No sound out of back line out MacPro Bootcamp 3.1 Windows 7 64bit

No sound out of back line out speakers.
MacPro Early 2008
Bootcamp 3.1
Windows 7 64bit
Realtek HD audio driver.
I have speakers plugged into the back line out.
They work in Mac 10.6.4 (as always) and in Parallels 5 Windows 7 using Bootcamp partition.
All other jacks work. In Realtek driver it shows nothing connected to that jack.
Anybody else have this issue?
Anybody else have solved this?

Anyone at all?
Even if you don't have the issue yet have a similar setup. Maybe I can figure out if there's a driver update I may need.
BTW I KNOW others have this as I've seen this mentioned on other forums. What I do NOT know is whether it's "everyone" or there's something about systems that don't have this issue, I need to follow.

Sound problems with back line out port

Hey everyone, I just sent an email to MSI Tech Support, but figure I would post a message here as well. I just put together a new system, but I'm having a problem with the back line out port.
My problem: When I plug in the front panel audio connectors (Left Audio Out, Left Audio Return, Right Audio Out, Right Audio Return) in the motherboard on pins 5-6 and 9-10 of JAUD1, the back line out does not work properly. I get sound on only the right speaker of the headphones.
More info:
- Audio Driver: 5.10.0.5620 (from MSI CD)
- If I instead plug the headphones on the front audio line out, then sound is fine
- Here's the strange part, if I unplug the front audio connectors from the motherboard (and short pins 5-6, 9-10 with the jumpers, obviously), then the sound on the back line out works properly!
- My Windows sound settings are fine
Has anyone heard of this problem? Any ideas/suggestions of what I could try?
Could this be a defective board? Could it be bad wires on the case? Seems unlikely since both back line out and front line out work depending on what I have setup.
Help! :-)
Thanks,
icab

Rear sound problem
Third time this has come up in 1 or 2 weeks.
Steve,
I appreciate the reply, but I believe you are wrong. Yes, I have searched the forum and did find that thread. Yes, I have read the manual. The only thing that it says is: "If you don't want to connect to the front audio header, pins 5 & 6, 9 & 10 have to be jumpered in order to have signal output directed to the rear audio ports. Otherwise, The Line-out connector on the back panel will not function." That's not my case since I want both ports to work (not outputting the signal both at the same time, obviously).
This can't be ByDesign. Either my board is defective or MSI is not following the Intel Front Panel I/O Connectivity Guide correctly. The whole point of having 4 wires for the front panel audio ports, 2 of the wires being Aud_Ret_R and Aud_Ret_L, is so that the audio signal is sent to the front line out and _returned_ to the back line out if nothing is plugged in the front line out.
I have an IBM machine with an intel mobo at work and it works as mentioned in the design guide.
Any other ideas, anyone? I can still RMA my motherboard, but it's a design issue, i guess I'm stuck. I never got an automated reply from MSI Tech Support, so I guess my email never went through. I'll send another email and let the forum know of the results.
Thanks,
Igor

I want sound to go to line out but each new boot it selects internal speaker

I select sound to go to line out but with each new boot it reverts internal speaker. How can I "save" my sound preference??

Hi Del.
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Possible to use both optical out AND regular line out at the same time?

I currently have my computer speakers (logitech z560) hooked up to the mac pro via regular stereo jack in the back. I have an extra receiver that I would love to hook in to supply me with some needed sound for movie watching and what-not.. Is there a way to enable both line out - digital and line out at the same time?

You can set DVD Player's "Audio output" to "Digital Out" in its "Disc Setup" preference, while other applications use Line Out.
You could use a splitter on Line Out to feed your current speakers, and analog Line In on your receiver. When you want sound to both systems, set the receiver to Line In. When you want to watch DVDs, set it to Digital In. This will give you surround sound if the DVD has multichannel sound, and the receiver supports more than two channels.
If you really want the same output on the Mac Pro Line Out, and Digital Out, you can use the "Auxiliary Device Output" effect in Audio Hijack Pro

It will not support more than two-channel audio.

GX740 - Anyone get two TRUE separate audio streams out Headphones and LINE OUT?

Hoping for an update on this. I asked MSI via their support section and wow... what a FAIL that was:
Quote
Do you have new specific drivers that allow TRUE 4 channel output? 2 out the headphones and 2 separate out the LINE OUT as implied by the design? I've tried everything and it doesn't work.
I've tried ASIO4YOU drivers - doesn't work.
I've tried every RealTek driver out there - nothing.
Yes, I've set the RealTek driver to do multiple out but it sends the audio out the HDMI port, NOT THE LINE!
I know this can be done cause you can set the REALTEK for 7.1 and you get separate streams out the headphones and line-out ports!
Please - you've sold a laptop with "Headphone Out" and "Line Out" yet it fails to actually do that - NEW DRIVERS PLEASE?

Dear Customer,
Please go to msi global website to download the audio driver,then install it.
audio driver:
http://www.msi.com/service/download/nbdriver-15227.html
Needless to say, that did nothing. In fact, I can't understand how I could of received such an answer given it made no sense what-so-ever. Download the driver that came with it? One that's now almost a year old?
Regardless... I've tried that one. I've tried the latest RealTek drivers. I've tried a multitude of ASIO drivers. NOTHING WORKS. Yes, I've set the RealTek to send TWO SEPARATE STREAMS. That does NOTHING. The only thing I've been able to ascertain is that you can send one stream out the headphone/line out (same thing) AND one out the HD port which is useless.
Here's the pain in the ass: If you go to the RealTek setup and change it to 7.1 and hit TEST, you DO hear separate output out the HEADPHONE JACK and the THIRD Audio Out jack which is the side fills so I know this laptop CAN spit audio out two separate outputs sitting on the side of the computer.
Why do I want to do this:
Simple. I'm lugging around an external audio interface for DJing and it's a pain. I'd rather just tap the headphones out for, well, headphones and send the line out or that third audio output to the DJ mixer. Done! I've tried MIXMEISTER, VIRTUAL DJ, NOTHING WORKS! I can select various strangely named outputs insinuating speaker out, speaker out + 1, etc... but no... it doesn't work at all...
Sooooooooo... has ANYONE been able to get this to work? I'd love to know...

Yea Stu... been through this part... Playback devices show the typical:
1. Speakers (Realtek) -> Plays on ext. speakers but sounds like just treble. Headphone Out plays this stream.
2. RealTek HD Audio 2nd output -> Plays on ext. speakers but sounds like bass/mids. No treble. NO OUTPUT PLAYS THIS. Plug anything in and sound from the speakers just shuts off
3. Realtek HDMI Output (Not selectable)
4. Realtek Digital Output (Not selectable)
So yea, it seems right out of the box there is a problem with the sound on this unit. Choosing speakers sounds like crap (no mid/bass) and choosing HD Audio 2nd output sounds like crap (all mid/bass no treble).
There is no discrete dual audio out the jacks.
HOWEVER - Go choose 7.1 from the realtek setup and do a test. Well what do you know, DISCRETE 2ND AUDIO OUTPUT OUT THE HEADPHONE JACK AND THE 3RD OUTPUT JACK OF THE 4 IN A ROW. This PROVES you can have two discrete stereo audio streams coming out the output jacks. Just need someone to write the driver for it.
Here's the thing. This laptop HAS 4 1/8" JACKS. SEE:
Here's what the manual says about the output jacks:

Sound on sp-dif & line out at the same time

Hi,
I'm new here so please bare with me. I've just bought a new computer with PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio installed. I'm using the line out connections for a set of 5. speakers surrounding the computer and the digital out SP/DIF optical output going into the room next door connected to my main amp and speakers. The problem is that I can't get the SP/DIF output to work unless I physically unplug the line out connections from the back of the computer. I want to be able to use both at teh same time.
I've looked at previous postings on this issue and the nearest I can find is from several years ago and I'm not sure of the applicability to my soundcard. Grateful for any help with this.
Many thanks,
Mark?

. Varies according the the specific product. I'm familiar with the PCI SBLi've/SBAudigy cards. The pre-5. SBLi've models had both acti've, but they might not have the same audio mix if the "Digital Output Only" setting is disabled. Digital outputs on Li'veDri'ves, Digital I/O addon cards generally had corresponding behavior. The SBLi've 5. and SBAudigy models are either/or because the digital jack is dual-purpose. Other digital outputs (Li'veDri've, AudigyDri've, etc.) are generally always on. SBAudigy2 and later have dedicated digital outs which are always-on as well (other than being muted for high-resolution DVD-Audio). Gi'ven your second question, though, it should be noted that the master volume control applies to both digital and analog outputs equally, so this is _not_ a way to get two outputs with separate volume control.
2. The master volume slider operates digitally before the conversion to analog, so no.
3. Not impossible in theory, but probably not very practical.
Is it possible to reveal your goal because it would help to understand what you want to accomplish by this? It sounds like you want 2 identical outputs whose volume you can control separately. If I were trying to have that, I'd just use a splitter cable/adapter on the line out and send these to somethings that each have their own volume control. Since the software volume control is digital, I avoid using it, actually. I run all my volume controls full up and control volume externally. That tends to do a better job of maintaining SNR performance.

Adjust sound to edit back noise out in imovie

the video is a .mov file and i wanted to adjust the sound to edit out the backround noise to get the talking in the video louder for a recorded interview. Can i do it in I movie? i have Imovie hd 6

That's cool I installed audacity a while ago its fun to slow down voices. I go to file import and find the video and it takes the audio out i guess. But when i play it, it makes a horrid noise and it only takes about a second to play a 3 minute video. I don't know if I should change the format of the video or know more about the options to import audio, labels, MIDI, and raw data. It has lots of options after some of them.

Fade 4 out of 5 lines out: Audience Response Questions

Hi:
I have to give a talk where the audience uses those remote responder devices. Thus, I will post a text slide with a question and 5 possible responses on it. The audience will then have a time period to choose their answer to the question.
What I would like to do would be to have the 4 incorrect responses to the question dissolve from the slide at this time in response to a single mouse click by me, leaving only the correct response. Any ideas as to how I can design a build to do this? I'm having trouble with this.
Thank you!

If you've got a basic black background, just cover the wrong answers with black rectangles set with the opacity at, say, 50%. One one slide, you'd have your answers all fully displayed and, on the next slide, you'll have three of them obscured. Put a dissolve transition between the two, and I think that will give you what you need.
Alternately, if you're using a theme that won't look right with a semi-opaque rectangle on it, simply change the opacity of your "wrong answer" text on the second slide. Still use the dissolve and the three wrong answers will fade out.

Guys ... I have a 2008 MacPro running the current Yosemite. I also have installed the sound amp called "BOOM!" I have the Sound set to Line Out which should have the computer boot up to BOOM! Instead, it boots up to the Internal speaker. What's up?

Hi Folks ...
I have a 2008 MacPro running the current Yosemite. I have installed the recommended upgraded video card, but the sound is as it was new. I also have installed the sound amp/graphic equalizer called "BOOM!" I have the Sound set to Line Out which should have the computer boot up automatically to BOOM! and thus to the external speakers. Instead, it boots up to the Internal speaker. According to the folks at "BOOM!", this is happening to others who have similar Macs. They can't find any explanation within BOOM!, so I am turning to you all. Any ideas?

Hi Kappy ...
Sorry, I guess I didn't state the problem very well.
I don't want the computer to boot up to the internal speaker. I want it to boot up to the external speakers. However, even though System Preferences is set on Line Out, when the computer boots up or reboots, it erroneously goes to internal speaker. So, every time I boot up, I have been going to System Preference/Sound and clicking on Line Out. From that point on, everything is OK until the next boot up. It is a small annoyance, but annoying all the less. The simple explanation seems to be that when the computer is shut down, it does not hold the setting for Line Out and resets itself to Internal Speaker. How do I change that behavior and get it to go to Line Out whenever it boots up?

Audio line-out gives no sound on right channel

I've a MacBook with two external speakers connected through a reciever.
After a while my right speaker stopped working. I brought the reciever back to the store, but everything was fine.
After plugging the reciever to my iPod, everything was working fine.
I found out that my line out is correctly anymore. I think because of plugging and unplugging the jack to much.
I suppose I need te go te the nearest Apple store to fix this problem?
Or maybe an external sound card is an option?

Did you check your Balance setting? Goto Preferences-Sound-Output Tab and make sure the Balance slide bar is in the middle between Left & Right. Also, make sure that the speaker plug is plugged in all the way. -GDF

Satellite A350 - Sound Line Out And Speaker

When I plug in my Hi-Fi lead to the line out the speakers still keep playing the sound.
How can I mute the speakers but still have sound coming through the line out connection?

Hello
Default setting is when you connect headset or some external speakers using audio-out port the speakers will be off automatically. So I am really confusing why this doesnt work with your notebook. Maybe you have changed some settings.
Anyway, check playback settings in sound properties and all settings in Audio Manager thet you can find in Control Panel.

IPod Dock - Charge only and line out when iTunes not open

Hi I just got an iPod dock which is connected both to my computer via USB and my sound system via the line out.
Here is what I want to happen. Come back from college listening to iPod, remove headphones place into dock and let the music play through my sound system. Then when I need to update my iPod open iTunes and start autosync. Is this possible with out unplugging my USB cable and replugging it in.
So far what happens is the second I dock the iPod it goes to Do not diconnect and all music stops. I changed all the settings in the ipod preferences like open itunes when connected, automatically sync, use as disk drive. Using different combinations and also disabled the drive from device manager but then when I open iTunes it doesnt sync.
Is there anything I can do?

Mine just did the same thing,try holding the center and the menu buttons at the same time it worked for mine.

Headphones vs. Line Out - a Hassle

Just took delivery of a shiny new Mac Pro and noticed that, when I plug headphones into the jack beneath the Power button, I must manually select Headphones through System Preferences (In System Preferences, "Headphones" becomes "Internal Speakers" when headphones are unplugged). To get sound back, through my "Line Out" speakers, I must, once again, manually select this option in System Prefs. My G5 recognized the insertion of the headphone jack regardless of which "Out" option had been selected - Internal Speakers/Headphones, Line Out (or Digital Line Out). I use headphones frequently, and all the opening and closing of System Prefs is a hassle. Is this the way Apple designed the new Mac Pro? if so, is there a script, Automator, or 3rd party workaround which allows you to easily "toggle" between headphones and Line Out speakers? Thanks.

I swear my G5(s) didn't work like this until one day I did something, and my Mac Pro does it as well. There has to be a setting somewhere for this.

Hdajackretask line out question

Hi there!
I want to remap (retask) headphones jack (3.5 mm) to act as line out.
Trouble is in that I can choose only from "Line out front", "Line out back", "Line out center", "Line out side", but I want just one simple "Line out" to connect to 1 channel amplifier.
What can I make in such situation? Will "Line out front" be suitable in such situation? May be "Advanced options" checkbox will help (but I don't know how to configure port in this mode)?
Thanks.

Better audio would be relative. Remember the audio will only be as good as the weakest link in the chain. If you are prepared to use high quality audio files, amplification and speakers or headphones, then yes, you can get better audio performance. But if you are only planning to make a partial commitment, you aren't going to get any gain and will just waste your money.
Here is an example of a iPhone/iPad/iPod D/A device on Amazon. I'm sure there are many more you can check out.
http://www.amazon.com/Nuforce-ICON-IDO-SILVER-Audiophile-Grade-Headphone-Devices /dp/B005LRTH5Q/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1414176166&sr=8-7&keywords=ipod+lightning+ cable+headphone+amps
You don't want to go too cheap because a poor quality D/A converter may make the audio worse. What devices like this does, is take a function that your iPad already does through built-in circuitry and do it externally with the assumption that you can buy a D/A converter and amplifier with higher quality components than those used by Apple.

Line Out 1

Hello,
i have the SB Audigy 2 ZS and a Logitech 2. Soundsystem but also a Headset (Phone + Micro) for use when gaming and using voice coms.
So here is my problem. In my current speakersystem i am only able to plug in the Headphone into an aditional plug, but not the microphone. But for using my Headset when gaming i need the micros also so i have to plug it into the SB Audigy into Line out 2 and the micro into micro. So far so good, but when i select in the audiopreferences / Speakersetup " speakersystem or headphones i only get sound at Line out and Line out 2 is silent.
If i set the settings to Quadrophonic or 5. etc i get sound at Line Out 2 also but only the soundsignals that should come from behind and not the whole spectrum of sounds deli'vered.
So is there any way to have both Line Out & 2 give me a signal good for Headphones / 2 Speaker system?
All other ways i only have Line Out Frontsignal and Line Out 2 rear signal, what doesnt fit realy my needings.

The soundcard is operating as designed what you need to do is set speakers to 2. and use a splitter connected to line-out .
