Internet Audio will no longer Play Through USB Output to hi-fi Amplifier & Speakers

My audio output jack on my Mac G4 is broken. I have been taking audio out of the computer by USB into a device that converts the audio so it can be used with a traditional amplifier and speakers. This presently, still works fine for audio or audio/video sources that are stored on my hard drive.  Yesterday, I was looking at a youtube video embedded on a non-youtube site. Both audio and video were working fine.Then the audio stopped working. I went to the youtube site and no audio worked there either. I have tried myspace and other sources with audio/video, but no longer will audio from the internet, play on the USB system.  Any player on the hard drive will produce audio through the USB port to the amplifier system. If I switch the Mac OS X.4.11 system preferences to select the internal speakers for the output destination, I can get audio from the internet again. Then everything from the internet or the computer plays through the internal speakers. I have Safari and Firefox Browsers. I need to be able to play music from the internet through the USB port to my amplifier and speakers. One suggestion I researched was to trash the Macromedia preferences and then restart the browser. I tried that to no avail. Hopefully, somebody out there knows what happened and can tell me how to fix it.

Hi BD,
Thanks for saving me. And thanks for responding so quickly. Your answer was there when I got up. For me 48 hours was a long time to go without that function.
I had seen one reference to the audio midi setup app and had looked at it but somehow only saw the midi devices dialog box which I had dealt with in the past. After your post I went back to it and I immediately discovered that there is also an audio devices dialog box.
From the drop-down menu I selected 44100.0 hz int the format field on the output (right) side of the dialog box.
Also the Default Ouput and the System Output fields had built-in audio selected instead of iMic USB audio system. I used the drop-down menus to switch them back.
So watching the youtube video imbedded on a non-youtube site must have changed those settings.
Any idea why that would have happened?
Now, I'm wondering if the little iMic USB audio system which converts the digital signal to analog line level out is actually a little midi device? Well, maybe not since there is no midi plug involved. I have seen that setting (44.0 Khz) relating to CDs I think. I'm guessing that 44.0 Khz and 44100.0 hz are very close to being exactly the same thing.
So does 44.0 Khz = line level (analog audio)?
Anyway, BD, Thanks again for solving my problem and doing it so quickly. What a relief!
Have a great 4th of July holiday weekend,

  • Core audio will no longer play from firewire interface

    For some strange reason, and all of a sudden, my LE8 will no longer work with my MOTU 896HD Firewire Audio Interface. It will stop about 3 seconds in and will give me a error message that it cannot sync audio and midi. I then have to force quit the program. There is no sound. I also have my I-Tunes playing through my MOTU 896. (Not simultaneously with LE8) Itunes works fine. So I assume there is no communication problems between the interface and my cpu.
    I have checked the Core audio settings and it is set to the MOTU. My system sound is set to the MOTU.
    Oddly enough, the LE8 will play through the internal I/O setting of the CPU. This system has worked flawlessly for over a year now. I Cant imagine why it all of a sudden is doing this.

    Hi,
    this error message is one of logics universal "42" answers for telling something is wrong.
    1st: How's your I/O buffer size? Tried increasing it?
    2nd: How's your hard disk speed / load? If it stumbles upon some heavy HD streaming, you may get this message.
    3rd: Does Logic do this with every song or just with a few ones? Try another template.
    4th: How are your FW cables set up? How long are they? Is anything else daisychained in the FW's? Or do you use external HD's on USB Port? For some people, the problem went away by using short and quality FW cables.
    5th: Try trashing Logics prefs (after a backup - especially of your custom key commands)
    6th: Set Logic's MIDI clock from "auto" to "free" (one of the many sync options hidden in the prefs)
    7th: pray
    God bless you,
    Fox

  • IPhone 4S no longer plays through USB when connected to Ford Mondeo Bluetooth Hands Free System on iOS 5.1 and 5.1.1

    Not quite the same problem but my speaker dock no longer charges iPad1 and iPhone4 since upgrading to iOS5.1 but was playing and charging only the day before, extremely annoying as I have only had the dock about 3 weeks now.
    I haven't tried my iPad3 yet, but will assume that it will do the same

    Hi Robin,
    Welcome to Sony Community!
    Make sure that iPod is securely docked into connector. Update software of iPod to latest version. Reset both the Docking Station and iPod.
    On the Docking station:
    Unplug the power cord.
    Wait approximately 10 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the AC power outlet.
    On the iPod player or iPhone device:
    1. Hold down both the Home and the Lock button at the same time.
    2. Wait approximately 10 seconds until the power on the unit turns off.
    3. Turn the power back on by holding down either the Home or the Lock button.
    After reset, turn ON the Docking System and set the iPod on Dock connector and playback music.
    Note: If the version of Operating System in iPod is updated to iOs 6, it might not be compatible with the Docking Station.
    If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accepted solution".
    Thank you for your post.

    I have similar problem, my apple tv which has always worked properly with my Samsung tv will no longer play any audio after the latest 5.1 upgrade. Very frustrating as it was working perfectly before. I am starting to not trust apple upgrades until proven for example ios6 on iPhone with that stupid map app instead of google maps.
    I just want to buy and hear my iTunes music and videos on my apple tv, could before cant now. Thank you apple. Time to pack up the apple tv and start torrenting without the ios-bs.
    Disheartened apple fan.

    Welcome to the  discussion forums.
    Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

    I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
    Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider?  How is is at all relevant to Apple??  In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

  • Music I have on iTunes on  comp wont sync to iphone plus music I bought through phone will no longer play on phone after I synced to my comp.

    Just bought music on iTunes from phone and then synced to iTunes on my computer and now the music I bought through the phone will not play but still remains in my music library. Also music that I had in my library from ripped CDs and other resources will no longer play on phone but will on the computer. How can I fix this problem?

    In my Sync vehicle, I had to "forget" the SYnc connection in the iPhone Bluetooth settings, then go into the car menu and delete the bluetooth device from the vehicle's system. Once I re-paired from scratch, it has been working fine. Give that a try. If not, try removing the connection from both sides again, then Reset Network Settings from the General Settings before re-pairing.

    When I import audio and move it into my timeline the project will no longer play?

    The audio is a .wav file created in Audacity.
    The OS is Windows XP
    The verison is CS4
    I have included images of the Sequence settings and the playback settings because I was not sure what information you would need.
    I am not sure what you mean by waiting for the Audio to conform but I know I have imported the audio and gone back the next day and tried to place it in the timeline and it still did not work.

  • Lots of my music will no longer play after latest update

    Hello,
    I have a lot of music that will no longer play in my iTunes after the last update.  it doesnt happen with all my music, but a lot of it, and as far as i can tell, movies and tv shows are still good.  when i click on the song, it just skips forward over a lot of songs that it cant play until it gets to the next one that it can play.  to make things stranger, i synced my iPad to my iTunes, and the ones that cant play in my iTunes will play on my iPad.  when i try to open the song using QuickTime player, i get the following error: error -2002 a bad public movie atom was found in the movie
    what is a bad movie atom and why am i getting the error when trying to play an audio file, and why wont they play in my iTunes but will on my iPad.
    System: Win7 Ultimate 64bit AMD A10 8GB RAM
    iTunes : 11.4.0.18
    QuickTime : 7.7.5
    any ideas?
    thanks

    The contacts is saved on Google or Backup Assistance (Whichever you are using) and you can use ES File Explorer like I posted at http://community.vzw.com/t5/Android-Apps/Simple-way-to-Backup-apps-for-Hard-Reset/td-p/658707 , so you really wont loose anything but apps data...
    BUT, I am not saying that you do this if that is your only issue...  I was just pointing out that this is a good ideal to do with any Major Updates..
    If the contacts isnt linked again you should get the option to link them again once the OS boots, normally it checks and then prompt to link again..

  • Many songs in my library will no longer play.

    Many songs in my library will no longer play. I receive a message saying "song could not be used because the original file could not be found". It then offers me a selection of earlier libraries going back several years. None of these earlier libraries will play the songs. What has happened?

  • Video will no longer play, cannot add video content either.

    Since this afternoon, iTunes video will no longer play. Not movies, not TV shows. I checked and music and podcasts still play. I thought it might be a conflict between purchased video vs video I added from my DVDs, but no such luck. Purchased content will not play. Nor can I add any new video, whereas I added a new TV show episode this morning.
    If I go into the iTunes LIbrary file and select a video and choose "Play with Quicktime" the video plays just fine. But if I select "Play with iTunes" nothing happens. At all. Not even an error code. It's like I didn't select anything. If I try to add content by the keystroke "command O" and choose the file … again, nothing. No error. Just no response at all. When I open that file on my computer, select "Play with Quicktime", then choose "Share with iTunes" inside Quicktime I do finally get an error. "This file cannot be shared (error 206)". I looked up this error code and found this: "The filename or extension is too long." This does not make sense. The file names are fine and the extensions are exactly what I always use to add content to iTunes.
    So it's like the entire video portion of iTunes has ceased to function. Any clues?

  • About 1/3 of my 4100 tunes will no longer play.  Please help!

    Over the past year I have spent countless hours painstakingly adding appropriate track information, cover art etc. I like the tracks to be attached to the original album, not a best of. I also have a lot of extended versions, remixes etc which then have to be attached to the specific 12" or cd-maxi single etc and a lot of hard to find - hard to attach stuff. Needless to say - I don't want to do it again.
    Anyway - I just noticed that a large quantity of tunes (looks like about 1/3 of the library) will no longer play. Double click on them and nothing happens. No cover art - it's as if the song is not there. A look at the "get info" shows the track in the right place with everything pointing to where it should be ... but no play. To add insult to injury, I can't get them back by double clicking on the track itself in Explorer. It still will not play. And these songs are not corrupt. I have been playing them for some time now without issue. How can I save my library and information and get these tracks to play again.
    Side note: this has happened before, usually after an iTunes update and typically with only a few tracks, never this widespread.
    Please help!

    I have made it a standard practice to keep a copy of all music files - tracks under the Album -- at a separate folder location.
    Do you have such a back up location of your music tracks? If you do, I'd suggest to try this:
    Delete all tracks, that are NOT playing, belonging to one Album in iTunes. Then locate the folder in your backup location where this Album's tracks are located, and ADD this folder to iTunes. Then check to see if these play OK.
    If they do, then repeat the process for all the rest.

  • Help please: iTunes will no longer play downloaded songs

    ITunes will no longer play songs that I've downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. It used to play them, but now it won't play them at all. It will play only songs in the library from my CDs. I only have these downloaded songs on one computer, the same as I've always had. I can see the files in the folder My Music/[artist]/[album]. I have QuickTime 6.5.2 and iTunes 4. I don't know of anything that's changed on my computer since the songs were working.
    1) Is the problem that it's an old version of iTunes?
    2) If I switch to a newer version, will I lose all my downloaded songs?
    3) If the version of iTunes isn't the problem, any ideas about what could be wrong?
    Please help! I've only had iTunes for a few months and have barely been able to use it. (I can't understand why it would become so outdated so quickly.) Thanks in advance!

    Back up your purchased music before you upgrade, I've read at least 5 cases where purchased music has just gone.....missing.
    That is not supposed to happen, didn't happen to me or thousnds of other iTunes users, but you don't want to be the 6th person, do you?
    There are two things to try before you upgrade:
