Cant get Audio with AC3 on maverick

Sounds like you need to set up your audio tracks as D-TDM channels. Please consult the manual as to the details on setting up a TDM system in Logic.
I went to the audio menue click on DAE no sound.
It does not work this way. Enabling DAE simply tells Logic to make available the DAE drivers. You still have to set up your playback channels to use this driver, instead of the CoreAudio one.
Somtimes it says hardware in use when there are no other programs are running.
Garage band works fine.
Probably because it only uses one audio driver at a time...
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled logic a few times
This does not, nor will it ever, solve an audio driver issue.
Really, once you understand how to set up an HD system in Logic, you'll be set. It is not easy, but they do provide an extensive explanation in the manual.
I suggest you start with an EMPTY Logic song, and disable the Core Audio, and only use the TDM and D-TDM drivers to set up your environment. It will be a lot easier to set up this way, instead of trying to modify and existing song. Once you "get it" on the empty project, modifiying existing songs will be a lot easier.

Static in audio with vlc-1.1.12-1-x86_64

After upgrading vlc (to vlc-1.1.12-1-x86_64), any video I play has static that sounds like a loose audio cable. Downgrading to vlc-1.1.11-5-x86_64 fixes the problem.
Just to be sure, I updated again (same problem) and downgraded again (no more static).
Anyone else have this issue?

So I see this bug was filed about this.
I found that with vlc on my IgnorePkg list, it was no longer able to play most videos (e.g. h264) when ffmpeg and x264 were updated. So I updated vlc to 1.1.12-3 to see if it was still a problem. Nope, no crackling anymore. So I downgraded to vlc-1.1.12-1, ffmpeg-20111003-1 and x264-20111001-1... still sounds fine.
In short: I can no longer reproduce the problem. Wish I could say what resolved it for me.

No display and no audio with vlc

Hi,
I can't use vlc for quite a bunch of time (6 month?). When playing a video, DVD or Divx, it won't display no video and no sound is played. A 9 minutes long stream would be red in about 4 or 5 seconds.
I already tried: rm -rf ~/.vlc
It won't improve anything.
Someone is having the same issue? I didn't found any bug report.
If maybe you don't have any suggestions about how fixing this, maybe you could suggest an equivalent application?
I'm using smplayer which works fine on divx files but it would not work properly for DVD and I don't want to compress all DVDs!! Smplayer simply does not display all subtitles which is quite annoying!!

Finder can't open video files with VLC?

Hi,
Having recently got OSX Mavericks, trying to open videos from Finder I get an error message saying "The application can't be found" referring to VLC or any other video playing program I try to use. Despite the newest VLC version being re-downloaded and in my Applications folder, this happens with all video formats across all programs. If I go through VLC and open the file from there it plays without a problem. The preview from pressing space isn't working on videos either but does work on doc, pdf, ppt files etc. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

It's a problem with AVI, MKV and MP4 files I've tried to open and VLC can play them all, just not through Finder.
Yeah, so? You didn't seem to grasp what I posted before. It doesn't matter if the file should be able to be played by the Finder. It may say it is an AVI (which I don't think QuickTime plays natively), but that doesn't mean a program that normally can play an AVI can play that one. The video content could have been encoded with the double-monkey franken-codec which you do not have installed on your Mac. You wouldn't be able to play it unless you used a program that had that codec installed with the program.
Perian (not being developed anymore) can help QuickTime play some codecs. Flip4Mac (the free version) can enable QuickTime to play a lot of Windows video/audio.
If you were previously able to play those files in QuickTime, did you have any QuickTime helpers (like Perian) installed? Also, the new Quicktime X doesn't handle a lot of the older stuff which Quicktime 7 may be able to. If you had the Pro version, Quicktime Player 7 should still be in the Applications/Utilities folder.
You keep saying it plays in VLC. Great, tell the Finder to open the files with VLC then. Whatever is set to currently open it doesn't have the codec to decode the content.

Premiere CS6 skips/does not play first second of vob file - while with vlc all fine

Hello everyone!
I am trying to edit vob files (after being ripped on hdd) and Premiere seems to skip the the first second in the media browser, source monitor etc. after import. When opened with vlc-player the vob file is just fine and the first (missing) second (part of a sentence) is there. So I tried to convert the vob file to an avi file with Adobe Media Encoder. Same thing the first second is missing in the avi file. Adobe Bridge - same thing. Same problem with other vob files.
What can I do? Thank you very much for your kind help!
Best, Michael
System: Windows 7 (64) all updated. Master Collection CS6 all updated (Premiere Pro CS6 - 6.0.1 etc.)

Michael,
Is both the Audio and the Video missing from the VOB in PrPro?
Is the Audio DD 5.1 SS in AC3?
Though certainly not YOUR case, if your Audio is DD 5.1, then it is recommended to allow ~ 2.0 sec. of silence at the beginning of the Audio Stream, to allow the equipment to "lock onto" the signal. This most often happens with higher-end DVD/BD players - you are getting similar in PrPro, and not a high-end DVD/BD player.
If you rip the DVD in Audition, or similar, does the entire Audio Stream show up, like it does in VLC player?
One last question, regards your internal HDD, from which you are editing. Is it at least 7,200 RPM, or is it a 5,400 RPM drive?
Good luck, and as should be obvious, I am just thinking out loud here.

X-Fi DD-DTS doesn't seem to work right playing DVD Movies with VLC Player or anything els

I have an X-Fi Platinum with the bay and When I try to Play a DVD with VLC Player And choose a/52 over s/pdif it sounds HORRID skipping and pausing and not functioning at all.. I must choose 5. channel to have Listenable Audio. The Same goes for AC3 Encoded Files If I chose A/52 over S/PDIF in VLC player it sounds like **bleep** and doesn't seem to decode it right. I must chose stereo 2 channel to listen to AC3 encoded video's.. NOTE The dolby Digital symbol DOES appear when i chose A/52 over S/PDIF so it does know it's a digital signal.. And I have the software set to USE hardware decoder and S/PDIF in Decode selected. NOW Here's something that REALLY makes me wonder wtf is wrong, I can connect my Home DVD Player or Cable Box over the Optical?in OR the S/PDIF in and the SOB works Fine, The Dolby Digital symbol comes up and everything sounds great! I get Dolby Digital surround no problem..Why in the heck does it not want to play DVD's using the A/52 over S/PDIF or any AC3 Encoded Files?What's the deal?And I am using windows XP Pro SP2 yadda yadda yadda?Message Edited by mbrown0420 on 07-25-20070:58 PM

Preview in Finder windows does not work with VLC Player

i am using vlc player, and whenever i access a folder where i have many avi folders that vlc player is set as the default program to open them, the finder windows freezes and i have to relaunch it. also, when i click on get info for a particular avi folder, finder crashes again because it cannot preview the file in the window. does anyone know how i can resolve this issue?
thanks!

ok, it works fine with quicktime, but anyone know why vlc player might be doing this?
thanks!
I use VLC and there are some bugs with the latest version. Try an earlier version. WIth VLC, I keep the older versions for things like this.
For instance, the new VLC give the wrong time on a stereo audio file. In fact it gives double the correct time. I have had some other issues with VLC, but it's easy enough to remove and install.
If you make QT the default and then right-click the video and select VLC to play it, does that work?

How to import .mov files that wont play in QT (but play with vlc player)

I have a batch of .mov files of which QT only plays the audio (video is blank) - same thing when I try to open in Final Cut Express HD. I am able to open these with VLC player. How do I convert these files so that I can edit them in FCE? I am suspecting maybe these are HD files and the problem is related to that.

cthoxie wrote:
.. interesting to learn a drawback of FCE to FCP, one not mentioned to me by the Apple sales associate ..
perhaps, it was 'too self-evident' for the sales-person, that FCE is meant for camcorder-imports with a few consumer formats only, DV (as from miniDV), HDV, AVCHD (=last two get converted automatically to AIC) - done.
.. in my main area, iMovie, we permanently read, how people are surprised, that those editors are made _by concept_ as camcorder-editors, not 'file-editors' .. Apple/mov='editable by Apple/FCE' is a fallacy ..

No audio with imported AVCHD Clips in PE 11

I have Premiere Elements v11.0 running on a Windows 8 machine. I have updated PE and no more updates are available.
The AVCHD video I am importing is full HD, PAL at 25 fps. The audio is 384kbps 6 channels with audio sample rate of 48kHz. I can import and edit these clips into Premiere Elements V7.0 running on a Windows 7 PC without any problems. The project settings used are HDV 720.
With Elements V11.0, the audio is not being imported which ever project settings I try. There are no error messages.
I have the latest version of Quick Time (7.7.4) installed, although QuickTime doesn’t understand the file. Windows Media Player plays it OK – video and audio. VLC media player also plays it OK.
Is this a missing codec, a bug or some other problem?
Suggestions please?

Robsodav
In spite of the questions to follow, I did see that you wrote
With Elements V11.0, the audio is not being imported which ever project settings I try. There are no error messages.
And, no problems with audio in Premiere Elements 7 Windows 7 64 bit.
Just want to go over your details so as not to take anything for granted.
What are the properties of your source media? What is the file extension? You say AVCHD Full HD, PAL at 25 fps. and you add the project settings used are HDV 720. Why?
The project preset is supposed to match the properties of your source media. From what you wrote, my read on that is that you have
AVCHD video compression 1920 x 1080 16:9 @ 25 (probably interlaced) frames per second.
If so, the project preset should be PAL AVCHD Full HD 1080i25 5.1 channel.
If that is 1920 x 1080 16:9 @ 25 progressive frames per second
then the project preset should be PAL DSLR 1080p DLSR 1080p25.
So, what is the rationale behind setting the project preset for what you describe at HDV 720 which I am taking to be 1280 x 720 @ 25 progressive frames per second?
What is your audio compression.... Dolby Digital 5.1 channel or AAC 5.1 channel or other?
What brand model camera is this video with its audio coming from?
How are you getting the video audio from camera to Premiere Elements11 Timeline?
Is it only the footage from this particular camera that is at issue?
Let us start here and see where your reply leads us.
Thank you.

Audio clicks/pops since Mavericks upgrade

Ever since the upgrade to OSX 10.9, I've been experiencing frequent clicks/pops in MainStage 3's output with the same buffer/processor core settings as before. What's strange is that the CPU doesn't seem to be spiking at all, and there isn't anything else taxing the computer. Higher buffer settings help a little bit, but even at a level of 256 samples I'm still getting more degraded output as compared to Mountain Lion. It doesn't seem to be plugin-specific... the problem is present in Apple's AU's as well as third-party plugins like Kontakt and Ivory II. Using standalone instruments outside of MainStage doesn't produce the same clicks/pops, even at lower buffer settings. I'm not using an external sound card/interface.
Things I've tried:
-Different buffer settings, as mentioned above - using MainStage 3 before the upgrade at 64 samples (with safety buffer) was great
-Removed MainStage as well as the associated preference files and reinstalled
-Created new concerts/patches rather than using preexisting ones
Any suggestions? My last resort would be trying a clean install of Mavericks or reverting to Mountain Lion, but I don't really have a strong desire to do either of those... Thanks in advance for your help!
HW: 2012 MBP Retina at 2.6 GHz
SW : OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks, MainStage 3.0.2 using Kontakt 5, XLN Addictive Keys, Ivory II

I just upgraded to Maverick 10.9.2 recently . I tested the latest version of Mainstage after reading this post to see if I might encounter the same problem .
After spending 30 minutes with Mainstage , there's hasen't been any clicks or pops whatsoever .
The buffer size is 128 samples .
I also am using ONLY Logic soft synths . No 3rd party in my concerts . ( for now anyways )
Just wondering if the problems that you have been running into might be caused by the use of 3rd party plugs .
I am using a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 as class compliant USB 2 audio interface with buitl in midi .
I had to update the firmware of the audio card because of Maverick to avoid audio dropouts . That also solved a potential problem .

Final Cut Express won't capture audio with the video anymore, why?

I have used Final Cut Express 4 for over a year now with no problems, but recently I am unable to capture any audio with the video from my camera. I can do it through iMovie no problem. I can't figure out if I changed a setting by accident because everything looks normal to me. Could another program be interfering with this? Quicktime Pro? I have no idea how to fix this.

First of all, we need a bunch of information in order to help. Please provide the specs of the footage and the sequence you are using. Also, are you using DV, HDV, or AVCHD? Do you hear audio when the clip is played in the viewer, or is there no audio at all once the clip is captured/ingested?

Unable to record internal audio with RecordMyDesktop

In order to record sound and video from my desktop, I installed RecordMyDesktop (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RecordMyDesktop) and followed the instructions from post #4 and #6 on a thread about "Recording internal audio with alsa and recordmydesktop" (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1359593). When I try to record with "recordmydesktop --device looprec", it will not start recording and closes with the following error:

I can record from the microphone with with the command "recordmydesktop". I succeeded in recording the internal audio with audacity by choosing the device "looprec" for recordings.

I am not knowledgeable, but I guess there is a mistake in it? Would you please assist me solving this error? Thank you for your time.

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful. Mid 2013 iMac.

I don't know how rare this is. I went a week or so without a problem, and now it's starting to recur. Also, in some instances, an email will look unsent (remain in the outbox on the Treo), but it has been sent, and recipients are replying while I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Further, it will send the same email over and over during this madness.
This is a show stopper. If there isn't a software fix soon, I may chuck this phone in the garbage.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)
UPDATE: The problem comes and goes. The next day, no changes to the treo, everything workeds. Now i'm suspecting the sprint server, and how it/the phone responds from failing to send while roaming. I've since turned off roaming, and haven't had a problem for several days.
