No headphone audio output after Airplay

I'm facing problems after having streamed audio from a Safari website via Airplay to my Apple TV (set to Airplay audio output under system preferences). When I'm now connecting my headphones to my iMac, OS X automatically switches to Airplay output. Every intend to switch back manually under system preferences or the Audio/Midi control panel fails. Somebody know a terminal command to restore the default settings? "sudo coreaudiod" is not working, already tried that.
Thank you for any advice.

Hello again,
it helped temporally to switch off home sharing, but when turned on again, the problem re-appears.

Reboot, see if this helps.

No Audio Output after Upgrading to windows 7; Soundblaster Card is installed

After upgrading to Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit), I found that my speakers (which are built into my HP w2207 monitor) are not recognized. In the notification area I have the speaker with a red x in it, and it says “No Audio Output Device is installed”.
I have a HP Pavilion D4890Y with the Sound Blaster Audigy X-FI 24-Bit Xtreme sound card. I tried looking in Device Manager, and found “Multimedia Audio Controller” under Other, which states no drivers could be found.
I tried following some of the advice online, and downloaded the latest Realtek High Definition Audio drivers, but and the download seems to run successfully, but I don’t notice any differences. When I reboot as prompted, I’ve still got the same error.
I then tried forcing the Audio Device to use a Realtek driver, but Windows protests (saying it’s not sure it’s compatable with my device, and I end up with “Realtek High Definition Audio” under “Sound, video and game controllers”, but it has a yellow exclamation point. If I click properties, the device status says “This device cannot start (Code 10).” If I try to update the driver I get the message that it cannot find the driver software.   If I uninstall the driver I’m back to the original problem (multimedia audio controller under original devices, with no known drivers).
I also tried downloading various files from the Creative site, but it’s not clear which one to use, and the 4 or 5 different ones I tried (including their recommended beta version for Windows 7), when each of them opens it says it can’t find any supported devices.
Suggestions? Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi,
"If the driver is a previous revision install it using the TROUBLESHOOT COMPATIBILITY tool that is part of the Windows 7 OS.
To use the tool, uninstall any drivers for the sound card you show listed in Control Panel/Programs/Uninstall Programs  list.  Delete the Device from Device Manager.
Download the revision of the driver from www.creative.com  website to a folder you've created and placed on your desktop.
After the driver is downloaded, navigate to the "setup.exe" of the driver and Right Click - select Troubleshoot Compatibility  ----
Let the compatibility tool select a possible solution then use its suggestion of TRY RECOMMENDED WINDOWS SETTINGS, if it does not find a solution it will submit only CUSTOMIZE SETTINGS and let you install it as you designate."
The preceding information comes from a Microsoft Windows 7 forum regarding an issue similar to yours.
the information you provided did verify that it is a sound blaster XiFi Extreme card as checked against the Vendor / Device list.
regards,
erico

This thing has been going on for quite sometime now for many people but apparently no forum has posted a solution. Would appreciate any help.

Classic mode should make the headphones option disappear as it autoswitches on attach.
Try a bootable Linux live environment; if it doesn't work there, you might have a damaged headphone jack.

No HDMI audio output after recent HP update.

Hi, I recently was prompted for an HP sound driver update. After installation, the update seemed to break the audio output from my computer to my television. Before the update, the sounds from the computer would come from the television speakers, but now it defaults back to the laptop speakers. Since the update, there is no longer an option for HDMI audio playback in the sound options of the control panel. Can someone help?
Here is a screenshot of my control panel. As you can see, there is no option for HDMI audio output, even though my HDMI cable is currently plugged in.

Does Garageband for iPad support audio output over Airplay?

Since I don't currently have an Airplay output device on my network, I can't tell if Garageband supports this. Anyone know?
Thanks.

When the iPad or iTunes is sending music/video to an AirPlay Output device, it is actually sending the music/video file over to that device to play rather then just sending 2 channels of audio.
For this reason, GarageBand would be a difficult task asnit would need to send up to 10 files (8 tracks and 2 effects) over the network to play in perfect sync.
For this reason, garageBand would not be stable and you would have a large amount of drag.

Bluetooth Headphones Audio Delayed after Updating to Yosemite

Ever since I upgraded to OS X Yosemite my Bluetooth headphones have started having pretty drastic delays on my iMac. When I first start up the computer it seems normal, but after a half an hour or so, I have more than a 2 second delay.
I googled it and found that lots of people have this problem, but I haven't found any fixes. Is there anything I can do??

I Just got an update on my bug report from Apple yesterday. They think they've fixed the bug in the next release 10.10.8.2.
Hopefully this does the trick and it's just a matter of time Before we all get the update.
I Havent been able to confirm the fix, but it's something!

