Line out and headphone problems

Just recently I have started to have a problem where if I use the line-out funtion of my iPod audio will not come out of the headphones afterwards. I use the Belkin auto-kit so I just connect my iPod whenever I drive somewhere, and it annoys me that I have to reset my iPod every time I want to listen through my headphones. I have tried unplugging and plugging back in, increasing and decreasing the volume, pausing/resuming, and changing songs but to no avail. The only solution is resetting the iPod. I was just wondering if anyone out there has had this problem, or knew if there was a more practical solution than just resetting the iPod every time.

Went to the genius bar earlier today to have my Mac Pro looked at. They said that front board and backplane failure is fairly common. In fact, the genius mentioned that his own 12-core suffered the same issues insofar as audio crackling and eventual analog out failure.
I should be getting it back in 5-7 days.

Possible to use audio line out and in simultaneously ?

In the current version of MacBook Pro Retina is it possible to use the analog audio line out and line in both simultaneously ? That is playback as well as record analog audio at the same time.
Does anyone know what is the audio hardward platform (Codec, DAC, ADC, etc..) in this machine ?
Thanks!

Air has a headset jack.
You can use a splitter
Mics should be USB capable for best results, almost all headset mics are junk quality.
then monitoring or listening thru the headphones
consider using a PRO MIC , such as an Audio Technica AT2020 USB

or better still use one of these with pro XLR mics:

Audigy 2 ZS | Separate Line out 1 (headphones) and Line out 2 (speakers)?

Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to Setup a 4 speaker setup, having headphones in Line out 1 and my stereo speakers in Line out 2, and using something like Virtual Audio Cable to reroute audio from Teamspeak to my headphones, and everything else to my speakers? I don't have a front headphones panel. I have attempted to reroute audio but it doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong or is there a different way?
Thank You

Keyboard line out and griffin imic incompatibility?

I'm getting horrible background noise when I try to record my keyboard (Yamaha PSR-225GM ) headphone line out through my Griffin iMic into Garageband. I assume it's a level issue but even the keyboard volume control won't fix the problem nor will system settings for the input device. My Sony stereo mic into the same iMic input sounds fine. Headphones attached to the keyboard line out sound fine too so I don't believe it's a quality problem with the line out. Can one not use a headphone output into the Griffin iMic?
If not, anyone got suggestions for higher quality audio input into the iMic flat panel (e.g. some USB box) that's compatible with various audio equipment (mics, keyboards, guitar amps, 1/4" and 1/8" and RCA plugs etc.)? The iMic has served me fine, but maybe it's time to start looking for something higher quality, and more versatile. Thanks.
By the way, anyone know why sometimes there's a delay (half second or so) between audio in and the monitors in Garageband, and sometimes not? It makes performance nearly impossible when there's such a big delay.

tell me if I'm on the right track on the
following theories (I don't know if the following are TRUE):
I'll do the best I can...
1) The quater-inch headphone output from the Yamaha
keyboard is neither "balanced"
Correct, the headphone-out is not balanced. A balanced output uses 3 wires, a graound, a hot, and another hot that's 180° out of phase with the first. This is a neat trick in that two signals 180° out of phase with each other cancel each other out sp you get zero signal. In the case of a balanced out if noise is introduced, it is in phase on both cables. On the other end when the signal on the out of phase wire has its phase flipped, your original signal is now in phase on both legs, and the noise is 180° out of phase with itself, and thus is canceled out.
nor impedance matched
to the Griffin iMic.
The impedance is not a problem here. As I understand it, the headphone-out is High Impedance, and so is the iMic's In.
(I'm using a 1/4" to 2.5 mm
converter cable). I am possibly getting radio
interference (I DID get a local radio station when I
touched the plug right!!) and degrading the signal
because of these two issues.
Possible. A Low quality cable and or adaptor could offer an entry point for noise.
2) It may be necessary to put the signal from my
keyboard's headphone jack into a DI (direct box) to
get impedance matched to mixer levels - the levels I
assume the Griffin iMic expects.
No, this shouldn't be true. A headphone-out is actually much hotter than a Line-In, so the level should be able to offer more than enough signal, and the impedance is matched.
3) I'm HOPING that a high quality audio-to-USB (or
firewire) input box can perform the job of the direct
box.
It could, but the weak point I see is that you're stuck using a headphone-out instead of a Line-Out. I don't think a DI box is going to help any in comparison.
Hmmm, I just glanced at your computer list. Doesn't the iMac have a Line-In jack? Have you tried skipping the iMic and going straight into the iMac?
Finally, if anyone can give me the list of equipment
in order from a keyboard to Garageband
I think it could be Keyboard -> Mac
Other combinations would just be sticking an interface between the two (Keyboard->interface->Mac)

