Differences line-out audio-out ?

Are there differences between using a SmartDeck by Griffin connected to the line-out or to the audio-out ?

I suspect a documentation artifact here...
Apple originally supplied the dock std with iPod, but then subsequently removed it to make it an add-on accessory. Someone likely forgot to remove the mention in std iPod features, and also correctly did not include it in nano. The nano dock has an audio line out, just as all other docks before it since 3g.

Need to reset 5G sometimes to get audio out from iPod connector

When I connect the 5G (and my Nano also), to one of my 3 docks, I sometimes have to do a reset to get line out audio out of the iPod connector. Anyone else see this behavior?

Good. Sometimes I get no output on my iTrip and have to reset my iPod, I didn't notice it getting better with the latest update - though I have now downgraded to V1.0 due to a few bugs in V1.1.

Need to reset Nano sometimes to get audio out from iPod connector

When I connect the Nano (and 5G also), to one of my 3 docks, I sometimes have to do a reset to get line out audio out of the iPod connector. Anyone else see this behavior?

Yes, I have had identical behavior with mine twice when I hooked it up to my car charger with the audio out. Once reset it would work but then now I have more problems with mine. Still trying to figure out the glitches with this thing.

Line out audio distortion

My headphone jack works fine when connected to the tape adapter in the car or to the stereo or my computer speakers. But when I use the Line Out of my car charger (which uses the digital audio out of nano) same as my Dock at home, I get a hum. And it's like the default volume is way to high on the nano or way too much something, making it buzz and hum.
Any takers? I'm at a loss. Again, headphones fine and, fyi, the line out of the dock to computer speakers is fine, just not to my home stereo. And it's the same using totally different cables and devices in my car, same scenario though. help

it sounds like thats happening because its a powered
unit
So does this happen to everyone's "powered" dock and/or in-car charger with audio/line out? The only power to the dock is the Apple USB 2. There's so much static and crackling, it's just obnoxious sounding, but then it works fine using the headphone jack. Isn't it odd that it's in my car and at home with an Apple brand nano dock. Anybody found this themselves? Or a sollution?

Line out audio through dock connection

Does the nano have line out audio through the dock connector? The threads I've read here have conflicting information. The tech specs at http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html do not list this for the nano so I'm assuming NOT...and that my Sik Imp (http://www.sik.com/imp.php) won't work with the nano.
Anyone?

No line out audio via dock connector

I have a Sendstation pocketdock:
http://www.sendstation.com/us/products/pocketdock/lineout-usb.html
I use the line out with other iPods including 4G ipod and 2G Nano with no problems.
But when I use the same Pocketdock with the iPhone, audio does not go through the line out, audio keeps coming out of the iPhone.
Is there a way to force audio out the dock/line out?

Folks,
on Nov. 29, 2007 we have begun shipping a revised PocketDock Line Out USB, which is now iPhone-enabled. We have also revised the 1/8" stereo plugs on the included cables, so they are now thin enough to fit the iPhone’s recessed headphone jack.
Note that not all retailers might have the newest stock, so if you want to be on the safe side, either ask for which revision they sell (the iPhone-option is mentioned on the packaging) or order directly from http://www.sendstation.com.

