No sound from Line out on X-Fi El

I have lost my sound from the Line Outs on a X-Fi elite. Or rather I can hear it but only if the volume is a 00% and then it is very poor quality. I have been using the Headphone Jack on the breakout box and this is my first time trying the Line Out. Can somebody tell me if the Line out is supposed to be a true low power Line out or is it capable of powering unpowered speakers or some small headphones. It seems to me that headphones should work fine from the Line out, so what do you suppose my problem is? I have checked the normal (IRQ, Drivers, default device, volumes, etc.). Any ideas? I'm running an MSI Nforce3 250gb board.
thanks...

mr. kat,
unfortunately, I don't have Playcenter -- I downloaded the file from Creative, and am met with the same message I receive when attempting to install Creative Recorder on win XP: nothing to upgrade, so no go on the install. I don't know how to get the data onto win XP in order for it to be upgraded. :0
I do remember there being CMSS back when I ran this device with my win98 computer, and that probably has something to do with it. I don't have EAX console either, but I do have the EAX Control Panel (aka Audio HQ) and there were no CMSS features there.
I have heard that one can use the SB Audigy installation with their SB Li've! cards and it will work -- have you heard anything to that effect?
Thanks,
mono

Is it possible to record sound from line out ?

Hi,
I am wondering is it possible to capture the live audio which is coming out to headphone, using Java Sound API?
I have searched through the Java Sound API and looks like it is impossible. So I want some experience guys throw some light on this.
Thanks.

I have the same question more or less. Can an HDMI to Thunderbolt adapter cable be used to capture video into iMovie?

No audio from line out

hi,
my audio works with internal speaker but nothing from line out when selected in sound controls. In audio midi setup, i do not appear to have any control on the master volume for line out, (its stuck at 0) i am suspecting a driver problem - May have been overwritten or deleterd when I tried to install Parallels 7 - now uninstalled
cheers

What do you have connected to line out?
Line out is designed to be the input to amplifiers and not speakers.

NO SIGNAL FROM SOUND CARD LINE OUT JA

I have a Sound Blaster Li've-Value Digital 024 card on my pc, and I have been trying to use the line out (black) jack, but there is no audio signal coming from it. I use the green jack for my external speakers and they work fine,I have plugged them into the black output and still no sound.
What am I doing wrong, I need som help ?

Dubmaster,
The Black Jack is the rear speaker output, it does not play the same signal as the front speaker out. Set the system to 4. on speaker settings in Audio HQ and it will enable the rear speakers. This will turn on the output for the rear jack.

2009 Mac Pro no audio out from Line Out and/or Digital Out.

Hey guys, I recently bought a new tv which has an optical input and thought I'd buy an optical cable to connect it to my Mac Pro's (4.1 model 2009 I believe) digital out port which I have never used before .
The issue I'm facing since is that I can't get out from my mac pro to my tv. I also bought a cable to direct sound from my mac pro's line out, to my tv's red/white stero audio ports.That didn't work either.
When I select Digital out as the default audio output in Sound preferences the OS says that there are not default audio controls for that device and the sound icon in the menu bar is greyed out while when I switch to line out output I can control volume but no audio is coming from my TV.
I've been searching on forums and didn't find any relevant answer so if someone knows what may cause this that'd be really helpful.
*ALSO: I've got windows 8 instaleld on my mac pro as well. The digital out doesn't work there as well although the line out does send sound to the TV.
** I also have soundflower installed and perian although I don't think any of them would mess things up like that.
Do you think this is a problem with my Mac or is this a common Mavericks issue (sorry forgot to mention I'm on 10.9.2)
Many Thanks,
Thanos.

That's normal. Is the correct audio input selected on the TV?

