Onboard Sound Detection in Flash

Hi all, i've taken a look at the computespectrum feature in flash, is there a method in flash that can enable detection from the input sound card itself?
Anyone care to share their experience here on that - or sound visualizations made in flash.
thx in advance...

Found it!!!!
It was in the Apple support forums; it was a bit hard to
find, but it works.
Some software installations reset the sampling rate for audio
output to a rate higher than is compatible with flash player.
Here's the fix:
Go to the Applications folder and then into the Utilities
folder (shortcut in the Finder Command-Shift-u). Open Audio MIDI
Setup. Change the output bitrate to 48K or 44.1K. Mine had somehow
been set to 98K. After changing it to a lower rate, sound works
just fine.
Again, this is a Mac OS X topic only.

Onboard sound not detected

ive pulled out my Sound Blaster (after i have uninstalled all drivers and software) and enabled the onboard sound card in the BIOS. (set it to "Auto" as there is no "enabled" option)
but it isnt detected by Windows? why? i dont have any other soundcard installed nor any drivers, so where is it?

no there wasnt any problems with FarCry and the Sound Blaster...
anyway, the problem is, it isnt detected at all! there is no trace of it in the device manager, nor anywhere else. when i put in the MSI drivers CD the soundcard drivers arent even listed! just the other enabled stuff like USB and so on. but no sound card! weird!
now i have formated my C drive, reinstalled Win2k and there it is! the onboard soundcard. played farcry with it, performance was even worse. one night wasted, lesson learned: onboard sound is bad for you!

K8T Neo-FIS2R onboard sound limitation?

Reading southmikes unofficial guide, it seems you can't use both onboard sound AND a PCI sound card (such as a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz).
Is this still correct with the 1.6 BIOS? I want to use the microphone input on the motherboard, but the the TBSC for output.

It was fixed with BIOS v1.3. I use an SB Live! and the onboard sound card, too.
It was not driver dependent, the BIOS disabled the sound card that is behind the ISA bridge.
How can I say that? ISA bridge? There ain't no stinking ISA slot on this mobo!
Look at this listing that I obtained under Linux, particularly the devices labelled
as 00:11.0 and 00:11.5.

K8TM-ILSR Onboard sound disabled

Hello all,
I recently got a new pc with the K8TM-ILSR. All works fine, except one thing. The onboard soundcard seems to disable as soon as I plug in a pci soundcard. I love having 2 soundcards, but I cant get it to work. The onboard sound is ofcourse enabled in the bios, and it gets detected as soon as I remove my pci soundcard, but when I plug it back in, it disappears. Are there any fixes for this? Help is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Paul

Its in the 3rd pci slot, also tried it in the 2nd slot, but no difference..,
Thanks anyway.

MSI RS480M2-IL onboard sound problem

Hello,
i bought a computer with the MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard and i'm having some problems with the onboard sound - i hear small interferences. Updated drivers and noise still continued. Took it to the store and they said they didn't detect anything wrong with the onboard soundcard or motherboard configuration. I ruled out electrical interferences because when i'm not listening to anything or playing, even with the sound at maximum, you don't hear the crackles. Also tried it with different sound system and they were still there. I have a friend that told me that the onboard sound is never clear. I have uploaded some files where you can hear the interferences. Do you think this is normal for an onboard card and if i want better, i should buy a soundcard or do you think they better exchange the motherboard? I read in some forums that the onboard sound of this motherboard crackles - i think the sound heard below can qualify as that and that i should buy a better soundcard to play my games, right? Thanks for your attention!

Edit: These are the drivers and versions of the audio (driver version wasn't updated yet in this pic)

Yes.....I saw that too. In my opinion, it an error in the description. The Realtek site has all the info on that a3.75 set. On your prior post you asked about install procedure. You're correct. Uninstall the old set using Add/Remove programs in Control Panel and run Setup on the new package to install.
FYI.....I'm on broadband connection and can EMail large files. If that new set fails, I could zip and Email you that old A3.67 set. However, it's over 14MB in size (I checked), so you need an EMail account that can accept that large an attachment. Let me know by Private Message in the Forum with EMail address. I'll be in and out the rest of the day, so I may not get a chance to send until later.
I'm also wondering if MSI has a server with legacy drivers that the moderators could check and provide link. Download would be much easier solution on everyone with this problem.
Let's see if the newest drivers work first.

Edit: Read this thread and it should make you feel better.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=80424.0
As you can see, I also encountered (along with others) the problem with the A3.72 set that's on your CD. At least it's fixable. Hang in there.

Onboard sound problems

Well, for some reason, after installing the Cmedia drivers off of MSI's website and installing them, my 5.1 sound is buggy. I'll be playing games (have only experienced it in games, although I'm not sure if it does it with normal music playing) and all of the sudden, the sound will just out for no reason.
It will work from the get go, but after a little bit of workin, it screws up.
Any ideas?

I think that you may need to un-install the C-Media and the onboard sound drivers first, reboot system, skip hardware detection and re-install C-Media + onboard sound drivers through the installation wizard of the program.

