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.

When I stream music from my MacBook to speakers via airport sound stutters on and off. When I do so from iPhone all is fine. Can't seem to find any settings to change Tried to shut off firewall but settings will not let me. All software up to date.

2. not that I know of
been looking for something a bit like it got an old ipod thouch in a audio dock in the kitchen and want to give it access to all my music not just play what is synced
so far my only options is to get an app to use upnp to get the music directly from my nas
or get some app which require the computer to be running and running some program to handle it
and as far as I can tell getting access to stuff synced on the atv is a no go

I can get no sound out of my computer and the only sound output option I see is for headphones. Is that righ or is there something wong?

When I go to Settings and Sound the only Output option for me to select is Headphones. I'm pretty sure there should be other options. Problem? Ideas?

Other options pop-up when you connect devices to the Audio-Out port, like external speakers.

The choice of headphone jack is not showing up under the system preferences - sound output options. Therefor, my speakers suddenly do not work with my iMac

On my Intel based iMac, OS 10.6.8, my speakers suddenly were not transmitting sound. When I checked the System Preferences, Sound output, the headphone option was no longer available. This has always worked in the past - what is up?
Anyone have any suggestions???
Ellen

Applications > Utilities > AudioMIDI Setup.app
Audio Devices window
Side Bar
Click the Built-in Output.
Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so uncheck it.
Plug in the headphone and check whether in the output headphone shows up in the same panel.
If so, you can adjust the volume there.
Reset SMC and PRAM.

Sound output option is missing in preferences

I'm probably doing something stupid, but iChat works fine for "chatting" but when I want to talk it doesn't work. In the video tab of the iChat preferences the option "sound output" is missing, while I can select the internal microphone of my MacBook Pro... iTunes plays perfectly though the internal speaker though!
any ideas?
Wim

Hi,
I am not sure what you are asking ?
If you only have internal speakers iChat will select them.
In Actually System preferences > Sound > Output tab selects them as the only option.
iChat only shows a Drop down for Sound output if you actually have a choice.

PB G4: Sound output inconsistent and backup battery dead. AppleCare covers?

I have a PowerBook G4 that a got a few months ago brand new -- I am the original owner. It came with AppleCare as part of a package.
From the very beginning, the sound output plug hasn't worked right consistently. If I plug in headphones or speakers, usually only one channel will play; if I jiggle the plug delicately, often (but not always) I can get both channels to play right. But If I even touch the cord, I lose one of the channels again. But the built-in speakers work fine, both channels. The problem is with the output to the headphones.
I tried peering into the sound outlet hole with a mini-flashlight and a magnifying glass, but it looked perfectly fine in there. I tried a variety of headphones and speakers, but the problem is the same with all of them.
I didn't mind too much at first, because I wasn't using the PB for sound, but recently I have been editing videos on it, and the sound flaw is becoming a major problem.
Unrelated to that: the backup battery (that maintains memory when the main battery runs out, if you're not plugged into to AC) is completely shot: no charge whatsoever. I've have other PBs in the past but I've never seen a backup battery run out of juice so quickly -- usually it takes years. I've only had this computer a few months. If I'm not plugged into AC, and I ignore the "You are getting low on power" warning, and then the main battery runs out, and the PB is supposed to go to sleep powered by the backup battery. But instead it just goes off. When I re-plug it back in, I have to restart. I rarely ever do this, but the last two times it has happened -- no sleep, just off.
My question is this: are either or both of these problems covered by my AppleCare plan? The sound problem was this way from the beginning. I've never used AppleCare -- how does it work? Do I have to mail my computer somewhere for it to be fixed? Or can I take to a Apple certified dealer (I live not far from an Apple Store). I'm really hesitant about giving up my computer for a long time just for these non-critical repairs.
Thanks.

[Solved] No Sound Output Listed in Gnome Sound Settings

Hi,
Just recently installed Arch and installed Gnome-Shell. I have no sound at all and there is no devices listed in the output tab of the sound settings in Gnome Settings.
I can change volume but of course there is no sound.
Any help on how to diagnose and fix this would be appreciated.

I have added this to ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.dsp {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
but to no avail. I have also installed paprefs and my sound card isn't listed, only the HDMI output which I don't use. I also tried this:
Using paprefs, simply select "Add virtual output device for simultaneous output on all local sound cards" from under the "Simultaneous Output" tab. Then, under GNOME's "sound settings", select the simultaneous output you have just created.
Nothing.
I also tried the verbose option too with the same result.

Satellite M300: Low sound microphone levels and crackle sound using Skype

Brand new machine, and tried to use Skype.
Low sound levels and a crackle through it.
Tried it in sound recorder, and low sound, but no crackle.
Can not get the sound levels up.
Driver for Conexant HD SmartAudio 221 shows as up to date (4.36.7.0)
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Do you use Toshiba factory settings? YES
Which OS do you use? VISTA
Do you have the same problem using headset? NO
I have narrowed it down a little more. It is only when I am connected to my wireless network. I can have Wi-Fi enabled, and connected to the internet via a mobile internet connection and there are no issues.
When I am connected via the router, I have this issue. You could say it is the router, however I have various other machines connected to the same router, without issue.
So, to clarify.
WiFi on - not connected to internet via router, however connect by other means - All ok
WiFi on - connected to the internet via router, issue.
Router is Thomson SpeedTouch 570

Use sound output hdmi and bluetooth at the same time?

Hi
Im using a Mac mini and its connected to my magnifier and then to my TV.
I just bought a new speaker that I placed in my kitchen. I would like to play the same music in the livingroom and in the kitchen at the same time, is it possible?
My speaker got bluetooth and AUX.
I tried using midi but it doesn't work, is it because of the hdmi?

Brian
Regarding the HDMI and Optical, yes they are both active, I have HDMI to TV and OA to soundbar, both work simultaneously and stand alone too.

Sound breaking up and loud sound spikes

Since the Iplayer update, the sound on my box is breaking up and giving very loud spikes whenever I change chamnnels/start iplayer etc. it seems to settle down after a while but when it happens it is VERY loud.
I am connected via HDMI to TV and optical to a Surround Sound system.
Also the menu response is very slow at times.
Anyone know any solutions (I don't want to phone Indian as I find them very patroniosing and basically useless!)

There have been reports of volume problems since the iplayer launch, some with very low volume compared to other sources and some with very loud volume when watching iplayer compared with ondemand/freeview
there is a thread here volume problems
have a look and see if it helps explain a bit about what is happening
also changing the audio from surround to stereo has helped some people but as you are using a surround system it might not be appropriate for you
you can change the setting in the following menu
BT Vision -> Settings -> General Settings -> Digital Audio Output

TS2771 Sound Effects Image and Not Sound

The sound bar slide bar go down automatically. I restore the Ipod and It doesnt work. What can I do?

If a restore to factory defaults doesn't resolve the issue, it's likely hardware related, in which case you'll want to schedule an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar to have them take a look at it and determine service/replacement options.

How to avoid output file and error lines when condition does not match

Hi Experts
A customer want to send purchase order files to several vendors and each vendor has their own requirement to content and file format. I have prepared scenarios for each vendor and a template is (conditionally) called when CardCode matches. It works fine, - PO file is generated when CardCode matches, but error lines are written to SAP B1 Control Center each time CardCode does not match the one defined in a scenario (100 or more times per day). Problem is that these error lines does not get automatic deleted. Conditional processing are made in this way:
Result Message in SAP B1 Control Center when CardCode does not match:
I tried to avoid an error line in SAP B1 Control Center when CardCode does not match in this way:
Then no error lines are written to SAP B1 Control Center, but an output file is generated each time (order file when CardCode matches and an empty file when CardCode does not match).
Any suggestions on how to avoid both errors types (error lines in SAP B1 Control Center and empty output files)?
Or - can lines in SAP B1 Control Center be automatic deleted?

Steen

Hi Steen,
using <b1im_skip> should be the right approach, if you're working with B1 OUTBOUND.
Following extract form the B1i help describes the usage to skip the outbound processing:
1.1 Skipping Outbound Processing
If you do not want to hand over the message to the receiver system, the scenario step can create a special tag that indicates to generic processing in the integration framework to skip the message processing.
Add the following to the final transformation atom (atom0):
<b1im_skip xmlns= ”” info=”my info” msglog=”true” msgout="yes">
If the integration framework skips the message, it puts the message log information to the Filtered section, if the message log is switched on. The result message contains the Message skipped by vBIU logic information.
info
To display an individual message, define it using the info attribute.
msglog
If you want to avoid an entry in the message log, introduce the msglog attribute and set it to false.
msgout
To display the skip information in the Success section of the message log, use the msgout attribute and set it to yes.
In case you don't want any MsgLogEntry in case of a skipped message, please enter the following in final atom0:
<xsl:template name="transform">
<xsl:attribute name="pltype">xml</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$msg/BOM/BO/Documents/row/CardCode='C20000'">

Lost special effects sounds from video and no sounds available to reload.

the special effect audio is no longer available to insert into the video.
one of the special effects audio I inserted is no longer playing.

Try doing a reset on the iPhone,
Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back.

Need to play and stop sound file with 1 ms resolution

Hi,
I'm trying to open a .wav file then later play it at a time when another parallel loop activates a boolean local variable which controls playback in my "sound" loop. I need high time resolution in stopping the playing of the .wav file, ~1ms. From what I've gathered, I can't use the "sound output write.vi" because it locks the loop until it finishes outputting a set number of samples. Because of this, "sound output stop.vi" has to wait until the next iteration, which is more than ~1 ms.
In the help menu of the Sound Ouput VIs it says you can set the task ID for the "sound output start.vi" using the "sound output configure.vi." Unfortunately I've only been able to use the "sound output start.vi" following "play sound file.vi", and I don't really know why this is the case.
I can't start my sound with the "play sound file.vi" because it locks the loop its in until it finishes playing the sound. Oddly this only happens when there is a parallel loop running, if I run it by itself, with no other loops, it doesn't lock the loop. I thought it might have something to do with the local variable, but the loop doesn't lock when the loop restarts the sound using the "sound output start.vi."
After opening a .wav file, can i use the "sound output configure.vi" to create a task ID for the "sound output start.vi" to work? Or do I have to use the "sound output write.vi" after calling the "sound output configure.vi." The help menu makes it seem like the prior suggestion is possible.
Thanks a lot!

Since it sounds like the problem you're running into is getting the data loaded from the file before you're ready to play it, look at the Files sub-palette, specifically the Sound File Read Simple VI. You can use this VI to load the data into a waveform and have it ready for use later in the program.
So in your overall program, read the file with Sound File Read Simple and configure the output with Sound Output Configure and call Sound Output Write when you're ready to play the waveform.

Sound output: Headphones option disappeared?

I have been using Logitech speakers plugged into the headphone jack of my iMac ever since I bought the thing. Now they are useless. The headphone option doesn't even appear in the sound output options. How can this be fixed? How can this happen?

Update on this: The Logitech speakers work fine on my PC. The Mac doesn't see them. Nothing wrong with the Mac's headphone jack -- plug in headphones, they work fine. Probably another glitch caused by a Mac OS X update.
