Firewire audio with jack, route audio to card?

Hi
I hooked up my focusrite saffire 24 pro to my p150em and managed to get qjackcontrol to show that it is connected with 48khz sample rate and the green light is lit up on my saffire. So that's good.
I then tried listening to sounds from various programs, mpg123, cmus and google-chrome (youtube) but encountered errors like "connection refused" from audio server. So I installed alsa-plugins and configured jack to use alsa. Now I can hear things again, but of course, only through my intel soundcard and not the fw saffire!
I figured maybe I could open alsamixer and choose saffire as my soundcard? But it's not there.
How to I route the audio through the saffire?
Best regards,
Love

I have a very cheap C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6 6-channel sound card connected by three jacks to Logitech 5.1 speakers. I also have a headset for Skype connected to the onboard sound.
Here's what I know:
1) To always get the sound card module to load before the onboard sound module, I have added snd_cmipci to my "modules" list in /etc/rc.conf. This means the cmi card is always card 0, the module for the onboard sound gets loaded automatically later.
2) I have ~.asoundrc as follows:
# 6 channel dmix:
pcm.dmix6 {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
ipc_key_add_uid false
ipc_perm 0660
slave {
pcm "hw:0,1"
rate 48000
channels 6
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_time 0
buffer_size 5120
# upmixing:
pcm.ch51dup {
type route
slave.pcm dmix6
slave.channels 6
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
ttable.0.2 1
ttable.1.3 1
ttable.0.4 0.5
ttable.1.4 0.5
ttable.0.5 0.5
ttable.1.5 0.5
pcm.duplex {
type asym
playback.pcm "ch51dup" # upmix first
capture.pcm "hw:0"
# change default device:
pcm.!default {
type softvol
slave.pcm "duplex"
control {
name "Software Master"
card 0
# for aoss
pcm.dsp "duplex"
pcm.dsp1 "duplex"
3) To allow amarok to play each speaker individually using a 6 channel DTS .wav file I added the following to my ~.xine/config
audio.device.alsa_surround51_device:plughw:0,1
4) You can download a 60MB 6-channel DTS test file here. It is in swedish but tests each speaker individually.
My info came from browsing the Alsa wiki

Record streaming audio with XFI Xtreme Audio C

I just got a new pc with this card and unfortunately it has no what u hear or stereo? mix record option.Can I loop the Digital output device(SPDIF) into the Digital input device(SPDIF) to record streaming audio? I can't install a different card because it will void my extended warranty. Thanks

I had no trouble recording "what you hear" streaming audio with my extreme audio (pcie). If you are using the same card I'll walk you through it, if you're using the pci version, take a look to see if it's the same and try it. Open Creative console launcher (by clicking the icon in the system tray), select the mixer, find the record ("rec") slider, (on my console it's on the far right) click the little triangle in the box at the top of the slider, select "what u hear", open creative mediasource, hit record, and start the streaming audio.

Sync audio with multi camera audio mistaken

Hello everyone, i really need big help. It's not an adobe issue. propably it's my fault.
So, here's the deal. I edit a music concert. I've been given the original audio footage and i used 3 cameras.
Even though with synchronize option i synchronized each one with the original audio while i'm editing it seems like after a while it's unsynchronized. Any idea please? i've spent lot of hours doing it separately but it always losing synchronization.
Thank you all, in advance.
I've noticed that while the audio is in 44100hz camera settings are in 48000hz. i tried to convert the audio but finally it didn't worked.

It seems fairly normal for separately recorded audio to drift out of sync on longer shots. I'm not entirely clear why camera makers can get all their cameras to sync perfectly with each other, even across manufacturers, yet audio recorders have such a hard time with this. But...they do.
The solution is to find out by trial and error what percentage your device is off, and then apply that change to the audio clip. I had a recorder that needed to be speed adjusted to 100.04% in PP for the audio to remain in sync, so I applied that to every audio clip from that recorder.

Problems monitoring audio with a m-audio Firewire 410 card

So I have a M-Audio 410 hooked up through the firewire port on my G5, But it geeks out (audio turns to loud noise, strange defects, spinning ball of slowness appears) everytime I try to monitor audio out of final cut, also when I play LARGE quicktime files!!! The card works fine for all other applications I have on my mac, Cubase, iTunes etc... Anyone else have heard of this, or know what to try. I have most of my video on an external drive, a LACIE media drive, which is my only option as I am working with large amounts of video.
I am thinking this is an issue with the bandwith of firewire on the computer. Maybe too much information between the audio card, and accessing the drive through the other firewire port. Any thoughts?

Hello, I was just about to post the following when I saw your recent post, Wondering if you ever found a solution for what you're running into? (BTW, I went to UO a looooong time ago. Go Ducks!)
We'd like enhance the audio end of our edit suite and are thinking of adding an "FireWire 410" from m-audio for I/O. And ProTools.
But we've read here and there in forums that there may be a problem with Firewire I/O (and maybe the m-audio "FireWire 410" in particular?) and confusion with decks like the DSR-11, etc. Disturbs the video on an external broadcast monitor.
One note: we don't think we'd necessarily be sending audio from the DSR-11 to the "FireWire 410" (and on to headphones and speakers) via firewire.
Anyone out there using FCP and the "FireWire 410" who could comment?
Thanks,
Brad

Record audio with labview and audio dataplugin

The thing I would like to do, is write waveforms to WAV/wma/mp3 files.
The way to do this, is probably with the help of the audio data plugin.
However, it is far from clear how to configure and use this plugin with LabView. There is documentation available for DIAdem, but what good is that to me, as a simple LabView user?
There is also an example for reading dataPlugin data with LabView, but this example is:
A) not working, e.g. it cannot open a simple WAV file, when using "uspAudio" as DataPlugin Name
B) not documented
C) not handeling errors
D) only reading, not writing, which is slightly more complicated.
So, tips for writing waveform to audio files and/or
tips for working with dataPlugins in LabView would be welcome...

