Multi display sound. MBPro/HDtv

Hey guys, i am in need of some help. this is what i am wanting to do. i have my macbook pro and my HDtv. i have the minidisplay to HDMI adapter with HDMI cable hooked up, got the images and sound working, HOWEVER! i want to be able to do this simple task. i think it can be done, but i could be wrong. is there a way to set up the sound as if i had a video on one screen playing and the audio to the video was only playing through that screen, and music on the other screen and the music only play through that screen insted of audio playing through either just one or both at the same time. i guess i could say "Split Audio". if you understand that. right now i have it to where it playes through both my MBPro and my HDtv, but if i was to say, drag my youtube video onto my HDtv, i want the audio to that video play on the tv only, and if i had facetime pulled up at the same time on my mac i want only the audio of facetime to play through the mac. sorry for the long post, but i want to make sure you understand what i want here.

I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

What model MacBook Pro?
The mini display port on earlier Apple computers only support video. See:

Also, if you go to System Preferences>Sounds>Output do y see HDMI or Min displayport as an Audio out option?

Belkin Mini Display Port to HDTV not working anymore with MBP

I have a MBP V 10.7.5 and I was using a Belkin Mini Display Port to HDTV. This was working perfectly a few months ago and now when I try to connect, My Mac screen will turn blue for a minute but the TV will read "No Signal". There is nothing wrong with the cord and I'm afraid that an update on my computer messed things up. Does anyone have any idea whats wrong or how I can fix this without getting a new cord? Thanks!

Hello,
Using the VGA connector, what resolution is set on the Monitor?
Is there any input choices on the Monitor for port or source?

HT204291 Using Azul media player app on my ipad Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies. Any ideas on a fix. I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video. It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

Using Azul media player app on my ipad Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies. Any ideas on a fix. I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video. It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

Here are the steps for AirPlay:
Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home Button to view your recently-used apps.
Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the icon.
Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
Tap the icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
When you do that you will see an Orange screen
Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

Xcode Multi Display Program

Hey guys,
So I'm trying to create a program in xcode that allows you to display dynamic content on an external display in a full screen window, and on the primary screen, have a window that has controls for the content. Here is my question:
How do I get the display window to 1. Start on the external display, and 2. Get it to go full screen? I know how to enable full screen on the windows, but when I have the window on the external screen and click full screen, it slides over to the primary display and goes fullscreen.
Once I get this enabled its smooth sailing from here.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks! Unchecking of that checkbox — Displays Have Separate Spaces in Mission Control pref — helps! It’s so unintuitive to go there.
Some apps still misbehave but minor. Call Recorder, for example, (an add-on to Skype) is now flung way over to the opposite end of the other display. Weird.
But the bigger problems remain:
1. Brightness is still manual. Automatically Adjust Brightness controls only one (primary) display? No effect on a 2010 LED 24-inch Apple display?!
2. Excel windows still float off beyond the screen. Is MS Excel for Mac 2011 considered incompatible with Mavericks? Every functionality in Excel works fine, except that windows saved in a position outside the display area, like older documents, remain fixed outside the display area! So if the title bar is not visible, there’s no way to grab it and move it! I have to temporarily re-ARRANGE the displays again and again! Then do a save-as or duplicate the document. Uggghh.
Finder windows still don’t keep their views but probably not a multi display issue.

Multi-display windows under Mavericks

Under 10.6.8, it has been my habit (and pleasure) to open very wide terminal windows across as many as three displays in order to see the results of somewhat wide database queries without text wrapping, which affects readability and cuts the number of lines visible on the display window at once.
Under 10.9.3, when I adjust a window over towards another display so that the window would be on both displays, the window is "ghosted" until I let go of the drag bar, and if the move has not fully adjusted the window to land entirely on the display it is moving into, that half of the window promptly disappears.
Am I missing something about window positioning under Mavericks? Or, is there any way to regain the previous, multi-display-friendly window handling in Mavericks?

Multi Display on K230

Has anyone got ANY vidio card to be reconized on the K230 for multi display? I have tried two cards, both were not reconized by the bios but actually did work on Vista at VGA default.
No one in the support staff have a clue on making this work. There must be one card the bios will see and work. Why put the expansion bus in if you can not use them......?

I used the Nvidia 8400GS PCI. Bios did not see it, Windows device manager did not see it, however the computer was using the card as a VGA default (Intel onboard card was disabled in the bios).
I don't remember the other card, sent it back.
I have ordered the Nvidia 8600 to see if that will work, seen in a post that it did.
Also see post: K230 64 bit with Vista Ultimate, this is a post I did awhile back without any success.

Why does my nano make a multi note sound and skip songs

When hooked up to a memorex ipod stereo, my iPod Nano (6th gen) VERY frequently will begin playing a song (while on shuffle/all songs) and after a few seconds or sometimes after a minutes or so the stereo will emit a multi-note sound and skip to the next song in the rotation. VERY ANNOYING to say the least. Is there anyone out there having this problem?

If it only happens when using Memorix iPod stereo, you need to contact their tech support.

Multi-Channel Sound Card?

I have the 13" Aluminum MacBook from late 2008... (The specs for which are at http://support.apple.com/kb/SP500 - I read them but they didn't answer my question)
Does this unit have a multi-channel sound card? If so, how is this used? I'm looking to run Mixmeister Fusion on it, but I'm not sure if the sound card is compatible.
If it's not, is there an external card I can plug in that would make this work?
Thanks!

Mixmeister has some devices that they recommend listed on their web site:

You might also try asking for opinions and advice in their own forums. You'll be more likely to get replies that are truly applicable there, I would guess.

Multi-Channel Sound Cards

Hi,
I was wondering if flash player had support for multi-channel
sound cards. Everytime I play a .swf with sound i only get audio
out of two channels.

The audio interfaces that I use are an EMU 1820 and a Tascam FW-1884 firewire device. Both are fine for what I do (broadcast quality material). I believe the EMU gives better audio quality and is certainly more robust, but the Tascam, being Firewire, is more easily movable between machines. I also like to work with real faders and it integrates well enough with Audition to be usable. The EMU has the incredibly flexible virtual mixer, but I find it hard work keeping my brain up to speed with this.
I also have other cards either inside machines or usb, but these are all just 2 channel.
I'd be surprised if anyone was using Audition for logging, as the requirements are rather specialised. I'm way out of touch with this field now, but the requirements used to be that the recorder could be left to run continuously, and users on the network should be able to pull material off at random while the recording continued. Recording is the fairly easy bit, management is the problem.
I'd have thought any computer based system ought to be capable of high quality. There are one or two low-cost or free loggers, I believe, but I've no idea how useful they are.

How can I operate multi displays on my Imac 21.5 quad core 2.5 and have each display function independently?

how can I operate multi displays on my Imac 21.5 quad core 2.5 using Lion and have each display function independently?

Below are some converters/adapters to look at. If these look like they may work:
USB 2.0 to HDMI Audio Video 1080P Adapter for Windows and Macbook
Matrox DualHead2Go D2G-A2D-IF (or look here)
These should allow you to run multiple displays in extended display mode. Note that these use HDMI as an output so you would need some additional adapter to conver HDMI to whatever your displays require. Of course these suggestions are all academic if such an adapter doesn't exist.
Update:
I just reread your last post and I am confused. Is it only your TV that you are trying to run in extended display mode? I thought you wanted more than two displays. If only the TV it should just work if you are not using mirrored displays. Your Displays Arrangement tab should show both your main screen (one with the little whith menu bar) and the TV. Set the proper resolution and refresh rate for the TV using it's Displays preference window. That is all you need to basically do (ignoring overscan/underscan problems).
Note, if you are using Lion then I have heard that when using full screen mode in Lion additional screens show nothing.

X-Fi: cannot get multi-channel sound or SPDIF passthrough

I've owned an X-Fi XtremeMusic since it first came out, and have been running it with a MCE2005 system. I've had it hooked up to a home theater receiver via SPDIF and 5. analog, but have only had stereo speakers until today. So, right now I'm trying to get multi-channel sound to work. I'm using the latest drivers (have also tried the original drivers) and have all Microsoft patches applied.
First, I cannot seem to get it out of stereo mode. Using the analog outputs to the 5. analog input on my receiver and setting the X-Fi to 5. speakers refuses to produce sound from anything except front left/right. I've used the Speaker Connection Wizard, the THX Console, the Speaker & Headphone console... and no matter what speaker icon I click on the sound comes out of the front left or right as if it is downmixing. I've also tried 4.0, 6. and 7. modes - no improvement. Also, multi-channel sound does not work in MCE setup, games, etc.
Quite by accident I discovered that if I enable CMSS I can get *some* sort of sound from the rear speakers, but only in the sense of an effect. Also, with CMSS enabled, when testing the front center I get the word "front" out of the left/right speakers which then fades out before "center". If I test it again I get nothing (except a slight effect from the rear).
Finally, I cannot get the SPDIF passthrough to work (it DOES work just fine passing out stereo 48khz sound). I've enabled SPDIF on the flexi-jack, I've set Dolby Digital and DTS to "external decoder required", and NONE of my applications present me with an option to use the SPDIF. This includes MCE, VLC and the latest version of CyberLink PowerDVD. Basically it seems that they can't see that there is a SPDIF on the system to use.
Anyone else experienced this? I've spent 5 hours testing everything I can think of and trying different combinations of settings and I am completely at a loss!

Well, I guess I'll answer my own problem in the hopes that it might help someone else.
It seems that hour 8 of frustrated troubleshooting turned up the cure: all of this boils down to Logitech's stupid Quickcam Fusion drivers. With Logitech's "AEC" echo cancellation mode enabled for the built-in microphone, their drivers automatically turn audio acceleration down to second from the bottom. This results in the X-Fi performing nearly no hardware processing (later testing with DXDiag also said I had no hardware buffer). This results in no multi-channel audio, and no SPDIF passthrough.
There are a couple of solutions...
) Disable "AEC" mode from the Logitech Quickcam control panel applet's Audio tab (and reboot). This worked for me.
2) If this doesn't work, go into the Device Manager and disable the Quickcam's microphone (and reboot). This worked for me, but then I tried # which also worked and still let me use the microphone.
3) Logitech's site (which mentions this problem/solution but only in the context of it causing BSOD crashes, not with it messing up multi-channel sound cards) mentions renaming one of their Audio directories to disable the microphone, although I don't see why this would be better than #2 (see http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/...p?p_faqid=4066 for more).
4) Unplug the camera.
So, I'm back in business - or rather, I'm only NOW in business!
Interesting that the Creative diagnostics utility turned up anything amiss. It claimed that everything was hunky dory, when the card was obviously in a mode where it could not possibly work correctly.

I wish to be able to see everything that my ipad is displaying on a hdtv, bt sport, youtube even games. is this possible and what do I need?

I have seen on many forums that this cable doesn't support all apps like netflix etc.. Is this true as I only want to buy if I can use it for ALL applications. thanks

Display Sound waves

Hi
I want to display sound wave files on screen like in ECG(Time series) format.
Rahul

Dear Seniors,
i tried to display my sound.wav file in wave format
(wave graph with time in xaxis and frequency in y axix)
i have tried like this. and can get the byte stream as follows.
File file = new File("e:\\munas\\sounds\\myfile1.wav");
System.out.println("File : " + file.exists());
AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(file);
AudioFormat format = stream.getFormat();
stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(format, stream);
// Create line
SourceDataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(
SourceDataLine.class, stream.getFormat(),
((int)stream.getFrameLength()*format.getFrameSize()));
SourceDataLine line = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
line.open(stream.getFormat());
line.start();
// Continuously read and play chunks of audio
int numRead = 0;
byte[] buf = new byte[line.getBufferSize()];
while ((numRead = stream.read(buf, 0, buf.length)) >= 0) {
int offset = 0;
while (offset < numRead) {
offset += line.write(buf, offset, numRead-offset);
System.out.println("out.length " + buf.length);
for(int ii = 0 ; ii < buf.length ; ii+=10 ) {
// here i am getting the byte value from the Audio Stream.
System.out.println("buf["+ii+"] : " + buf[ii]);
// using this value i planned to draw the desired graph(time Vs data)
am i right in getting the right stream value for my graph??
if wrong, how to get the data to be presented as i like in graph format??
valuable tips and suggesstions will be appreciated much.
ur junior,
-Munas.
