MacBook Air: automatic selection of USB headsets for sound output

Is there a way to let the MacBook Air automatically detect an external USB headset,
and switch from internal speakers to the USB headset, and reverse to speakers when the
USB headset is disconnected ?
It's nice that you can manually select the output in System Preferences / Sound,
but it would be nice also to be able to make the computer use the USB headset
whenever it's plugged in.
Same for the microphone (sound input selection, for USB headsets with a microphone).

USB hub works fine on my 23 Cinema display with the Air, haven't tried the others but I use the USB on display to plug in my mobile broadband ( live out in the sticks and don't get cable or DSL ) and it lets me switch between my Air and MB Pro fine.

Plugged in USB headset and screen went blank

Last night I was playing Far Cry and the wife complained about the noise. So I plugged in a Logitech USB headset, and, ping! -- out goes the monitor.
All four LEDs on the MSI diagnostic bracket turned red. I unplugged the headset and rebooted--everything was fine. Any ideas?
Notes:
-I plugged headset into USB port on front of case, which is connected to one of the two internal 10-pin mobo ports (JUSB1 or JUSB2 I think).
-I have a 7-in-1 card reader plugged into the other 10-pin USB internal port.
Thanks,
RE

Thanks will try that. Also try using the other JUSB headed.
Funny-- the headset works fine when plugged into the USB port on the memory card reader...

Fatality HS-1000 USB Headset (No Sound but is detected by PC)

I don't belei've I've ever been so frustrated with a company and their products. This is my second headset that I've bought and both within 2 months of purchase are dead.
I'm running Windows XP 32 bit. The headset is being found by the USB port and the Creative Volume Panel sees that the headset is there. The controller on the head set works yet I get no sound what so ever.
I've updated firmware, I've installed drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled and still have no sound. Same thing happend on my other headset on the same PC.
edit: Upon uninstalling the mouse that I had previously installed the headset now has sound. When I reinstall the mouse the headset fizzles and looses all sound.

Hello M_Squared,
The settings on the entertainment mode should also be applicable for gaming. Most of the sound settings should be available on the game itself. The rest of your questions can be answered by this link. Under Documents, you can find the alchemy quick start (how to guide) and alchemy FAQ's. Under Lists, you should find the tested games that works with the alchemy software.
Hope this helps.

DYNEX USB Headset no sound

Hello everyone,
I plugged in my DYNEX USB headset for the first time using ARCH linux, and I have no sound.
Things I did to try and make it work:
-It was recognized in alsamixer's sound card selection. I selected the card.
-I unmuted the master sound in alsa by using the command: amixer sset Master unmute.
-I used pavucontrol to select the headset
Anyone have any ideas why i am not getting any sound?

Better bouble check if it is unmuted and volume not 0 - not just "alsa master" like you did with amixer; it's probably best if you select the card in alsamixer (F6 or something) and check the channels. You can save those settings with "alsactl store".
Do you have sound if you select the headset for an application stream manually?
( p.E. start video in mplayer, look for it in pavucontrol under playback / applications, set its sink to the headset )
If that works the easiest way to get it working permanently might be:
- activate module-combine at the the TOP of /etc/pulse/default.pa MANUALLY (it tends to map channels wrong if you have more than 2; also that should ensure that the combine sink is always at the top, which can avoid some trouble).
e.g.
load-module module-combine channels=6 channel_map=front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe
( surround example; customize for your channels )
- delete the default / per application settings in ~/.pulse/* (in my experience those get rather useless in any case after a new sound device is added)
- make sure your combined sink is at the top with "pacmd list-sinks"
example:
$ pacmd list-sinks | head
4 sink(s) available.
* index: 0
name: <combined>
driver: <module-combine-sink.c>
flags: DECIBEL_VOLUME LATENCY
state: RUNNING
suspend cause:
priority: 1000
volume: front-left: 45864 / 70% / -9,30 dB, front-right: 45864 / 70% / -9,30 dB, rear-left: 45864 / 70% / -9,30 dB, rear-right: 45864 / 70% / -9,30 dB, front-center: 45864 / 70% / -9,30 dB, lfe: 45864 / 70% / -9,30 dB
- make it the default sink:
pacmd set-default-sink "combined"
You might have to "killall pulseaudio" before / in between steps to make sure it reloads settings / doesn't change them back etc.
Good luck!

