G5 Audio Hardware Problems

Just bought a G5. Love it. Having trouble with audio.
I mainly use the G5 to edit video with Final Cut Pro 5 and to record and mix music. I go out of the G5 to an old Mackie 1202 12-channel mixer, and from there into a pair of Tapco S-5 studio monitors.
I am coming out of the computer from its audio line out jack, which as far as I can tell is my only real option. I do not seem to be getting true stereo coming out, and I am getting a bunch of RF interference coming in through my speakers. I have balanced TRS cables going from the mixer to the monitors, so that's not the problem. I have a crappy Radio Shack cable going from the miniplug out of my computer to one channel of my mixer.
So, my questions:
1. How do I get rid of the RF interference?
2. How do I get a true stereo signal coming out of the computer and going to two separate channels of the Mackie mixer?
3. What do professional audio and video editors do with a G5 -- do they install a new sound card and bypass the miniplug jack altogether? Is it possible with this method to take a balanced stereo signal out of the computer?
4. I had an Aardvark (RIP) sound card in my old PC for audio recording and mixing. For some reason I thought Macs didn't need upgraded sound cards. Wrong, I guess. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

If you want to get some real studio quality outputs,
your going to need to get a firewire audio card. Go
onto the Logic forums to see what people are using
but M-Audio sells a couple models for good prices.
We use the Focusrite Saffire. These breakout boxes
will give you some nice 1/4" outputs to use.
Thanks. I've looked over the M-Audio interfaces, and the 410 looks very nice. But once again, I see that all the 1/4" outputs are unbalanced. Is this going to just give me the same problem with RF interference again?

  • Firewire + external audio hardware problem (6-pin)

    Hi,
    I'm also having problems with the 9-pin firewire port on my recently bought 13" Macbook Pro. I have a Hercules 16/12 External Soundcard with 6-pin firewire which works perfectly on my white Macbook with 6-pin firewire port.
    On the Macbook Pro:
    Yesterday the audio played normally (f.e. iTunes) for a few seconds and then the device crashed, no sound anymore till I restart the device. Today it looked like it worked, it doesn't crash and kills the sound, but there is a constant crackle noise on the audio... I tried different sample-rates, resetting the SMC (I read that somewhere on here), I still have to check if the problem could be a faulty 9-pin to 6-pin firewire cable I bought, but I don't think that's the problem.
    There is nothing wrong with the audio device, because it still functions correct on the older Macbook with the 6-pin firewire port.
    Anyone out there with other suggestions of what might solve this problem?
    Thanks.

    The original FireWire specification, FireWire 400 (1394a), supported a maximum distance between devices of 4.5 meters (cable length). FireWire 800 supports a maximum distance between devices of 100 meters (cable length).
    Unibrain says they can exceed the FW 400 4.5 meter cable length because their cables not only achieve a very controlled 110 Ohm impedance but also provide high performance for skew, attenuation and crosstalk. These latest features were not prerequisites when the first IEEE-1394/1395 specification was issued, at the time limiting the maximum cable length to 4.5 meters. Therefore they can now secure safe operation of their Firewire 400 cable lengths up to 10 meters.

  • Audio Hardware Setup problem

    Hello everyone, heres another mystery. Recently I had to uninstall my sound card driver( I use a Asus Xonar D1 Audio). After downloading it again I cant get Adobe to work. The problem is I cant get both speakers to play. When I go to the audio hardware setup in Adobe, I get this in the output box:
    Stereo: L,Ls,C,Lb
    or
    Mono:L,R,Ls,Rs,C,Sub,Lb,Rb
    I can only select one of the options and therefore only one speaker works. If I select L, then I only get sound from the left speaker, R-right speaker etc.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    First I did what you said and it didnt work, so i played around whith the inputs and outputs in ASIO4ALL and then I tried your way again and...oh yeah.
    Man you just made my day...well...evening(my day was full of stress) and if I could, I would get you a beer
    Thanks man

  • Is there a quick way to change audio hardware output?

    Hello,
    I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB audio interface hooked up to my Windows 8 machine. I use it to record vocals in a sound booth. The sound booth is closed off from access to the computer, so I monitor my recordings throught the headphones connected to the Scarlett.
    The problem I have is when I edit my files, I want to use my speakers connected to my computer. That is easy enough, I can go to the Audio Hardware settings in Audition and change the ouput from the Scarlett to the speaker output on my computer, but now I have no audio going to the headphones connected to the Scarlett should I need to make a quick re-record. I can output to the speakers directly from the Scarlett but the maximum volume is ridiculously quiet, which means I have to really crank the speakers volume high but if I get any audio through my PC, such as an e-mail alert or an alert sound (which the monitor speakers are also connected to) the volume is super loud.
    I was wondering if any one knew of a way I can add a shortcut to the main Audition interface to easily switch between audio output sources?
    Or even better would be to have dual audio output sources, so I can monitor on both the Scarlett headphone output and my Speakers attached to my PC.
    I hope that makes sense and I would really appreciate any help.
    Thank you
    Mendoza

    Hey, thanks for the ideas.
    Yes, I am using Balanced TRS 1/4" connectors from the Focusrite, straight into the speakers. I also tried a pair of unballanced TRS cables and a pair of TRS to XLR connectors just in case it was the connection type causing a problem.
    I would rather not use an amplifier between the Focusrite and the speakers. Unfortunately the Focusrite Scarlett is renowned for it's ridiculously low monitor output level, but adding a volume booster like an amp in the middle just seems to be boosting an unecessarily low signal, as can be seen on many forums. Really, the volume from the Focusrite monitor output should not be so low in the 1st place. Even when I connect my iPhone through it's line out connection to my speakers the volume is louder. I thought it was a defective Focusrite unit, so I replaced it but it wasn't, as the replacmenet was the same. However, the recording quality and the mic preamps are superb in the Focusrite, So I really like its recording capability.
    The most frustrating thing is that the volume level coming out of my PC (I connect through the SPDIF output to a Cambridge DACmagic DAC and output via RCA interconnects to the speakers) is perfect. Nice, loud and crystal clear. I would much prefer to use this output to the monitor speakers, but then I have no sound to my headphones when I am in the booth. I don't want to connect my headphones to the PC as it is far away and there really is no need as the volume level and latency to the headphones is perfect through the Focusrite, I just need an easy way to either switch output sources in Audition or a way to output playback to both I think.
    Thanks again for your help so far.

  • Mac mini audio output problems

    This is similar to a problem that appeared before, but with a different twist.
    On 4 July all was well. On 5 July I switched on and there was no "chord" from the Mac. When I collected my mail - no sound from my speakers (which are part of my screen). Logged on to a couple of sites - no sound.
    The System Profiler, under the "Audio (Built In)" category, says: "No Built-in Audio." I know that's wrong because it's always worked before and when I plug my headset in it works fine.
    When I go to the Sound preferences panel in System Preferences, it finds the headset but if I unplug that it finds nothing.
    I tried running the hardware test (by putting in the OS X install disc and holding D during startup.) It couldn't find a problem.
    So, as far as I can see, audio output is fine for the USB headset output but not for the others. Is there a simple fix? The nearest Apple store is about 200 miles away and I don't fancy the idea of posting the Mac off.
    (And I think it's still under warranty for a couple more weeks.)
    Mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    hello mini users with the "no audio output" problem
    it seems that there are faulty output jacks in the macbook and the mac mini
    there are two things you can try:
    i tried everything and began thinking about what new software i had installed. it was "macam" which enables you to use older webcams on OSX. i needed that to use my webcam on skype.
    macam installs a file called "macam.component"
    if you have the same, do this - take that file out of:
    (your hard drive)/library/quicktime - macam.component
    and just put it on your desktop
    restart, then in your sound pref's choose your audio output (if doesn't work restart again)
    the first time i took it out, i had my sound back instantly, another time i had to choose audio output in sound prefs. you kind of have to try different things. after you get your sound back, you can put back "macam.component" to use your webcam.
    it seems macam causes the problem, the two can not work at the same time.
    the second thing: if you dont have "maccam" try plugging and unplugging output jack a few times and restarting until you have sound.
    the problem still could be with the OSX 10.4.10 update / quicktime...or maybe even a hardware problem like others with macbooks were saying (with the red light), not sure.
    people with macbooks and who have the red light on, say to use a paperclip to turn off the switch inside.
    my mini does not have a red light on. i tried using a paperclip but it doesnt work.
    hope this helps, beleive me i feel your pain!!!!
    what good is a computer without sound?
    extremely annoying problem that i hope apple looks into and fixes

  • USB audio hardware: what works with iBook 366 clam and OSX 2.8?

