Griffin iMic fixed audio with callmanager 5.0

Has anyone had any luck getting the Griffin iMic USB fixed audio adapter working with CallManager 5.0 linux? Do I need to load any special drivers on the server?

I went through the Griffin iMic issue a month ago for an existing CCM 4.1 deployment.
After seeing on Griffin's website that their iMic is/was only certified for Windows XP and Mac OSX, I contacted their tech support. Below is their response to the Cisco MoH URL.
"That page is a Cisco document, not a Griffin document. We have never claimed compatibility with that system on our website or in any of our documentation. We have contacted Cisco a number of times asking them to remove the document because it has not been authorized by our company. If Cisco says they support it, then perhaps try contacting them, but we do not support the use of iMic in any other systems than Mac OSX and Windows XP SP 2."
I contacted the TAC and was given the same information that was found in the MoH documentation. No clarification.
I then contacted Cisco's PDI help desk and received the below responses.
Initial response: "The iMic cards that were supported are no longer in production. If you were able to get an older iMic card that supported Windows 2000, it will work with on the CallManager 3.3 servers, and will be supported by Cisco TAC. But the newer iMic2 cards are not supported."
Final response: "Since those cards are no longer available, we do not have a supported sound card for CallManager 4.x. I'm not sure if this is a valid option for you or not, but in a few weeks Cisco will have it's own sound card for CallManager 5.0, you could upgrade your CallManager."
Hope this helps,

Griffin iMic output problems with iTunes

I bought an Griffin iMic so that I could listen to my iTunes library through my home stereo. However, I am having problems with the output. I have tried several different ways of connecting the iMic to my stereo, but I am not getting any sound output. It SHOULD work but it is not. Are there any known problems with iTunes and iMic and Max OS X 10.2.8?

I got this message from Griffin Technology
Technical Support, and it seemed to help with my sound quality output, even though it talks more about sound input.
Hello,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
First, let's make sure you're getting an input signal.
The easiest way to make sure that you're receiving an input signal
from the iMic is to go to your System Preferences/Sound Preferences.
Click on the INPUT tab and select iMic from the list of devices.
Below the list of devices is a Input Volume slider and a virtual
input meter. If you're seeing those lights move, there is a signal
coming into the device. The Input Volume slider is there to boost
up or help drop the amount of signal needed. A good signal should
stay somewhere around the middle of those meter lights.
Then click on output and be sure you have "built-in audio" selected.
Then you will have to either open Final Vinyl and select "preview"
to hear the audio come through your speakers.
Also check your Audio/MIDI Setup. Open your Applications folder
from the Finder, and scroll through the applications, down to
"Utilities." Select that, and then choose "Audio/Midi." From here,
set the "Properties For" or "Settings For" to iMic USB Audio System.
Then set both the input and the output to 16bit 2 channel 44100Hz.
Hope this helps,

Setting Input Level with Griffin iMic

I'm trying to digitize an audio cassette with Soundtrack Pro. My setup includes a Griffin iMic that goes to a USB port. The trouble I'm having is in controlling the input volume. The level meters indicate clipping, but I'm not clear how to set the input level.
If it's in the Recording tab (>Input) with the Gain slider, mine is greyed out.

M Wohlgy,
(I know this is months after your post.)
Control of the iMic volume is in the Preferences pane called "Sound". You can set the output and the input levels there.
Remember the iMic's position switch works only for the imput, either close to the microphone icon for "microphone" or away from it for "line in".
I use the iMic exclusively.

Recording line-level input with Griffin iMic

I'm having trouble recording line-level input from a stereo system with a Griffin iMic. Even though all extraneous inputs have been deactivated, I'm still getting a slight feedback hum. There should be no extraneous noise whatsoever. I haven't done this in quite a while, so I've forgotten what I must do. Any help is apprreciated. Thanks very much. Peace,

MOH Fixed Audio-Recognizing MOH-USB-Audio on 7835

I am trying to set up a Cisco MOH-USB-Audio card (which is actually a C-Media UTA3100).
On a MCS7825 with OS 2000.4.4aSR8 this is no problem.With a MCS7835 and same OS it doesn't work.
It displays the card in Hardware-Device manager.
But in Control Panel-Sounds&Multimedia-Audio-Sound Recording-Preferred Device I get no recording Devices.
So it seems to be platform dependant.
Does anyone have an idea how to get it to work on the MCS7835 ?

