M-Audio Audiophile USB

Anyone else experiencing kernel panics when using this audio interface? There is no Leo driver yet, so maybe this is the cause? Seems odd that it works perfectly most of the time though...
Also, a search of their website revealed this, which I didn't know:
There are 2 USB ports on the left side of the MacBook models. Due to the current USB configuration of the MacBook under OS X, the use of USB audio devices is supported on the front USB port only (the port farthest away from the screen). Use of such devices on the rear USB port is not advised because it may cause audio interrupts and/or dropped samples. However, the use of an iLok dongle on the rear port has been qualified and is fully supported.'

Hi Dan,
Apologies for the extremely long reply, I don't often check the email associated with this account.
I never did end up resolving my issue. I accepted defeat and got myself a new soundcard. The only thing I could possibly think of is that the audiophile soundcard just isn't compatible with the Mac, I know the website says it is but that definitely wasn't the case for me and it sounds like it's the same for you.
Sorry I couldn't give you any better help dude. If it helps I replaced mine with a Tascam US-200, that definitely does work!

  • EXTERNAL SOUNDCARD: Unable to connect to M-Audio Audiophile USB. Is it on?

    Hello,
    I am brand new to Mac's, this is my first ever one i've had that i'm on right now.
    I have my M-Audio Audiopjile USB External Soundcard plugged in, switched on, everything exactly how it was in my PC.
    I just downloaded the drivers for it from the website but I keep getting the message in the title of this question on my system preferences > other > m-audio audiophile.
    The reason I need my soundcard working is because it is connected to my two studio monitor speakers that I use for music production.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Alex.

  • No audio after USB audio accessory is connected

    I've discovered what I believe is a rather interesting (and rather serious) bug in the iPhone 2.0 software:
    When an USB IAP accessory (such as a lot of newer car stereos) is connected and disconnected a couple of times the audio output from the iPhone will often stop working. Disconnecting the accessory or plugging/unplugging headphones does not fix the problem.
    And I mean the audio completely dies: I get no audio from the phone, voicemail, ringtones, iPod, or system sounds from the speaker, headphones, or dock output.
    It's like the audio drivers crash. Sometimes the audio will start working again after a long period of time (like if the phone has been sitting idle for hours while I'm at work) but usually I have to reboot to get it working. It seems when I can get audio to work again without a reboot, I get a new crashReporter log about mediaserverd the next time I sync.
    The problem occurs when the phone is connected to an iPod accessory that uses the IAP audio-over-USB capability (I tried my Pioneer car stereo and a Kenwood stereo at Best Buy) It does not occur when connected to an accessory that only uses analog audio. I've seen it happen on my iPhone 3G and the original iPhone, so I know it's not a hardware problem.
    I know for a fact the Pioneer and Kenwood units I tested are stated as having USB inputs compatible with the iPod Video, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, and iPod touch. (I can confirm the Pioneer does work fine with my old iPod Video.)
    Multiple reviews have shown them to also work well with original iPhones running 1.1.4 and below (even if you do get the "not made for iPhone" warning)
    However, both phones I tested are running 2.0. Which leads me to think this is a bad 2.0 bug.

  • Sound plays through Matrox MX02 instead of Komplete Audio 6 USB Device =(

    In Adobe Premire Pro CC I can't use my NI Komplete Audio 6 usb device for playback. Instead sound always comes out of my Matrox MX02 when I'm scrubbing or playing.
    Under Preferences -> Audio Hardware -> Default Device I have selected Komplete Audio 6. When I hit ASIO settings it brings up the expected Komplete Audio 6 Control Panel.
    Under Preferences -> Playback -> Audio Device I see options for Adobe DV, Adobe Desktop Audio, and Matrox Player but no Komplete Audio 6.
    My system is a custom built Windows7 PC. Any advice on getting sound out of my Komplete Audio 6 instead of the Matrox MX02 would be much appreciated!

    the komplete audio 6 seems more problematic than expected.
    Preferences -> Audio Hardware -> Default Device -> Premiere Pro WDM Sound causes stuttery playback. I've tried enabling/disableing "Device 32-bit Playback" under ASIO settings and I've also ensured that the buffer size (256 samples) is the same as in my Komplete Audio 6 Control Panel.
    Preferences -> Audio Hardware -> Default Device -> Komplete Audio 6 audio playback is fine but if I alt-tab away from PPCS6 the application will freeze as I describe in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5412540#5412540 ...
    I'm running the latest driver/control pannel from Native Instruments (3.1.0) and the latest firmware has been flashed to the Komplete Audio 6 (45).

  • Can MacBook Pro output digital audio via usb?

    I'd like to output digital audio via usb. Can it be done from iTunes? This would allow me to go directly to my dac and then to my preamp.
    Thanks.

    Russell, there are quite a variety of devices that accept digital audio over USB from any mac with a USB port - see http://www.trendsaudio.com/EN/Product/USBAudiodesc.htm for one example.
    Try a google on MAC USB Audio OUTPUT any you should pop up some useful options.
    Cheers

  • Displayport audio vs USB audio

    I have pre-Thunderbolt 27 display that is offering my 2011 Mac Mini 2 audio options : Display Port vs USB audio
    Now, I beleive if I will have to plug in the USB cable either way, to ge the USB hub, microphone, camera to work.
    So I don't believe I can necessarily save the USB port (if I could, then why would there be Thunderbolt?).
    What I want to know is there any advantage to using Display Audio over USB ?
    - Is the sound any better ?
    - When I am using USB networking for other purposes, will Display Audio have less USB bus contention and play better ?
    - Similar as above, when playing music over Display Port, will my USB devices be faster due to less contention ?
    I am leaning towards Display Port audio unless someone can give a definitive answer
    Thanks.

    You say 'no', but then why did they add the option on the Mac Mini? ie It wasn't to free the USB connector,  as that is still used anyhow for the camera, mic, usb hub and software updates.
    Software updates?  Not sure what that has to do with this.  But anyhow I have a mac pro with a 27" mini-displayport apple display and both options are available too.  It has nothing to do with power (I'm certainly not underpowered).  It's simply that those ports are available audio out devices.
    On my old Macbook Pro, when viewing live video from my Hauppagauge HDPVR via a different USB port on the Mac (not the screen), the sound was sometimes choppy if I was doing other tasks as well.
    You machine has its limits in processing power and is probably having trouble using too many processor intensive processes.  Use your Activity Monitor to see which processes are using large amounts of cpu time.
    The display has a USB hub that chains of the USB port, so if have other devices working like my external USB Bluray drive, then I think there could be contention when using that also when reading/writing.
    Contention is managed everywhere; hard drives, usb buss, fireware buss,  pci buss, memory buss, and any others I can't think of at the moment.  You're splitting hairs worrying about sending audio to usb ports which is a blip on the overall processing of generating that audio in the first place.  In other words its the processes and efficiency of your machine that are a bootleneck.
    So I am really hoping someone will confirm that the audio data was moved to the mini-display plug to provide more bandwidth via the USB controller, or to guarantee bandwidth for consistent audio.
    Good luck with that.

  • Can't hear sound with M-Audio MobilePre USB driver in Logic 7.2

    Hi. I've installed an M-Audio MobilePre USB interface to hook up a nova mic and i've also hooked up an oxygen eight midi keyboard. Can't get any sound from Logic when i select M-Audio MobilePre USB as my driver, and can't get Logic to recognize my midi keyboard. I have downloaded the latest M-Audio MobilePre USB update off the web, and still nothing. I'm new at all of this. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

    I'm wondering did you install the drivers and after that plugin the usb devices or did you leave them plugged in during install?
    What happens when you unplug the midi interface and put it back in? Is it recognized by Logic by putting up a dialog that something has changed?

  • Plantronics .Audio 510 USB not detected in Leopard

    Hi guys and gals
    I just updated my OS X from 10.4.9 to 10.5.1, and now I've got a bit of a problem with my Plantronics .Audio 510 USB headset. In 10.4, it would be detected automatically and work just dandy, but in 10.5, no such luck. It will not even show up in Sound in the Pref Panel. I've checked that the USB headset is receiving power, and it is. The mute button works and lights up, and the volume buttons affect OS X. The volume is turned up or down when I press them, but for the built-in speakers only.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi guys,
    I've just bought the .Audio 510 USB myself. My system sees the headset but only as an "Unkown USB Audio Device". I can get it working, but I need to manually go in and select it in my systems settings and Skype preferences each time I plug it in.
    I also use NiceCast streaming software and it's the same deal with that. How are you guys getting on with it. Have you had any success since you last posted?

  • L505D-LS5001 no audio / no usb problem

    i been having problems with my audio and usb drive, allready try installing drivers  and nothing..
    the audio tells me no audio output installed.
    and the usb and sd card slot wont work eider.  runnning windows 7 32bit , audio driver is microsoft audio highdefiniton with the yellow (!)
    when i try to install laptops drivers go to the best drivers allready install.
    usb problem i really dont know whats  the problem..Laptop still on warranty.
    Any help please

    I have run into this same issue; it seems to occur that in device manager, no USB host is even present.   Audio just has a red "X" on it.
    I've tried installing the drivers, updates.
    I restored from the Restore discs from Toshiba (which just crash)
    I've done an install from a straight WIn7 X64 disc (which works, but then Red "X")
    I've tried changing memory, HDD..
    I've tried bootable LInux, which also doesn't see a USB controller.
    This is very annoying.  This seems to have happened after someone flashed the 1.10 BIOS onto this (I have an L505D-LS5007)
    Something here is very amiss, and a laptop with  no USB, no Audio is almost worthless.  It's as though the BIOS control for the southbridge is wrong.  I've tried re-flashing with 1.10, no difference.. I'd love to be able to rollback to 1.00, but I can't even find it.

  • Audio playback delay using M-Audio Audiophile

    I have an MBP, 2.66 GHz i7, 4GB 1067 Mhz DDR3 Ram. External monitor on DVI. OS X 10.6.8
    I've just started using FCP X and have cut one movie with it ( http://youtu.be/SUQLTk4aCS8 )
    However I am now experiencing a problem that audio playback is about 10 frames behind the video, even though the waveform on the screen lines up with the video.
    I am using an M-Audio Audiophile firewire audio interface to playback audio. When I switch back to the internal soundcard audio sync is fine. This problem started after I updated the M-Audio driver, as the one on the MBP was the one that transferred across when I copied all my files from my previous MBP (I can't remember Apple's name for this process, when you connect the new computer to old computer by firewire and transfer all files and settings automatically)
    The M-Audio control panel wasn't working on this MBP so I updated to the newset driver, the 64 bit version. I assume the i7 and OS X 10.6.8 is 64 bit but I am not positive as I could not find any guidance on my computer or elsewhere.
    Can anyone help me with this? I prefer the sound quality of my Audiophile, I find the internal soundcard very trebly. Just want to get rid of the playback delay.

    Thanks for responding.
    It seems quite strange that the driver update caused the problem...maybe I should roll back to the previous driver? worth a try I guess...although this is a new machine so doing that could cause other problems.
    ANNNNOYING....on the internal soundcard, whenever I click the mouse or scroll the timeline I hear annoying clicks and pops thru my speakers.
    What kind of 'pro' software doesnt let u use an external soundcard. I think Apple really screwed up here. I feel sorry for everyone who invested in full-on FCP suites and training time for editing feature films who are no longer going to get updates and support.

  • Audio via USB displays input level but no sound is heard.

    I have a Roland System 1 synth that features audio via USB. I have installed the drivers, and the System 1 is showing up in my menu for system preferences/sound. When I select the System 1 as my input device, play the keys, and adjust the synths volume knob, the input level meter responds accordingly, showing that the Mac is hearing the output of the synth. However, I can not get the sound to come out of the speakers! The Mac's internal speakers are set as my output device, and they are turned up and working fine with all other audio.

    I have MIDI working fine in my DAW.
    I just can't get any audio to play through USB, which is a feature of the System 1.
    System 1 is set as my input device (driver has been installed) within system preferences/sound, I play the keys, and adjust the synths volume knob, the input level meter responds accordingly in the preferences window, showing that the Mac is hearing the output of the synth. No sound is heard.
    All other Audio/system sounds/itunes/etc. can be heard.

  • I have a m-audio producer usb microphone and since the update on Dec. 22, 2013 Logic hasn't been allowing me to record with it. Logic is reading the microphone as the input but the audio tracks don't have the record enable button. What's wrong?

    I have a m-audio producer usb microphone and since the update on Dec. 22, 2013 Logic hasn't been allowing me to record with it. Logic is reading the microphone as the input but the audio tracks don't have the record enable button and won't let me select an input for the audio track on the inspector panel. What are some possible solutions.

    Certain M-Audio USB devices (along with some other USB2 class compliant devices that don't use drivers) no longer work with Logic Pro X 10.0.5
    At this time it is unknown as to why this has happened. Nor is it known if Apple will need to fix it or if it is up to the Developers of said USB2 devices  to remedy the problem.
    In the mean time, assuming you made/could make backups prior to updating to 10.0.5.... the solution is to roll back to LPX 10.0.4...

  • Problems connecting Yamaha P-90 to GB08/Leopard via M-Audio Uno USB

    I am able to connect my Yamaha P-90 to my old G4 Powerbook running 10.3.9 using an M-Audio Uno USB MIDI interface. GB correctly detects that a new MIDI device has been added. I have just bought an 20" iMac with Leopard, but it cannot detect the MIDI device when I plug it in. The Yamaha and the interface clearly work, so I assume there must be an issue in Leopard. Do I need to install any specific drivers to make this work? I don't remember having to do this with the old machine, although admittedly it was a while ago.
    I've read numerous posts bemoaning the issues that seem to surround trying to connect Yamaha to Apple via USB. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks, Guy

  • No audio selection after loading Driver for M-Audio MobilePre USB

    I recently downloaded the latest Driver for my M-Audio MobilePre USB on my Mac Pro and the audio input out put selection in the system preferences are not showing up. However it does show it listed in "Other" in system preverences, but only the volume control.
    How do I get it the input and output selection to work?

    I tried calling them but they said you need to have a service number, when you registered, which I got mine about 9 or so years ago and dont remember any numbers!
    You need to purchase a number to talk to service, its a bunch of c#@@p.
