Macbook OS X Yosemite - Logitech headset output audio not working with Rosetta Stone

So I got my macbook air 2014 with Yosemite software and I installed Rosetta Stone and I couldn't get the Logitech Headset (H540) to get the output audio through it. The software will accept the microphone audio, but it will send the output audio throughout the internal speakers of my macbook air, or even worse, it will freeze the program until I disconnected the headset (as soon as I unplugged it from the usb, the software will continue like a nothing was going on).
So I look in dozens of webpages trying to find a solution, but I there was none. I read that for some people creating a "multi-output device" in audio midi resolved the issue, but for most people including myself, it didn't work.
So after trying different options in the Audio MIDI setups, I found the solution!! : If you change the "format" from the default 16000.00 Hz to one higher, it will work like a charm! Now everything is working perfectly for me, including the main reason of this research: Rosetta Stone program.
I hope this post helps and saves a lot of time to any of you having this same problem.
If any other questions (or thanks ) reply to this post.

This is great! I've got one follow-on problem to this, though: My format rate seems to keep snapping back to 16000, and breaking until I go back and fix it again (32000 works fine for me). Any idea how to twiddle things so that 32000 is the default for my device?

My macbook is back from repairs. It is not working with my apple led cinema display. It was working prior to the repairs on the laptop. Is there a setting I don't know about that might have been changed?

My macbook pro is just back from repairs. It is not working with my apple led cinema display. I have followed the directions in the cinema display manual. am I missing something?

Take a look at the Displays preference panel to see if everything is ok, particularly the resolution and refresh rate. Displays will probably try to put the panel for the ACD on the ACD where you won't see it. So click "Gather Windows" to get the ACD panel on to your macbook.
One more thing, make sure you fully seated the mini displayport plug. They can be sneaky little devils in that they need to be fully pushed in.

ALL flash audio not working with G930 headset unless audio jack plugged in once and activated

Problem: Inexplicably and sporadically, ALL flash audio is mute in FF when using a wireless G930 headset connected to USB dongle (physically or wireless), but everything plays fine in Chrome and Explorer. I'm here to tell you what worked for the sake of others, and to make the FF team aware of a problem worth their attention.
Statement: Everything is up to date. FF, extensions, Flash, Java, Windows. I uninstalled flash on FF and my machine and reinstalled on both. My headset audio device is correctly activated in WIndows Audio Devices - all other devices are deactivated.
My current solution: I learned from a prior FF issue involving YouTube videos that YT has something called DASH playback, requiring you to plug in an audio cable to your machine, or the video won't play (WTF right?). An extension called "YouTube Center" fixes this by allowing you to turn off DASH playback. After plugging in a set of earphones into my computer's audio jack, I activated the audio device on the machine, and got audio through the earphones and headset. I then disconnected the earphones, and disabled the audio jack. Audio now works fine on the headset, and I've rebooted the machine, turned the audio jack back on, rebooted firefox multiple times to make sure. Currently, things are fine, but I'm reluctant to plug anything back into the jack.
For some strange reason, FF seems to have trouble recognizing my G930 headset as a valid audio device, or that's my guess. The fact that everything is peachy in other browsers should narrow down the culprit.
Hopefully this helps someone else, and we can find out what the core bug is to make things right.
Ask any questions if you have them and I'll try to get back.

Very nice work.

IPhone 5 Bluetooth Audio not working with stock Toyota radio

I have a 2010 Toyota 4Runner Limited which has the premimum JBL radio in it. Up until recently, I have had an iPhone 4 which worked well with both hands free phone features, along with Bluetooth Audio so I can stream my music from iTunes or Amazon Cloud Players. I dont use the feature all the time, so I am not sure when it stopped working (after upgrading to IOS6 or upgrading to an iPhone 5) but bluetooth audio no longer works. I can still use the bluetooth phone features, but if I go to the bluetooth music tab on my stereo, it states that the portable player is not connected. Siri also works fine through bluetooth, as it it can read my text messages, ask and answer questions through the car stereo, though I cannot make an outgoing call with Siri because after it shuts off siri and starts to dial, my stereo disconnects.
I know Apple updated the bluetooth, but you would think the new version would be backwards compatible, right? Is there a plan from Apple to fix this, because I am sure Toyota isnt going to update the firmware on their stereos just to fix an issue with one phone...

Actually, as an update, mine is now working (the BlueTooth Audio part, Siri still cannot place calls).
I have done this on my first (now smashed) iPhone 5 and my new iPhone 5. It takes a lot of trial and error, but you can get it to work.
First thing is with the iPhone 4, all I had to do was connect the phone in the phone connect screen and it just worked for both. Not so with the 5. With the 5, I have to register it both in the Audo Settings> Bluetooth Audio Settings menus as well as the phone settings on the radio. I didnt know there were two different connections with two different pins. (0000 and 1212). I forget which one you have to connect first, but again, I tried it so many times both installs and it eventually worked. It may be easier to change the name of either the Phone or Bluetooh Audio name from Car Multimedia, so the iPhone can easily connect to one or the other, but I left them both with the same name. I can now play music, and when the phone rings, automatically swaps over to that one.
Play with it and you will get it to work. If I have time, i will remove it and do it again and write down the steps.

Input and output audio not working and no startup chime

The audio, both input and output, on my MacBook Pro has stopped working as well as the startup chime. Otherwise the computer starts up and seems to be working normally. Any ideas as to what the problem is and solutions?

Hey, my MacBook Pro has been doing the EXACT same thing off and on for a few weeks now.
I'm just now having time to browse the forums, so I've not even asked about it.
Yesterday it all started working normally - all sounds.
I'll follow this discussion for sure.
There definitely seems to be enough 'Mac-Daddy' Mac Helpers on here to be able to easily resolve this issue.
i.e.: Andreas! Just reading her stuff lets me know she REALLY knows what she's talking about & is able to explain the highly advanced info in terms people actually get!
Thanks for asking that question!

Logitech H800 Wireless Headphones Not Working with Yosemite

I have an iMac 27" late 2012, 2.9 HGz i5.
After installing Yosemite, I no longer get sound via my Logitech H800 headphones. The system recognizes that the USB mini wireless connecter is attached. It also pairs with the headset. However, no sound. I have normal sound through my system speakers. Only the wireless stopped working.
Suggestions?
DC

I don't have any other bluetooth devices. I wish I did that would solve the mystery on if it's the headphones. Update I just messed with the headphone adapter and I hear it in one ear then the other ear only when it's securly in there. If I have it out a little in the middle it catches both speakers sometimes. You think that is the headphones that are defecti've or my second plug in the touch. The reoson I say the second plugin spot is that it works great with simple headphone plugged in.

Logitech USB microphone does not work with OS 10.4.11

My logitech USB microphone was working fine, at one time. Now it does not function. In the sound prefs setup, it shows a level reading, as if it is hearing the input, but there is no output. I have tried every setting I could find in Audio Midi Setup as well, and nothing seems to work, and the "thru" option is not available. Can somebody help me here?

Hi stuntmedia, and a warm welcome to the forums!
See if it's the Mute button first...

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this handoff working?

Audio Not Working with my iChat Video

I have been using my iChat with my iSight for over a year and all of the sudden when I am attempting to chat with my pal, the video works, but my audio isn't.
What is also strange is that for the last few days, I wasn't even able to get into video chatting because of Bandwidth problems.
I haven't made any changes recently...hmmm?
In my Sharing:
I have listed for my TCP Port Numbers:
5060, 5190, 5220, 5222, 5298, 5353, 5678, 16384-16403
Can anyone help?

Hi Christine,
Not sure what you meant by your "modem not being active".
A Modem is the device that connects you to the internet.
With a dial-up modem this just makes the conversion bewteen the computer's signals to those acceptable over the telephone system.
ADSL and cable modems do a similar job in an "always on" way.
However most of these device can route as well.
Now it is possible on some devices to set them so that they are in Bridge mode. This means they act more like a dail up device and do not route.
Moving on from this, we have some devices that although, the pass on the the login to the internet responsibility to the next device in line (an additional router or a computer), also require the ports to be opened.
Soooo. With me so far ?
These ports can be opened by different methods (depending on the devices capablilities).
One method is Port Forwarding.
This reqires that you list the ports you wnat open and it gets pointed to a IP address on your local network (Computer).
I was aksing if anything likel this last stage ahd ever been done to your Modem ?

MSI GT70 audio not working with hmdi after windows 8.1 update

When I connect my laptop to the TV, the video comes out fine, but the audio for the TV does not show up in playback devices. It worked fine with windows 8, but after the windows 8.1 update it stopped.
I have tried updating realtek drivers, but it still doesn't show up. updating other drivers also doesn't work. plugging the cable into the computer then booting it up also doesn't work like it did for other people. This is really making me mad... any help would be appreciated.

Pah, no probs to my ext. monitor speakers via HDMI, GT70 0NE, Win 8.1.
Have you tried assigning HDMI one on audio tab as default and see if sound will come out to tv? if so then that was the problem.

Audio not working with Skype

after downloading skype from its website, the microphone or the incoming volume isnt working on skype calls. i tried calling my friends and nothing... i couldnt hear them, they couldnt hear me

I have the same issue. We were approved for PIC federation yesterday. I ran through the Microsoft provisioning guide and removed the existing Skype federated provider "Remove-CsPublicProvider -Identity skype" and added it again "New-CsPublicProvider
-Identity Skype -ProxyFqdn federation.messenger.msn.com -IconUrl "https://images.edge.messenger.live.com/Messenger_16x16.png" -VerificationLevel 2 -Enabled 1". I added my hotmail.com email address which had long since been linked to my Skype account.
I signed out of Lync and then back in. I can see the new Skype icon in the Add a contact outside your organisation wizard. It allowed me to add the contact but it appears offline. If I try to IM it tells me that the contact is offline.
However I can place an audio call from Skype to Lync and from Lync to Skype with no issues. I guess I will wait a little while (as many are suggesting) and see if that fixes it. I'm at a loss as to why else it wouldn't work.
Best Regards Randy Chapman

My Logitech Webcam 500 does not work with Flash 10.4

I am running 32-bit Windows Vista (unfortunately!) and recently upgraded as recommended to Flash Player 10.4.1.53. Now when i go to some websites and want to use my webcam, it just brings up the settings window with a check box for Enable Hardware Acceleration. But it just stays even when i close the window, just pops right back up and the camera never opens.
The webcam works fine on other sites - ie: Yahoo Messenger. What gives??

Please check your Flash Player version again: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
As for the Flash Player Settings window, can't you switch to the Camera panel (the left-most tab, beside the Close button)?
