Cant select airplay device for output audio

Every now and then I can not select airplay device for output audio, its there as an option but I cant select it.
Restarting coputer helps, but very anoying.
Also found this soulution here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1412191
Killing coreaudio fixed it for me without a reboot:
sudo kill `ps -ax | grep 'coreaudiod' | grep 'sbin' |awk '{print $1}'`
This seems to be a common issue, so PLEASE solve it

We are only users here... file a report with Apple....

Cannot select Airplay Device for Output Audio

I can't select my chosen AirPlay device for Output Device. It shows up as one of the options in the Sound System Preference, the Sound Selector in the Menu Bar or the AirPlay selector in iTunes (version 11.0.1). But, when I select it, it automatically re-selects the built-in speakers. Rebooting is the only way to restore this functionality. Even then, it seems to work for a time, then quits working. This problem has been reported elsewhere with no resolution that I'm aware of. Any ideas?

Every get an answer to this?

Selecting Multiple AirPlay devices for output

Can I select multiple airplay devices to stream music to from my iPad? It seems that I'm limited to just one airplay item which is too limiting...
TIA,
David

The ipad only allows one airplay connection at a time, Itunes on a computer allows multiple.

Will not allow me to select airplay as sound output

Computer will not allow me to select airplay as my output source. Any suggestions ?

Eric Roots link to AirPlay Mirroring - Troubleshooting solved the airplay problem. I realized that I had turned my Firewall on around the same time that my OS was updated.
I am able to keep the Firewall on and allow access by "Itunes only" under one of the dialogue boxes for the Firewall. By allowing Itunes access to through the Firewall, I now have full airplay functionality.
Thanks Eric

HT204388 how to make mac mini selecting hdmi (amp) for default audio output

I currently have to go in system preferences sound option output and select hdmi (my sound system amp) at every single startup. how can i get my mac to use it as default. thanks

Long shot, but...
Next time you start up...
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.

Selecting Simulator playback for output via DV camera

Hi, I'm trying to use a different window for viewing my DVD project in Simulator. I cannot seem to access "Digital Cinema Desktop Preview" which is specified in the manual. It says "The two choices are Simulator Window, which is the default setting, and Digital Cinema Desktop Preview, which actually selects your system’s second monitor, whether it is an S-Video monitor, an Apple Cinema Display, or any other appropriate display. See “Simulating With an External Video and Audio Monitor” on page 547 for more information."
on that page it says this:
"There are two common approaches to connecting an external video monitor:
• Connecting a video monitor to your computer’s S-Video output (if present)
• Connecting a second monitor to your system (if supported)"
Given that I have neither, but instead wish to use my DV camera through the 3rd-party app "Echo Fire", is there a way to force the video output from simulator into a DV camera [I'm authoring for SD-DVD now]?
Any help or other 3rd party "desktop extender" ideas would be helpful. Echo Fire seems to be a great option, but DVD studio pro doesn't seem to recognize it. I could test it on the Kona2 card here, but it's a little too high end, nor is it hooked up to an SD monitor for accurate SD previewing.
Thanks,
+odd

No way for third party application to direct Simulator output to a DV camera, even if you have Echo fire. What Mac model are you using?

Best device for importing audio cassettes to iMac

I have quite a few old audio cassettes that I'd like to import to my iMac Desktop (OS X 10.6.8). I'm wondering if this device will do the trick?
OKEBA New Handheld Super Tape to PC USB Portable Cassette-to-MP3 Converter Capture Player Adapter with USB Cable Headphones and Software Cd -- MAC Compatible

Well, the answer that I really needed has been answered: Yes, you can transfer songs from a handheld cassette player to your iTunes library. I just did it, and the results were everything I had hoped for. (1) the quality was as good as I have gotten from desktop cassette players (2) The only piece of extra equiment needed is an iMic, which I already had.
The only reason that I had been having difficulties was that I was using the wrong settings. Everything was quickly clearly up when I talked to a technician at Griffin, the manufacture of the iMic.

