No auto-switch headphones - speak

Any got a clue why the X-Fi software/drivers no longer switch between headphones/2. mode?
I am using a HD-Audio compatible frontpanel with an extreme gamer x-fi. although having all the checkboxes ticked (detect headphones, mute speakers, sync with control panel) it stays at 2. mode when plugging in the headphones.
It used to work but now something seems to interfere with it. It still mutes the 2. speakers but it does not change the profile to 'headphones'.

I've managed to get this working now, without requiring a separate 5Ghz network name - I reset my Time Capsule to defaults and went through the setup wizard again, then turned wifi off the on on my MacBook Air and it now connects at the fastest available speed. Happy Days!

X-fi fatal1ty headphone/speaker switch

Hi.
When I first installed the fatalty, I could plug in my headphones and it would automaticaly switch to headphone mode. Now it doesn't, it stays in 5. speaker mode? I have made no changes that I am aware of and the automaticaly enable headphone mode is checked.. anyone got any ideas?
thanks

Maybe your auto switch option got disabled? If you have the Vol control panel running in your system tray click it then select Audio Consol option. One of the tabs in the next window is for headphone setting of Autoenable headphones and Auto mute speakers. Gi've a look there and see if that got unchecked somehow.

Audio not auto switching when plugging headphones in

I just wanted to see if anyone has encountered this yet. Both my Macbook Pro (2011) and Mac Pro (2011), have recent installs of Yosemite, the MBP a fresh install, the Mac Pro and upgrade. Each have a cinema display (mini display port) plugged in. When I plug my headphones in to the headphone port, the audio does not auto switch to them and continues to play through my Cinema Display. On Mavericks this was not the case, now each time I want to use my headphones I have to manually switch the audio over to them.

I've been having the same issue, I would say it's Thunderbolt display related but I believe I had the issue with my home laptop (no display).
When I plug my headphones in, they're ignored and sound continues to play out of the system or display speakers. I have to go into the Sound preferences and select headphones as the output. Annoyingggg

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar?

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar? Like something just wants me to use that embedded search when u type something not-web-address in address bar and hit enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that it happens repeatedly on like every second, like I just move down from address bar and start typing again, but then again it switches me to address bar, and 3, 4 times like that. And the result is also that I can't see the address of that page.
I think its has something to do with my AVG antivirus, because this started the same time some AVG Nation started to appear in every new tab i open (and thats also irritating me, I read about it here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I dont want to lose all my settings) but when i type something in address bar and hit enter it opens the search results in Google.
Please try to help me, I like Firefox but I must switch to Chrome until I fix this problem.
Thanks in advance

First, please update to Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support nor is it secure. Then let us know if you still have this problem. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

How can I disable auto-switching desktops?

I've long appreciated the spaces/mission control feature of OS X. However, it seems more oriented to organizing desktops by application rather than by project.
Like many users, I suspect, I use different desktops for different projects, each of which requires a variety of applications (finder, word docs, spreadsheets, etc). When I'm working on project 1 in desktop 1, I never want to be whisked away to desktop 2. In fact, I never want to be switched to a different desktop automatically. If I click on an application, I want it to open a new window for that application. If a new iteration of an app can't be opened (ie, Mail), I'd like it to pull Mail to me rather than send me off to it. Aren't apps supposed to come when we call, not the other way around?
I have unchecked "...switch to a space with open windows of that application" in System Prefences, but my desktop continues to auto-switch, especially with Finder.
In short: is there a way disable auto-switching entirely? I'd like to be able to assign windows and navigate manually without being constantly pulled away from the project I'm working on.
Thanks for the help; I really appreciate people spending their time helping others on forums like this one.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Do the latest iMacs (new slim version) still support auto-switching from 220V to 110V?

do the latest iMacs (new slim version) still support auto-switching from 220V to 110V?

Yes. Apple power supplies work with voltages between 110 and 240 v.

Disabling auto switch off Internet Sharing Lumia 7...