Ok, so, now I can read a WAV/WMA/mp3 file, see attached VI
There's still one problem: writing data to a WAV/WMA/mp3 file. In my "DataPlugin Write Audio File.vi" I try to read from / listen to a microphone connected to a AD card. On the Waveform graph, I see my signal correctly, but in the WAV file, there is only a flat line (zero's).
Perhaps it is needed to add properties to the group, but I don't know which properties to add...
All advice is appreciated...

Replace audio with separately recorded audio and sink it with video and original audio

I have recorded the audion with a high quality digital recorder. How do I replace the audion taken with my video camera? and make sure it is in sink with the video.

Once you have followed Steve's steps, to adjust the sync perfectly, see this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/436751?tstart=120
Now, some users have found that their cameras, and their separate audio recorders do not sync 100%. With today's technology, they certainly should, but camera and recorder companies do not see to care, so leave the task to the editor. One user found that his Zoom recorder was about 0.06% slower than his Panasonic cameras, by trial and error, and critical listening. This was a constant sync error. To correct, he changes the speed of the Audio 1.04%, with Maintain Pitch checked - then it is always perfect. If you find that you cannot maintain perfect sync, explore speed settings for the Audio. If the recorder is a high-quality, the OOS (Out Of Sync) should be constant, and when you find the correction, it should be the same for all projects, so the trial and error should pay dividends.
Good luck,
Hunt

Using onboard audio with SB Live card installed

Is it possible (or even wise) to use onboard audio with a SB Live Value card installed. I need to keep the SB Live card as I still have a couple of gameport devices, but I'd like to take advantage of the onboard audio (or should that be free myself from the disdavantages of the SB Live).
I guess the key issue is diabling the SB Live sound but still keeping the gameport active. Is this do-able or am I just opening a can of worms ?

Could well be a can of worms.
I can only say that I have had both installed on my K7n420 NF1 and was able to switch back and forth, all I did was set what sound controller I wanted to be used in the sound device config in the windows sound control panel.
Try it and see....but I am a bit pessimistic as far as it doing what you expect.

Monitoring and recording problem with midi vs audio firewire

I'm trying to record my Roland synth via Inspire firewire box into Logic express. I'm able to record and monitor thru the output of the inspire box. However If I'm using firewire, I can't hear other midi file tracks and vice versa. I keep switching input and output sources in the control settings but it seems like I either have to use all midi tracks or all audio tracks. Same situation with playback. I know this is wrong but am totally stumped. Any advice would by awesome.

Dave, You might need an external DAW to do this, I got it working and I'm an idiot. There is only one I/O for logic and if you use it for the audio recording it's not available for the sounds you want to have coming out of logic. I have Roland Edirol UA-25USB2 and it works like a charm, If I understand what I did correctly, the sound and MIDI messages are routed via an Aggregate Device in the audio/MIDI set-up [you configure the device in the audio half] to the Edirol, and there are many extra functions to choose from-I avoid the 3.5mm audio out headphone plug by routing audio out through the DAW Edirol-much better sound quality than the mini stereo jack.

I have an airport extreme which doesn't come with a straight audio jack on it like the express. Can I get a converter to go from the dual speaker plugs to usb on the extreme?

Sorry, but no. The only Apple router with an audio output jack is the AirPort Express.

My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

There is probably a red light on inside your headphone port, indicating that the analog/digital switch in there is stuck in the digital position. Insert a headphone plug and wigle it around, especially in the horizontal plane, as you insert and remove it several times. This will usually unstick the switch and restore normal operation. If it doesn't, the machine will need to be repaired.
This has been a fairly common problem, but in most cases it is easily cured as described above.

What type of connector do I need from my Macbook Pro Retina laptop for sound out to audio speakers with regular audio input jacks?

Using Front Panel Audio with Fatality Professional

I have a query regarding connections on the Titanium Fatality PCIe.
I have an XFi XtremeMusic PCI card and am considering replacing it with the Titanium Fatality XFi card. A couple of reasons, I like the shrouded enclosure, I like the little XFi LED logo, I want to move away from PCI cards in my system.
But one of the main reasons is to allow me to connect my Intel HD Audio connector to the card so I can use the Headphone/Mic socket on my case. So if anyone has these cards can they confirm that they have an Intel HD Audio connector on them. If so does connecting the headphone to the case socket mute the speakers?
Cheers

Well, I don't personally have one, but I was under the impression that every X-Fi had one. I know my X-Fi Fatal1ty (original PCI version) included it, and my Recon3D definitely does.
Plus if you check their shop website for the Titanium Fatal1ty Professional than the specs page lists a 2x 5-pin connector for "Intel HD Audio Compatible Front Panel Header" so it most likely does.
I would assume it would mute the speakers only if your case is fully Azalia compliant. By that, I mean the standard (as dictated by Intel) involves the use of two normally-open switches - one each on the headphone and microphone jack - which are closed as a result of plugging something into them. Some cases have these jacks which means it can detect when you plug something in and respond accordingly, but others use cheaper (we're talking differences in cents - not exactly substantial savings, but when you do it thousands of times over it adds up) switchless jacks and simply report them as always plugged in.
Just remember to set up the X-Fi panels to mute the speakers when you plug headphones in, as well as switch the output to headphone mode. You can actually set those two options separately on X-Fis.
