No Subwoofer during games or music, but audio heard on it during speaker test...

Hi all,
I really hope someone can help me with my problem. I recently purchased a Yamaha A/V Receiver that has a Multi-Channel Input (Model: HTR-5835). I have an Audigy 2zs gamer card and I am running three Mini (3 pole) to RCA adapters into the three seperate channels on the multi channel input.
I assume all the speakers are set up correctly because during both the Receiver's AND the THX control panel speaker tests I could heard audible noise coming from my subwoofer. I can also set the receiver to tuner and listen to the radio with the subwoofer.
I have CMSS turned on and I have listened to MP3's through winamp and WMP and there was no subwoofer, but all other channels (including center) worked fine. I also tried playing BF942, WoW, guild Wars and Doom 3 with no subwoofer sound at all.
Does anyone have any ideas or a solution to figuing out this issue? I have been wracking my brains and searching the net for 3 days to no avail.
Thank you.

It's in Bass Management section of the Speaker Settings. Bass Boost will be greyed out with 5.1/6.1 or 7.1 speakers as it is meant for 2.1 and 4.1 systems.

It should be possible to get a decent output from the sub when using the bass redirection. This will give you 5.1 when upmixing with CMSS or playing games and 2.1 with stereo sources. If your sub can't amplify the signal enough, you may need to put a small preamp in between the soundcard and receiver to boost it. You could make one yourself if you're into electronics, there will probably be lots of preamp circuit diagrams on the web. DWH explains why the sub output is lower than the rest here:

You could also go for a more expensive fix, which would be to use a crosover like this one in between the soundcard and receiver:

  • I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.

    Recurring theme with the 4s losing alerts except for the phone ringing.  Most complaints seem to center on the 7.1 upgrade.  The fix is dodgy, putting in a charger, playing a you tube video then pulling out the charger and wiggling it until you get the sound back.  When you get the sound back, the volume buttons start to work again.  Alternate solutions involve cleaning the docking port with a toothbrush, running a pick over the electrodes etc.

  • Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect; status bar looks good. But audio always comes out the speaker. Thx.

    Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect as expected (with a PIN); status bar looks good and shows Bluetooth active, and I even see the iPhone displays the battery levels of the wireless earbuds. But audio always comes out the speaker. (If I plug in wired headphones into the headphone jack then audio comes into the wired headphones, as expected.) I have rebooted the iPhone; I have had it forget about the wireless earbuds, and repaired and reconnected; I have reset all network settings. Thx in advance.
    PS: I understand that more recent versions of iOS have a way to choose where audio output goes (speaker, headphone jack, Bluetooth device). Does this older version of iOS? I could not find an option or setting.

    I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
    What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.

  • Why doesn't the music, but audio is works fine, in iMovie'11?

    I recently opened up a project I was working on in iMovie '11. The music I had recently added wasn't working because it said it couldn't locate the original file.
    I reloaded the music and started adding it to the project, deleting the music that wasn't working as I went along. The new music worked for a couple of minutes, but now it isn't working at all. Nothing plays, whether in the playback mode or through scrolling. But when I scroll over the dialogue in the project, that is working...
    Any one know how I can fix this?

    Hi
    You are using a Non Destructive Video Editor - and to get this to work as it should - non of the raw-material can be moved at all.
    So if You are using material on external hard disks or USB-memories or Audio-CDs they all need to be there when working on the project.
    There is no Movie in Your project (no copies) but just a small text document pointing to Your raw-material and how it is to be played to be the Movie You are working on.
    I do a folder on my Mac where I put all extras Audio and photo files so they are in a specific location at 100% (no alias). Audio as .aiff 16-bit 48kHz (no .mp3, wma etc - but all converted to .aiff and photos as .jpg)
    From here I get it into my movie project - just to be sure that all is there if external hard disks, Audio-Cds etc are not connected.
    Audio from iTune is a chapter on it's own. I collect all needed audio into a new PlayList then BURN it out as an Audio-CD (.aiff not .mp3) then I use the files on this one.

  • Why is my picture freezing but audio continuing to play during playback off itunes?

    The tv show is playing fine and then the picture suddenly freezes but the audio continues to play.

