M-Audio 1814 FireWire issue

I've got my M-Audio 1814 plugged into the back of my Mac Pro with a 6 to 9 pin FireWire cable. Whenever I plug in any other kind of FW peripheral, my box starts freaking out and my sound cuts in and out. I have the latest drivers installed but can't figure out what else I should do. Any ideas?

Yes, according to MAUDIO Drivers @ http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support&tab=driver&serie_ID=2&PID=3dd58569d8 828cee4e812013e47dbb55&OS=77#tabs
Your audio device has been supported throughout Mac OS 10.5.2/.3/.4/.5 and now Mac OS 10.5.6 with the MAUDIO Drivers. The thing of it is, the Mac Pro (Early 2008) have been around all that time and has supported Mac OS 10.5.2/.3/.4/.5 and now supports Mac OS 10.5.6. So, bugs and issues have been worked out throughout all those MAUDIO driver updates for the Mac Pro (Early 2008). I am certain that the driver would be more reliable from MAUDIO for Mac OS 10.5.5 on a Mac Pro (Early 2008) 8 Core 3.2 GHz or 8 Core 2.8 GHz. The Mac Pro (Early 2009) was only just released with a customized version of Mac OS 10.5.6 only for the new Mac Pro (Early 2009). Whether or not MAUDIO provides the driver support reliably for the customized version of Mac OS 10.5.6 only for the new Mac Pro (Early 2009) is an expensive question to answer. So, the MAUDIO drivers are suited better for the Mac Pro (Early 2008) model. The hardware has been around longer and I have had no issues with my system for Apple Logic Pro and other audio production software on my Mac Pro (Early 2008) 8 Core 3.2 GHz. Besides, you won't need to deal with issues to do with using a 6 to 9 pin FireWire cable on the Mac Pro (Early 2008). They provide two firewire 400 and two firewire 800 ports.

Firewire Issues: External Hard Drives & DV Deck Sony DSR 11 not recognized

So, I have this brand new $6000 Mac Pro that will not recognize a simple DV deck, nor the external HD's.
Thus, after spending seven hours searchig around last night, trying every configuration possible from updates, unplug power source, and everything else, I began making calls as of 4 am this morning.
I was referred to FCP Europe where I was informed that I needed FCS friver updates. (unavailable for 1.0.1) or perhaps it was a Sony issue. The deck & drives work fine with my G4 & Powerbook G4. With six fire wire ports on the Mac Pro, and nothing being recognized via a single fire wire port, does anyone have a simple, expedient solution? Thank you.

Ahhhh. Firewire issues. I'm convinced that these Macpros have some serious problems here. I am running a sony dsr11 also with a digi002. MY issues is bootup. . I have a mac pro with Tiger installed. My issue is I intermittently get a prohibitted error on bootup. The error looks like a no smoking sign without the cigerett. I have to re boot and sometimes the os boots right up othertimes not. I have sfound that I have to boot my sytem with noting hooked up first. It seems when you have high end firewire devices that the Bus just can't handle it. Real ****** for thos who bought the system for A/V work. Everything woks fine on my powerbook and my G5. Problem is with MACPRO! Do you also have other firewire devices hooked up? Are they daisychained together?

Routing Sound Output - M-Audio 1814

Hello,
Just got a Mac Book Pro and am using an M-Audio 1814 as my sound card. The 1814 is connected to my stereo via s/pdif, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change the output in the system preferences so sound from the web, itunes etc. comes through the s/pdif output rather than the analog channels.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Problem solved...this was the answer for future folks in need:
In the FW 1814 control panel set the the Digital Port Selection to SPDIF
Set the SPDIF input port to the desired selection
Then go into you computers HD and go to Applications>utilities> Audio Midi Setup
Mske sure you are in the Audio Devices window and click configure speakers
Set left front to 5 and set right front to 6, then click apply down below

M- Audio 1814 Ouput Question

Hello there,
I have M-audio 1814 and apogee mini-me. I cant´see 1814 in my preferences window. In Audio Driver section, there is only built- in audio and apogee mini-me. I use also logic pro 8 and there it works fine. Any ideas?

Hi,
I used to have M-Audio in my workplace...but after having so many problems...and having the techs contradict their own advice...I packed the M-Audio products and bought other stuff (Digidesign).
They "repair" by replacing with new boxes...and the WORST of their problems has always been their software DRIVER implementations...I have no clue why they think replacing hardware when the SOFTWARE is the problem...will fix it.Someone needs to rethink their customer support solutions.
The last straw was when they blamed ProTools(made by AVID,their new owner) of my particular problem,after I had told them I was NOT running ProTools...Again...why are they blaming or pointing their finger at something that has NO bearing on the problem...I gave up at that point.
So,after my illustrious rant,I would recommend you walk,no better yet RUN and get another brand of audio interface.And don't look back,or you might turn to salt...(sorry for all you religoius types out there for the reference).

CS5 support is falling down - the famous firewire issue

As a loyal user of Adobe professioanl editing solutions for the last 10 years this past month has been a nightmare. When I inquired about upgrading to CS5 from CS3 I was advised during an online chat with an Adobe person here on the site to upgrade to CS4 and because of the timing I would get a complimentary CS5 upgrade. I purchased CS4 on April 14th and had so many issues it was never even used in the edit suite. When CS5 became available I decided to cut my losses and decided if I was going to have to go through all the hoops I might as well only go through them once with CS5. I have had numerous long discussions with Adobe "support" regarding various problems and now I am at the end of my rope. Even though they say the are taking notes during our conversations each subsequent "support" person claims to not know most of the pariculars discussed in previous phone calls. I didn't think I had to follow up each phone call with a note here but evidently that is the case. Today I have a deadline to deliver content on TAPE to a national cable network and the series contract could be in jeapordy if I can't deliver the first of 26 episodes. I CANNOT PREVIEW ON AN EXTERNAL TELEVISION MONITOR OR EXPORT THROUGH FIREWIRE TO MY MAIN DV DECK. It is a deck I have used for YEARS with Premiere CS2 and CS3 and i NEVER had an issue like this. I have been told repeatedly that the issue would be resolved and most recently on Tuesday of this week I was promised a callback between "1PM and 2PM" Central Standard time on Wednesday, THAT CALL NEVER CAME. When I followed up with another call MOST of the days previous discussion was NOT in my case notes. I was told my main Sony VTR and secondary JVC VTR were not HDV decks even though I have been using BOTH for many years for just that purpose and even though that didn't address the most pressing of all my issues which was just getting output through firewire to tape. After a very frustrating call I was promised another callback "in an hour" by a "supervisor". That call NEVER came. Both Adobe "support" and PNY Quadro "support" claim that they have "never" heard of the firewire issue even though it is all over the forums at Adobe. I will be posting this and every subsequent communication between me and Adobe on the forums, at Yelp and any other web sites that take reviews of professional video products. For the record just some of my other issues include the inability to capture HDV from the Sony HDV deck I have been capturing from for years, Alpha Glow not working and no split screen when doing color correction in a number of effects where it is offered. Also for the record I have tried turning off the MPE GPU acceleration to export to tape and that doesn't work either. System is a Supermicro dual processor motherboard with lots of ram and a Quadro FX 3800 operating with 64 bit Windows 7.

Read here:
http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50433.aspx
It may get firewire working again on your older deck with Windows 7. If the solution on that page works, then the problem is down to Microsoft, not Adobe.
FWIW, it's getting to be pretty well known around these parts that the current implementation of Adobe Customer Service is awful. That said, several Adobe employees, including some Premiere Pro engineers, have been hanging out in the forums recently. This is a big change from earlier releases of Pr, where an Adobe presence was rarely seen at all.
These same folks have also said that Adobe is working to improve their Customer Service. Like the inertia of a large ship forcing it to take a long time to change course, I suspect that it will take a bit longer for Adobe to make that improvement than it would for a smaller company. Don't give up on 'em just yet.

