i installed the latest ac97 drivers from msi but nothing helped.

Hi,
Can you describe what did you do "before" and "after" the problem occured? Sounded like
before - no Yamaha speakers, no Win2k reinstallation
after - Win2k reinstallation, with Yamaha speakers
Or before and after (win2k installation) you have tested your Yamaha speakers and it worked?
What if you use analog output, does it sound?
If analog sound, then probably you have to check the AC'97 and Volume settings, such as to enable Digital-output etc.

No Sound through Digital/Optical Out

I have connected my Macbook to my AV receiver/amp via a mini Toslink to standar Toslink cable. The Mac recognizes that it is attached to a digital output under the DVD Preferences but there is no sound through my receiver. My amp is set to receive the Optical signal and my DVD player works fine through the same input, so I know the amp connection works.
I have connected the Macbook to my 1080i TV and wanted to watch movies with digital sound.
I have done multiple searches on this website as well as searched using Google, with no fix.
I have already ensured the settings in the DVD Player are set to send the Digital signal, I have re-started the computer and still nothing.
Please Help.

I'm having the same problem. I've connected my macbook via mini toslink to standard to listen to music on my sound system. It worked fine for atleast 6 months but today it started making static and poping noises when the music was playing through the speakers. My roommate tried his 13" MacBook and the speakers work fine on his computer. After a little bit, the digital out just stopped delivering sound although it recognizes that the optical cable is plugged in (checked through preferences-->sound) But now no audio signal is sent out. The receiver on the speakers doesn't recognize any data being sent.
Anybody know how to fix this?

Apple tv 2 and 1 not playing sound through optical out.

Hello all, just bought a new atv2. Thought I'd stress the difficulty i had in getting it to stream from the main Mac in the house. What a pain. Silly home sharing, why it couldn't be as simple as atv1!
Anyway it's working now. My issue is this; I want to use the atv2 as a music streaming device and not attach it to a screen. I will control it from my iPhone remote.
After connecting it to 2 hifis with optics I can't get sound to come out. In fact none of the 3 atvs seem to work by simply connecting directly to the optical out. Sure they are all fine when connected by hdmi. But I don't always want the tvs left on.
Also, I'm having difficulty in getting the atvs to act as remote speakers systems when i operate the main music library. I guess this will all be resolved when i work out how to get the optics to work!
Thanks in advance.

Apple TV may or may not work without a screen. Some devices will not function unless they "sense" a display. This is particularly likely to be the case with a HDMI device, which uses a communication protocol that requires handshaking with the display.
The most common reason why optical inputs might not work with a receiver is that the receiver is not configured to take the sound off the optical port. Most modern receivers can accept sound from multiple ports, and optical is often not the default. Note that you can tell whether the AppleTV is generating a signal by unplugging the optical cable from your receiver and looking for the red light. at the tip of the cable.

TV/ SKY Digital Sound Through MY X-FI Elite Pro and Gigaworks s

Hi i am trying to find out if i can get sound from my tv/sky digibox to pass through my gigaworks s750's.
I have just got hold of a new Sony Widescreen TV and a sky digibox both seem to to have audio out right and left on the back of them. On the computer side of things i have a X-FI Elite Pro and the Gigaworks S750's.
Im not sure about all of this so was hoping somebody in here could help.
Any Help on what i need to do or buy would be great

Hey man, thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I started messing around with the Phono 2 dials on the unit and was having no luck what so ever. I then wanted to try my microphone to make sure that it was still working from all the changes I had made. Well, when I hit the record button and talked into my mic it showed something being recorded, so I knew my mic was still working... But.... when I played the recording, It was the recording from the T.V.!!! At this point I knew I was close to getting this issue solved.

I ended up having to open my "Sounds & Audio" controller within the Windows XP Control Panel and then going to the volume section of the XF-I card and then going to file, properties, and then check the "Phono 2" port off so that I could see it listed with all of my other volume and sounds controls. I then un-muted it as you said and Bam!!!!!!! Guitar Hero on my PS2 was pumping out at my full 500W!!!! I nearly went death from the experience, but it was very gratifying!!!

Thanks for your post. It really helped to point me in the right direction. I'm now thinking of digitizing all my vinal records now into MP3's too! Thanks again man, you?re the bomb!

