HT4619 How to test the audio input port

How do you tell if the Audio in port is functioning. I have tried everything and cannot get the computer to accept audio from the external mic. or guitar.

The audio input port is line-level and will not pickup the week signal from an un-amplified mic or guitar pickup.
To test the audio input, try an iPod, stereo receiver or something that has a built in amplifier.
To use an un-amplfied mic or guitar, you will need something like a > MXL iBooster or a USB > Griffin iMic.

  • How read from the HDMI Input Port?

    Pulling down the Add Media menu in my Premiere Elements 11 window, I do not see an HDMI port input.
    My Dell XPS ONE PC (running Win 8.1 Pro) has an HDMI Input port.
    I would like to pull audio/video off this port into Premiere Elements 11 to edit and save to a disk file.
    Any ideas on this?
    Thank you!

    AT,
    Thank you for your reply.
    First to comment on DV, HDV data capture.  Yes, reading Adobe documentation I see the Premier Elements data capture works with Firewire. 
    For example, one Adobe document is at:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/setting-system.html
    The HDMI port in this diagram is an output port on the camcorder and connects to a TV set.  That way the user can monitor the data capture in progress.
    I suspect that most PC's and laptops, like the DV/HDV camcorder labeled with letter "D." in the Adobe diagram have an HDMI output port only.  The intent is to put the screen or video content out to an external TV.
    Some PC's now, as does my Dell XPS, include an HDMI input port.  It is connector # 15 on the diagram for the XPS at
    ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_xps_desktop/xps-one-27-2710- aio_Setup%20Guide_en-us.pdf
    To make my post brief and concise I purposely left out any detail about the input device.  I believe HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface.  I want to assume some high definition (and therefore high speed) digital data stream accompanied by a digital audio stream is coming into the PC.  Whatever HDMI supports, the HDMI hardware on the PC input port should handle.
    As one example, I should be able to play a file from my DVR into the PC over the HDMI input port. This might be a saved TV show or a clip from a DV/HDV camera recording.
    That's just an example. But, what I am trying to do is recover the video/audio off an old Samsung SCL901 Hi8 camcorder.  I was asked and I told my acquaintance I would try. 
    The camcorder interface is the legacy S-video port.  A second audio port (3.5 mm female jack) carries (as you know) only mono audio (left side in the stereo cable). 
    One thing to do is to play the camcorder Hi8 tape into my DVR.  The DVR has a legacy S-Video port and phono plugs for the audio right in the front panel.  Then burn a DVD.  Then put the DVD in the PC, read it into Premier Elements and edit the material.
    Instead, what I'd like to do is play the tape right into the PC.  There seems to be a lot of legacy media that folks have just let sit around way too long.  And now the world has passed them by.  Enough people that apparently some companies have built converters.
    I looked at this S-video to HDMI converter.
    http://www.walmart.com/ip/Composite-S-Video-and-HDMI-to-HDMI-Converter-and-Switch-w-HDMI-P AL-NTSC-Support/39457809
    This is a Roku brand S-Video to HDMI converter.  It upsamples the legacy 480i to 720p or 1080p HDMI digital signal.
    The Roku converter appears to get the S-Video into the PC hardware.  Then what?
    It was sort of wishful thinking pulling down the “Add Media” menu tab in Premier Elements 11, wanting to read from the HDMI Input port.
    Still, Adobe does magical things, so I thought I would ask in this forum.
    So “Yes” to your add-on question at the end of your post.  I was thinking of capture via HDMI.  And I agree with your first impression that this is not possible.
    It could be there is software available from somewhere that will dump the HDMI port on the PC directly into an AVI, MOV, Microsoft, Flash, mpeg, DVD or some other standard file format.  Then Premier Elements can open the file for further editing.
    AT, I appreciate your response and comments on this project.  They have been useful guides.  Thank you so much for your time.

  • How do I get audio input to my TV when using a HDMI adaptor/converter?

    I bought a Belkin HDMI converter for my mid-2010 Macbook Pro so that I can watch internet movies on my television. When I plugged the HDMI into the adaptor I am able to see the video play on my television however the sound is still coming through my computer instead of my televsion. How do I get audio input from my computer onto my TV?

    You need to set the output in System Preferences > Sound > Output to HDMI.

  • Sample rate off the audio input and out devices do not match - what to do?

    This is fundamental, I know, but nevertheless I can't find my way around it. I get this error message when trying to recor:
    Sample rate off the audio input and out devices do not match
    and am asked to do this:
    Use the appropriate operating system or audio device control panel to adjust the sample rates of the input and output devices to use the same settingt.
    I have defined the sample rate to 44.1/16 bit in accordance with my inbuild soundcardt.
    I am trying to record from LineIn.
    When running on a M-Audio sound card I don't face any problems.

    You're sure you have set BOTH the input and output settings to 44.1 16 bit?
    Which version of Windows are you running?  There are a number of posts on this forum about how to fully access both the Windows Mixer and the Mixer for your soundcard.  Especially, you need to ensure that all "Windows Sounds" are turned OFF.

  • How to test the rule if multiline container is passing to the task?

    Hi Experts,
                      I am working on leave workflow. I have to get the approvers based on no of days of leave and leave type. I am getting these details in ITEMS_TAB internal table. I am passing this table to a rule. Now my problem is when I tried to simulate the rule I am not getting any input screen to enter the data.
    ITEMS_TAB is an internal table type of   "PTREQ_ITEMS_WF_TAB_FLAT".
    In the rule I have created a container by selecting the radiobutton "ABAP Dict. Data Type" and entered the above reference parameter is it right way?
    Is it possible to test the rule independently if I use multiline container as import parameter in my rule?  If so can anybody please tell me how to test the rule?
    Thank You.
    Srija.

    Hi Pavan,
                     Thank you.
                     To copy the values I am not getting any input screen to input the values. I observed one thing that the type that I am referring in the Rule is a deep structure. Is this is the reason that I am not getting the input screen to enter the values?
    I tested by creating aother rule by taking a field for that rule I am getting the input screen to simulate the Rule.
    Can you please suggest if the rule will not work then what I have to do? without the rule how can I get the agents?
    Thank you.

  • How to disable the audio track in QT Pro Movie Recording

    I have a device that allows me to record DVI video (1900x1200 uncompressed) into QuickTime Pro through the Movie Recording function. It all works very well except I am trying to record video only (it's the video output of a medical device, so there is no sound). In QT pro preferences, the choices for audio input are "automatic", built-in microphone", or "line-in". I need the choice of "none" (at these files sizes I need all of the CPU's resources working on the video to improve continuity and frame rate). Does anyone know of a script to disable the audio recording portion, or how I might write one? I have never written script before, but that won't stop me from trying to learn how (or rather, launching into a prolonged period of trial and error).
    I am also going to approach this by nagging the video device manufacturer, but they are more Windows- centric (they do support Mac OS X and some Linux platform so all hope is not lost). However, it would be easier if I could have more control over my own destiny, and Mac folk seem to be much more helpful.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help.

    First, thanks for the quick reply.
    Setting the audio option to line-in with nothing plugged in yields the same results. The device (which is essentially a continuous frame grabber) doesn't have any audio feed at all, and I think that is what is confusing QuickTime. The file I record generates one video track and several sequential audio tracks that start at roughly every 4 seconds. The movie info say that these are Big Endian Stereo L&R tracks, and that have virtually no file size to speak of. Audibly there is nothing. However, the constant "start over" with the audio is causing 2-3 second skips in the video. When the video is recording contiguously, the frame rates are on the order of 15 to 20 fps, which at 1900x1200 is fantastic for what I am doing (software training video of a Linux-based medical device; nothing cool like Snapz available for this beast).
    By the way, I have tried Hack TV Carbon, hTV 0.2 and QT Broadcaster, all which will recognize the device as an input source, but not choose it. These would let me deselect the audio input. As mentioned, I am prodding the device manufacturer for help, too, so maybe they will come up with something to address this.
    The other thing is that this device creates a video stream that is transferred by USB2. If it was a Firewire device, I would be all over this with iMovie HD or a HD Video recorder, and just be done with it. Apple may have to come up with some universal driver to accept USB video in since they have dropped FW on some of the new models, but this frame grabber isn't on the list as of now.
    No real solution I can find to convert USB to Firewire.
    Anyway, I am hoping that somehow I could get into the QT script and just disable the audio recording, like the old "save as Un-editable" script would pullout the "save" function of the QuickTime action.
    Of course, dumping the audio tracks after the fact doesn't fix the video; once it's chopped up coming in...
    I suspect that the real answer to this issue lies with the frame grabber manufacturer. But, I am still hopeful that the QuickTime Script writers out there (or the Terminal folks) may have something up their sleeves.
    Thanks for noticin' me.

  • Just bought a MacBook 11" Running Lion, Where did the Audio Input Selector go?

    Hello,
    I'm a digital performance artist, and I'm preparing a new 11" MacBook Air for use as my main computer in the desert at this year's BurningMan. My software must use the built in line input to process an audio signal. On my 13" MacBook running Snow Leopard, in the audio preferences, I am able to choose to "use the 1/8" audio jack for:" input or output. On the new 11" MacBook Running Lion, I do not have that featurte yet the Audio input is mentioned in the documentation I read before acquiring it. How do I enable the audio input? If it is a Lion issue, is it possible to downgrade to Snow Leopard until Audio Line In is supported?
    Any help would be great. I'm looking for something like "defaults write com.apple.xxx.AudoInputSelector -bool YES"
    Thanks!
    Sid

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Free upgrades to Mountain Lion already ended, so now you have to pay to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. I recommend you to return the MacBook Pro and get another one with Mountain Lion if you want. Another option is to wait until Apple launches Mavericks and upgrade to that version

  • Is it  possible to record audio from the audio in port instead of the default microphone?

    The quality of the audio would be better if I could provide it via the audio in port of the Mac rather than defaulting to the built in mike in the display.  Can I do that?

    The quality of the audio would be better if I could provide it via the audio in port of the Mac rather than defaulting to the built in mike in the display.  Can I do that?
    Yes. Specifics depend on the recording app being usded. For instance, for QT X, select "Built-in Input: Line Input" in the dropdown menu. Other apps may require you to select the "Line In" option in the "System Preferences.../Sound/Input" panel.

  • How to set the table input in Query template?

    Hi all.
    I need to call a Bapi_objcl_change, with import parameter and a table as an input. I have done this, in BLS. I have set the table input in the
    form of xml. In BLS, I get the output(the value gets change in SAP R3, what i have given in BLS).  But if i set the same xml structure  in
    query template, I didn't get the output. Table input parameter does not take that xml source.  How to set the table input in Query template?
    can anyone help me?
    Regards,
    Hemalatha

    Hema,
    You probably need to XML encode the data so that it will pass properly and then xmldecode() it to set the BAPI input value.

    Hi,
    Sorry, my Tosh A100 has a Geforce 7600, I don't know what your GA is.
    But on mine I have a NVidia Control Panel, where I can configure dualview,
    which normally lets me choose between the builtin LCD and the extern monitor (VGA-Port).
    When a TV is connected and not recognized, I can enforce recognition there.
    On the next start of the panel, the TV is then available too.
    Perhaps I could help you.
    If not, note that with windows settings your TV will not be available.
    Try to go to the User Interface of your graphics adapter...