10.8.4 update firewire issues

10.8.4 update is not fixing the firewire issues that 10.8.3 caused with my macpro. my printer (professional Epson)
hard crashes when accessed. I'm reporting this because there are many people having firewire issues with firewire
printers and 10.8.3.

Use the workaround until the FW issue is resolved: use a USB cable.

X-Fi Xtreme Audio & 4GB RAM issue - latest driver?

:X-Fi Xtreme Audio & >4GB RAM issue - latest driver?T Hi All,
Been using an X-Fi Xtreme Audio with 4GB RAM for ages, no issues.
I purchased and installed a zotac 9600 GT which has GB onboard ram, which works fine, but now my X-Fi has started causing general system instability. (processes using heaps of CPU time whilst apparently doing not much, jerky/slow adobe flash, distorted (slow-motion) audio at random times, etc etc.
In the support section here it says:
Audio issue from output from soundcard with computer having 4GB RAM:
<span class="text">
Keywords: <font>4GB ram, installation, xfi, x-fi
Summary: Customers with computers having <font>4GB or above of RAM and are experiencing audio issues, please download the latest driver for your sound card.
However... When this issue first came up I formatted my primary dri've, reinstalled the OS and downloaded the latest drivers for EVERYTHING. The problem has prevailed..
It was only yesterday that I tracked down this problem in the support section here, and tried to verify that my driver is indeed the latest. But device manager lists the driver as "6.0.0.209" when in the support section here the downloads are named ".xx.xxxx" or something. How can I confirm that I have the latest driver? In any case, I'm almost certain that I have the latest, and this issue is still occuring.
I have read in other forums that on other varients of my X-FI card, the latest drivers have not solved this problem either.. sorry I cant be more accurate than that.
For now, I have solved this problem by simply removing 2GB of ram from my PC. Obviously, I'd like to find a solution and put the other 2GB back in!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Could DanielK please mod this as well, so we can try them. Or Daniel, you could you please tell me how you modified the previous drivers from auzentech as I dont know how these CL drivers work and are modified. What is the inf in these drivers, and if you could tell me the deviceID?s of all the x-fi models, or atleast for x-fi xtreme music as it is my modell. Thx in advance!
EDIT:
I have modified the drivers, was not so hard after all. Im uploading the file now, which should have support for all X-FI cards thanks to Daniel's great job with the earlier version.
Upload finished in 4-5minutes. I will post with link soon to rapidshare!

FireWire Issues - anyone else?

Have a PB G4, 1.67, with an Apple-repaired logic board [from Nov 08]. After latest Security updates, I have had trouble connecting either 800 or 400 FW drives. I've tried them on an iMac and iBook; both work. Tried different cables, three different drives [2 OCW, one Verbatim]. Nothing works. Wiggled cables. Used both bus and external power.
HELP please. I don't want to spend another $350 [plus postage from UK via APO] to fix this a third time [was a refurb, used from PowerMax, they looked at logicboard once, and then I used Apple's fix it service]. The Apple repair warranty expired in Feb 09.
I might try an $80 cardbus FW800/400 if I can find one still.
Thanks in advance.

Frustrating trying to get it to work .... You can zap the PRAM as well as reset the PMU anytime. At this point, if you haven't go ahead and do the PRAM and might as well do the PMU again. Reset PRAM. Note the effects are immediate, there's no advantage to waiting overnight:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
It sounds like you may have had hard drive issues that Drive Genius fixed for you. For comparison, did you run the Disk Utility disk repair after Drive Genius fixed the hard drive .. just to see if Disk Utility gives the drive a clean bill of health?
When you ran the Apple hardware test, did you run the extended test? Do you have either of the TechTool programs available? They do similar testing to the Apple hardware test, it would be interesting to see if they also say the hardware is OK.
You've reloaded the operating system a couple of times. Did you use the combo update to update to 10.4.11? I prefer that to letting Software Update make the updates, as sometimes it doesn't update correctly. Repair disk permissions before and after the update, too. Then run software update to pick up any other required updates.
You've, by this time, reset PRAM and PMU, I assume the PRAM reset didn't change anything? If so, sorry, but I don't know what else you can do. At this point, I'd take it to a genius at the Apple store, and get their opinion.
I didn't address sleep as I think you need to resolve the Firewire issue first, then see if there is a sleep problem.

MiniDV audio sample rate issue

I cannot get the audio sample rate to match. I have captured miniDV footage (32mhz/12bit). In Sequence settings the audio options for bit are 8, 16, 24. My audio is out of sync!!!! What can I do? I have 2 hours of raw footage and can't proceed! Any help is VERY appreciated. thanks in advance!

Hi again!
Hum ... that´s not as simple as it could be!
That way i´ll have to capture twice?!
There must be another way of doing it , i don´t think Avid can do it and FCP don´t .
As i told you i use both systems and i know they´re limitions (or i think i know!), but it´s strange because Avid Xpress DV 3.5 (from the age of stone ) do it in a blink ... ok ... found an FCP limitation!
Thank you!
If there´s another way ... please feel free to post it!

Audio Video synchronization issues

Hi,
I have a video application that I am building - and
previously I used FMS and TCP connections for video. Now expecting
the latency to be much lesser with UDP, I implemented UDP in my
application and stratus as the RTMFP capable server. I used the
sample video phone application's tutorial do a simple sendStream
and receiveStream for video.
However, unlike the hosted sample application itself, my
audio and video are completely out of synchronization - about 4
secs!! I tried to look at the sample code to see if there were any
special settings that were made. I could not find any.
My questions:
1. Did Adobe make any special tweaks in their hosted sample
application? If so, what are they?
2. Are there any known synchronization issues with using
RTMFP connections for video?
3. Does anyone else also face audio video synchronization
issues?
4. If none of the above is true, what do you think my
mistakes are? Please let me know if I need to add more information
to answer this question.
Thanks in advance.
Rohan

with RTMFP, video and audio can go out of sync if the data
rate of your stream exceeds your network capacity. video is
currently sent with 100% reliability, so once it's queued for
transmission, it's going to be sent (eventually). video is lower
priority than audio, though, so your audio data gets first dibs on
your network capacity. if the video stream's data rate is higher
than what fits in your network (after audio), the video data will
back up until its send buffer is filled, and new camera frames will
stop getting captured. in the steady state, this can look like a
multi-second offset between the video and audio.
try turning your video rate/quality down so that it fits in
your network capacity. video and audio should stay in sync.
with RTMP, there's one network transmission buffer (TCP's)
for all of the parts of your stream (audio & video). when you
have insufficient network bandwidth, the TCP buffer will eventually
fill up and video frames will stop being captured to compensate. so
while audio and video might remain in sync, the total end-to-end
latency will go up. when using RTMFP, the audio and video have
independent transmission buffers, so in cases of insufficient
network resources, the higher-priority audio should remain more
timely but video may fall behind.

Audio and video issue after Win 10 Upgrade - Split X2 laptop 64-bit

Any solution to the Audio and Video issues on Split X2 13" laptop after Windows 10 FREE Upgrade?? - Intel Core i5 processor- 4GB memory I'm sure others are have the same Audio/video problems: - there is Sound and video playback but the sound and video is repeated slowly forward....impossible to understand the audio. The video is clear but also being played in repeated frames as it moves slowly forward!- sounds coming out of the speakers ok - everything was working great on Windows 8.1 (before upgrading to Windows 10). there must be some kind of driver upgrade for IDT High Definition CODEC BEATS audio... is there a work-around until a real fix is provided?? Regards - VK

