Firewire output volume to Onyx board

I can't find a way to reduce the Macbook firewire output to the input on my Mackie. Neither device seems to have an adjustment and the firewire output is ten times hotter than the analogue inputs on the board.
Other than turning down the volume in each individual app, any ideas?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Sometimes the volume setting gets jumbled, and resetting the PRAM will fix it. Follow these steps:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

  • Output Volume Stuck

    Hello
    I have not updated or changed any settings on my PowerBook, but the output volume seems to be stuck. I can not hear anything, not even start up chime. The volume icons when pressed on the key board show a circle with a slash through it. I have gone into system preferences and attempted to check there, but I can not move the slider bar for the out put volume, nor can I select the mute or unmute. How do I fix this? please help!
    Thank you,
    Rebecca

  • Output volume on my MacBook Pro is not working

    My output volume on my MacBook Pro is not working. When I go to "Settings", then "Sounds", then "Output", I can not slide the volume bar at all, or change it in the menu bar?

    See if a PRAM reset will solve the problem;

  • FCP Problem with Firewire output to external monitor and speaker ???Help

    i have a g5 powermac. the problem is when using Final cut pro 4hd. when i output my work through firewire to my external monitor and speaker i have a problem with the audio signal. Theres feedback/noise/hiss from the speakers. The firewire connects to DSR-11 vtr deck which feeds my monitor and speakers. it only happens when in FCP is set to A/V firewire output. does not happen if Video output is not set to firewire.
    I Diagnosis is that it is not my dsr-11 deck or firewire i've ruled those out. The problem is either FCP software or Hardware problem with my G5
    Does anyone have a similar problem. please respone, i will try to answer any respones,
    Thanks

    From the firewire that feeds the dsr-11. on the output, i use s-video cable to my monitor (sony pvm-14l) and High Quality rca cables thet feed the audio to the Roland Speakers.
    I've changed all wires and still have audio problem. I,ve changed my Dsr-11 deck to my camcorder and still have the problem.
    If any of u guys use FCP The problem happens When I select view> external Monitor > and select firewire for Audio/ and video. I have never changed my editing habits, something just went wrong with the signal, I think its a Hardware problem with the firewire connection. I'm Going to have to bring this to a Apple Service Center In my local area one day.

  • Firewire Output for Video Preview Intermittent

    I'm experiencing a frustrating problem with After Effects these days.
    We're producing some video to be projected, so to see what the final output will really look like, I'm doing video previews using FireWire so output goes directly to the projector. 
    It's been working great up until yesterday.  Was working fine until I had to restart my Mac.  Upon reboot, my the projector no longer gets any video output.
    I've tried restarting numerous times, checked all connections, etc.  Got it working again after several restarts, but after switching over to Photoshop momentarily, the video output once again disappeared.
    Any suggestions on how to regain consistent Firewire output for Video Previews?
    My setup:
    After Effects CS6
    Mac Pro
    OSX Version 10.7.5
    Firewire Output of my Mac's monitor is going to the Firewire Input on my Sony Media Converter
    RCA Video out (Composite video) going to the projector's video input.
    After Effects Video Preview preferences:
    Output Device:  FireWire
    Output Mode: Apple FireWire NTSC

    Thanks for your reply, Rick.
    I finally figured it out... I had a background application running called iCam that monitors my security cameras.  I had forgotten that it uses Firewire and was intermittently hogging the resources.  Once I quit that application, everything was good once again.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond, much appreciated!

  • Increasing Output Volume?

    Hello all,
    I have a 15" macbook pro that I purchased over the summer. I've noticed that my volume doesn't go nearly as high as my friend's macbook pro, and he has an 13" model that is older than mine. Is there any way I can increase my maximum output volume? I have already adjusted my sound settings in system preferences, but there is nothing to make it louder. Is there something I'm missing here?
    Thanks

    If it's iTunes you're listening to, make sure the volume slider in the iTunes window is turned up all the way, then use the master volume controls (the F10, F11 and F12 keys) to regulate the volume. If the iTunes slider isn't up all the way, it limits the maximum volume that you can get by turning the master volume up. At least this has been my experience.

  • I am buying an audio interface with Firewire output, would I feed this into Firewire,USB or Thunderbolt for Garageband?

    I am buying an audio interface with Firewire output, would I feed this into Firewire,USB or Thunderbolt for Garageband?

