KN9 Platinum - is audio output via both SPDIF ports possible??

I am looking at this board because it has both an optical and coaxial SPDIF output - can you tell me whether these can be plugged into and used simultaneously for HD Audio output. ie I want to be able to output a single digital audio stream from an application like PowerDVD via both connections.
Note this is not about multi streams from different applications - just a single stream via both SPDIF ports.
For an HTPC setup I want to be able to take the optical SPDIF output to a surround sound receiver and the coaxial SPDIF output into an HDMI enabled graphics card which includes audio input so I can then take both video/audio to another monitor.
Thanks for your help.
Ben

Yes, audio will do this video won't.

  • HDMI Audio Output via Mini Display Port to Sharp Aquos TV cuts out every 10 seconds

    I haven't had an issue til I recently did a software update to my Mac Pro. 
    I have two mini-display ports on the back of my machine but always have been able to listen to audio from the HDMI connection without an issue. Anyone else having this issue?  I checked and reset all the setting on my Television and get prompted that a icompatible PCMI audio signal is being recieved.
    PLEASE HELP!
    Thanks!

    I have seen one report that this is an acknowledged bug in OS10.6.8, the only cure for now is reverting OS:

  • Audio output and left USB port is not working!

    Hi! I have MacBook Air 13" late 2010, Audio output and left USB port is not working!
    What happened?
    Part No.: Z0JH000TE RS

    If the left USB port doesnt work with an external mouse its seems to be a hardware malfunction of this USB port.
    The newest BIOS is already installed?
    Have you removed all USB ports from device manager and restarted your notebook?
    If you have already tried this, contact an authorized service provider. The guys can try to fix this issue and it should be covered by warranty, if you still have warranty on this notebook. :)

  • Is audio output via HDMI and componet cables possible?

    When I watch movie I want audio through my TV speakers (via HDMI). That way I can control the volume through my TV remote.
    When the TV is off and when I want to listen to music, i want audio to go to my Creative Labs "stereo" via audio component cables.
    Is it possible to have both HDMI and audio component cables plugged in at the same time? to different sources and both outputting audio (not at the same time)?
    thanks

  • Simultanious audio output from both mini Displayport and Audio Output port?

    Hey guys,
    I was wondering if someone who already has audio+video output through the mini displayport set up can be so kind and answer the following questions for me:
    Can audio be output simultaniously from 3.5mm audio port as well as the mini displayport? That is, if I output both video and audio to my reciever through the 2010 iMac's mini Diplayport, can i use the standard audio output port to provide line input for a further set of (active) speakers (analog would be fine)?
    In the case both outputs CANNOT work simultaniously, which one will work if i have both plugged in? If the mini displayport has higher rank (or priority or what whatever i should call the one that works when both outputs are plugged in), and the reciever it is plugged into is switched off, will audio automatically switch to the standard audio port? Same question goes if the standard audio output port has higher rank/priority?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Just in case you are wondering why the heck i would wanna do that, here's some background:
    I am planning on setting up my new 27' iMac on a 'work' desk in my bedroom, where i can comfortably sit and work on the computer as well as use the beautiful screen as my bedroom TV. Since i also wanna use my mac for all my living room multimedia needs (movies, tv shows, music, etc), i plan on running a long (15m) audio+video HDMI cable all the way up to my reciever in my living room. Furthermore, i am also planning on running a USB cable to the living room (through something of this sort: http://www.coolgear.com/images/171632pro.jpg) plugged in to a usb hub mainly for mouse/keyboard availability in the living room, but also for other things such as external hard drives and so on. The problem is that, apart from having my audio play in the living room, i also want to provide line input to my reference monitors that will be located at the iMac desk and i obviously much prefer i get the line input directly from the mac rather than running a third cable from reciever back to the speakers.

    Anyone?
    Is that so few people are using the new mini displayport for audio, or did i ask the wrong way?
    Help will be greatly appriciated as i need this info in order to plan my purchases!

  • Audio output through mini display port

    2009 model macbook air 2,1. Is there an update or video card that will allow audio output using Moshi HDMI adapter?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
    Only the most recent late 2010 MacBook Airs support audio over Mini Display Port.
    For an older machine, you'll need something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Mini-DisplayPort-HDMI-Adapter-Audio/dp/B0033SM2BQ/ref=sr_1 _14?ie=UTF8&qid=1306806721&sr=8-14 or this: http://www.amazon.com/Displayport-Toslink-Female-Converting-Adapter/dp/B003BS2PF G/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_5

  • Is there a VI which reads audio signals off optical SPDIF port?

    Hi,
    I am trying to capture audio signals from a DAT unit on to the computer's hard drive. Could you please tell me how can I read these signals off an optical SPDIF port using Labview and save the streamed data as a wav file? I am using an audio capturing interface called the Edirol UA-5 to transfer the audio signals from the DAT unit to the Mac's hard drive.
    Thanks,
    Bhuvana

    Hi Bhuvana,
    There are not any VIs in LabVIEW designed specifically for SPDIF.  There is, however, a tutorial on reading an SPDIF signal using LabVIEW FPGA.  You may also be interested in this thread which discusses the use of a digital data acquisition board and the rate needed to read an SPDIF signal.

