Multiple audio playback devices

I have just built a system using the K7N2-L mainboard and am having a problem with multiple audio playback devices.
Actually I have TWO problems, which are probably unrelated.
I have a 5.1 speaker system connected to the onboard audio and an external USB DAC for playback through a hi-fi system.
The first problem is that the USB audio device is only recognised if it's plugged in after the system is booted. If it's already attached when I power up, it appears not to be properly installed.
The second problem is that when I use the Sounds and Multimedia control panel to switch audio devices (Windows 2000 pro) playback continues through whichever device was used first. In order to switch, I have to reboot the computer.
Another system I built using an Epox nforce board does not have this second problem, although it does have the first. With the Epox board, I can even play through both devices simultaneously.

I gathered this from the handbrake side of things:
You can also combine Pro Logic II and AC3 pass-through. This will give you a file that will play anywhere from QuickTime to VLC to the iPhone (using the AAC Pro Logic II track) and play in true surround sound on an AppleTV or in Perian. It is the best of both worlds, and it is only possible in the .mp4 and .mkv containers. Again, MP4 file names must, confusingly, end in .m4v for QuickTimeto read them. To use this hybrid format, in the Audio tab, set the first audio track to be the track you want, in AAC sound. Then set the second track to also use the same source track, and select AC3 pass-through."
I think this is what will ultimately help me. I will let you know.
the answer was righ under my nose.
Thank you!

Need help getting current/default audio playback device from VISTA

Hello,
I need to get the current audio playback device in VISTA.
It's easy enough in XP as I just get this information from the
registry. My understanding is that things are different under
VISTA. I was told you can't change the device but you can get the
device using the following...
--CoCreateInstance(IMMDeviceEnumerator)
--IMMDeviceEnumerator->GetDefaultAudioEndpoint(eConsole)
Problem is I don't know what to do with that. I assume it
needs to be compiled with some library (compiler, library, etc... I
don't have)
So... question, is there already an xtra that can get this
information OR... can I pay someone to make an xtra using the above
info?
If you are able/willing to help, please let me know asap as
project is due next week. I can pay you through paypal.
Thank you!!!!!

contacting him and he might be able to help you with a custom Xtra
to get info on playback devices in Vista.

The Audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog) doesn't work.

Every time I login to KDE through KDM, the notification gives me this message: "The Audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog) doesn't work. Falling back to default"
Everytime I try to play an audio file, the notification gives me the same message.
But everything else such as system sound, online video work.
What can I do to make it work?
thank you for your help

I have the same problem under the same conditions the original poster described. However, under System Settings -> Multimedia -> Device Preference I don't have default as device listed. The devices I can pick are:
-Esound (ESD)
-HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog)
-HDA Intel, NVIDIA HDMI (HDMI Audio Output)
-Jack Audio COnnection Kit.
I can also pick HDA Intel (NVIDIA HDMI) when I check 'Show advanced devices'
When I use Esound I have sound for a while, until after a random time it falls back to the underlying device, which makes sound disappear. When I use HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog), it falls back immediately on logging in and the other choices do never fall back, but when I use them, I have no sound at all. After I loose sound when Esound falls back to another device, sometimes writing sudo /etc/rc.d/alsa restart gives sound back, but mostly I need to relog/restart the X-Server to get sound back.
Is my issue related to the original poster his problem? And how can I fix it?

[SOLVED]How to set default audio playback device?

I have an X-fi forte soundcard that doesn't work on linux, so I'm just gonna use the onboard realtek chip, but I get no sound from that either unless I physically remove the X-fi card.
I use the X-fi when I boot into windows though, so I'd like to keep it...
How do I change the default playback device?
I didn't find anything that worked in the wiki or with google.

oh wait... I just spotted this in the wiki guide, a little too late
NB: Some modules do not support indexing options eg. snd-hda-intel. If you experience problems on reboot edit /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to just have the modules.
what does that mean "edit /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to just have the modules.".... what modules? :S
should I just remove "index=0" from the line?
Edit: yes I should. It's working
Thx man

Dv7 majicjak usb is not added as an audio playback device manager plugandplay on a dv7

when I connect Majic jack to the USB port of my DV7 win 7, autoplay adds it to the devce as a CD rom but the problem is:- I am not able to use the MJ as a audio device.
Majic- jack is NOT added in the audio devices as it is expected as a (USB internet phone Tiger jet )>
the same device is working nicely on another win7 desktop from non HPmanefacturer

My majicjack dues not work on my HP Envy, This is very frustrating, as it works on other computers. This is serious, and I am considering returning the computer. Not sure if it is the Wondows version. HELP!!
Skype works perfectly.

Does not automatically select default audio playback device

***beware: do not purchase the Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 14 - it is a lemon through and through***
Hi there - I am back again with a new problem:
The laptop does not play through my external speakers when I plug them in, even when I set the external speakers to as the default.
Sometimes, the sound does not come out of anywhere, at all.
Sometimes, it plays sound just fine.
Always a restart fixes the problem.
However, I would like to not have to RESTART THE COMPUTER every time I want something on it to work.
Anyone know a work around? Thankyou,

Open the Realtek audio control panel, click Device advanced settings, and choose classic instead of multistream.

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.

Bugged audio playback? When I start working with more than 1 audio track.

Hi!
I have been using premiere elements 12 for editing FullHD videos.
Brand new for me just bought it like 2 weeks ago.
Now during the last couple weeks I have had this MAJOR proglem with editing the audio.
This problem is headache and turns my simple editing into almost impossibilites.
I have had this problem with all my projects. _ALL_
Usually the problem seems to appear when I want to start working with several audio tracks.
At somepoint my projects just get ruined, I simply cannot hear the audio tracks.
The audio starts to disapear randomly from all the audio tracks.
It is not only playback problem. When I exported the video, the audio was partly missing, same as the project.
I have tried to look help on forums and search all what I could find, but havent been able to solve this.
Small fix has slightly helped:
I export audio to single track and bring it back to project. This works but I still usually have more editing to do.
I simply cannot understand why the playback disapears, I fear it is a bug.
I found lot of earlier version problems on people with similar type of problems, but no help for this version of program.
To solve the matter I have changed my audio setting in PE12.
Tried Premiere Elements WDM Sound and ASIO4ALL V2, but same problem on both.
I have looked up that my audio playback device and PE12 matches, and are not muted, and volumes maxed.
I have deleted my C:\ appdata\roaming\adobe premiere elements & premiere elements 12 folder preferences.. not helping..
I press the update pretty much everyday hoping for new version.. But yes, program keeps telling me its the latest.
I usually only work with 3 audio track maxinum. And I am doing really the most basic stuff here..
I have set all my audios to foreground and it has given me best results, but it does not seem to take the problem away as at somepoint randomly my audio playback is missing again, randomly across the playback.
Please anyone? I am feeling hopeless here.

First of all, thank you for replying my message!
I will go and try to answer best I can.
Source media properties:
Progressive frame rate, I record this from a game.
Recording program: dxtory

In addition to that I use wav files for music and narrate

In total sizes of audio involved is usually something like 300mb
What are you or the program setting as the project preset in the new project dialog. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and its Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size readings.
I opened new project and this is what i got:
Editing mode: HD 1080i
Timebase: 25,00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x1080
Audio is 48000 Hz
(I dont know how to change these, btw. Program don't seem to let me change editing mode.
I also looked up my most recent project and found these settings:
Editing Mode: DSLR
Timebase: 30,00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x1080
..and same audio settings
Do the problems persist if you start a new project? Do you find the audio problems develop when the Timeline content is fairly well developed or can the problems occur when there a minimal amount of content of those tracks? Let us look at the size and duration of this project.
Yes, I have had this problem with all my projects. Sometimes it goes away tho, just enough for me to work bit more. My work progress usually starts by clipping the video material, like 1h material to 8minutes in clips. After that I want to work with audio tracks, and here problems start! When I start working with more than 1 track, so the problem is at later stage. To fix the problem a small fix I have used, I export audio like music and effects tracks together to 1 wav and bring it back. After that, I start working with narrate track. To describe the problem with audio:
Audio Randomly starts to disapear when I playback, and can also be gone if I export the video out.
My source videos total size are usually within 80Gb max limit and audio edit material 300mb total.
In my last project my biggest source video was 47GB and leingth of 1h 4m, in addition to that I had 3 smaller videos, sizes of 1GB, 1,54GB and 300MB.
Is there any evidence that you are accidentially moving the audio track rubberband to alter the audio volume. That rubberband is the orange line that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip when you are looking at the wave form display style of that audio track. The rubberband represents audio volume.
No, audio volumes might have been adjusted in my tracks but they are present. The problem is usually like ~2-5seconds, a random audio track can be heard (like music or narrate) or just no sounds at all. This makes it very difficult to work with the audio. Also I gotta say that this problem starts by simply having the 2-3 audio tracks.. In my recent project the only adjustment I used to edit the audio was fade in/out.
I don't have any other audio problems with any other programs.
I am more than happy to provide more information if needed. I hope this information helps.
In addition I can say that when I close Adobe Premiere Elements 12, it crashes. No idea why.
I have also looked up my firewall settings, anything involved adobe and premiere..
In addition some effects like HD text templates make "Adobe Media Core CS6" crash. I tend to just not use em, or if I need em, I add em at end of the edits.
I hope this helps, I would really like to solve this problem.
Thank you alot for taking the time to answer! I welcome anyone to help mee too! Please giev links to similar problems too. Thank you everybody!

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).
Ian

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:)

How do you select two audio capture devices?

Hi all,
At the moment I'm simply using CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList to get a list of all the capture devices on my system. Now when I print this it looks like this...

Now my system actually has 2 michrophones attatched to it. At the moment I'm using DirectSoundCapture to record audio. My first question is, how do you detect multiple audio capture devices? and then of course, how can you record off of different audio capture devices?
Anything would be helpful, if theres a tutorial somewhere on this which i've missed somehow, please tell me. I'm probably missing something pretty major I figure.

I posted in a different thread that I was using the old javax.sound.sampled library to try to record. However, using this library it was quite simple to get a list of devices which could then be used to make a SourceDataLine that could be used to record. However, I was having trouble actually recording and switched to JMF as it has more features and I thought it would be simpler to use. It probably is but I have been struggling. I can record audio in JMF fine but I cant get a device list as I could with the javax.sound.sampled library.
I'll put the code I was working off in here anyway. It shows what I want to do, I just want to do it in JMF.
Note that this code was written 4 years ago by a Matthias Pfisterer and not by myself.
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFileFormat;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem;
import javax.sound.sampled.DataLine;
import javax.sound.sampled.Line;
import javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException;
import javax.sound.sampled.Mixer;
import javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine;
import javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine;
     /** List Mixers.
          Only Mixers that support either TargetDataLines or SourceDataLines
          are listed, depending on the value of bPlayback.
     public static void listMixersAndExit(boolean bPlayback)
          out("Available Mixers:");
          Mixer.Info[]     aInfos = AudioSystem.getMixerInfo();
          for (int i = 0; i < aInfos.length; i++)
               Mixer mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(aInfos);
               Line.Info lineInfo = new Line.Info(bPlayback ?
                                        SourceDataLine.class :
                                        TargetDataLine.class);
               if (mixer.isLineSupported(lineInfo))
                    out(aInfos[i].getName());
          if (aInfos.length == 0)
               out("[No mixers available]");
          System.exit(0);
Calling this method on my system will print the following.
Available Mixers:
Microsoft Sound Mapper
AK5370
SoundMAX Digital Audio
AK5370 (2)
This looks very different to what I get when I call CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList()
How can I achieve the equivilent in JMF?

[SOLVED] ALSA multiple audio source playback

I noticed that by default alsa doesn't allow for playing from two or more sources simultaneously. For instance playing a youtube video while already playing music from mpd will result in having only sound from mpd. How can I enable playback of multiple audio sources in alsa? Thanks
Last edited by hesse (2012-07-13 22:24:29)

I put this in /etc/asound.conf
pcm.dsp {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
and left the settings in mpd.conf like this:
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "ALSA Device"
The mixing now works with multiple audio sources! Thank you.

No Digital Output available in Playback devices (USB audio device)

If one has USB audio device with coax/toslink out, with proper drivers (like ie TurtleBeach Micro Advantage) available & installed then Digital Output is available to select in Playback devices. (and one can play AC3/DTS to external amplifier with ie
VLC or MPC-HT with AC3Filter DS filter)
But some USB devices (ie Phonic Digitrack -
http://www.phonic.com/en/digitrack.html ) do NOT come with drivers (as Windows has default build in). Digitrack uses TI
Burr-Brown USB Audio Codec 2906 -
http://www.ti.com/product/pcm2906
Sadly these Windows drivers do NOT have a clue about what the device actually has as inputs/outputs
So even it had coax digital out & the sound IS send via it, the actual data send is in right way, not recognized/played correctly by Digital Amplifier (AC3/DTS)
Does anybody know of a hack to make Digital Out available?
Seb

Hi,
Generally speaking, An Audio Device do need more driver besides USB driver to make itself work properly. In terms of your situation, USB driver is not enough to make your Audio Device works properly. I think S.Sengupta
is right. Actually it would be better to contact Digitrack support to confirm its product compatibility with Windows 7.

No HDMI Audio, Failed to Play Test Tone, Can't Change Default Playback Device

Hello, I'm experiencing some real trouble with my HP Pavilion dv6-2160us (with the i3-330M, no dedicated graphics) Windows 7-64 bit, SP1 PC, and I would greatly appreciate some assistance.
I've created a new thread because, despite the fact that many other people have experienced a problem similar to this and have posted what worked for them, nothing has worked for me.
The Problem(s):
My main problem is that I cannot get any audio to play from my PC to my HDMI HDTV.
When I plug my HDMI cable into my PC and TV, the TV is recognized in Playback Devices, but nothing can play to it.
When I try to test the TV in playback devices, I get a "Failed to play test tone" error.
Additionally, I'd like to mention some other odd behavior that I think may be a part of the main problem.
In Playback Devices, I cannot change anything. I can't disable or enable a device, I can't set default playback or communication devices, and I can't save changes inside device properties. Every time I try to change something, like the default playback device, nothing happens or the changes are immediately reversed.
The Question:
How can I get audio to play over HDMI on my PC (It's not a problem with the TV, my other HP machines play audio over HDMI to it just fine.)?
What I've Tried:
I have tried:
Changing the default playback devices, which I'm unable to do
Running the Windows 7 Audio Playback troubleshooters from within a clean boot state
Uninstalling and reinstalling the Intel(R) Display Audio driver
Uninstalling and reinstalling the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Uninstalling the IDT PC Audio program from Programs and Features
Disabling the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Nothing has worked.
The drivers I have are the latest issued by HP
How can I get this working? I would really appreciate some assistance.
I'm at the point where I'm ready to try pretty technically-involved suggestions, so, please feel free to post those.
Your expertise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

W540 no HDMI audio in playback devices

Hello,
i am trying to get the miniDisplayport to pass audio. i have a minidisplay port to HDMI adapter, a HDMI cable and a TV that i know can recieve HDMI audio.
however, there isnt an option for HDMI/displayport in the listing of playback devices:
what can i do?
thanks,
Tom

Assuming your W540 has an nVidia discrete graphics chip, the miniDP port is part of the nVidia graphics digital audio hardware, not the Realtek HD Audio analog (i.e. speakers/headphone) hardware. Have you installed the latest nVidia drivers?
I have a W530 and not a W540, but I would think if you had the proper current nVidia drivers installed it would also have included not only the graphics driver but the HDMI audio driver as well in the package. When you connect the TV with the miniDP->HDMI cable you should see that digital audio option available in "playback devices".
Here's my own experiment a while back, connecting my own W530's miniDP output through a miniDP->HDMI cable (I don't use and adapter + HDMI cable, I use a simple straight-through cable with miniDP at one end and HDMI at the other) to my Panny 65VT50 HDTV. Note that the digital audio option from nVidia was checked as the default in "playback devices", and I DID get sound from my TV.
Note that on my W530 I DO NOT USE OPTIMUS!!! I have "discrete graphics" specified in the BIOS, and the built-in Intel HD4600 graphics is NOT BEING USED AT ALL!! The Intel graphics doesn't show up in Device Manager, nor does it show up in nVidia Control Panel. Again... I DO NOT USE OPTIMUS.
I run strictly using the nVidia K1000M on my W530, and am using the latest nVidia retail graphics driver 340.66 downloaded from the nVidia driver site and installed with my W530 in "discrete graphics" mode. Thus the miniDP connector on the W530 is guaranteed to be controlled by the K1000M, both for external monitor/TV video as well as for external digital audio.

How do I get Independent Headphone to be the default playback device in Beats Audio?

In the Beats Audio control panel (I own a Pavilion dv7-4051nr) the only option listed for Independent Headphone is default communication device. The only time I have been able to enable Independent Headphone for sound playback was through Windows Media Player (Tools>Options>Devices>Speakers>Properties). I thought the audio was superior and played louder compared to using the Speakers and Headphones as playback device for headphone listening. However, the next time I logged on and attempted to play a CD with Independent Headphone there was no sound output despite the fact that the Independent Headphone volume control on the taskbar indicated it was working. When I switched to Speakers and Headphones, sound was delivered to the headphones as normal.