Unable to make microphone to work on NVIDIA MCP55 onboard sound card

Hello.
Some time ago, I bought a nice HP xw9400 Workstation (with Dual Core AMD Opteron 2216) from Germany. Despite it's starting to become old by today's standards for some stuff like gaming, it's still quite okay to use and the SAS HDD makes it boot fastly. And it has one of the best cases, you can plug PCI/PCIe/PCI-X cards very easily and it's very nice to change or add HDDs. Maybe I'll upgrade the CPUs (I can upgrade the bios and it seems it can support better CPUs) if I find them on eBay or other place.
I have less problems with Arch than the rest of distributions, but I still have weird issues. Despite my computer hardware is somewhat old, I still experience weird problems everywhere (it seems I have some kind of weird "luck").
I have problems using my microphone under Arch with "NVIDIA Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)" onboard sound card , here is the relevant info.

Sorry, that was wrong, I meant
arecord -l
Have you tried making a virtual loopback device like above and using
arecord -vv -fdat out.wav
You should see the #### fluctuate as you speak into the mic. If not, then unmute and turn up your mic in alsamixer. That loopback device will allow you to capture your sound card and hear it at the same time. Another way to do it is to use a jumper from line out to line in on your sound device. You won't be able to hear it while you record though.
If your sound device works, then you can capture what's going through it. You'll need to determine which vitual device your mic is.
Example
arecord -l

K7N2 Delta Onboard Sound Disable Question

I have a K7N2 Delta motherboard with a MSI FX5600 256MB DDR video card. I am currently using the onboard audio. Ever since I first built this computer I have been having nearly every game I play on it lock up and freeze. I am thinking that it is a sound issue that is causing this problem, so I want to install a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live. I have several questions that I hope someone can answer as I have exhausted all avenues and still don't have any answers. Here are my questions:
1. How do I disable the onboard sound? ie Which jumper is it and what are the
jumper settings?
2. Which PCI slot is recommended for installing the sound card so that I won't
any IRQ conflicts?
3. Is this actually an audio problem or is there something else wrong with this
motherboard or video card?
This is becoming very frustrating because when the computer locks up all I can do is just reset without shutting down. I'm becoming more and more worried that if this continues unabated I'm going to crash the hard drive and have to replace it only to have the problem persist. I hope someone can give me specific answers to my questions. Thank you in advance for your help.

First. Is it K7N2 Delta-L or Delta-ILSR (the one with an actual Soundstorm chip on it)? If you have the actual Soundstorm chip, use it! It will sound much better than an SBLive. Assuming you have the normal K7N2 Delta-L like I have:
1. To disable the onboard sound, first uninstall the drivers for it, then you need to go into the BIOS by holding the Delete key while you boot up. Then find the section "Integrated Peripherals" and in that section "Onboard Devices". Press Enter and find AC97 Audio and disable it. There are no jumpers.
2. PCI slots 1, 2 and 3 are usually not shared with other stuff like you AGP or USB ports. PCI Slot 3 is the ideal choice. 1 is usually covered by your video card fan anyway. For the SBLive, on Windows XP/2000, get the newest drivers from Creative Labs. The file is named "LiveDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe" and it's file size is 23.3 MB (24,451,404 bytes). They have fixed the "nforce2 + gameport incompatibility".
3. The problem may be audio related...or not. Which drivers are/were you using for your onboard audio? nvidia or Realtek? Actual Soundstorm chip or crappy software codec? It could also be video card related. Fastwrites? 8x or 4x AGP?

I'm at a loss with the onboard sound

I can't get my 6 5.1 speakers to work on mt KT4 Ultra board, so I'm considering putting my Sound Blaster back in and disabling the onboard sound. What kind of a performance hit will I take?
I can get the fronts to work, or the rears to work but not all six. I have tried everything I can think of.
Thanks,
Al

Hi,
Have you set up the C-Media drivers for 5.1/6.1 sound? The settings for each speaker configuration can be found if you double-click the c-media icon next to the clock and select the settings button. Note how the plug configuration changes if you change the type of speakers.
I found that the 6.1 configuration with the headphone(?) option ticked makes all my 5.1 speakers work ok. I'm not saying I haven't got any sound problems but at least they all work.
I've also found that individual apps also need to be setup for the better speakers as well. PowerDVD needs to have the setting specifically set or the sounds all over the place.
Hope this helps

Will not boot after disabling onboard sound

I am trying to install an SB Audigy2 ZS sound card but each time I disable the onboard sound card, I cannot boot my system. It will not boot to CD either. I have tried disabling with SB Audigy2 ZS card installed and without the card installed. I am using the third PCI slot since the video card uses the first slot's space.
I tried it without 2 of my hard drives in case I was running low on power, but still will not boot.
Any ideas?

i have the newer mobo and also have audigy zs it install just right for me but i have it in pci slot 4 (the last one on my mobo) your manual of your mobo will tell you which pci share the same irq ..but when i had your version of mobo i still had it in slot 4 so try pci 4 or 5 to see if that resolves your problem it souds like your video card and sound card are tying to share the same irq which is a big no no

How do I disable the onboard sound in CMOS?