Question about Audio line-in/optical in/Audio out/optical out

I have a late 2009 27" iMac (v3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). I note that on Apple's description of the rear ports, what I thought were simply headphone (Audio Out) and microphone (Audio In) jacks are described as:
1. Headphone/optical digital [S/PDIF] audio out:
"Line/Headphone output
"The headphone output is automatically selected for audio output if no external S/PDIF optical digital output device is detected. The headphone output supports a stereo data stream at bit depths of 16, 20, or 24 bits per sample and at sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz. The headphone output volume can be adjusted from 0.0 dB to -64 dB..."
"The headphone output is automatically selected for audio output if no external S/PDIF optical digital output device is detected. The headphone output supports a stereo data stream at bit depths of 16, 20, or 24 bits per sample and at sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz. The headphone output volume can be adjusted from 0.0 dB to -64 dB."
and
2. Audio line-in/optical in:
"Line input
"The analog line input operates independently from all other audio input ports and is always available. The line input supports recording at bit depths of 16, 20, or 24 bits per sample and at sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz. Audio recorded from the line input is presented as a stereo data stream. You can adjust the line input gain from -16 dB to +30 dB..."
"The digital audio input has the following electrical characteristics (nominal specifications), based on input of a 1 kHz sine wave at 0 dBFS input level, 24-bit sample depth, and 44.1 kHz sample rate (unless otherwise specified below):
FSI – input sample rates: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz
Bits per sample: 16, 20, or 24
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR): >130 dB
Total harmonic distortion + noise (THD+N): <-130 dB (0.0003%)
Sound output/digital audio output port"
While, as an Olde School audiophile guy (62, and I still have vinyl!), I generally understand the gist of all this, I'm not at all hip to what S/PDIF optical digital output and/or digital audio input can do for me. So my questions are:
1. Can somebody please wise me up to the usage(s) of these optical inputs and outputs on the iMac?
2. The Apple description says,under "Line/Headphone output":
"PCM: 16, 20, or 24 bits per sample at sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz
AC-3: 16 bits per sample at sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, or 192 kHz"
and under "Line input
"The analog line input operates independently from all other audio input ports and is always available. The line input supports recording at bit depths of 16, 20, or 24 bits per sample and at sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz. Audio recorded from the line input is presented as a stereo data stream. You can adjust the line input gain from -16 dB to +30 dB."
How -- where -- do I adjust these bit depth and sample rates?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the info. Turns out there's an even easier way to do it than using the "Audio Midi Setup": through the prefs in the latest (and probably some previous) version of VLC, which is currently Version 1.0.2 Goldeneye (Intel 64bit).
Now if we could only get full native resolution (or at least 1080p) HDMI input into the Mini-DPs of our 2560 x 1440-capable 27" iMacs and actually have it display something WAY better than 720p (half the resolution of which the 27" iMac is capable) to which Apple limited it, without having to buy a third-party $270.00 HDMI-to Mini-DPP converter and scaler. Call me crazy, but it seems kinda silly to have to pay another $300 to buy a device that will scale the 27" iMac's resolution back up to a measly 1080p, let alone its native 2560 x 1440. But, as the
As a side note, can anyone tell me -- perhaps the elusive and chimerical, but omniscient and omnipotent "communityhosts" of Apple.com -- why, in my original post in this thread, the phrase "1. Headphone/optical digital S/PDIF audio out" had the acronym "S/PDIF" stricken through, like it was a particularly egregious Anglo-Saxonism? Wikipedia defines the acronym thus: "S/PDIF is a data link layer protocol and a set of physical layer specifications for carrying digital audio signals between devices and components over either optical or electrical cable. The name stands for Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format."
If I have inadvertently broken another arcane, abstruse, and/or inscrutable canon of the rules (http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa) governing what may or not be asked or said on these avowedly "user-driven" discussions, allow me to beg for forgiveness beforehand, pleading ignorance, and ask that Apple's "community hosts" or administrators would expand upon and make very clear, in their "Apple Discussions Terms of Use," a comprehensive list of terms, subjects, lines of discussion, references to certain items, products, people, policies, etc. that are simply disallowed in the forum.
It is extremely depressing and frustrating to spend however long it takes -- and it takes ME a long time, as I have a 60-year-ingrained tendency towards verbosity -- to ask and post a question or message, only to have the message never even posted to the forum, but, without any sort of consultation with me so that I may learn from, and correct, my errors, uncaringly consigned to the illimitable void by hands to whom there is no appeal or orison.
It seems unfair.

