Getting Director to output audio to specified device

Is there a way to program which device that Director based
audio will port
out to? Let's say the user has two different audio cards and
I want to give
the user a choice which device they want to hear the audio
on... is that
possible? I know there are probably Xtras out there (I am
sure not d11
compat) that will READ audio devices on the machine... but
what about
setting it?
ANY guidence would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
The second line of your mathscript is actually performing the waveform generation for you. If you change the output type of b to a 1D array of double, you can wire this directly to the output sound VI. Choosing to have b output as a string causes MathScript to convert the first element of the array (0, in this case) to a character. The ASCII character for 0 is a null character. Consequently, the Formula Waveform VI doesn't have anything to work with.

Firefox would not load Yahoo home page properly, checked add ons and plugins-no problem. So unistalled. When reinstalling, went through until the end, then I get:

HT204400 I get no audio from this device. All my HDMI ports are in use with the cable box, DVR and receiver . My digital optical cable is also in use to the receiver. Is there a solution?

I cannot get audio using this device all my HDMI ports are in use as well as my digital optical cable. Any solutions?

How exactly is the ATV connected if all HDMI ports are in use?
If connected directly to the TV, then audio is being sent to the TV speakers, not the receiver.

Macbook OS X Yosemite - Logitech headset output audio not working with Rosetta Stone

So I got my macbook air 2014 with Yosemite software and I installed Rosetta Stone and I couldn't get the Logitech Headset (H540) to get the output audio through it. The software will accept the microphone audio, but it will send the output audio throughout the internal speakers of my macbook air, or even worse, it will freeze the program until I disconnected the headset (as soon as I unplugged it from the usb, the software will continue like a nothing was going on).
So I look in dozens of webpages trying to find a solution, but I there was none. I read that for some people creating a "multi-output device" in audio midi resolved the issue, but for most people including myself, it didn't work.
So after trying different options in the Audio MIDI setups, I found the solution!! : If you change the "format" from the default 16000.00 Hz to one higher, it will work like a charm! Now everything is working perfectly for me, including the main reason of this research: Rosetta Stone program.
I hope this post helps and saves a lot of time to any of you having this same problem.
If any other questions (or thanks ) reply to this post.

This is great! I've got one follow-on problem to this, though: My format rate seems to keep snapping back to 16000, and breaking until I go back and fix it again (32000 works fine for me). Any idea how to twiddle things so that 32000 is the default for my device?

Self Test Error -50002, The specified device is not a valid device.

I'm just an IT guy that knows nothing about Labview or DAQ cards that has been given the task of setting up a lab.
System is Dell GX280 with Windows XP SP-2. The DAQ card being used is a NI PCI-6251. The software used is Labview 7.11 and NI-DAQ 7.4.
Labview loads the professor's VI files as expected but when you start the vi it returns the following error.
Error -200157 occurred at the Traditional NI-DAQ Compatibility VI:AI Group Config.vi-> DAQmx Create Channel(AT-Voltage-Basic).vi
Also when you enter the Measurement and Automation application and browse to the device and execute a self-test it returns the following error.
Error -50002 occurred at Self Test
Possible Reason(s):
The specified device is not a valid device. The Operation could be completed as specified.
My question is are these errors because there are no devices connected to the DAQ? The professor claims that if nothing is connected it should still function properly. So now I'm trying to figure out what is wrong and the professor is not the friendliest in the world. I have tried reinstalling Labview and NI-Daq several times now and no luck using two separate computers. I would appreciate any assistance.

Hi Rice IT,
Since you are new to using this whole DAQ thing, then I'll start with just the basics.
Make sure you have no NI Devices in your computer (if you do, remove them then begin).
Install LabVIEW.
Install the latest DAQ drivers for your system (for you it's NI-DAQmx Version 7.5 for Windows 2000/NT/XP).
Power down the computer and insert your DAQ board.
When Windows boots you should see the New Device Wizard. Have it search for and install the drivers.
Open Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) to test the device (Start > All Programs > National Instruments)
Go to My System > Devices and Interfaces > NI-DAQmx Devices, you should see your DAQ device.
Right-click on your device and click Self-Test. If the device passes it should be ready to use
If that causes an error right-click on the device and Reset Device.
Redo Step 8 and perform a Self-Test of the device
If the Self-Test still does not work, then the board could be
broken. Try to place the board in a different PCI slot, if other
boards are available then try to use a known working board in your
system. If you still have trouble contact Technical Support.
Now your device should be working. You can try to run a Test Panel and look at how your device performs.
You could also right click on Data Neighborhood in MAX and
Create New... DAQmx Task and try to make a more customized measurement.
Finally you can open an example in LabVIEW
Open LabVIEW > Open > Examples (or Help > Find
Examples) > Browse > Hardware Input and Output > DAQmx.
Choose an example that is similar to what type of operation you are
trying to perform.
Typically you will want to start with an example and then
build up from there. If not, then you will want to take a look at
this KB
If you run into any problems, first read thru what the error message is
and where it occurs. If that can't help you isolate the error,
then try searching ni.com for more information. If you can't find
anything there, then check the forums to see if somebody else has had a
similar fate. Finally if you cannot find any more information
contact NI's Technical Support.
Here are a few more resources that might help you with some of the basics:
Introduction to Data Acquisition
Learn 10 Functions in NI-DAQmx and Solve 80% of
Data Acquisition Applications
NI DAQmx FAQ
I hope you are able to get a better bearing of where you need to go from this information.