Keyboard line out and griffin imic incompatibility?

I'm getting horrible background noise when I try to record my keyboard (Yamaha PSR-225GM ) headphone line out through my Griffin iMic into Garageband. I assume it's a level issue but even the keyboard volume control won't fix the problem nor will system settings for the input device. My Sony stereo mic into the same iMic input sounds fine. Headphones attached to the keyboard line out sound fine too so I don't believe it's a quality problem with the line out. Can one not use a headphone output into the Griffin iMic?
If not, anyone got suggestions for higher quality audio input into the iMic flat panel (e.g. some USB box) that's compatible with various audio equipment (mics, keyboards, guitar amps, 1/4" and 1/8" and RCA plugs etc.)? The iMic has served me fine, but maybe it's time to start looking for something higher quality, and more versatile. Thanks.
By the way, anyone know why sometimes there's a delay (half second or so) between audio in and the monitors in Garageband, and sometimes not? It makes performance nearly impossible when there's such a big delay.

tell me if I'm on the right track on the
following theories (I don't know if the following are TRUE):
I'll do the best I can...
1) The quater-inch headphone output from the Yamaha
keyboard is neither "balanced"
Correct, the headphone-out is not balanced. A balanced output uses 3 wires, a graound, a hot, and another hot that's 180° out of phase with the first. This is a neat trick in that two signals 180° out of phase with each other cancel each other out sp you get zero signal. In the case of a balanced out if noise is introduced, it is in phase on both cables. On the other end when the signal on the out of phase wire has its phase flipped, your original signal is now in phase on both legs, and the noise is 180° out of phase with itself, and thus is canceled out.
nor impedance matched
to the Griffin iMic.
The impedance is not a problem here. As I understand it, the headphone-out is High Impedance, and so is the iMic's In.
(I'm using a 1/4" to 2.5 mm
converter cable). I am possibly getting radio
interference (I DID get a local radio station when I
touched the plug right!!) and degrading the signal
because of these two issues.
Possible. A Low quality cable and or adaptor could offer an entry point for noise.
2) It may be necessary to put the signal from my
keyboard's headphone jack into a DI (direct box) to
get impedance matched to mixer levels - the levels I
assume the Griffin iMic expects.
No, this shouldn't be true. A headphone-out is actually much hotter than a Line-In, so the level should be able to offer more than enough signal, and the impedance is matched.
3) I'm HOPING that a high quality audio-to-USB (or
firewire) input box can perform the job of the direct
box.
It could, but the weak point I see is that you're stuck using a headphone-out instead of a Line-Out. I don't think a DI box is going to help any in comparison.
Hmmm, I just glanced at your computer list. Doesn't the iMac have a Line-In jack? Have you tried skipping the iMic and going straight into the iMac?
Finally, if anyone can give me the list of equipment
in order from a keyboard to Garageband
I think it could be Keyboard -> Mac
Other combinations would just be sticking an interface between the two (Keyboard->interface->Mac)

System Profiler see Griffin iMic, but Sound Prefs Does not

I have 3 Griffin iMics - 2 new white ones and 1 old silver one. All 3 iMics are recognised by my late-2009 iMac 27" i7 running Snow Leopard (10.6.5). However, NONE of these 3 iMics are working on my mid-2009 MacBook Pro 15" 2.8GHz also running Snow Leopard (10.6.5)!
If I plug any of these iMics into the MacBook Pro, the System Profiler lists them in the USB section, but the Sound preferences does not list them under either the Input or Output tab. When I contacted Griffin about this they suggested it was a fault with my MacBook Pro. However, if I plug-in either of 2 different model Logitech USB headsets (with boom mics), they both appear in the Input/Output tabs of the Sound preferences. So it doesn't seem correct to blame the MacBook Pro for this. But obviously something is wrong!!
Anyone got any ideas about what's wrong with the iMics and my MacBook Pro and how to fix it?

Hi mooblie, thanks for checking yes.
No, Disk Utility does NOT see the disks. And yes, I've checked the preferences in Finder, and I have ticked it so that it shows external drives.
Further, the Toshiba has "come back to life" (is now recognized), and so just the Maxtor is a problem (which was a problem which as memory serves immediately predated the blue screen/gray screen drama.)
The Maxtor is not seen on the desktop/finder on my wife's (brand new) Macbook Pro, but is seen in her system profiler as well, BTW.
So I would think it's just a problem with the drive (which sadly houses my iTunes collection), except for the brief lack of recognition of the TOshiba; and the fact that it seems my printer (also running in via USB) is only sporadically being recognized (had a few "printer is offline" when it was plugged in via USB and also to the wall (electric.))
FWIW, the TOshiba has no external power, just USB, so has to go directly to the back of the Mini, it was never recognized when I tried to hook it in via a USB hub I have ... the Maxtor (problem drive) has external (AC) power, and that is all hooked up.
WHile trying to fix the blue screen, I followed various fixes including unplugging everything and holding down the Power button, starting up while holding "shift", holding "c", etc., etc. ...
Any further insight greatly appreciated!!!

Griffin iMic USB vs. ADS Tech Instant Music for Vinyl Recording

This is a repost, I posted in OSX accidentally. Sorry! Anyway, can anyone advise me, I am new at this... I just bought an Audio-Technica AT-PL120 Direct Drive Turntable (on its way to me) so I can transfer old LP's to my Macbook Pro for iPod and CD listening. It has a selectable internal stereo phono preamplifier and the ability to choose from phono or line-level output. Now, to get the sound INTO my Macbook pro, should I go with the Griffin iMic USB or the ADS Tech Instant Music for Vinyl Recording? Also, anyone heard of THIS device and do I even need it?

I think you probably have everything you need except for appropriate audio recording software. For example, your MacBook Pro probably has an audio input jack that can be set to line level. If that is the case, then all you need is a cable from the turntable (set at line level) to the MacBook's audio in (plus the recording software).
However, a quick websearch on the ADS thingy found a review which should help you.
http://www.macnn.com/reviews/review.php?id=164
Based on that, the ADS thing may be worth it just in terms of making it easier for you, even if you don't, strictly speaking, need it. It appears to include recording software called CD Spin Doctor. I'm not too fond if CD Spin Doctor, but it will get get the job done. I like Amadeus for audio recording.
The review may also provide you with sufficient explanation on how to do the whole process.

Griffin iMic

I have an Griffin imic plugged into my mac-mini (OS 10.4). It works fine with speakers but I can’t get a microphone to work with it. The microphone works fine on any PC I have but not on the Mac through imic. I do see the imic fine on Sound control panel, but sound just won’t record.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

Do you have the slide switch on the correct setting? It's counter-intuitive to what you think it should be on the original (silver) iMic; the position for the microphone is away from the microphone input.
Hope this helps.

Is imic 2 compatable with Lion?

Hi. I have the new MBP with retina and am looking at an imic 2 from Griffin Tech fo a USB streo audio input. At Griffen it does not list Lion in the OS's for iMic 2. Does anyone konw whether iMic 2 works with Lion on the New MBP with retina?

Yes, Silverlight is compatible with Mac OS 10.5.7 and beyond. Here's their website for more details on compatibility and usage: http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx

Final Cut Express won't capture audio with the video anymore, why?

I have used Final Cut Express 4 for over a year now with no problems, but recently I am unable to capture any audio with the video from my camera. I can do it through iMovie no problem. I can't figure out if I changed a setting by accident because everything looks normal to me. Could another program be interfering with this? Quicktime Pro? I have no idea how to fix this.

First of all, we need a bunch of information in order to help. Please provide the specs of the footage and the sequence you are using. Also, are you using DV, HDV, or AVCHD? Do you hear audio when the clip is played in the viewer, or is there no audio at all once the clip is captured/ingested?

No audio with MLS Direct Kick package

For some reason, there's is no audio with the MLS Direct Kick package tonight. After spending a fruitless hour on the phone with Fios tech support, their only solution was to dispatch a technician to my house which didn't make any sense to me since they had me reset both of my boxes to see if that would fix the problem.
Anyone else experience this problem?
