M-Audio Ozone Fixed with 10.5.3 Update

I updated to Leopard a few months ago and immediately lost use of my M-Audio Ozone as an audio interface. Midi worked fine and audio would work for about 30 seconds at a time. It was completely unusable in Logic or Garageband. After trying a bunch of different things to make it work, the only reliable solution was running Logic on Tiger, which was not a convenient solution, so I bought a Presonus Inspire, which worked has been working very well.
I took the plunge on the 10.5.3 update today and decided to test the Ozone again, and I'm pleased to say it works great once again.

yes it FINALLY WORKS, all ways had issues, in fact all m- audio did and allot still do but ozone works well stable now.
one thing to be aware of that is easy to work around, if you come back out of sleep on your computer, you may hear goggling noise like you do when your low on ram and trying to run a plug in with live recording monitoring, all you have to do is shut off the ozone, select internal sound, turn the ozone back on, select it when Logic tells you that it detected another interface and poof, works like a charm.
The ozone used to gargle its way out of the computer or even cause freezing when restarting it in the past, i have had mine on for a week and did all the above with no problem at all, and i use pro tools m powered as well (no midi) removed that to avoid hassle.
best of luck

  • M-Audio Ozone compatible with Garage Band?

    I'm trying to set up a very basic setup so my father can mess with Garage Band. Does anyone know if the M-Audio Ozone is compatible with GB? I'd like to be able to use the microphone and DI inputs as well as the midi functions. Thanks for your help!

    I have never used one but there should be no reason why the Midi and audio interface would not work. I don't think the control surface part will have full function, not that is a big deal.

  • Is Wifi issue fixed with the 3.1 update for 1st Gen Touch?

    I have a 1G Touch and I have been reluctant to upgrade to 3.0 because of the issues people seem to be having with wifi once they upgrade.
    My wifi on 2.2.1 is fine, and I don't want to mess it up...but more and more apps require 3.0.
    I'd like to know whether people are finding that the wifi issues are finally resolved with the 3.1 update...or not.
    Opinions?

    I upgraded to 3.0 as soon as I got my iPod Touch, so have always had the wifi problems. My home wifi works fine, though slowish. My broadband is a pretty consistent 5.9Mb/s. With 3.0 I was getting under 2.0Mb/s. With 3.1.1 I get between 2.0Mb/s and 3Mb/s (once I got 3.9Mb/s, but only once). I notice from the tests that the meter surges quickly up to about 5Mb/s before dropping like a stone to 2.4Mb/s or 2.8Mb/s. I would be happy for this to be improved but it doesn't really bother me.
    But with Public wifi, it's a different story. I get everything from logging on immediately and working perfectly to not working at all. When I can log on to Public wifi, I notice two things. First, it's pretty well certain to fail with secure pages. Second, if it fails to connect the first time, stopping and restarting it will often produce a result. These are classic signs of DNS problems, as I recall from previous Mac upgrades.
    I love the iPod, but I would love it even more if the wifi worked the way it's supposed to.

  • Video and audio not synchrone with apple tv after update mountian lion on macbook pro

    i have a problem with my apple tv. after i bought and instaled mountain lion on my mac book pro i have trouble with apple tv and my laptop. when my laptop conects with apple tv most of the time my wifi doesnt work on my macbook but on my apple tv it stil does work. when it does work and i play a movie of my own by using itunes the first second the video and audio is synchrone but after that audio is at normal speed but the video gets behind. and i am getting sick of it. does sumbody reconize the problem and can help me with this problem?????

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

  • M-Audio Ozone not sending audio to macbook with 10.5

    Hey Gang
    I've got a brand new macbook and installed the drivers for my m-audio ozone today. Although I can select the Ozone as the audio input (and output) device both within Garageband and in my system preferences, the audio input level (under details in the info pane on the right) is greyed out and is all the way down so there is no way to have any input volume on this device and therefore no audio gets from the Ozone to the mac. I read a thread on here that was posted in February but it didn't seem to be resolved. Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Chuck

    what kind of mic do you have plugged into the ozone?

  • How to add audio to fixed layout epub

    Hi,
    I'd like to know if adding audio to a fixed layout epub is possible or planned for InDesign? Specifically for read-aloud books—with highlighting each word. I know this can be done with a painfully manual process in the HTML. However it would be swell if it could be done in InDesign somewhat less excruciatingly slow?
    I've read Pariah Burke's book on adding read aloud audio, but now with the new Fixed Layout capability it's out of date. Anyone know of other sources of info on this?
    Sue Campbell

    The IDs on <span>s are in the update just released yesterday.
    When I was leading the EPUB team, I would have said that supporting an SMIL workflow for InDesign was extremely unlikely.
    External tools are needed to map the IDs to the audio clips (that's what the SMIL file does) and then it all needs to get packaged up.
    ID could do all the packaging of course, but it can't make the SMIL file and until ID does the export you don't know what the IDs are going to be.
    So I always suspected that this would always be a post processing step that would have to occur entirely after the export and thus nothing for InDesign to participate in.
    I found this book very useful in learning about the SMIL workflow - http://iampariah.com/books/creating-fixed-layout-ebooks - but of course the rest of it (published in 2013) is out of date since we're exporting the FXL from InDesign. There are obviously other sources to talk about how to do this.
    I hope that helps.

  • M-Audio Ozone whine

    Hi folks,
    I have an M-Audio Ozone, USB midi and audio interface connected to my iBook. (G4, 1.33gHz, 768MB RAM, OSX 10.4.9))
    Whenever I load up Logic Express a faint whine starts to appear from my speakers.
    Shutting down logic stops the noise.
    It also appears if the Ozone is still connected and I play a song via iTunes or Quicktime.
    I've downloaded the latest driver from the M-Audio site and tried using different connection cables and output jacks on the Ozone, all without success.
    Has anyone else come across a similar problem?
    Thanks,
    Robert.

    There have been cases of reported whine with some Mac's.
    The solution I am aware of has been to download the CHUD tool from Apple's developer site.
    It will add 'Processor' to the system pref's. Older versions show a 'Hardware" preference panel instead.
    Open it and uncheck 'Allow Nap'.
    http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=208800&d= 1157836667
    Versions here:
    ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/ToolChest/Testing_-_Debugging/Performancetools/
    However depending on your computer the newest version may or may not show the Allow Nap checkbox.
    If it doesn't, unistall with CHUD remover before installing another.
    I would try 3.5.2 with a G4 and look for Hardware preference panel.

  • How do I synchronise audio and video with an mpg file created in elements 11 ?

    How do I synchronise audio and video with an mpg file created in Premier Elements 11 ?
    The source files are VOB files, and there is no problem with those source files.  But after creating the mpg file, the audio can be out of sync by 1 second or even 10 seconds, and sometimes zero seconds (ie perfectly OK).  That varies.  The variation might be linked to some of the VOB files.  ie. some are OK, and some are not.
    Can I fix this automatically in Elements 11, or am I doing something wrong ?

    Hartwood,
    First, Premiere (both Pro and Elements) do not handle MPEG Audio perfectly - they like some files, but not all files with MPEG Audio. That makes a VOB a less-than-perfect source file. Still, with a bit of work, one should be able to edit it just fine. One of the factors is that there is a very slight block-size difference between the Encoded Video Stream and the Encode Audio Stream in a muxed MPEG-2 file. That often does not play into things, but can cause slight OOS (Out of Sync) issues. Also, both Premieres need to create all I-Frame files for the Video Stream, which is in GOP (Group of Pictures) structure, so what one sees on the Timeline is really a proxy of the MPEG-2 file's Video Stream. The Audio Stream must also be Conformed to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 32-bit floating point, to be edited. That Conforming is perfect when one has PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit for the Audio Stream, but requires more work, when the Audio Stream is MPEG (one reason that some MP3's do not work well in Premiere). Several factors involved here, and a fair amount of work for the program. That is why DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio works so perfectly.
    Now, fixing OOS might be easy, or might require a bit more work. This article goes into some workflows, that might be helpful: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/436751?tstart=0
    I can feel your pain, as I almost went crazy trying to fix OOS in a client's Project. They ONLY had the finished DVD, from which to work. The disc met the DVD-standards, so everything ripped/Imported fine, and when the simple edits were done (IIRC, there were four scenes, that had to be shortened, and then several Titles added), everything played fine in the Timeline. However, when I Transcoded that Timeline to be authored in Adobe Encore, two scenes went OOS. I went back to Premiere, and checked - all perfect there. I tried to judge the number of Frames that the Audio was out, in those scenes, and nudged them, tested, nudged, tested, and no matter what I did, I could never get the output files perfect, when Imported into Encore for authoring to DVD-Video. I tried DV-AVI, and letting Encore set the Transcoding automatically (usually a great way to work), I tried manually setting the Transcoding in Encore. I tried outputting to MPEG-2 from Premiere, and Importing that. No matter what I did, those two scenes were just OOS, and I could not even seem to improve them - it was like they were just locked OOS. I finally did some more editing, to break things up a bit, added a cut-away shot here, and there, and minimized the perceived OOS, but could never get it perfect. It was like trying to pick up quicksilver with a pair of tweezers!
    Good luck,

  • 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...

    I wasn't aware this was not on your own network. That of course narrows down your options considerably.
    Please don't hijack the thread on this, but by hiding the ssid vs just setting a obfuscated name lets this decision pass as a network security and not as a social or privacy-related concern (which it really is).
    I don't see in the slightest how I would be hijacking your thread. Hijacking a thread means asking your own question in someone else's thread. I am merely pointing out it might help during troubleshooting, and that it is frequently known to cause problems with Linux.
    And no - hidden SSIDs aren't a 'security' feature. It's not because you can't see it scanners can't see it or intercept the SSID in traffic . I'll leave it at that.
    Also - and this might be relevant to your problem - I found this article which states
    It's a violation of the 802.11 specification to keep your SSID hidden; the 802.11i specification amendment (which defines WPA2, discussed later) even states that a computer can refuse to communicate with an access point that doesn't broadcast its SSID.
    And, for the incredulous:
    And, even if you think your SSID is hidden, it really isn't.
    Maybe the IPW3495 driver's 802.11 implementation got tightened, have you tried using an older kernel?

  • M-Audio Ozone problem

    Hi,
    Anyone else using an M-Audio Ozone on an Intel Mac?
    Since switching from iBook to Macbook I've been unable to use my M-Audio Ozone midi/audio i/f.
    On installing the original drivers that came with it I could hear sound but MIDI appeared not to work.
    Opening prefs and selecting Ozone, I was informed that it would only work on PPC.
    I then downloaded an update from the M-audio site and now I don't even get sound.
    Opening it in prefs now says "unable to connect to m-audio ozone is it connected?".
    I've tried uninstalling and re-installing a couple of times, to no avail.
    Any ideas appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I just reinstalled the original drivers then upgraded to the latest from their website again and am back to having sound but no MIDI.
    I've dropped M-Audio tech-support a note so I'll wait and see what they say.

  • A few questions before I buy Logic Pro (also anyone use M-Audio Ozone w/it?

    Hello. I just bought a mac (my first one). I plan on getting Logic Pro, but have a few questions.
    -Do I need an audio interface to use the program?
    -Does anyone use the M-Audio Ozone with Logic? If so, do you recommend it? I know USB isn't as fast as Firewire
    -If the Ozone isn't a good audio interface, which M-Audio interface do you recommend? (i might be using Protools M-Powered as well so that's why I want M-Audio)
    -Is there a plugin similar to McDSP Filterbank for Logic?
    I won't have too much hardware so I don't need too many ins/outs.
    Thanks

    Ok well do you have a piano? If you take courses you probably need a full piano unless you only want to do synths and pop music, the Ozone will not do. Do take this into consideration, 25 keys is very very small. The cheapest best piano IMHO is the Yamaha P60; piano playing needs weighted keys.
    The audio interface converts analog sound to digital and transfers it to the computer. The latency comes from the transport (firewire, usb, IDE), from the computer (software, operating system and drivers) and from the analog/digital conversion. The audio interface also does the reverse, it provides many outputs for speakers and headphones. It can also optionaly provide MIDI I/O.
    There are MIDI only input/outputs too, which allow you to plug in any MIDI device, such as a Yamaha P60 piano for instance.
    The controller is usually a piano like device (some aren't, they provide only buttons) that sends MIDI information to other MIDI devices (like Logic, via the computer's MIDI I/O). Synths can act as MIDI controllers but provide much more (such as the ability to generate sound).
    The Ozone is both, it displays itself as a MIDI controller through it's keyboard and 8 control knobs, as well as an audio interface with 2 inputs and 1 output. That's why it's good at what it does, it's cheap and compact and does all basic IO. But if you won't record anything, a normal MIDI controller is enough. But if you have monitors, maybe the output from the Mac isn't good enough. In terms of sonic quality the Ozone is okay.

  • Mouse and Audio stutter/freezes with Intel ICH9R AHCI drivers

    edit: Initially (in original post) I suspected the random mouse and audio stutter/freezes were from a driver update. However between a reboot during these updates I had disconnected an eSATA cable from a drive that was not powered. It turns out the ICH9R when running in AHCI or RAID mode with appropriate drivers installed has problems with some HDDs when the drive isn't powered but the SATA data cable is connected. This is quite normal in SATA enclosures which I have plenty.
    What makes this more puzzling is that the stutter/freezes are very tiny and hard to notice IF you don't have any PCI cards connected. With a Intel 100 Mbit PCI NIC connected these stutters became real blocking issue that would have prompted me to return this Gigabyte G33 motherboard (Also affects P35) to the shop had I noticed this issue sooner. I'm not yet sure whether this stutter w/ AHCI/RAID issue affects only the Gigabyte boards but what is certain is that it does affect these in quantity based on how there's others reporting the exact same issue if googling around.

    This issue has been confirmed not to be limited to just my system.

    Same problem here, it's not limited to Vista, also happens on XP/2003 both 32/64 bit. I'm 99% sure it's to do with the Intel AHCI/Matrix storage driver. It'd be interesting to know what your motherboard brand/model is. Mine is Gigabyte DS2R and I've seen reports of this issue on other forums as well. I'm using the integrated Intel graphics and every component is Intel except Audio Realtek and Network Broadcom. The issue goes away by disabling AHCI/RAID but you lose hot-swap of SATA drives and NCQ.
    The primary indicator for this issue is that if any of the SATA ports has a drive that is plugged in but not powered up (and not powered down by the AHCI driver programmatically) then you get this global stutter/studder/hickups/choppy. In audio it sounds like tiny repeats. How bad it is seems to depend on what drive brand is plugged in etc so on some combinations it's very tiny and doesn't happen that often, on other drives it's more constant and easy to detect.
    I'd suggest you report at:

    btw. My AHCI BIOS/OROM version that is shown on boot with AHCI/RAID enabled is iSRC 1.07 08042006, what's yours?

    Though most posts in this thread involve laptops and many of them attempt to isolate the problem in wireless network adapters, let me assure you the same problem can show up in a desktop with wired-ethernet-only. (Admittedly, it's a Realtek onboard gigabit LAN, and Realtek has been fingered by a number of you for its drivers, at least its audio drivers.)
    On a brand new core2-quad P35 chipset machine with 4GB ddrII, with a completely clean install of Vista 32 business, I have been suffering intermittent global stuttering. It affects not only audio (of any sort, through any player, whether or not dsp-enhanced) but also video (you can see it in screen saver motion, for instance) and even cursor or mouse movement (hit and hold the spacebar in a text editor and watch the stuttering fun begin!). It's intermittent but not random; that is, it can disappear for a while after I apply one of my stab-in-the-dark fixes (read on) but can come back and then generally remains until I re-apply a fix. It's been like this since about day 1. Well, maybe day 2 or 3.
    I've seen so many variants of this problem posted in so many forums, with so many theories, that I could spend the next three months doing nothing but troubleshooting it, assuming I had the budget and time to try endless substitute components or re-builds from scratch, but there's no assurance any or all of that would actually fix it. I do have the Intel Storage Matrix AHCI drivers pre-installed, and Intel itself vaguely alludes to possible 'degraded performance in Vista' with regard to those drivers--is this what they're talking about? They don't say. I do have an Nvidia 8800gts, and Nvidia forums are full of complaints about unacceptable issues with their video drivers, but again it's vague, no smoking gun for global stuttering. I have tried THREE different audio configurations--the onboard realtek hi-def; an x-fi elite; and a c-media based Omega Claro card. I have the problem with all of them. Discovering how musical the c-media card is was a happy accidental side effect of this miserable odyssey, but it really just makes it more frustrating, since I now want to listen to music more than ever but can't find a permanent solution to this vexing problem.
    One of the weirdest symptoms is that the stuttering can re-appear (if it has been gone for a few days) just by connecting an external SATA drive, even if the drive is not turned on! Equally weird: simply going into the BIOS and just looking, changing nothing, exiting without saving, can cause it to reappear upon re-boot!
    And to ice this cake of weirdness, here are some things that can make it go away (sometimes, at least for a while): removing the external SATA drive and rebooting; removing and re-seating the cards on the motherboard; and clearing the BIOS (jumper or pull out the battery) and then re-entering all the same settings as were there already.
    The symptoms are driving me nuts, as audio is one of my main uses for a computer, but it's the HUH? quality of these various actions that can seem to make the problem disappear or re-appear that are really threatening my sanity. If anybody can sift a better clue out of these ashes of frustration than I can, I wish you would post it.

  • M-audio ozone driver

    Hello
    i have just bought a m-audio ozone and i need to connect it with my computer.
    the instruction for installing the m-audio driver are not clear on the manual.
    i have OS X and they give instructions detailed for OS 9 saying that before installing the driver i have toinstall opcode OMS.
    does somebody knows if this is true also for OS X? ora i can install direclty the driver?

    Hi,
    I am not an audio expert but when doing a Google search, I found a page with the syetm requirements.
    It looks as if "opcode OMS (Open Music System)" is not needed under OSX.
