Front Firewire through Audig

I just got a new case with a front mounted firewire port and I've been having trouble connecting it. There are two firewire port connectors onboard my mobo, but they are made with a single plub in mind, whereas the cable to the front ports are divided into individual plugs. I was reading Maxium PC and they mentioned that you could plug these into your Audigy2 card. That seems plausible, but I still don't know what to put where, is there a resource for this?
The Firewire cable to the front port has these plugs
VP
VG
TPB-
TPB+
TPA-
TPA+
Ground
Ground
I'm using the epox 8rda+ mobo

It's 2am in the morning and I just solved the problem: I tried printing to tape from FCP, then I went back to iMovie and now my front firewire port WORKS!!!!

  • Capturing camcorder via Extigy front firewire p

    Greetings,
    I have a Soundblaster Audigy Platinum Ex sound card and would like to use the front firewire port on the Extigy. My camcorder which is a Panasonic NV-GS200 is recognised when using the back firewire port but not when through the external Extigy dri've, which is much more convenient. I am running Windows XP SP2 and am using Ulead Video Studio 8 as the capture software. Does anyone know what the problem might be and how to fix it's
    Thanks

    Windows 7 Changed the standard 1394 driver from XP which allows Win 7 to Throttle bandwidth on Firewire devices. This is why Ann mentioned the legacy driver which is basically the old XP driver. The bandwidth throttling causes allot of issues with certain cameras during the Handshake process which is why you often have deck control but no preview or primary video stream. If you follow the instructions in the link above or the paste below to set the Legacy driver for the 1394 controller , that will often resolve these issues. However some firmware on different manufacturers Firewire controllers include these C-State Bandwidth throttling sets so it still may not work. In that case you want to get a Firewire card with a TI chipset. The firmware on TI chips are clean and dont include the C-State changes.
    Solution 6: Use the Legacy FireWire driver (Windows 7 x64)  
      Click the Windows Start button; type "device manager" into the Search box and select Device Manager
      Swivel open the "IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers" item
      Right-click on your listed 1394 controller; select "Update Driver Software"
      Click the "Browse my computer for driver software" button, followed by the "Let me pick from a list" button
      Select the option that has "(Legacy)" at the end of the name; click Next and let Windows install the driver
    Make sure you restart the system after you make the change to legacy. Also do not have the Firewire device plugged in when changing the driver to Legacy.
      Close out of dialogs and retry capture'

  • MacPro Front Firewire and USB Ports Acting Up

    Devices connected to the front firewire 800 and USB ports on my MacPro are acting up. (2x2.66GHz dual-core, early 2007) I put a firewire rugged LaCie onto the firewire port and the MacPro hung. The drive works fine on my MacBook. On the MacPro, the CPU on all cores ran up to 100% and the machine became inaccessible. I put a 80 GB video iPod on the USB port and it could not sync without errors. Could not eject the iPod - OS X reported that an application was accessing the device, even though nothing was running.
    It seems as though connecting devices to the front ports initiates a process that does not behave and/or teminate correctly. All other ports work OK, including those on the back of the machine and the USB and firewire ports on my Cinema display.

    OK, a couple of things. First, have you tried another USB cable? You may have one that is flaky at USB2 speeds which can cause all sorts of mischief.
    Have you tried both "free" USB ports on the machine, or the USB port on the machine that you have the keyboard hooked to?
    Finally, you may find some information in your system log that would point to the answer.
    In my own experience, USB2 on the G5 has not been capable of reaching serious transfer rates. While I get transfer rates close to 60 MB/sec through FW800, I have never gotten more than about 13 MB/sec through USB2, using several flavors of external drive/SATA toaster/enclosure interfaces. However, I have also had bad USB cables lock the machine up like the Tin Man.

  • Front firewire connections

    My 845PE Max2 MB gives me 3 IEEE 1394 connections on the board. I am using two of the three available connections for the S-Bracket on the rear (J1394_1 & J1394_2 and they operate OK) and trying to get J1394_3 connected to the front panel. I have an Antec case with six wires to front panel. Here is how I have them connected to J1394_3:
    Pin 1 - TPA +
    pin 2 - TPA -
    Pin 3 - Ground (VG is Antec ID)
    Pin 4 - open
    Pin 5 - TPB +
    Pin 6 - TPB -
    Pin 7 - Power (VP is antec ID)
    Pin 8 - open
    Pin 9 - key
    Pin 10 - open
    It's not working! Ok, what am I doing wrong. Can anybody help?