USB headset and MBP

I'm not sure this is the best place to post this question. If there is a better forum, please let me know.
I spend a lot of my time in the late evening hours in a flash-based internet chat room where we broadcast audio and video. I do fine if I use my internal speaker and my iPod earbuds.
I would like to use a headset that has the audio transmitted to the earpieces (which works fine) along with an integrated microphone (which isn't working).
I've tried a couple of different headsets whose microphone input don't work. A technical paper I read said that the input needs to be powered/amplified. This would make sense, because the headsets I've had were straight from the headset to the audio input port without amplification.
However....
I have a Plantronics DSP-400 headset that plugs into a USB port. I get beautiful audio coming to the headset speakers, but I can't get the microphone to work.
I went into System Prefernces > Sound and the Plantronics doesn't show up as an option for the Input subtab. Naturally, I can't get any sound from the headset.
Should this be a Plantronics question?
The Plantronics site for this model says that there should be no drivers for Mac OS X, that it should work as is.
Thanks!
Deb

I have a similar problem: the sound prefs won't stick at all.
I would like sound effects to go through the internal speakers,
I would like sound output (such as iTunes music) to go to my Duet,
I would like sound input to come from my Sennheiser USB headset.
I can re-set this every time I want to the above settings, but only closing and opening the system prefs for sound will show that the sound effects are already re-set to "Selected sound output device"
Re-booting will also re-set the sound prefs, but seems to have unpredictable results: sometimes, but not always, the volume of the input device is set to 0
Any suggestions?

USB Headset and Audigy 2 probl

I've got an Audgy 2 soundcard, with the latest drivers installed, and I'm running across a problem that I believe has to do with a USB headset I just purchased. It's just a standard Audigy 2 card, I've had it for awhile and I'm using the latest drivers for it. The card works great, but for some reason lately it's just been putting sound out over two speakers instead of all fi've. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the headset, which is a Logitech USB Premium Headset 350 model thing. If I uninstall and reinstall the creative console it'll work again. I've noticed when it's not working the creative audio console won't let me select what type of speaker setup I have to sync with the windows one. And by "won't let me select" I mean there are no options at all to choose from. I'm pretty sure this is caused by the USB headset, but I wanted to get another opinion. Am I pretty much screwed if I want to keep using this headset?

sounds like i'm overstating the obvious but if its a A2 zs theirs a headphone socket
in the middle of the external unit.
ps.
why use logitech speakers? with creative speakers you might not have this problem

Having USB headset and external speakers both connected

Have JBL external speakers plugged into the headphones jack and would like to get a headset for communications use. Am assuming that a USB headset would be best for my purposes, since I don't want to have to plug/unplug a device each time I want to use the other.
* Does anyone use this setup? That is, does it work? If yes,
* Would SoundSource (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/freebies/) be the application to use to switch devices?
* What low-cost headset would you recommend?

Hi Chrystal
If I'm understanding correctly, I believe the Sound Preferences within the System Preferences would give you the option of toggling back and forth between the input and output you want. I have speakers run to the headphone jack and also a usb sound device plugged in, and I am able to choose which one I want under the "Output" tab. Take a look at it.
Of course, it might be a hassle switching back and forth. I'm not familiar with the software you named - that might indeed make it simpler.

Since windows 8.1 usb ports and sound are acting strange

Hello,
Since I upgraded to windows 8.1 my sound randomly stutters(very anoying) and my usb ports get turned off, only the ports that have been occupied since boot, new things work, and not reinsterting the things that were present at boot, in the same or a different
port doesn't work.
Hell, why do we pay for an OS that doesn't even work?
I expect that something as simple as an USB port or sound would work just fine.
I have installed all the latest drivers but somehow windows seems to screw things up.
When I boot up debian, I have no problems at ALL. And did I pay a dime for Debian? No, it is free.
I am getting really depressed here, paying for stuff that doesn't work.
So does anyone know any other way to fix this OS than by breaking the disc and never return to it?
Thanks in advance.

Z87-GD65 USB headset and BIOS 1.7 problems

OK...as i've stated on these forums before there is a problem with attaching USB headsets with this motherboard. There is already many posts about the problem so it "is a problem". F.R.E.Q 5 headphone will not work with the mobo, other people on these forums have also complained about razor headsets not working, as I agree with that it is a well known razor has compatibility issues I still think this is a mobo issue that MSI need to address. Logitech G35 work fines...but every other usb headset i've tried doesnt...this is on both 1.3 bios and 1.6. I've also tried other workarounds to no avail.
Any MSI guys readin this...these are the headphone i'm talking about
http://www.cyborggaming.com/prod/freq5.htm
NOW..the BIOS issue...the new 1.7 that has been released...DONT FLASH IT....it just bricked my mate mobos...lucky the GD65 has dual bios. I tried it to see if it happened to get his freq 5 working...but the PC wouldn't post.
Any comments or development on this situations on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Quote from: Nichrome on 08-December-13, 03:57:18
Personally I don't think it's a problem with a BIOS.
Have you tried updating all the drivers? Especially Audio..
Like I said, i've tried every workaround from bios to drivers. Been on these forums, other forums, other sources and no solution seems to work. There is nothing wrong with the headphones as they work on every other PC i've tried and those have had different mobos. Those headphones even work on my Z87 MPower MAX no problem..it is just this Z87 GD65 board. Could be just a bad apple out of the bunch...but I doubt we'll get a RMA for it just cause one sort of headphones wont work on it. Now my mate got a pair of $170 headphones sitting there he cant use.
And as the to 1.7 bios...just by going off the few posts on here i'd be pulling it asap, obviously not alot of testing has been done on it. Just lucky the board has the dual bios option.

USB ports and sound have stopped working

As the subject reads, all 3 of my USB ports have stopped working and all sound. In the device manager I receive a (code 10) for realtek high definition audio. I have done everything I can think of at this point, I have even done a complete OS reinstall. Afterwards I have also updated with every possible driver file I can find from realtek and toshiba, I really don't know what else to do at this point, any thoughts? advice? anybody else with this problem?
Windows 7

L505D-S5983

Same here. I have an L505D that is doing the same exact thing. No sound device, all USB ports not working and the SD card reader not working either. Also when you close the lid and reopen it, the machine won't wake up. Have to restart to get it to come back. Haven't found ANYTHING in forums to help.
Sound devices, USB ports and SD card doesn't show up in the Device Manager.
Took the laptop to a local fixer-upper. Unhooked the charger, took battery out, put battery back in, then restarted the laptop without being hooked up to the charger and everything came back on. But only for a short while. After a couple of days, it does its thing all over again.
Are we looking at a mother board issue here? SURELY someone out there in cyber space has a solution.

Facebook vibration and sound setting turned off but still vibrating and making sounds

Even though my Facebook vibration and sound settings are turned off on my Iphone, I still am receiving a vibration and sound everytime something happens in facebook. This only recently started happening.
I have tried uninstalling the FB app and reinstalling it but still happening

If you are having trouble keeping your fan from operating quietly, I recommend smcFanControl: http://www.eidac.de/
This is a program that runs in the menu bar, where you can manually regulate the power and temperature of your computer. I have had some problems where if I have it on low and I am using it on a bed or carpet, it can overheat without the fan kicking in to cool it down.
If you need to replace, the new Macbook Pro with Retina Display has a phenomenal cooling system that I highly recommend.

PS4 Audio output to USB Headset and HDMI

Hi, I'm having an issue with the audio output from my PS4. I have a capture card (Elgato Game Capture HD) which is connected to my PS4 through the HDMI cable. I also have a Sony Gold Wireless Headset. Whenever I connect the headset using the USB bluetooth connector and have the audio settings set to allow the headset to receive both Chat and Game audio, the game audio going through the HDMI - and thus the Elgato - is muted. Whenever I set the headset to receive just Chat audio, this then unmutes the HDMI game audio. I would like to be able to receive game and chat audio through the wireless headset, whilst also having game audio through the HDMI, however I have as yet not been able to find a setting to allow this. My question therefore is, is it possible to have game audio through the HDMI whilst also using a headset receiving game audio? Thanks in advance for any help.

I want to play audio from my MacBookPro (13inch) through my Roberts stereo which has a standard USB port, which can be selected as the source for playing through the speakers. Does anyone know of a cable I can use to connect the audio output on my MacBook to the USB input on my stereo?
I would have thought this was a pretty standard conversion but cant find anyone selling something with a 3.5mm jack on one end and a USB jack on the other?
Thanks in advance!
Why don't you use the USB port on your computer to get the audio out? USB to USB.

Hello Eugene,
Interesting - possible - coincidence. I just posted about a similar seeming issue here:
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10425731#10425731>
Notice that I've checked Disk Utility's repairs report as well as the System Log with Console: both show mention of USB related items.
This may not have anything to do with your issue but I thought it worth mentioning.

About USB webcam and sound record

Hello,
Can I program the Labview using USB Webcam to take record and record sound in the same time??
Do any one have this type of experience??
Would you mind tell me how to build the structure to Program the software??
Any other essential software need??
Thank you!!
I will use LV7.1.

Hi HeartShield,
You should be able to acquire sound and video at the same time. You can use the sound VIs in LabVIEW to acquire sound from the microphone. There are a few options for the video. You could use the NI Vision Development Module to view the video in LabVIEW. Alternatively, you can use .NET or ActiveX if your webcam software is compatible.