I have downloaded and installed the HP recommended IDT Audio Driver using the HP Assistant. The current installed IDT High Definition Audio CODEC driver is: STWRT64.sys 6.10.6498.0 The laptop was rebooted but the problem still the same.....Audio is garbeled and impossible to understand the words...video seems ok when playing Youtube videos. My Split 13 X2 product id is: E2S66AV BIOS F.27

M-Audio 410 Firewire - Mic problems

I have Windows i7 64bit, and a M-Audio 410 Firewire soundcard.
I can't get the mic to work in Skype, byt it works fine when I record with it in others audioprograms (Soundboth and Audition).
I can hear when people talk to me through Skype, but they can't hear me talking.
I have try to change set-up for mic in Skype funktions, but I can't make it work
Any idea of what I can do - I use a RØDE NTG-2 and Phantompower is on
When I speak in the mic I can hear it in my Headspeakers

I have the same problem, but on Mac and with a Yamaha n12 mixer or a Behringer usb - up until now I didn't find a way to solve this. I'm afraid it's a skype problem, our mixers have nothing to do with it...

Cannot hook up my mic with M-Audio Solo Firewire: Final and/or Garage Band

I have Final Cut Pro 5, a new MXL V67 microphone, and an M-Audio Firewire Solo Interface and I cannot record my voice.
I'm not sure if I have everything hooked up right: I have a firewire going from the Solo to my computer, and the mic is plugged into the Solo. I think my settings are correct. Should there be another cable going from the Solo to my computer? I've tried going through Garage Band too...no luck.
The other strange thing is that when I click on the M-Audio Solo Firewire icon on my hard drive, (to set up the settings) it keeps telling me that the firewire device is not showing up. BUT..it IS showing up in Garage Band and Final Cut...it's just not picking up any audio. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program too...it also made my computer crash a few times.
Help please!!
Thanks
Quad G5 Mac OS X (10.4)

I use the M-Audio Firewire solo and it works like a charm. But you need to make sure you have the latest driver from M-Audio -- they update for nearly every OS X upgrade, including the minor upgrades (e.g., from 10.3 to 10.4). And you need to start the M-Audio software (from the System Preferences pane) BEFORE you open the Voice Over tool in FCP. Hope this helps.

M-Audio 1814 Issue

I upgraded to Leopard. I've been experiencing a series of crashes that I've traced to the M-Audio Firewire 1814 interface. I installed the combo updates for LEOPARD, and ensured I had M-Audio's latest drivers for the FIREWIRE 1814.
Currently the M-Audio device is plugged into the 400 bus in back of the G5(Late2005)
With TIGER, there was a routine that I had to follow to avoid crashes (e.g. always turn on any firewire or usb peripherals first prior to the M-Audio device). Now with the LEOPARD upgrade, there is no mercy - I've tried everything, including the Hokey Pokey.
Issues include:
- Logic Pro 8 (2.02) plays sporadically (if the M-Audio device is removed things runs smooth)
- iTunes will not play if the M-Audio device is attached. Again, if the device is removed things run smoothly.
- When either of those two programs do play for any extended period, the BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH comes down and I have to restart.
- After disconnecting the M-Audio device. The system appears to run normal.
The FIREWIRE 1814 has normally been very good as a MIDI interface and an input/output device.
I'm frustrated. After sorting thru this issue for over a month - I'm still not closer to resolution and I don't have the $$$ to put into a new card.

I think you've already established where the problem lies. The driver for your device is not compatible with the rest of your system.
You say you have downloaded the latest driver, but it might be worth checking the website for known issues & bug reports, & that the driver you downloaded really is the most compatible one for your system.
Also — sometimes these things take time to sort out, so a fixed driver may not appear immediately…
Hopefully, you won't have to ditch the interface just because of a software glitch. That would be chucking the baby out with the bath water!
