Multiple audio outputs/inputs with OX Yosemite

Hi! I want to use 2 headphones (with each a microphone) at the same time to record a live radio show. However, with OX Yosemite, I can't seam to be able to select more than one output and input simultaneously. Is it possible to do that? If not, what should I do?
Thank you!
-Marianne

If you need only multiple destinations, then you don't need to make an aggregate device. Create a Multi-Output Device in the "Audio MIDI Setup utility" (located in the Utilities folder inside the Application folder.
Add any Audio Interface to it. You can rename it if you want and then select that device in the GarageBand Preferences as your Audio Device.
Here is an experts from my manual "GarageBand X - How it Works" where I explain the app a little bit more.
Hope that helps

How to connect Digital Optical Audio output iMac with Receiver Input

I have connected iMac with onkyo hts-3300 home theater system receiver through optical audio TosLink Cable.( http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Optical-Audio-TosLink-Cable/dp/B001ZU3G2I/ref=sr12?ie=UTF8&qid=1292865309&sr=8-2 ). Unfortunately there is no sound coming out from the Home theater system. I have verified the Receiver optical input is working fine by connecting with my TV optical audio digital out put and the it's working great. The only difference between TV and iMac is, on my TV, it has optical audio digital output and I can use this cable (http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-A102-02M-Digital-connectors/dp/B0002WPREU/ref=s r11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1297320792&sr=1-1) to make it work. I can also verified my optical audio TosLink Cable working because I can see the red light coming out from the cable. So the only problem could be from iMac. I doubt I need to change the additional setting to configure iMac to use external optical audio setting instead of the buit in audio setting. Hoe can I able to do it? or my iMac(IMAC 21.5"/3.06/2X2GB/500GB/9400M-ITP
MB950ZP/A) doesn't support optical digital audio out put? I have follow this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12769423&#12769423 and to my surprise which doesn't work out for me. I doubt that i need to change some setting, but when I got to setting>> sound I cannot change any setting. I was quite depressed aldy. Can someone answer my question as i m a newbie here. Thanks a lot

Thank you very much for your reply.
@Király : May i know how to Open Audio Midi Setup? Is this Audio Midi Setup is in the locatated in the Setting in Mac Snow Leapord OS? or how to locate this "Audio Midi Setup " in Mac enviroment. Is it possible to open this Audio Midi Setup in windows 7 enviroment also? I Just want to get the audio from my iMac in Hts-3300 onkyo home theatre. YOur help is much appreciated
@rkaufmann87 : Thank you very much for your sharing about this http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/ connection. for me what i understand is the digital audio output in airportexpress is the same as the audio out put in iMac in terms of details sepcs. So this airportexpress will only help you connect wirelessly to home theatre system, rather than waired connection. Other than that nothig much difference. So there is no point for me to spend extra bucks to attain the wireless connection. Unless the airportexpress have optical digital input, which i believe not. Correct me if I m worng, thanks

Send same stream to multiple audio outputs

Hi! I've just unsuccessfully tried to send the same output (an iTunes stream) to *headphones line out* and *usb conected speakers* (harman kardon). I've tried with "Soundflower" feature "aggregate audio devices" but I was only able to play from one single output. I also tried with *Audio Hijack pro* but with no luck, maybe because of my lack of experience with that program. Has anyone any clue about this situation? Thanks a lot!!
p.s.: I don't know if this is the right forum to post my question, moderators feel free to move it to the appropriate one.

Audio Hijack Pro will do it. Use "Sound" system preference to set output to one device you want. In Audio Hijack Pro's "Input" tab, set "Source Type" to "Application", select iTunes, click "Hijack", make sure "Mute" is off, go to the 'Effects" tab, click the top-left blank square to insert an effect, choose "Auxiliary Device Output" from "4FX Effect" and set "Device" to the other desired audio output. Use "In" gain on the effect to control its volume.

Multiple Audio Outputs

First off before I get to the point...
I would have submitted this through the iTunes feature request form, but it's been removed. "iTunes feedback" is now simply "what would you like to buy".
Anyway... I've got two audio outputs on my system - built in audio which goes to the internal speakers, and USB audio which goes to some better external speakers. I'd like to use the internal ones for regular stuff, and the external ones for "real" audio apps.
Most "real" audio apps are smart enough to detect external speakers, and let you select them explicitly, while non-audio apps just use the default, so it works fine...
Except iTunes doesn't support this.
Why can't I explicity select the Audio ouput I want to use. It's not a security/copyright thing, as I can already output to the device by setting it as the default output.
iTunes should spot multiple audio out devices, and pop them up in the Computer/airtunes button.
(actually Airtunes SHOULD be a regular audio device, and then this would all work as it should, but that's a different argument, which I'm not going to win).

