OS 10.4.11 and Audio Problem

I've just installed the update on my intel imac and now I have no audio - no audio in or out recognised in the preferences. The system profile still says that the inbuilt speakers/mic exist but preferences can't see them and the volume is greyed out.
Also, if I access the volume in the menu bar it just vanishes.
Has anyone else had this problem?

I too have been having problems. And they are getting worse.
Near as I can tell, the computer is messing with the internal/external speakers "switch". The 2.5mm jack port glows red intermittently, corresponding with the sound/no sound jumping. Since I have not touched my port in a few days, this is clearly not a physical switch problem.
Let's hope someone finds a fix, fast. I do not like having to spend scads of money on a new computer only to have it break faster than a PC in less than 15 months.

MIDI and Audio problems

1. The MIDI problem............the only way to explain this is by an example. I recorded something from my M-audio axiom keyboard, just something simple like a c major scale. Then i saved it reopened it then i played it back it now is a b major scale. If i open the matrix editor its still C but plays back in B and i must transpose it to make it normal. Never have i had this happen before. Has anyone else had this happen? How can i fix it?
Another MIDI problem is sometimes when i play back a MIDI performance it slows down and sounds like slow motion until it stops and says "sample rate 86672 recognized" i am at a loss on this one.
The Audio problem is simply that i get distortion in my recordings but none of my preamps clip. i can even have the gain half of what i would normally set it at, and it sounds distorted.
Any help would be great thanks
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Possibilities...
There's a (now common) bug that causes bogus data to appear in the Global Transpose track, all by itself, and if the data that got entered was "transpose -1", then your C-major scale will indeed play back in B. To investigate whether this is the cause, open your Global Track display and see if there's any transpose data written in there. If so, delete it and see if that changes the situation for the better.
Another common thing to happen, that's not a Logic bug, is that pitchbend data might get "stuck" at wheel=down. If Logic isn't set up to reset PB (check your MIDI prefs), then the PB data won't be corrected, and will stay "low" util you reset it manually, i.e., flinging the PB wheel/level to reset it to zero. This is probably the best explanation for why Logic will seem to "repair" itself when you reboot/relaunch, because usually upon reboot/relaunch Logic sends out reset messages for things like PB.
As to the sample rate thing, I take it that you're recording at 96K? Or maybe 88.2? If so, you have a clocking problem somewhere.

Bluetooth problem in ideapad s210 touch windows 8.1 and audio problem

Hi .. i have lenovo s 210
i have a problem with audio output, the sound is muted and it said that my bluetooth audio device can not be started. i download realtek High definition from the support system and the audio system start working again. But when i check the device manager the bluetooth problem still not fixed. It said i had a code 10 problem. I just recently update my windows to 8.1, but before there is no problem with the audio... and recently i find out that i can not use my bluetooth too. and all the bluetooth system seems doesn't work out
what should i do??
thanks

Actually, I solved this issue myself after a while.
I induced a system restore prior to the date when I began to experience this error.
It then happened once more, so I went to the "PC Settings" menu and selected "Update and recovery".
There were apparently updates to be installed, so I clicked "More details/information", and found that there were 3 Intel-related drivers that were listed, but for some reason, Windows 8 didn't automatically install them, so I checked each one of them and proceeded to install them and it has been smooth sailing for me ever since that.
SO.
A piece of advice for all those who have experienced the issue I detailed in my former post:
Check what updates need to be installed on your computer in the "PC Settings" app thing, and see if there are any driver-realted updates (like for your graphics card, especially).

USB and audio problem on a 975x P PU editon

Hello all,
I would like to say first off that this is my first build so please go a little easy on me. I am computer literate and i ave searched around trying to find the answers but for some reason they elude me. I am a Apple person at heart but when it comes right done to it windows is better for the HTPC side of things (not to mention the room mate agreed to pay for most of the computer). The specs are in the sig but if anything else is needed let me know.
I am having problems with the USB ports on the motherboard and the front of the case. I have the Antec P150 which has a connector for the front 2 USB prots. They are pinned out as follows:
pin 1: USB Power 1
pin 2: USB Power 2
pin 3: Negative Signal 1
pin 4: Negative Signal 2
pin 5: Positive Signal 1
pin 6: Positive Signal 2
pin 7: Ground 1
pin 8: Ground 2
pin 9: Key (no pin)
pin 10: Empty Pin
The motherboard is:
pin 1: VCC
pin 2: VCC
pin 3: USB0-
pin 4: USB1-
pin 5: USB0+
pin 6: USB1+
pin 7: Ground
pin 8: Ground
pin 9: Key (no pin)
pin 10: USBOC
Now the problem is kinda weird as the ports seems to work just fine if the USB thumb drive is plugged in, then i restart the computer. But if i start the computer up and then plug in the thumb drive i don't get any popup. In hardware manager it sees the thumb drive but it has a yellow "!".
The front Audio is somewhat the same way. I know the connection for the audio on the motherboard is HD and my front port are not. The pin setup for the case is:
pin 1: Mic
pin 2: Mic power
pin 3: Ground
pin 4: Front right
pin 5: Front left
pin 6: Rear right
pin 7: Rear left
On the motherboard it is:
pin 1: Analog port 1 - left channel
pin 2: Ground
pin 3: Analog port 1 - right channel
pin 4: Active low signal (unused for me i believe)
pin 5: Analog port 2 - right channel
pin 6: Jack detection return from front panel (jack 1)
pin 7: Jack detection senseline
pin 8: Connector Key
pin 9: Analong port 2 - left channel
pin 10: Jack detection return from front panel (jack 2)
They are connected like the ones here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103220.0.
Right now i have it connected and i can get audio from headphones plugged in but only from the left ear.
I believe I have the correct driver and stuff installed but if anyone has some suggestions please try to post instructions/links to instructions/or links to drivers you think i might need.
Thanks

For USB, do not connect the pin-10.
The audio is a tough one. The 10 pins on the motherboard actually only gives 2 ports. But your chassis has 3 ports. So no matter how you connect them, you only have 2 ports functional. Use the Realtek HD Audio Manager, sort of like the audio control panel. Enable the front ports, and start testing your speakers/mic and see if they work fine. I expect you to come back and tell us how to configure the pins later.
Thats the thing about the USB. I don't have a wire or anything going to the 10 pin. It seems like it should just be a matter of connecting the block and being done with it. I don't get why it is not working.
As for the audio. I will messa with it a little more but i don't really much care it is works or not. While it would be nice I don't really plan on using it.
Thanks
SOME EXTRA INFO: I have been messing around with this and it seems like my USB ports are not working at all. after booting up. As long as i have the USB thumb drive plugged in when i boot the computer i can see it (in the front or back panel) but as soon as i pull it out and try ot put it back in then that is when nothing happens.
So i guess it is not really a connection problem as the front USB do work but only when the thumb drive is plugged in when the computer is booted.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Flash Player 10 and audio problems

Hi all,
this is my first post here. I have a problem with the audio
of some videos in a website. The videos have been made with Flash
Slideshow Maker Professional. With Flash Player 9 everyhting is ok,
the audio is good (the source is mp3), but since I installed Flash
Player 10 it's impossible to listen to the audio. There are a lot
of gaps and rumours, the sound is discontinuous and "damaged".
Some suggestion?
Thanks

You should contact the developers of Flash Slideshow maker as
soon as possible. They'll need to address this inside their
product.

brings out more problem like slow in clicking buttons and overall
project speed. but when i change it to Event it works fine at the
same time i cannot do any audio synching and other audio relatted
ewordl....
Please hlp me/...

I am having a similar problem where flash audio loops plays again on the slide after the one with the flash swf. Like it's replaying the sound twice, looping is not turned on... I've had multiple problems with flash and captivate like the new CS4 3d transitions just make it go balistic.

Movies and Audio Problem - PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Hi,
If I am working on the music for a movie file i sometimes open a new project with no global tracks, so as i can focus on the music, when i then choose to open the movie and see what the music sounds like with the movie all is fine..... until i stop the movie. If the movie is not playing or doesnt have the volume slider raised high (on the movie window), no sound is heard when i press a key on my midi keyboard. This means i can only come up with ideas when the movie is playing. If i close the movie and/or the global tracks, the problem remains the same. I have to close logic an reopen it in order for me to hear any sounds (audio tracks and midi). Any advice or help would be great as this is really frustrating me. Thanks, Ben

I use Logic Plug ins and Korg/Steinberg plug ins. I have a multi instrument set up in my environment for an external Korg Trinity Keyboard. It is no longer connected as it was too difficult to control program changes etc and recording in audio takes too long for me. This many be the problem??? Maybe i could remove the multi and see if this helps. I am thinking of re-connecting the Korg to my computer but am not sure if it will cause more problems. Any advice? Thanks... Ben

Video and audio Problem

I have a 5g ipod 30 gig. Sometimes when I play video files, and then try to go back to the menu and select an audio file, both of the files will play. This results in a terrible sounding, distorted sound where I can here the audio from both the video and the song/audiobook. I mean that once I play the audio file, the video file resumes as well so I can hear the sound on both of them. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I send the ipod back to Apple and get it fixed/replaced. Thanks in advance for your help

Movie and audio problems on the classic

I just bought my first Ipod (a 160gb classic). I had a couple movies and a lot of music videos already on my hard drive, all of which I legally own. Some transferred to Itunes and some did not. My first question is how do I get the ones that didn't transfer to do so.
Secondly, of the ones in i-tunes almost all would not transfer to the ipod. (The message would read "this item was not copied because the audio format/file type is not supported by the Ipod 'administrator's ipod'"). I hit the "Advanced" and "Convert Selection for Ipod" options. Some transferred to my ipod okay while others still will not transfer, even though they were allegedly synced. Why?
And thirdly, of the ones that did transfer to my ipod, some are fine without any problems. But with others the video works okay but there is no audio. How do I fix that?
Any help that can be provided would be GREATLY appreciated.

And thirdly, of the ones that did transfer to my ipod, some are fine without any problems. But with others the video works okay but there is no audio. How do I fix that?
Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (both of which iTunes uses) does not convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

FCPX TIMELINE AND AUDIO PROBLEMS

The first clip I insert into the timeline always has a separate audio line and collapsing it into the main line is fruitless. Why is this so and is there a way of rectifying that?
A second problem is audio distortion. I keep getting distorted audio and can't rectify that either. Have reinstalled FCPX a couple of times to se if that succeeds but it doesn't. Will anyone help with these mysteries please?

AAre you using the open in timeline function? That's not how you put a clip into a project.
DO the meters show the audio in the red? Have you pulled down the level line on the clip in the timeline?

Please FIX, Apple : Macbook Multi-Touch BSOD and Audio Problem in Vista

Readers: The below message is sent to www.apple.com/feedback and to mac-related sites. If you encounter the same problem as I did, please reply and acknowledge the problems highlighted in this thread.
Dear Apple,
First of all, I would like to compliment you on delivering the excellent new MacBook Aluminum series. As someone converted from the PC camp (no less by your expensive and convincing "PC vs Mac" marketing campaigns) , I was delighted how great life is on the Macbook and Mac OS.
However, life on Vista/XP is another story altogether. While I love to do EVERYTHING on Mac, you have to admit there are a lot of times I have no choice but to do my computing on Windows (eg. gaming and many sites still support only IE). Below are the Vista "show-stoppers" i encountered while using Bootcamp/Vista.
Note, I do understand where Apple's priority is in terms of OS support, but the very fact is that you spent so much money converting PC users to Mac (mainstream advertisement and such) so I think you are obliged to meet the expectations you set. Also, many users like me are paying a premium over similarly-spec Windows notebook. So I think it's only right that as customers, we request that you fix these "show-stoppers" which make Macbook unusable under Vista ( which contradicts your advertisement marketing claims...else sooner or later, someone else will be frustrated enough by the issue to raise a class action lawsuit. Won't be me though cause that's too troublesome but it probably will convince me not to do make my desktop switch to iMac ).
1) Multi-Touch BSOD under Vista
I've consolidated some forum complaints below to illustrate how widespread this problem is. Frequently, the dreaded BSOD pops in out-of-the blue while I am not doing anything particularly complex on Vista. The same message always appear that the problem is caused by "applemtp.sys". This is with latest MTP drivers and even disabling the "Apple Multi-Touchpad Mouse" under Device Drivers. I am at a loss what to do here cause it seems that the only way out is not to use the touchpad in Windows !

