Changing audio driver

When I hooked up a USB mic and clicked on the name of the mic in System Pref, it said: "Do you really want to change audio driver?" What does this mean? Do I have to change audi drivers for both input and output? Do have to change settings when I am done using the mic and go back to using USB 49e keyboard?

Hello,
Is the icon under all programs in the start screen a Beats Logo or the sound icon as well?
How I put mine on is went to start screen then all programs
Then right clicked on Beats Audio and choose pin to desktop.

Garageband Quits Every Time I Change Audio Input/Output

Hi. I own a Plantronics headset that came with MacSpeech Dictate when I bought that software a few years ago. It shows up on my Mac as a C-Media USB Audio device.
I'm trying to use it with Garageband. So, in Garageband, I've gone into Preferences and the Audio/MIDI section.
When I choose the C-Media USB Audo device as either "Audio Input" or "Audio Output" (I want to use the headset for both), Garageband asks if I want to "Change audio driver" and I then click yes. Then Garageband has a status bar saying "Initializing audio driver." Then, before it finishes initializing, Garageband quits. This happens every single time.
So, I'm not sure what to do. I don't even understand why Garageband is looking for a driver when my headset is a USB device that works with all programs -- it's not a MIDI keyboard.
Sometimes, after I restart Garagband after the quit, I see that it has changed the device. But this happens more frequently for the Audio Output Device. For instance, the C-Media device is now selected for Audio Output. But I keep selecting it for Audio Input as well and Garageband keeps quitting and when I restart it, the Audio Input device hasn't changed and still says Built-in Microphone.
I can't imagine I'm the only one who's had this problem. If anyone knows the solution, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. it got me halfway there. Now it will open for the audio side, but still crashes as soon as I switch to Midi.
There were no Midi configs in my library, but there's a folder full of them in the main Library. Most of the files in there I don't care about, but there are several that I don't want to lose. Should i trash the folder and then re-install the ones I want?

Dolby Home Theater V4 changed to Dolby Digital Plus after Realtek Audio Driver update Windows 8.1

Hi,I'm now using Ideapad Z510. After upgraded to Windows 8.1. I'd went to the Lenovo website searching for new driver update.
But, after i install the "Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.7023", the "Dolby Home Theater V4" is not running(audio sound not playing through).And, the "Dolby Digital Plus" is running instead of "Dolby Home Theater V4".
Then, when I try to reinstall the older version "Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.6954" from Lenovo website, the "Dolby Home Theater V4" is running again.
Truly, the "Dolby Digital Plus"'s sound is crisper and louder than "Dolby Home Theater V4". But the sound of "Dolby Home Theater V4" has more bass and more function (like Graphic Equalizer, more Intelligent Equalizer etc.).
Is this an update or what?
What should I choose?The newer driver (for Windows 8.1) or older driver (for Dolby Home Theater V4)? Thanks. (confused now) @@

Hi all
Could you try out DAA or DHTLightweight from my link and just install the Dolby software without overriding your Realtek Driver? I am not sure whether would it work, but worth a try. I have tried on Y460, W520 and G560 with great experience.
If the older Dolby software does not work with your existing Realtek driver, you could install the DAA or DHTLightweight with their driver to overwrite and see how it goes.
Thank You
Peter

G510 audio driver installation problem on Windows 8.1

I've just received my brand new Lenovo G510 and installed Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit onto it.
Most of the drivers from the attached CD installed without any problems (though I was quite surprised that no newer versions were available on the Support wrbpage) but I can't install audio driver.
Apparently this series is equipped in either Conexant or Realtek audio chips and the provided setup application is desigend to detect the correct chip and run the appropriate driver installation program.
The problem is that setup is not working for me. All I receive is the notification "This utility can not be used on this machine". Since there are no "orphan" audio devices in the Device Manager, I can't really tell which audio chipset is installed in my machine. I don't want to install both dirvers as it may just cause confilcts.
How can I say which audio chipset is installed and install the correct driver?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi mikolajek,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Under Device manager
You should look for your Audio
Normally it stays under Sound and gaming controller,
And if no driver is installed in shows as High Definition Audio
Right click on it and select Properties
Go to the Details TAB
change the Value to Hardware ID then check the details
ex. PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_051014E4&REV_01
Get the 4 digit after VEN and DEV
Ven is the Vendor and Devi is the Device
Go to PCI database and do a search for the VEN
Then search for the DEV and youll know that device

9.1.3 crashing whilst recording "error code 1" audio driver problem

I'm still smarting over a six hour location recording session that Logic ruined for me yesterday - came away with nothing because of this problem.
Was trying to record a full band - eighth channels simultaneously, using ART Tubefire audio interface into Logic 9.1.3 on my macbook pro.
It started out OK - no apparent problems when setting up, testing the mics, setting the levels, etc.
Then as soon as we started trying to record proper takes of the songs, Logic seized up, giving the reason as "error code 1" being returned by the audio driver. this would happen after about half a minute or so of recording apparently normally (sometimes a bit longer, sometimes a bit shorter). It would also give me another error message about the disk being too slow sometimes as well.
I tried adjusting various settings and preferences (sample rate, buffer size, internal or external clocking, etc. etc.) but nothing worked.
I restarted the computer and the audio interface. No change.
Then I tried recording fewer tracks simultaneously (although the computer really should be able to cope with a pretty simple 8-track set-up, as indeed it has done quite happily in the past) but that made no difference either.
Then I disconnected the firewire connection and tried to see if I could at least record some audio straight into the computer, connecting the headphone out of the Tubefire to the macbook's built-in mic jack. Same problem.
I don't know how to fix this.
Help please?
Thanks,
Mark

Everyone I know is having issues with Logic 9 and Snow Leopard. If you can, try using Logic 8 and OS 10.5.8 works well for me. 32 tracks for 2 hours. It absolutely will not work if I use a laptop with Snow Leopard.

NEW! 4.09 Soundstorm Audio driver package

Okay,
Guess that marriage is not the end of life so let me get again active in this forum
So here is Markoul's debut in 2004...
You did the Microsoft Windows Update to Audio driver for nf1/nf2 soundstorm driver version 4.09 and you ended up with a screwed Audio control panel?? (equalizer not working Environmental tab missing...etc)
Simply run the driver package here,
4.09 Soundstorm Audio driver package for nforce1/nforce2
it uses the newest control panel version 4.08 in order to make the 4.09 audio driver fully operational
enjoy,

Hi,

Where can I get my audio driver?

The model number is 610-1068cn,made in China,and the pre-installed system is win7 64-bit , I've changed it to 32-bit. Where can I find the audio driver ? The type of the sound card is IDT 92HD89D3 , anyone who knows ,please mail to me, thank you very much. [email protected] ( XP is also OK. )

You're very welcome.
It is very doubtful that you will get an IDT XP audio driver to work.
You also first need to install the MS UAA driver.

You can try these, and try manually installing then if they don't install automatically, but don't get your hopes up.

HP ENVY TS 15 Notebook PC: Problems installing audio driver (High Definition Audio device)

Hello all,
My product is the HP ENVY TS 15 Notebook PC.
Product number: E3B65PA#AR6
OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit
A few days ago, I upgraded my windows from windows 8 to windows 8.1 and found that no sound coming from the HDTV when connecting my HDMI cable however video is perfectly fine. I was completely baffled because the audio was working perfectly fine before upgrading to Windows 8.1. I have tried several solutions posted on other forums, such as installing other drivers, and uninstalling the IDT High Definition Audio Driver and then scanning for a hardware change. I have checked the HDMI cable and it is working fine with other laptop.
Device manager is showing 2 device :
High Definition audio device ( Showing yellow traingle)
IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
When I am opening the properties of High Definition audio device it is showing :
This device cannot start (code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.
If anyone knows how to fix the problem, please help me
thanks in advance
This question was solved.

