Ho to disable (Built in) Audio card in MacBook Pro?
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The only thing that I might suggest is to plug a lone Toslink miniplug adapter into the audio port. This activates the digital audio. The digital audio shuts off within a few seconds if there is no audio signal being routed through the port.

Warbled sound using the built in mic on a Macbook Pro
Hello all,
I just got Logic 8 and I'm still in the testing/experiment stages. Right now I'm simply recording my voice, through the *built in mic*, on my Macbook Pro. I'm recording at 192k, 24 bit to test out the sample rate differences and quality of sound. In my audio settings, on my macbook pro, I noticed that it only goes up to 96k. I'm getting audio overload messages, in Logic, and it sounds to me there is a slight "warbled" sound in the recording. Very much like the way a cheap mp3 sounds, underwatery/warbled/cheap. It's subtle but I can detect it.
Is this because the I'm using the internal mic?
Do I need to match my audio settings, on my computer, to Logic's sample rate settings?
Is that why I'm getting audio overload warnings and the distortion?
Any input will help.
Thanx in advance
TTWThe built in mic in your MBP probably costs a dime. It's completely useless for recording except maybe as a quick sketchpad for remembering a melody. They put it in for Skype/iChat purposes, not for professional recording. A more or less decent microphone is at least $100, plus you'll need a proper interface with a mike preamp to connect it to your Mac. Even then, the chances that you'll hear a discernable difference between 44.1 kHz/96/192 are slight.
Best,

New to the community here, thanks for your patience. I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver with the UWF-1 USB adapter with the intent to stream audio from my MacBook Pro to the stereo. I have gone through the setup instructions for the adapter and the receiver gives me a message saying that it is connected to the password protected network, but that is as far as I can get.
I have gone into iTunes and clicked on the "Open Stream" option, but I just get a pop up box labeled "URL" that is empty. I have Home Sharing turned on and File Sharing turned on, but I am not seeing the receiver in my Finder window or as a iTunes device.
I would appreciate any and all advice and assistance.
Thanks so much.
DanSo I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver. -
I recorded an interview on my iPad using the iTalk app. How can I transfer that audio to my MacBook Pro? The file is too big to email.
Use DropBox. https://www.dropbox.com/help/84/en

I am wanting in input audio to a MacBook Pro running 10.9.4. Since there is only the internal microphone as an input choice, how do I accomplish this?
Not something I've ever done, but I found a 9-year-old article from MacWorld -> http://www.macworld.com/article/1041790/tapetocd.html - that explains it a bit. Apparently the only software that you need is GarageBand and a hardware interface. Just Google "copy audio cassette to mac" and you'll get tons of hits.
Good luck,

HT1222 Security Update 2013-001 (Lion) may have disabled the DVI on my 17" MacBook Pro
It looks like Security Update 2013-001 (Lion) may have disabled the DVI on my 17" MacBook Pro ... 2006 vintage ... it worked fine before the upgrade. Tested port with HD monitor using an HDMI adapter that worked before. Thanks for the help!
Thank you for the suggestion ... I repaired the disk ... repaired the permissions ... from the CMD+r restore partition ...
No changes.
I'm in the process of doing a Software Update scan ...
Thanks for the suggestion ... hope there might be more ...
I know these are supposedly never monitored by Apple ... but I can always hope! -
When browsing on the Apple TV menu the remote affects my MacBook Pro and changes it to video mode even if not connected with the Apple TV
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
In that case, just disable the IR port of the MacBook Pro > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7234
If you are using OS X Mountain Lion, you have to go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Advanced -
Can we add graphic card to macbook pro late 2011
can we add graphic card to macbook pro late 2011
I'm sorry, but you can only replace the hard drive and the RAM. The rest of the hardware is soldered onto the logic board, so it's not possible to replace it

Can i use 4gb ram card instead of (2x2) 2gb cards in macbook pro 15" 2.0 ghz
can i use 4gb ram card instead of (2x2) 2gb cards in macbook pro 15" 2.0 ghz
Hi John,
If your MBP is a 2011, yes, and here is one example: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1333DDR3S4GB/
If your MBP is from 2006, the other year Apple made a 2GHz, the answer is no, as the max RAM is 2GB.
Given that it appears you already have 2x2GB installed, I'm "guessing" you have the 2011 model, so the answer is yes. -
Audio into my macbook pro with retina display?
Does any one know of any devices I can use to get audio into my macbook pro with retina display? PLEASE Help!!!!
Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

The audio on my macbook pro cuts out after a few minutes.
The audio on my macbook pro cuts out after a few minutes. It sounds like all the low end is removed. I still hear audio but it is MUCH lower and sounds filtered. I can barely hear it maxed out. Nothing attached (no external drives, no speakers, etc) and it's only a few days old.
Apple store pronto. If need be (if less than 14 days from purchase) exchange for a new one!
Ciao. -

I think the best you can do is use the System Information application (Utilities Folder), looking in the wireless section.

HT3249 Can the graphics card of MacBook pro be customized?
Can the graphics card of MacBook pro be customized?
Only at the point of ordering from the Apple store. Select the required Video card at that point, because it can't be changed later.

how will i increase the shared memory of the graphic card of macbook pro 13-inch, early 2011 from 4gb memory?
The current version of Mavericks is 10.9.4. To update yours download and install OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
You can upgrade RAM to the maximum your model will support. That would be:
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
OS X Mavericks- About Activity Monitor
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs. -
Stream Safari/DVD audio from my Macbook Pro to my Airport Express.
Is there a good way to stream all audio from my Macbook Pro to my Airport Express? Not just simply the iTunes audio.
This does work in general but not for my particular need. I have a Mac G5 using ProTools and a MBox digitizing vinyl (USB connection). I am on a MBP getting work done elsewhere in the house, but want to listen to the music and especially to tell when album side is done. To get music to the MBP, I have plugged the G5's line inputs to the MBox line outputs, then used messenger to create a chat with the MBP. Too bad I could not get the G5's input to be the MBox, but ProTools wants sole control. Works OK, but the messenger output on the MBP will NOT go to the Apple Express, just the speakers or headphone out jack.