  • Z77a GD65 simultaneous audio output via digital and analog jack?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if it is possible to use the digital audio spdif out, and the green 3,5mm jack (I use it for my headphones) at the same time?
    When I use the digital out, and I run a 'test' with the analog out, I can hear the test signal so technically it should work.
    However, I can't find the right settings to actually use both outputs (same source: for instance iTunes) at the same time.
    Any advice? Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Jeroen

    My old msi cuba 7301 from 2007 has an spdif output, and I was able to use this digital out together with the 3,5mm line out (which I used for my headphones) simultaneously. I understand what you're saying, but I'd say the user should decide in what way he/she wants to use the product  . Technically, it shouldn't be a problem, since I can hit the 'test' button and hear the sounds through my headphones via 3,5mm stereo out, while playing music through the digital out.
    Anyone from MSI who knows the answer? If it was possible in 2007...
    Thanks for your answer

  • Mutli channel audio output via usb?

    Hi there
    I've had a browse through the support forums and can't find an answer to my question, so here it is:
    I want to split the audio channels through the internal soundcard (I have an ibook g4) so that I can use audio mixing software.
    Before I go out and buy some usb speakers, I was wondering if connecting speakers through the usb port would automatically do this - or, is there a way to assign an output route for each channel within the computer?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks

    You'll need a "usb soundcard" that you can purchase from both apple store or just google it and I'm sure they have them all over the place (ebay, thinkgeek, ect). The built in soundcard is a 2 channel 44khz sound card with 1 output and 1 input via the built in microphone. Also, the only usb speakers I have ever seen are just usb powered, but they still plug in to the headphone plug.

  • Mono audio input from lapel mic - how to create audio output in both channels?

    I'm recording audio with mono lapel mic, i.e. only one channel.
    I need output audio in the finished movie to play in both channels.
    Can that be done in FCP X, and how.
    Thanks a bunch.

    Thanks, David.
    So, if I have talent A on the left channel of the video, and talent B on the right channel of the same stereo recording...
    can I pan each of these "mono" sides centered so they both come out the left and right sides ?

  • Audio output via firewire

    I can not get audio working through firewire on my late 2013 MacBook Pro 13".
    If I test channels in channel setup it gives me static, but if I play iTunes od Spybot nothing happens.
    Internal speakers work fine.
    Any ideas what to do?

    I am connecting it through the firewire thunderbolt adapter. Then firewire 400/800 cable, because Presonus mixer has Firewire s400 port.
    Funny is that iTunes worked fine in the morning. Then I started to check why I can not play Youtube through firewire. From Audio MIDI Setup - Presonus Firestudio - Output - Configure Speakers I changed Multichannel channels. That was all I changed.

  • Can I play audio output through both my iMac speakers and Apple TV simultaneously?

    I have Bose speakers conected to the headphone jack on my iMac.  When I select Airplay Mirroring on the iMac, the Bose speakers become disabled as audio is then streamed to Apple TV which resides in another room?  Is there any workaround which will give me audio to both the headphone jack and Apple TV simultaneously? Thanks.

  • GarageBand audio output via bluetooth

    Hi,
    I have a Bluetooth A2DP headset and when connected to iPad I can play songs and video. However GarageBand does still output audio to iPad speakers.
    Request some one to help
    Regards,
    Harsha Kodnad

    Not really. You can play the audio through Bluetooth, but the latency is huge and it's impossible to play any instruments live. All you can do is listen to recorded sessions.

  • No midi control in GB '08 with keyboard via Alesis io2, & no output via io2

    The lengthy title sums up the two key issues I'm having.
    I'm using an Alesis io2 USB interface, to run guitars and midi controller keyboards (goldstar MK49 & Terratec Midimaster Pro) into GB '08.
    There're no problems getting the guitar into GB and my Guitar Rig 3 plugin, and no noticeable latency on monitoring via the system output (active speakers from headphone output). Until three days, ago I was also using the keyboards to successfully control software instruments in GB.
    In detail, the issues I'm experiencing are:
    *1) MIDI Keyboard*
    After attempting to create a new aggregated audio/midi device in the Audio Midi Setup utility, I can no longer get the keyboards to work. I get intermittent notes at random and also when using the keyboard data sliders, but mostly silence. Previously I had no problems with velocity sensitivity, note, modulation, pitch or track level control. Now, I'm getting nothing other than random notes.
    It appears that GB, my MacBook or both are now unable to make any sense of the midi data they're receiving. I've deleted the aggregated device via the same utility but still no control. I've not yet found a 'MIDI reset' option in system prefs or the audio/midi utility. Any suggestions how I get my bits of gear talking to each other again?
    *2) Audio output via Alesis io2*
    SInce getting this USB interface I have been unable to route any audio back out of my MacBook through it; either to headphones from the built-in headphone jack, or monitors from the 'main L/R' connections. System prefs and the audio/midi utility both see the io2 as a device with 2x ins and 2x outs, but both tell me the device has no output controls.
    Creating a new aggregate device didn't work, so any ideas how to resolve this one? Also, could creating this new aggregate device have contributed to my first issue?
    Any advice would be gratefully received.
    Thanks in advance.

    I would start by trying the i/o 2 with garageband in another user account to find out if it's a local or global problem.
    Then with the alesis plugged in make sure that all your settings in the audio/midi setup utility are correct for the device.
    A class compliant device means if they build the interface to a agreed upon spec it will be recognized and be able to use the apple driver (core audio). It did work because you were able to use it and change it's function when making it part of aggregate device.
