No audio output on record enabled audio track

Hi guys,
Not sure whether anyone else has encountered this issue with Logic X. When recording using an audio track once the record enable button is selected I am able to see input but the input doesnt go to any output so I am unable to monitor what I want to record. Once I record I am able to hear what I have recorded on playback. The issue has nothing to do with my audio interface as it does the same thing with the built in audio and output.
This problem doesnt exist when using audio instruments and it seem to have just started randomly.
Please help!
System spec
OSX 10.8.5
Procesor: 3.4 GHz intel Core i7
Memory 32 GB
Logic 10.03
Audio Interface: M-audio project Mix

I think this might help the discussion. I also have auto input monitoring selected. I can also hear the audio when I click the input monitoring button.

Adjusting audio output based on an audio input!

Kay so I live in an older apartment where my AC bombards my eardrums every ten minutes. My stereo master slider on my mixer is my best friend for overcoming this inaudible catastrophe! Men, I need you to help me link my microphone to my audio output gain so one of my arms doesn't get very strong compared to the other. I've been working out my other arm on a daily basis, but it's coming to the degree where I can't walk in a straight line. To prevent the repetitive volume increases and decreases and keep me from walking in circles, is there some software I can use to auto-adjust the gain from my machine?

Ok,
Looked simple, but fun, so I did it. Where you go
#!/bin/bash
MAX=20.0
MULT=1.0
TIME=5
function volume(){
arecord -f S16_LE -r44100 -d $TIME 2>/dev/null|sox -t wav - -t raw /dev/null \
stats 2>&1 |awk '/RMS lev dB/ {print $NF}'
level=$(volume)
while true; do
new_level=$(volume)
diff=$(echo $new_level - $level|bc -l)
level=$new_level
adjust=$(echo "
v=$diff*$MULT;
if (v < $MAX && v > $MAX*-1){
if (v > 0) {
print v,\"%+\"
} else {
print -v,\"%-\"
} else {
print \"0%+\"
}"|bc -l)
echo $diff,$adjust
amixer set Master -i $adjust >/dev/null
done
Its use arecord and sox to calculate the noise and bc to do some math (because bash is dumb =[). Some parameters MAX is the maximum absolute adjustment that can be made, MULT is a multiplicative factor applicated to the difference of dB measured, and TIME is how much seconds to record in each pass.
TIME can be used to adjuste the reaction time, a small value (like 1) react nearly instantaneous but a bigger value like 6 give some margin for rapid pops in the noise and only adjust if the noise difference existed in much part of TIME window.
When I use pulseaudio MULT=1 works ok, but with alsa I need MULT=5.
About pulseaudio, I started using it this week, and I really think that using pulse audio you have a lot more clear/cool/functional solution, but I need to explore it...
I dont know much about sound theory, so I dont know if I choose the best 'volume' description, but you can look at sox man pages and look for something more adequate (look for stats and stat).
PS. I hate bash... zsh is so much better (but, python is better than all) I only used bash because, uhhh I dont know the reason... masochism?

Audio output problem - using M-Audio Fasttrack

I had been using Logic Express (7.2.3) without any issues until recently plugging in a mic through my M-Audio Fasttrack.
I don't remember the exact chain of events - but at some stage, the software instrument outputs were no longer audible played either through the M-Audio, with earphones attached to its output, or through the laptop.
Even after disconnecting the Fasttrack, resetting the audio driver to 'built-in-input' and rebooting Logic Express, I still can't get any audio output from the software instruments. They aren't muted and the volume is turned up. Audio output from other programmes is working fine.
Can anyone give me any tips on how I could resolve this/suggest what I might have done to screw the audio up and what I need to do to undo it?
Thanks,
Antony

this is actually really simple
i just had the same problem with my m-audio and called support
when you plug in the m-audio fast track mac automatically sets the input and output through the fast track. To fix this you need to create an aggregate device. heres how:
click the finder in your dock
then click applications
in applications a utilities folder should appear...click that
in applications click Audio MIDI Setup
at the very top of the computer screen where it usually says what program is open it will say Audio MIDI Setup ..next to that click Audio
then click open aggregate device editor
you need to click the + to add a device
in the aggregate device screen it should say aggregate device.
below that check the option built in output
then check the option fast track (or device your using) the one that says 2 under the IN category and 0 under the OUT category.
click done
now open logic express (reopen if already open)
then click preferences
audio
under device tab the device option needs to say aggregate device.
click apply changes
and your done!
hope it works!

No audio output from built in audio

I do a lot of music production/recording on my mac, and to do so I use a firewire audio interface as my audio input and output while recording. When the device is not plugged in my mac usually automatically switches to the built in speakers or headphone jack for audio output. Tonight when I was done recording, I unplugged the interface, opened up iTunes, and went to turn the volume up, but what I got was the little pop op graphic of the speaker, with a little crosse out circle (like a no smoking sign). Now under my system preferences, built in audio is no longer listed as an option for output. After rebooting the machine the problem persists. Any thoughts?

You might try resetting the PRAM:

If this does not work then I would run "Repair Permissions" from Disk Utilities.

