How do you setup HDMI audio with "Nvidia Quadro 4000 for Mac"?

So I just purchased a new Mac Pro:
Mac Pro (5,1) 3.33 GHz 6-Core
8 GB Ram
ATI Radeon HD 5770
1TB HDD
OS 10.8.3
I also purchased a new Nvidia Quadro 4000 for Mac Graphics Card because the 3D animation software I'm using (Blender) requires this card to accelerate render times. 
I have installed the card and all is working well as far as I can tell except for the HDMI audio.  According to the specs on Nvidia for this card, it DOES support HDMI audio through the Display port.  I have my HDMI cable plugged up and the video works great.  However the audio option does not show up in the System Preferences.  (Here is the page for the graphics card.  Look under "specifications" at the bottom for the audio part.  http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-4000-mac-us.html).
I did find a link for a kernel addition for HDMI audio but it stated "non-Apple Nvidia cards" and this one is specifically for Mac.  Here is that link:  http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1499797.  (I also plan on posing the same question there.)
The reason I want the HDMI to work is I'm using a TV as my monitor.
Now I did try the HDMI with the ATI Card and both the audio and video work great. 
What I did for a quick work around is install both cards and use the GPU processor on the Nvidia for the animation program and use the ATI for the actual port and this fixes the hdmi audio issue.  However this takes up pretty much all of my PCI slots and seems like a waste of space and power.
Has anyone else run into this problem and found a solution??  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I went ahead and tried that extension that I found.  It worked! 
I guess Mac just didn't include the audio support in the driver that it includes.  Below is were I found the instructions and download.  It includes a shell script that installs the kernal from the Terminal prompt.  The instructions were clear and installed with out a hitch.  There were also instructions to remove it if there were issues.

  • Nvidia quadro 4000 for mac and os 10.6.8 on After Effects CS6 (11.0.2) Cuda don't work

    Hi,
    We bought an Nvidia Quadro 4000 for Mac for use RayTrace on After Effects CS6 (11.0.2) with our Mac Pro 5.1 on OS 10.6.8.
    And the Mac lost the Cuda driver when we restart it.
    We use the Nvidia driver 256.02.25f01 for Mac Os 10.6.8 and we made test on different Cuda driver (4.1.25, 4.2.10, 5.0.37 and 5.0.47).
    When we install Cuda driver and start directly After Effects 11.0.2 it’s works (after effects see the GPU processor).
    But when we restart the Mac and try to launch After Effects, AE doesn’t see GPU processor and ask to install Cuda driver 4.0 or later.
    Do you know this problem ?
    Do you have a solution ?
    Thanks.
    And sorry for my English !

    Hi All,
    I'm having the exact same problem on 10.6.8 with a brand new Quadro 4000.  My CUDA preferences are up to date, but After Effects CS6 is not seeing the card.
    GPUSniffer gives me some really weird results, which I've included.  Of particular note there is a repeated "just leaking" message, an "invalid drawable" and "Did not find any devices that support GPU computation."
    Anyone have a fix for this?  We just dropped a lot of money on this card so I could squeeze some more life out of this workstation (Mac Pro 4,1 dual quad 2.66 with 12GB RAM).

  • NVIDIA Quadro 4000 for Mac H3314LL/A

    NVIDIA Quadro 4000 for Mac $1,199.95
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H3314LL/A
    256 CUDA cores
    2GB of high-speed memory
    GPU accelerated professional applications DaVinci Resolve, Autodesk Smoke and Mathworks Matlab

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-4000-us.html

    Interesting; so as of today, the 5870 got a 'ADD NOW' and '1-click BUY' button. Just like the Quadro 4000, you can now actually order it.
    Availability has not changed from 'currently unavailable' however....
    Hatter, to my previous post; I realize that the Quadro will greatly accellerate certain tasks and apps; and for CUDA sensitive apps, it looks great.
    But I am worried about this being also a day to day card; playing WOW or other things after work is done.
    The raw SPEED of the Quadro is clearly much less than a GTX 285, or a 5770/5870:
    Quadro 4000:
    Memory Bandwidth: 89.6 GB/s
    Core Clock: 375 MHz
    Memory Clock: 700 MHz
    at a max W of 142 (power)
    GTX 285 (Mac version - which was slightly underpowered):
    Memory Bandwidth: 159 GB/s
    Core Clock: 648 MHz
    Memory Clock: 1242 MHz
    at a max W of 204 (power)
    5870:
    Memory Bandwidth: 153.6 GB/s
    Core Clock: 850 MHz
    Memory Clock: 1200 MHz
    at a max W of 188 (power)
    Based on these specs, applications which don't take advantage of the Quadro's specific accelleration should be markedly slower than with the consumer cards, wouldn't they?
    Best,
    Dan

