Lacking preferred audio device setting in SPA525G/G2

...according to page 28 in the user guide here http://cisco.biz/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/csbpipp/ip_phones/user/guide/spa300-500-uc320w/SPA300-500-UC320W_UG_78-19372.pdf it's not supposed to be there. For the rest of the 50x-series and 9xx-series it's there, but not for the 525G/G2. This is quite troublesome when used with autoanswer. The phone remembers your last choice of audio device as long as it's booted but it occasionally reboots and that seem to set the default device back to speaker. Quite troublesome in a callcenter environment where all pickups are done via auto answer from a desktop application. Is there any way of setting this in the 525G/G2 to always be headset?

I have an enhancement request (CSCun63070) which should be in place around November. We'll need to wait until then to have such options. Look for the next releases.

Steam (flashplayerplugin.so) not respecting preferred audio device.

So I have this bizarre issue with the latest steam update, by default I've configured everything to output audio through my usb audio device (because the internal sound card is a PoS), this works for everything including steam or rather it did work for steam up until the last update.
Now steam brazenly ignores my audio preferences and outputs to speakers instead of my usb audio device (where my headphones are plugged in) and I can not find any way to change this (steam lacks any sort of configuration on this matter and between pavucontrol and alsamixer I can't find any solution (oh and the gnome volume control applet which seems like a dolled up stripped version of pavucontrol; sure it's pretty but that's about it, it leaves a lot to be desired in what features it offers (not to mention that the fastest way I've figured out how to start it is to open the main settings menu, clicking the settings icon and then clicking the volume control thing, that's a lot of pointless mouse movement when I should have that volume control button on the main menu as sound controls are commonly used... but I digress.)
I suspect the issue might be with the flasplayerplugin (although it hasn't been recently updated you never know with a binary blob from adobe) but it is also likely to be steam (which on that matter definitely needs more settings to play with, and a retry connection button for when it loses connection)

Okay, after more experimentation it seems to only happen in the store now, embedded youtube players work fine.
This is quite perplexing (unless the steam browser supports the youtube html5 player in which case I'd definitely say libflashplayer.so is at fault)

Cube won't process iTunes without an audio device present?

Hi.
I've got a G4 Cube with no built-in Audio inputs or outputs (don't have the original USB speakers), so Tiger shows up as having no audio I/O options. I'm trying to use iTunes, with Nicecast, to broadcast some music, but because of the lack of audio devices iTunes (6.0.3) simply won't play - the play icon changes but the time doesn't progress and nothing is processed.
Does anyone know if a way to fool the Cube into thinking there's an audio device, so that it plays and is processed by CoreAudio? A software-only audio device or something? Would rather avoid having to buy some USB speakers just to get this to work.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Don't know about software doing the job because it's a mechanical interface. Any sound output will require USB or Firewire devices. Griffin Technology iMic USB Audio Interface is one inexpensive way to 'trick' the Cube into thinking there are speakers. It costs about $35, Google for prices.
Just plug it in, the Cube will see an output, set sound pref's and the program will work. Later, if you want speakers, you can get a cheap set and plug it into the iMic.

Dave

FMLE won't detect audio devices

FMLE won't detect any of my audio devices even when I set them to default device. It only detects my microphone, and I've searched online for many fixes and to no avail.

Pretty much same issue. I usually have my audio device set to "what u hear" for streaming (on creative soundcard), so I can pick up both my mic and ingame audio. However a couple weeks back it just stopped registering "what u hear" and won't pick it up at all (even though ive tested in the creative console and it's definitely working), will only let me set to just my microphone. Have found no fixes anywhere =/

Can firefox change audio device preference without restarting?

I use my PC as a home theatre as well as for day to day usage, and have multiple audio devices.
For most usage, I route the sound through on-board audio (realtek) but for watching movies, I run it through the ATI HDMI output to the TV.
Currently, in order to watch a movie, I have to shut down Firefox, change windows prefered audio device, then restart Firefox.
Can I change the device preferences somehow within Firefox without restarting it?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Set default audio device?

Prior to installing OSX Yosemite, the system audio output would be automatically switched to my USB audio device as soon as it was plugged in and detected by the OS. In Yosemite, I have to manually switch the output from Internal Speakers to the USB device.
Is there a way to force the setting to change on its own, as it did before?

Hello
I do not want to hard wire the Ipod HIFI. I understand that if I used the line out feature the system would recognize the device. I would like the system to recognize a remote speaker connected by wireless network and to accept this remote speaker as the default audio device. Not likely but should be an option.

I don't believe you can do this with just Java code, but as you suggested running a utility using runtime.exec() is a possiblity. I believe there is also lots of example C/C++ code that could be modifed to be used by Java / JNI. I found several examples using a google search.
Here is a URL of a utility that could be used for your purpose. I did not see source code or support information, so if this is an important I would google for something that might be "safer" in the long run.

Set an iPod HIFI as the default audio device

Hello
Just "switched".
I want to bypass the internal speaker to use an Ipod HIFI as my default sound device.
Currently it is not recognized under System Preferences as it is commicating with my iMacvia airport express.
Any way to get this listed under "Choose a device..."

[FINALLY SOLVED] "Audio device not detected by EAX Console/Speaker Setting Panel" Prob

PROBLEM: A message pops up saying "The audio device supported by this application is not detected" when clicking on any Creative Utilities like EAX Console or the Speakers Control Panel.
SOLUTION: After 6 hours of trying out all solution advices/attempts for the problem above, I figured that there are only 2 ways to get rid of this issue.
[color="#ff0000"]st way: Kill your whole system, by doing format C:
[color="#800000">2nd way: Follow this advice from Shag:

How to set default audio device for java apps on Linux?

I would like to find a way to choose a particular (ALSA) audio device for java applications. How can this be done without reprogramming the application or changing the default ALSA device? I came across "sound.properties", but could not find any information how to use this file on an ALSA system.
Thanks for any help, Mark

Eugenia wrote:Well, it's still not good enough.
We can't satisfy everyone. What you want is a corner case. For most people ALSA and dmix works appropriately, and that is what esd uses by default. We cannot document and automate every configuration possible. That's up to the users.
However, if you don't want to restart gnome, try the below... I make a few assumptions, but even if they're wrong, they're hardly difficult to work around.
Just copy the /etc/esd.conf to ~/.esd.conf, make your change, then do killall esd. Presumably gnome will restart esd, and it ought to read your local config. If it doesnt, start it yourself.
Feel free to write a script that automates this, or document it on the wiki.
I have to restart Gnome to get this thing working. Other OSes *automatically* can use an alternative device. But if I change ESD, I will have to restart Gnome, no?
Well, if you try my suggestion above, no. You can restart esd yourself. And that's what all the other distros do, except with some fancy GUI.

How to automatically share/mix the audio device?

I'm using Arch with LXDE on a Core i5. The sound card is an Intel 6 series / C200 controller (just a DMA engine, really.) Most programs these days seem to use ALSA. This includes some simple programs I write, as well as utilities like "espeak."
If a program I've written happens to be playing some sound, while I try to use another program (say, "espeak") that also uses ALSA, only the first program works, and the second program errors out. This has all the convenience of using a Sound Blaster under Windows 3.1! :-)
Surely, there exists some configuration option or package or kernel module I can install to make the system mix any and all programs that use ALSA to play sounds? What am I missing?

I used to love hardware mixing sound cards ten years ago, but as CPUs get faster, it's gotten to the point where it doesn't matter, and certain things (like echo cancellation supported at the OS level) really require the OS to be in control.
Regarding re-initializing the device: I don't see why it would take a full second. DMA is fast, codecs are fast. I've written probably ten different sound card drivers in my life, and none has been even close to a second in setup time. However, I'd be perfectly happy if the only cause for going bit perfect is needing to output AC3 to the SPDIF output. For everything else, run the card at 48 (or whatever is preferred) and however many speakers are connected, and convert all the incoming audio. If the card can't detect speakers connected vs not, default to stereo, and let the user configure it if it's wrong. This will make things Just Work (tm)!
To be clear, a reasonable default behavior might be:
0) The lowest-numbered sound card is default, if not user-configured differently.
1) If the default card can detect speakers plugged in, configure itself for that set of speakers. If not, configure itself for stereo, if not user-configured differently.
2) Set the default playback frequency to 48 kHz if supported, else the highest frequency that's supported, if not user-configured differently.
3) When applications open the device, just say "yes" to whatever is requested, and do software re-sampling/mixing to the default format, if not user-configured differently.
4) If applications ask for formats, propose the default playback frequency at the default playback number of channels at floating-point sample format.
5) Use a 7-tap polyphase filter for resampling if not configured differently; this gives a great quality/performance trade-off using SIMD implementations. (15 years ago, we used a 4-tap Hermite interpolator, which had higher distortion and lower runtime cost on Pentium II, but time has moved on :-)
6) If a USB audio device or other hotplug device (such as bluetooth) is plugged in, switch to that device, if not user-configured differently. Note that with software mixing, nothing needs to change for applications that are already playing.
Pulseaudio? That would work, if it actually emulated the device driver interface that most applications actually use to play back sound. And it doesn't *have* to be a user-level process; doing mixing/converting in kernel space is perfectly fine assuming we have decent real-time support now. We don't even need to have interrupts disabled while doing it. Double buffers of 512 samples would be plenty for most cases and still have sufficiently low latency to not annoy game players or movie watchers.
Alternatively, the problem is that Linux applications still use the ALSA audio API rather than PulseAudio. But, given that that's the case, there are totally possible solutions that would make life a lot better on average, and no worse in the corner cases.
This is not rocket science -- it's technology that should have existed 15 years ago, and the fact that the Linux community at large hasn't bothered to solve it is a symptom of an attitude that's a barrier to meaningful desktop Linux adoption in the mainstream. And I'm saying this with love :-)
Is there a shim /dev/audio driver which can re-mix/re-route audio to a real hardware device, based on that device's capabilities? Or would the right dmix setting for alsa actually be able to accomplish this? (I imagine such a dmix wouldn't be able to adapt to things like detecting plugged in speakers/headphones, though)

"AMD HDMI Output -AMD High Definition Audio Device not plugged in

i have an HP Pavilion dv6-6110us laptop. i have had this laptop for less than 1 month and the sound is not working at all. I checked to make sure nothing was muted, i uninstalled the soundcard and reinstalled it on Device Manager, and still, I cannot manage to get the sound back on. the audio settings says "AMD HDMI Output -AMD High Definition Audio Device not plugged in) ..but i have no clue how to "plug it in". Help!!!?

Hey! You essentially have two sound cards, including the HDMI. First, make sure you're using the ATI graphics card, and not the Intel, when you want to use the HDMI.
Next, go to Windows Control Panel\Sound
On the playback tab (which shows by default), WHEN YOUR HDMI IS PLUGGED IN AND WORKING, you should see two playback devices: Your internal sound card/speakers, and the AMD HDMI. All you need to do is switch between the playback device you want the sound to be channelled to. You can switch this at any time. I do this when watching in the other room via my projector, or in my comp. room. Just select the HDMI sound device and choose the button on bottom-middle "Set Default". This will change the "default device" tag to below the HDMI playback device. To reset, either unplug the HDMI, or switch it here. This is always the first place you should look when you have sound issues.
Because I switch quite often, I have a shortcut link on my desktop to this sound menu, for quick switching.
If this doesn't work, make sure you have drivers for your ATI video card installed. Check you exact model and make sure your bios is up to date. They have made for switchable graphics now, which is much preferable to the previous auto-detect switch. The drivers are updated, as well. The latest HP drivers for the ATI were released in November. You can install these, then install the latest AMD/ATI Mobility Video Driver package over the top to make sure you have the latest video drivers. Either of these packages includes the HDMI audio driver, which you may not have installed.

How do I use 2 Core Audio devices at the same time in Logic w/out switching

Hello, I use the Aardvark Direct Mix usb3 as my audio interface for mic and guitar. I just upgraded to Logic Pro 7 today and was hoping someone could tell me how I could use the Built-in Audio Core Audio driver along with the Direct Mix USB Core Audio Driver at the same time without having to switch Core Audio Driver's and than rebooting Logic. It is very frustrating doing that as well as not being able to hear my Logic audio during playback/record mode when I am trying to record via the USB3. WHat can I do? Thanks! If ther are both core audio, why can I not just use both of them at the same time? Why must a switch back and forth? Thanks!
[email protected]

THanks everyone! awsome article! Thanks for posting it, nh!
The weird thing is, once I go up to the Menu and select Open Aggregate Device Editor in the AUDIO/MIDI setup utility and try to add a new Aggregate Device setup (step # 6 from the link), the only audio device available is the "Built-in Audio". What's weird is when I have the main Audio MIDI Setup utility open, every single drop-down menu/tab has the "Direct Mix USB 3 1.0.9.1" device right beneath the "Built-in Audio" option. To me that says that the core audio device is indeed recognized by my computer (obviously since I can record with it using Logic). Can anyone help me with this one? Any suggestions?
Not that it should matter but, the hardware audio interface that I am using is made by the no-longer-existant company once known as Aardvark. I actually had to purchase a third party Core Audio driver just to have it recognized by OS X.
This is the website where I purchased my audio driver :
http://www.usb-audio.com/
A little more on how this device and it's core audio driver function within Logic . . . (Hopefully this might clarify something I may be screwing up) . . .
I launch Logic with its default Built-in Audio which allows playback of audio from the app. I than go up to Audio Hardware and Drivers and than drop the flip down Driver menu down to the second option, "Direct Mix USB 3 1.0.9.1." Logic than prompts me that I should try to (re)launch Logic Pro to load the appropriate CoreAudio.. I do that. Now I am ready to record guitar through the Direct Mix USB3, I just can't hear anything (unless I use head phones as an output from the Direct Mix).
Anyway, you all probably already knew what I meant so explaining that was pointless. But my question is, if the Driver is obviously recognized by my comp in both the Audio MIDI Setup and in Logic, than why won't the Direct Mix device show up as a possibility for setting up an aggregate device? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Qosmio X770: 4 nVidia HD audio devices in device manager

So i have a few questions...
In my device manager i have [this (screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/NfH5E7p.jpg].
So i have (!) 4 nvidia hd audio and 1 hd realtek audio.
I usually update my nvidia video driver and nvidia hd audio driver is updated every time with it.
But not long ago i decided to find any other updates to my drivers, cause bloody toshiba (we call it that way in Russia) is too lazy to support their laptops. And [found this:(realtek hd R2.70 codec driver )|http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level= 4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false].
Installed it, everything is working fine so far. It is for realtek alc269 (and also many other devices, but for us only alc269 matters) which is the real name of realtek hd audio device in x770 laptops (i checked in program aida64, previously known as everest).
So now i have [this (screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/6HM5mLj.jpg]: version 6.0.1.6662 date 19.06.2012
The previous version that lazy toshiba was glad to provide us with - 6.0.1.6360 [(screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/dUQiPA0.jpg]
So the questions are:
1. Why i have FOUR nvidia hd audio devices in device manager?
2. How can i make nvidia hd audio my primary audio device? Or maybe they are some kind of virtual devices or smth like that.
3. Do you think the idea of installing driver directly from realtek website was bad? There is a disclaimer on their site: To be sure you obtain the full features/customizations provided in your original audio product, please download the latest drivers from your system/motherboard manufacturer's website.
So i invite everyone to test this audio driver with me :)
And a few more things.
In one topic i found this info: moreover, myself and other users of this forum have overclocked their cards from 657/1300/1200 to 800/900/1600 and are very pleased with the results, so try not to overexaggerate
(it is a quote). So I will be happy if someone gives me link to some kind of manual about overclocking 560m gt from our beloved x770.
Also I found a lot of topics about nvidia drivers with angry customers. I don't remember when i first updated video drivers, but i've never had problems with them. When the situation changed? As far as i can understand in 2011 you could't install nvidia drivers directly from nvidia website.
P.S. sorry for my english, i'm from Russia. Also there is some russian on screenshots, hope it won't make your eyes bleed.

