No sound output on Solaris 8 and an Ultra 5

I have recently installed Solaris 8 on a Sun Ultra 5 after a few minor problems, everything seems to be working great.
However, I am unable to use any of the system sound notifications under KDE or Gnome. KDE starts the arts sound server just fine without any errors. Audio CD works great but no other audio.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Bummer. So you still can't boot OS 9, and get no sound device listed in the OS X Sound Preference Pane? Just checking, did you also press the CUDA reset button after reseating the card? (It's on the side of the motherboard between the PCI card slots and the side, at the rear of the DT case.)
For me, the sound started working again magically after I moved. So, my computer was unplugged for a couple of days and possibly bouncing around in the car a little. Not sure if a loose connection was restored during the move, or being unplugged from the wall power for a few days helped the computer recognize the card again.
Of course there's still the possibility your card is no longer working.

Sound output: Repeat Track and Pause

Hi,
I have to read from a .wav file and hear it from the sound card until I press a button. When the file ends, the program has to start again from the beginning of the file (as a "Repeat Track" function).
I would like to have both a Pause button (that makes me start from the last point of the file) and a Stop button (that starts again from the beginning of the file).
The Play Wave block allows to listen again and again the .wav file but I haven't been able to stop it in any way. Instead, using the Sound Output Write block I can stop the sound but I don't know how to listen the file in the "Repeat" mode.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks

Hi Biomed,
you can use the control called Windows Media Player, so that you can completely control the media you want to play.
Be careful because you have to enable the wave reading oin the media player: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090324123934AAyqWkM
One you've done so, you can use a property node to choose the media file you want to open and control the reproduction of it like the media player as a standalone app.
Hope it helps.

Sound Output - Internal Speaker and Headphone Jack?

I just installed my new iMac, which replaced my Mac Mini. I hook my Mac to my stereo via the headphone jack for playing iTunes. But most of the time I don't have the stereo on.
is there a way to keep the headphone jack plugged in and still have audio come out the internal speaker? Basically send audio output to both the internal speaker and the headphone jack at the same time?
On the Mac Mini this wasn't an issue because I had a splitter that ran from the mini to my monitor speakers and to my stereo.
Thanks!

Hi, you can get the internals to give notice of emails & actions..externals for any other sound..
Sadly your wishes on this matter will not come to fruition...L

Is it possible to set the sound output to Firewire and HDMI at the same time?

I would like to use Amarra for playing music thru the Firewire to a DAC and I would like the family to be able to use the MacMini for streaming sources thru the HDMI without having to change any settings every time. I'm running 10.8. Is that possible thru any special settings or separate software?
Thanks in advance

Do some web searches for using software called Soundflower in conjunction with other 3rd party audio software to set up your own audio input and output sources.
That is all I know about it. I have read a few ideas for doing such things over the years.

2 Apple TV's and no sound output when using AirPlay/mirroring?

Hi,
Bought my first apple tv and when air mirroring was able to go to my system preferences and choose sound output for it and it worked beautifully when I wanted to play a movie on my computer and send it to the TV. Bought a second apple tv for the bedroom, both are connected over wifi. Using Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now it won't play any sound on either and will not let me choose which apple tv in system preferences - sound. Any help would be appreciated
Sue
I have tried turning Apple TV on first, then choosing sound output before turning on air mirroring. Problem is it won't let me choose, stays on internal speakers.
This fix won't work for me.

Might I recommend the following sample code instead?

Two sound outputs on one box

Is it possible for one to configure a system to use two sound outputs: 1) HDMI and 2) standard RCA stereo out? My goal would be to have the main system sound use the HDMI (applications like mplayer for example) and to also have mpd to use the standard RCA stereo out. I'm currently using pulse audio but am open to anything.
Thanks for the advice.

I just tried it. I set account A to use internal speaker, B to use iMic audio output. I started iTunes on each account. I can fast user switch and A always plays through the internal speaker, B though the iMic.

Muine: no sound output, segfaults

When I try to play anything with Muine, it prdouces no sound output, then segfaults and crashes:
/opt/gnome/bin/muine: line 3: 5287 Segmentation fault /opt/mono/bin/mono /opt/gnome/lib/muine/muine.exe "$@"
Do I need to emerge something else, or is this a known bug?