    My buddy had that same problem with his Antec Sonata case, it seems that the front Firewire connection was wired wrong on the case, from the factory.  He had to take the wires out of the connector, and rewire it to work.  Two of the connections were backwards, like the person was looking in a mirror when he did it  Check them out really good.

  • Front firewire not working in Antec Sonata case

    Hi
    I have a 865PE Neo2-FIS2R in a Antec Sonata case, and I haven't been able to get the front firewire port to work.
    I've double check all my pin configurations and tested all of the ports tho no luck w/ any of them.
    my configuration is:
    P4 2.4GHZ 800 FSB W/ hyperthreading
    1 x 512 MB Kingston PC3200
    Sapphire 9600 PRO
    Maxtor 20GB
    IBM Deskstar 60GB
    PLEXTOR 40/20/40A
    PIONEER 16X DVD
    Winxp pro (no sp1)
    any ideas?

    i discovered that what the problem was is that the wires from the connectors from the case were mislabled.  the TPA+ and the TPA-, as well as the TPB+ and the TPB- were switched around (the plus was actually a minus)
    after switching that around it worked w/o a hitch
    thanks

  • Anyone using Front Firewire with Antec Case/PS?

    To get the front USB ports to work on my Antec case/PS, I had to go in and remove one of the wires from the connector block as described in this thread.

    Question, is do I need to do the same thing for the front Firewire?  I don't currently have any Firewire devices but it seems like this might have the same issue.  Thanks for any help.

  • Front Firewire Port Slower?

    Hello,
    An associate just got a Mac Pro, 2GB of Ram. We are setting the system up & the only thing installed right now is the OS and FCP. Working from an external Firewire 400 drive, FCP won't play even one video track of DV without getting a warning of dropped frames due to a slow drive when plugged into the front port. We plug the same drive into the back port and we can play 3-streams of DV that have been resized, in real time (all the media the project has). So is the front port naturally slower? Or is something amiss?
    Mike

    I have a similar problem here when connecting my HDV camcorder to the front firewire 400 port and capturing HD video from iMovie.
    The captured video is jerky and a lot of artefact appear as if the firewire throughput wasn't able to sustain the HD stream transfer.
    When connecting the same camcorder to the rear firewire, the problem disappears.
    I have no other firewire device connected
    iMovie HD 6.0.3
    Camcorder Sony HDR-HC1
    I'm thinking it's a hardware problem.

  • Quad-Core/Dual-Core Front firewire issue with VX2100 camcorder

    Hi,
    My VX2100 camcorder will not work (isn't recognized) by the front firewire port on my quad-core G5. The camcorder works on the back port, and I have tried this at the apple store on other machines, all with the same result. Has anyone else had this issue or can offer some advice? Other firewire devices and camcorder have worked fine (I have a canon one that works with the front).
    ikiris

    Well, I went back into Best Buy to test on 3 other laptops (2 Asus, and their floor model for this Sony). It seems to be doing the same problem so at least I was able to rule out broken hardware issue on my particular laptop.
    Here's what I did to test:
    Since I couldn't really install Adobe Premiere on their machines, I used the DVIO software (http://www.carr-engineering.com/dvio.htm) and a 5 min clip I captured.  I transferred onto their machines, hooked up my Sony D8, and attempted to play the video.  It would play for 15 seconds and then stop and jitter with a loud noise (like it does on my laptop).  I even tried changing each machine's firewire driver to the legacy one and same results.  I pulled a brand new 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable off their shelf and still the same problem.
    I think I've nailed it down to Win7x64 bit Home Edition not playing nice with Firewire driver.  Very annoying.  I can't find any concrete evidence of this from other users on any of the forums that have my particular problem, but from my own testing, it's all I can conclude.
    I have 2 other things I can try:
    1.  Opening the laptop and looking at the firewire to maybe find appropriate driver (ugh, I don't want to have to open this thing up).
    2.  Upgrading to Win7x64bit Pro and possibly testing with XP on the new MS Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/).  I can't do it with my Home edition apparantly.
    Who needs to view video on an external TV anyways....sheeesh...(scarcasm).