    I just bought a Behringer UAC202 USB audio interface. My iBook will recognize that it is attached and will give me audio 'out' settings, but it will not configure any audio 'in' settings. It works fine on my iBook G4 with OSX 4.11 however.
    Is this a Behringer problem? Do I need to use OSX Panther on the old iBook? Is there a problem with the old clamshell's as far as USB audio in?
    Anyone know a cheap USB audio hardware that works in this case? I want to dedicate this great old machine to some easy audio useage.... using the Polar RAM looper instrument in Digital Performer..... and nothing else..... I'm not recording audio to my hard drive..... just want to get audio in and out of the iBook to and from Digital Performer.
    Thanks!

    Driver support in Panther is pretty limited with regards to newer hardware as far as i've experienced. If there isn't any drivers offered, either by the company or via third party, then you may be stuck.
    The only way that i get audio in on my Blueberry iBook is with the Apple iMic that i picked up at an Apple Store a few years ago. It works fine under panther, tiger and leopard.
    Good Luck

  • Audio hardware missing after depot repair?

    Damnedest thing. Just got my ThinkPad x200s back from Memphis where the main board was swapped out because of a really bad BSOD problem.
    Discovered there is no audio, and so I thought I would just uninstall the audio devices via Device Manager, then let the system re-install.  As there doesn't seem to be any audio hardware, it is useless to download drivers.
    Anyone had this happen before?

    Ok... well that, along with no startup sounds, coupled with no audio device (known or unknown) showing in Device Manager, sure seems to point at hardware.
    Since you just got the machine back from a system board replacement at the depot, it makes sense to consider contacting them and having things checked again. Alternatively, if you're comfortable pulling the keyboard and a few other parts, you might take a peek to see if any connectors are loose.
    Your hardware manual: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/x200_x200s_x200si_x201_x201i_x201s_hmm_en... will give you an idea of what might be involved in that

  • Blue Snowball USB microphone will not connect to audio hardware

    My new Blue Snowball USB mic will not connect to the audio hardware in Premiere Pro. It connects well to my Mac but I cannot select it in Premiere Pro. Anyone know of a workaround or some help?

    I was able to solve the problem by adding a Mono track first, then recording to that track.  It's strange I have to do this, I have a Windows laptop at home that I use with CC 2014 and a Blue Yeti and Premiere just "knows" that I'm trying to record and makes the change. 

  • Audio playback problems w/ FF800

    Hello,
    I am having problems with my FF800 which seem like they should not be happening and I'm hoping that you can help me to sort this out. Here's the bottom line -
    I'm running an Ableton Live project and Native Instrument's Guitar Rig 2 on my machine. The Live project has 9 stereo tracks, rather large files but there are not a lot of plugins on those tracks, nor do they have a lot of edits, they are just 'playback' tracks.
    Here's the issue -
    When I run this exact project and Guitar Rig 2 at the same time using my lame, cheap M-Audio Ozone, old USB audio device, everything works fine, I have system resources. Live plays back nicely, Guitar Rig plays back nicely. Both have low enough latency to work in harmony with each other. I can start, stop, files, switch programs, etc. without difficulty. This Ozone is a USB 1 device and it works fine.
    When I change audio devices to the FF800, things don't work so fine. When used by themselves, Live or Guitar Rig2 work fine. But when used together in the same way I was running this with the Ozone, it becomes a complete software meltdown on my system. With both programs running, when I press play on Live, my computer comes to a complete screeching halt. I cannot switch applications, I can barely stop playback, I cannot even Force Quit on my system. Basically, I have to power off my system and reboot. In Live, the "Disk Overload" light comes on and stays on, which did not occur with the Ozone. Sound in Live is played back slow, with artifacts in the audio. Signal through Guitar Rig plays back choppy with artifacts.
    I tried several troubleshooting techniques. First, I tried raising the buffer in both programs which only helped slightly. I could sometimes get one or the other program to play back ok, not great... better than before but still not right. Even with huge buffers and extremely long latencies. Increasing or decreasing buffer sizes for either program did not work. The Ozone worked great with lower buffers, lower latencies, without disk overload at all, so I know it is not my project bogging down the system. One of the reasons I bought the FF800 after months of research was for its famous low latency and strong drivers compatibility with Macintosh. So therefore, I am completely perplexed as to why a USB 1 device on a $100 piece of crap like an M-Audio Ozone worked great, while the $1500 high end and otherwise wonderful FF800 using Firewire, a substantially larger pipeline than USB, would cause a massive meltdown. The only thing changed between the two tests were the audio card, which is where I was able to nail down the problem.
    Here are some other things I tried which did not give me results:
    Thinking that perhaps there was a compatibility issue with the FF800 driver and the Ozone driver, I completely uninstalled the Ozone and tried the FF800. Same problem.
    Thinking that perhaps Total Mix and the FF800 settings programs were using up valuable resources which may have bogged down my system more than the Ozone which does not use that software, I tried an experiment. I left the FF800 running and powered on my machine while setting the drivers for each program to M-Audio Ozone. That way Total Mix and FF800 audio settings boxes were open and running during a playback experiment. The system did not bog down! This leads me to believe that it is not a system resource issue and also is not a driver compatibility issue since the same problems occurred without the presence of the Ozone driver.
    So now I am stumped. Is my firewire port not giving enough power to the FF800? I tried using a different firewire cable that I know to be working and that changed nothing, same problems. Why on earth would the throughput of data work better with a USB1 device, then bog down with the superior or so I thought, Firewire connection? One of the reasons I bought the FF800 in the first place was because I expected it to take some of the load off the CPU with such a fantastic array of options on a very versatile unit. But now a $100 piece of crap by M-Audio is outperforming it. How is this possible?
    Sorry for the long email but I needed to explain that I do know how to troubleshoot and I have tried a great many things to get this to work and now I am stumped. Do you have any suggestions for me?
    My system specs are listed below:
    Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz, 1.25GB, OSX 10.4.8, FF800 driver v.2.60, built in graphics 64MB GeForce FX Go5200, Guitar Rig 2.2.1 v.6, Ableton Live 6.07.
    Thank you for any suggestions you may have,
    Shane Otis