Cant reset my Audio Output after plugging in Audio Kontrol Interface

Whenever i plug in my audio kontrol interface to use a microphone Logic recognizes it and changes the input so that it picks it up, but it also makes sets the Output to the interface, like what garageband did, but i cant figure out how to change the output from my interface back to its original speakers output! PLEASE HELP

Unlike GarageBand, you can't set input and output devices separately. You can create a set up using both your interface and built-in audio at the same time by creating an aggregate device. Instructions on how to set this up are here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1215
If you want to switch outputs on the fly, try using SoundSource. It's free, very useful, and you can find it here:

Is there a way to have Firefox respect the default audio output device when it has been changed while Firefox is open?

I have been a Firefox user for many years and I still use it as my primary browser. One problem that has bothered me for years is the fact that when Firefox is open and I change my default audio output device, Firefox doesn't respect that change and continues playing audio through the device that was originally being used. Even if you stop the audio and continue playing, the output device doesn't change.
Is there any way this can be configured in Firefox? Now if I listen to music online (e.g. Soundcloud) I always use Chrome since it's respects the default audio output device change even while in the middle of playing audio.
Reproduce:
1. Start playing audio (e.g. from a YouTube video; HTML5 and Flash are affected)
2. Change your default audio output device
3. Audio will continue to play from original output device
Thanks!

This is the same issue that has plagued me for years. I always thought that this was a Flash plugin issue, but it does occur on HTML5 as well. A friend of mine verified that this does not occur in Linux, but only on Windows. It would be great to have this fixed, as it's honestly the only thing that's making me use Chrome all the time, as I don't want to have multiple browsers open.

Digital audio output - how?

I am new to Macs and the owner of a mini. I'm about to replace my stereo amp with an AV receiver so that I can use the mini as a media centre with a home theatre system. I want an AV receiver with a digital input as the mini has a combined analogue & digital output. My question is what type of digital lead to I need, are they standard and how do I tell the mini to provide a digital signal to the combined output socket rather than an analogue one? Or is it clever enough to work out what type of cable is attached?
Thanks in advance
Paul

I have my Mini connected to my A/v receiver using a digital TOSLINK to mini TOSLINK cable. It should have a mini jack connector on one end for the mini and a squareish connector on the other end for the receiver. The audio output jack on the Mac Mini can output both analog audio and digital. The digital input on my receiver uses a ADAT lightpipe connection on the other end, that looks like a square. These are standard cables and should not be that expensive. Here's an example of the type of cable:
http://www.amazon.com/6ft-Toslink-Mini-Cable/dp/B000FMXKC8
You will also need to make some setting adjustments in you sound control panel and in the DVD player to select the correct digital audio output format. Good luck.

Optical audio output questions

Concerning the optical digital out:
(A) If something's connected to this port, does doing so disable audio through the HDMI output?
(B) Someone in an Apple store said that the optical out is 'only' for 5.1 systems. Is this correct? I wanted to connect it to a stereo D>A converter.

If you disable the option in the audio settings menu to output Dolby Digital, then the optical output will deliver a bog standard PCM output as decoded by a typical stereo component with a D/A converter, irrespective of source material. If this option is enabled, then Dolby Digital material will be output by the ATV via the optical out and will only produce audio if the amplifier has a Dolby Digital decoder.
I assumed this would be true, too. So I connected my ATV to a Vizio Soundbar that only allows stereo digital input with it's to slink connector, and I can't get audio to play through it. I've tried disabling Dolby in the settings. I've also tried different source material, including streaming music to it via both iTunes and airplay.
I have confirmed that the output works with a Dolby Digital decoder I have in my stereo in the other room. Also, stereo audio plays through the HDMI port when I try connecting to another TV.
So far, all of my tests imply that the Apple TV can't output stereo digital through the optical port.

Upgraded to 7.2 and totally lost audio output

I wonder if anyone can help.
I have upgraded from 7.1 to 7.2 logic pro. now when i try to open songs i've been working on, i get no audio output at alll, just some nasty clicks and pops.
all tracks look like they're playing and show bouncing meters, but the master output is showing no audio output at all.
this only seems to happen on songs i had started in 7.1 because if i just load up logic and start a new song there's no problem.
i thought an upgrade was supposed to iron out problems not create them!
anyone had the same problem or got any ideas i would appreciate hearing from you.
my system:
G5 dual 1.8 Gig
mac OS 10.4.6
logic pro 7.2
audio interface - Novation X-station

i've tried disconnecting the X-station and running logic on built in audio but exactly the same happens.
after more messing, i've found that there are a whole load of songs which won't play audio, these are all in one folder and are an album project.
other songs in other foldres seem to play OK.
i haven't made any changes to the folder and am totally confused as to what is happening.
when i open these songs and press play, i get a horrible click or pop but then no audio. however when i press stop i get the reverb tail of an audio track.
i thought i'd finished the album which is why i thought it was safe to install the 7.2 upgrade, however now the artist wants a few changes and i can't do anything at the moment.

Do you get any sound from any sessions other than
what you've described?
Does this also happen with internal/BuiltIn Audio?

