Expresscard firewire audio issue - works occasionally and 192k ONLY?

I'm trying to use an OWC expresscard/34 1394A+USB 2.0 expansion card to run my Desktop konnect 6 audio interface. My 17" MBP (2010) only has the one FW800 port and I wanted to expand two more firewire400 ports (from expresscard) for audio recording use and am running into this problem...audio will only sometimes work but only at the ultra-high rates like 176000hz or 192000hz - the lower resolution rates (like 44.1k and 48k) only scratch and pop.
has anyone successfully used an expresscard/34 with an external firewire audio interface (MOTU or t.c electronic)???
this is so weird...

Sorry to hear about your issue.
In your case, if you can live with using the headset when making calls for the time being, I am sure Nokia/Microsoft will release a patch for this issue soon as it's a pretty major fault.
I would see if you can contact Microsoft or Nokia support to get an idea of when to expect a fix - perhaps your Nokia store has contact details they can give you.
If you are not happy with that, and want a solution immediately, I would see if you can get a refund - you should have grounds as the phone isn't really fulfilling its function.
Good luck.

Usually the HDD is the frist place to look. Use the original install disk and start up the MBP with the C key down. Go through the installation process until you see on the display a menu bar on top.
Click on UTILITIES.
From the drop down menu select Disk Utility.
Open Disk Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
What are the results?

Digital distortion on external firewire audio Edirol FA-101 and 10.4.11

Hi
Not sure if this is the right forum but I have an Edirol FA-101 external firewire audio unit and it seems like prior to installing 10.4.11 update for Tiger the audio was perfect. Now however I get a constant level of what sounds like digital distortion even without any audio sources playing out of my FA-101.. I saw the forum/support notes regarding audio problem with 10.4.10.. just wondered if anyone has similar experiences..the audio device does not have it's own drivers but uses the mac built in firewire audio support.
Thanks

that's what outputs 3 and 4 are there for. You can't control one stereo output to do two different things at the same time... it says in the edirol manual that the headphone jack outputs the same as output 1 and 2 from the back.
Therefore if you want a separate stereo output pair to connect your speakers to, you must use outputs 3 and 4.
Edirol didn't make the unit for the pc - actually the hardware was designed for the mac (hence it's core audio compatibility out of the box).
Edirol's fa-101 and fa-66 (which I own) are mac product which just happen to work on the pc thanks to the driver they had to write after the fact to support windows xp. Plug the unit into a pc without the driver and nothing happens. plug it into a mac running osx and it's automagically configured for low latency, highest performance, midi and audio in and out.
Have fun owning the best interface you can get for the mac for the money!

LocalConnection issues- works great and then fails

I'm having trouble with LocalConnection. I'm using it to have a button in the main swf file control another sub swf file.
This is my AS2 in the main swf:
outgoing_lc = new LocalConnection();
about_btn.onRelease = function() {
outgoing_lc.send("lc_example", "methodToExecute", "../assets/flash/buenosaires_text.swf");
gotoAndStop(2);
hide_btn.onRelease = function() {
outgoing_lc.send("lc_example", "methodToExecute", "../assets/flash/empty.swf");
gotoAndStop(1);
Basically I'm telling the button in main to load a movie in the sub swf with about_btn and then go to frame 2 in the main swf, then when they hit the other button, it loads a different movie and goes back to frame 1 in the main swf file. The sub swf is basically empty with a holder movie in it and this AS2:
incoming_lc = new LocalConnection();
incoming_lc.connect("lc_example");
incoming_lc.methodToExecute = function(param){
holder.loadMovie(param);
The two movies buenosaires_text.swf and empty.swf have content but no actionscript. Also- it might be worth noting that I have 4 pages on the site that have this action taking place, but they are 4 separate html pages that house the swfs.
It worked great, and then became unstable as it was tested more and more, it would work and then the user would navigate back to it and try the buttons again and they wouldn't work. All is remedied when the browser is refreshed, but you can't put a disclaimer on a site to have the user refresh every time it stops working. (this site has been tested on 2 different servers and locally all with the same outcome)
Any help would be greatly appreciated... I've been killing myself over this and my inability to figure out what is wrong with my apparently possessed script.

