HELP!! No sound while recording thrugh M-Audio firewire 410

I am using Logic express 7 with an M-Audio firewire 410. I have my guitar plugged into the mbox and Logic is picking up the signal from my guitar, but I cannot monitor the sound while recording OR hear anything else at all. When I unplug the mbox, however, I can hear everything that i just recorded along with everything else in the song fine. I just need some help figuring out how to monitor the sound, PLEASE!!!!

Logic always uses the same audio interface for input AND output, so I suppose your problem is that you do not have any speakers connected to you M-Audio interface. Try adding a pair of speakers to it. If there's still no sound, go to Logic's audio settings and see if "software monitoring" is active or not.

  • No sound while recording or viewing satalite

     ;( could someone please explain to me why i have no sound while recording or playing back recorded tv.i have g4 mx440 video card and tuner card.i'm not sure if i am hooking up connections properly in back of comp.need help.thank you ?(

    In order to hear sound as you record, you either need to use direct monitoring on your interface (ie, route it's inputs directly to its output), or turn Software Monitoring ON in Logic (Logic -> Preferences -> Audio Hardware & Drivers) - this lets you hear your inputs while recording.

  • Sound while recording with audigy 2 zs plati

    i have the audigy 2 zs platinum. i'm using the /4" line in 2/mic in 2 to plug my guitar into. i can hear the guitar fine until i hit the record button on my software. it records what i'm playing, and will play it back with sound, but, again, no sound while recording. i also noticed there's no "li've" sound during playback. i've checked connections, and installed the latest drivers for the card. i'm using adobe audition 2.0 to record. please help!

    Sure. Selecting "Line 2" records the signal just after it has entered the main CL chip, and selecting "What you hear" records the signal after it has been through the mixer/effects DSP in that chip. It's likely that CL lowers the volume a notch to reduce the chance of clipping from mixing/effects processing. Note that the signals at that point are 32-bit, so that some additional headroom really doesn't lose you anything; all you need to do is to raise the recording volume a bit to compensate.
    The card's unity settings are designed for 50% on the recording slider and 00% elsewhere (i.e. there is a 2x digital multiplier on the recording slider). You may get some useful insights from a page I have: <a href=http://pages.sbcglobal.net/hamakerd/sbsrc/ target=_blank>http://pages.sbcglobal.net/hamakerd/sbsrc/[/url] by following the Additional Information link at the bottom, and seeing my comments (under the General heading) about how I determined the recording volume settings I used in that testing.

  • Rookie needs help recording DJ set through M-audio Firewire 410

    Ok.... ive been reading through the forums and I still can't find help...
    Im running GB 3 that came with my Macbook I bought about 4 months ago.
    I am a DJ and I trying to record a DJ set/demo.
    What I use to DJ is Pioneer cdj-800 x2 and a Pioneer DJM400 using Rane Serato Scratch through my Mac.
    I recently bought an M-Audio Firewire 410.
    I installed all necessary drivers from m-audio's website (i bought it on ebay so it did not come with the install cd).
    I connect the Maudio into the Mac as instructed and set all my inputs/outputs in prefs to the m audio.
    The record out of my mixer is via rca so i bought an rca to 1/4" cable. The rca going into my mixer and the 1/4" is going into the first "mic/inst" on the interface.
    I created a real instrument track on a new project in GB and set the input to channel 1 (mono).
    I play a track..... no sound. nothing at all. i tried the inputs in the back of the firwire and played with the gains. still nothing. i am getting a little frustrated here as you can imagine.
    I would really appreciate if someone could walk me through this or at least point me in the right direction.
    Thanks a ton in advance.