Is there anyway to disable the auto switch off of the auto switch off feature of the Internet Sharing on the Lumia 710?
The reason I ask, is that I want to set this up as my main Internet connection at home using the Three UK One Plan Unlimited Data plan with the phone linked via Internet Shaing to a range extender which all my family can then connect to but the Internet Sharing keeps switching off after a few minutes of inactivity.
This is obviously really annoying as I then have to go upstairs and turn on Internet Sharing again.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are two things you can try:
1) Keep the AC cable plugged in. It will not shut down WiFi when connected to AC, as the shutting down is a powermanagement feature as I understood.
2) Keep the screen on (unverified, just a thing you can try to keep the lock timeout to 'forever'. I believe this is related to the powermanagement as well.)

If you enter device manager, right click, and select Scan for hardware changes, is the wireless adapter detected?
You may want to start by installing the latest drivers available from HP for your device. Some notebooks will have a separate driver set for buttons and switches that may re-enable this functionality, or an updated driver for the wireless adapter may include
updates that allow the adapter to be seen following the automatic switch.

HDMI Auto Switch

Hi! I have a HDMI in my laptop, Dell XPS L421X with XFCE. When I connect HDMI to TV I have the video, use ARandR to set the displays, but not sound. I Install pavucontrol (PulseAudio Volume Control) because in SoundMixer have not controls with pulseaudio and not apear the hdmi. With pavcontrol I can select the audio and go to TV.
In pavcontrol I can see in the Configuration Tab, diferent profiles for built-in audio:
Analog Stereo Duplex --Default Analog Stereo Output
Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output + Analog Stereo Input
Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output
Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output + Analog Stereo Input
Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output (unpluged)
Digital Sourround 5.1 (HDMI) Output + Analog Stereo Input
Digital Sourround 5.1 (HDMI) Output
Digital Sourround 5.1 (HDMI) Output + Analog Stereo Input
Digital Sourround 5.1 (HDMI) Output (unpluged)
Analog Stereo Input
Off
The first: Analog Stereo Duplex is the default when the sound exit by the laptop.
To set audio with TV I can select: "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output + Analog Stereo Input" or "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output"
Is possible to auto switch the audio/video when the hdmi is plug-in and plug-out? ARandR & pavcontrol appear have not this control...
Thanks in advance!

Can you enable HDMI video from the command line?
Can you enable HDMI sound from the command line?
I made a script that will toggle HDMI video and sound for the TV. Then, I assigned it to a keyboard command so it's easy to toggle. Let me know if you want to see my script. I have a Radeon HD5450, and I use the open source radeon driver and ALSA.
After you can enable HDMI video and sound from a script, then you can learn how to detect when the cable is plugged in.

HDMI Constantly Auto-Switching

Hi,
I've had one of the newer style BT Youview boxes since around June, just recently when the box is in standby it constantly causes the TV to automatically switch to the HDMI input. It does this every few minutes and gets very annoying!
Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm guessing it's down to a recent software update, i've tried a complete reboot but still the same.
For information, the Youview box is plugged into a Yamaha AV amp via HDMI, the amp is then connected to the TV with HDMI. I don't have any problems with any other source also plugged into the amp (blu-ray player, xbox, etc). If i unplug the HDMI lead for the youview box the problem goes away, so definitely the youview box causing the problem. The AV amp displays an HDMI logo when the selected input is outputting an HDMI signal, when the youview box is in standby this logo is constantly flickering (when the youview box is powered on the HDMI logo is permanently lit). It looks like the youview box is intermitantly (every few seconds) outputting an HDMI signal when in standby, causing the TV to auto-switch to the HDMI input.
Any help huch appreciated.
Thanks,
James

The problem is the software update of 27 October. This has messed up HDMI switching leaving the connection trying to open HDMI all the time whether in stand by or in use mode. This fault may stop you using the other inputs on your TV and may lead to HDMI socket damage. (Engineer statement). I have been phoning useless BT since October and they do not know how to fix it. They know that the problem exists but keep fobbing me off with call backs that rarely happen. Useless