I'm not sure what you mean, I'm embedding the swf files like this:
main swf:

Firewire Audio Issues

I recently had my Macbook pro replaced, however my Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 Firewire does not seem to work on the new one. The Mac pro recognises it's connected and the Power and LKD light come on, on the Saffire but the FW remains off and it does not appear in the Sound settings. I have checked it with my older Mac and the soundcard works fine with the older one. Does anyone else have the same issues?

Yes. I got it fixed. Its very simple and dumb.
Don't bother with that Sonnet 800 -> 400 Firewire adapter. Waste of money. Get a 800->400 Firewire cable from www.monoprice.com. They're cheap and good quality.
I uninstalled everything and then connected the device to my mac and THEN installed the Saffire Mix Control 2.2 pack located here
http://www.focusrite.com/downloads/saffire_pro_24/
And that was it. It's been working like a charm since. I alerted Focusrite Support to the issue.
It looks like that the software on the CD that ships with the Saffire Pro isn't compatible with newer MacOS updates.
When you get the product, don't even bother with the Install CD. Just use the .dmg file located at the link. Connect the device to your mac and then install the .dmg. Then, if there is other stuff, like plugins I think, you can install those afterwards. Make sure its running properly though.
Good luck.

Premiere CS6 and CC: any compatibility issues working back and forth between both versions?

Hello,
What are the compatibility issues with Premiere CS6 and CC versions? Can the user go back and forth? I run a computer lab at a college and we will be upgrading to CC but many students will still be using the older CS6 version of Premiere until we update all the computers.... Will students run into problems?
Thanks,
dmichael

My concern is going back and forth between the versions... I read somewhere there are compatibility issues with Premiere....Can the user working in CC go back to premiere CS6? and vice versa?
Thanks,
dmichael

I have the iPad 2 and for about two months now the home button only responds part time. It works occasionally and I have tried all of the tips on the discussion board.

My iPad 2 has a hoe button that is not responding constantly. It will either work right away or not respond for up to an hour. I have tried all of the suggestions posted on other questions and it's becoming ridiculous. I have a warranty but am afraid that if I get another iPad 2 the problem will continue on the new one.

Ccote15-
If your iPad is defective and is still under warranty, you can take it to an Apple Authorized Repair Center and get it fixed. If you are worried about a defective replacement, then a repair may be a better way to go. <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>
Personally, I would prefer getting a replacement. You read about many defects here in this forum, but they only represent a tiny percentage of all iPads sold.

On my imac27" with firewire audio card i have drop out and crackle when i push on airport.

Why???
audio cards:
Tc elctronic Impact twin
Motu Ultra lite
this audio cards working perfectly and update

Have you tried to update or uninstall/reinstall the SDCard reader drivers? I've read that the uninstall/reinstall step will sometimes work on some problem devices.
You have run the AppleSoftwareUpdate while in Windows and the Mac side right? Sorry, had to ask.
Have you done a search on the 'net or Microsoft for the error (code 10)?
You can try to reload the BootCamp drivers again manually and see if that will work, but it may mess with your sound again. (or get it to work the first time?)

My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested. How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
Peace,

Does 2 firewire audio and video interface can work together on FCP ?

hello,
My audio interface is a TC Electronic Konnekt 24D
my video interface is a Canopus ADVC 110
my hard drives are plugged in firewire too
and I use Final Cut Pro 5.0.4
So, the konnekt is recognized by FCP only when the Canopus is not plugged. And even then, the audio sometimes drop out and sometimes causes the app to crash, so that I have to trash the preferences
When I plug the Canopus, the Konnekt 24D is recognised by OS X but not FCP
I want to use the voice over tool with the konnekt 24D, so what should I do ?
Does 2 firewire audio and video interface can work together ?
If so, maybe I only have a driver problem from TC Electronic.
But if not, I have to change this interface. Let me know if only RME, MOTU, Presonus and Edirol work, as it is said on apple's webpage for hardware compatibility
thanks
eMac G4 1,25 Ghz Mac OS X (10.3.9)
eMac G4 1,25 Ghz 1 Go RAM DDR Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The 1082 does show up as a possible input when I open
the VO tool.
Ok. So an audio interface can be plugged to FCP without crashing the app. Because of the Konnekt driver problem, I wasn't shure of this.
I use my Aja box for export & external monitoring.
All my audio sources run back into the Tascam and I
use the analog mixer in the 1082 to monitor different
sources.
When I view external video, the audio follows it to
keep sync.
that's exactly what I want with other I/O interfaces. I'd like to monitor video with the canopus ADVC 110, and monitor audio with the Konnekt 24D (or another interface if this one is not compatible)
I also imput dailies with a deck or a camera (DV or HDV) but that's not the point here.
I want to imput audio with the Konnekt 24D because of its audio quality. Not audio sync to video dailies. But voice over, in sync with FCP video playback (for me, tha ADVC 110)

