How to turn off audio device powersave?

In both Windows 7 with bootcamp, and OS X (10.5.8), the audio device power saves, causing it to turn on when in use, and turn off after 30 seconds of silence from the computer. This has been an undocumented "feature" (more of a bug) since OS 10.4.10. The issue with power saving the audio device is an audible "pop" or audio artifact when the device turns on and off. It is only audible through headphones or external speakers.
Is there a fix for this? Note, it has happened since day 1 with this MBP, when it came with 10.5.7.
Does anyone else have the same issue? Is it a hardware issue or is it just software powersave releated?

Well, then I can't find anything but this

Unfortunately, its for Tiger. I called Apple help and support, it was neither help nor support, so I'm on my way to return this MBP. I'm glad I found what a useless device the Macbook Pro is for audio before it was too late to return it. Thanks Apple! I hope in the future Apple can actually work out some bugs, instead of just sucking in the money.
Off to an nice HP computer.

  • How to turn off audio during transfer

    Is there a way where I can turn off the audio during a Log Capture/Transfer? I still want the audio to be captured but just not played on the speakers. I'd like to listen to other sources of audio while the video is transferring in the background at the same time. This way, I don't have two different audio sources playing out to my headset.

    Do bear in mind that doing both operations at once could jeopardize the integrity of your capture (you could end up with dropped frames), that said, in your Log and Capture window under the Clip Setting tab you should see a "Preview" checkbox in the Audio section. Untick that box.

  • How can I turn OFF audio monitoring during capture from tape?

    FCP has a very useful check box that allows you to turn off audio monitoring during capture, so you can listen to other things whilst the batch captures.  Is there any way to do this in PP?  If not, how can I make a feature request?
    I'm using PP CS6.
    Thanks for any help.

    The only other solution I can offer is to go to "edit" "preferences" then select "playback". Under playback set the default audio device to your capturing device instead of the adobe desktop audio. This will allow you capture but not have to listen to whats being captured. However once it's done capturing you'll have to set it back to adobe desktop audio otherwise you can't hear what you're editing in your timeline.
    Other than that I'm out of ideas sorry.

    How do you turn off audio in a clip.  I am trying to eliminate wind noise.  I am using premier 12.

    Welcome to the forum.
    In addition to Steve's suggestions, there is another way, that comes to my mind:
    Open Audio Mixer, and for that Audio Track, check the Mute checkbox.
    Good luck,

    2. Find the network adapter that you want to make a change, right click it, and then click
    Properties.
    3. Click the Power Management tab, and uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    “w8.1 has way more option” could you please explain a bit for this sentence?

    I've this problem and don't know what to do , i'n trying to follow these steps so i'm asking how to turn off photo syncing and to sync my device

    As the article you attached says, "Within iTunes, select the device, then select the Photos pane and turn off syncing."
    In other words, once you click on the device in iTunes on your computer (with the iPhone attached), you then click "Photos" near the top and uncheck the "sync photos" box.
    Then you sync your device by clicking something in the lower right (it probably says "Apply", but it might say "Sync").

    I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
    To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
    1) Go into Settings > Store.
    2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
    3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
    4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.

  • How to turn off my i cloud in my ipad using computer

    how to turn off my i cloud in my ipad using computer

    Hi jackie,
    Not sure what you are wanting to do, but if you do not want to be signed into iCloud on your device, you would do that by deleting the iCloud account that is signed in on that device: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and press the delete button. Type in the Apple ID/iCloud password, and then answer each prompt until it is complete.
    This is done directly on the device. There is no way to "turn off" iCloud on your device via a computer, unless you wipe the device and remove it from your iCloud account under the Find My iPhone app, but that requires that you wipe the device before you can remove it:
