How do I get surround sound after compressing a movie using compressor

I am using compressor to create files for authoring DVDs using DVD Studio Pro 4. I want to get surround sound 5.1. How do I go about doing it? I have using Dolby 2.0 so far. Thanks for your help.

Well, in order to get 5.1 surround sound, you would have to mix the sound in 5.1 surround. Pro Tools and Soundtrack Pro 2 (the one in Final Cut Studio 2) can both do this.

How can I get surround sound to work?

I have a new TouchSmart 520z. I believe it has an integrated soundcard. When I purchased it I was told that surround sound speakers would work. I purchased the Logitech 5.1 speaker system. I don't have any color coded RCA receptacles on the system. I have a mic and earphone receptacle on the left side and a sub and another receptacle just below it with a design on the rear that I am not sure of. I placed the green RCA plug in the bottom receptacle on the back and get sound out of the two front speakers and subwoofer. Don't know where to plug in the center and rear speaker plugs. I have a feeling that this system does not support surround sound. I configured my settings to surround sound 5.1. Need some help. Thanks.

Did some tests...
If I change the default audio device to the integrated audio device in the mainboard I get the same. Changing the bitrate in itunes or in the windows settings does not help either...
Anyone has a similar problem?
Or anyone has a similar setup and actually gets surround sound from itunes?
I rather keep renting and buying films through itunes and not switch to some other shop...

How can I get surround sound to export through the correct speakers?

Hello there!
I am experienced with Soundtrack Pro and can successfully export 5.1 surround.
I'm moving over to Logic Pro to try out 7.1 surround, but I can't even export 5.1 surround successfully since dialogue for example comes out of all speakers, yet I've panned it to the front centre speaker. Please note I do not have surround speakers set up with my computer as whenever I do connect to my amplifier it just does everything through all speakers (whether using Soundtrack Pro or Logic Pro). I am using the visual surround panner as my guide. Either way the surround export in Logic Pro is not what I'm doing within the pogram.
I believe I've got everything set up properly:
In Preferences-Audio-Devices-Core Audio I have device Sunflower (16ch)
In Preferences-Audio-Output- I have 5.1 (ITU 775) or 7.1 (3/4.1)
All tracks are set with the surround panner and I can use just like in Soundtrack Pro.
I can bounce the individual stems properly.
It's just not in proper surround sound.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks in advance.

EMB -
What is the function of Sunflower in your work flow? Usually its used to route audio between programs. In the case of Logic, you simply need to route to the outputs for things to work right.
I guess we should start with your interface - do you have 6 actual separate outputs that you can use to monitor your surround sound?
(NOTE: I no longer do surround, but used to). In my case, I used a RME Fireface 800 which had a bunch of analog outs. I used outputs 1&2 as L&R, 3&4 as Center/Sub, and 5&6 as Rs/Ls. Each of these outputs was connected to a monitor so that I could mix in surround.
When you say you are bouncing 5.1 successfully, do you mean it is creating 6 separate files?
BTW - what mechanism are you using to playback your surround files? I used to use a PC program to burn DVDA's, which I then played back on a DVDA-capable disk player.
If you are looking to encode the files so that they will playback on a traditional surround sound system, you would need to put them through a Dolby Digital encoder. If you have had Logic for a few years, you MAY have Compressor which can do this. Otherwise, Dolby Digital encoder software can be somewhat expensive.

How to get Surround Sound 7.1 output out of all speakers?

Hi all... I moved my system from Ubuntu recently and am having one small issue that I haven't been able to solve; everything else is working great and I'm about ready to move all of my other systems to Arch also, once I've solved this. :-)
The one nagging issue I'm having is with sound. This is a fiber digital connection that was working on the ubuntu install and a couple other distros I play with, but I haven't been able to find the issue in Arch. Sound comes out of only the front-left and front-right speakers. When I do the sound test, it lists all of the other 7.1 speakers, but no sound out of anything other than the front 2 speakers. I noticed that I don't have an asound.conf, so I was wondering if that might help or if it's not needed with Arch?
sound.conf contains the following:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
/proc/asound/cards contains:
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xf9cf4000 irq 22
arecord -L shows:
default:CARD=Intel
HDA Intel, ALC1200 Analog
Default Audio Device
front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
HDA Intel, ALC1200 Analog
Front speakers
surround40:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
HDA Intel, ALC1200 Analog
4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers
surround41:CARD=Intel,DEV=0

4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround50:CARD=Intel,DEV=0

5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers
surround51:CARD=Intel,DEV=0

5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround71:CARD=Intel,DEV=0

iec958:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
HDA Intel, ALC1200 Digital
IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output
null
Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
If anyone has any pointers, it would really be appreciated. I'm begging for help. ;-)

Thanks! :LOL: - those were 2 of the url's I've been looking through (in addition to the alsa faq, some stuff on the ubuntu, gentoo and xbmc forums).
I've setup an asound.conf and am about to give that a test.
--edit--
Well, that didn't solve it. I'll have to keep trying. :-(
If anyone has managed to get surround sound working out of more than just the front 2 speakers, I'd love to hear how you did it. ;-)
Mine is connected via digital, so it's beginning to look like I need to set spdif up somehow.
But... Now that I think about it, it 'should' be pretty easy since all I basically need is for it to force all raw audio out the fiber digital connection since the receiver actually handles all of the decoding (dang....it worked great in Ubuntu, now if I can just figure it out in Arch). LOL
Thanks!!

How do i get my sound to work?

How do i get my sound to come back on?
It won't play back any sound even though i press play on itunes, and another music player.
Even after I restarted the computer.

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Make sure Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so uncheck it.
    Option click the speaker icon, if present and select Internal Speakers.

My ipad tells me that my icloud email is already used. That is true. The one whom it is assigned to is me. How can I get it back after deleting it?

My ipad tells me that my icloud email is already used. That is true. The one whom it is assigned to is me. How can I get it back after deleting it?

Deleting an email account for the the mail app will not have any effect on ther AppleId and its use for other services. You need to delete the old ID and set up the new one for other services suxch as FaceTime, App store, etc.
It sounds like you are trying to set up a new ID rather that just adding your old one back in. Or maybe I'm missing something.

I no longer have sound for either my audio books or my music on itunes. I've tried everything--restarting, updating, re-installing audible app, and restoring the iphone to its factory settings--nothing helps. How do I get the sound back?

How do I get the sound back on my iPhone 4? I've tried all the fixes such as restarting iPhone, reinstalling the audible app, and finally yesterday, I restored the phone to its factory settings. I still get no sound from music on iTunes or from my audible books. The phone still rings (I have sound for that) and the voice control speaks to me, and when I'm typing, the automatic text voice speaks so I can hear it but nothing else works.

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

I believe I had leopard and I was having issues getting errors of system not being supported. I contacted Apple and was advised I needed to upgrade to snow leopard. My laptop is from 2009 and I haven't done anything to it till now. The apple rep also stated I should do a fresh install when putting snow leopard on so my laptop would run faster. Apple rep told me to get a external hard drive to put my info on it so the fresh install would reset everything to like it was brand new. I had someone help me with getting everything on the EHD.. doing the right format and such and then once that was done I put in the CD for snow leopard and hit install. Which brings me to now, with everything but my pictures. I have the EHD plugged in... now what? What do I do? I have looked in the EHD in iphoto and it was all standard images *not my pictures but images of a check mark or an arrow again not actual pictures. I don't see a folder pictures and i looked for images and found nothing. I have Applications, Included Free Designs, Library, System, User Guides and Information and Users, those are my options and non of those have a "pictures"
I have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 & Mac OS X version 10.6.3

How do y get the sound to work.

How do I get my sound to work.

I assume you have an iPad.
It would help if you give some information in your profile or your post about equipment, operating systemversion and so on.
If you are new to iPad:
Go to Settings, choose the "general" line in the left panel, then you will see the "Use side switch to:" possibilities.
Check the side Switch position.
Underneath the General is the Sounds settings, iy look there look at the most upper setting at the right.
Happy new year.

Thanks for our reply. My speakers are powered Bose speakers but still didn't pick up the sound until I tried this suggestion from another discussion thread. This worked like a charm:
Re: External speakers don't work created by ally100 in MacBook Pro -View the full discussion
I had a similar problem a while back. The issue was with the speaker jack plug and the macbook phone socket. For some reason the jack plug was not a good a fit, as say the jack that comes with the iphone ear phones. A few tiwsts and turns of the speaker jack plug and it eventually became a snug(ish) fit. Have a look on you tune. There are a couple of videos on there that might help if this is not the issue.

If they are no longer stored in your iTunes library and were only on your iPod, I'm afraid you are out of luck. Sorry.