Hi:
The IDT audio driver (notebook speakers) appears to be working fine.
The problem is probably with the Intel graphics driver which controls the HDMI audio.
My recommendation would be to install the latest Intel graphics driver from the link below and see if that fixes the problem.

Error code 1 was returned by the audio driver :( randomly!

hey all! ive been getting this messege "error code 1 was returned by the audio driver" almost every time i try and merge tracks, bounce track in place, bounce region in place, or mixdown stereo regions per tracks. NOT when i do a real song bounce though. i feel like im noticing my computer is taking a long time to copy audio files into logic projects...i dont know if they are related though. but this error code 1 thing has been hapening CONSTANTLY. the thing is...nothing has changed. i havnt installed or changed anything on my system. its happening on ALL of my old projects, and MOST of my new ones. ive tried disabling all third party AUs and it still happens. do i have bad ram? a bad drive? do i need to reinstall everything? thanks so much in advance!

Ok, I don't know if this solves your problem... but as for what was triggering the 'Error code 1' message on my computer... Here's the update.
After much troubleshooting, the cause of this error in my setup was the Highpoint RocketRaid 2314 eSata PCIe card.
The Highpoint RocketRaid driver is included in OS X 10.8 with no additional drivers / installers to run. However, it isn't compatible with the old driver when upgrading the kernel (ie. 10.6 - 10.8)
I was bouncing to an external drive connected through eSata to the RocketRaid PCIe card... error message. Time Machine backup connected through eSata... error message. The drives were being dismounted rudely, or losing connection momentarily and reconnecting, resulting in the error messages.
Here are the instructions from Highpoint tech support to manually uninstall the embedded driver, and then reinstall the old Snow Leopard driver for use in Mountain Lion (10.8)... which works as it's suppposed to.
1. Go the folder System > Library > Extensions >, look for the file HighPointRR.kext and delete that file.
2. Second, download the driver from the link below, then run the Un-install script to remove any previous installed driver.
http://www.hptmac.com/productfiles/bios_driver/hptrr-mac106-driver-v11...
Then re-install the driver, but do not reboot or restart the system.
3. Third, download the webGUI from the link below. And run the un-install script to remove any previous installed web GUI.
http://www.hptmac.com/productfiles/WebGUI-Mac-v168-091120.dmg
Then re-install the web GUI and reboot after installation is complete.
Once the system has booted up, open a browser and type URL to log into web GUI.

Porting Solaris 7 audio driver to Solaris 8.

I am trying to load solaris 7 audio driver on solaris 8. It is not working.
Also I have recompiled drivers codes on solaris 8 still not working. Something must have changed in the audio interface from solaris 8 to solaris 7. Can anyone help me to find these changes. Thanks

This could be a big headache....but if there is a need to upgrade your OS from 7 to 8
then you should be ready for a good backup plan....meaning, if something goes wrong at any
point in the process, you could easily revert back to your old system environment.
If I were the one to do this, I will do the following.
1) I will make use of mirroring. It will be good if you could do it for the entire filesystem
of your OS and your DB.
2) Once I have a mirror, I will simply detach the other mirror and do my upgrade.
Anything goes wrong, I will simply make use of the other mirror to have my old system back.
When you upgrade your OS from 7 to 8, I had seen lots of problem where it could not complete the
process. And the reason is the size of the Filesystem for Solaris 8 specially the root requires
a big size as to any previous version. i usually just install from scratch. But the problem is if
your filesystem for the OS and Applications like your DB are crossing each other then you may have
to rebuilt your Applications too. Unless you had partition them such that they are totally separated.
When you had succesfully installed your Solaris 8, then your next headache is to make sure
all your applicatiions including your DB will be running fine with the new OS. Usually they
would not as they may need to be patched. So that means you have to check the Oracle websites
as for what are the patches needed to make your Oracle runs properlly in the new OS.
Most important is your backup plan, which is your mirrored-disk of your running environment.
Also you have to make a Plan of everything. Doing this will really take a lot of time.
Good luck. I have done this before.....I'm pretty sure you could do it.
just remember , your back-up plan should always be available anytime.

