New 64bit drivers today (may 12th) and audio cons

for those that are running xp64bit, official, non beta drivers and an audio console application were released today.

Hi Jayk88,
I think GreggH is talking about the one released on the 29th of May. This beta driver is meant for the X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI version only. The latest beta driver for the PCI-e card dates back to 6th Feb.

    Backup your data off the machine to a external drive (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
    Create another Admin account in System Preferences and log into it, delete your Admin Account and reboot.
    Optional: Open Disk Utility and Erase Free Space (Zero good enough, 7x for military level, both take time)
    This should be good enough to remove just your account and data without the hassle of reinstalling the OS and all new programs again.
    However if you need that level, then c boot off the 10.6 disk (or command r boot on Lion) and use Disk Utility there to Zero or 7x erase the OSX drive/partition, quit and reinstall OS X. Much more work that likely is unnecessary in your case.
    Good Luck.

  • New to iMovie, create live video and audio?

    Hello, I am trying to create a video of a live musical performance to post on youtube and have figured out how to use the isight to get a video but can I use the biult in mics to record live audio with the video?

    Hello, Nateomite
    As Karsten says, you will certainly get better results and much more convenience with a camcorder.
    However, if you decide to use your MacBook, the built-in mic can record audio with your video:
      in iChat: iChat > Video > Record Chat records both video and audio.
      in iMovie: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/7.0/en/10172.html
              tells you how to record using your MacBook's built-in iSight (and mic.)
      Other movie/video recording apps may work differently, but most allow sound with video.

  • With newer MacBook Air, sending both video and audio to an LG TV works fine, but I want to send the audio to a sound bar attached to the TV.  Any way to do this?

    I am trying to get audio to play through the soundbar attached to the TV for great sound.  Works fine with Apple TV, but on the MacBook Air, system preferences will only find the TV speakers.  If I change the settings on the TV to external speakers (the soundbar), then I get no sound at all.  The HDMI connection does what it is supposed to do, providing video and audio, but the audio can only go to the TV.  I don't know if you can go backward and send only video through HDMI and then connect to the soundbar through the mini jack ports on the computer and the soundbar.  Any solutions will be appreciated.

    its important to do this in the correct order so the camera will be senced by the Mac and to prevent the Firewire connection from electrical damage:
    power down your Mac
    connect firewire from camera to Mac
    power on camera and insert tape in camera and play back
    power up Mac
    start QuickTime
    File > Preferences > record tab
    video source - select the camera you have
    sound source - select the camera you have
    quality - select device native
    the video should show in the QuicTime window
    a  green line below video will show presence of sound-it will play through the speakers if they are selected in system prefernces
    rewind tape and playback
    click on red button to start recording

  • Does 10.5.6 have new firewire drivers?

    Just checking because I've been having some issues that seem driver related. The two I'm interested in are:
    AppleFWAudio.kext (Current is 2.4.2)
    IOFireWireFamily.kext (Current is 3.4.4)
    They can be found in Machintosh HD\System\Library\Extensions. If someone could check it out for me I sure would appreciate it. Thanks.
    Dustin

    Basically I have a new macbook pro 2.4GHZ running 10.5.6 with a Mackie Onyx Satellite that actually worked (a bit) under 10.5.5. I have sent it to the repair shop because it has internal issues but that is another story.
    I have noticed that my extensions folder does not have the AppleFWAudio.kext file. I was going to back it all up and then redo the 10.5.6 combo update but my Firewire WD Hardrive failed. So...
    • I downloaded the Firewire26 SDK from the Apple Dev Site.
    • Once I get the HD up again I will back up my machine and install the 10.5.6 combo
    • If the FWAudio.kext is still missing I will then install the firewire SDK
    Short of doing that has anyone else got any advice or fixes?
    http://www.macmaps.com/firewirebug2.html
    Is a good read (provided by a brody) but there is nothing recent for 10.5.6.
    Meanwhile Mackie has no new drivers.
    I actually installed the drivers for the MOTU traveler (available from Versiontracker) when I was running 10.4 and this solved my Mackie Onyx firewire problem. Sometimes these rival companies have new firewire drivers for similar devices and it works.

  • S5503w win7 64bit ethernet and audio drivers

    I recently acquired a Pavilion Slimline (s5503w) desktop PC.  For whatever reason the hard drive was blanked out when I recieved it and upon installing Windows 7 64-bit (Ultimate Ed) I've had quite some time locating the proper drivers.  Attempting to use the recommended drivers from this website resulted in a 9996 error, you don't meet the requirments.  Proper recommended installer for that version of windows, but no luck.  I've also tried installing the Ethernet and Audio drivers recommended by Nividia's website.  A 15.49 package, but though it recognizes the video card it doesn't notice the onboard Ethernet or Audio.  Neither of these devices is listed in device manager as far as I can tell either.   No typical yellow exclemation mark stating that the driver is missing.
    Any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly apperciated.

    Hi:
    I don't think there is anything wrong with the hardware.
    I would reinstall W7.
    Then right afterward, install that nForce chipset driver first and reboot.
    Then the video driver I posted and reboot.
    Then the audio driver I posted and reboot.
    If you still have issues, try a manual install.
    Download the free 7-zip file utility and extract the files you downloaded into folders.
    Then click on each device in the device manager that needs the drivers.
    Click on the driver tab, click on update driver, select the Browse my computer for software and browse to the folders you extracted for each device.
    Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and see if the drivers install that way.
    There has to be a way to get these items installed.
    If you stil can't get the drivers installed, please post the hardware ID's for each device needing drivers so I can confirm that they are what they are supposed to be according to the product specs for your PC.
    If you don't know where to find the hardware ID, please read the info at the link below.

  • Windows 7 Wireless and Audio Drivers on 2010 MacBook Pro

    I have a new MacBook Pro i7 2.66 Mhz with Snow Leopard and dual boot to Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate. I can't find the correct drivers (Windows 7 side) to get the audio and the wireless networking operating. I ran the bootcamp setup from the Snow Leopard install disc on Windows 7. It gave an error message that this model is not supported. I then ran each software driver individually from the install disc and was able to get all to work except the audio and wireless. I then installed the Bootcamp 3.2 update from the Internet with no improvement.
    Does anybody know where the audio and wireless drivers can be located for Windows 7? (Apple Support has not been able to resolve the problem yet) Thank You!

    I'm having the same problem with Windows 7 64-bit Professional. I had to go through the same process to get most of the drivers installed. I've had the same issues with the wireless and audio drivers.
    To get the Apple drivers installed, I followed the instructions from this blog post.

    Has anyone had any luck with the rest of the drivers?

  • Ios7 update audio is hissing and static. Please help me get rid of this noise so I may enjoy my audio on my iPad

    Ever since the ios7 update my audio is hissing and has static. Please help me get rid of this noise so I may enjoy my audio on my iPad

    Just for the record, this is what I wrote to Apple feedback:
    (If anyone really knows what the problem is, please let us know.)
    Apple iPad mini. Re: Hiss
    Hi. I am one of the very unhappy people who can't use the iPad for recording since getting ios7.  The apple forum is replete with stories like mine: ios6 recording was quiet - ios7 is noisy. I have tried every suggestion. Why won't anybody at apple tell us what the problem is? I have been using macs since 1986. All I want to do is record my songs on my iPad. Unfortunately for me, I recently brought my iPad-mini refurbished so there is no warranty. If I had bought it new I would be at the Genius Bar until I got the problem fixed. Did I mention how unhappy I am?  Here are the specs: 1st gen iPad mini running ios7. Recording onto Multitrack DAW with a Samson Go mic to a 30-pin USB camera adapter, into an apple brand lightening adapter into iPad mini. Everything works fine except for the HISS.

  • Alcahol 120 percent and new nforce drivers

    http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34891
    latest version told me with new nvidia drivers i had no burner
    so im using an older one
    well this seems to be the fix
    Making it work with the updated IDE drivers is easy, in options change the 'Device Control Interface' from default to the other one. Restart Alcohol 120% and all your devices should be listed.
    might save some one a headache

    Concerning the IDE driver. Same as all the other versions Nvidia has released for me. Complete junk. Also, it appears they removed the file. The links to it are dead or redirected to the 4.12's...which are also junk.
    1. Breaks my Sound Card. System hangs on audio driver install then will no longer boot, except to Safe Mode to remove the driver, due to nForce gameport incompatibility. Standard IDE does not hang, then Gameport can just be disabled (since the nForce2 chip breaks it anyway).
    2. Breaks Easy Recovery Pro (data recovery software) and who knows what else. When it attempts to scan the drives, it fails with a Windows error. Standard IDE driver works fine.
    3. SiSoft Sandra reports slower speeds than standard IDE driver.
    Standard score 35247 kB/s
    Nvidia score 30124 kB/s

  • I'm using OS 10.91 and lately slide shows on some news websites and audio on Amazon have stopped working. Que pass?

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

  • Mouse and Audio stutter/freezes with Intel ICH9R AHCI drivers

    edit: Initially (in original post) I suspected the random mouse and audio stutter/freezes were from a driver update. However between a reboot during these updates I had disconnected an eSATA cable from a drive that was not powered. It turns out the ICH9R when running in AHCI or RAID mode with appropriate drivers installed has problems with some HDDs when the drive isn't powered but the SATA data cable is connected. This is quite normal in SATA enclosures which I have plenty.
    What makes this more puzzling is that the stutter/freezes are very tiny and hard to notice IF you don't have any PCI cards connected. With a Intel 100 Mbit PCI NIC connected these stutters became real blocking issue that would have prompted me to return this Gigabyte G33 motherboard (Also affects P35) to the shop had I noticed this issue sooner. I'm not yet sure whether this stutter w/ AHCI/RAID issue affects only the Gigabyte boards but what is certain is that it does affect these in quantity based on how there's others reporting the exact same issue if googling around.

    This issue has been confirmed not to be limited to just my system.

    Same problem here, it's not limited to Vista, also happens on XP/2003 both 32/64 bit. I'm 99% sure it's to do with the Intel AHCI/Matrix storage driver. It'd be interesting to know what your motherboard brand/model is. Mine is Gigabyte DS2R and I've seen reports of this issue on other forums as well. I'm using the integrated Intel graphics and every component is Intel except Audio Realtek and Network Broadcom. The issue goes away by disabling AHCI/RAID but you lose hot-swap of SATA drives and NCQ.
    The primary indicator for this issue is that if any of the SATA ports has a drive that is plugged in but not powered up (and not powered down by the AHCI driver programmatically) then you get this global stutter/studder/hickups/choppy. In audio it sounds like tiny repeats. How bad it is seems to depend on what drive brand is plugged in etc so on some combinations it's very tiny and doesn't happen that often, on other drives it's more constant and easy to detect.
    I'd suggest you report at:
    http://supportmail.intel.com/scripts-emf/welcome.aspx?id=
    Chipsets/Chipset software/Matrix storage Technology
    btw. My AHCI BIOS/OROM version that is shown on boot with AHCI/RAID enabled is iSRC 1.07 08042006, what's yours?

    Though most posts in this thread involve laptops and many of them attempt to isolate the problem in wireless network adapters, let me assure you the same problem can show up in a desktop with wired-ethernet-only. (Admittedly, it's a Realtek onboard gigabit LAN, and Realtek has been fingered by a number of you for its drivers, at least its audio drivers.)
    On a brand new core2-quad P35 chipset machine with 4GB ddrII, with a completely clean install of Vista 32 business, I have been suffering intermittent global stuttering. It affects not only audio (of any sort, through any player, whether or not dsp-enhanced) but also video (you can see it in screen saver motion, for instance) and even cursor or mouse movement (hit and hold the spacebar in a text editor and watch the stuttering fun begin!). It's intermittent but not random; that is, it can disappear for a while after I apply one of my stab-in-the-dark fixes (read on) but can come back and then generally remains until I re-apply a fix. It's been like this since about day 1. Well, maybe day 2 or 3.
    I've seen so many variants of this problem posted in so many forums, with so many theories, that I could spend the next three months doing nothing but troubleshooting it, assuming I had the budget and time to try endless substitute components or re-builds from scratch, but there's no assurance any or all of that would actually fix it. I do have the Intel Storage Matrix AHCI drivers pre-installed, and Intel itself vaguely alludes to possible 'degraded performance in Vista' with regard to those drivers--is this what they're talking about? They don't say. I do have an Nvidia 8800gts, and Nvidia forums are full of complaints about unacceptable issues with their video drivers, but again it's vague, no smoking gun for global stuttering. I have tried THREE different audio configurations--the onboard realtek hi-def; an x-fi elite; and a c-media based Omega Claro card. I have the problem with all of them. Discovering how musical the c-media card is was a happy accidental side effect of this miserable odyssey, but it really just makes it more frustrating, since I now want to listen to music more than ever but can't find a permanent solution to this vexing problem.
    One of the weirdest symptoms is that the stuttering can re-appear (if it has been gone for a few days) just by connecting an external SATA drive, even if the drive is not turned on! Equally weird: simply going into the BIOS and just looking, changing nothing, exiting without saving, can cause it to reappear upon re-boot!
    And to ice this cake of weirdness, here are some things that can make it go away (sometimes, at least for a while): removing the external SATA drive and rebooting; removing and re-seating the cards on the motherboard; and clearing the BIOS (jumper or pull out the battery) and then re-entering all the same settings as were there already.
    The symptoms are driving me nuts, as audio is one of my main uses for a computer, but it's the HUH? quality of these various actions that can seem to make the problem disappear or re-appear that are really threatening my sanity. If anybody can sift a better clue out of these ashes of frustration than I can, I wish you would post it.

  • Nvidia 64bit drivers and Windows XP64Bit

    Lo ppl , im a newbie here.
    Here we go :
    Fresh install of Windows XP64 on my new Seagate Baracuda ,
    Pressed F6 durring installation for Sata/Raid drivers  - windows reported corrupt files.
    Windows then carried on installing fine, rebooted and system loaded fine.
    K - time for NVIDIA drivers (latest 64bit drivers from nvidia)
    Installed system drivers first including IDE drivers. - Reboot
    System loads till Windows XP64 screen, scrolly finishes, and then screen goes blank and h/drive light flashes but system does'nt finalize boot.
    Tried Roll back on all Nvidia drivers - no help
    2) - Reformat h/drive and whole proccess again. except instead of installing all Nvidia drivers, I just tried the Network drivers - same problem as b'fore
    Rollback also failed
    3) Reformat h/drive and whole proccess again. except instead of installing nvidia system files I installed nvidia display drivers for my Geforce. Same problem windows failed to post. And rollback also fails to repair problem.
    tried system recover and that also did'nt work  
    I'm   as hell.
    Any help plz

    Sorted my problem out -  After reading 3hours of posts on this forum I came to the conclusion that keyboards and psu's are real NB on this mobo.
    My 300W psu could this be the problem I asked myself
    Well went out and got a 500W KME Gold unit not the best but not the worst
    Reformated my HD and did win64 reinstallation
    Installed new PSU unit
    Booted up win64 and installed NVIDIA 64Bit driver manually from Device Driver Menu
    Rebooted and wolla   all works fine.
    So I'm not 100% sure it was the PSU unit, I might temp a reformat again to verify if it was psu or way I installed drivers.
    Now next ?  
    Why does'nt any of the utils on MSI setup cd run on win64 or are there 64bit versions available , or alternative progs that I can use on win64 ?