    Seems like this is a new issue then. I've reset and restored and still doing it. Freezing about every10 minutes now. Was going to head to the Apple Store thinking it was an issue with mine. Hope this is resolved soon!

  • No audio heard from sequence during timeline playback

    I am a new user to PPro CS 5.5, just opening my first project.
    I have captured a few clips and brought them into the project. Previewing them in the source window, I see the video track play and hear the audio track.
    I moved one of the clips onto the timeline and attempted to view it. I see the video playing but no audio is heard.
    I opened the clip in Audition. the audio played there, no problem
    I am sure there must be a configuration parameter to set but I cannot find it.
    Can someone suggest where I can look?
    Thank you

    Examining the source window playback settings, I see that realtime Playback has no external device selected in the drop down and Desktop audio is selected with the button. External Device is grayed out.
    With these settings, I hear the audio track.
    Examining the editing window playback settings, I see something very different.
    The menu box is titled Blackmagic playback settings.
    The only option entry in the menu box is: a choiceto "Turn off Dropped frame Warning"
    I have a Blackmagic Intensity Pro card installed on my PC and used it to capture my video clip on mini-DV tape played from my Sony GV-HD700 videocasette.
    Why am I seeing this BM menu reference only on the editing window? Is this the indication of my problem?
    I went back to defining another sequence and the menu choice opened with the same path, as my previous first time at this, to a Blackmagic selection. I changed to a HDV 1080i selection for this 2nd sequence. When I dropped the clip into the 2nd sequence, presto, the sound was there.
    Now I am wondering what is the blackmagic option for?
    What is the difference between the source and editing window parameters?
    That is left to when I have more time to dig into it.
    Thanks again

  • I connect my mic with an M-audio mobile pre usb device.  When I try to record, I can see that my voice is recording but can't hear it during playback.

    I connect my mic with an M-audio mobile pre usb device.  When I try to record, I can see that my voice is recording but can't hear it during playback.  I tried different input and output settings but it didn't help.  Any help will be appreciated.

    Hear your microphone or instrument as you play and record (monitoring)
    You can hear, or monitor, input from an instrument or microphone in GarageBand while you play and record. When you turn on monitoring for a track, you hear the musical instrument or microphone connected to the track’s input. Monitoring lets you hear yourself play so that you can hear the part you want to record as well as the rest of the project.
    You can turn on monitoring for a Real Instrument track or Electric Guitartrack from the track’s header, or in the Track Info pane. Electric Guitar tracks always show their monitoring buttons, and you can show monitoring buttons for Real Instrument tracks using a menu command. You can use monitoring with feedback protection to avoid feedback while you play.
    Hide
    To turn on monitoring in the track header:
    Choose Track > “Show Monitoring for Real Instrument Tracks.”Monitor buttons appear in the headers of Real Instrument tracks. On tracks with monitoring turned on, the button lights yellow.
    Click the Monitor button in the header of the track you want to use.
    HideTo turn on monitoring in the Track Info pane:
    Double-click the header of the Real Instrument or Electric Guitar track you want to turn on monitoring for.The Track Info pane opens.
    From the Monitor pop-up menu, choose one of the following:
    Choose Off to turn off monitoring. You can hear your instrument only while you record.
    Choose On to turn on monitoring and protect against feedback.
    Choose On (no feedback protection) to turn on monitoring without feedback protection. If the input level is too high, it may cause feedback (especially if you are using a microphone and listening to your project through your computer speakers).
    For an Electric Guitar track, you can view the Monitor pop-up menu by clicking Edit, and then clicking the back side of the amp. The Monitor pop-up menu appears with the input controls below the stage.
    You should usually turn off monitoring when you are not playing or singing. When monitoring is turned on, your computer can pick up output from your speakers or monitors, causing unwanted feedback. Using headphones rather than speakers to listen to your projects can help eliminate feedback.
    If you select your computer’s built-in microphone as the audio input, in the Audio/MIDI pane of GarageBand preferences, monitoring is turned off for all Electric Guitar tracks to avoid unwanted noise.

  • Is there a way to remove only parts of audio in a clip (remove music but keep voiceover)

    I've been given a promotional video to edit, with a voiceover and background music. The file I have is an MP4 file, and I do not have the separate pieces of the file (Video, audio, and music).
    Is there a way to remove the music but keep the voiceover? I doubt there is..
    Thanks

    If the voiceover is in a narrow range of frequencies you might get lucky. You can use the Graphic Equalizer to reduce the volume of all frequencies except those that the voice is using. There may still be some music in these frequencies as well, but it is worth a try.
    Select your clip and open the inspector to the Audio Tab. Under Audio Enhancements, you will see the word "Equalization". Over to the right you will see a small icon of a graphic equalizer. Click this and it will open the Graphic Equalizer.
    That will bring up the Graphic Equalizer window. You can set the Graphic Equalizer to display 10 bands of frequencies or 31 bands. Choosing 31 bands will give you more control.
    There are probably many other things you could try, since you have access to all the Logic Pro X synthesizers in FCPX, but that is the most straightforward.

    - You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost.  See:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    - You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup.  However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music.  You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

    Please help

    Honestly, these are WAGs but they're all that I can think of.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Apple TV2 airplay audio (via Airport Express) works well with music, but won't work with any video.

    I have an ATV2 and Airport Express connected to speakers all connected to the same network. It all works with music, but won't work with any video audio. In my ATV's settings I've selected my AirPort Express speakers. It works for music, why not everything else? Is there a fix or work around?

    Netflix is first on that list...What I mean is, if there is a feature that allows for a wireless audio connection to the Apple TV, why wouldn't the developer allow it. To keep me from enjoying a more convient connection? I can have the same listening experience on a wired connection...

  • HT1296 My daughter has an Ipod touch 3.1.3. I know it's old but she doesn't need it for much more than games and music. Does anyone know how or if I can update the Ipod 3.1.3 or is it too old? Thanks!

    My daughter has an Ipod touch 3.1.3. I know it's old but she doesn't use it for anything except games and music. Does anyone know how or if I can update this device or is it just too old?
    THanks!

    A first generation iPod touch can't be updated past 3.1.3. If it's a newer model, update it from iTunes on a computer, and if possible, the one it normally syncs with.

  • Game volume okay, but music is almost unhearable.

    Game volume okay, but music is almost unhearable. I have a problem with my XFI sound card in windows 7 when gaming.
    I own a XFI titanium PCI-E
    My OS is windows 7 64-bi home preium
    The problem is, when I play games the music whether its ingame music or music in the background with WMP goes real low. The car, gunshots, explosions, enviroment volume of the the game or ambedient? volume of the game is normal. Its always the music that gets drowned out for some reason.
    I am using 2.7.008 in default gamer mode with headphones, but my setting is on 2. speakers.
    I hope there is a fix for this, because it annoying turning the gunshots to high by volume just so I can hear the drowned out music that is playing either thru the game or in background with WMP. Outside of games with WMP open the music plays normal. Start a game run WMP in the background and the music goes extremely low.

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound. Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If it's not that then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have transferred all my music from iTunes onto my USB to play on my car audio radio. The radio reads the music but does not play it in sequence. There is a specific way to save the music into folders and name them. I have a Pioneer DEH-2350UBSW.

    I have transferred all my music from iTunes onto my USB to play on my car radio. The radio reads the music but does not play it in sequence. So it plays certain folders, then it skips folders. in certain folders it skips tracks. apparently there is a specific way to save the music into folders onto the USB with regard to naming the tracks and folders.. I have a Pioneer DEH-2350UBSW. Can anyone please help.

    It is a stick, Cruzer Blade 16gig.
    In the manual it says the following about the USB storage device:
    1. Playable folder hierarchy is up to 8 tiers
    2. Playable folders up to 500
    3. Playable files up to 15 000
    Under sequence of audio files it says that the user cannot assign folder numbers and specify playback sequences with this unit. It also gives an example of a hierarchy:
    01 - folder
    Under that is 02 which is also a folder
    Under that are compressed audio files 01 to 05: folder number
    Under that there is another folder same concept as above - I have attached that part of the manual in this response.
    I named my folder - Folder 001 Artists name and then in that folder I added the tracks as:
    001 Song title
    002 song title
    It played the 1st song in the folder and skipped to the next folder, I can't even locate the other tracks.
    On another folder I saved 31 songs but only 29 played so I am not sure whether there is a limit.
    All I need is an example of how to number and name everything.
