Hi there, can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac Mini? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? Thanks in advance, Grtz T.

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac mini i7 using an Apogee jam as an input for bass and a Behringer USB DAC with RCA audio output? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? I'm also suffering massive audio lag issues with the Apogee jam after waking the mini from sleepmode, wich pretty much renders it useless.
Thanks in advance,
Grtz T.

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

Selecting audio output device in iTunes.

I currently have two sound cards installed.
My computer is defaulting to playing sound through one of them, but I would like to play iTunes through the other.
Is there a way to select the audio output device that iTunes outputs to?
I have no been able to find the option anywhere.
Thanks!

"No audio output device is installed" on Satellite C655D-5120 running Windows 7 64-bit

Ever since I installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on my C655D-5120 laptop, I keep getting the message "no audio output device is installed." I have tried all the suggestions I have been able to find on the internet to install any audio output device to correct this situation but without any success whatsoever. If I go to Control Panel and click on Device Manager, there is no entry for "Sound...." so there is nothing to delete there to start things over again. So, does anyone have some new suggestion that I should try?
Solved!

To answer your question, it's a rather long story. I bought the computer used and already out of warranty more than two years ago and sent it to the Philippines with my son to give to a friend there. Because it did not get forwarded, it just sat unplugged for a very long time, likely more than a year. When I suggested that my son plug it in, he informed me that the battery had failed, the keyboard was unreliable, and there might be problems with the hard drive. So when I visited the Philippines in March, I took along a newly purchased battery, a newly purchased keyboard, and a spare hard drive that I already had. In the process of swapping out the keyboard, something slipped and it broke loose the on/off power socket from the motherboard. So I just brought it back to California in April. When I could not repair it myself, I took it back to the man from whom I bought it. He discovered that there was something else seriously wrong with the motherboard and replaced it and the entire lower half of the case, which it turns out was not an exact replacement. The trade unanticipatedly converted my C655D-S5120 to a C655-S5082. When I attempted to boot the computer, it kept asking me for the HDD password, which I had never set or changed and therefore was unknown to me. What caused this to happen I do not know, unless it was because the internal battery completely discharged. Internet research convinced me that this locked HDD was now trash, and I replaced it with a spare WD HDD that had been previously wiped clean, loaded a new installation of Windows 7 64-bit onto it, and started using it again. All research I have done since then and the multiple attempts I have tried indicate that this C655 has no functioning hardware audio device installed and therefore trying to load an audio driver is futile. Not knowing the history of the C655-S5082 replacement definitely complicates things. I have resigned myself to using it without any audio capability. (It is not my only computer.) Because I am severely hearing impaired (I'll be 78 later this year), functional audio is not particularly necessary anyway. So I believe that this case can now be considered closed, even though not to my complete satisfaction.

Macbook Air Audio Output Device Gone

My sound on my mid 2013 MBA has gone. Under prefeerences, there is nothing under device output. I have restarted several times; no luck. I looked under Mac HD, library, prefs, audio,; but could not find any audio files to delete as per one thread. Under utitlites went to audio midi etc, but could not find any listed audio output device list. I have repaired disk permissions. Done a shut down and restart. But still audio is greyed out, and no devices show up under system prefs, sounds, for output device. PLEASE HELP... I am in Zambia and closest apple dealer is in S.Africa. Thank you.

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that 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.

No Audio Output Device is Installed (intermittent)

Model: HP Pavilion dv6810us
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)
I have the above laptop, which has been giving me some troubles as of late. First the DVD Rom drive disappeared from the device manager,then the keyboard stopped working right, then the audio output device vanished. Well, yesterday I disassembled the entire thing, cleaned up all the gunk and cat hair that had accumulated on the inside and threw it all back together.
The good news is the keyboard works again, it's not overheating anymore, and the CD/DVD-Rom drive is back and functional, and the sound came back.
The bad news is the sound has gone kaput again and it again says there is no audio output device installed. I tried reinstalling the drivers, and that didn't work. It said couldn't install the drivers because it couldn't locate the device. Every once in a while, the sound comes back, but then it usually goes away again.
Soooo, is there a fix for this or am I going to have to break down and buy a new lap top and/or new components? I usually have pretty good experience with Altec Lansing speakers. But, now all that shows up in my Device Manager is the Bluetooth Hands-Free Audio and Bluetooth Stereo Sound....which doesn't really... give me any sound at all.
Thanks in advance.