Muine requires the DEVEL versions of Mono/GTK#. These packages are currently in TESTING, so I can not rebuild Muine against them.
When they make their way into EXTRA, I can rebuild.
The best solution would be for a dev to put Muine into TESTING as well, so it always stays on the same track.

I cannot change sound output to line out

I have a first gen 8-core Mac Pro 3GHZ. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, the machine wont let me change the sound output so that the sound comes out my external speakers. Have tried binning all sound prefs files, re-booting, PRAM and rebuild permissions. I know the speakers work and have tried using sound preferences panel, and Audo/Midi panel
Help!
Thanks in advance

Same here. Every time I reboot the sound defaults back to internal speakers. But it gets worse from there.
If it goes to the screen saver and log back in the sound is still set to line out but the output volume no longer works. By that I mean I can press the up and down volume on the keyboard and the volume control picture appears on the screen. However, the output volume under preferences>sound>output does nothing and the sound remains at the same volume. If I take the keyboard down to mute it will mute the system and cause the check box to activate. In order to fix the problem I have to click on internal speakers and back again to line out. At that point my volume controls work again.
Yippie Snow Leopard. Between that and taking away Quicktime's ability to make movies with picture files I wish I had waited on the upgrade.

TS1574 Hi, I dont have sound on my imac. The options in sound are greyed out and there is nothing in the output list

itunes and you tube are not working. There is no sound. When I am in itunes and play a song, the song does not start.
I checked system preferences, sound. There is no output options and the input options are greyed out.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers.
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

Hello, I just bought a 2013 Mac mini and I cannot get the sound to output to my Dell U2713HM monitor. I went to sound output but even though my Dell shows up there when I select it there is no sound output to it. I am using a mini DP to DP cable...

Hi Alxx911, and John Hammer1. After reading John's reply - " You can plug something into it's headphone jack. though" . I thought i'd try out of curiosity. I plugged in some headphones. I didn't expect anything to happen and nothing happened. The audio jack is for the Dell soundbar which is optional.
Here's a direct copy and paste from the users manual: Section About Your Monitor.
Attaching the Soundbar AX510 / AX510PA (Optional) CAUTION: Do not use with any device other than the Dell Soundbar. NOTE: The Soundbar power connector (+12 V DC output) is for the optional Dell Soundbar AX510/AX510PAonly. To attach the Soundbar: 1. Working from the back of the monitor, attach the Soundbar by aligning the two slots with the two tabs along the bottom of the monitor. 2. Slide the Soundbar to the left until it snaps into place. 3. Connectthe Soundbar with the DC power connector. 4. Insert the mini stereo plug from the back of the Soundbar into the computerís audio output jack. For HDMI/DP, you can insert the mini stereo plug into the monitorís audio output port. If there is no sound, check your PC if the Audio output is configured to HDMI/DP output.
This monitor has no speakers. (Like John Hammer1 mentioned). The no speakers feature was one of the reasons I chose this monitor.
Good Luck !

Apogee miniDAC and Sound output

There is no sound output from the Apogee miniDAc after the MacPro (2013) awakens from sleep. Sound output does occur if the internal Mac Pro speakers are selected. A restart will allow the Apogee miniDAC to function normally. In searching the threads regarding similar topics, it appeared that this occured with fusion drives. However others have reported similar problems with SSD.
Is this a Mavericks issue? My Apogee miniDAC is connected to the computer via USB.
I would like to maintain the miniDAC since it does provide the interface to my preamp and speakers.
Thank you.

This seems to be a bug with digital audio output via USB. I am not sure if there is a fix or whether you're gonna have to wait for a Software Update to be released by Apple.
BTW: I've always wondered whether this kind of solution gives you better audio out that using the analogue out (i.e. headphone port on the Mac Pro).
Obviously Toslink would be another option but I understand that you are not willing to spend money on hardware to do the same thing differently...
EDIT: Does that thing not have a Toslink input? May be worth a try if you have a 'cable' lying around for that (you'd need a 3.5mm optical adapter for that port though).

The output sound was somehow muted and grayed, so that I can't uncheck. Any idea how this happened or how i can undo it?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:

You could try resetting the PRAM and see if that helps.

After installing Mountain Lion. Under sound, where it says select an output device, it say no output devices found and there is no sound. How do I fix this? I have reinstalled the os twice and still the same. I have also repaired permissions.

USB (Mega stick), sound output and PS2 problems

==USB problem==
The MSI MEGA STICK do not work with the MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR.
When you plug it, its recognized, you can write on the MEGA STICK, delete files but cannot READ from MEGA STICK. It freezes while display "reading". I have tried on lots of PCs. Only my MSI motherboard do not work properly. The same problem with my 2 MEGA STICK. And i had tried Windows XP and Linux. Same problem. Others USB devices works fine. Even card readers...
==PS2==
My optical wireless mouse do not works properly. When i turns on the computer, it works ok. If i restart, do not work. Restart again, works. And go on... Only this mouse. Others MB works fine.
==Sound Output==
And also with my sound output. The eletrical one (coaxial).
It do not work with my 5.1 home system. It works fine with my old SB Live. It gets worse when i use my tv output from my Radeon 9100. It only works SOMETIMES when the tv output is not plugged in.
Thanks to all that could help me.

Mega stick.
have you updated the firmware ?
No. It Freezes before being able to update. Also the update do not tell about solving this problem
"Firmware version: 2.05
Update items
1. Improve delete MP3 and voice files function.
2. Fix device will restart while forward/backward Voice file."
you do know that windows xp does not come with usb2 drivers.
sp1 does and you have to install them yourself.
go to device manager and delete all usb entries and reboot and windows will install the usb2 drivers next time you boot.
if you get a slipstreamed version of xp you dont need to do this as it installed usb2 drivers rightaway.
slipstream means a xp disc with sp1 on it.
My XP cd is already SP1. Also tried on BIOS to use only USB 1.1V
PS2.
tried to use the other ps2 contact ?
No. Could i use the keyboard PS2 to plug the mouse?
SOUND.
this is not my area but it could be a good idea to post what the equipment is.
have you tried the latest drivers from http://www.nvidia.com ?[/quote]
Its a brazilian brend. You wont know. CCE. Its works fine with DVDs, my old SB Live! and others. Only with my K7N2 do not work properly. Its an AC3 decoder. The problem gets worse when i use the Radeon 9100 tv out.
Look like the problem on this thread.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=29572&sid=&hilightuser=26427
This is my old thread. Never solved. :-(
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?sid=&postid=319195#post319195
When i updated the BIOS, it got even worse. Not even with the tv output unplugged it never worked anymore...
Its very disapointed to buy an expensive MB and realized that it do not work properly...
Thanks yo your help.

No Sound Output options - and no sound - when in Native OS 9

Hi,
on my MDD G4 (the last one, single 1.25GHz G4), I have no sound output option in the Sound Control Panel, when started in native OS9. As a result I cannot increase the volume above 'mute' and hence have no sound at all. Extensions-off makes no difference.
In Mac OS X, all variants I've tried, I have perfectly normal sound. In Classic mode too, sound works (but I can't use the Sound CDEV obviously).
Is there a special driver (Sound Manager vXXX?) required for this machine or what? The Sound Manager which it does have, which is shown during startup, is not crossed out.
Thanks for all suggestions!
Cheers, A.

Yes, that was my suspicion actually, because I am quite sure that I am NOT using the correct OS. I bought the MDD second hand, and it didn't come with OS9 disks. I tried installing a retail OS 9.2 system, the installer told me No, not on this Mac. Even weirder, when I copied someone else's OS9 disk, which was allegedly from a MDD also, I was also told by the installer No, I don't work with this hardware. I guess that the disk I got was from an earlier MDD (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP63), not the 1.25GHz later one (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP106), though I don't know what actual hardware differences there are.
I eventually just copied the system folder from my Yikes 400 G4, updated it in Classic mode to 9.2.2, then restarted in native OS9 and wow, it worked. Except for the graphics card, drivers for which were a nightmare to track down. ATI has somehow removed all OS9 drivers from the entire internet (yeah, who'd have thought that that was possible!). Again, eventually I found someone who had hoarded the ATI Retail Driver Installer from October 2002 and he kindly let me copy it and then yay I had graphics acceleration. (Even the Finder was awful to use without it).
Chances of finding a machine-specific installer disk for THIS particular mac are very small I suspect.
Cheers, A.
