Digital Audio and Software 6.0

So I updated to 6.0 the other night and now my digital audio is not working. I have video going through HDMI to TV and Toslink going to Receiver. The audio goes through HDMI to TV no problem. The Toslink is not transmitting audio. I made sure that Dolby is turned on. Any thoughts? The receiver recognizes the digital audio but even cranking it it does not work. I had this Toslink hooked up to an XBOX 360 before and it worked just fine.

Could these drivers be posted as a torrent to relieve the server congestion? I can't download the files.

Recording audio and software tracks simultaneously ?

recording audio and software tracks simultaneously ?
I am recording a software piano instrument track and a vocal audio track in logic Pro X. Problem#1
When the replace"X" button is selected,
when recording audio and a software track simultaneously,
I can hear the previously recorded instrument track that I am recording over.
(very distracting)
When recording a software instrument track alone (without simultaneously recording an audio track)
The software/midi instrument track will record over and erase existing data and I will not hear the previously recorded track. (as it is suppose to do) Problem #2
Both tracks are armed ready to record.
If the software instrument track is not highlighted, it will not record.
The audio track will record regardless of whether it is highlighted or not. Craig C.

I'm using MAM-A blank CD-R for digital audio and I would like to know which speed do I set to so I can get the best sound?Thanks Joe

When making new digital audio cd's which burn speed is best used with MAM-A 74min/650mb digital audio CD-R's?Thanks Joe

In theory, the slowest speed should result in the most accurate duplication (best sound). This will take much longer than if you were to use use faster speeds and whether that in practical terms is necessary is debatable. Remember, the quality of the disc will be no better than the source material.
Ciao.
PS: You may wish to experiment by making disks at different speeds and listen to them if can detect difference between them.

Powerbook (digital audio) and 1/8" jack NOT getting along

ok see if you can help me troubleshoot this.
i bought two of these cables:
<http://www.cablesforless.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2779>
"Our Custom Made 3.5mm Male to 2-Male 1/4 inch phono plugs audio cables are perfect for connecting your speakers and microphones. These cables feature Belden's 1800B digital XLR cable and Steren® precision machined connectors. To ensure maximum signal integrity and protection from RF and electromagnetic interference the cable also features a Beldfoil® shield and fully shielded connectors. Professional termination using high grade solder ensures optimal signal transmission. Designed for optimal sound quality, Belden's performance speaks for itself. Compare Belden's specifications (below) with those of other digital XLR cables and see for yourself how Belden cable is unmatched. Belden Brilliance® teamed with Steren Connectors brings audio to life!"
sounds good, right? they both exhibit the following symptoms.
i'm using it in the headphone jack of my powerbook g4 15" and going out to a little mixer so i can hear system audio, itunes, etc. through my system. this longer cable is replacing a monster cable of the same kind (but shorter).
i'm getting absolutely HORRIBLE buzz when i plug it into the headphone port. if i jiggle it a bit i can get it to behave but only if it sits just right.
on a crt imac and an older titanium powerbook G4 the issue is much better. i still hear a line hum. i wouldn't want to record like this, but it's not a nightmare.
on an ipod plugged into the power adapter it works beautifully. however, i CAN get it to buzz horribly if i jiggle the plug as i insert/remove it.
eyeballing it with the monster cable tip, it looks exactly the same.
so on one hand, the monster cable works great in all uses.
the cablesforless cable works terribly on the powerbook but nowhere else.
now here's a clue: the powerbook G4 has combination analog/digital input and analog/digital output jacks. i haven't been able to repeat it reliably, but the cablesforless cable seems to be able to trigger the digital interface part, as evidenced by a red light shooting out of the port.
unplugging the powerbook totally removes the buzz.
i get the buzz when this cable is in EITHER the input or output jack.
tried a different power supply in a different jack in the same room... same results both ports (slightly different tone to the buzz)
if i remove the little mixer and plug the 1/4" cable ends into two inputs on a practice amp, i get the same issue.
finally, i got another digital audio powerbook g4 15" and the connection seems to be slightly more reliable, but still problematic.

For starters, EPUB is a profile of XHTML, not HTML5. Further, audio and video support are part of the recently-approved EPUB3, which the release notes for ADE 1.8 explicitly say is not yet fully supported. Specifically, <epub:trigger> will allow you to use audio and video: http://idpf.org/epub/30/spec/epub30-contentdocs.html#sec-xhtml-epub-trigger
Do these EPUB files that you're not seeing in ADE pass validation? http://validator.idpf.org/
Basically, it sounds like you're trying to do things that ADE isn't supposed to support yet, and in a way it is unlikely to ever support (since ADE is known to be pretty conformant to the EPUB standards, it's very likely it will support the EPUB3 version of doing things rather than the hackery I've seen for Apple's reader).

Capturing digital audio and editing without rendering?

We have a collection of LDs and VCRs that need to be converted to DVD. For this purpose, I purchased a Canopus ADVC 300 which appears to be working great.
The perfectionist that I am, I'm using Optical Digital Audio to import audio from the LD Player directly into my Mac Pro.
(Interesting note here. While FCE is incapable of importing video from one source and audio from another, QuickTime Player X is very capable. FCE is officially behind the times. There is almost certainly an upgrade in the works.)
I can import the video from the Canopus directly into FCE. The digital audio has to be captured by something else; I'll probably use SoundTrack (the non-Pro version comes with FCE).
The digital tracks are 44.1 kHz 24 bit (integer), but FCE does not have an option for this offering only 48 kHz 32 bit floating point instead.
Q. What do I need to do to be able to use the audio in FCE without rendering?
Additionally, even if I import the movie made with QuickTime Player X, the sound will not play in FCE; the 44.1 kHz difference?
Q2. I plan on buying an AC3-RF Demodulator to decode the 5.1 AC3 audio from LDs which make this audio available. Does anyone know which program I'll need to capture all of the tracks for consequent use in FCE?
cheers,
Gregory

If you have QuickTime Pro, you should be able to open the audio files in QT Player, then export them at the sample rate which matches your FCE Sequence. FWIW, many of my students use CD audio (@44.1kHz) in their FCE projects with success, despite my urging to convert the sample rates so that everything matches. They are, however, working with just a few minutes of audio which is not synched to their video.

My Audio And Software Tracks are quiter when Record Enabled with Plugins on

When my tracks are armed to record the volume seems much quieter...Then after I record the take and playback its full volume;;; I think its a preference I accidently set??...Example..
If I have a piano software plug on, its quiter during recording then playback..But even during playback, if that track is highlighted on Arrange its quite,,,I have to un highlight the track...Even when recording audio if Im perhaps using channel strip settings??...Ideas>>>????? Anyone??/

Digital Audio G4 and Radeon 9800 Pro

Has anyone had the same fuss w/a Digital Audio and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition? Been through about 5 cards (lost count somewhat) and constantly getting a display of the video card (with its power connector flashing red) on a black screen. Only by opening the box and reconnecting the power connections, and sometimes reseating the card, do I get successful results, with the Mac booting properly.
No other card (others that I use do not require an additional power connector like the 9800 does) seems to have this problem; all boot properly.
There is a Sonnet 1.8 Ghz Dual CPU upgrade, 2 internal hard drives, a raid card, and FW 800 and FW 400/USB2 cards, but additional power connections for those have been unplugged. I'm good with letting any external devices run on their own power.
Thanks much, to anyone that may have a suggestion or a solution.

Hi-
With regards to the connector graphic, this invariably means that there isn't power connected.
State the obvious, but, have you tried pulling power from a different connector? Maybe try a new extension........ Molex connectors can work loose from the cap, and slide back when attaching to a device. This would give the appearance of being connected, though in reality, otherwise.
Have you tried without any of the PCI cards installed? I wouldn't want to remove the processor, either, though the dual does pull some power at boot. The DA PSU, however, should be able to handle both the processors and the 9800..... unless the PSU has a weak 12v/5v/3.3v rail....
Pulling the PCI cards will clear up whether or not the problem is with power in the PCI bus.