    I get the feeling that Firewire as a data protocol has a much higher demand on CPU than USB1. That seems to make sense, I suppose. I tested a similar setup on a Mac Pro basically to test out the audio hardware and as expected, the MP didn't even break a sweat. I could have probably run about 20 other applications at the same time. That's really the only thing I can come up with because the FF800 worked just fine.
    That does seem really silly that an old M-Audio Ozone runs better on my Powerbook which isn't even really that old, it's the last of the PB series than the FF800. There's gotta be a way to squeeze more CPU power out of my PB. I'd probably have to go back to Panther for that though. Hmmmm...

  • How to set audio hardware input channels for narration & to what?

    Searched forum - hope I didn't miss solution for the following:
    Using PE3 in Windows XPSP3
    Tried for the first time to add narration to a project. Was using a stereo/microphone headset. Got nothing but noise. Could record in Windows recorder and Audacity. However, the microphone as part of the set would not work in Windows Audio Hardware Test Wizard. The set was using a sound chip on the motherboard.
    A friend of mine has the same OS, motherboard and is using PE3. He too had never tried adding narration - but tried with a USP connected set, and was successful.
    I removed my stereo set, and connected a USB set. To make sure all settings were reset, I did a cold reboot. The USB set worked in Windows Audio Test Wizard. I opened my project again, and in Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware, clicked AIIO Settings. Unchecked the old set (Realtek) in both the Output and Input Ports area, checked the USB Audio Device, moved to the top of both lists.
    Then tried to add narration and got the error message "Your current audio hardware selection does not have any input channels. Please use Preferences>Audio Hardware to correct this problem.
    Thinking that maybe this was a preset for the project and couldn't be changed, I started a new project, no video, just tried to add narration, and got the same message.
    The entries in the columns in the ASIO Direct Sound for Full Duplex Setup menu for the USB Audio Device in the Input section are: 2048, 0, 1, 16, Yes
    The only one of these that seems to be able to be adjusted is the second number - the Offset (Samples). The Audio Channels number is set to 1 and doesn't seem to be changeable. Suggestions?

    When working with Audio in most NLE's, i.e. Premiere Elements, or Pro, there are basically three areas that can affect how the Audio is handled on one's system. First, there is the Sound settings in Windows (from Control Panel). Next, the Audio card/chip probably/possibly has a console to make settings at the card/chip level. Last, and these are really two locations, but I'm only counting them as one since they are both in the NLE - Edit>Preferences>Audio & Audio Hardware. This is where Steve is referring to. Check all settings, and I'd suggest doing so in the order that I listed them above: OS, Audio card, then Premiere. A Mute, or by-pass in the first two, can override the settings in Premiere, and you may have its setting correct, but still not be able to effectively use your hardware.
    The exact settings chosen will depend on the exact hardware that is properly installed. Without knowing all of your hardware and other settings elsewhere, one cannot give you a definitive answer. Ideally, in the settings drop-downs, you *should* see your hardware listed. Look closely, as these can be a bit cryptic.
    If you are still unable to get your hardware working properly, a fourth place to look would be Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager for your Audio hardware. Check that Device Manager sees your hardware, and that it is working properly.
    If all is set up properly, but still not working, report back with exact specs on your system, including all of your Audio hardware. There are possibly some more steps that can be taken. I will not mention them now, as they *should not* be needed. If you do need further assistance, please list every option in all of the drop-down lists from Premiere, so we can know what your choices are.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    but it bother me because i love working in adobe product i don't want to record in any other software .
    Any advice ???
    Thank you

    See my reply in the other thread. Please don't double post as it is confusing to give answers. Unfortunately your picture doesn't show any helpful information to give us a clue as to what the problem is. A more helpful image would be of the same view but with the Input/output selection shown (rather than the fx view) by clicking on the double arrow icon to the left of the fx one which is selected at present.

  • IPOD 20Gb Clickwheel : Audio Hardware Test Failed

    My IPOD is working fine. But it is not playing music. On someones suggestion, I checked Hardware fuctioning and noticed that Audio Hardware is not working. Is there any wayout to correct it? OR I will have to send to company for repair.
    I checked every thing right from updating with latest version of software to restoring, but nothing worked.
    Is there any one who has faced similar problem?
    Thanks in anticipation..

    Thanks Bill for having come to my rescue.

  • Audio Rendering Problems

    Hello all,
    I searched through previous discussions about this, but couldn't find a solution that worked or that I hadn't already tried.
    I'm currently working on a class project to make a movie intro, and I want to put it to music from the film I am doing it on. When I RAM preview the video, I have no problems at all. However, when I render it, the audio does not play at all. I know about going into the output module to check the box for Audio Output. However, despite clicking it, the audio does not work at all when I render it, whether it be a quicktime or flv file.
    In my frustration to get this working, I've created a new project file with only the audio in it. I've tried turning up the decibals and turning up the volume on my system and speakers as high as they can go, still there's no audio.
    I'm still a failry new user to After affects, and this issue is driving me nuts. Would anyone have an idea of what the issue could be? Thanks.

    I am running on Mac OSX. I just tried rendering in audio only as a WAV file, but despite multiple attempts the WAV file will does not get created. I cleared my desktop of everything else and set the Output to there, but no WAV file gets created. There are no audio effects being used with this project. I re-imported my Audio into after affects, and the waveforms are there. I also imported the file the into Adobe Soundbooth, the waveforms showed, and I was able to save a Quicktime movie of it with working audio. When you ask "MP use perhaps?" I assume that means media player? I've been using quicktime thus far, and as said before the WAV files aren't even showing up, so I cannot say if that would be a problem for those. I tried closing all programs aside from the Media player for my rendered files, and still no sound. So it seems there isn't anything interfering with it.
    Posting some render logs with the settings I used to see if that helps.

  • Can't get Blue Snowball mic to appear on Audio Hardware selections in Premiere Pro CC

    I have attached a Blue Snowball Mic to my system (Mac) and when I go to use it for making voice overs in Premiere Pro CC the mic does not show up on my Audio Hardware menu under preferences, so I can't use it.  Strangely the mic works fine with Audible CC.  I did not discover any specific drivers online that would assist...not sure why there's a problem. Any ideas?
    System: 
    iMac late 2012,
    3.4 gHz Intel Core i7
    16gb Ram 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
    OS X 10.9

    Did you ever get your issue resolved? I had a CAD 37 usb mic that Premiere Pro CC wouldn't recognize. Then I got a Blue Yeti with the same result. My Imac recognized them both but Premiere Pro CC would not recognize. I have a 2013 Imac so I don't think it's a computer issue. When I had Premiere Pro 6.0 I didn't have a problem with microphones being recognized.

  • Audio Recording Problem - distorted

    Hey all,
    I got an audio recording problem here...
    When I try to record audio onto my project, the sounds is very poor and distorted. Plus, there is a pretty ugly delay. But when I use garageband, the sound is great and how it should be. So this makes me think that Logic has some sort of problem with my driver (Firebox) or somethin'.
    Here's my Setup
    -imac G5
    -Logic Pro 7.2 (Bought just a few days ago)
    -Presonus Firebox (audio interface)
    -Condensor Mic
    Cheers!

    Hi,
    It is possible that your FireBox is not the audio card set up in Logic, and that you are accidentally recording the built-in mic.
    If Garageband is seeing your FireBox corrctly, then it is the setup in Logic, and nothing else, that you should be looking at.
    Check your audio hardware and drivers.
    Cheers
