No Audio when using firewire DV

Hello!
When I set SoundTrack to play the video using my firewire DV device (a little camcorder attached to an analog TV set) it reroutes all audio to that camcorder instead of using my otherwise fully functional 5.1 audio setup.
How can I keep the audio playing through my external (USB) 5.1 audio setup while routing the video to an external firewire MiniDV camcorder?

I've had a similar problem and posted a few questions myself regarding the "no audio" when going from FCP to STP.
But I figured it out: If you connect a DV cam via Firewire, the audio in STP is routed to the camera only.
In my case I also have a MOTU 828MKII audio interface connected via a separate FireWire, but it seems that in STP only the DV cam get the audio.
As soon as I disconnect the DV cam, the Audio can be routed to my audio interface as per my Audio/Midi setup.
In FCP I don't have this problem.
So now, when using STP, I disconnect the DV Cam and get my Video via an RGB connection to the TV and the audio can be routed as I want.
Not really elegant (and not really Apple-like not to have full Audio/Midi setup compatibility) but then again, when working in STP, it's the sound that matters and not the picture.

MacBook with 10.6.2 drops audio when using firewire audio interface

Hi there!
I've got a problem that's getting a pretty big issue right now.
It started when I first plugged in my newly bought Alesis Multimix 8 FireWire, at the moment running 10.5. After a while, the audio suddenly was gone, there was nothing. Unplugging and replugging the interface solved the problem, but it happened again, and again and again. I could also change the sample rate and the audio would come back. I hoped it was an issue with Leopard, so upgraded to Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there.
At the moment I'm in the band for a musical, and it requiers a lot of different sounds, and I'm happy I found MainStage in the same box as Logic! Though with this audio dropout problem, it can't be a success. I borrowed a TC Electronic 24D from a friend hoping all troubles would be gone, but no, it's still there.
Now, I can't figure out where the problem exist. Is the two different sound cards both failing? Is the MacBook hardware failing? Is OS X failing?
I tried with different FW cables, but it didn't help. Could there be some bad stuff left from Leopard when I upgraded, I didn't do a clean install?

I have a hard time believing it could be just OS X that's messing with us. If the problem came already in 10.5.3, following my logic, the bug should be gone by now.
As you said, the easy fix is to use the built in headphone port, but in my case it doesn't work that good since there's some whining noise making itself clear when you amplify the signal.
I've read somewhere that people have had success not plugging the interface directly to the Mac, but through a firewire hub of some kind, like an external harddrive. I will try that tomorrow.

No Audio When using Video Out to Firewire

I do not get any audio when I use Firewire ntsc as my video out. When I set video out to canvas playback then I get audio. I want to use print to video but I cannot because the audio will not work with Firewire. I get the image on my external monitor but not the audio. I checked to make sure and the audio was not on the recorded dvd. I cannot not use print to video with canvas playback.
My Easy Setup is Format: NTSC, Use DV NTSC DV Converter. I tried using Firewire basic and got the same results.
Please Help
Ken

The audio does not play at all from the timeline if video out is set to Firewire. To answer your question, no the audio does not play in the external monitor when playing back from the timeline when Canvas is used as the video out. However, I don't believe the converter box is the problem. The audio would play in the internal speakers when using firewire as video out but it does not.

HT201177 no audio when using a mini display port to HDMI cable to TV on my Macbook pro

no audio when using a mini display port to HDMI cable to TV on my Macbook pro. can only see the video

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.

How can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

how can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

First, go to iMovie/Preferences and enable the Advanced Tools.
Import the video clip into an iMovie Event. When you get ready to use it in an iMovie Project, select the clip in the Event and drag & drop it on top of a video or photo clip in the project at the place where you want it to begin. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Audio Only.

How do you turn off Flash audio when using captivate Nav bar?

Hi Guys and Girls
I have an imported flash file that plays an audio track,
I have no problem turning the audio off, when the user uses
the button within the flash file to go to the next slide in the
captivate movie...
on(release){
stopAllSounds();
_root.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;
BUT if the user decides to use the navigation bar within the
captivate movie it all goes pair shape.. The flash audio continues
to play into the next slide. Anyone have a know how to solve this
problem?
How do you tell flash to stop playing the audio when using
the captivate navigation bar?
(The flash file is a flip book and the audio NEEDS to stay
within the flash file)
Cheers
Aquil0

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This totally solved my issue. I had a Captivate 4 movie using an embeded animation that had audio. It would play the audio again when the next slide appeared. I have to use Captivate 4, because my audience still uses Flash 7 (yikes). However, if you have Captivate 5 and are having this problem there is a widget that solves this issue: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/11/animations-%E2%80%93-audio-sync-issue.html#commen t-3872

I have no audio when using chrome

I have no audio when using chrome. I have audio when using Internet explorer and when playing from my pc. I have tried uninstalling chrome and flash player then reinstalling them. have tried FAQ on chromes site and Adobe's site. did not work.

Hi Funkd,
The video / audio team is still hard at work trying to fix the audio problems introduced in 11.3. Would you be willing to test a build of Flash Player that contains a few changes and additional debug logging functionality? If so, please contact me directly at [email protected]
Thanks,

No audio when using FaceTime on iPhone.

No audio when using FaceTime on iPhone. The video works, but just static is heard during call. I have attempted multiple calls to another iphone and my mac. Should I send the phone in for repair?

Hi Anne-Lill Holme,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are not being heard during FaceTime calls on your iPhone 6, I recommend starting with these troubleshooting tips:
Restart your device.
If using FaceTime over a Wi-Fi network, go to the steps to resolve Wi-Fi network issues.
From:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime
Next, I recommend testing your iPhone 6 microphone in other applications, such as Voice Memos.
If you cannot be heard on recordings in other apps, see this article for additional troubleshooting help:
If your voice is too faint or sounds unclear using iPhone, or iPod touch

How to sync/edit audio when using frame freeze or time remapping?

how to sync/edit audio when using frame freeze or time remapping? in premiere pro cs6

You need to give more information about what you want to happen to the audio when you freeze or time remap the associated video.
Is it synch video?
Is it music?
Is it Voice?
Generally .. you have to cut and design the audio around the video effect.

M-Audio not connectin when using firewire 800 drive

Computers that have both a FireWire 400 and a FireWire 800 port may be sharing the same FireWire bus internally. When using both, the 400 and the 800 port at the same time, you may experience problems like audio drop outs or loss of connection to the M-Audio FireWire interface. There's a variety of possible reason for this including but not limited to bandwidth limitations, clocking issues (400/800) and bus master problems with the devices connected to both ports. M-Audio recommends using the M-Audio FireWire audio interface on the computers original FireWire port while adding a separate FireWire interface card to the system (PCI or PCMCIA). Connect any third party FireWire 800 devices to the added FireWire interface card.
But will this really fix the problem?
M-audio says yes & apple says maybe.
Sound like a serious flaw with apples firewire bus.

Damian,
Following are my experiences. My setup is listed down below.
-Yes, that will fix the problem. The bottom line is, M-audio FW box doesn´t like to share disk drives on the G5 firewire bus (both 400 aand 800). So yes, 400 and 800 FW ports are somehow connected internally, sharing the same resources.
-I had a spare FW 400 PCI card lying around, and I attached my disk drives to that. Didn´t start to look around for a FW 800 card though.
-And although it seems like a fault on Apple´s side too, I can´t speak very highly on the FW410 box either. Every time I do an update on my system, the 410 install gets messed up (won´t show devices in AudioMidiSetup, the only cure is to uninstall and re-install).
And the other interesting thing is that every time my Mac boots up, the 410 control panel mixer page is all messed up with funny pan positions and fader values. A reset does the job, but this has to be done every time I boot up. Maybe this is working in Tiger.
I tried solving this with the M-Audio support, and after describing my problem, they just said I should call their tech support. Being on the other side of the world, I shurely don´t wanna max out my phone bill.
Haven´t upgraded to Tiger yet, don´t want to keep upgrading all the time. In general the system is working nicely.

Has anyone experienced the loss of audio when using Apple TV when it has been working fine?

I can't get any audio through my reciever when using Apple TV. It's been working fine until a week ago. I've check my reciever, unplug the TV, and Apple TV as described but nothing. I switch to my Direct TV input and I can get audio when not using ATV. I've tried most everything I've read on blogs but nothing. One of those "pull your hair out" issues. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks, Vince

Hi there Vfall!
I have some information for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
If you can see video but can't hear sound
If Apple TV is connected to a receiver, make sure the receiver is turned on.
Make sure the input setting you've selected on your receiver matches the input you have your audio cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your receiver for more information.
Make sure the volume on your TV or receiver is turned up and isn't muted.
Check whether you can hear sound while playing video only. Also, check whether you can hear audio feedback while clicking through menu options.
If you're connected to the HDMI port on your TV and Apple TV, make sure your TV supports audio through its HDMI port. The HDMI ports on some older TVs support only video.
If you are using HDMI audio, try disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI cable.
If you're connected to the HDMI port on your TV and Apple TV, make sure your TV is setup to receive audio from HDMI. For some TV's this is automatic, but for others there is a choice between digital and analog (for HDMI audio, choose digital). Read more about HDMI audio.
Try the other audio outputs on Apple TV to see if they work.
If possible, try using different audio cables.

Buzz In Audio When Using DVI Output

I've had this problem for a while now, but everytime I plug in a monitor to the DVI port I get a horrible buzz out of my audio interface. I've tried everything: using different DVI cables and audio cables, using different audio interfaces, disconnecting everything except the necessary things, etc. and no matter what, the buzz comes when I plug something into the DVI port. I'm assuming that this has to do with the video card, I'm just wondering if anyone else has had problems like this.

Are the TV and the Mac plugged into different wall outlets in the room? It could be they are on widely different circuits, considering the wiring behind the wall, and that stray currents are flowing through the signal cables and upsetting the signals carried on those cables.
If the above is true, try plugging the TV into the same outlet as the Mac and see if things improve.

OSX 10.7.5 Finder unresponsive when using firewire 800 devices

My system was running well until recently when my finder in OSX 10.7.5 has beccome intermittently unresponsive. Many apps, especially Mail are not very responsive either.
I have multiple external hard drives (both 400 and 800) hooked into a Nitro AV firewire 800 hub repeater. When I pull the firewire 800 cable from the port on my Intel iMac, the system and finder seem to work properly. When using a single device plugged into the iMac's FW 800 port, the system and finder also appear to run fine.
Other symptoms include drive icons not ejecting and freezing on the desktop, system crashing often, very slow startup, apps running slowly at times and becoming unresponsive during use, slow opening of folders and slow launching of apps.
If anyone has had similar problems or has any experience with these issues, I would be grateful for your help.
Thanks!!

I read another thread about the same problem and it is checked under Finder>Preferences. All boxes except Macbook Pro are checked.