I have a KT4 Ultra, and I want to disable the onboard sound so I can use my own Soundblaster card. How do I do this? I've looked through the BIOS, and nothing seems to stand out. Do I have to do it on the board itself?

I just downloaded the KT4 Ultra book and will run you thorugh what you have to do....
Your board has "C-Media 8738MX 6-channel audio with SPDIF out" so you will have to disabled it in Bios if you want to use a PCI sound card.
1. Reboot your PC and press "DELETE" to enter Bios.
2. Select "Integrated Peripherals"
3. Scroll down until you see "OnBoard PCI Controller" and then "Audio Controller". (It's last on the list!).
4. Select "DISABLED"
5. Select "SAVE & EXIT SETUP".
6. Turn off your PC.
7. Put your new PCI Sound Card in...I recommend PCI Slots 2-5. Try to keep PCI 1 and 6 clear....
8. Reboot. Your OS will go into "FOUND NEW HARDWARE". Wait until it's done.
9. Put your new PCI Sound card driver CD in and load the new drivers....REBOOT.

How do I disable the onboard Sound card in BIOS on the Equium A200

I am using a Creative Sound Blaster external soundcard but the recording level is very low and have been advised by Creative to disable the onboard sound card in BIOS but there is no option to do this. Can anyone help ?

Hi
You cannot disable it in the BIOS.
If you want to disable the sound card you can do this in the device manager!
cheers

[Solved] Conflict: ATI Radeon HDMI vs onboard sound crashes PulseAudio

Firstly, please excuse my ignorance about audio issues!
I have a mate running Arch who has an ATI Radeon HD5450 graphics card (using radeon driver) and onboard sound also. He doesn't want to use the graphics card for audio purposes at all. He's getting (seemingly) random switches between PulseAudio thinking its default audio sink is the onboard sound and the graphics card. When the latter happens, PulseAudio crashes out.
(Tried setting the kernel boot parameter 'radeon.audio=1' to try and make the HDMI audio work, but to no avail. Though card is in radeon driver matrix saying HDMI audio feature should work with this card.)
Issuing these commands usually gets things up and running again:
pulseaudio --start && pacmd set-default-sink alsa_output.xxxxx.analog-stereo
where alsa_output.xxxxx.analog-stereo is the appropriate string from the 'Default Sink' line of the ouput from the command:
pactl stat
Tried switching the HDMI input/output off using pavucontrol but after an indeterminate time it creeps back and kills off PulseAudio.
Can the graphics card be blacklisted as a soundcard by PulseAudio or Alsa in some way?
Any ideas to resolve this most welcome!
PS: Had a look through the Arch Wiki on PulseAudio and it helped quite a bit with understanding pactl and pacmd commands.
Edit @29/01/14: Problem solved - by going deeper to kernel level!

If both devices use the same module then we can use the *enable* parameter from snd-hda-intel module, it's an array of booleans that can enable/disable the desired sound card [put in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf]:
e.g
options snd-hda-intel enable=1,0
Useful commands to check situation:
cat /proc/asound/cards
cat /proc/asound/modules
aplay -l

Hi there!
If you're using the latest kernel spin (3.13), you don't have to really put that kernel parameter in your bootloader config anymore because it's enabled by default already. Which DE are you using? GNOME, GNOME Flashback, Cinnamon and Unity have all integrated with pulseaudio and no extra configuration is needed. If you're using Xfce, LXDE, KDE or any other WM/DE, you'll have to install pulseaudio-alsa and alsa-utils to get it working. That made my HDMI audio work out of the box on my ancient KDE session with the open source driver.
I hope this helps!
Best of Luck
Hi,
okay I just removed the kernel option, thanks for the advice!
I'm using xfce and I already had installed pulseaudio-alsa and alsa-utils, anyway the strange thing is that before switching to headphones (on the other card) it worked, but now it seems that is dead...
Thank you for helping!

2 sounds in a flash movie

hello, i have 2 sounds in a flash movie, music and narration.
I have this script in frame 1 for narration sound:
_root.my_sound = new Sound();
_root.my_sound.attachSound("antedespacho");
_root.my_sound.start();
and i have a MC, in frame 1 of movie, and inside, in layer 1
this script for the music:
_root.fondo = new Sound();
_root.fondo.attachSound("musica");
_root.fondo.setVolume(0); -- every 5 frames i change the
volume for make fade in ;)
_root.fondo.start(0,99);
I have 2 buttons in main timeline for start/stop narration,
but when i stop the narration, the music stop. Where is the
problem??
This is the script of the button:
on (release) {
_root.donde = (_root.my_sound.position);
_root.my_sound.stop();
Thanks in advance.

You must attach the sounds to separate movie clips. Then you
can control them separately:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("despacho_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
my_sound = new Sound(despacho_mc);
my_sound.attachSound("antedespacho");
my_sound.start(0,1);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("musica_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
fondo = new Sound(musica_mc);
fondo.attachSound("musica");
fondo.setVolume(0);
fondo.start(0,99);
and here's a handy script to automate your sound fade-in:
var tuneVol:Number = 0;
musica_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (tuneVol>=100) {
tuneVol = 100;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
} else {
tuneVol += 10;
fondo.setVolume(tuneVol);