You can select your sound outputs using system preferences. select sound , select device output.
or you can go into utilities and open audio midi setup and choose your system output.
Hope this helps:)

Using multiple audio output devices.

Hey, does anybody know a program for assigning different audio outputs to different applications. For example, having Safari and the OS outputing to the computer speakers, while iTunes and Muse output to bluetooth speakers/headphones (non airport). Can it be done?

Sound Bunny is a nice replacement for Detour, which got lost in the move from PPC years ago. Hoever, there is a small bug with sites with audio (auto-play audio, that is) in Safari 7 (at least). They return the error below and won't load. This happen on other sites, but if it happens on the Google site as well, then something is seriously wrong. The company tech support insists: "SoundBunny will not stop any website from loading. SoundBunny is a audio controlling software and does not control which websites to load." ~ Abu; Prosoft Engineering Customer Support
Even after sending them two screenshots like this, I have gotten no response and no answer to how I might REMOVE the plugin from Safari. So while I like the program, I would be able to RECOMMEND IT if the comapny was at least responsive and recognizes that there is, in fact, an issue to be resolved.

Multiple audio output

I need a software that will give me user interactivity.To
swap movieclip and swap sound on keyboard events
I need one pc to be able to do this. However here is the
problem..
I can get as many movies playing as I like by fiddling around
with the stage and positioning mc's etc.(This was using flash) and
they swap and change properties etc when the relevant event occurs.
The sound is a big problem. I need to have each of these
movies with its own unique sound.So that lets say I have five
moveis each will have its own set of headphones. I will be using an
M Audio ten channel output sound card
and I need to be able to send sound seperately to each of
these headphones. That is five stereo channels.
Basically during authoring I need to be able to say play
"sound_1" on channel one of my audio interface..play "sound_2" on
channel two etc. I have been searching for a software solution to
this problem for a little while now and then remembered Director.
We used flash before and we had to mute and pan channels with
a sound object but this still only gave us two.
We cannot use a whole bunch of pc's to achieve this and
besides that just seems a cumbersome way to achieve the above.
If anyone knows if Director is cabable of doing that I would
be most gratefull to hear from them. Or even any software that will
work. If you have attempted or come across an answer to this
problem I would also be delighted to hear
Thanks in advance
Peter

Is there a way to choose the various sound cards on your
computer? The link you suggested only applies to Mac and I'm
looking for something cross platform.
I choose:
sound = trace(_sound.soundDeviceList)
and I just get
-- ["DirectSound", "MacroMix", "QT3Mix"]
Can I get the actal names of the sound cards attached to the
computer?
Thanks!

Multiple audio outputs - HDMI & Audio out

Hi all,
This is driving me a little nuts, so any help greatly appreciated! With the new Mac Mini models, you can have audio out via HDMI or the line out. I am thinking to hook the mini up to an LCD TV/monitor via HDMI (sound on the monitor) and also to my other TV/sound system via the mini DP and audio out.
I assume when the mini turns on it'll activate both displays (if they are turned on), and from what I understand you can have two displays running. I'd only want one at a time so I'd have the other display switched off. But can the mini output audio to either both, or whichever system I am using? I've read a lot of posts but can't find a definite answer. I only want audio (and video for that matter, but can turn off other screen) to one TV at a time, but do I have to go into the OS audio settings each time I want to swap between the two?
I'm also thinking of using Plex and keeping it open at all times, just sleeping the mini when not in use. Can the mini only output to one source, requiring manual switching to the other (i.e. going from HDMI to audio out)?
Thanks for your help!!

I would consider using a switcher for the video. And use the osx sound output selection to change the audio.