Can't get Encoded Digital Audio to work with HDMI again

I like to connect my 15" Retina Macbook to my Pioneer VSX-1121-K receiver using a high speed HDMI cable (high speed for 3D). My sound settings for a long time have been very reliable; in Audio Midi Setup I had the HDMI output set to 48 kHz + "Encoded Digital Audio" and had no major issues. My encoded Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 signals were being passed through to the Pioneer receiver just fine.
So then I got Mavericks recently and everything seemed fine for a couple of days; when suddenly, Audio Midi Setup decided it never wants to allow the "Encoded Digital Audio" format to work.
I select VSX-1121 under System Preferences/Sound, but only get the standard blah PCM over the HDMI. Here's the weird part I don't understand: when I go to Audio Midi Setup and change the format from "2ch-24bit Integer" to "Encoded Digital Audio", it automatically switches the sound to Built-In Output and doesn't budge when I tell it to use the HDMI output.
I tried changing the sound effects & alerts to the Pioneer and back to Built-In Output, but that didn't affect anything. I've tried restarting, disconnecting the HDMI and plugging it back in, turning the receiver off/on, turning HDMI Control off/on, tried a different HDMI cable and receiver input -- all no dice.
It won't let me select 96 kHz for the HDMI either. What up with that? I was fooling around with FLACs in 192 and 96 kHz about a month ago with no problems whatsoever, and playing 5.1 DVDs without any of this weirdness. If it's somehow Mavericks' fault I want a big fat patch on this.
Other details: receiver's connected to a Panasonic VT30 that I use as a second screen with the Macbook for movies and stuff. Also have a current model AppleTV connected. I assume they're both not affecting anything.
Any solutions or insights would be appreciated.

I had a similar problem. Took me a while to figure out, but the problem was in the HDMI settings in the receiver, NOT the software.
My setup:
Macbook Air > Mini Display Port to HDMI converter into Onkyo Receiver > HDMI Out of Onkyo into Panasonic TV.
Symptoms:
I was getting stereo fine, but not 5.1 (options grayed out etc). You were on the right track; I unplugged the TV which opened up all the multi channel options for HDMI. Turns out the HDMI out settings in the receiver were set to pass Audio to the TV. So the Audio Device Settings on my Mac viewed the TV as the destination device. But as the TV only supports stereo, that's all I could select through Audio Device Settings and VLC etc.
Solution:
On the receiver I went to Setup > Hardware Settings > HDMI and switched the audio off for HDMI Out. Now the Mac sees the receiver as the final destination and I can select HDMI (Encoded Output) etc. from VLC. That sends proper Dolby Digital 5.1 etc. nicely.
Note:
I can select all the multi channel options for HDMI in Audio Devices Settings (as supported by my Onkyo Receiver), but I just left mine at 2ch-24 bit. Seems as long as you select Encoded Output in VLC it will send 5.1 perfectly and no issues with regular stereo playback for music.

Mac OS 9.1 for PM G4 digital audio

I have a PowerMac G4 digital audio and want to install Mac OS 9.1 on it. That particular machine requires a version of 9.1 with ROM 6.7.1, different than the standard 9.1 installation disk.
Anyone have a lead as to where I could obtain the correct disk (or, download that particular ROM)?

Did you ever find a copy of this OS?
In a similar boat here, the only way I can get all of the software/drivers that I need to work is to run OS 9.1 - so I am trying to replace my 2x1Ghz G4 running 9.2.2 with a 733MHz G4 DA... bought one off of eBay because the guy said he would include the 9.1 disc (even though it was running 10.4), well, after I paid he wrote and said he couldnt find the disk. I called Apple and they said that I could get a replacement disc from them (for $12?) so I told the guy I would take it anyhow (and he said he found the disc) ... well, got the computer and the included disc was for an iMac, no big deal, called Apple - and this time the person says that they no longer carry that OS - and there's nothing he can do (this was like 5 days later so I can see how things would change). So now I have a whole lot of crap that I can't use - and really no where to turn ... I have been looking for this disc for months now.