Audio problems - soft sound, no line-out detected

ok, so a number of things went wrong with my computer.
it was working perfectly, and i opened garage band up to record music, and all of a sudden, no sound was coming out. at this stage i was using the line-out to my stereo amp. it also wouldnt let me change the volume and came up with the circle-with-a-line-through-it symbol.
i did all the standard stuff, close garage band, play with the settings, go into system pref. restarted it, and then it was making some strange fuzzy noises, and system pref. said that no audio devices were detected, so i restarted again. now i only have built-in output detected, and its very quiet, even on full volume, the volume and mute controls all work.
so thats all of my problems. im currently running OS X 10.4.10 on an intel-based iMac.
thanks

Folks,
on Nov. 29, 2007 we have begun shipping a revised PocketDock Line Out USB, which is now iPhone-enabled. We have also revised the 1/8" stereo plugs on the included cables, so they are now thin enough to fit the iPhone’s recessed headphone jack.
Note that not all retailers might have the newest stock, so if you want to be on the safe side, either ask for which revision they sell (the iPhone-option is mentioned on the packaging) or order directly from http://www.sendstation.com.

No audio from line out port

hello, i am using plug-powered speakers on my powermac g5 using the front headphone port. the speakers work fine this way, but when i use them on the line out port in the back, i get a high pitched hissing sound and very quiet audio. the computer detects the speakers, and i am sure i'm using the output port ] ))) and not the input port >o<. how can i get the speakers to work from the line out port so i don;t have to use the front headphones port? thanks!

i have a question. if i have standard apple ipod headphones, and use them on the rear audio out port, will i get the same sound as the headphones port on the front?
i still can't get this to work. i'm starting to believe this is a hardware problem, all the settings are identical for audio out and headphones in audio MIDI setup, but i'm still not getting any sound when i use the rear.

No output from line out 1 and 3, audig

A while ago, I observed no sound coming from several speakers in our 5. sound system. 2 of the speakers provide sound. Also running windows xp and audigy 4.
I followed the trouble shooting guide using headphones and have no sound card ouput from lines and 3. Line 2 provides output.
We are using a 5. speaker system and individually plugged each of the 3 lines from the speaker system into line 2 out from the sound card and all the speakers sound good.
uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers 5.2.6.6?
The troubleshooting guide mentions a "digital only output" toggle under the volume advanced tab. I searched the sound and audio device properties utility from top to bottom but can't find the toggle.
I am not sure what to do regarding further troubleshooting. Please advise.
Regards,
Jer?

Never mind: focus was on the wrong computer on the KVM.

No sound in line out port

I am experiencing a weird problem. I can play music from my itunes, the internet, etc., and the sounds come out into my external speakers just fine. When i hook up something like a tape deck to the audio in port on my computer- I get no sound. I've gone into preferences- sound, Input, and choose "audio line in"- and I can see the input levels working just fine. When I go to Output- all i get is "built in audio" as an option?
I added software called "Audio Hijack" to capture sound on my computer and record it. I put something called " sunflower" into my output devide- but it's not highlighted, and I don't think it's the problem.
Shoulden't there be an additional audio line out showing up under preferences- output?. Is it hidden in my computer?

I don't have any way of geting sound into my QS, but I'm thinking that it just doesn't go in the Sound In then to the Sound Out, (may be way off on this), but needs to be captured/recorded, then played back to Sound Out.

Music from line-out, but effects from internal speakers?

Why is it that I have line-out selected as my output source for audio, and music can be played through it, but for a week now, sound effects like those from mail, are coming from the internal speakers?
I guess it could be a cool feature if it was something you could control, but this is definitely a bug as it is now. Can someone offer me a suggestion for this issue? Switching audio output and then back doesn't work (although it has worked for me in the past with 10.4).

I am experiencing the same problem. About a week ago (I didn't install any updates or anything) all my sound effects (mail, ichat, etc) started coming through the internal speakers even though I have my soundsticks selected for all output.
I've repaired permissions, rebooted, and tried all sorts of configurations in the sound portion of system preferences to no avail.
I'm running 10.5.2 on a 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 24"iMac with 3G of RAM.
Any help much appreciated.

Clicking sound on line out

Does anyone know why I am getting a clicking sound (about 80 bpm) on the line out port but not on the front output port. This is a 3GZ mac pro running OSX 4.9. Also, what's the proceedure for getting the machine fixed while still (just barely) under warranty? Hopefully it's just a software problem. Thanks, Ron

Do you have your audio cables running close to strong power sources, power cables etc? This can sometimes create noises similar to the kind of thing you're describing. That would be the first thing I'd want to rule out before checking the hardware itself.

Sony WX-GT90BT - No sound - RCA/Line out to amp

Just installed a new Headunit (Sony WX-GT90BT) with a small amp to supply more power to my speakers. I have properly wired the amp into the speakers and I am using the RCA (line out) cables to link into the headunit. The headunit turns on but there is no sound.
I have checked and rechecked all the fuses and wire configurations. Everything is as it should be, I was wondering if maybe the RCA ouputs are disabled by default. If thats the case does anyone know how to enable them. Any help would be much appreicated.

I also encounter the same issue. It would be great if someone could help. Thanks!

Have you enabled the multichannel output on "speakers settings" (4/4., ..., whatever you got there other than headphones or 2/2.)?

Have an iMac Early 2008 + Windows 7 and no sound from speaker out? SOLVED!!

Hello everyone,
So I'm pleased to say after over a month of trying to solve this annoying problem, it's been solved! Basically, if you have an iMac, Early 2008 edition (8,1) and Windows 7 and notice that the default microsoft driver gives very low sound and the new realtek drivers only give sound through the internal speakers... then this solution is for you!
What you'll need:
7-zip (www.7-zip.com)
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Disc 1 (NOT Snow Leopard!)
Here's what you'll need to do, step by step:
1) Uninstall the Realtek Driver (latest version currently 2.37) by going to Control Panel / Programs / Uninstall Programs.
2) Reboot. Upon reboot, the system will automatically reinstall the default Microsoft drivers. You can check this in Device Manager (control panel / system / device manager).
3) Insert the original Leopard Disc 1 that came with your iMac (very important, as this is the only driver I know for sure will work). Point windows explorer to the folder: D:\Boot Camp\Drivers (assuming d: is your cd-rom drive).
4) Copy the "RealTekSetup.exe" file somewhere on your desktop. Do NOT install it!
5) Decompress "RealTekSetup.exe" by right clicking the file and choosing "7-zip decompress". Again, you'll need to make sure you installed 7-zip from 7zip.com prior to doing this.
6) Go to your Device Manager again, right click the sound device (which should be something like High Definition Audio) and choose "Update Device Software".
7) Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and direct it to the folder that you extracted the drivers to.
8) You now have sound through your EXTERNAL SPEAKERS!
This works because there is a bug that RealTek/Apple does not seem to want to fix where the newer version of the RealTek control panel detects the speaker out as line in and the line in as nothing! This forces drivers normally made for Vista or Vista64 to install on Windows 7, which work 100% great.
I promise you, if you have an Early 2008 iMac, this WILL fix your problem if you follow each step! Let me know if you have any questions!
Brad Levicoff

If you don't have any Leopard disk then just google for "Vista_R199.exe".
This driver works nice on Early 2008 IMAC. I also tried an earlier version, Vista_R182.exe but there sometimes was a horrible background noise which made listening to music impossible.
Just download and follow the instructions above in the first post.
Have fun.

How can I keep my video sound from cutting out?

The last couple of weeks the sound on my videos has been cutting out after I play them on Itunes on my computer, usually after a few seconds to a minute or two. I do not have the same problem when I load them on my really old Ipod Touch however. How can I fix this problem? Everything else seems to play fine except the video audio on the computer when I use Itunes. I thought it was just the tv show audio that was affected, but I just tried a couple of movies and the soundtracks are having the same problems. The root menu screens were running fine, but when the actual movies started playing it started to cut out. Please help!

Try repair your QuickTime from control panel. Programs n features.
If that doesnot work, go to
Control panel
Sound (Hardware n Sound)
Under Playback tab, highlight each device and click Properties button
Go to Advanced tab and change Sample Rate to 16bit 48000hz (DVD Quality) or 96000hz (Studio Quality), OK n OK.