  • NVIDIA QUADRO 4000 for MAC---Issues with Adobe Premeire

    Hello,
    Mac Pro (Tower)
    *OS 10.7.5
    *2.8 GHx Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    *16 GB RAM
    I've had a multitude of issues with Adobe Premiere on this system and I'm not sure what to attribute it to.  First of all: I have two MAC Book Pro's that run APremiere, with similiar specs and only 8GB of RAM.  These two laptops run APremiere flawlessly and it's because of this reason that I can deduce, that my 'tower' is having issues because of the NVIDIA QUADRO 4000 installed; it's the only difference, besides the RAM, that the computers have.  Has anyone had issues using the NVIDIA QUADRO 4000 before?  Some of the issues I've been having are (please note, these issues are random, happen at random times and on random projects.  The majority of the footage I use is MOV (from DSLR cameras) and MP4's (from a Sony EX-1)):
    *Renders crashing
    *Slow clip playback
    *An oddity: certain MP4 files will go out of sync-on playback from APremiere and even in a VLC player
    *AMedia Encoder crashes
    Maybe the NVIDIA has nothing to do with it?
    Thanks for your time and help.
    Tim S.

    Maybe the NVIDIA has nothing to do with it?
    One way to accrue evidence would be to turn off Mercury Playback in the Project Settings.
    I have that card, and turning of MPE often gets me through a session.  Some here have claimed that the card is the cause of the frequent Serious Errors, and disabling it is the solution.
    That's hardly satisfactory when one of the best features of Pr is the ability to use CUDA.
    However, anything going through the card also has to pass through Pr and the OS.  Adobe claims that updating to 10.8 fixes some bugs, but according to some here (myself included), not enough.
    I had one project recently that I couldn't get the Serious Errors to stop until I re-installed the nVidia driver.
    But, your list of problems could be due to corrupt Pr preferences.  If you have a Mac, you need to get used to refreshing your prefs several times a day.  They could also be corrupt media.  That will cause renders to crash.

  • Nvidia quadro 4000 for mac issues

    Hey Im running a quadro 4000 on my mac pro and I'm having issues in my bootcamp partition running windows 7, were it won't wake up from sleep or screens won't turn on at all, some issues in general with it booting up properly and sometimes screens go black, but computer is still running just black screens... any ideas... from what i see people have been running this with and since the latest drivers people seem to be happy... just can't seem to get much performance out of mine. Even treid installing the drivers as a root user but still having similar issues as before.
    From reading on many forums it seems like this should not be happening with the latest drivers now out, Ive put back my old ATI and it works fine so im pretty sure its the card... any suggestions or tips?
    thanks

    Separate and head to Boot Camp forum for issues with Windows.
    There are some threads on Q4000 and CUDA drivers but that is easy enough to resolve by going to Nvidia driver downloads page. I was not aware you ever needed to or would want to anable as root.

    Hello Apple Community,
    Originally upgraded to this Quadro card because, for what I was doing, the ATI card that came with this Mac wasn't cutting it. I was told by three different reps from three different companies that the Nvidia Quadro K5000 for Mac would be great for what I need. So far it has worked out to not be the case.
    The issue started with simple projects overlocking the processor, which then resulted in the machine shutting down. For months now the computer has been randomly shutting down, at least twice a day. Its is odd that something is sending kernel panics when there isn't any stress involved.
    Programs involved:
    Adobe After Effects CC
    Adobe Premiere CC

  • How do you setup multiple users with multiple devices on itunes?

    I'm trying to find the easiest solution to our family music situation.  4 users, 4 devices (ipods, ipad, imac, pc laptops), and 4 different musical song interests.  I'm sure there are millions of households that have the same exact situation.  I want to be able to pull up only my musical library, not my kid's music, and then easily synch it to my ipod.  Everyone in the family wants to do this same thing.  I have spent alot of time trying to search the forums/internet and there does not seem to be one "most popular" solution.  I did setup iCloud for each family member using a different Apple ID than my main Apple ID, and I'm happy that ALL the music shows up on my ipad.  But between iCloud, MobileMe, Home Sharing it all gets very confusing.  Some say to setup multiple computer login accounts, and others say to setup 1 playlist for each family member and synch from that playlist.
    I would think 1 itunes account allows you to easily share a purchased song with 4 users, instead of buying songs twice.
    So here are a few of my questions-
    1-Is it best to have only 1 itunes account and then synch all devices off of 1 main computer? 
    2-Or since we each have iCloud accounts, will they be able to synch their ipods from their own pc laptop?
    3-And when they synch, what is the easiest way to exclude other users music in itunes? (other than unchecking hundreds of artists)
    4-Or setup 4 separate computer login accounts on the imac and then keep 1 itunes account?  If so, how does this work when they open itunes?
    Again, I'm hoping for a straightforward simple solution.  I don't want to move & create libraries, download 3rd party software, etc. etc.  Please reply if you found something that works for your family.  Thanks in advance.