I have interface M Audio firewire 400 new Mac Pro has firewire 800 Do you think an adaptor will provide the same quality? Will the M audio 400 work with lion and new system? Thanks so much

I have interface M Audio 400 with 400 firewire new Mac Pro has firewire 800 Do you think an adaptor will provide the same quality? Will the M audio 400 work with lion and new system or do I need new software? Thanks so much

If you have a little Firewire adaptor, everything should work fine. It does on my system.

IChat AV doesn't work with M-Audio Firewire audio interface

I saw similar topics to this but none dealing with a Firewire audio interface and none with exactly the same problem.
Every other piece of software I use works with the M-Audio Firewire Solo, except for iChat AV. When it is the selected output device and I start a video chat with someone, I get just horrible, loud static when the person on the other end speaks.
Running 10.4.10 on a Macbook Pro (2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo).
Does anyone know of incompatibility issues with iChat and Firewire interfaces?

In Audio MIDI Setup (In applications/Utilities) the setting for my Mic is 44100khz 1Ch 16bit.
The Internal Audio connection also shows up at 44100Khz 2Ch 16bit
Are you looking in the same place or in the device itself ?
I would set it in the Audio MIDI Setup and then make sure it responds in System Preferences > Sound > Input tab.
Once the Blue bar moves to at least halfway there I would then check iChat > Preferences > Video Section to see if the green bar under the Vido pics is moving.

Stutter...issues with audio/video...and this is a common glitch?

Okay...sorry to start another thread, but I don't want what I'm coming to understand to get buried in another thread, as I'm getting at the gist of this now I think.
My experience of my 55 minute movie getting dogged down, out of sync, video freezing and such...(after reading the link Karl provided) seems to infer that this is a common problem and one that is frustrating quite a few Mac/iMovie owners. I read over the number of threads on "stutter" and should I buy a stand alone Intel Duo 2 Core computer with iMovie6 and Final Cut Express loaded... I'm likely to have the same problem regardless, because this seems to be an issue and bug...
It was something else reading members suggesting to "try this"..."try that"...export the film back to the digital camera but in small portions. Turn small sections into Quicktime...and then try to load them into iDVD as chapters. Good grief.
If I've got the money allocated to me to purchase this new Intel...plus an external hard drive...I'm wondering why not instead invest in Adobe Premier 2.0 and Adobe Encore DVD for our PC's in the PC lab? We already have Adobe Photoshop 7.0 on those anyway..and it must be a good program as Apple goes, as I understand Adobe is making a future come back with this software for Mac.
Any thoughts why THAT direction might not be the best way to go?
I can't see trying to teach my kids to play this jump around try this...try that game with iMovie if this "stutter" thing is as common as I was reading.
You know...life gets a little this versus that. Harley folks versus the Honda. Chevy versus the Ford....but, we have both a Mac and a PC lab. I'm an artist and teacher and only interested in what's going to work...so, I share that not because I am biased one way or the other. I'm looking for solutions and don't want the school board and administration breathing down my back...if you know what I mean... $$$$$$
thanks

