Getting audio using KONA LHE card

Hi,
currently running final cut 5.1.4 on mac pro. we have installed our KONA LHE card and have video from the mac and our sony HDV HVR MI5 deck displaying via the KONA onto our JVC monitorperfectly.
However when we try to connect the Kona audio to our mixing desk we get the sound through from the final cut timeline, but it is unusable, it isnt distorted but it is swamped by noise and intereference.
We have the HVR deck connected to the mixer with no problems, so it isnt a problem with the mixing desk. (Soundcraft Spirit E Series) So could it be a setting of the KONA? pretty sure phantom power was turned off, so hopefully ahvent fried anything!
Would we get any sound through if we had fried the audio part of the card with phantom power?

tried plugging them into the desks XLR mic connections
That's your problem. MIC connections. Not meant for balanced audio, only for MICS. I had the same problem. My first 4 XLR connections on my mixer are MIC inputs. They are designed to be phantom powered and to be HOT (loud), so any balanced audio from a deck or capture card will be too much for the inputs. YOu gotta use non-mic inputs.

  • Anyone here using Kona LHe card in PCIe G5?

    I just ordered a Kona LHe card and look forward to posting my experience with it on my Quad G5. A quick search of the forum didn't bring up much about the new PCI Express LHe version although I'm sure some of you are using it. I'm not immediately interested in the uncompressed workflow, but would like to get the best out of the DVCPro compression support.
    Please let me know if there are any major issues with setup, drivers, etc. that might save me some trouble.
    FYI, I'm using FCP Studio 5 with mixed DVCProHD 720 24P and DV-50 24P footage most of the time and hope to be able to "pulldown" the 24P footage live on output to tape.

    Thanks. The Creativecow forum is very helpful although few of the posts are about this particular card (it's brand new). I'll keep this forum updated of any issues as I test the unit.

  • Audio unsynced with video when capturing analog HD with Kona LHe card!

    Hey,
    This is kind of an emergency because i am in the process of logging a feature film. I am using the Kona LHe card to capture analog audio and video with the JVC BR-HD50 HDV deck. It is 720p24 HDV footage converted to analog DVCProHD 720p59.94 footage through the Kona. My issue is that the audio is about 4 or 5 seconds unsycned with the video...I am also getting some audio popping. The audio sounds fine when listening through the line mixer but it pops when i play back though FCP. I already contacted AJA (the makers of Kona) and they its a FCP problem...Any prompt help would be greatly appreciated...
    -JE

    Welcome to the forums!
    What version of FCP are you running? If you can, get to the most current version as this solves a lot of issues with the DVCPRO HD codec.
    And have you read this whitepaper?

  • Recording VO in Premier using Kona 3 card

    I recently have switched to Premier from FCP 7.  I'm trying for the first time to record VO through my Kona card and have not so far had success.  In Adobe help I followed the instructions for recording VO.  I select the Kona 3 card for hardware, activate a track by selecting the microphone Icon; when I have meter only selected I see audio levels in the track, but not in the master.  I deselect meter only, press the record button and the play button and the cursor begins moving.  i speak a test into the mic, then select stop and I have nothing.  No track on the timeline, nothing in my scratch disc and nothing in my files.
    the mic input seems to be working in the test when I have meters only selected, but nothing happens when I deselect it.
    I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I sure can't see what it is.  the mic input is digital, plugged into my Kona board, I have AES digital selected in the Kona control panel and I see levels when I test with the meter only setting.
    Spoke with AJA and they are also trying to figure out the issue.
    Any ideas?
    thx...Jim Watt

    I believe the only I/O devices that will function as a standalone audio device as well are the Motu devices. All of the others require a video signal to pass for audio to pass through.

  • WVC210 - How Do I get Audio using Safari

    I have read all the posts that say audio is not supported in Safari.  I believe the primary reason is MPEG4 is not used with the Safari browser.  However, I have seen competing products that support audio in Safari browser, so there must be a way to do it.
    I'm trying to get the audio in my iphone 4.  Can anyone guide me in the right direction?  Is there a third party application that will stream the MPEG4 video with audio?  It is not possible is not an answer.

    Hello community,
    I would like to provide an update for those of you with Android devices connecting to the WVC210. The application IP Cam Viewer now supports listen only audio for these cameras. (Paid version only, $4.99 as of today) I have tested it with the WVC210 and it does work. I did have to lower the MJPEG video size and quality in order to get clear audio on my phone. It also appears that the application utilizes the MPEG4 stream when you don't have audio enabled and MJPEG when you do. So far I have not had any luck streaming audio from the PVC2300 camera. If you have an iPhone and get a chance to try IP Camera Viewer, please post and let us know if it works.

  • RS 422  switch box and Kona LHe card??

    Just received and installed this card. I have three decks that use RS 422 control and the Kona card only has one. Is it O.K. to use a switching box to switch between decks for RS 422 control. I have a 4 port RS 422 switch box that I used on an old system and seems like it would work.
    Thanks
    John

    Using the switch should be fine, particularly as it worked in your previos set up.

  • Fans Running Fast And Loud With Kona LHe Card Installed?

    Hi,
    I have a Power Mac G5 Quad, and it makes noise with fan kicking on after it goes to the sleep mode? I took all the 3rd hardware off it, memory, drives and etc. The LHe Kona I have installed and when my quad is put on the "sleep" mode the fans kick on?, but when I move my mouse it stops? Anyone of you guy have this problem?
    Thank you Tim C.
    I posted this in Power Mac Disscusion too.

    Hi
    Cool thank for the info, now I know I am not alone, hmmm tried taking out all the hardware added hardware too, made it stop, as I tested each area, drive, memory, Kona card, etc, just going to bite the bullet, dont know what else to do, contacted support, no answers hmmm T.

  • Cannot get audio using certain apps

  • Use of the card under Vis

    I've been doing a lot of reading about the changes that were made to how audio is processed under Vista as opposed to earlier versions of Windows and from what I understand, all audio decoding is done via software and the sound card does, well, essentially nothing as far as audio processing is concerned.
    I get audio from my sound card to speakers using a coaxial SPDIF connector and so, again, all decoding is done externally through the use of the receiver for my speakers. Where in all this does the sound card come in and what advantage would a Creative card such as the Audigy2 ZS Platinum which I am using, (if any) have over my cheap on-board Realtek AC97' sound card? As far as I can tell, the card does no processing whatsoever and digital data is digital data; you can't screw it up.Message Edited by mrps2man on 04-3-200707:2 AM

    Ah okay, well presumably the sound card could still apply affects to the digital stream, although it may have to convert from digital to analog, apply the effects in the analog domain, and then reconvert back to digital before forward it to your receiver. Let me give a practical example.
    The thing is it's complicated. Let me give a practical example. Suppose you start with an MP3 audio file played via say ITunes. ITunes may do it's own MP3 stream parsing, and analog audio reconstruction, applying it's own filters, equalizers, etc. This is all done in software and not new to Vista. But at some point ITunes has to create a new digital stream in a format that is compatible with the Windows APIs. No sound card has been involved so far.
    Where would the sound card come into play then? Well if you have an analog receiver, then of course the sound card has to convert the digital stream received Windows APIs to analog, and out it's analog am
    ps.
    What about if you have Dolby Digital or DTS receiver? Then the sound card, or software (running either in the driver or via some accelerator like a processor on the sound card) has to real time convert the multiple digital streams received via the Windows APIs into a Dolby Digital or DTS digital stream.
    The point is there are many conversions of the digital data, but at some point the sound card driver receives these digital streams from all channels. At this point the sound card driver or driver+hardware can apply it's own effects (like the crystalizer and cmss) or convert multiple channels into 2 (e.g., using a head related transfer function, aka HRTF, to simulate multiple channels with 2 or 3), equalize, and after all of that, either send the digital data to it's onboard DACs or re-digitize the modified data (e.g., into a Dolby Digital stream, DTS stream etc.).
    Things are more complicated still though when it comes to the DRE stuff. It's not clear to me if a sound card driver is allowed to modified the data, or record it, but that's by agreement, there is no technical reason why the sound card couldn't, just they won't in order to be DRE compliant.
    Anyway I realize that's a long and obstuse answer, but the bottom line is that digital data in a computer already typically goes through various digital to analog and analog to digital conversions in software, or re-digitization in software. The sound card is just the final step along the way to your analog speakers, or if you have a receiver that has DTS or Dolby Decoding, the sound card can re-digitize in those formats after applying it's own effects.

  • Continuing audio issues using Kona card

    MAC PRO 2 x 2.93 GHz 6 Core
    12 GB 1333 MJZ DDR3 Ram
    Kona 3 card
    Kona driver 10.3.1
    Adobe utilities for Kona 10.3.0
    Quadro 4000 graphics card
    Video drive Apple XServe raid
    plus 2 TB G-raid & 3, 2 TB internal 7200 RPM drives
    OS 10.7.4
    CS6.0.1.31
    So I've been dealing with this issue since I downloded and started using the Kona 3 drivers with PPCS6.0.1
    Often when I start my computer after shutting down the night before and restart premier in the same project I left that was working fine.  I get broken audio in playback.  When I check my computer system audio in and out preferences they have mysteriously switched back to Kona, which is what is causing the problem. 
    I attempt to switch them back to line in and line out, close preferneces and then reopen and that switch has not taken and they're back to Kona.
    I repair permissions and restart and make the change again...sometimes when I do this I get a Kernal panic, so need to shut down and start again.  Someties this will fix the issue for today, sometimes not.  Today after the kernal panic, everything seems to be working properly.
    This is a little anoying and is a 15 to 20 minute excercise each morning.  Sure I could leave my machine on all night, but I'd sure appreciate anyone's ideas on how to solve this continuing issue.
    I turned in a bug report today, since I believe it is indeed a bug somewhere.
    Thx...Jim Watt

    I found a post in the apple forum that solved this issue...
    If you are having problems with your "default output" sound in Snow Leopard, try the following...
    Go to your hard drive (root level), and open the Library folder. Then open the Preferences folder, and open the Audio folder.
    Delete the two preference files contained in the Audio folder:
    - com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
    - com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
    Reboot your mac, and hopefully your problems will be solved.
    This solution worked for me, and hopefully it will for you too.

  • I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?

    I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?
    The firewire port reads the dj software and I can hear music playing through the sound card when I plug my headphones into it but there is no signal to the hardware (my dj mixer).
    I have reset the firewire by turning off my mac book pro for a few hours and can see the sound card device in the fire wire section after clicking on the apple icon on the top left corner of my mac.
    My dj mixer works on another mac computer with the same soundcard and different firewire cable.
    Hope someone can help
    Thanks

    kmiddlet88,
    yes, it could be due to nearly anything listed in your kernel extensions, startup items, launch daemons, launch agents, or user items above. Please check all of your installed third-party software to make sure that the versions which are installed on your MacBook Pro are compatible with Mavericks; uninstall every software package which isn’t Mavericks-compatible. After you’ve done that, boot into Safe mode, and see if you still get the beach ball of doom there. If it doesn’t appear there, restart normally and see if it appears then.

    Just saw your thread, and it looked like a candidate for the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce Roll Back the Driver issue. If your computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card, then the following applies to you. You do not want to update the driver. Rather you want to roll back the driver version, probably to about May 2013. For your convenience I have done a copy/paste of the forum announcement which gives all the details and fix of the matter.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
    Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
    http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
    A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for the driver roll back can be found
    http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
    This matter has been very specific to the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce card user. So, if your computer is using other than a NVIDIA GeForce card, it is likely that the message does not apply to you, and we can then explore other troubleshooting possibities.
    Looking forward to your follow up. Do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything written here.
    Thanks.

    How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.
    I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
    I get video every time.  HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
    just no audio.  Any suggestions? 
    I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
    I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

    Claudiamil-
    I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did.  I'm using a small Vizio HDTV.  I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers.  In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
    I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down.  Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.