Digital Audio not working on Satellite A505 S6012

My digital audio stopped working suddenly. I use HDMI to send the video out of my laptop to my projector. I had been successfully using, for over a year, a digital audio cable in the headphone (SP/DIF) jack to output the sound to my home receiver. The default audio set in the control panel is Realtek Digital Audio.
If I set the output to speakers and plug headphones in the jack, I get sound. If I set the output to Realtek Digital Audio and plug the digital audio cable in, I get no sound. I've tried new cables, changing the input to a different conection on my receiver, reinstalling the Realtek driver, and, as a last resort, completely recovering my laptop to the factory setting. Digital Audio still does not work.
Any suggestions? This is the main way we watch movies in my home.

hi, have you try out srs audio program it nice!
can u help me if u have make for yourself a recovery dvd of S505 S6012 because to mine i didnt do it and it gives me a lot of problems.
if you have please i would like to have it.
thanks....

Upgrade the G4 733Ghz Digital Audio

I have a G4 733Mhz Digital Audio and I wanna add what ever I can to it to increase the performance. I know these things won't increase the performance but just to let you know what I have added....I just bought an extra 3 port firewire pci card and a 5 port usb 2.0 pci card they work great I also have 1.25 GB of Ram (Max is 1.5GB)
what else can I do with it? as far as graphics card if I need it or not? and if so which one?
Thanks,
Raffi

Hi Paul-
Your G4 is a 4x AGP. You can only use a 4x AGP compatible graphics card. The 8x AGP will not work, unless, like the ATI Radeon 9800, it is 2x, 4x, 8x compatible.
The FX5200 is an 8x card, so, unfortunately, you won't be able to use it in the G4.
As far as upgrade suggestions, a new ATI Radeon 9800 Mac Pro, a used ATI Radeon 9000 Mac Pro (eBay), a flashed (PC ver. converted to Mac) Ati Radeon 9800 Pro(eBay, Strangedogs), or a flashed GeForce(eBay, Strangedogs).

About the digital audio input/output

So, those accept optical digital audio, and what kind of other digital audio signals?, what kind of adapter i need to use this feature?, so it is compatible with any 5.1 audio system like home theathers etc?

so it is compatible with any 5.1 audio system like home theathers etc?
As long as the stereo has a digital optical audio input, yes.
The port is a "mini-Toslink" port so you'll need a mini-Toslink to Toslink adapter and then a standard digital optical audio cable (Toslink cable). Sometimes you can find a cable with one of each plug at either end.

Sat P10 Digital Audio/Buttons Problem.

My new Toshiba (Sat P10-873) laptop has buttons on the front of it for playing digital audio and CD's. I use the mode button to switch between audio CD and the music CD, the problem being then when I switch to digital audio, it opens up media player and plays the default "David Byrne" track, rather than my playlist. According to the manual it should play the last opoened playlist but this for some reason does not work. Every time i close media player and then press the play button, it loads media player and begins playing David Byrne. Any suggestions on how I could fix this? Do i have to put my playlist in a certain location? or the audio itself? Do I need to set an option some where? Thanks.

Well, I had only had the PC about half an hour at the time i was trying to do this so obviously no updates and no changes made at this time to the system.
I have however solved the problem myself so just incase anybody else needs to know:
The answer really was rather simple, for some reason, media player was saving my playlists under the "My Documents" folder of "Owner" rather than in my "My Documents" folder. I copied the playlist file from there and into my "My Music" folder and voila, everytime I switch to digital mode, it loads my playlist. Hope that made sense. Thanks for the help.
