Do I have to change audio output manually?

I appologize if this question has been asked. I have done my best to find something simlar and have had no luck.
Down to business,
I have an aux jack in my car that I plug in to listen to music with my Rdio subscription. I also have a Jabra Cruiser2 as its against the law here to use the phone while driving. If I am listening to music though the headphone jack and answer a call on bluetooth, the sound stays on headphone even though I am using my bluetooth to answer. I have to manually switch to the cruiser and then when hanging up, the music continues to play through bluetooth and I have to manually switch the audio back to the headphone jack.
Is there a way to avoid manually switching between headphone and bluetooth? I had a Samsung Nexus S before this and never had any issues like this... it just worked automatically. This is my first Iphone and I love it but having to switch audio this way kind of defeats the purpose of handsfree bluetooth.
Thx

Because the Bluetooth is a visor mount and isn't intended for music but works great for calls.

Changing audio output device for currently running program

I'm not sure where to put this question, but all my searching hasn't seemed to find an answer...
If I have a program running, iTunes, VLC, a game, whatever, and want to change audio output from say Line Out to Headphones, I have to restart the program for the change to take effect. Is this by design/normal or am I missing something somewhere?

this is actually a quiet significant issue. There is no way in Flash to select the audio output device.
Today people have regular speakers and a separate headset. They all use the speakers for music and the headset for voice. Skype i.e. has the option to choose audio output device and its really handy, because
you dont have to bother to set the default device to the headset everytime you want to use it.
If you set the default device to the headset all other apps will send their audio output to the headset - which is not what you want either.
So people really want to leave the default device set to the speakers and not to the headset.

IDT High Definition Audio CODEC v. 6.10.6395.0 Upon installation I have very low audio output

IDT High Definition Audio CODEC v. 6.10.6395.0. 5/21/ 2012
Upon installation I have very low audio output! Screen Shot Screen Shot 2
I have tried:
un-installing and reinstalling the drivers.
Installed the original drivers via HP's website sp53222 for my particular model. HP Pavilion HPE h8-1070t
Any suggestions? would be greatly appreciated. It would appear IDT who I also emailed and they never responded is responsible for a codec pack that is not fully functional with this motherboard.

Did you access the Catalyst Control Center in programs and look at the latest updates for your graphics card and make sure you didn't download the audio drivers they self install and are checked automatically each time you attempt an update for the card.
Did you right click on the speaker in the system tray and go into recodring devices make sure everything is setup propper there sometimes they too can change.
I'm familiar with cakewalk but never used it on Win7 its been many years since I played around with that. If you are using the onboard audio card and it has worked before and not now if I were in your situtation I would attempt to reisntall the dirvers via device manager they do sometimes become corrupt especially if you picked up any malware that was removed by your antivirus software due to the drivers and malware both reside inwindows\system32.
After the reisntall of the drivers if the issue is not resolved I would upgrade the audio card with a PCIe x1 component such as:
Creative Labs SB1040 PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card
http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-SB1040-Express-Blaster/dp/B000W7PNZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357...
After I paid for a real soundcard with Recording: 24-bit/96kHz and Sound Output Mode - 7.1 and bypassed my onboard audiocard I never had any issues again. My onbaord worked too in the begining for certain things than stopped mysteryously and the reinstallation became ineffective after a while so I decided the money for the tower was invested mainly in the CPU i7 the RAM and HDD.
*** Note if you did install the audio drivers for the graphics card you will have to change the onboard audio in the BIOS from automattic to enabled. Otherwise you will have no sound at all. So never take the audio drivers for the graphics card unless you need them for DVR recording or something. The PCIe audio cards are never effected by this however only the onboard audio. Another reason onboard is a cheap way to go and HP bundles it as cheap as it can my friend.
Good Luck again!

Does Qosmio F60-00Y have an Optical Audio Output (toslink\spdif)?

Does the Toshiba Qosmio F60 Australian model have an optical audio output?

Hi
I found this Toshiba page about Qosmio F60-00Y:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums//thread.jspa?messageID=194743
Unfortunately, there is nothing about SPDIF and digital output.
I found some details about European F60 series and didnt find any info about SPDIF
For me it looks like the SPDIF is not available but this is just an assumption

Select audio output manually?

