Capturing streaming audio on Macbook Air?

I want to capture streaming audio from a website on my MacBook Air. But is this possible when the MBA lacks an external microphone? How do I go about it? The sound quality needs to be decent. My compture is brand new and has OS X10.9.1 if that's relevant. Many thanks!

There are tons of such audio (and video) capture apps on the APP STORE, such as twisted wave, sound studio, Amadeus,etc etc
more professional and pricey APPS such as Adobe tools, screen flow, capture screen.
most of the cheap ones can be had for $5 or so.
Why do you need a Mic? audio can be captured internally. Your Air does have an onboard external mic on the left side, either 2 holes, or older Air one larger multi-hole mic input.
for web audio however you want to use an application.

How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

I can't stream from my Macbook Air to my lg tv although I used to be able to before I used a Mackeeper app.

I used to be able to stream from my Macbook Air to my LG tv but now I can't. Could it be due to the fact that I downloaded and used the Mackeeper app?

Hello,
but when I created a package and added OdiWaitForLogData, pb began. the step that has OdiWaitForLogData succeed. but my interface failed. the step "Load Data" failed.why?
There is no reason for that. WaitForXXX does not affect the data stored in the CDC infrastructure, but just detects it.
- What type of CDC are you using: simple or consistent set?
- Did your interface used journal data only?
- What error did you get precisely on the "Load Data" task?
Could you tell me how to schedule a package?For scheduling, I think you should have a look at "Generating a Scenario" in the user manual. under the generated scenario node, you'll see the schedule node and you can start scheduling from here.

How to Capture Streaming Audio

I'm looking for a technique or app for capturing streaming audio from my 3GS. Any ideas?

Check the app store as I know there are apps that will stream and capture audio. Basically, the app that is doing the streaming has to do the capturing as well. Otherwise, any recording app running in the foreground mutes the audio from any backgrounded app.

[SOLVED] No Audio on Macbook air 2013

Hey all,
Currently I have no sound (either through speakers or headphone jack) on my macbook air 2013.
Card: HDA intel audio controller
Chip: Cirrus logic CS4208
when I boot up alsamixer, it says everything is unmuted and everything is at 100% volume, everything looks like its working fine but still no sound.
Things that I have already done but no effect:
blacklisted snd_intel8x0m (as per ALSA page)
added options snd-hda-intel model=intel-mac-auto to both my sound.conf and modprobe.conf files.
I am running the most up to date version of everything, including kernel version 3.12.8 which is supposed to have out of the box support for the card.
Let me know if you need any other information!
Thanks!

I pretty sure its not that. I use ratpoison as a WM (I like a minimal arrangement for my laptop) which doesn't use pulseaudio. Even when I had Gnome with pulseaudio. I still had the same issue.
So I ran speaker-test -c 2 on my computer and this is the output:
>>> speaker-test -c 2
speaker-test 1.0.27.2
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory
Which file/directory do I not have?
I have also checked amixer and none of the channels are set to 'off

Managed to fix it myself! Many thanks to all who read!!

Loss of audio in macbook air

I keep losing audio on my macbook air and it does not come back until I have restarted. Is there a way to avoid having to restart?

Do not sleep your Air (close the monitor with headphones attached) with headphones attached, this is known to affect some Air under Mavericks.
I presume you are using headphones? * this occurrence is being looked into.
Much testing on my own and others as well show that in some instances this occurs in Mavericks.
If you choose you may contact Apple for an appt and diagnostics.
However as said, refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
peace

Streaming pics from Macbook Air onto iPad

Hi all
I recently delved into the world of the iPad. Now I've had a play around and got myself set up but I have one question.
On my Macbook Air (iPhoto) and on my NAS I have lots of photos. Ideally when I'm on my home network I'd like to be able to stream them onto my iPad without having to physically add them onto my iPad.
Is this possible? I was thinking this is how my iCloud account could help but apparently not.
Cheers, Sam.

OK, so now the video is no longer streaming (even from my iTunes library). I'm getting a msg on the my Sony HDTV that says "This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection. This content requires HDCP for playback". If my connection doesn't support HDCP (whatever that is), shouldn't I never have been able to stream video (instead of having the ability only 15 minutes ago)? I haven't changed any setup/configuration since having the ability to stream video.

Trouble Streaming shows from Macbook Air to AppleTV

Every time I try to stream a television show, movie, etc. to my AppleTV that was purchased from iTunes on my MacBook Air, the content is so choppy as to be unwatchable. Oddly, the blue bar at the bottom of the display on AppleTV indicates that the show is fully "spooled up." Still, the shows pause randomly and very frequently. The pauses sometime last as long as a minute or more.
This has only started recently and I have not made any significant changes to my Air or network. My home wireless network is comprised of a Time Machine and Airport Express.
Is this is problem with my Air, AppleTV, Time Machine, Airport Express, or a combination of the above? It seems like there should be a simple fix for this.
Any ideas?

If this only started recently, try restarting all your equipment, if the problem persists you may be encountering interference from another device, try changing the wifi channel that your network operates over.

I need to capture streaming audio and save to a wav file

I need to be able to capture an audio stream delivered via ethernet using UDP protocol and then save to a wav file.
I currently can capture the data stream but do not know how to format the data to save it to a file. Our format is 16KS/s, 16bit, PCM, no compression.

Did you do the thing about searching in the example database. Let us use that as base for discussion. Those who put in some effort will be rewarded. Also check out the AU file format http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au_file_format As it is big-endian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big-endian the numbers can be stored as is in Labview. Must players,matlab, etc can use the AU file format.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

How do you get 24/96 audio from macbook air?

How do you get 24/96 audio out from macbook air?

If your media source is limited to a DVD disk, then a DVD reader will somehow have to be employed to read that disk. Apple sells a Superdrive specifically designed for use with the MBA, but I've found that many others will work almost equally as well.
Some DVD disks already contain a digital file suitable for play, when directly copied off the disk. However, for more traditional DVD movies, it will require an application to perform what is called "ripping", to convert and copy the DVD's contents to a file that can be moved and played off the disk. I have used an application called "Handbrake" with reasonable success.
After ripping, you may need another application to convert it to a format specific to the media player you may choose to eventually use. e.g. to convert into a file that iTunes may import.

What extenstion will allow me to capture streaming audio/videos?

I am trying to capture a streaming video of a program broadcast by Fox News which is not protected. I understand that in the past versions of Firefox some of the extensions or free applications would allow the video to be captured (per CNET). What is the application or extension I need to capture streaming videos using the FLV format or any of the other popular formats?

Hi Pat,
What I want to do is download the on-line videos/live streaming video but the source of them doesn't make them available as download files.
As regards Flash Player Pro, apparently I was looking at something else entirely. Sorry for the misleading statement.

Stream audio from macbook pro to tv

I'm using a MacBook Pro 8.2 and want to stream video to à Sony Bravia TV. I've connected them with à cable from the Thunderbolt port to the HDMI port on the TV. I get the video images but no sound. Is there à way to do this or do I need à separate audio cable?

There is great risk of confusion since I am seeing the words in Swedish and it is sometimes difficult to tell what the translation should be, but here goes:
In the System Report there is only one topic with the word sound: "Sound (built-in)"
Under that topic it says "Intel HD Sound" and I can choose a nummer of options, but only one for "Speakers" and it says "Connection: internal"
There is also an option for "HDMI/DisplayPort" which says "Connection: screen" (or monitor)