Can't set sound device for output

Mac 10.4 Flash 8 Firefox, Camino and Safari:
The sound output from Flash 8 insists on going only to my USB
Headset - whether it's connected or not. There seems to be no way
to control this. From a web developer point of view (as well as a
user point of view), this seems to make Flash unusable for a number
of users. We're already receiving angry responses from clients who
can't experience their own web pages.
Seems it could be addressed without completely upsetting the
work flow at Adobe....

Have you tried the troubleshooting I have suggested? The other solution you may want to consider trying before installing Windows 8.1 is to refresh Windows 8. This cleans up the operating system without affecting files. Here is some information on how to do this: Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8)

How to select the browser for output

Hi all
I have two brosers mozilla and internet explorer
when i run the application defaulty it's taking the mozilla.
how to change it to internet explorer.
is there any settings are there in NWDS to select the specific browser.
thanks&regards
Viswa

Hi,
I feel this is due to the default browser setting which is set to mozilla firefox for your system. This can only be resolved by re-setting it to IE from Control panel-> Add remove prog->choose Set Program access and defaults. If you r on Windows XP, you have to choose Custom and then modify settings as per your need. This will be applicable or overall browser settings.
There is no setting related to browser in NWDS.
Thanks,

Give it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. It should reboot and be fine.

USB devices for audio output

for five or six years, I have been using an EDIROL device for outputting from the USB port to a standard stereo amplifier.
I like it - it's good - I would recommend it.
But I was just wondering what other USB audio output doo-dads might be out there? Surely something good has been invented since 2003.
Is there a wrap-up out there, possibly done by one of the Mac magazines or blogs or whatever?
thanks!

This is a great place to start.

Connecting 2 USB Devices for recording in GarageBand blue yeti and M-Audio Mobil pre. will they both work together one track each?

I Have set my Audio Midi Setup under Audio Devices to Aggregate Devices and selected M-Audio MobilPre USB and Blue Yeti Microphone.
I plugged my MobilPre into one USB port on my MacBook and the Blue Yeti Mic into the other USB on my MacBook. So I have two inputs
and I set each device for OUTPUT as the HeadPhones from the Blue Yeti Mic. I still cannot record the vocals on the blue yeti and the Guitar on the MobilPre
At the same time even though both show the rec button is active on both. What do I need to do to get these to both work recording at the same time?

I'm not sure what you mean by "mixed with audio in Alsamixer". Can you clarify?
With that said, my problem did mysteriously fix itself after some update (presumably to alsa). Unfortunately, I noticed it in passing one day while I was changing the volume of something in pavucontrol, so I don't remember the exact update that caused it to work. But yes, my current setup does work now: I can listen to audio through my DAC and use the Yeti for recording. However, I have found that use of the Yeti crashes Google Hangouts, although it works perfectly in every other program I've tried.
As documentation, here is my current working setup (it is very similar to the above): in PulseAudio, the DAC is set to be a Digital Stereo (IEC958) output. The Yeti (called an 'Integrated Rate Matching Hub' in pavucontrol) is set to be an Analog Stereo Input. In the input devices section, I have the Yeti's volume set to around 58% (-14.31 dB), which is past the base volume a fair ways but produces decent levels for recording. The DAC's volume is set to 100% (0dB gain, the DAC takes care of the level). In alsamixer, I have the mic level for the Yeti set to 40.
Edit: This is a long-time-later edit, but let me say that when you have multiple USB audio devices, what USB hub and in what order they are connected seems to matter a great deal. If you can't get your Blue Yeti to work, try moving it to a different set of USB ports (controlled by a different controller) on your motherboard. This magically fixes the issue for me.

I have a Airport Express I use primarily for AirPlay with my iPhone 4 (iOS6.1.3). Is there a way to set AirPlay as the default audio when connected to wifi?

At the moment, when I re-connect to wifi (come home), I must select AirPlay as the desired audio.
I know this is managble, but it would work a lot more easily if it was possible to select a default for AirPlay, or iPhone.

I would suggest that you perform a "soft" reset on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) that you just got from eBay. This type of reset will temporarily (5 minutes) disable both the base station and wireless security passwords so that you can access it with the AIrPort Utility to make the necessary changes.