Hi
is there any solution to select the audio output manually?
My problem is, it works only without plugged in 3,5mm Analogue output. I can select the hdmi, or internl speaker
But right after I put the 3,5mm output to my MacMini, all the choices deselected, and only the line out is active.
I would keep the line out plugged in (through my PA), and keep the HDMI cable as well.
Then I would like to chose between the outputs manually
Regards
Peter

No.
You can not switch back and forth when something is plugged into the Audio Output (headphone) port, because there is a micro switch built into the port that only allows the software to output thru the Audio Output (headphone) port.

Can't change audio output in System Preferences

I have installed an M-Audio Firewire Solo interface on my Mac Mini and have made it my default audio output device in System Preferences. When I go to change the audio output back to "Headphones" (the built-in output on the computer), it will not allow me to do so. I click on Headphones, close the window, reopen the window, and the Firewire Solo output is still selected. I'm guessing there's an easy solution to this?

Welcome to the Mac and Apple Discussions.
Open the Preferences folder in the Library folder on the hard drive and look for the files com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist and com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist and perhaps any others. Move them to the desktop and restart or log out and in. The system will rebuild them when it starts up again. You might try removing them one at a time so you are able to identify which is the corrupt .plist file, if in fact it is a .plist problem.
If that doesn’t fix anything, look for similar files with .audio.xxxxxx.plist in your Users Preferences folder: Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences and try removing those. The .plist files usually can be removed without causing problems as they are automatically rebuilt. If it does cause a problem, you can move the originals back to their respective folders from the desktop, replacing the ones that were reconstructed after the restart and you’ll be back to the way it was before you removed them.
And then I’m out of ideas. But keep posting until you get it solved. There are a lot of very knowledgeable people on this forum. If you don’t get any response for a while, respond to your own post with the word “Bump” to get it to the top of the stack again.

Changing audio output

Is there an easier way to change my audio output device then opening system preferences and opening audio prefernces? Maybe a way to get a drop down menu on the menu bar next to the volume slider or something?

I would never say that this behavious ir illogical.
the illogical thing is that there is no option to change the behaviour, if for any reason there is a reason to do so.
One would argue that fixed and very badly located headphone jack is a problem, some would solve it by not taking headphones out at all, and using a menu option to switch to speakers EVEN if headphones are in, some others would say they need headphones for music while tping,
and that external speakers can be used immediately simultaneously with iMac projecting a HDTV movie on a monitor wife is watching.
separate audio outputs of course.
Is it so hard to envision as necessary?
I read a lot of posts about people having problems with damaged or unclean jacks for headphones. Having one always insterted would preventi it..

How to chang audio-output-device(s) in Windwos 8

Hi,
currently I’m working on an application that starts by changing the audio-output-device and ends with re-setting the old one.
On Windows XP I do this by changing the Registry-entry “Sound-Mapper” and it works quite well.
I hopefully assume it works on all Windows Systems from XP to Windows 7.
The background is that our program is supposed to play certain multi-channel sounds over an external USB-multichannel-soundcard and it should switch to that device on start. To actually play the sounds we use the AxWindowsMediaPlayer-Class
to integrate the Windows-Media-Player in our application.
However, on Windows 8, it is possible to set multiple Audio-Outputs and the Windows-Media-player has a setting to choose from them (under Options). I was unable to use the Registry-trick to switch the output-device and I could not find
a way to programmatically tell the AxWindowsMediaPlayer to choose the USB-soundcard as an output.
Is there a Way to programmatically(c#) ether change the audio-output-device(s) in Windos8 or to tell
AxWindowsMediaPlayer to use a certain device?
Thank you.

Hi Kristin,
I think your reply pushed me in the right direction.
The waveOutOpen-function is part of the
winmm.dll-API and I think, that API is the solution to my Problem.
Unfortunately I am stuck at this point. I tried mciSendString and mciSendComand. Both are cappable of playing sound, but I am unable to change the output Device.
This is my c# code to open a WAV-File via mciSendCommand:
MCI_OPEN_PARMS open = new MCI_OPEN_PARMS();
open.wDeviceID = 0;//this is somehow ignored
open.lpstrDeviceType = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi("waveaudio");
open.lpstrElementName = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(@"test.wav");
IntPtr ptr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(MCI_OPEN_PARMS)));
Marshal.StructureToPtr(open, ptr, false);
mciSendCommand(Convert.ToUInt32(textBox2.Text),
MCI_OPEN,
MCI_WAIT | MCI_OPEN_TYPE | MCI_OPEN_ELEMENT,
ptr);
Afterwards I use mciSendCommand to start the playing of the sound, which works fine, but no matter what I enter in the “open.wDeviceID”-Line, I always get sound over
the default output.
I use waveOutGetDevCaps to get the number and kind of the output-Devices and this works fine.

I have lost all audio output

I don't know what has happened, but I can't get any audio out from Soundtrack Pro anymore.
Even if I open previous projects, and try different audio outputs such as Built-in Out, Built in Line Out or my MOTU 828MK2, there's no audio, even though the meters show audio signal.
It worked a month ago, but even the projects I did one month ago are now silent.
In Final Cut Pro I have no problems getting the audio (thru my 828MK2) but when I switch to Soundtrack there's no sound.
I would have assumed they all use the same Audio/Midi setup?

go to settings, general, sounds, and check the volume. if the sound there is full blast, try going to settings, music, volume limit, and make sure that's turned off. now if that fails to work, try reseting the ipod by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen. if that doesn't work restore your ipod on itunes.

Changing audio output device

Hi,
I'm building an application that uses LCCS for video calls.
We've encountered an issue that we couldn't find any solution for and we believe is crucial.
Since the current version doesn't support AEC, all our users uses headphones to use the service.
The problem is, that to the best of my knowledge, if you plug-in USB headset, there is no way to make flash switch to using them instead of the regular audio output. If that is true,this means that assuming a user has USB headphones, even if we will add a note in the application saying "use headset to reduce echo" - that won't help as the user has no way of using his headset with our application.
Am i missing something? please tell me I am.
Thanks,
Itzik.

Changeing audio outputs

When i plug this usb mic into my computer it assigns it to no only the input but also output drivers so i can't hear what i want to sing over. how do i change the audio drivers. it was so easy to chage this in garage band. it seems like appogee and apple dropped the ball on this one. can somone help me?

Guitartist seems to have hit the nail on the head.
First of all, the DUET is NOT to blame (as I won one as well!!).
The DUET is a firewire in/out interface. It waas not built for USB in/out. NO firewire interface can do BOTH. Also, any USB based in/out cannot handle firewire in/out either.
NOW, you need BOTH universes on your system and you need to build that aggregate device. Look up that word "aggregate" here in this forum and I am sure that you will find the actua reference on how to do this and the URL for it as well.
Have you thought of NOT using an USB microphone and going over to a standard microphone that will work directly in you DUET. I just bought a Sennheisser (spelling) microphone for $80 at Musician's Friend. It is a unidirectional mic for recording BOTH voices and acoustical instruments. Also, it is built in Germany and weighs a bit more than many mics as it is made with steel. It also hs an on/off switch which is nice. I do have an USB mic that I got rid of because I did not want the "hassle" of what you will have to go through.
Take good care and "good luck" with your USB mic!

Changing audio output of media bin preview

I am trying to preview loops and listen to them in my headphones (Output 13-14 of my MOTU 828) and for some reason, the audio always plays out of my speakers (Outputs 1-2). Is there a way to change the audio assignment? I know I'm missing something very easy here....

Look for the prelisten channel (256 or 128) in the environment or in the Mixer with view set to "All" and assign outputs 13-14 to it.

Changing Audio Output Channels

I am taking a distance education class at my university where I watch recorded video broadcasts from another campus. The video files are recorded in real media (yea... i know...), and I think they are recorded in mono because audio is only outputted through the left channel. Having to listen to these classes with headphones is horrible and a headache with sound only in my left ear. Is there a way to manage the output audio and hear the same channel in both ears? Possibly an application to manage this?
Thanks a ton,
Dreier

I use Audio Hijack Pro's Monomizer effect to listen to one channel Real Player.

Track Mixer won't change audio outputs

I'm using pro 7 with motu HD 192 interface. I don't know if the problem is the motu software. I have re installed the motu software and the Logic software It doesn't matter if the output is on Out 1-2 or Out 3-4 it always comes out on 1-2.

Hey Kenneth, I have the same set-up (except I have a dual 1.42)
Get the 7.1 upgrade if you can, but other than that which "output" are you talking about? There are a few places that you need to set your output path.