Adobe Presenter can not use audio output after 10.8 upgrade

Hi,
I just upgraded from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to MTL (10.8). All went smooth apart from the fact the when I launch adobe presener (flash) over any browser in MacOS, it can not play the audio part. It used to with 10.6.8.
The problem persists after rebooting the Mac. Other Apps (iTunes) use the audio just fine. So, it's something specific to the path of code that Adobe flash is using (?). The funny part is that when I launch VMware Fusion and a Windows7 VM, I can use the audio for the same application. So, it's the MAC part that's broken. Any ideas? Maybe I'm missing an updated plugin or something?
regards,
Thanos

There's no change if I hold command-R to boot into recovery. The mac chimes on powerup but nothing else seems to happen.
The machine has an SSD drive in it so I can't even listen to hear if it is loading anything or acting differently when I try different keypresses.
As I had some spare RAM lying around, I've tried swapping that in but no change there either. I still suspect it's a software rather than hardware problem, but without any way to control the boot up, I'm not sure how I can fix it.
I do have remote time machine backups - is there any way of restoring these manually, perhaps by removing the drive from the mac and copying the backup data over using another system? (Unfortunately I don't have any other mac systems to experiment with this, though)

Losing USB audio output after a time

I have an external DAC connected to my iMac via USB (direct not via hub) and Toslink Optical.
In System Preferences > Sound > Output, the DAC shows up correctly, as also it does in Audio Midi Setup > Audio Devices > Output.
Also, the 'Built-in Output' (Optical) shows up correctly.
I can switch between USB or optical input on the DAC and they both work fine.
However, peridocally, the USB output from the iMac will simply stop working: aside no sound, the 'lock' light on the DAC goes off.
The USB settings remain in prefs/midi panes, and the USB DAC device remains shown correctly (and the format etc. can continue to be adjusted).
The optical output is not affected and continues to work normally, so switching the DAC to that gives me sound back.
Unplugging and replugging the USB connection 'restores' the USB sound.
Any ideas what's getting lost/corrupted here?
(I'm on 10.8.4 despite the signature)

No-one???

Cant reset my Audio Output after plugging in Audio Kontrol Interface

Whenever i plug in my audio kontrol interface to use a microphone Logic recognizes it and changes the input so that it picks it up, but it also makes sets the Output to the interface, like what garageband did, but i cant figure out how to change the output from my interface back to its original speakers output! PLEASE HELP

Unlike GarageBand, you can't set input and output devices separately. You can create a set up using both your interface and built-in audio at the same time by creating an aggregate device. Instructions on how to set this up are here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1215
If you want to switch outputs on the fly, try using SoundSource. It's free, very useful, and you can find it here:

My headphone audio output on imac makes a very loud low freg buzzing sound.

I have my Imac hooked up to my home studio for recording music. It is currently hooked up to my high quality rane mixer, which has superior sound quality. But for some reason every time I plug a cord into the headphone jack to my mixer, TV or anything else from the Imac headphone jack, it comes out with a very loud low frequency humming/buzzing noise even on very low volume settings, even with the bass turned all the way down. It is extremely annoying. Does anyone else have this problem? I would expect a little more from apple products. Especially with something simple like this, since these machines are mostly designed for video/audio production. . I have tried switching my cords around and changing my setup for months now. No luck. And, no, my imac does not have an optical out and I think that would probably solve the whole problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Do you have your recording equipment isolated from the computer equipment? These buzzes and rumbles are usually easily solved by making sure that your audio equipment is plugged into a different electrical circuit than the iMac.
However, yes your iMac does indeed have digital audio. I do not know of an Intel model that does not have digital audio. The audio ports do both analog and digital audio. To use digital audio you need a Toslink cable with a miniplug adapter on the iMac end of the cable.
Such as this;

No audio output after rendering video in Premiere Pro CS5.5

I have a pretty simple video with 2 audio tracks -- 1 from the GoPro video, the other is a song. Everything plays fine while editing -- but when I export the video, the audio disappears. Is this a bug or are my settings buggered up? See audio settings below:
And here are the video settings:

OK - I tried AME. I imported the PRPro proejct - managed all the settings, pressed "start" and let it sit. Nothing happened -- it stalled and never rendered a single frame. I know, different issue than before.
Back to the previous problem: I am posting my project window for you to check out. I re-rendered it, and same problem.

Audio output issue using Airplay Mirroring over Apple TV

I'm using the newest version of Apple TV to mirror my display from my MAC using the newest macbook pro with mountain lion 10.8.
The problem i'm having is whenever i try to change audio output in airplay mirroring mode the mirroring shuts off. I can't change outputs!! It's like it's forcing the macbook to use the apple tv hdmi port for audio. I NEED to use my USB DAC which i have connected to my MPB.
Grateful for any ideas, i did not expect the software to act as crappy as this. Using different audio sources successfully is something i took for granted.

Well, since I can't imagine this being a feature of Airplay I assume we're either hitting the limitations of the technology, or it's a bug. Knowing Apple I suspect it's a limitation of Airplay, perhaps because audio and video are sent out as an integrated stream?
I agree, this does suck, since all I have to use as audio is the tiny 1 watt speaker on my Epson projector! I can't even use audio out from the Apple TV, since all it has is that useless optical port. Very frustrating indeed.

Optical/Digital Audio Output from MacBook

So I am interested in hooking up my MacBook to my HDTV so I can watch movies with it. I know for video I need to get a mini-DV to HDMI cable. That's easy. But what about audio? I would ideally like to have playback in surround sound. I have read that the headphone audio output also doubles as an optical output. Is this true? If so what cable can I buy and will it output surround sound from a DVD movie?

Yes, the audio port doubles as an optical in and output. You will need a optical cable from your macbook to your sound system to have surround sound/dolby digital, and when you play the dvd it should automatically convert the output to a digital signal. I have this setup on my iMac and Macbook. I have the logitech Z680 (now Z-5500), and when I play a DVD, the screen on the controller says 'digital'.
The cable you'll need is a optical audio cable 3.5mm (for the macbook) to a toslink (square shaped with two corners tapered). You can buy cables which are toslink to toslink that come with adaptors for 3.5mm jacks.