5.1 Sound Through Audio Out

Hi,
I'm looking to get a 5.1 speaker system for my iMac to play dvd's, quicktime movies etc through. What i would like to know is will a speaker system be able to process into 5.1 sound going through a jack connection?
Could you help me and tell me if that connection would work, if there are any special type of cable i will need etc.
Haven't decided on a set of speakers yet, but im looking to spend around £100 ($200) and are there any which would be specifically suited for my predicament? If they could hold there own with some metal blazing out that would be a bonus too!!
Thanks for your time!

What you may be looking for is something like the Griffin FireWave. It will connect to your iMac via FireWire, and it has the standard set of 3 dual channel output jacks (FR, FL; SW, C; and RS, LS) to interface with 5.1 channel speaker setups.
I have one these connected to my iMac, and hooked to a Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 setup; It is excellent. There is an additional firewire jack on the FireWave, to replace the one it uses.
You can read more about it here: [http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/firewave]
There is even a software control panel, allowing you to play true Dolby Digital from the appropriate source, as well as ProLogic surround from two channel sources; sounds great with iTunes stuff.

Digital Sound Dolby Digital .. I miss Soundstorm :( (Neo4 Platinum)

Ok Im having EXTREME problems, Im so so so dissapointed in this motherboards sound (MSI Neo4 Platinum) When I saw that it had 7.1 I was sure it was dolby digital compatible, but its just this junky crap analog setup.... Now Ive been looking into sound cards, and I have no clue what to do..
From what I've read my old board (Nforce2 Ultra) was the only SOUnd chip, ONBOARD or SOUND CARD to have DOLBY DIGITAL ENCODING .. encoding = sends dolby digital 5.1 to my Home Theater setup.
I have a 7.1 Harmon Kardon, and with my nforce 2 ultra, the coaxial digital output to my surroudn receiver came in as dolby digital, and the sound was incredibly, now Ive got this crap hissing analog sound on a NFORCE 4 Ultra... I really hate Nvidia for their decision on dropping soundstorm, And now Im trying to to hookup my computer to my receiver to get digital and digital 5.1 ( I dont absolutely need 7.1 for my computer) .
Does anyone know of any sound cards that have DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1/ EX, DTS, ENCODING.. not decoding, all of them do decoding, but encoding .. from what Ive read.. is needed to output true 5.1 to my home receiver.

Quote from: master0068 on 11-February-05, 09:47:05
One thing that just blows my mind... is Why the **** did the dumb a$$es include Optical and Coaxial outputs on these boards.... (MSI NEO4 Platinum) and many other Nforce 4 ultra boards.....
I mean.. if they arent even dolby digital , and they dont even have ENCODERS, than why would you use digital ouputs???
Becuase PC's "evolve" and end up with "items" which where required once, but then become the PC equivelent of the human "appendix".
Your taking for granted that even dolby DECODERS have always been around. They wern't, and at first the only way to get surround from DVD' was to use the SPDIF to an external decoder.

After 10.9.3 upgrade no sound on digital/optical port

Hello All,
I have a problem with my Mini (Early 2009, 2GHz Core2Duo). After recent Mavericks upgrade to 10.9.3, sound through digital optical output port dissapeared.
1. I checked receiver's input, works with other devices on the same cable.
2. Cable output light is red (as always, seem Mac Mini transmitter works???)
3. Mavericks says that optical wire is connected to the port, in sound preferences there is digital/optical output available.
4. Speaker icon on Top Bar is greyed out and volume slider unavailable to adjust.
5. PRAM/NVRAM reset didn't help.
6. Receiver doesn't recognise signal because input led says Analog, normally Digital should be there.
Maybe this is a bug?
Please help.
Regards,
Kamil

Hey Guys,
After recent SMC+EFI update on Macbook Air (Mid 2013) OSX v10.9.3, my internal audio device disappeared,
I tried everything I could find in google with no luck. (NPRAM+SMC reset, reloading kents etc.)
THIS IS WHAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR ME:
1. I opened /System/Library/Extensions folder, there I found besides the usual AppleHDA.kext, also an AppleHDA.kext.disabled one.
2. I switched between them (swapped their names, sometimes you'll have to do it from the "get info" menu to take effect)
-- if you don't have this AppleHDA.kext.disabled one, try searching for one lil older than yours in the internet
3. then I unloaded and reloaded the kent dir again-
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
And voila!
Hope it helps someone, as I spent hours until getting this to work again

I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used a digital speaker

I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used an external digital speaker. Cannot seem to switch back to lap top speakers in my SYSTEM PREFERENCES...only showing DIGITAL out put option

Hi there Lutostan,
It sounds like you have disconnected the digital audio speakers from your MacBook Pro but all you have available in your audio settings. Take a look at this info from the following article named:
Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
If the Internal Speakers option does not appear in the Output tab and your computer is not a Mac Pro, check that Digital Out is present as in the image below:
Confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
If you do not see a red light, proceed to step 5.
If the issues persist, contact Apple support for further troubleshooting assistance.