    Perhaps you may need to reinstall the driver again from the M-audio website. The newest drivers don't work well but if you're running the newest OSX 10.4.10 then you have no choice but to use the newest drivers. When installing the new driver, do not have the 410 hooked up to the computer. After it is installed, shut down the computer. Hook up the 410, then turn the computer on, make sure teh 410 is power button is on as well. Once you're computer is up and running, open up the m-audio mixer application that comes with the driver. on the top right-hand corner is a reset button. Click that and a there will be a popup asking if you want to reset, say reset. Next open up system preferences and check the sound. Select the 410 for input and output. You have to also do this again in garagebands prefs. Test your audio out by playing a song through itunes or something. Hope it works.

    Hi,
    Back from my "rescue mission" ...
    Firstable, to answer the last post, yes I tried on different computers but it was windows PC.
    Anyway, I tried ...older drivers (1.8/1.7/1.7.2) ...not working.
    I tried to close airport (not bluetooth cause my mouse use it) ...not working.
    So I decided to buy and install Leopard ...and it's working great.
    In fact, after some research my problem was a frequency problem who came from a disfunction between my card and my mac. But why this problem ...because of apple !!!
    Yes It seems the last security update 2008-002 from apple can not be "trusted"
    Bring a lot of problem ...as mine.
    So maybe I bought leopard for nothing ...but is great too so I'm ok
    Thx again for all your ideas.
    See u.

  • Help! Trouble with M-Audio Firewire 410 MIDI Compatability

    I am currently working on an iMac running OSX 10.4.11. I have been unsuccessful in trying to use a Yamaha P-70 keyboard, running through my M-Audio Firewire 410 using the MIDI input to record MIDI sounds in Garageband. I have had great success with this in the past before this version of iLife with the Garageband updates. My computer recognizes I have a MIDI device, and I have changed the proper settings both on the control panel and within Garageband to reading the M-Audio Firewire 410, yet I am not getting any signal from the keyboard as a MIDI instrument and therefore cannot record any sounds. Does anyone have any suggestions, or is this something perhaps someone else has dealt with already? I appreciate your help!

    Very interesting. Couple of questions for you:
    1. Did it only affect MIDI instruments or real instruments as well?
    2. If it stopped working with GB, what did you to fix the problem? Would it possibly work with Logic? I have contemplated purchasing that software.
    3. Do you know of any fixes for the 410?

  • Help with Powering m-audio firewire 410

    Hi to All
    I just got a Mac book Pro, and I own an m-audio firewire 410 interface. The Mac works wonderfully and I´m extremely happy with it and the 410 together.
    Does Anyone know if there is a way to power the interface with the AC adapter, whithout powering it through the 6 pin Firewire port when using batteries ?
    To My understanding, the 6 pin ports always can power devices.
    Thanks for Your Help, and sorry of any English glitch

    I have a MacBook Pro and a M-Audio Firewire 410. As we speak, I am running a six pin firewire cable to the Firewire 410 as well connecting it to the supplied AC power adapter. Nevertheless, I use it primarily with my PowerMac G5. When connected to the G5, I have both the 6 to 6 pin firewire connector and the supplied AC power power adapter connected and sending power to the unit. Nowhere in the manual does it say that you cannot connect the AC power adapter to the FW 410 while a six pin (powered) firewire cable is in use. It does say that the AC adapter is included to power the unit when a computer with four pin firewire ports (the kind that don't supply power) is connected to the FW 410. As bus power from a firewire port is often the victim of RFI from the components in the computer, I was advised by M-Audio tech support to utilize external power whenever feasible to increase the SN ratio on the device. So basically they told me to connect both at the same time. I assume that the FW 410 knows when it is receiving power from the AC adapter and knows to not utilize the power from the firewire bus simultaneously. If you are really worried, I suggest you call M-Audio tech support and let them tell you what I just did. One final thought: I have used my FW 410 with two power sources (firewire and DC in) for the two years since I've had the unit. It doesn't work as well as it used to...now that the drivers have improved, it works much better a than it used to. I hope this answers your question.

  • Share sound between XP and Archlinux computer [M-AUDIO firewire 410]

    Hi,
    This might be a strange question but anyway,
    I bought a M-AUDIO firewire 410 soundcard about 3-4 yeas ago, i never had a problem with it, and now that i've tasted the sound produced by the device, i can't get rid of it,
    I've searched for over one year in order to make it work under linux (tried FreeBOB, wine...), no success in making it work under arch (or unbuntu for that matter), but that's not the point of this topic
    The only solution that i've found can be by "sharing" the audio from my main computer (wich is running archlinux) to an auxiliary computer running Windows XP and has the firewire 410 plugged and installed.
    My question is, does anyone knows a way to share the audio buffer from my arch computer to my auxiliary computer without loosing too much quality ? Both computers are connected over ethernet at a speed of 1Gbts/sec
    I think it might be tricky, tried googleing it, but no success.
    I Consider myself as an advanced linux user, so fire away !

    s/pdif seems to be for such situations. You could also try running some networked sound daemon, pulseaudio supposedly runs on windows as well, not sure what support phonon has for networked audio.

  • Help! My Macbook Pro will not recognise my M-Audio Firewire 410 interface

    Hi
    I'm new here and fairly new to Macs having only recently bought a Macbook Pro.
    My plan is to use the Macbook primarily for music but I can't get my M-Audio Firewire 410 audio interface working.
    I have installed the latest Intel driver but when I plug the interface in, the Mac does not recognize it at all. I have tested the port/cables etc, and can successfully play music from an external firewire HDD chained through the Firewire 410.
    How is it possible that the Mac doesn't even know the interface is there (when I click on the M-Audio software icon I get this message "No M-Audio Firewire device was found connected to this Mac") yet I can play music chained through the device?
    I have tried both with, and without, the external power supply connected to the Firewire 410 and also tested it on my PC where it works as usual. And I've tried deleting and reinstalling the driver....(I thought this was PC only territory!)
    Any ideas? I really want to get back into music and my past (bad) experiences with PCs drove me to the Mac...
    Many thanks in advance

    Try v1.8.2 instead of v1.7.2 of M-Audio's driver setup.

  • M-Audio FireWire 410 grilled my firewire ports?

    I had a problem with my FireWire410. The computer wouldn't recognize it after waking up from sleep-mode. I unplugged the 410 while the computer was still turned on, which I should not have done. Now my G4 won't recognize my 410 or my LaCie 300 GB Firewire HD...
    I have tried turning the G4 off, unhooking firewire cables and unplugging the power cord for about 25 mins. I tried resetting PRAM and PMU (does the computer have to be powered on when resetting PMU? Mine wasn't)
    In System Profiler it only says "FireWire-bus:", nothin else.
    Is my FireWire card toasted?
    What do I have to be aware of when buying a new?

    I've had problems since going to 10.4.10 with recent 410 drivers.
    The external CD player hooked to my M-Audio can't be heard except for a second while booting the Finder. Then muted. I go into the M-Audio control panel, and it looks fine. But I get the sound back if I click (IIRC) the 1/2 button off then on again.
    The volume buttons take a second or two to have an effect. Then the indicator on the screen and the pop sound occur. In the process, sound is garbled. If I hit several times, or hold it down, the same happens, one step at a time, until it catches up. This has occurred on two computers going back to 10.3.x and with the last half-dozen M-Audio 410 drives... not apparently an OS issue.

  • M-Audio Firewire 410 soundcard problem on Windows on new iMac

    I've had this problem since I got the new iMac. When running Windows natively, with all Boot Camp 2.0 (same with the older Boot Camp) drivers installed and the latest drivers for my M-Audio Firewire 410 for Windows XP Pro, I haven't been able to use the sound card at all. Everything installs perfectly, the control panel works, but the hardware won't respond to any sound playback. I'm not sure if it's the Boot Camp drivers for my iMac or if it's my interface. It worked fine through Boot Camp with my MacBook Pro, but not the new Aluminum iMac. Using it with Ableton Live 6/7 fails. Playing it from iTunes fails. Everything fails. My interface is basically rendered useless on Windows. I believe it's an iMac + Boot Camp problem, not the interface. Audio program forums didn't help, so I cam here. Hope someone can help. Thanks!

    from M-audio...
    M-Audio does not support Boot Camp on Intel based Macs at this time.
    The problem is that there is no BIOS on Mac Intel systems and getting devices to work on some XP systems requires BIOS/OS tweaks. Boot Camp works around the need for BIOS; Windows does not. Windows installations are not always consistent and the fact it works on one Intel Mac does not mean it will work on another.
    Attempting to install any M-Audio device or drivers in Boot Camp is done solely at the user’s own risk.
    Here is a website that has many troubleshooting tips that can help get devices to work on XP and MAY work for Boot Camp; however this is all done at the users own risk.
    http://www.pcaudiolabs.com/setuptips1.asp?cat=setu
    For M-Audio FireWire devices:
    Switching from Mac to PC the FireWire device may not always load the firmware properly. To get the PC firmware to load you may have to boot into XP then shut down, disconnect, reconnect and reboot. Switching from PC to Mac automatically loads the correct firmware.
    If this workaround does not fix your issue, you will have to run the device solely on Mac OS or on Windows hardware.

  • Setting up m-audio firewire 410 as an aggregate device

    Having an issue setting up my m-audio firewire 410 as an aggregate device. When I set it up it gives of this God awful distortion sound. I had it set up to my G4 with no problems. But then I upgrade to a MacBookPro, got the latest driver for this version and model, and still...nothing. Any ideas? I need to record and this is really bugging me.

    It doesn't sound good with anything else. I just updated the newest driver and I am still unable to get rid of that radio static distortion sound. It is becoming very frustrating. I know it has something to do with the fact that I'm on a new Mac, because I got it to work with my PBG4 and it still does. It would be kind of stupid to record with the PBG4 but not my MacBookPro. Unless I just get another interface altogether. I shouldn't have to. It's still a great inerface. There's got to be a way to fix this issue. I'm just running out of patience. Thanks anyway.

  • Installing m-audio firewire 410

    i just bought a m-audio firewire 410 soundcard. to make sure i would install it properly, i followed every step of the user manual. still, it's not working. the blue LED light keeps flashing, my mac is not even detecting the soundcard.
    i don't know what to do...
    please help!!!!

    from my understanding, the bluetooth device is not getting power and that could be various reasons. it's dying, you have some new installed hardware that is draining from the bluetooth power thingy. haha. but yea, if you were able to the power manager reset, then it was just a minor draining thing.
    this thing happened to me when i had a bluetooth mouse, usb mouse, mbox, external monitor, usb keyboard, iLok usb dongle, usb hard drive all plugged in. hahaha. my computer was like, are you serious! but after all of that craziness. i reset, and it's fine!

  • Using m-audio firewire 410

    Hi Mac, community, I have this m-audio firewire 410 and I'm trying to use it with garage band.
    I only get sound if I change to *built in* audio output in garage band preferences and hear the sound in my computer's buit in speakers..If I want to return the audio through the 410 device ( changing to 410 analog 1/2 output in preferences ) and hear my bass on my 410's headphones output...I can not get any sound...what I am doing wrong ?

  • M-Audio FireWire 410 and FCP Studio 2

    Here is something that I've learned and would like to share.
    I have a M-Audio firewire device to record with Logic Pro. I have the latest driver and set my sample rate at 48 KHZ to be friendly to FCP6. But when editing and monitoring my video/audio thru my Sony HDV deck all the sequences and clips are sped up that indicates a sample rate issue. Monitoring audio thru the Firewire 410 is ok. My workaround is to disconnect the M-Audio device when editing video and use it only when scoring. So if you have this problem don't pull your hair out and start trashing pref files. Either monitor thru the M-Audio device or simply unplug it. If anybody else has any insight on this I would like to hear it.

    1. get a firewire card on a PCI slot, and assign the 410 to that.
    2. daisy chain the hard drive to the back of the 410 and DONT plug any other firewire devices into your mac.
