L/R audio channels reversed when over HDMI

Hi!
I hope someone could help me with this.
For some reason all audio going from the HDMI output of my Macbook Pro Retina has Left/RIght channels reversed.
Yes, I checked further commutation and when the same cable is connected to another source it works fine.
Thanks!

having to export the audio to an audio editor
I guess that is your best/only option. Use 48 kHz AIF audio in the export/import process.

CS3 audio channel problem when importing to CS5

I have an HD P2 file-based project which I edited on CS3 which I now need to open in CS5. The P2 footage does not import and I get the following message:
'The selected file cannot be linked because it has 1 audio channel(s) and the clip has 2 audio channel(s)'
I tried importing the project instead of opening it and I get the same message.
I have also tried to offline all the material and see if I can re-link them. Unfortunately I cannot re-link the bin footage as I renamed them all to something meaningful for organisational purposes (eg 'Bill_says_hello' ) as opposed to the rather random naming of P2 files (such as 000R4X.mxf) so I don't know what bin file links with what P2 file, and there are about 2000 of them!
So either there is a way to view the original names of the bin files so I can match them up, or better still, another easier way to retrieve them or open them up automatically.
Without a solution to this, I have just lost months of work so any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion, Simon.
But finding to the first missing file brings up that message about the number of audio channels available which is still puzzling me, andthen making me link to them one by one. Not only is it tedious but I know it was stereo before and now it's mono !
I am sure when we recorded it our excellent sound guy would not made it mono so for some reason CS5 is not recognising the full gamut of sound channels recorded. So I am losing a lot of the sound, which is not good to say the least. I may have to start a new thread as to discover why.

No audio on TV when using HDMI

Hello,
I just bought the Satellite P875-S7200 and I connected it to my HDTV using HDMI. The problem is there is no sound coming out on the TV but there is sound on the laptop.
I've checked the Playback Devices when you right-click the speaker icon from the taskbar and I don't see any HDMI option in there.
How can you switch the audio out to the HDMI?
Please help. Thank you very much.

I've checked the Playback Devices .. and I don't see any HDMI option in there.
Right-click in that box and make sure you have the two items shown below checked.

No audio channels (only video) when converting/exporting media formats

Hi,
Last year i bought a license for quicktime 7 but i still have problems when converting.
Als with the new iTunes7 the problem still relies.
When i am converting a mpeg file to the m4v in iTunes the problem is the same.
It doens't matter which media format i get, but after the conversion is done... there are no audio channels!
When u look at the movie info option in the quicktime menu, you can see an video channel, but no audio. the orginal files do get video and audio channels...
about 6 months ago i contacted apple support for this, but the problem still relies..
Does anybody know a fix or maybe Apple can investigate this important bug!! In the past i have used Videora iPod coverter that does the job correct and muchhh faster, but i want quicktime to do that!!!
Regards,
Rick Beemsterboer

Quicktime has never exported the sound from muxed mpeg-1 or -2 files: QT Mpeg Limitations
You can run a separate demuxer to get the audio stream out or just use this freeware that exports both video and audio from mpegs to other formats: Mpeg StreamClip

Mxf with 8 audio channels

Hey guys,
I`m editing a TV-Spot with Premiere CS6 and have to export it as a MXF OP1a (SMPTE 378M) (suffix .mxf) with 8 audio channels.
When exporting it with Pr the mxf has only two audio channels (I have re-imported it into Pr for checking the channels)
How do I get an mxf with 8 audio channels?
I`m a bit stranded as I`ve to finish it until tomorrow....
(video signal compliance: ITU-R BT.709)
Thanks so far!

Go to the Audio tab on the Export Settings dialog. There you can select the number of channels in the MXF export.

785GT-E63 - Audio over HDMI

Hello All,
I couldn't find this info anywhere, and am hoping that folks here can assist me.
Does this board support audio over HDMI?
I would like to use this board in HTPC setup.
Thank You!!!

Hello!
Speaking of info. - Please describe your system in some detail, and do not forget to mention the specs of your PSU. There is a sticker on the PSU box.
Generally HDMI transports sound, yes.
Thanks for the reply.
My set-up is pretty simple.
Besides the new MB and CPU (which i got at a great deal on $115 for both) all the components are being recycled from other PCs.
MSI - 785GT-E63
Athlon II 630
2x512MB of DDR2 Ram
Thermaltake TR2 430W PSU
nMEDIAPC HTPC Case 6000B
Windows 7 Ultimate
1.5TB Segate HDD
2TB Hitachi HDD
Video capture card (don't know the specs)
I do not have a dedicated video card, and for my purposes i don't think i need one.
I would like this HTPC to output audio to a 5.1 channel system powered by Onkyo TX-SR507 Receiver through HDMI
This will be used to watch 720/1080p video downloads, brows pictures, basic online browsing and maybe convert some of my old family VHS videos.