At first i want to "thank" moderator about renaming my topic. Original name was: realtek vs nvidia hd audio x770 + update r2.70 question. Where is 2.70 part in the current name? Ok.
Second. To Tonny: I'm not lame user, no need to explain me obvious things).
> {quote:title=Tonny wrote:}{quote}
> > How can i make nvidia hd audio my primary audio device?
> I dont understand why you want to make an device primary?

> Click on the device and choose default.
If there is nvidia hd audio device and it's not some kind of virtual device or controller, i want to test it like primary audio device. Simple curiosity. I love flac etc.,
So I always try to improve sound. And alc269 we have in x770 is also installed in my ANCIENT asus eee pc, so it's very depressing. Also your advice about control panel - sound is not working, i think you know why... There's only speaker device working on realtek hd audio.
> {quote:title=Tonny wrote:}{quote}
> You can use the driver from Realtek since the sound chip is from Realtek.
Yep, of course, but it's my 5th laptop and also i have 2 netbooks (i'm speaking only about portative devices, not pc). I tried to update drivers manually numerous times on my previous devices, and I learned a lesson, that if you install new driver (not from you laptop/whatever support page, but directly from device manufacter's website ) and even if you are absolutely sure that driver is compatible with you device there can be problems. For example, as i've already said realtek alc269 is installed in my qosmio x770 and in my super old asus eee pc. And driver is the same.
Also realtek driver support page has disclaimer: To be sure you obtain the full features/customizations provided in your original audio product, please download the latest drivers from your system/motherboard manufacturer's website. (already was in op-post).
So I only tried to hear from those who has already installed r2.70 realtek update or maybe tested it some way. But the moderator made it impossible renaming the topic.

Could not find supported audio device in AA3

okay so i know its not a good idea to use AA3 with Vista...but other people are doing it so why can't I? I've seen the topic posted before but the threads are pretty much dead and I still have no helpful info. I've scoured this thing with no affective solution. I've installed AA3 on several systems in the past and never had this much trouble--if any. This problem has gone on for over 2 months now!
Since I installed AA3 on my new computer all i can get and all i have ever gotten is the "AA could not find a supported audio device. Please check device settings" dialog--
press okay (or x) and Audition closes---never getting past the loading window --during "initalizing required components"
I have 3 audio devices/ with up to date drivers which all my other audio programs recognize (Audition 1.5, Sonor, Cubase + more) with no problem whatsoever--
AA3
Windows Vista SP1 64 bit
Realtek HD Audio
+ Presonus FP10 digital firewire interface/preamp (kind of unrelated but aa3 still wont recognize it either apparently)
I have installed all updates including the 64-bit SP1 fix for AA3.
I've read the Realtek HD issue solutions and made sure my drivers are fine.
IM DESPERATE----PLEASE!!!
I'm having a recording studio built right now & AA3 is my main DAW so this is rather dire.---All the other DAW's i've tried suck compared to AA3 (with the exception of stability). hehe AA3 is always crashing on me and yet i still prefer it over other DAW's.

I put the PreSonus StudiLive 16.4.2 plus Adobe Audition 3 setup instructions into a short write-up on my blog: Live Event Multitrack Audio Capture
Here is a photo showing how to set up the Firewire channels for input and output
I hope this helps:
