Is it possible to update the USB audio Codec??

Hello. Yesterday i bought an ART USB pre-amp for DJing live with, and while it works with my 10.6.4 imac, it doesn't like my Powerbook G4 (10.4.11) - the machine i actually need it to work with! The device apparently comes preloaded with the correct drivers but its showing up as 'USB audio codec DEMO' in the sound settings, and emitting a beep every 30 seconds or so. I've tried speaking to ART who were pretty unhelpful and directed me to Apple. I just need to know if i can work around the codec demo, as i can't upgrade the OS on the Powerbook and my worry is the preamp is just not compatible with the older OS. Any feedback appreciated. Here's a link to the device:
http://www.artproaudio.com/products.asp?type=90&cat=13&id=132

If the manufacturer of the device won't help you, why not return the device for a refund and buy another preamp from a company that supports it?
ART's website doesn't offer any System Requirements for your preamp — an extraordinary oversight for any software or hardware developer. Page 8 of the user manual indicates that it should work even with OS 9, and you say it works with 10.6.4, so I presume any in-between version of OS X is also OK. In the end, it's up to the manufacturer to support the buyer of their product, and if they can't or won't do so, they don't deserve your business.

USB Audio CODEC not being recognised.

Hello,
I have my my Wharfedale 802 mixer plugged into my MAC Mini (late 2012), Processor - 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory - 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, via USB however it is not being recognised as USB audio CODEC what so ever. I have also tried searching for this to set the outputs in Logic and it is not recognised there either.
I have just updated my iOS to Yosemite 10.10.2 and also my Logic X does anybody know why my mac is not recognising my USB audio CODEC for an input or output?
Please help.
Thanks

I just posted this problem I had also. The USB audio Codec is for PPC macs only. I couldnt get a PYLE USB cassette deck to work in AUDACITY because it needed that codec.Windows users use this codec for many devices including the one you are trying to connect.
My post in Snow leopard forum:
I have come to the conclusion that this codec only worked on Macs that used PPC chips,not Intel Macs.Apple must have dropped it when switching to Intel.No where on the net can I find anything about this codec on newer mac OS's and newer Macs.
Judging from this user's comment and others,they are working with OSX10.4 or newer OS that has PPC support like the first Mac Pro and other PPC's.I think the comments below answer my own original question.Hope this helps anyone with the same kind of problem with USB devices that need USB audio CODEC.
In Audacity prefs, I selected:
"USB Audio CODEC" for both Input and playback.
I even tried lower sample rates and such. Record button stays grey and readouts don't show any input whatsoever even though I am sending a signal.
Mac is a 533Ghz g4 (Digitial audio) running 10.4.11
It is plug into a USB port on back of machine.

USB Audio Codec DEMO driver

Good afternoon. Today I bought a mixer Allen & Heath Xone 42. I am having problems connecting the mixer to my laptop. I use Mac Os Lion 10.7.4. When you connect the system uses the USB Audio Codec DEMO driver. Sound enters the mixer, but is accompanied by a constant beep. Every 30 seconds. This is the way and makes the mixer unfit for entry. Please help me resolve this issue.
on the Internet found several similar complaints. Advised to remove the codec. But how to do it, I do not understand.
In support of Allen & Heath wrote the following:
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

But this mic is for Mac too. It's says that you "plug and play". I bought this microphone to record my music work at home.
This is the website, It says that works fine with Garage Band but ...

Usb audio codec mono only

I am trying to connect usb record player. Apparently the usb audio codec that loads is mono only and shows up as being used with a usb mike. I am using an HP Touchscreen model IQ526 with Vista 64 bit OS. Is there another driver that can be downloaded or another solution to the problem?? rayful27

USB AUDIO CODEC PROBLEMS

A few days ago I bought an USB Microphone (Samson G-Track). I don't know why It doesn't work. When I select in Sound/Preferences/Input the "Usb Audio Codec" but It says that there aren't input controls in the device. I tested it at Garage Band but It didn't work. I thought that the mic was defective but when I tested it in my mother's pc (Vista) It worked.

Hi Rhea91-
Your English is indeed very good
Are you plugging the Mic directly into a USB port on your Mac? Are you certain there are no Mac-specific drivers? "Mac compatible" can mean many things. Is the device OSX 10.5.2 compatible?

USB Audio Codec

Compaq Pressario 5220, Windows Vista, 32 bits (approx. 3-4 years old)
I bought a USB gramophone record player with a USB connection. This does only operate with a USB Audio Codec which I am supposed to find under Control Panel, Sound, Record.
Alas!
Any ideas on where to find/acquire such a codec?

I have a Pyle USB cassette tape deck that needs this codec also to work with Audacity.I'm out of luck with the USB connection and have to connect it via RCA plugs to miniplug into Line In.
I have come to the conclusion that this codec only worked on Macs that used PPC chips,not Intel Macs.Apple must have dropped it when switching to Intel.No where on the net can I find anything about this codec on newer mac OS's and newer intel Macs.
Judging from this user's comment below and others,they are working with OSX10.4 and PPC's like G3,G4 and G5.Also later versions of Mac OSX that had support for PPC's like the first Mac Pro.
In Audacity prefs, I selected:
"USB Audio CODEC" for both Input and playback.
Mac is a 533Ghz g4 (Digitial audio) running 10.4.11
It is plug into a USB port on back of machine.
Attached is a screenshot from Audacity and it shows the USB Audio Codec. I was pulling my hair out,wondering why I couldn't see it in my audio sound setup in OSX 10.6.8 on my black Macbook.I couldn't find it in my system anywhere.This attachment showing the codec installed MUST have been done on a PPC G3,4 or 5. Nowhere does it exist on Intel Macs.
Disregard the red circle.

Where do I find USB Audio codec in OSX 10.6.8?

I need this for a Pyle USB tape deck (PT-659DU). Audacity is the only program that can be used with this deck and they show clearly how to use Audacity with USB PnP devices,as this deck is one.This screenshot shows what I need to do.(find the USB Audio codec,and get it to show in the Audio setup in Sound
Prefs.

My last post to myself is wrong.I received a response from Audacity with USB audio Codecs support for Mac OSX on intel Macs.

My only question is,was he using a Powermac G3,G4 or G5 PowerPC based computer to show the USB audio codec installed? Mac Intel with OSX does not have USB audio codec in it's sound codecs anymore,nor does it support this codec anymore for usb record recorders & Tape recorders.
From Audacity:
Sorry, but that is just not true:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2274/_index.html .
It must be PPC only to work with Audacity.Ask any user with problems finding this codec to install and you will find they have an intel based Mac.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Add to your list of unsupported Cassette players. Pyle PT-659DU. There will be other models similar to this one with the same issue.I had to go analog RCA to work properly with Audacity.
See: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/User:BillWharrie/OSX_and_USB_input_devices
Pyle devices most likely just use the Mac's USB audio class driver as above.
However if your device's manual says you need to install a special driver for
Mac, you should do that.
In many cases, it's as simple as replacing the USB cable.

Is it possible to rename USB AUDIO CODEC to something more memorable?

Hi there
My system is getting very confusing with so many selectable USB AUDIO CODECs all named
"USB Audio Codec"
(USB Alesis M1Active 520USB Speakers, Yamaha Audiogram3 USB Audio Interface)
Is it possible to rename them so I know which one is which as I'm spending so much time going through each one to find the right Input/Output.
Thanks!

My guess is that OS X gets that name from the driver of that Device itself. If that is the case, then you can't rename it. This is the same problem with various MIDI devices that are displayed in Logic with the weirdest names.
However,
you can use a trick if you really want to rename a device so when you open GarageBand it says "My beloved Device". Create an Aggregate Device in the Audio MIDI utility with only that one device. The advantage is that you can rename an Aggregate Device - Voila.
Hope that helps

Error: A Error Occured While Trying to Update The Default Audio File Type

Whenever I do anything in the preferences, when I back out and close the prefs, I get this error:
"An error occured while updating the default audio player for audio file types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
I do have Admin rights on my own computer. This happens with 6.0.4 which I just installed.

The problem is not with the template.
It seems to be a problem in that particular instance.
Uploaded it in a different instance.
However once i run the program, i cannot view the output as the browser window flashes and disappears.
My colleague says , it is to do with the trusted site to download something from the browser.
Can you please guide me on how to fix this ?

I only can record sound using microphone line in. Please help.

Eric,
Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.

Is it possible to update the comments field once receiving is done

Hi All,
Can anyone of You help on this.
We have done the receiving against one PO. The material is receipt and delivered in the Inventory.
User has enter in-correct details in the comment field (both at header and line level) during receiving.
Now we need to update the comments section with some new commnets.
Apart from backend/ database update, is it possible to update the comments section since receiving is already done. Please suggest some alternate option.
Thanks
Sujay

Hi Sujay,
You won't be able to update the comments once received.
Alternate approach: Perform correction transactions to reverse all the receiving transactions and re-receive again entering correct comments.
Thanks,
PS.