  • [Front FireWire Port] Audigy 2 SB1394 correct pinout nee

    Hello all,
    I have a Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 card (not ZS, not Platinum, just the original Audigy 2) with the IEEE394 internal port (SB394). There are 9 pins on it ( row of 5 and of 4) and I'm pretty sure I can connect the front FireWire port of my Antec SX040BII case to it. The Antec SX040BII FireWire cable consists of 6 individual connectors :
    VP = PowerVG = GroundTPA+ = Twisted Pair A Channel Positi'veTPA- = Twisted Pair A Channel Negati'veTPB+ = Twisted Pair B Channel Positi'veTPB- = Twisted Pair B Channel Negati've
    Creative told me it was not possible and not intended for that purpose and suggested me to buy an expensi've Audigy front panel... Yeah right.
    I know many users reported to have it hooked up successfully. But I've found so many different and contradictory layouts for that card in these forums and others that I don't know what to do now. Users with an Audigy 2 and an Antec case (preferrably the SX040BII) or Creative techs,could you please indicate me the EXACT pinout so I can hookup this front FireWire port to it ?
    As follow :
    Audigy 2 internal SB394
    [ 2 3 4 5]
    [6 7 8 9 ]

    it is the "Internal connectors such as TAD, CD SPDIF, AUX etc" selection, and then you can see the pin layout. My guess is that it is the small group of pins on the left that you are looking for.

  • Front row through out TV

    Does anyone know how i could watch stuff through the TV from the MAC. Can we do it through the digibox, a Virgin Samsung, or do we need to get something else?
    Thank u in advance.
    Stuart

    Do you mean using a TV as an external monitor for a Mac? In this case, yes, you can buy an Apple video adapter to suit your TV.
    If you plan to use Front Row (this discussion topic) as an entertainment centre on your TV the you will either need to "mirror" the displays (see the Mac display preferences) or get software such as TV Row (http://sites.google.com/site/robijnx/ ) to tell Front Row which display to use. This applies to iMacs - Macbooks have a hot key for switching displays.

  • You can retrieve front row through your time machine

    Why did apple techs take away Front Row!  It looks like I'm not the only person who liked it.
    I found some instructions on how to get it back, but lost them and I think an apple tech would be the only one who could do it.

    Playlists are part of the entire library file, not specific items you can isolate in a backup.  You can replace the whole library file but it will cause your listings to revert to the date when the backup was created.  Media files will not be lost but it may not appear in your iTunes list and the files will have to be added again.
    Alternatively you can use an old version of the .xml file to extract specific playlists.  This will require detailed hand editing of computer coded text files, if you're up for it.
    Perhaps we should back up an you can explain exactly what it is you need.  A "playlist" is just a listing of tracks. not the music itself.  Is it the playlist that is missing (you deleted it accidentally) or is the music missing from your library listing?  You are saying you are having difficulty finding them.  Do you mean finding hte playlists in the iTunes window, or are you referring to the playlists on the backup which, as I said, don't really exist in that form?

  • No video through Sony VX2000 via firewire FCS 2.0.1

    Hi,
    I've been trying all day to pass video via firewire through a Sony VX2000 mini DV camera to a Sony NTSC monitor using the S-video out of the camera. I've tried multiple settings/different combinations, to no avail. At this point, I can't even get video to playback in preview mode on either computer monitor. I just installed a full version of FCS 2.0.1 a couple days ago. And, while I have your attention, any thoughts about using the AJA Io to pass video in and out of FC?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jeff

    Just to follow up and close this out:
    - Kinivo's replacement had the same issue.
    - I daisy-chained another active device between the Apple TV and the Kinivo. This device splits the audio out from the HDMI into L/R channels, but it also maintains the EDID signal back to the Apple TV (as the Kinivo should, as well.)
    In this configuration, video successfully made it to the TV through the Kinivo. My conclusion is that the Apple TV configuration did change something that affected part of the EDID handshake, which the Kinivo switch could no longer handle.
    For you geeks out there, this phrase from an Extron white paper may help:
    "Additionally, a display may handle a new input selection by switching only the TMDS or DDC lines from the previous source, but doing nothing with the HPD line. This can be a problem, because some sources wait for the HPD line to change state before sending video. In such cases, switching between inputs on a display can result in no viewable picture until the system is power-cycled."
    For your additional reading pleasure, please see the following links:
    http://www.extron.com/download/files/whitepaper/edid_guide_wp.pdf
    http://missingremote.com/blog/experience-hdmi-handshake-issues
    I'm now searching for a single active device that will handle these ambiguous areas within the HDMI standard. Hopefully it won't cost me a mint.
    In the end, Kinivo could not solve the problem, so they refunded my money. The switcher was still within the 1-year warranty.

  • Front Row audio through AIRTUNES

    Is there a simple way to get all audio from my movies and music to play in FRONT ROW through my Airport Express (AirTunes) like it does in iTunes....
    thanks

    …which I believe is the problem Apple is having trouble with solving as well. With VLC Player, you can press f and g on the keyboard to insert video/audio delays to get them back into sync.

  • No Firewire

    Hello all, I have read these forums with a passion for the past couple of weeks seeking a way to fix my problem by myself.
    Basically what happened was, I was moving something and I accidently unplugged my computer. I plugged it back in, started it up and my external LaCie hard-drive connected through the FW400 port in the back of my computer did not mount up. I unplugged it, plugged it back in. To no avail. So I test my external Mackie Mixer which uses Onyx Firewire to connect. Usually if it was powered on it was the main source for sound output/input. It did not work either.
    I have done pretty much every step outlined on similar issues and the firewire ports are still not reading devices.
    I connected my lacie disk via usb so it is functional...and my mixer is functional...it's my firewire...
    I suspect they are working slightly...because when I plug in the LaCie disk via the firewire it powers on...but it is just not detected on my computer...
    When looking under Firewire in the System Profiler tool it takes a second to load then displays...
    Firewire Bus:
    with nothing afterwards....any help would be much appreciated...thanks in advance...

    I have a solution for the "dead firewire" problem that seems to work EVERY TIME in my system. This post is a bit long so please be patient, - first a little background:
    My system: PowerMac G5, 1.8 dual, OS: 10.5.2, Firewire devices: iSight & 1TB WD MyBook
    I have owned the system since new and never had any firewire issues before 10.5 & the MyBook. I do not know which causes the problem as the MyBook was bought at the same time as Leopard to use with Time Machine.
    Symptoms: Sometimes the Firewire bus is dead and neither the MyBook nor the iSight will work. When this happens, the system profiler will take a long time if I click the firewire heading but it can not find any of the firewire units.
    My system also has another issue since Leopard/MyBook that causes it to crash into "max fan mode", usually when left alone. I think there is a connection between these two problems and that there is an increased probability for the firewire to be dead after such a crash.
    I have tried a lot of the tips that I have found on these pages: Repairing permissions, pushing the small reset button on the logic board, resetting the PRAM, taking out the battery and removing the power cable for many minutes. Nothing brought my firewire back to life.
    My solution: Both my iSight and MyBook are plugged into the firewire ports on the rear side (iSight in the 400 port and the MyBook in the 800 port). I first remove the iSight connector, then start the Skype application ( 2.6.0.151) and open the preference window and select the VIDEO tab. Skype then tells me that no camera is available. If I then plug the iSight into the FRONT firewire connector the camera is ALWAYS recognized and live video preview is shown if the camera is in the on/open position. (I am not 100% shure it will not work if plugged into the rear connector).
    At the same time the MyBook magically appears on the desktop and the System Profiler will find all information on the firewire bus and quickly. The system goes from "firewire dead" to "firewire OK" with no restart needed.
    I stumbled upon this solution by accident but I do not know why or how it works. It seems that Skype initializes the firewire bus in a way that cures the problem. Maybe Apple should take a look at the Skype firewire code and use it to improve the firewire initialization during system power up ?