Print to Video Error msg: audio and vide devices may not match

When I attempt to print to video (using a Sony DV deck that has werved me well for years) I receive the message:
"The selected audio and video devices may not match:
-Apple FireWire NTSC (720 X 480)
Please verify that the audio and video outputs are externally routed to the intended device(s).
Do you want to proceed?"
I tried proceeding, and the video images output to the tape but without a sound track.
What to do? I must deliver a tape to my client!
I recently did a software update to 10.4.6. Could that be part of the problem?
Of did some setting change somewhere without my knowing it, and I need to reset it, if so what?
Thanks in advance

Hello!
Thank you for this. I did check the audio playback settings and it was NOT set to audio follows video. I then CHANGED it as you have kindly instructed. The audio video settings box you mention was NOT checked, so I didn't need to do anything there.
I then tried o launch Print to Video (not Edit to Tape) and sadly, the same error message occurred. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
I am running FCP 4.5, recently upgraded to OS 10.4.6
Thanks in advance.
Hey Pamela,
Have you been monitoring externally this whole time?
If you have, and you've been getting external audio
and video, then this is probably a case of a
setting being off somewhere.
First, check your View > Audio Playback
setting. It should be set to Audio follows
Video.
Second, press Option-Command-Q to bring up the
Audio/Video Settings dialog. Click on the right-most
tab (A/V Devices) then confirm that the box for 'Use
Different output for Edit To Tape/Print To Video' is
not checked.
And please confirm that you're doing a Print to Video
and not an Edit To Tape. I ask because the only time
that I can remember getting this message is when I've
tried to do an Edit To Tape and didn't drag the
correct sequence from the browser (if I remember
correctly, I accidently dragged a sequence that was
also open in timeline).

Selected audio and video devices may not match

Hello - I was able to Print to Video w/no problem, from my Mac Book Pro, to my Panasonic PV-GS320 w/no problem. Now, all of a sudden, when trying to do this, I get this msg.:
'The selected audio and video devices may not match. Please verify that the a/v outputs are externally routed to the intended device(s).'
Not sure what happened, or what changed, but here is my setup:
Sequence & Capture Presets are both: DV NTSC 48 kHz
Device control preset: FireWire Basic
Video Playback: Apple Firewire NYSC (720 x 480)
Audio Playback: Default
Like I said, I don't know what got changed, but, it was working before - hope someone can help, thanks so much!!
Kristina

I think I found the problem...I had forgotten to switch my Device Control Preset back to FireWire, from the previous non-controllable - thanks so much!

Output audio to multiple 24" LED Displays?

Just purchased 3 24" LED Cinema Displays and a 2009 Mac Pro, and I'm wondering if there is a way/hack to get audio output to go to all 3 displays? I read somewhere about creating an Aggregate Device with "Audio MIDI Setup" app, but no luck, (unless I did it wrong).
Any thoughts, ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank!

Ok... after figuring out, and setting up an Aggregate Device, I got all 3 Displays to output audio. One drawback... no Master volume control. I can control iTunes volume, but I would like to have a master volume control.
Any ideas?

IPhone 4 Won't Output Audio, No Airplay

My iPhone4 (OS 7.1.2) works fine, but has essentially become a brick to external devices. Music will not play through headphones, the phone no longer outputs audio to my car stereo via USB or Bluetooth, and the AirPlay icon has disappeared from the video player (yes, my Apple TV is on the same wi-fi connection). In my car, the USB screen says "Unreadable" and the Bluetooth screen doesn't even acknowledge my phone (which is discoverable).
All of this started happening under curious circumstances. Up until a few weeks ago, my phone's loudspeaker hadn't been working for a while. The ringtone worked, but no other audio worked. It was like the phone thought I had headphones plugged in. All of a sudden, the loudspeaker started working--I have no idea why--and at that time, I started experiencing the problem I'm describing here.
They sure seem related. Any tips from the community?

Okay - other things I would try is different USB cables and restoring on another computer if possible.
If no joy with either of those, make an appointment at an Apple store near you and bring it in to be evaluated. It may have a hardware problem and will need to be replaced.

Macbook Pro 15-inch (Retina Display) HDMI doesn't output audio to TV

My rMBP's HDMI port doesn't output audio through the HDMI cable to my TV. Instead, the audio plays on the laptop's speakers. I know the problem is not the HDMI cable nor the TV because my TV speakers play sound when I connect my Windows laptop via the same HDMI cable and TV jack.
Anybody know a fix?

I have this exact same problem, I have gone to preferences, ans selected the output as HDMI and nothing happened. Later I went to Utilities, Audio MIDI Setup and tried to select different options to get the sound working and nothing, the volume for the HDMI was grey, disactivated, all the time. Any new findings lately? I have my computer fully updated.