2009 Mac Pro no audio out from Line Out and/or Digital Out.

Hey guys, I recently bought a new tv which has an optical input and thought I'd buy an optical cable to connect it to my Mac Pro's (4.1 model 2009 I believe) digital out port which I have never used before .
The issue I'm facing since is that I can't get out from my mac pro to my tv. I also bought a cable to direct sound from my mac pro's line out, to my tv's red/white stero audio ports.That didn't work either.
When I select Digital out as the default audio output in Sound preferences the OS says that there are not default audio controls for that device and the sound icon in the menu bar is greyed out while when I switch to line out output I can control volume but no audio is coming from my TV.
I've been searching on forums and didn't find any relevant answer so if someone knows what may cause this that'd be really helpful.
*ALSO: I've got windows 8 instaleld on my mac pro as well. The digital out doesn't work there as well although the line out does send sound to the TV.
** I also have soundflower installed and perian although I don't think any of them would mess things up like that.
Do you think this is a problem with my Mac or is this a common Mavericks issue (sorry forgot to mention I'm on 10.9.2)
Many Thanks,
Thanos.

When I select Digital out as the default audio output in Sound preferences the OS says that there are not default audio controls for that device and the sound icon in the menu bar is greyed out
That's normal. Is the correct audio input selected on the TV?

Command line parameters and path problem

hello ....
I have to execute an application from my java program. My application called "AIMSS" takes 2 command line parameters. Now, when i mention those parameters with complete path to my executeable, windows reports that "unable to open the shortcut". Below is what i am trying:
private static final String WIN_PATH = "rundll32";
private static final String WIN_FLAG "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler";
private String cmd = null;
private String url = null;
public void runMyFileWithMessage(String msg)
    try
url = "C:\\Program Files\\Raytheon\\AIMSS 4.0\\Runtime\\Standard\\aimss40.exe" + " AAAVIETM 3457";
             cmd = WIN_PATH + " " + WIN_FLAG + " " + url;
             System.out.println(url);
             Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
        catch(IOException io)
            System.out.println("AIMSS problem. Below is the Stack Trace.");
            io.printStackTrace();
    }Although, when i tried to run the executeable from Start->Run, by giving it same complete path and 2 arguments, it runs fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Raheel.

Passing multiple paramters in a String to exec() doesn't work. Use the exec method that takes a String array instead and pass the call and each parameter in as a separate String.
Off the top of my head (check the api) it will be something like
String[] cmd = {"C:\\Program Files\\Raytheon\\AIMSS 4.0\\Runtime\\Standard\\aimss40.exe","AAAVIETM", "3457"};
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);

X6 and headphones problem

My X6.00/32 (V21.0.0004) does't recognize headphones. When I insert phones into the jack and press "headphones" choice it gives me stupid message "use telephone's microfon", so I can't use radio. I have tried different headphones and played with settings, I can hear some clicks and noise but radio Is dead and does't work. Player does not work. Without headphones everything works perfectly and loud. Help with solutions! Hardware problem? Nokia service repaire?

The message 'use phone microphone' is a standard message that the phone displays when you plug headphones in. It's just the phone telling you that your headphones don't have an included mic. so you still have to use the phone to speak into with the headphones fitted. That's normal.
As Jimmy has stated, if the headphones are recognised properly by the phone then you should see a little headphones icon on the homescreen near the battery strength indicator.
The FM radio reception in most Nokia handsets that I've had in the past isn't that brilliant to be honest and the X6 is no exception. You have to be in a really strong signal area just to be able to pick up major stations. One trick to try is scanning manually for a station in 0.5 MHz steps instead of scanning automatically up the frequencies for a station.
If you feel the phone has a fault and since you have tried a number of different headphones then you may want to take the phone to a Nokia Care Centre just for them to check it over. My gut feeling is that they won't find a problem, although there's no harm in getting it checked out and giving you peace of mind.

Digital I/O why can't I have line outs and line ins in the same application?

I have a problem with my digital lines. I have several "write to digital line" VIs, and I also need some "read from digital line" VIs. My problem is that when I supply 5V to the line in, it doesn't register high. I checked this on a separate program, and when I did not have a "write to digital line" , the "read from digital line" was at 5V (I checked it with a multimeter). As soon as I included a "write to digital line" in the program, the input was jumping around 1.3V. What is the problem here?

Hello,
I apologize for the delay in responding to your question. You are writing to digital channel 0. This is the same thing as digital port 0. A port is simply a collection of digital lines. Since you are reading and writing to lines 0-7 on channel 0, the Write to Digital Line and Read from Digital Line VIs are resetting the state of the port every time they are called. I notice you have wired a 0 to the iteration count of all the write VIs, but nothing to the read VIs. To fix this problem,
Wire a 1 to the iteration input of all the write VIs except for one. This last VI you can either wire a 0, or leave it unwired as 0 is the default.
Wire a 1 to the iteration input of all the read VIs.
I have m
odified your VI in this way and attached it below. Ideally, you would want to write to a line with 0 for the iteration count only once (outside the loop). The modified VI will do it at the beginning of every loop iteration. I have tested it here and it seems to work without problems. The reason for the modification is that both the high level read and write VIs reset the port when they are called unless you wire a nonzero number to the iteration input. This effectively tells the VI that the port has been initialized and it can skip it.
Feel free to post again if you have further questions. Happy coding,

Line out and Sound Effects revert to Internal Speakers when I reboot. Any suggestions?

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro that runs fine under Yosemite. The Sound preference panel worked under Mavericks, but now I must open the Sound panel and manually change the output for both Output and Sound Effects from Internal Speakers to Line Out after a reboot. This is irritating and is becoming more so.
I've zapped the PRAM with no success.
Would an AppleScript app on startup work? I can't seem to find any appropriate commands in AppleScript that affect these parameters.
Any help appreciated.

The script doesn't seem to work on Yosemite. Trolling around in the library, it appears that "audio" is now "sound," which would explain the file not found.
Or am I missing something?
Suggestions?

5.1 rear out doesn't work, but line out and front stereo does

I got my new HP Pavilion p6-2440el Desktop today, but when I tried to plug my 5.1 audo to it (the one with the 3 jacks) it turned out that the 5.1 audio doesn't work, and the Windows'es "playback devices" panel lists the "IDT High definition audio" as not plugged. Sticking any jack to the front or into the line out in the rear changes it to plugged, but obviously with the stereo sound only. I even tried to download the more recent audio driver (found it in google, 6.10.6486.0, the one I got from the Windows update had a lower version) but it's still the same. Any idea how I can fix it? Thanks.

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial computer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .

Satellite A350 - Sound Line Out And Speaker

When I plug in my Hi-Fi lead to the line out the speakers still keep playing the sound.
How can I mute the speakers but still have sound coming through the line out connection?

Hello
Default setting is when you connect headset or some external speakers using audio-out port the speakers will be off automatically. So I am really confusing why this doesnt work with your notebook. Maybe you have changed some settings.
Anyway, check playback settings in sound properties and all settings in Audio Manager thet you can find in Control Panel.

Audio drop outs and continuing problems- Apple Support informed again.

Hi All,
Have had various audio problems with iMovie transfer to iDVD 6. iMovie had the problems initially but a weird trick seems to be helping me.
Copy a random new audio track into my film, paste it, then cut it out then empty trash..... all of a sudden my audio is clean again and perfectly in time with the video. I have informed the iMovies people in Ireland and they are at a loss to explain why this is now ok.
BACK to the plot and iDVD 6.
When I try to export this project from iMovie in iDVD 6 it either becomes an audio garbled nightmare or if I try and import into iDVD 6 I get audio that gradually becomes out of sync with the video visual. I know that this project was recorded in 16 bit audio so no joy there.
I've told Apple in Ireland that there are major audio issues with iDVD 6's audio set up + something they were apparently unaware of. I was assured that the tech dept's would investigate and solve. I am really surprised that they hadn't seen this problem in this forum!!
In the meantime any advice is very gratefully received. I'm on an Intel G5 Imac with 1.83ghz 1Gb sdram and 250 GB HD. So Software is currently limited!! I desperately need to get this project to DVD!!!!
Many thanks,
GUY

SAME EXACT THING HERE. This is what I posted in a diff thread:
2013 iMac 1TB Flash Drive
OS 10.8.5
Constant audio drop outs using Apogee Duet. I have to unplug and replug several times to get the system to recognize it. Sometimes when it is connected, Audio Prefs doesn't even recognize it and it shows up as "Unknown". When I click Audio Prefs before I get in, I get the spinning beachball and it takes a while for it to open. I have been in touch with Apogee but to no avail. It seems to work on my 2013 Macbook Pro, but I haven't tested extensively. It seems to get tripped up if I'm working in Ableton and get a Facetime call or if I try to use Youtube / Soundcloud. The system gets noticebly slower. When I switch back to Ableton, Duet is recognized (sometimes not recognized at all) but I cannot play anything inside the project window.
Not sure what to do at this point

Does it just software problem ? Or is it hardware problem ?
Problem is:
When I'm turning on tv-out in nview on my TV screen is very very weird,
it's dark but I can see desktop etc and colours are very weird, looks like
it is showing up in 16 colors.
chkdsk on startup when I do hard reset, screen that should be blue is yellow
and it's in 16 colours too.
I don't get it. Any suggestions ?
Btw I wanted to try install windows98 and check if this is software problem
but when I type setup and hit enter nothing happen, only black screen and everything
what can I do is restart computer.
Is it really my graphic card ? I hope it's something in BIOS or in software cause I have warranty to this card but I will have to wait 14 days before I will get it back.
Sorry for my language.
And I almost forgot, one month ago everything was ok and then out of nowhere...

hey guys i had this problem since quite long...even changed my cable 2 times. But now with one setting i have solved half of the problem. Now the video is coming in the TV but no sound. In n97 go to setting then go to phone then go to accessories then go to TV out. Changed Pal to NTSC and it started shoing atleast video on my TV. Can anyone help how to get the sound also.

Clipping paths - outer and inner problem

Mac G5 OS 10.4.11 CS4. - I have an image of a box shape paper clip I wish to have as transparent backgrounds and use in magazine articles. I make a clipping path on the outer shape and it works fine saved as a JPG (see attachment) but I also want the enclosed inner part of the paper clip to be transparent so that when I position it over an image in a magazine it looks as though it is attached to that image.
I made the outer path and then made an inner one - ie. 2 paths on the same layer (tried separate layers still did not work) but the paths will not act as a clipped path together. Tried saving the file as a straight EPS with transparent background and that did not work either. What am I doing wrong?

Mike - I had always thought that EPS was the only successful way to support transparency and your advise on using PSD or TIFF is one I will add to my armoury when memory is not an issue. Like you I thought JPG and transparency ware incompatible, but working on contract at a publishers recently a young graphic designer fresh from college said he always used JPG for clipping paths. So thinking he was wrong I tried it and was surprised to find it does work, I have no doubt you are as sceptical as I was and will try it for yourself. Thanks for the relpy.

Editable ALV - Particular Lines Display and Edit Problem

Hi,
I have developed a program which updates the Custom tables in the database.
I am using cl_gui_alv_grid in the module pool program. I am making all the fields editable using ls_fcat-edit = 'X'.
But as per my requirement in the change mode of the same data base entry, the user should not be able to change the existing data (like PO line items).
My requirement is for a particular Purchase Order if there are line items, when I open the Purchase Order in the change mode all the existing line items should be in display mode and I need to provide the user to add more lines.
Say the PO has 3 line items, in the Grid, it should be like all the existing 3 line items should be in display mode and rest of the lines should be in editable mode which will give the option for the user to add more line items for the same PO.
Here it is not Purchase Order, I just compared as an example.
Logic I am using.
I am building the internal table with a serial numbers from 1-99 and this particular column will be in display mode in the ALV Grid. Using the class cl_gui_alv_grid.
Capturing all the data entered using event handler with method handle_data_changed.
Please tell me how do I set the particular lines in display mode and others in editable mode within the same internal table.
Thanks