[note] running multiple audio apps along with runescape

Hello everyone
For those battling with their java hogging the audio device *and for those who waste their time with runescape *included* *
Install PulseAudio and follow their instruction, be sure to READ ( and more if you are like me that can't survive without listening to music).
After installing and testing everything go to console type in:
$ padsp opera
Note I use opera, although I'm pretty sure most of you use firefox. Don't bother though, firefox 3.5 will hang on, been looking on how to fix it but not close enough.
if you run
$ pavucontrol
you should be able to see all the applications that uses audio routed onto it and be able to manipulate the volume of each one
Alright going back to the 'dadsp opera' step, go to runescape.org or whatever site that contains java mini games or application that uses audio, run it and you should be able to get it working. In the 'pavucontrol' it'd be marked as "OSS Emulation"
Along with this, be sure to check on libflashsupport-pulse (using 32 bit one personally)
Sorry if this wasn't the section, wanted to post this since it wasn't anywhere. I'd hope it be helpful to others
Cheers

Ok, fixed it! Sorry if I wasted anyone's time. I converted the struggling clips from aac to mp3 and now everything's good.

MSI GS70 2QE - No Audio Output/Input Device Installed

I'm using an MSI GS70 laptop and just recently ran into a problem where my audio device suddenly stopped working.

OS: Windows 8.1 with last updates

Quote from: gilbert1019 on 28-May-15, 09:35:01
May I know how you reset BIOS? And your BIOS version is?
From your picture, it looks like audio driver conflicts, because there are many audio devices in the device managers.
There is a special reset hole, on the right side. BIOS Version E1773IMS.10D
It's not audio driver conflicts, the system is clean, only drivers from official MSI page.
This is bios side problem,OS reinstallation does not help, only bios reset or flash unlocked bios to be able to enable audio device again.

How to chang audio-output-device(s) in Windwos 8

Hi,
currently I’m working on an application that starts by changing the audio-output-device and ends with re-setting the old one.
On Windows XP I do this by changing the Registry-entry “Sound-Mapper” and it works quite well.
I hopefully assume it works on all Windows Systems from XP to Windows 7.
The background is that our program is supposed to play certain multi-channel sounds over an external USB-multichannel-soundcard and it should switch to that device on start. To actually play the sounds we use the AxWindowsMediaPlayer-Class
to integrate the Windows-Media-Player in our application.
However, on Windows 8, it is possible to set multiple Audio-Outputs and the Windows-Media-player has a setting to choose from them (under Options). I was unable to use the Registry-trick to switch the output-device and I could not find
a way to programmatically tell the AxWindowsMediaPlayer to choose the USB-soundcard as an output.
Is there a Way to programmatically(c#) ether change the audio-output-device(s) in Windos8 or to tell
AxWindowsMediaPlayer to use a certain device?
Thank you.

Hi Kristin,
I think your reply pushed me in the right direction.
The waveOutOpen-function is part of the
winmm.dll-API and I think, that API is the solution to my Problem.
Unfortunately I am stuck at this point. I tried mciSendString and mciSendComand. Both are cappable of playing sound, but I am unable to change the output Device.
This is my c# code to open a WAV-File via mciSendCommand:
MCI_OPEN_PARMS open = new MCI_OPEN_PARMS();
open.wDeviceID = 0;//this is somehow ignored
open.lpstrDeviceType = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi("waveaudio");
open.lpstrElementName = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(@"test.wav");
IntPtr ptr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(MCI_OPEN_PARMS)));
Marshal.StructureToPtr(open, ptr, false);
mciSendCommand(Convert.ToUInt32(textBox2.Text),
MCI_OPEN,
MCI_WAIT | MCI_OPEN_TYPE | MCI_OPEN_ELEMENT,
ptr);
Afterwards I use mciSendCommand to start the playing of the sound, which works fine, but no matter what I enter in the “open.wDeviceID”-Line, I always get sound over
the default output.
I use waveOutGetDevCaps to get the number and kind of the output-Devices and this works fine.
Regards, Marc

Audio output port moves and wont let me plug in my cable

Suddenly, when i try and put in the audio jack for my 2 speakers into my iMac it seems to not click in. When i shined a flash light at it the port it seemed to move when i plugged in the cable. This has all happened rather quickly which is making me confused. I use my iMac for gaming and never plug in cables with a heavy hand as i am young and i promised to look after this iMac. After understanding what has happened, i ask my parents what might have happened and they did not have a clue. My question is whether it is normal for the silver ring inside the port's hole usual moves and why my cable isn't clicking in.
EDIT:
- I have tested multiple audio output devices like speakers, earphones and headphones and it still wont click and it still moves.
- My iMac is running with 8gb of ram, Intel Iris Pro 1GB Graphics card and 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 processor.
If you need any more details please request them.

Clean the lint/debris from the connector.

Is there no way to direct an AIR app's audio to different audio output devices?

I'm needing to make a couple of our AIR apps select certain audio devices to send their audio output to, and last year, somebody mentioned possibly using native extensions to do this. I had to start working on other things for a while, but I've come back to this (for the moment), and I've basically learned how to create native extensions.
But so far, they don't seem to provide me any special access to anything going on under the hood of an AIR app. When you stream live audio in through RTMP or RTMFP, the details of the audio are hidden from you. There doesn't appear to be any place where you can actually access the audio bytes that are being sent over the wire. You can specify a certain SoundTransform object for the NetStream to use, but that class is final and a vanilla Flash construct, so even if it may have a way to access the audio bytes, they're not acessible at all.
It really looks like, when a NetStream object starts streaming in live audio, there is no way under the sun to access the audio bytes and direct them to a certain audio output device, with or without extensions. Is this so? It would be unfortunate if Adobe didn't allow this, even through native extensions. Thanks.

Couple quick thoughts..
Limits are important. There's a large amount of work done to keep a clear separation between a users decision and a developers decision. For instance, you can't change a users default audio output because that clearly violates a users decision. That said, here's a whole mess of people debating the issue and actually eventually an undocumented COM API you can find that will actually let you do it in Vista/Win7 (but not 8), however don't expect that to be a 'good thing to do':
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9ebd7ad6-a460-4a28-9de9-2af63fd4a13e/programatica lly-setting-the-default-playback-device-and-recording-device?forum=windowspro-audiodevelop ment
You might want to get a beverage before reading that.
Aside that, RTMP is secured, which is why you can't gain access to the bytes. The entire purpose of it is to assure media developers that their media can't easily be copied/stolen. Adobe doesn't document their method of securing streams but they do publish the RTMP specification. It's entirely possible for you to create your own RTMP server and encryption method while delivering a RTMP stream to custom client that you code yourself which can read the stream. Here's the spec:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/rtmp.html
So I'd say it would be unfortunate if Adobe did give you access to the bytes. You might as well just hand users a mp3 of whatever song is playing because they would steal media left and right.
That isn't to say you can't use a multitude of ways of getting the data going across the default output device. Plenty of apps (fraps/etc) capture video and mixed audio streams. But Adobe isn't going to give you the keys to the kingdom and let you decrypt their protected media protocol.

HT201066 How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?

Hi,
How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?
With Windows I was using Nero software, which is not available for Mac. Is there any similar app for free for Mac?
Thanks!

Hello ingiorgio
You can import the track into GarageBand and then split the tracks there. Once that it is done you can highlight the ruler section and then share the song to iTunes to get them separated out.

FLME to stream multiple audio streams

Is it possible to stream multiple audio streams together with one video stream using FLME.
I need to create a live streaming application that should be available in many languages. My idea is to send 1 video stream + n * audio streams.
Any ideas are appreciated.

FMLE is not able to stream multiple audio tracks.
Perhaps a third party encoder is able to do, but the problem is I think the playback
cause adobe´s pluggin does also not support multiple audio tracks.

Problem with multiple applications using one audio output

Hey there, I'm having issues setting up my 5.1 headset seen here (http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/x-tatic-digital) to work with multiple applications.
Right now I have audio streaming from a flash video, when I try run "$ speaker-test -c 6" I get the following error:
speaker-test 1.0.25
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
If I try open another application which uses this device, the first application has its sound cut off.
2 more things to note:
- My preference for setup would be audio output through S/PDIF and input through USB, with the USB output disabled (To not waste system resources).
- I unmuted all channels in ALSA, however when I ran the test only 2 channels seemed to be working (Front L&R), it may have been defaulting to the USB connection, in which case, that explains only 2 channels being in use, is there a method of setting the S/PDIF as default system wide?
Thanks in advance for any help given!

Woops, I guess my paste messed up, new .asoundrc: http://pastie.org/3706033
I can run both at the same time, however I cannot hear any audio. Do I somehow have to change the default device, if so how can I do that?

EDIT 3:
Didn't last long, now flash crashes and html 5 doesn't work -.-
EDIT 4:
Flash only works when other audio is active, however it has constant popping sound. I went through the system logs to get the errors of when flash crashes, it's audio crashing it, here's the error:
