No longer able to mute or change playback output device for capture.

I have no preview button to turn off in my capture window and have instead gone into the FCP preferences to change the playback output device to something other then my Fireface800 IO device, such as the built in output so that what's being captured only comes out the little speaker in the tower.
Thus I am free to work on other stuff. (8 core mac pro, gobs of ram, multitasking has never been a problem, even while capturing HD.)
But as of the latest update (I keep all my apps up to date), capture plays through the System default device no mater what the FCP setting. So with out a mute button for the capture, I'm screwed.
I'm screwed because I have to Mix down an EP while I capture 26 hours of conference footage at the same time. Obviously, I can't mix properly with that chatter playing loudly over it.
Apple said I have to reinstall because there's no preview button and there should be but I am curious if there's any other way (because it's a huge pain in the *** and tends to screw up other things) and I would like to know if the way I usually do it is broken for other people, so I know if I can upgrade to the latest version again because it was some goofball problem with the framework that reinstalling fixed or if not because that's a bug in 7.0.3
1. Choose one audio output (say, Built in Line Output or your default sound card) everywhere that matters in the Final Cut preferences for Audio output, including Audio Playback Output which is what I've been using to switch this for, gosh, years probably just out of habit.
2. Log and Capture, capture some footage from tape. (I happen to be working with a basic HDV firewire profile.) What device do you hear output from?
3. Stop capturing... and, if you wish, for good measure, close the capture window.
4. Go back to FCP preferences, now choose a DIFFERENT audio output, say, Built In Speaker Output.
5. Try to capture some footage. Is the sound coming out of the built in speaker now?
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO QUICKLY SILENCE THE AUDIO FROM FCP DURING CAPTURE?
Thank you.

excuse me, not linksystem, its a verizon FIOS wireless router & modem as part of the package. i was thinking my old setup.
new system...cant edit my posts....?

  • Changing audio output device for currently running program

    I'm not sure where to put this question, but all my searching hasn't seemed to find an answer...
    If I have a program running, iTunes, VLC, a game, whatever, and want to change audio output from say Line Out to Headphones, I have to restart the program for the change to take effect. Is this by design/normal or am I missing something somewhere?

    this is actually a quiet significant issue. There is no way in Flash to select the audio output device.
    Today  people have regular speakers and a separate headset. They all use the  speakers for music and the headset for voice. Skype i.e. has the option  to choose audio output device and its really handy, because
    you dont  have to bother to set the default device to the headset everytime you  want to use it.
    If you set the default device to the headset all other apps will send their audio  output to the headset - which is not what you want either.
    So people  really want to leave the default device set to the speakers and not to  the headset.
    Nokia did this for Java
    JRT 2.1 / Nokia UI API updated to version 1.4:
                AudioOutputControl extension for controlling which audio output device, for example the device loudspeaker or earpiece, is used to play back audio
    This really is an issue.

  • VB6 Using MCI Commands to Select MIDI Output Device for Playback in Windows 8.1

    I have written a MIDI Player program in VB6 that uses the multimedia control.  In Windows 8.1, I understand that midimapper is no longer available so the third party softwares which can set the output devices for MIDI do not work as they did for
    Vista and Windows 7.  I found this Microsoft example code that selects sound cards using MCI code and was able to modify the code to show me the MIDI output devices.  In particular I need to output to a USB to MIDI cable.  Can this code be modified
    to do just the PLAY function for midi out to the USB to MIDI cable?  I do not need the record side of the program.  Here is the MS article number since I can not post the link to the the VB6 program:  q182799
    With a modified code to play midi, I can then pull the necessary code into my MIDI Player Program.  Thank you for the help on this.

  • Cannot change the output medium for contract

    Hi Everyone,
    In the contract we have "Output" tab to change the output medium for the contract.
    So the issue is when I click on the change button and try to change e-mail address,I am not able to do that.
    The e-mail address is grayed out though I am in the change mode.
    This is happening for some contracts only.
    How should I change the e-mail address of the contract?

  • I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?

    I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. 
    There will be no audio output in safe mode. The question to be answered by the test is whether any devices are listed in the Sound preference pane. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Change Build Output Filename for SSIS Project

    I have a Visual Studio 2010 solution (TxMExtractLoad) with two SSIS projects: TxMExtractLoad.Discovery and TxMExtractLoad.Contract1.  The project name (in project properties) is set to the proper two-part name in each project.  However, when I
    do a "Build", the generated .ispac file loses the second part of the project name: both projects build to "TxMExtractLoad.ispac" (in different directories, fortunately).
    I can see where I can change the output *path* for the build, but not the output *filename*.
    Any help, anyone?
    Thanks in advance...

    Came across this post whilst encountering the same issue and thought i would post the solution i discovered
    The ispac will get its name from the Name defined in the project properties minus whatever is following the final name part
    Therefore, your SSIS package of TxMExtractLoad.Discovery will become TxMExtractLoad.ispac 
    If you change the name in project properties to something like TxMExtractLoad.Discovery.myProject
    or TxMExtractLoad.Discovery..ispac then when you build it it will build as TxMExtractLoad.Discovery.ispac 
    Hope this helps

  • How to chang audio-output-device(s) in Windwos 8

    Hi,
    currently I’m working on an application that starts by changing the audio-output-device and ends with re-setting the old one.
    On Windows XP I do this by changing the Registry-entry “Sound-Mapper” and it works quite well.
    I hopefully assume it works on all Windows Systems from XP to Windows 7.
    The background is that our program is supposed to play certain multi-channel sounds over an external USB-multichannel-soundcard and it should switch to that device on start. To actually play the sounds we use the AxWindowsMediaPlayer-Class
    to integrate the Windows-Media-Player in our application.
    However, on Windows 8, it is possible to set multiple Audio-Outputs and the Windows-Media-player has a setting to choose from them (under Options). I was unable to use the Registry-trick to switch the output-device and I could not find
    a way to programmatically tell the AxWindowsMediaPlayer to choose the USB-soundcard as an output.
    Is there a Way to programmatically(c#) ether change the audio-output-device(s) in Windos8 or to tell
    AxWindowsMediaPlayer to use a certain device?
    Thank you.

    Hi Kristin,
    I think your reply pushed me in the right direction.
    The waveOutOpen-function is part of the
    winmm.dll-API and I think, that API is the solution to my Problem.
    Unfortunately I am stuck at this point. I tried mciSendString and mciSendComand. Both are cappable of playing sound, but I am unable to change the output Device.
    This is my c# code to open a WAV-File via mciSendCommand:
    MCI_OPEN_PARMS open = new MCI_OPEN_PARMS();
    open.wDeviceID = 0;//this is somehow ignored
    open.lpstrDeviceType = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi("waveaudio");
    open.lpstrElementName = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(@"test.wav");
    IntPtr ptr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(MCI_OPEN_PARMS)));
    Marshal.StructureToPtr(open, ptr, false);
    mciSendCommand(Convert.ToUInt32(textBox2.Text),               
    MCI_OPEN,              
    MCI_WAIT | MCI_OPEN_TYPE | MCI_OPEN_ELEMENT,              
    ptr);
    Afterwards I use mciSendCommand to start the playing of the sound, which works fine, but no matter what I enter in the “open.wDeviceID”-Line, I always get sound over
    the default output.
    I use waveOutGetDevCaps to get the number and kind of the output-Devices and this works fine.

  • Change console output device?

    Hi all,
    I have a laptop that I sometimes connect to a larger monitor.  I would like to be able to change my console output device so that I can connect to my larger monitor on the fly and have my console output switch over-- basically I'm looking for xrandr for the console (xrandr does the job just fine in X11).
    If I initially boot up with my laptop screen closed and my monitor connected, the console output goes to my monitor as desired.  But I would like to be able to switch output devices on the fly, rather than having to reboot to switch console output between my monitor and laptop screen.  Thanks for any help

  • Print to Video, Playback Output Video for 1080i60 Codec?

    Could someone who is using Final Cut Express 4.0 please check the characteristics under Easy Setup / HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, as to whether FCE 4.0 provides a “Playback Output Video” capability.
    In FCE 3.5, the pull down menu: Final Cut Express HD / Easy Setup / HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, “Playback Output Video” is not available, ie “None”.
    I have been using the “Print to Video” command within Final Cut Express 3.5 to export my edited video (NTSC 720x480) back onto my Sony mini DV TRV70 camcorder for archival purposes. This is usually something I do after burning discs using iDVD.
    I’m about to purchase a Canon HV30 hi-def camcorder, and in the same way, would like to archive my hi def edited videos, ......that is, after burning some DVD’s, I want to archive the entire 1080i60 version back onto tape using the Print to Video command and Rec Cntrl function of the camcorder. However, the “Playback Output Video” feature of FCE 3.5 for 1080i60 seems to be “None”.
    Appreciate any info as to whether FCE 4.0 has this feature, or are there any other ideas out there that would accomplish the same objective.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Michel (Bonjour)
    Thanks again for responding, and providing a number of good references for Blu Ray burning and burners.
    I recently “captured” a short Hi Def, 2 minute bird feeder video from my Canon HV30 with Final Cut Express HD 3.5, and placed the imported segment on the Time Line viewer. All of this with FCE set in the 1080i60 AIC codec.
    With no editing nor transitions nor effects, I then did a “Print to Video” of this Time Line segment, and recorded it back onto the Canon, positioning it on the tape directly following the original recording.
    I then rewound the mini DV tape, and played back the two videos from the Canon into my high definition Samsung via HDMI. I couldn’t tell the difference between the two video samples, …….the original recording compared with the copy that was captured by FCE and re-recorded back onto tape.
    I then took this same Time Line segment, exported to a QuickTime self contained movie (sequence), and then dragged that QT sequence into iDVD (Version 7.0.3) widescreen theme pane. It took about 30 minutes to process and burn that same short ( ~2 min) segment to a DVD using my iMac 2.1Ghz G5 w/ standard Super Drive.
    I then played back that DVD disc on my HD Samsung through a standard DVD Player (no up converting capability) and could see a good rendition of the video sample, but fuzzy in spots especially during slow panning, …..a good video but NOT certainly the Hi Definition quality that I saw during playback from the Canon mini DV tape playback.
    A question for you experts……is the degradation seen during DVD playback caused by the iDVD software not producing a 1060i Hi Def rendition, ….or is the DVD ok and the fact that I did not have an unconverting or Blu Ray DVD player the reason for the lack of non hi-def quality from the DVD?
    Michel, …..I have not as yet purchased Toast 10 with the HD plugin. Would you expect that I would see an improved version, ….a nearly Hi Def rendition if I had used Toast 10 instead of iDVD? Or do I have to go the distance!…….that is, Toast 10, a Blu Ray burner, and Blu Ray Player as well!…..to see a version of my 2 minute sample as good as what my Canon HV30 playback is showing me?
    Once again, Thanks in advance

  • CHANGE THE OUTPUT MEDIUM FOR SRM PURCHASE ORDERS

    We are using SRM 5.0
    I tried to change the SRM purchase order's output
    medium from 'XML' to 'Print' using a function module
    'BBP_OUTPUT_PO_PARAMS_SET' within the BADI 'BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI'. Though it changes the
    output medium and chooses the right radio button
    at the UI interface level (i.e)
    Purchase order Header->output->
                        radio buttons(print,email,fax,xml)
    It still holds the output medium as 'XML' at the
    Document output log and process the document as 'XML'.
    Is there a way to update the output log to hold the changed medium i.e (print)

  • How to change default audio device for gnome?

    My laptop has an integrated sound card, but I lately got a USB headset (headphones+mic, which works with linux btw, I tested it with GizmoProject which lets me choose which /dev/dspXX I want): http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=U200&cpc=SCH
    So, how do I change the default audio device for *all* desktop sounds to the headphones? I tried the two gnome sound properties, and when I select the headset device they let me configure it but ALSA still uses the internal audio card. Why isn't there a way to easily select which device you want for your sounds as there is for BeOS, Windows and OSX?

    Eugenia wrote:Well, it's still not good enough.
    We can't satisfy everyone. What you want is a corner case. For most people ALSA and dmix works appropriately, and that is what esd uses by default. We cannot document and automate every configuration possible. That's up to the users.
    However, if you don't want to restart gnome, try the below... I make a few assumptions, but even if they're wrong, they're hardly difficult to work around.
    Just copy the /etc/esd.conf to ~/.esd.conf, make your change, then do killall esd. Presumably gnome will restart esd, and it ought to read your local config. If it doesnt, start it yourself.
    Feel free to write a script that automates this, or document it on the wiki.
    I have to restart Gnome to get this thing working. Other OSes *automatically* can use an alternative device. But if I change ESD, I will have to restart Gnome, no?
    Well, if you try my suggestion above, no. You can restart esd yourself. And that's what all the other distros do, except with some fancy GUI.

  • Is FCE 3.5 able to use a 2TB external hard drive for capture?

    Having strange problems capturing on my newest (& biggest) external drive, a 2 TB G-raid.  Even if I set the G-raid as the only scratch drive, FCE captures to the Mac hard drive.  I am now getting past the midpoint of this drive's capacity, that is there's already about a terabyte of footage on it.  Is there an upper limit of drive size FCE will handle?
    I've tried moving the newly-captured footage over to the G-raid in Finder and deleting it from the Mac HD but then get into difficulty with what seem to be spurious and intractable "media offline" messages. 
    Not sure if this is inherent in the software or if I maybe have a bad external drive (it's only about 9 months old.)  Or other possibilities?
    I'm thinking about reformatting the big drive into 2 volumes - the footage is backed up on other drives - but that's a long run to reload all the data unless there's some likelihood it will work...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    ss

    Thanks for input, Dick.  Connection has been via 800FW only.  It's been a frustrating 3 days, but I'm beginning to think drive/volume size was a red herring.  Not only is FCE 3.5 unable to deal with this drive, but Finder on the OS X 4.11 has been unwilling to do a simple transfer of its files to another drive. A 3-month-old clone of my boot drive worked exactly the same as the current version on these tasks, that is, not very well.
    Right now I am moving ~650GB of the same video clips from my only working backup drive (a 750 GB 400FW Seagate FAP) to a 1TB USB drive converted from Windows format for the occasion.  Not for editing, just for a second backup...  It's chugging along slow & steady.
    Time to talk to my friends at G-Tech.   I believe this drive is under 3-year warranty...   :-)

  • Changing an output type for SmartForms

    Hi all,
    I have a picklist that I changed from SAPScript to SmartForm.  I am trying to edit the output type EK00 to use the SmartForm.  I am using V/38 to edit EK00 but I can't figure out the right properties.  Right now I have the FM name (/1BCDWB/SF00000017) as the Layout Module, the SmartForm name (ZPCC_PICKLST_STD) as the SmartForm.  Also, under Pricessing 1, I have the print program (ZRVADEK01), FORM routine as (SMARTFORM_PRINT) and Form as (ZPCC_PICKLST_STD).  Is there anything else that I need to change?  When I try to use EK00 it is still looking for a SAPScript instead of a SmartForm.
    Regards,
    Davis

    Matt, thanks for the reply.  I just tried what you posted and it still gives me an error.  I get a popup that says "WRITE_FORM is invalid, OPEN_FORM is missing.
    Could my problem be that the old SAPScript and the new SmartForm have the same name?  Below is the configuration:
    Layout Module:  <b>nothing there</b>
    SmartForm:  <b>ZPCC_PICKLST_STD</b> (name of the smartform)
    Processing 1:
    Program: <b>ZRVADEK01</b>
    FORM routine: <b>SMARTFORM_PRINT</b>
    Regards,
    Davis
    EDIT:  I do not have any SAPScript functions (open_form, close_form, etc...) in the print program.  I took the preconfigured print program for SDPIK_L (preconfigured picklist) and added our custom logic.