Analog to digital: sound is only in left speaker, but I want it in both

I converted an old VHS tape to digital with my digital camcorder and imported it to iMovie. However, the VCR only had one audio output, not two for Right and Left. I tapped into the left (as I could only do one or the other).
Now, all my sound only comes through the left channel. I know the video will not be stereo, but is there a way I can get sound through the left and right channels?

Hmmm, I'm afraid this may be a lost cause. Is there really no way to simply make the movie mono instead of stereo with iMovie? The suggestion of using QuickTime didn't work for me, as I described above, but I found a way to accomplish the same result wih iTunes. The problem is, first off, this seems really hokey to have to go through so many steps, in different programs, just to make the sound mono. Secondly, when I import the (now mono) audio back into iMovie, it will be very difficult to make it sync up perfectly with the video. Multiply this task with about twenty or more clips, and it will be very time consuming, and likely to have audio that does not match perfectly with the video (which is simply not acceptable). Is that really the best (only) way to get the sound to come out of both speakers?

No CD Digital sound in Audigy 2 ZX + X

Hi, I have a problem getting the cd digital sound to work with the audigy 2 ZX on XP64 (latest drivers, installed twice). From the mixer, if I turn off wav and turn on cd digital there is no sound when playing a cd. I have spdif pass through disabled.
The CD player is working, I hooked up a scope to the 2 wires and there is a signal when music exists and none when paused.
Is this an issue with the drivers on XP64 or is there a defect somewhere else?
Thanks for your help

tomb8,
Ahhh, you also have to go into the device manager and disable the "Digital CD Playback" under the properties of the CD/DVD dri've before it will output to the analog / digital connections on the back of the dri've.
All audio from DVD's is done as data. It would never touch that cable regardless. The cable is only used for CD Audio playback when digital extraction is disabled on the dri've.
DVD's have the audio compressed into the MPEG2 format and your DVD playing software handles the audio through to the soundcard. DD decoding is handled by either the DVD playing software or by the soundcard and only the final output is converted to analog (or the DD signal is sent straight to s/pdif out if so configured)

Titanium Fatal1ty digital sound encoder issues

So, I've had this Titanium Fatal1ty pro soundcard for a few years and it has always given me trouble. Simply, a few years back when I initially installed it, I had fought with achieving full DTS or Dolby digital mode, or anything greater (in signal quality) than PCM (analog mode). I eventually figured it out a few years back after repeated uninstalls, different driver versions. Problem is, I recently reinstalled my OS and now I can't get my sound card fully functioning.
So I can't get the DTS or Dolby digital indicators to light up on my reciever. I've sought the help creative offers by adjusting my sampling rate lower. Nothing. I've verified my on-board sound was disabled thru bios. I simply cannot get any digital sound flowing through my optical port. Weirdest of all, in Console launcher or creative Control panel if I cleck on the tab marked "encoder" I get the BSOD. Never fails; everytime.
I'm wondering if my encoder on the actual sound card is going bad. Then again, I've gotten BSOD screens lately even doing things unrelated to sound, especially while using Google Chrome. I'm wondering if my RAM going bad would affect the performance of my sound card.
Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi Aboisis,
You will need to contact support to enquire about that.

Access to digital sound

Recently purchased dx735 all in one. I noticed that where the audio out jack is to be on the back is actually for the ir blaster remote. I have connected the system to boston surround sound speakers capable of producing both analog and digital sound. I can get analog sound through the headphone output but no digital. Digital also does not show up as an option in the realtek app. Getting no sound through side speakers as they are also not an option in realtek. The boston speakers did produce digital and surround sound using my old desktop. Any suggestions?

Hi
Have you tried reinstalling the drivers or checking online for updated drivers? Check the sound properties to ensure you have not checked against anything?