Simultaneous audio over HDMI and line out optical

Anyone know if this is possible on the new mini?
I currently use an AppleTV with HDMI to TV and optical digital to my older surround processor which does not accept HDMI.
AppleTV is useful in that it outputs audio simultaneously over all audio connections - I suspect new Mac Mini might only allow single audio output at a time.

...I assume by saying this you're implying you can deliver video over HDMI but audio over toslink through the line out i.e. audio out to non-HDMI destinations is not automatically disabled by an active HDMI connection...
Correct. You choose your audio output in the sound control panel (or Option-click on the sound icon in toolbar).
That's ideal then really.
...- that would then allow HDMI video to TV, toslink to AV processor, and analogue audio from AV processor to TV analogue audio in to use when you only need the audio via TV speakers...
I doubt the TV will take an analog audio in at the same time as HDMI video in. It likely only accepts analog audio on inputs that are also analog for video (component, s-video, composite).
You're right, unlilely to be configurable for HDMI, there might be the odd set that allowed something like this but in general most wouldn't.
...A small utility/script might be feasible to toggle between the two on the Mini...
Yes, entirely possible.
Another option would be to do what I do: Disable the TV speakers and use the receiver for all sound. Since TV speakers suck, this is a great option. I haven't used built-in TV speakers for at least 15 years.
I generally do that too, just sometimes for late night listening when others are in bed I switch to the TV speakers, but actually it'd be far easier with no TV audio as you'd not run into those instances when both TV and hi-fi are outputting and messing up the audio effect entirely.

Z68MA-ED55 (B3) - Realtek HD Audio over HDMI

Does anyone know if the motherboard Z68MA-ED55 (B3) is able to get HD Audio out from the HDMI connection?
When I installed the Realtek HD codec I only see listed two digital outs: optical and atapi. (which I don't know what atapi is for)
I think my motherboard need bios updates as mine is in version A1, and the latest A4 seems to fix some audio tables (which I don't know what it means neither..
Anyone has HD audio over HDMI for this board or advice about what to try?
thanks
Update:
Seems my board should support HDMI HD Audio out..
From MSI board document:
Chip integrated by Realtek® ALC892
Download the manual at: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z68MA-ED55--B3-.html#?div=Manual

Any luck getting HD audio to work over HDMI?

No audio over HDMI

So, I generally use Windows via Bootcamp on my 2012 Macbook Pro (15"), and I frequently hook it up to my projector and media center via an HDMI cable. Everything was working perfectly up until three days ago, when suddenly the laptop wouldn't send audio over HDMI. On the Windows side, I spent a couple days doing everything the internet said I should try (reinstalling drivers, rolling back drivers and updates, managine audio output devices, etc.) and never got anything. My graphics driver could see the HDMI device and said that there should be an HDMI device on my sound control, but it never showed up.
I figured it was a problem with Windows, so I jumped over to the Mac side, where I'm running Mavericks. Just like the Windows side, video works flawlessly but there's no audio output. In Preferences, under "Sound" and "Output", I only see the speakers of my laptop and one AirPlay-compatible device that's set up in the room. Headphones work great. But there's no way to send audio over HDMI.
Just to be safe, I installed a fresh version of Windows and a fresh version of Mavericks, and I'm still not getting anything. Is there something that I'm missing? Because right now it feels like it's a hardware issue, but there's no reason that it should be. And I'm confused about why I still have perfect HDMI video if it is a hardware issue.
Any help on the issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I should mention, by the way, that I ruled out issues with my HDMI cable or other hardware. I have tried multiple cables with the same results, and my roommates can all send audio over HDMI without problems.

Reverse audio channels (PCI express X-Fi titanium)

2Reverse audio channels (PCI express X-Fi titanium)& Hi,
Today I bought an X-Fi titanium *hoping* it would have the option in the drivers to reverse my left channel to right channel and vice versa.
I have gone through a lot of trouble trying to achieve this and would definitely appreciate the help in finding a solution.
Why do I need this? When playing games I hear everything reversed *IN MY HEAD*. If I hear something left... it's actually on the right. Thats why I have to either reverse my speakers or wear my headphones backwards. BUT... I have a 00$ headset that doesnt allow me to reverse my headset because it only wears one way.
My game doesnt allow me to reverse the stereo. Does the creative X-Fi software/driver allow this in *any* way?
I appreciate the help!

VLC media player can reverse than stereo chanels for music and movies but i don't know of a way to apply it to games. [email protected]

