB/ {print $NF}'
level=$(volume)
while true; do
new_level=$(volume)
diff=$(echo $new_level - $level|bc -l)
level=$new_level
adjust=$(echo "
v=$diff*$MULT;
if (v < $MAX && v > $MAX*-1){
if (v > 0) {
print v,\"%+\"
} else {
print -v,\"%-\"
} else {
print \"0%+\"
}"|bc -l)
echo $diff,$adjust
amixer set Master -i $adjust >/dev/null
done
Its use arecord and sox to calculate the noise and bc to do some math (because bash is dumb =[). Some parameters MAX is the maximum absolute adjustment that can be made, MULT is a multiplicative factor applicated to the difference of dB measured, and TIME is how much seconds to record in each pass.
TIME can be used to adjuste the reaction time, a small value (like 1) react nearly instantaneous but a bigger value like 6 give some margin for rapid pops in the noise and only adjust if the noise difference existed in much part of TIME window.
When I use pulseaudio MULT=1 works ok, but with alsa I need MULT=5.
About pulseaudio, I started using it this week, and I really think that using pulse audio you have a lot more clear/cool/functional solution, but I need to explore it...
I dont know much about sound theory, so I dont know if I choose the best 'volume' description, but you can look at sox man pages and look for something more adequate (look for stats and stat).
PS. I hate bash... zsh is so much better (but, python is better than all) I only used bash because, uhhh I dont know the reason... masochism?

No audio from components plugged into audio in jack

I'm trying to convert old cassette tapes to digital format to eventually burn to CD's. I've followed all instructions for hooking up an external tape deck to the audio in jack. I have the correct cable (same Belkin cable I use to have iTunes play through my stereo via Airport Express). I've changed the input under system preferences to audio in jack and can see the sound registering but I can't get any sound whether it's through the internal mic or the mini-speakers. I downloaded Audacity to assist and it is just recording static. Seems so simple but I need help...Thanks

Thanks for the response. I tried downloading some of those audio in playback programs but I am on OS 10.3.9 and they all seem to be geared towards 10.4 + so they did not work. I have determined that my audio in jack works and can record music with my set up and play it back with sound once recorded through Audacity. Now I am just trying to get the computer to play the music out loud from the cassette player so I can actually play the cassettes to determine where to start stop for recording. I can't get any audio output until it's been recorded. I need it during playback. Thanks.

Adobe Presenter can not use audio output after 10.8 upgrade

Hi,
I just upgraded from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to MTL (10.8). All went smooth apart from the fact the when I launch adobe presener (flash) over any browser in MacOS, it can not play the audio part. It used to with 10.6.8.
The problem persists after rebooting the Mac. Other Apps (iTunes) use the audio just fine. So, it's something specific to the path of code that Adobe flash is using (?). The funny part is that when I launch VMware Fusion and a Windows7 VM, I can use the audio for the same application. So, it's the MAC part that's broken. Any ideas? Maybe I'm missing an updated plugin or something?
regards,
Thanos

There's no change if I hold command-R to boot into recovery. The mac chimes on powerup but nothing else seems to happen.
The machine has an SSD drive in it so I can't even listen to hear if it is loading anything or acting differently when I try different keypresses.
As I had some spare RAM lying around, I've tried swapping that in but no change there either. I still suspect it's a software rather than hardware problem, but without any way to control the boot up, I'm not sure how I can fix it.
I do have remote time machine backups - is there any way of restoring these manually, perhaps by removing the drive from the mac and copying the backup data over using another system? (Unfortunately I don't have any other mac systems to experiment with this, though)

Losing USB audio output after a time

I have an external DAC connected to my iMac via USB (direct not via hub) and Toslink Optical.
In System Preferences > Sound > Output, the DAC shows up correctly, as also it does in Audio Midi Setup > Audio Devices > Output.
Also, the 'Built-in Output' (Optical) shows up correctly.
I can switch between USB or optical input on the DAC and they both work fine.
However, peridocally, the USB output from the iMac will simply stop working: aside no sound, the 'lock' light on the DAC goes off.
The USB settings remain in prefs/midi panes, and the USB DAC device remains shown correctly (and the format etc. can continue to be adjusted).
The optical output is not affected and continues to work normally, so switching the DAC to that gives me sound back.
Unplugging and replugging the USB connection 'restores' the USB sound.
Any ideas what's getting lost/corrupted here?
(I'm on 10.8.4 despite the signature)

No audio output after rendering video in Premiere Pro CS5.5

I have a pretty simple video with 2 audio tracks -- 1 from the GoPro video, the other is a song. Everything plays fine while editing -- but when I export the video, the audio disappears. Is this a bug or are my settings buggered up? See audio settings below:
And here are the video settings:

OK - I tried AME. I imported the PRPro proejct - managed all the settings, pressed "start" and let it sit. Nothing happened -- it stalled and never rendered a single frame. I know, different issue than before.
Back to the previous problem: I am posting my project window for you to check out. I re-rendered it, and same problem.

No audio output on record enabled audio track

Hi guys,
Not sure whether anyone else has encountered this issue with Logic X. When recording using an audio track once the record enable button is selected I am able to see input but the input doesnt go to any output so I am unable to monitor what I want to record. Once I record I am able to hear what I have recorded on playback. The issue has nothing to do with my audio interface as it does the same thing with the built in audio and output.
This problem doesnt exist when using audio instruments and it seem to have just started randomly.
Please help!
System spec
OSX 10.8.5
Procesor: 3.4 GHz intel Core i7
Memory 32 GB
Logic 10.03
Audio Interface: M-audio project Mix

I think this might help the discussion. I also have auto input monitoring selected. I can also hear the audio when I click the input monitoring button.

No Audio Out Of Headphone Or External Audio Output Jacks

We have a Rev. B Bondi iMac that I recently put in my wife's 4th grade classroom for her to use. When trying to hook up external speakers I discovered there is no audio output from the side audio output jack or the front two headphone jacks when listening to the CD player. (I also checked using headphones)
The internal speakers sound fine and normal. I do hear something very distorted and weak from the external audio output jacks but it is so distorted the only way I can tell it is coming from the CD player is by pausing its playing. I have been into OS X now for about 15 months and am starting to forget everything I knew of OS 8.6 which is in the Bondi.
I checked the sound portion of the Monitors and Sound Control panel and all seems set correctly. Is there some other setting that I have forgotten? Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Herb Mesler...
Other than exercising the jack-ports with a plug from a headphone, it may need some expensive repair. However I do have a trick for you to try first.
Here is my trick;
Computer must be off! Because there is some light voltage applied to the ports they can slightly arch, spoiling the trick. Arching is the root cause of electrical resistance thus not allowing for proper contact and sound will not pass through to the device.
Next take a plug "softly and full travel" through each port in the side and on the front. I repeat them about 5 times. (any proper spec/type of plug, like from a headphone can work. If it from something that is powered, like from speakers, do not use it)
Boot up the computer and test by avoiding the side ports, using only the front ports. Quite frankly I found the use of the side ports to be somewhat the cause of the problem. Mine has been taped off for about 6 years now and I never have had to repeat my trick to date.
Give it a try and post back if there is any questions. Also, I would like to hear your results.
...Ron