    turingtest, I do have a couple questions. 
    Number one, does everyone in your family only sych their ipods from only 1 computer?  If everyone only uses itunes from 1 computer I can see how that will work.  But what if kids want to use itunes for windows?  Will "Home Sharing" allow all their music purchased on the MAC, to be also displayed on their itunes for windows laptop?  I noticed you have PCs and also an ipad.  How do you manage your family's music on these devices?
    Also, how did you first get everyone's music library into their own library?  Drag & drop?  Is the "grouping field" you mentioned under "view", then "view options"?  What does this do? 
    Thanks.
    Sorry I missed your post earlier. Normally I follow up on any replies. This one must have fallen off the page on a busy day.
    As my kids have left home I have created for them a complete clone of the familiy library, then deleted the tracks from it they don't want. Over time their libraries will divirge, but if needs be they can still update their devices using the library at home. Handy when eldest's kit was stolen.
    Grouping is just another property, useful because it isn't generally overwritten by other software but is stored in the tags, so preserved when you copy files from one place to another. You can make the column visible and edit for multiple tracks in Get Info. Some software calls the same field "mood" or "sub-genre". iTunes has a specialist purpose for it generally used with classical music, but it doesn't seem to work very well for that and I don't use it that way.

  • How do you play YouTube audio with the screen off with iPod 5th gen?

    I used to own a 2nd gen iPod touch, which ran on an ios 4.2.1 system, that allowed me to play YouTube with the screen off. Ever since I got iPod 5 which came with ios 7, let's say I am kinda still getting the hang of how everything works. I still would like to play YouTube while the screen is off, but seem to not know how. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? It's running on ios 8, so if you could help me with this, I would gladly appreciate it!

    Hi there, you can download itube, it's in the app store, and that allows you to save youtube videos for offline play. Also, you can play youtube audio with the screen off, even without a third party app. Click on a video. When it's playing, press the lock button. Press it again, to wake the device up. You should see your video on the front of the display, with a play button. Click it, and it will start playing even if the device is off. Hope I helped, ~Samuel.

  • NVidia Quadro 4500 for mac and pc question

    I am thinking of purchasing a new Mac Pro 3.0GHz Quad-Core desktop with the nVidia Quadro 4500 graphics card. I want to run Solidworks on Windows XP SP2 and also be able to boot into Mac OS X. I have done hours of research trying to make sure it will work but can't seem to find any posts that suggest my system will work as I intend.
    I have found out that the nVidia Quadro 4500 needs to configured for the mac (firmware) and that you just can't buy one from eBay and install it. There are PC versions and Mac versions. Also, flashing it to work with a mac is very difficult and may damage the card if you get it wrong. Not something I want to do.
    So, my question is: If I buy this Mac Pro from Apple with the nVidia Quadro 4500 card already installed, will I have any problems with it working on the window side of things when I boot into Windows XP? Does anyone have the setup that I am talking about and also running SolidWorks on the Windows side?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
    Yee Ha!

    Hi,
    Mac OS X Leopard has Boot Camp included with the software. I have read online (Apple site amongst others) the BootCamp bundled with Leopard has all the drivers for Windows included, so you no longer need to create a disc with the drivers needed for Windows (as you did under the BootCamp beta version).
    That being the case, Leopard should have the required drivers for your Quadro FX 4500 to function under Windows.
    See here for details:

    Hope this helps

  • How do you setup RAID 10 with Disk Utility?

    I read a post that indicated a Mac Pro user created two mirrors and then striped them with Disk Utility to create a RAID 10.
    I tried this but Disk Utiity will not allow me to stripe the two mirrors. I tried dragging and using the "+" button. In each case no RAID 10 could be created.
    Could someone list the exact procedure for creating a RAID 10 using Disk Utility?
    Thank you

    I have Mac OS X Build 8K1124 and I believe that came with my Mac Pro as I've not required a Mac OS X update via Software Update.
    Now, I have to honest, I'm not entirely sure that was the exact process. As you can appreciate I don't have another 4 drives to try this again so I'll do my best here.
    It's definitely right up until the part of making the mirrors and unmounting them, that I know for sure. What I don't remeber is what I had selected to get to the RAID tab to create the Stripe Set. I believe I had one of the mirror partitions selected, that is, either "disk5" or "disk6", which brought up the RAID tab that then allowed me to create the stripe set.
    I then created the set and then dragged the mirrors (I believe disk5 and disk6) into the set.
    If you can't do this can you let me know how your situation deviates?