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9273598&#9273598
2) Audio Crackling/Disappear
Again, I've consolidated some threads below.
Many users hear cracking noises under Vista, when playing MP3, streaming internet audio and gaming. My experience in gaming is that 80% of the time, the audio will be killed halfway in the game. I've got many titles(WoW, Battlefield 2, Last Remnant, COD 4..etc) so the problem is not confined to one title/publisher. Online research speculation believes that this is DPC-related issues due to Broadcom driver but I think the other part is also due to Keyboard Manager in Bootcamp. Even the audio driver itself may be an issue.

Password and audio problems after a fresh installation

I installed arch i686 on a friend's toshiba laptop. Now I list the problems I encountered:
1) - First of all, at the beginning of the installation process, i set a simple root password, a classic "123". Now when my friend wants to set his personal root password through the command "passwd", it requries at least 8 characters. Now my friend set an 8 characters password but he wants to set a password with only 4 charcaters.... How can he do?
2) - Evolution asks the old root password (the "123"), even if my friend changed it with a new 8 characters password.
3) - The audio seems to work fine but when he opens skype all is muted (even with alsamixer controls at hightest volume). Also if he closes skype the audio remains stll silent. So he needs to reboot to restore the normal situation.
If someone can interest here there is the result of lsmod|grep '^snd' command:
snd_seq_oss 29696 0
snd_seq_midi_event 6004 1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq 47856 4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device 6016 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_pcsp 9228 0
snd_pcm_oss 36832 0
snd_mixer_oss 14132 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_intel8x0 28080 1
snd_intel8x0m 13088 0
snd_ac97_codec 96696 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m
snd_pcm 66936 5 snd_pcsp,snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec
snd_timer 19132 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd 51108 13 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcsp,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer
snd_page_alloc 8124 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_pcm

1) just type it twice, "12341234". however, you should really set a proper root password instead and do daily work as a regular user with sudo access
2) maybe evolution isn't asking for root but for the gnome-keyring password, which you might have set to 123 earlier too?
3) sorry i don't use or skype or alsa

CPU and audio problems on 925XE

I have a 925XE mainboard with a Intel P550 3.4Gz.
The problem is that my CPU is recognized as a 3.4GHz but is running on 2.8GHz.
The mulitplier is set as 200x14 where it should be 200X17.
There is no place where i can change this in the BIOS.
Second problem is the front audio.
I have a 16-1 cardreader ,and there is also a mic and headset connection.
The connector is placed at the right way on the mainboard and in the BIOS the audio option is set to AC97 instead of Azalia but its not working.
On my Asus AA8 mainboard both problems mentioned above where no issue.
Does anyone have a (possible) solution for this? Because its pretty f***d up...
TIA

Quote from: Grayone on 08-April-05, 15:43:25
I am not familiar with the 925xe but do you have the bios version that is listed in this link? The board description mentions Azalia as being the sound chip. Have you tried the Azalia setting in bios to see if it cures your problem?
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=635&kind=1
Yes the CPU is on the list and i am running the latest BIOS(older versions didnt make a differance)
The CPU is recognized well but the actual speed isnt good, i am comming 600Mhz short
The Azalia setting isnt going to work at al because the pin headers ar different from the AC97 pin headers.
