MagicJack and Sound Output Problems

I have an interesting issue occurring on my Mac Mini. I am running 10.6.2 with all available updates and have a magicjack connected. I am also using a toslink adapter to my bose system for digital audio out.
Here's my problem:
When I go to System Preferences and select Audio there are 2 choices for output; Digital Output and USB Internet Phone by Tigerjet (magicjack). I, of course, have it set to Digital Output and things work great until Time Machine connects to my external HDD I have connected to my AEBS. When it makes the disk available and starts to backup, my selection of Digital Output changes to USB Tigerjet and my audio stops working. No matter what I do I can't change it back without unmounting the magicjack and quitting all apps that are using sound. I have to physically unplug the magicjack first, then I can go back and change it to Digital Output and my sounds works but the next time I plug the magicjack back in and time machine wants to run it all happens over again.
Anyone have any ideas? I use the magicjack as my home phone so I can't just leave it unplugged.
Thanks

Tried that, thought it worked, but when I played a movie it changed back to USB TigerJet. Thanks for the permissions tip though. I apparently had 100's of files with wrong permissions.

HP ENVY 17 microphone and sound output problems

Hey i have a HP ENVY 17, and i have been having some problems with the microphone, sound outputs and the sound in general. The microphone output haven't been working ever since i got the notebook in November. at first i thought it was problems with the settings, either on the computer or on Skype, which i used for communication. I tried with other Voice Chat programs such as Mumble, Ventrilo and TeamSpeak - neither worked. I got a friend over who knows a little bit about computers, and the only thing he could think of was that the microphone output was non working. I am using Steelseries 7H headset. Now i have to use the integrated microphone which often gives background or typing noise.
Lately i am only hearing sound on the right ear, i have checked my headphones with an iPod, so i know there is nothing wrong with them.
The third problem occurs when i turn the volume over 20% on the computer. It starts to make a background noise, almost like a waterfall, both with headset and without.
Another little problem i have is nothing to do with sound, but since I'm posting this already, i thought i could atleast ask. When i play games the top left side of the computer, right over the fan can get hot while the fan is working on hardmode. If i play really graphic-focused games, like Crysis 2, it gets super hot(i burn my hand if i hold it over the fan). Is this just because it's a laptop and the games demands too much? Or is it dust in the fan or something? And what can i do about it? That last question counts for all the problems
Thank you on beforehand
- Kirrod

I still need help, if there are anyone here who thinks they have any kind of solution to my problem. Like; how do i get it repaired? Send it to HP? How long will it take?
Im sorry if my english is not so good, it's my second language. It might be called microphone input, and not output. The place you put in the microphone cable.
Please help!

Apogee miniDAC and Sound output

There is no sound output from the Apogee miniDAc after the MacPro (2013) awakens from sleep. Sound output does occur if the internal Mac Pro speakers are selected. A restart will allow the Apogee miniDAC to function normally. In searching the threads regarding similar topics, it appeared that this occured with fusion drives. However others have reported similar problems with SSD.
Is this a Mavericks issue? My Apogee miniDAC is connected to the computer via USB.
I would like to maintain the miniDAC since it does provide the interface to my preamp and speakers.
Thank you.

This seems to be a bug with digital audio output via USB. I am not sure if there is a fix or whether you're gonna have to wait for a Software Update to be released by Apple.
BTW: I've always wondered whether this kind of solution gives you better audio out that using the analogue out (i.e. headphone port on the Mac Pro).
Obviously Toslink would be another option but I understand that you are not willing to spend money on hardware to do the same thing differently...
EDIT: Does that thing not have a Toslink input? May be worth a try if you have a 'cable' lying around for that (you'd need a 3.5mm optical adapter for that port though).