    I don't have a H4 but do have a H2. Did you set the H4 as a audio interface, after you plug it in choose interface in the H4 screen?
    Did you choose the H4 input channel in the track info?

  • Firewire Output.....

    I'm using Garage Band on a brand new iMac 21.5"... my first Mac actually.
    I'm using a Mackie 1640i to record church worship and not having any issues there, my question is this:
    The console allows me to feed it 16 channels of audio via Firewire to the individual channels on the console. Is there a way in Garageband to assign each channel an individual firewire output channel?

    Well, the idea would be to use the analog side of the console for the final mix, as well as having a pretty unique teaching tool for up and coming sound personnel.

  • Can I convert a camera Firewire output to a USB input on a laptop without buying a Canopus box?

    Can I convert a camera Firewire output connector to a USB input on a laptop without having to buy a Canopus box or other expensive piece of equipment?

    Unfortunately, no. Firewire and USB are two entirely different methods of transfering data. There's no simple/cheap converter out there. You will have to look into either purchasing a canopus device or get a computer which will support a firewire or video input.

  • Output volume

    I have to reset  the output volume in my System Preference whenever I restart my computer because it reverts back to some default setting whenever I restart. How do I change this setting?

    Thanks, your message did help and gave me a little bit more knowledge about the world of sound which is becoming more complex than I ever imagined.
    But I want more volume.....
    I have tried using the volume enhancer preset (hiFi) from the inserts of the output track and this has increased my volume, but my RMS is still only getting to around -14.
    Any ideas on how to get more volume anyone?
    And by the way, am I doing the right thing by using the output track to control my final volume output? I have found that the master volume fader on my TASCAM-428 will also define the final level of my mp3 bounces, and that they are basically interchangeable in terms of controlling output levels.
    e.g. if i have everything all the way up and then pump my master volume fader on the Tascam to full, my file will distort.
    Thanks in advance (hopefully).

  • Sound Output Volume Preference won't stick in newly reinstalled 10.6.8.

    I recently re-installed OS 10.6.8 (from the retail Snow Leopard Install DVD, followed by the 10.6.8 Combo Updater) to my 2006 iMac (version 6.1) 24". Ever since, whenever I re-boot, the output volume of the internal speakers is set to a reduced level. When I bring it up to the level I like - that's fine, but only for as long as the session. If I re-boot, the level is once again dropped down to the reduced level.
    I've reset the output level using the keyboard keys, and also in the System Preferences - nothing seems to stick. I've even plugged in a pair of headphones and set the output volume to be the same as my preferred speaker level, but still, nothing sticks.
    I can't find a preference file to delete that is specifically for Sound Preferences. I've used Cocktail to search for a corrupted preference file, but that finds nothing as well.
    How can I regain control of my volume setting so that it will survive a re-boot?

    I should have added that resetting the P-Ram didn't help, neither did an SMC Reset.

  • Audio output volume setting

    I'm trying this for the first time. I want to be able to record voice and instruments through a mic. When I open a new track, the output volume slider is 'greyed out", and I can't adjust it. I've maxed every other volume control I can find, but the output is muted when I play it back. Anyone else had this problem?

    I want to be able to record voice and instruments through a mic.
    if it's a regular mic plugged into the computer:

    what "output" slider are you talking about?

  • Applescript output volume consistently "missing value"

    It seems that the output volume returned by the "get volume settings" applescript call is consistently the "missing value".  Setting the output volume to a different value "works" -- that is, the effective volume is set to the value I specify -- but the value returned by applescript is still "missing value".
    For example, the following script
    display dialog "output volume = " & (get output volume of (get volume settings))
    set volume output volume 50
    display dialog "output volume = " & (get output volume of (get volume settings))
    gives me this dialog both times
    What's up with that?
    This is on Mavericks 10.9.0

    Yes, I discovered much the same thing.  If I have my system/default output device set to my headset, then I get the behavior I described.
    However, I also find that while the output device is "missing value" the other values, including muted, have proper values. 
    There is also no way to set the output device via Applescript (except by the distasteful method of poking they System Preferences GUI settings).  So there is no proper way of really controlling sound output via applescript.
    But thanks for the prompt response.  If only the Applescript documentation were complete in this respect (unless I missed it somehow).
