New mic doesn't work with GB

I just got a Sterling Audio ST55 mic and am plugged into an M-Audio Mobile Pre USB interface.  However, I'm not getting any sound coming into GarageBand.  I've tried:  switching the cable; switching the input; and Phantom on (and off).  I also tried the mic in a guitar amp and it worked.  Also, my Sennheiser stage mic DOES come through (but maybe a little weak) when plugged into the interface.  I'm not sure what else to try.  Any advice?

Mics, interfaces and computers all speak basically the same language this is standard over all brands. The fact that the light on the interface is not lighting indicates the signal from the mic is not getting to the interface or for some reason the interface can not boost the signal to a usable level.
Condenser mic need to be powered to work and usually provide a strong signal. If the mic is working as it should and the cable is wired correctly (needs to carry the 48v to the correct pins) then maybe the interface is at fault.

  • New Thunar doesn't work with Launchy, Chromium

    After installing the new XFCE 4.8, the new Thunar now doesn't work with Launchy, or Chromium. I haven't tried any other GUI programs that launch the file manager (Gnome-Do, Docks etc), but the only way to launchy Thunar now is via the XFCE Panel, or the desktop (via XFCE programs themselves, in essence).
    I've tested this, and opening a normal folder or file with Launchy means nothing happens. I'm guessing that Launchy is using Thunar here to launch the folder/file, and it's not working. For some reason though, I can launch in /usr/bin, which I'm guessing might be because Launchy doesn't use Thunar for that (only guesses though)? Meanwhile, Chromium downloads can't be opened, and the directory that contains the download can't be opened either. When I click the button that launches the download, or opens the directory containing the download, nothing happens.
    I have tried reinstalling Launchy and Thunar, to no avail. I haven't tried downgrading Thunar, but that's a process I'd rather not go through.

    Hi!
    I don't know Launchy, but Chromium use xdg-open script for figure out which DE (Desktop Environment) is running and then, launch the properly file manager. With the new version of XFCE, this script doesn't detect XFCE and consider a generic DE. There are many solutions, but I just modified the xdg-open script (/usr/bin/xdg-open) and replaced the line:
    elif xprop -root _DT_SAVE_MODE 2> /dev/null | grep ' = \"xfce4\"$' >/dev/null 2>&1; then DE=xfce;
    by a more logical line:
    elif [ "$DESKTOP_SESSION" = "xfce" ]; then DE=xfce;
    . It isn't the best solution because will be a new update for xdg scripts, I guess.
    For Launchy, you can launch it in a terminal and see if say some kind of error, like Chromium did.
    Cheers!

  • Revolabs Mic doesn´t work with Flesh Player

    We use a dual Channel Revolabs Mic (via radio, with analog output). It works very well but if we use Adobe Flash Player(as part of Video Conferencing ver. 145 and .176)  it does not.
    With no speaking it is hissing a it is clanking when i am speaking.
    If i adjust the amplifying within Flash Player, it is erratic.
    I tried different PCs, inexpensive Mics worke at the same Input very well.

    The rate is 44.1khz (default). It works with a 10$ Mic very well. 
    It´s not an echo, I used in ear speaker and made a test record. 
    I suppose there is an automatic level adjustment within the Flash Player settings. It seems to overwrite the  handmade settings.  
    The Revolabs Radio Mic is a 2000$ device. 
    At first we tried two different Win 7 Pc. 
    The problem persists with Ubuntu 14.04.1 and Flash Player 11.2.

  • My new RAM doesn't work with my iMac.

    Hello,
    I bought new RAM 4GB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMM to installed in my iMac 3.4 GHz intel core i7, osx lion.
    I try to installed it alone without original RAM (2GB * 2 pcs) installed to check how it works.
    After press start button, there are 3 beep sounds and iMac won't start.
    I try to reset PRAM follow the instruction, but it won't work.  Because there are 3 beep sounds alarm immediately after press start.
    Does my RAM have a problem?

    My iMac has 4 memory slots and I try to installed one by leave 3 slots empty.
    By the way this is the 2nd ram I purchased from OWC with same spec as the last one (also same as link above) but different in purchase date (about 2 weeks different).
    So now I have 2 GB *2 pcs (come with iMac) and 4GB * 2 pcs from OWC.
    So I'm quit sure that this ram is compatible with my iMac because the first one is work.
    But I have some notice,
    For the 1st RAM I bought from OWC (4GB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMM), when first installation it also didn't work. I can't start iMac. And after 2 weeks, I try to installed it to my iMac again, now it can operate as normal.  What do you think about it?

  • New airport express doesn't work with Nintendo DS

    I just picked up a new Airport Express. The WEP setting doesn't seem to be standard. Instead it is this Transitional Security Network that doesn't work with the Nintendo DS or the Netgear WG511T card I have. Any ideas on how to get it to work?

    yeah, the DS just ***** like that. Nintendo should have given it firmware upgradability.

  • SessionManager doesn't work with new xerceimpl.jar?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know the solution to the problem below?
    The toplink sessionmanager, which loads sessions.xml for database session pooling, doesn't work with new xerce parser(xerceimpl.jar). It is tieing to old xerces.jar parser, which has been upgraded to have more functions.
    Thank you in advance.
    Praveen

    Hi Raanan,
    It works with old xerces.jar. But in-order to get new functions from new xerces jars from apache, I got xml-apis.jar, xercesImp.jar. They got modified from old ones. So this is breaking toplink sessions.xml load to work.
    Did you face this problem?
    Thanks

    Yes that makes sense, however have you updated it at My Apple ID before trying to change it in your system preferences > iCloud settings, you must do that first.

  • IPod Stuff doesn't work with my new iPhone

    I finally sprung for the iPhone three weeks ago and I love it. But I think I'm going to have to buy more new stuff. Neither set of my portable speakers that I use with my iPod (5th gen. video) work with the iPhone. When I put the iPhone in the dock, I get some message about Airplane Mode. Music does play through the speakers, but they won't charge the iPhone. When I put the iPhone on its own charger and tried to use the auxiliary input on the speakers, there was only silence.
    Do I need a special cable or something?
    Also, my car charger for the iPod doesn't work with the iPhone.
    Am I going to have to spring for another set of portable speakers? I've read that the Pure-Fi is compatible with iPhone.
    Thanks!

    Both my mini and my video iPod were USB -- not Firewire.
    Both your Mini and your iPod with video synced via USB and charged via USB when connected to your Mac, but they also support charging via Firewire and most of the older 3rd party devices charged iPods via Firewire - your iPods include firewire pins in the connector for charging via firewire.
    The first generation iPhone also syncs and charges via USB when connected to a computer, and the first generation iPhone also includes firewire pins for charging via firewire also, as your iPods include. The first generation iPhone does not support syncing via Firewire, but it does support charging via Firewire.
    Apple removed the firepins from the iPhone 3G connector as they have done with all new iPods released after a certain date and for all new iPods to be released in the future. 3rd party device manufacturers were made aware of this so all new 3rd party devices must support charging via USB only or include charging via USB in addition to charging via Firewire if a new device is to be backwards compatible with older iPods.

    This aperture plug-in arrived for download just a few days before Leopard arrived. It worked great with Tiger. It doesn't work at all with Leopard. It appears that Leopard comes with a new version of Apache Server and it doesn't work with the Publish for Approval plugin. Does anyone know if and when an update will be released?

  • Dock Plus Series 3, Mic doesn`t work

    As I use Skype a lot, I bought Dock Plus Series 3 to solve the issue with mic jack at Lenovo`s stupid engeneeres "designed" for t420s model. No one profesional pmanufacture produces mic for this kind of jack, and it is always Pain in the Ass to connect external mic to the machine. 
    Dock Plus Series 3 has normal, industry standard mic jack. I hope it will soleve the issue. But it is not! No one mic  doesn`t work if i plug it  Dock Plus Series 3. Please advice, how to make it works!
    PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE !

    Hey Baramburum,
    I could not find any drivers for your docking station, what I can suggest is that you update your audio drives from the link below and you update your BIOS. If you do the update please remove the old drivers first completely and then install the new ones.