10.7.1 Audio over HDMI Problem

Hi All,
Here is a breif history of my problems with audio over HDMI. From 10.6.3 to 10.6.7 everything was working great. I have a mid 2010 i7 iMac hooked up via HDMI to a Marantz receiver which is in turn hooked up to a Panny TV. Everything worked as it should, audio went out to the receiver and video to the TV. Then the upgrade to 10.6.8 began the trouble. On the Marantz, I have a visual representation of the audio input. The unit showed that the audio was intermittently "flashing out". That was confirmed while listening to the output of the iMac via the Marantz. The image to the Panny was solid. I tried a variety of fixes (grabbing system files from 10.6.7, PRAM reset, etc.) all to no avail. So I reverted back to 10.6.7. Recently I tried again. Upgraded to 10.6.8 and applied the supplimental update that was supposed to fix the audio over HDMI issue. No good there either. I got the same audio dropping out problem. So I figured I'd go all out and try to upgrade to Lion. The upgrade went smoothly but the problem has morphed a bit. Now when the Marantz is on the iMac input, the iMac doesn't output audio or video ver HDMI. The moment I switch to another input on the Marantz (DVD for example) the iMac senses a switch and outputs audio and video. (At least that is what Display and Sound preferences indicate, as I'm not on the correct input on the receiver, I have no way to verify that anything is actually happening). So I'm back to square one. Do I downgrade back to 10.6.7? Any opinions or similar experiences out there? TIA!!

If anyone's curious, I seemed to have solved the problem the other night. I simply switched the HDMI input on the receiver. Previously it was going into the "game" HDMI input, and I switched it to the "DVD" HDMI input. I'm not really sure why that made a difference. As I mentioned before, all was fine under 10.6.7. Perhaps under 10.6.8 and later, Apple changed the HDCP and the Marantz can only make sense out of it on a "traditional video input" (ie DVD). That's the only explanation I can come up with. Oh well, all's well that end's well I guess.
Thanks.

Problems with FLAC 5.1 audio over HDMI and mpv

The last mpv update (0.7) seems to have changed the way it gets info about the audio playback device.
Last week, I could play videos with FLAC 5.1 audio over HDMI without any problem. My .asoundrc was just:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
But after the last update, if I try to play a video while the default pcm device is set to HDMI, I get this error:
mpv: ../audio/chmap_sel.c:89: mp_chmap_sel_add_map: Assertion `s->num_chmaps < (sizeof(s->chmaps) / sizeof((s->chmaps)[0]))' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
I tried downmixing, since the problem seems the number of channels.
I added this to my .asoundrc:
pcm.!surround51 {
type vdownmix
slave.pcm "default"
pcm.!surround40 {
type vdownmix
slave.pcm "default" {
Now mpv starts without errors but I hear no sound.
Everything is fine in mplayer, even without the downmixing in .asoundrc
What should I add to my .asoundrc so that mpv recognises the playback device correctly?

So this is merely a mpv problem.
Good to know, I'll just wait for the update

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.
I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
I get video every time. HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
just no audio. Any suggestions?
I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

Claudiamil-
I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did. I'm using a small Vizio HDTV. I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers. In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down. Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

How do I separate audio channels to edit them seperatly ... they are both in the same clip when I record from two diffrent mics on two diffrent channels

I do not see a way to separate audio channels to edit them separately in Premiere Elements (any version).
Premiere Elements does have audio effects including Balance, Fill Right/Fill Left, and Swap channels, but that is not what you are seeking.
I would refer you to an audio editor such as the free Audacity for what you want to do.
Splitting and Joining Stereo Tracks - Audacity Manual
I am not sure if this is close to what you seek
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/883383
But, the opportunity seems to be in Premiere Pro, not Premiere Elements
Please review and consider and then let me your thinking on the matter relating to your Premiere Elements 12 (what operating system).
Thanks.

Dropped and glitched sound with dv9700 when watching Blu-Ray over HDMI connected to receiver

I have hooked my dv9730nr up to my receiver (Onkyo TX-SR606) via HDMI, which then passes video through HDMI to my Panasonic plasma. When I do this, Blu-Rays have an audio glitch every 4-6 seconds, which sounds like either quick repeated sounds or a half-second pause in audio. The audio and video otherwise are great. PowerDVD Ultra reports that I am outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital via PCM, and the sound from my speakers support this. With other video, including 1080p .WMVs that I've made myself, there is no problem. I've disabled the laptop's monitor, and am only using the TV as my display. When I bypass the receiver, and hook my laptop straight into my TV via HDMI, there is no problem, but my TV has no built-in speakers, so no audio is being passed via HDMI. I have no other receivers with HDMI to test my laptop, so I'm not sure that that the problem is not with the receiver. I've tried disabling all audio output modes except for 24bit 48KHz under Realtek Digital Output in the Playback Devices control panel.
I'm not worried about this, since I have a dedicated Sony Blu-Ray played on the way, but I am disappointed in the HDMI audio performance of this laptop. I suspect the problem lies in the Realtek HD Audio drivers, or something wrong with the related hardware on the motherboard. I updated my drivers from v6.0.1.5494 A to v6.0.1.5548 A, with no change. I will try driver Vista_R213 off the Realtek website, although I'm not sure that this is compatible with my laptop.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit SP1
Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 @ 1.66 Ghz
3 GB RAM
nVidia GeForce 8600M GS
RealTek High Definition Audio

Well slap me twice and call me Sally, it would appear these new Realtek drivers fixed the problem. The drivers can be found here, but be prepared for a slow connection to the Realtek website. Now I can indeed enjoy video and sound the way it's meant to be done via Blu-Ray, kudos Realtek for fixing this problem.