Problems with line out audio in prefences

Audio: Line level Analog Out

I am trying to connect a Mac Mini (intel) to a regular Samsung HD LCD TV. DVI-to-HDMI works well for the video, but in order to get the audio, I am looking to get an analog, *line-level signal out* of the mini.
Any idea of how to achieve this?
TV audio input is RCA (red/white plugs). All the cables I have at the moment, seem to pull *headphone level* from the mac mini.
Help and pointers are much appreciated. Thanks // pascal

Your experience is a little unusual, and in fact if anything it should go the other way, since the output voltage for headphones is a little above the line-level typically used for pre-amped signals for which RCA inputs are commonly used, Thus if anything, the volume from the mini via the TV should be higher than normal TV channels.
All that being said, that assumes you have the volume control on the mini turned up of course! I typically leave mine at maximum (this is set in the Sounds preference pane, though I'm sure you know that!) and thus control the overall volume via the TV.
If your mini's volume is already a max, then test the output with a pair of headphones (or iPod earpieces etc) to check the output level is actually what it should be. If it's too low, there's a problem in the mini or with MacOS, if it's normal, then there's a problem with the audio cable or the TV. In the latter regard, I'm not familiar with the specific TV you have, but you might find you need to set the correct input for the video input you are using.

SBLive!5.1 Line in only playing audio out in the right speake

I have a PS2, and i connected a audio out into the line-in socket, but the sound will only play on my right speakers. Is there anyway to balance this out?

I used one of the audio in cables (red or white). I believe one is for left, and one is for right, but even when i try the other, the sound only comes out of the right speakers. I connected both red and white into a 2 socket into connector, yet it still only produces sound on the right speakers.

Audio out line problem

Are 6 year that there is this problem on all mac book pro i tried.
After stanby (closing monitor) external audio out line (headphone) never works!!! why?
I need to restart mac and after all works well...

Sounds like your coreaudio needs to be restarted. I don't know what's causing that, probably some software conflict. Is there some app that you have been using on all of those macs? For example, have you got some AV utility, MacKeeper or something else that runs at login on all those machines?
In the meantime, you should be able to get your audio back without doing a full restart. Just go into Activity monitor, search for 'coreaudio', select it in the pane and hit the Quit button in the taskbar. That'll restart the sound process.
Secondly, check your audio configuration here:
/Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup.app.
Make sure the window has the title Audio Devices, and click ‘Built in Output’ in the sidebar. Are any of the boxes under ‘Mute’ in the main panel checked? If so, uncheck them. Is the format set to 44100.0hz? If not, change it so that it is.

Audio out options question - HDMI + component?

I have looked thru the manual and forums, but have not seen the answer to my question.
If I hook an ATV to my TV with HDMI, and also use the Right and Left (red and white component) audio out cables to my stereo (which does not have TOS link digital audio capability), will I get sound delivered to BOTH units at the same time? Basically, I'd like sound to go to my TV and my stereo.
I see in the ATV manual that it is possible to use HDMI and digital audio out. DVI video and component audio out, but I need HDMI video/audio AND component audio out.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to use the HDMI cable from the ATV to the TV and then export the sound from the TV with with either RCA, toslink, or digital audio out cables to your stereo. That is what I do at home. I have a DVR cable box, DVD player, and PS3 Blue Ray player and a HD video camera all hooked up via HDMI to a HDMI hub to the TV and then I can switch the stereo from either the TV audio out (all of the above) or the airport express where I stream music to the Stereo. There is no doubt that the sound quality from the BR HDMI cable of the PS3 has a superior sound.
A tech at curcuit city told me there is a difference in sound between, a expensive Monster HDMI cable and the less expensive cables now available on line, but I have not tried a A/B comparison yet, but am planing to do so. $50-60$ vrs. a few dollars on line aftermarket.
Hope this helps.

Pulseaudio & tsched=0,random whitenoise since change to HDMI audio out

Hi all
I had a fully working mythtv box with pulseaudio. Some time ago, I remember I had to add tsched=0 to /etc/pulse/default.pa like in the following line
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
because I had random white noise when skipping sections in music/video. I used analog out of my Creative Labs SB Live! at the time. Now I have a Nvidia GT 520 with HDMI out, connected it and changed some settings in alsamixer, pavucontrol as well as mythtv in order to have audio out through hdmi to my TV and it worked.
But since then I have again those random white noise issues. I start watching a recording and when I skip for 30sek it might still play normal, but randomly and with very high probability like every third or second time I skip again there is no sound anymore, but a very strong noise blasting out of my TV speakers. It is nearly unbearable, so loud.
So basically it is the same thing I could earlier work around with the tsched=0 parameter, but after searching hours in google I could not find anything better/else than setting this parameter which I already have since very long time.
Does someone have an idea where to start searching for the culprit?
TIA

Ok, so I have had some time to devote to this. Since this was a a new install of Arch I decided to just reinstall again to wipe out anything that I might have added to cause further compication to the solution. I am sure I am missing something obvious as aplay shows the card:

A couple of things worth noting:
All four channels are Mmuted (MM) each time I boot within alsamixer. There are no sliders on the four channels. They are either muted or not.
I have the HDMI input in HDMI1 on the TV, but I can move it to another if needed.
Since I am really unsure what would be needed beyond the alsa-info output I will hold off throwing irrelivant system logs and output, Please let me know what information would be helpful and I will post it.
I would really like to get this solved, so anyone willing to give a shot at helping me solve it would be most appreciated.

How do I fade out audio in Premiere Elements 13?

HOW DO I FADE OUT AUDIO IN PREMIERE ELEMENTS 13?

ATR
Thanks for answering,
im moving slowely forward in speeding up making presentations by using the new discovered smart tricks or functions.
So you understand my level of expertise:
This step by step production methode im using now give's me controle without the (full) knowledge of all the (smart)functions in this program.and slowely learning the way arround.
starting a project: a mix of photo's and avi's, starting with manual time line filling with the selected files then the timesaving "Standard crosover on all selected".
second: placing a header with the titel at the front and a ending a the end. (cut al the wrong or bad pieces and extend some photo viewingtime if needed.)
And then adding subtitels/tekst and use some other crosovers to highlight the change of subject or stills to movie.
And at last: placing the background music on "soundtrack": after some fiddeling around ive choose to cut the musictrack between the avi's instead of let the music play all the time and adjust the volume down to zero when a avi is playing.
this have two advantages:
1) the songs can be streched by by cut and jumping to the end of the avi soundtrack. (no loss of music through fading out and still let it play so need less musicsongs.)
2) And the rightclick fade function with the standaard fadingtime => "fade out" and "fade in" is easly to use because of the end track avi and begin track music timeline. (And if needed lowering the fading slope/ extend the fading time by moving the "points" on the audio line)
But; its a lot of work and after the first run through the presentation(or watching on TV) and there is a adjustment needed (fadingtime, volume-changes) you have to adjust every bit of the soundtrack. (keeping the volume "feeling" the same is the difficult part.)
I will read about the Smart Mix function and test it on a other project. see of its fits my kind of using and expertise. (every automatic (smart) function needs understanding of its purpes and limitations and there are a lot of them in premiere
What is in your opinion the most effective way of adjusting volume of audio parts across the hole project so its merged in to one audio/soundlevel?
(and offcourse in the hole way of building the presentation.)

What kind of audio interface do I need for audio out from MainStage 3?

I have a Yamaha MO8 that I use for playing in the worship band at my church. In the past, I've just directly routed audio from the MO8 through a direct box and into the sound system.
I'm looking to switch my setup and use the Yamaha MO8 as a midi controller in MainStage 3. I have this part working — the problem is getting the audio from my MacBook Pro.
The audio output sounds fine through the MacBook Pro speakers or through headphones plugged into the audio out / headphone jack; however, if I plug the direct box into the MacBook Pro's audio out / headphone jack, the signal the sound system gets is very pretty weak and very distorted.
I'm assuming I need an audio interface between my MacBook Pro and the direct box / sound system. Since it's a 2010 MacBook Pro, I'm assuming my only output option is USB (unless the digital audio out can be used). If that's correct, would something like the Scarlet 2i2 work for me?
Thanks…

Yes, you'll need some sort of audio interface to get a good signal back to your mixer.
The Scarlet 2i2 would work for you but you may find a few limitations. I use a MOTU Audio Express and it has the advantage of being a mixer as well, so I can mix in a backup signal from the onboard audio outs of my controller (Kurzweil PC3x) in case MainStage goes down (it happens on rare occasion). Firewire is my preference so the MOTU checks that box. I also like that I can connect my MIDI cables to the MOTU and have one cable going into the computer.
If you need this sort of compact redundancy, I would shoot a little higher than the Scarlet. If you don't feel the need for a backup line and USB works for you, then the Scarlet unit would be an excellent value.