I've heard it said a couple times (me...I wouldn't
know as I'm somewhat a newbie to this stuff), but
that iMovie is kinda a basic fun level not too
serious video editing software. Good for your 3-6
minute YouTube variety videos, but not more
professional. Then again, I read one member here
saying they produced a six hour video with 400 still
images. Didn't say what they had for sound though.
People say lots of things about iMovie, sometimes with little or no knowledge. Suggesting that iMovie can handle only 3-6 minute movies is an example.
iMovie can do lots of things, but iMovie isn't a professional application so there are things it can't do. You can't create a multi-layer video clip, for example, where one video image slides across another behind it. But you CAN create multiple (static) layers of video in QuickTime Pro — which every serious iMovie user should have, in my opinion — and import that clip to iMovie. So if you want a picture-in-picture effect, you can have it in iMovie.
The success of a movie made with iMovie depends more on creativity and knowledge of the software than anything else. And like any application, you gotta learn the bugs, and how to deal with them.
Don't forget the huge advantage iMovie offers: the learning curve is not nearly as long or steep as professional editors. If you want to spend most of your time teaching about the software, use a professional application. If you want to spend your time teaching about making great movies, iMovie may be a very good choice.
One thing I haven't done is to look over my Sonar 3
music producing software for which we record music.
You know how it is...you get into this routine that
works again and again, and mindlessly I just save to
wav. format. I'll have to look...but I'm sure there
are any number of audio formats that could be burned
as voiceovers. Not familiar with AIFF...
AIFF is one of many audio formats supported by QuickTIme, the system software iMovie is based on. It is the audio format used by commercial audio CDs. It's what iMovie uses too. Any audio file you import to iMovie is (automatically) converted to AIFF. The audio of all video imported from a video camera is converted to AIFF.
Some audio files convert better than others. Sometimes non-AIFF songs imported from iTunes convert poorly, for example, and can cause stutter. I suspect it has to do with the compression of those files by iTunes, but I don't know that for sure.
I take it AIFF must be a bit like a .gif or .jpeg
photo image over a large .TIFF image? Condensed and
smaller. Is there much detectable noticeable
difference in quality?
Actually, AIFF is like the .TIFF image. It's the large, high-quality audio format.
Now...also Karl, you say you've never seen this
problem so...it could be that we'd clear this issue
simply by getting a stand alone machine and external
drive...but unless perhaps I go about producing my
audio tracks differently...we might still have the
same problems.
No, if the number of audio clips is causing the stutter, a standalone machine may not prevent it.
Have you tried moving your iMovie project to your local machine and testing it for stutter? That should provide a clue whether stutter is caused by, made worse by, or not affected by the network.
What...do most people use some kind of microphone
plugged into the computer to make voice overs?
Yes. Our voiceovers are automatically added to the iMovie project as AIFF files.
For voiceovers I use a simple Radio Shack combo headphone/mic plugged into a Griffin iMic, plugged into a USB port. Total cost: about $60.
With a professional studio, I can remove silence
noise, master sound and so forth. Garageband does
all that quite easily?
Sorry, no idea. (I don't use GarageBand.)
You've not heard much about the "stutter" issue...I
think it was oe of the posts where I was advised to
check out a link. When I searched "stutter" I got a
feeling for what others are doing, but no real SIMPLE
solution seemed to have been resolved to go about
dealing with it. Certainly nothing that I could
realistically teach HS students. They need a user
friendly option pure and simple.
I agree you need a user friendly solution. But the first step is to figure out what's causing the problem. then decide whether that's going to be a common problem in your lab. If the stutter you see is caused by having 100 audio clips in the project, but 99% of your projects have fewer than 80, it won't be a big problem. You can use a workaround if/when stutter occurs on the occasional project. (I wouldn't want to waste lots of time teaching workarounds, it doesn't hurt for students to learn a bit about workarounds too.)
One last thing...you mention "exporting the audio
clips" and then "importing them back" to convert to
AIFF...
you are doing this right from iMovie..and then what
or where are you doing this conversion?
Yes, it's all done in iMovie. iMovie lets us export the audio from a portion of the Timeline to an AIFF file, then re-import it.
The large "stutter topic" linked to earlier describes Workaround 4, how to combine audio clips.
Here's a link to that workaround:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2597029&#2597029
If that link doesn't work, click on the "more options" link above the search box on this page. Then do this:
Search for: +WORKAROUND +"combine audio clips"
Forum: All
Date: All
Username: Karl Petersen
That message is part of the much longer "stutter thread". If you haven't read the first message of that thread, you should. It describes how to test your project to learn whether the number of audio clips is causing stutter.
You mentioned you are importing .wav files to the iMovie project. That MAY be causing the problem. iMovie converts them to AIFF, and like a few iTunes songs, it's possible that conversion isn't going well. You need to rule it out as the cause. Your audio software should let you create AIFF files too.

ISight and Firewire Audio Devices

I am having issues with my Firewire audio devices and my iSight camara. If I am using my external Firewire audio device (Firewire 800) I get errors on my audio device and somethimes the iSight camara. If on plug in one of the devices things seem to run ok. I have a recording studio and work with other studios on line. Is there any fix for this....