Every time i launch garageband i get this message "Error code 28773 was returned by the Audio driver."

Please read this whole message carefully, especially the warnings, before doing anything.
1. The changes to your configuration suggested here should be considered provisional; they may not solve your problem, or they may remove functionality that you find useful. If a third-party system modification that you want to keep is causing the problem, seek help from its developer.
2. WARNING: Back up all data now if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state, even if it becomes unbootable. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP — DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING. If you’re dissatisfied with the results of the procedure suggested below, restore from your backup. I will not be responsible for the consequences, and I will not be able to help, if you ignore this warning.
3. You should either remove or update the following system modification(s), if an update is available from the developer:
Parallels
and definitely remove at least the following:
Boom
† MacKeeper
† VirusBarrier
4. Whatever you remove must be removed completely, and (unless otherwise specified in this message) the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job. I can't be more specific, because I don't install such things myself. Please do your own research.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
Again, please don't ask me to do this research for you. You can do it better than I can, because I haven't installed the product and I may not even know what it is.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.
5. I recommend that you never reinstall the modifications marked with a dagger (†) above, if any. If your problem is resolved after uninstalling all the above modifications and rebooting, but you still want to use some of those not marked with a dagger, you can experiment with putting them back, one at a time, testing carefully after each step. Keep in mind that system modifications may be incompatible with each other or with future OS X updates, so it may not be clear which one is at fault.
6. If you still have problems after making the suggested changes and rebooting, post again. Remember: if you don’t like the results of this procedure, you can undo it by restoring from the last backup you made before you started.
Remove the "MacKeeper" crapware as follows.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions, nor do I intend to repeat the test.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Applications from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. A dialog will pop up asking why you want to uninstall it. You don't have to provide that information. Enter anything you like in the text box, then click the Uninstall button. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. That's the only useful feature of "MacKeeper:" it deletes itself. Reboot.
Do not try to uninstall by dragging the MacKeeper icon in the Dock or the LaunchPad to the Trash.
Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this kind of material is useless, or worse than useless.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

Sound does not switch between speaker and headphone after audio driver update

I have a dv9843cl. I downloaded and installed the latest audio driver (Realtek High Definition Audio Driver, version 6.0.1.5548A). But the laptop is not able to switch back and forth between laptop audio and headphone audio. Whenever I plug in my headphone, the sound would play from the laptop instead of the headphone. I have to manually set the headphone to default in order for it to work. How do I fix it to make the laptop recognize the headphone for it to switch automatically? Thanks

Audio driver issues... please help!

Alright,
I just purchased a new Asus computer, it's really nice... however I have Realtek HD, which doesn't seem to have a stereo option, it only comes out of the right speaker. When I try to record, it's the same issue.
Do I need to purchase a new audio driver?
Unless anyone knows how I can change the buffer size with the default "Audition 3.0 Windows Sound" to a lower number, since I'm trying to record in multitrack mode with the metronome.
I have ASIO4ALL v2 as well, but it's the same issue because of no stereo mic option...
Someone please help... several week headache.

Hmm,
Even when I have the mono mix it's recording exactly in the center... how can I get it to pan the channel or have it record in both?
Also, is there any way I can lower the buffer rate for the default "Audition 3 Windows Sound" so I can use a metronome without it delaying it?
Thanks.

And what can I do to keep the monitor stay on the Sounds panel?
Please help, I have googled endless with no results.

Thank you Paul.
I'm downloading the driver as I write.
Hopefully HP will update their page and correct the link soon