MacBook's Audio outputs for deejaying problem.

OK. Here's the scenario.
As you all know, the MacBook has one audio output that also serves as a digital output, so it's one or the other. I have that output connected to an amplifier via the digital option. Since I'm going to use the laptop for deejaying, I also bought USB headphones to use as the cue for the DJ software (Torq). The problem I'm having is I can't put two different sources for the Master and the Cue. I can, however, choose one source and specify the channels. For example, I can use channel 1 for Master and channel 2 for Cue and have two mono channels. This doesn't help either because I'm using the digital option for the output to my amplifier. I've also tried SoundFlower to no avail because in the DJ program, there are 2 sources for SoundFlower, one with (2ch) and the other with (16ch).
Any suggestions or anything that will help me solve this problem will be appreciated.
If there are external sound cards or anything of the sort please tell me.

Hi,
I just saw this.
Yes... there are many, many audio devices available that will give you the options you need.
There are both Firewire and USB options.
However, you may be able to get this going with what you have.
In AudioMIDI setup, (in Utilities folder) create a new Aggregate device.
I'm hoping the USB headphones show up there as an audio device.
Basically, you create a new aggregate device, use built-in audio for the Input Device, make it clock master, include all of your output devices then name the Aggregate device.
It should show up in your audio programs and allow you to select what outputs you need.
Don't know if it will work but worth a try.

How to use airplay speakers in multi-output device without crackling audio?

Hi,
I would like to mirror the audio output from my mac mini to the built-in output and an airplay speaker.
Therefore I added a Multi-Output Device containing the Built-in- and Airplay output, as soon as I activate the airplay speaker the sound is mirrored but unfortunately always with a crackling sound coming of the speakers set as "slave Device"... only the Device set as "Master Device" has clear sound, doesn't matter if it's the airplay speaker or the speaker (or headphone) directly connected to the built-in output.
I've tested this with a mac mini and an mac book air as audio source, same problem. Both were running Mac OS V. 10.9.2.
Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

I'm using a 2011 Macbook Pro running Mavericks and current Apple TV (MD199HK/A 3rd generation) when trying to output audio to both Apple TV and built-in output simultaneously I suffer crackling and popping. I have this issue once I use Audio MIDI Setup (under utilities) to create a Multi-Output Devise. Once I use this multi-output devise made up of Apple TV and Built-In Output to get my music to both output devises at once BUT I get crackling sound on either Spotify or iTunes.
I've worked around this issue by using AirParrot. I select Apple TV in AirParrot with Audio enabled. The Apple TV then takes all audio output, then I select the 'Multi-Output Devise created in 'Audio MIDI Setup' and I have playback through Apple TV and Built-In Output without any crackling or popping.
Only minor outstanding issue is that whatever scenario I then run Audio Midi Setup in terms of setting various devises as Master Clock and resampling of sub devise I can't perfect the sync between Apple TV audio output and my local Macbook Pro, but close enough with the slightest hint of echo. Plenty of forums discussing Word Clock sync which is out of my league. Un-ticking drift correction on the 'AirParrot' audio output has them close enough, depends on how easily you can hear your apple TV output from the room where your Macbook Pro is and vice versa.

Satellite Pro S500 - Mini displayport also carry audio?

Does the mini displayport on the Satellite Pro S500 also carry audio?
Chris

I agree with user above. Only one port can transfer video and audio signal at the same time and it is HDMI port.
If your notebook hast this port use it for usage with TV. Using this port you will have best audio and video quality on the TV.
If you need some more info please let us know for which purposes you need this audio signal transfer.

Date format and Alignment Change in the Excel Output.

Hi Forum,
Greetings to You!!!
I was created one RTF format file. In this i have to display date format as (dd-mon-yyyy) in the excel output and also some data in the column have varchar2 and numbers. When i generate the output in html, pdf format using the xml file its coming fine.
When i generate the output in excel format then date format is changing to dd-mon-yy and who have data in number format is automatically going to rtight alignment.
But client need all the date output in the left alignment (dd-mon-yyyy) ..Please advice me ..
Thanks & Regards,
Nag.CH

Hi Helios,
Thanks for giving reply. We are using 11.5.10.2 Application . We are not using any ADI..I just run the xml file in my local system itself in excel format..Date format is coming dd-mon-yy.Not in Apps environment.
Thanks,

Audio outputs on FCE?

If I have, say 5 audio tracks in Final Cut Express, will it be possible to route these tracks to different audio outputs (I have an audio interface with several analog audio output channels)? So far I have only been able route all audio tracks to one stereo output.
If not possible with this app. any hints on how to play out video + five different audio tracks / outputs simultaneously??

Not simultaneously. In real time you can only output 1 stereo audio pair. Your 5 tracks will be mixed into a single stereo pair based on the Left/Right channel assignments you make on each audio track.
On the other hand, you CAN export each audio track independently, with appropriate markers for use in SoundTrack, DVD Studio Pro, etc. This is a technique to export audio tracks to build a 5.1 soundtrack in an application like DVD Studio Pro.