Its easy! Your sound drivers are corrupted.
Just do the steps:
1. Delete the sound drivers from the Device Manager
2. Restart your pc
3. Reinstall the drivers.
Note:1. Disable Internet before starting these steps.
2. After restart When the windows tries to install drivers, stop/cancel it.

Help Please!! no audio output device installed?

Hi. I have a satellite A215-S4757 last night I installed some windows updats went to bed because it was going to take awhile. When I got it had finished and was in sleep mode. When I turned it on I noticed the sound was on mute. Or I thought it was. When I attempted to turn the sound on I recieved the message "No audio output device installed". I updated BIOs 2.30 but that didnt work. If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

Try this! Looks like you have Realtek audio. I was having the same problem until I installed the updated Realtek driver directly from Realtek site.
As many users have posted, I was having this problem with my Satellite L505-S5990. I tried most of the suggestions I could find here and on the 'net to no avail. I was surprised to see that this problem affected many laptop brands - even as far back as Windows XP!!
Last week I think I finally found the answer (or at least Realtek did). My laptop has Realtek HD audio, and the drivers that came with laptop seemed to be the culprit. I checked the Realtek site last week, and they have an updated driver, dated 3/30/2010, for Windows 7 as well as other versions of Windows. It is Version 2.46.
I downloaded and installed these drivers, switched back to going into sleep mode rather than hibernate and - so far - the computer wakes from sleep with sound intact!!!
Hopefully these drivers will work for others.

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.

How can you choose which audio output device to use?

I currently have my system set up to have two different active audio output playback devices, Speakers and Headphones. By default, applications play on the default audio output device, which is set to Speakers on my computer. However, I am wanting to play iTunes on my Headphones output while all other applications are running on the default Speakers output. In Windows Media Player, there is a dropdown to select which output device the application streams to. Is there a way to make iTunes do this, either in the Preferences menu, by using a plugin, or installing a third-party application that overrides which output applications use?

Under Utility you will find the Configurazione MIDI Audio.app The name is in italian on my Mac but you should find it in your system language. The icon is a Piano Keyboard.

NO Audio output Device is installed as well as NO sound, video, or game tab in the device manager

Here is the issue I had with with my Compaq F700 series laptop. The sound was working one day and then not working the next. Over the volume icon there was a big red X and the warning that No Audio output Device is installed. I also found that there no longer was the sound, video, game tab in the device manager. It had gone missing.
I couldn't use most of the fixes as they require having the sound, video, game tab available and this tab was, as I said missing. I tried reinstalling the sound drivers from the manufacturer’s website as well as using the driver re-install, but at each attempt it would fail as a result of not having any audio devices installed on the computer.
I tried doing the system restore and rolling it back but the problem didn't get resolved. What eventually worked was restoring the system to a MUCH earlier date, like a month prior to the problem. When the restore finished the sound was still not fixed. HOWEVER, the computer OS (WINDOWS 7) needed to re-install a bunch of updates and after the updates were installed, everything was working. I suspect that the original issue was a bad update (the updates didn't install correctly) and that by rolling the system back to a time prior to the bad updates and then re-installing the update was the fix.
With that said, if the restore option doesn’t work or can’t be done I would try looking through the add/remove programs in the control panel and uninstall the most recent system updates, then restart computer and let the updates re-install.
Good Luck

Only option that I see in the BIOS is under Security. Audio Device: Hidden or Available. It was set to available and I left it at that. Still no audio.
Really? Nothing? This computer is one year old. Absolutely no reason for this to be happening. What a joke.

Satellite L20 - no audio output device using Win7

I purchased a 2nd hand Satellite L20 which was upgraded from xp to win7 on the task bar says no audio output device is installed.
Tried update driver in device manager -- no good
Downloaded Realtek AC97 driver -- no good.
It will play sound from dvd through usb sound device to head phones.
But how the hell do i get the sound to work on internal speaker.

Do you know which sound chip is inside?
This old notebook model is not supported for Win7.
Try to install THIS driver.
If this will not help try to install Vista driver or drivers designed for other notebook models.
It is not easy to help with this. Check sound chip.
By the way: I asked you for model name and not model number!!!

I deleted my audio output device