A1330n front panel connections - mic, headphones, speaker

I have a hp1330n desktop computer
I am updating the motherboard to an ASUS p8H61-M LX plus
The front panel connections for start, reset, hd activity, etc. all work fine when plugged into the 10-1 connector on the asus motherboard
I am trying to figure out if / how I can connect the front panel 4 pin connector for the mic, headphone, speaker that use to be plugged into the 1AUX_IN1 connector on the old motherboard that shipped originally with the a1330n.
There is a 4 pin speaker out connection available on the asus motherboard - +5V, GND, GND, Speaker out, but not sure if I can connect the 4 pin wire coming from the front panel - white, blue, green, red wires (with some modifications) into these available 4 pins.
Or do I just forego this functionality after the upgrade and leave the plug dangling in the case?

I found this, I guess it is compatible with the azalia connections: http://forum.thermaltake.com/files/audioconnector_307.jpg
But I have one more question... looking at the end of the card, which pin is pin ? top left?

Working around a dead headphone/speaker connector

The headphone/speaker connector on our PowerMac G4-500 (AGP) seems to have worn out. There's no sound when I insert the plug to the speakers that we've always used, nor when I insert the plug to some headphones. But when there's no plug in the connector, sound comes from the built-in speaker.
The connector has had many insertions and withdrawals this year, while I futzed with a replacement video card that had intermittent problems.
I could pay a shop to replace the connector, but don't want the down-time involved.
Is there either an add-in PCI card, or a USB device, that can be used to replace the built-in headphone connector? A seamless solution would have a 3-contact Sony-type headphone connector.

Sorry, the mic and headphones plugs were swapped.

What usb auto switch is compatible with OSX and Windows for sharing the same printer

I just bought a new iMac for myself to replace my old Dell PC. My husband still has his PC with Windows Vista and our work stations are set up to share the same MFC with a Belkin auto switch. Unfortunately that software is not compatible with my OSX and I am having trouble searching for another auto switch that is compatible with both computer operating systems. Can anyone recommend one to me?

Hmmm, we bought a brand new V300 from Epson and hooked it up it didn't work. We went through all the steps, downloaded all the drivers, and after several days of frustration, it still did not work so we returned it.
Apple hasn't been able to give us technical advice, Epson couldn't help. The only scanners sold locally are the printer/scanner combos.
I was looking at the Fujitso ScanSnap 1500M earlier tonight... am wondering if I can get by with this scanner since most of my scanning nowadays has to do with business documents. It sure would be nice to organize clutter and the text said something about compatible with the "cloud" as well.
I use my iPad all the time to show galleries & collectors the quality of my paintings... type up proposals, etc. Thanks for letting me know about it's compatibility with my iPad, iPhone and Mac.
Thank you for your input, AppleMan1958. you are wonderful.

Question about HP 2311xi - auto-switch source and delay wakeup from sleep

I recently purchased this monitor and noticed that when it wakes from sleep it will take about 5-10 seconds for it to wake whereas other monitors I've owned they have gone on immediately. I was just wondering if this is how this monitor is or if I have an issue with it.
Secondly, how is the auto-switch source suppose to work? I have my PC set to DVI and I have the default source set to my 360 through the HDMI connection. I would assume that when the 360 goes on it would go to the default source and switch over to the hdmi connection. However, my monitor does nothing. What does the auto-switch source actually do or is mine just defective?
Thanks in advance for any help on this monitor.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Auto-switch source only works if there is no signal as it detects the port with a signal and auto switches to that port. However, the monitor has no way of knowing exactly which port the user wants when two signals are present.
Default port setting is what the monitor will look for first when being turned on and doesn't necessarily give that port override capabilities.
Taking 5-10 seconds can be normal. My third-party monitor at home generally takes about 5 seconds before displaying a signal, but this may have more to do with the HDMI connection (I haven't tested this with the VGA port). I don't believe this is a cause for concern.
Let me know if I answered your questions.