Sound outputting problem

Hi All,
I am having continuous problem solving the following sound issue:
When burnt both video and audio files, having used Compressor and Toast Titanium 9, the video plays fine however my sound plays only in two channels.
The sound was designed and edited in Soundtrack pro application. The output setting selected in Compressor is: 5.1 Surround Quicktime, 96.000 kHz.
There is also this warning box coming up, when changing the sequence setting audio output to surround, saying:
' The current audio device does not support the number of outputs set in the sequence settings audio outputs tab.'
Any help/advice will highly be appreciated.
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
First, I'm assuming you are using the optical out of your mac to go to the BDV. With it plugged into your mac goto your system prefs and in the Sound>Output>Devices select Line Out Digital.
In FCP goto Audio Video Settings>A/V Devices>Playback Output>Audio and select 'Built-in Output'. Now click the options button next to the selector. Set number of Channels to 6 and sample rate to 96000.
Now goto your sequence settings (Cmd-0) and under the Audio Outputs Tab click the selector that says 'Load Audio Output Preset' and select 5.1 and click OK
Back on the timeline right/ctrl-click the lock symbol on each track from 3-6 and select the following:
3: 3 (Ctr)
4: 4 (Sub)
5: 5&6 (rear L)
6: 5&6 (rear R)
1 and 2 will already be setup for Front L&R
That's it for FCP 5.1 support
In Toast you must set the audio output to Dolby Digital. PCM only supports Stereo on Bluray and DVDs. Just customize the settings in Toast. Click the customize button, then under encoding select Custom and choose Dobly Digital under Audio.
That should be you good to go
All the best

Mac Mini Singel Core Sound Output problem

Mac Mini is connected to a amplifier, the sound-output is put on 100% this works perfect, but after shutdown the soound-output is set to 50% is it possible to set this always on 100 % ?
thanks

Is the mini connected via the standard analog 1/8" audio jack or via a digital cable?
You could try resetting PRAM from this Apple doco:
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
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.
Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.

HDMI sound output problem with gtx670

Hello again!
I have recently purchased a brand new Samsung TA550 LED monitor to use with my Mac Pro desktop. My Pro posesses a GTX 670 graphics card with (obviously) an HDMI output channel. The thing is, when i plug the hdmi cable on the card and on the monitor and configure the monitor for the appropriate video settings, there is no audio. Then I go to the system preferences ----- sound------ output, and there are no options for hdmi or my tv/monitor.
Does anyone know whats goin on?
Thanks

It is flashed? or it is a straight PC card. And while there is support (you probably want to check other threads and sites and wait a day to upgrade to 10.8.3) some PC cards will not act and behave the same as say under Windows.
I would contact MacVidCards (ebay and MacRumors forum) and see if he can flash it or knows more.

Equium A110-276 DVD image and sound playback problems

A couple of months ago my Equium A110-276 stopped playing DVDs correctly.
The sound and images on the DVDs are slow, sometimes skip and are generally out of sync.
I downloaded the latest drivers however it didnt make any difference. If i stream a video from youtube for example the picture and sound are both fine.
Anyone think of anything I can do to fix it?!
Thanks
Siobhan

Hi
If the video stream looks ok then everything seems to be ok with the graphic card.
I think either there is something wrong with the CD/DVD driver or with the software itself.
I have investigated a little bit in this forum and found this thread regarding a very similar issue:

Mac mini and optical output problems

I have just purchased a new Apple Mac Mini connected it to my Tv via HDMI and now am having problems getting the sound working.
I have connected via optical output and the cable itself works and I can see red lights at either end.
When plugged into the Mac the 'optical output' is greyed out(it does change when plugged in)
When the volume control comes up it has a circle with a cross through it.I have tried what i consider most 'normal' things to try. Currently doing a update of the Mac software. Please Help, PLEASE!

So you have connected via a Mini-Jack -> Toslink cable from the Mac Mini to your receiver? You haven't specified what cables you are trying to use. My guess from the red circle with a X through your digital output is it may not like the cable you are trying to use.
I have the above described setup but I am able to select Digital Output in Sound Preferences. The volume control is greyed out for some reason but does not have a circle with the cross through it so I just control the volume via the receiver itself. iTunes still allows me control of volume, as do other video/audio controls in the web browser etc, it's just the main OS X volume control that is inaccessible.
Strange, but liveable.

Has anyone else had optical sound output problems since the last Apple software update?

I have just read an article about this problem and it seems that there is an issue with the last software update from Apple which has caused problems with the optical sound driver.
My optical output stopped working a couple of weeks back which would probably coincide with the last update that was installed. Still have a red light at the end of the cable but no sound is transmitted.

here's a thread with a possible solution.
https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/790883
if clearing the system cache doesn't work, a factory reset should (just back up anything you don't want to lose).

Report fonts mapping and PDF output problem(Easten European languages)

Hi experts,
I have such a problem.
If i run oracle reports(10g) via reports builder all layouts looks fine.
When i run them in PDF format via application server - report text and numbers strech out off frames, also textfields and text itself becomes bigger in size.
Aplication server runs over windows OS.
Uifont.ali file looks:
[ PDF:Subset ]
Arial..Italic.Bold.. = "Arialbi.ttf"
Arial...Bold.. = "Arialbd.ttf"
Arial..Italic... = "Ariali.ttf"
Arial..Plain... = "Arial.ttf"
Arial..... = "Arial.ttf"
"Times New Roman"...Bold.. = "TIMESBD.TTF"
"Times New Roman"..Italic... = "TIMESI.TTF"
"Times New Roman"..... = "TIMES.TTF"
I think the problem is with Lithuanian(baltic) letters in the text. If i do not map fonts in uifont.ali file i get PDF report without the
lithuanian alphabet letters, but in this case it looks fine(The same as in report builder)
After fonts mapping, i get my lithuanian alphabet letters, but text and numbers strech out off frames, changes the size and etc.
I put the example of my report uotput:
http://pirmas.50webs.com/index.html
What else can i do to solve this problem?
Thanks for any suggestions

Sound Output Problems

hey folks,
I'm here sitting on my Macbook Pro using Skype talking to my parents on the other side of the world, and out of nowhere, using a headset connected to a USB iMic and line static type noise started on my headphone. The input works fine, recordings and live audio chats work fine for input.
Now when I unplug the iMic and use the Macbook Pro internal in/out. Again the input works fine, but I normally have my laptop on mute, and when I unmute the sound or just press the F4 key once to raise the volume, up comes a load POP! and there is no volume whatsoever. It's silent until I mute it again when comes another load POP!.
Funny when using the iMic it sounds like a ground loop or some other noise. But I can still get audio. But when using internal is just pops and I get nothing.
Any hints or ways I might figure this out? I'm going to try booting into a live cd or something to see if the same problem exists.

Thanks iVmichael,
That probably would have worked. But before doing that I booted into Ubuntu 8.10 live cd (which worked really well BTW, video, sound, wifi, bluetooth, etc.)
And after rebooting back into Mac OS X the sound works fine.
So the pram reset might have worked as well.
Thanks!

990fxa GD65 and Sound Blaster Problems

Hi Everyone,
Upgraded my motherboard to a 990fxa GD65 with 2 XFX hd7970 in Xfire. Only 1 slot can be used to set up the sound card, which is a SB Titainium Fatality Professional PCIe sound card into PCIe2 slot. The motherboard see's it, and the device manager see's it. Even put test sound through the "primary sound device" manager and see the green sound bars move when I select a test sound. PCIe2 slot should be fine for this card I would assume. ..........and yes, the boards sound card is disabled in bios. No conflicts with any other sound drivers or hardware that I can detect. Any thoughts???????????????????

Quote from: exileLyk on 29-December-13, 18:28:15
This card needs one PCI-E x 1, right?
By that "Only 1 slot can be used to set up the sound card, which is a SB Titainium Fatality Professional PCIe sound card into PCIe2 slot" you mean that you installed your sound card into the second PCI-E x 1 (above the first PCI-E x 16 slot)?
I'm using the same PCI-E x 1 slot for my Sound Blaster Z sound card without a problem, didn't try other slots though.
Correct. Sound Blaster card in slot #2 which is a PCIe x 1 slot. Can't put this in any other slot because of the Xfire set up. PCIe #1 slot can not be used because of the 990 chip set that is right in the way. It is PCIe slot #2 or nothing. But, slot PCIe #2 should work without a hitch. Once again, card works fine. FUBAR with the motherboard or drivers. I am putting my chips on drivers. Or, something is not good with the mobo.

Using Apple Digital AV Adapter and sound output for iPad 1

Hi all!
I'm trying to hook up my iPad 1 and iPhone 4 to a projector through HDMI that has very weak speakers. My solution is to hook up the video through HDMI and use my headphone jack or use my device speakers for sound. At first I thought it'd be okay because people on this forum say the headphone jack will still work, but no one that posted these question have an iPad 1, they all had the 2nd gen. Does anyone know if it also works with iPad1 and iPhone 4? i know mirroring won't work on my devices, i'm just looking to use AirVideo and Plex to run my videos.
Thanks in advance!

What apps are you try to dsicplay via TV out? On the iPod TV out only dispays with apps that support TV out. The Video app is one of them.

XP Pro, Service Packs 1,2,3, and sound card problems

I recently purchased a white macbook. So far it has been a very good experience, however I am having some trouble with XP Pro and its service packs. I've installed XP and it works fine for the most part however the sound card does not work. I tried to install the sound card drivers but they did not work. My questions are:
- Do I need to install service pack 1 seperately or does it install with XP?
- Can I only use service pack 2 for the drivers to work or can I use service pack 3 as well?
- When I try to install service pack 2, it says that i require 4 more megabytes, I free space, however it still states the same thing, how do I resolve this?

Hi all and welcome to Discussions,
the 4MB error has amde its return with the Service Pack 3, so maybe these insructions can help you:
1. Click Start - Run - Type “regedit” and press enter.
2. Navigate to
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
HKEYLOCALMACHINE
\Software
\Microsoft
\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Setup
3. In the right pane, Right-click and select New - String value
4. Name it as “BootDir” and set its value to “C:\”
XP with Service Pack 2 was always a neecessity with BootCamp.
Microsoft has add some with the SP2 that are needed for BootCamp to work.
For older (pre-SP2 XP-CDs) you can use these instructions http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxpsp2slipstream.asp to make yourself a XP SP2 installation CD.
Works with SP3 as well, but to my knowledge you must have a XP SP1 CD for start.

NGTX560 Single Fan Edition, freezing and sound stuttering problems

I've recently just built a new computer,
CPU- i5 2500k,
Motherboard- Gigabyte Z68M-D2H,
Ram- G.Skill Ripjaws 1600mhz 8gb(4X2kit),
PSU- Coolermaster Extreme plus 700W 52A single rail,
GPU- NGTX560 single fan edition, no overclocks whatsoever on anything.
Storage- Seagate 500gb HDD 7200Rpm Sata
OS- Windows 7 64Bit edition.
Display- Monitor is a LG IPS235, 23.5', if it even matters
When I try to play games it starts to lag, and freeze while causing sound stuttering and then completely freezes the whole computer forcing me to reboot the system. Using the 285.62 drivers.
Games for example include Starcraft 2, which when I open used to freeze straight on the loading screen forcing an immediate reboot. I allowed it through my firewall and now I get past the loading screen and can log in, but straight after I log in, sound stuttering occurs and then the whole computer freezes forcing me to reboot. Another game as an example is Killing Floor, I never got past the "Tripwire interactive" loading screen, looked on google for some fixes, after modifying some .ini files for Killing Floor I was able to get into the menu's, went to options and clicked on display to change some of the graphics settings, extreme rips in the image occured, sound stuttering and frozen on the spot. Retried again but this time didn't touch any settings at all, joined a match, the game loaded but as soon as I entered it froze forcing me to reboot. Need help please thanks
Edit: just tried Starcraft 2, made a custom match vs a bot, got into the game for 20 seconds, started mining minerals then it froze again, this time I can hear the audio still playing perfectly while the image is frozen, mouse can move around, keyboard still works. rebooted after observing these features

Sorry but i have no other video card to test if my system is stable
I haven't tried msi's drivers yet will get to doing that now
I have tried to reinstall SC2 using both the disc provided, and downloading the client from the internet
Ill get back to you with the exact video card model
