Play audio in Finder?
In OS 10.4, I could play an audio file in a column view Finder window. In 10.5, I only get some goofy generic icon. What happened? How can I get OS 10.5 to play audio files in the Finder window like 10.4 did? If there is no preference setting that will enable this, maybe someone knows of a plug-in that will restore this useful feature to the more "advanced" Leopard.
That opens a huge dark window much larger than the slim QuickTime window
So make it smaller. Click drag the bottom right corner.
so it is much less interesting to me than playing in the already open Finder window.
Select the item then in the last column with the info for that item, click the icon. I you move teh mouse over the icon, you should see a Play button (right pointing triangle).
Or as stated, much easier, press the Space bar.
QuickLook is designed so you can easily see what an item is without opening an application.
It displays just about anything. Emails, movies, text docs, pdfs, etc.
A Finder window will not let you read any text or see a movie to see specifically what the file is.
Back to my question: Does anyone know how to enable the Finder to play sound files instead of Quicklook?
After you select the item, click the icon in the last column.

Playing Audio Files in the Finder-any tips?
Something I've been meaning to ask for ages... and hopefully an easy one to answer!
When playing audio files in the Finder (in 10.5.8), it's really annoying when the file stops playing when you click on another window or application (or even just the Desktop). Is there any way around this?
Someone recommended Snapper, but it's the same story - file stops playing when you click on any other area. Is this problem confined to Leopard (ie. has it been fixed in Snow Leopard?) - never used to be like this in Tiger.
Some of us like to multi-task when listening to audio. The only solution I can see is importing the file into itunes. Any other suggestions?I assume you're talking about QuickLook?
That's not the Finder, that's QuickLook.
QuickLook is a function that can only work with the foremost selected item, and that makes sense, as you can, for example, QL a PDF within Mail.app, as well.
Why not just use column view (doesn't everybody?) and play it in the Preview pane at the right?
It will keep playing until you close the window or select another object within it.
I use QuickLook when I want to give an audio file a quick once-over - skip here and there, but for actually playing it through, I use the column view preview.

Trying to play audio in PDF files
I am trying to play audio within a PDF files but get the following error message:
Acrobat has encountered an error while playing this media clip:
Adobe's Windows build-in player cannot play this format as the required decoder is not installed on the system.
How can I install this required decoder?You're trying to play 'legacy' media which was depreciated a number of years ago for security reasons. It relies on some external player understanding how to open the file type, but Acrobat/Reader can only send the file across and hope that something will react, it cannot help you find the codecs you need.

My 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car worked fine with my old iphone. it charged and played audio. I bought both 30 pin to lighting (cable and adapter) from Apple store but it does not charge. It only play audio. I have verified that both adapter and cable are working fine. Is there anything to fix this?
Apple sells a 30 pin to lightning pin adapter - you can find it on the Apple on;line store - or Amazon sell 3rd party one - but if it didnt works with your 4S which also has a 30 pin input - there may be something else wrong

How do I play audio books in my car using USB cord?
Does the sound system on your car have a usb input? If so connect your iPhone to the radio with your cable and play the audio book on your phone. Note that your vehicle needs to be able to accept audio input through thr USB port and not just provide a charging circuit. Check your vehicle's manual if you are not sure.

Problem with playing audio data using Real Player
i've seen the intruction for playing video data (.rm) using real player and it works. Then i tried to play audio data (.wav, .dat, .mp3) with real player, but it didn't work.
These are some codes i've wrote:
------------------------------------------- BEGIN PL/SQL CODES---------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE SONGS

Audio ordsys.ordaudio
create or replace procedure load_audio(id integer, filename in varchar2) as

ctx RAW(4000) := NULL;
begin
INSERT INTO SONGS VALUES(ID,
ORDSYS.ORDAudio.init());
SELECT audio into obj from Songs
where item_id = id FOR UPDATE;
obj.setSource('FILE','AUDIODIR', filename);
Obj.setDescription('A movie trailer');
Obj.setMimeType('audio/x-pn-realaudio');
Obj.setFormat('Real Media File Format');
obj.import(ctx);

COMMIT;
END;
show errors;
truncate table songs;

then in the real player, i tried some urls :
http://david:88/ramgen/dbaudio/1 --> it didn't work, it was said invalid path
http://david:88/ramgen/dbaudio/2 ----> it didn't work, it was said invalid path
http://david:88/ramgen/dbaudio/3 ----> it didn't work, it was said invalid path
http://david:88/ramgen/dbaudio/4 ----> it worked
did i put a wrong url?
does the http://..../ramgen/... path is just for ram file?
can anyone show me the way to play audio data using real player?
Thanx before.Yes, realserver expects an exact mimetype.
to make matters worse, it expects audio/x-pn-realaudio (an audio mimetype) for video!?!?!
Seems the code inside maps multiple file extensions to some mime type. Only one is allowed.
I have used the unix strings commands in teh plugins directory to find the exact mime type realserver is expecting. The file format plugins have this information in them.

10.1.3 crashing and not playing audio
I updated to 10.1.3 on my new 6 core mac pro. now having problems. I can't play anything in my preview window. I hit play, the k,j,l keys and still get nothing. I can scrub through the clip in the bin, but it won't play audio or video. I have to drag the clip to the timeline then edit or play from there.
when I try to switch clip views from list to filmstrip view FCP crashes.
I can't edit or view clips. What is going on?Hi
A decision was taken to remove that functionality, a new desktop tool to build reports is not far off ... I know, I know but what about now !
with 10.1.3.2 you can build the extract portion of the report in your browser, then using the BI Publisher > Login on the new Word plugin you can log in to the server, find your report, create a new template, test it and then upload it back to the server from word avoiding the web interface entirely.
This should be in the help for th new builder?

Why do my old QT files only play audio on QT X on Lion system
I have some old NTSC (DV/DVCPRO) videos that play well on my old Leopard system but on my new Lion Macbook Pro, only the audio will play. The video will play from within Finder but when I double click and it launches QT, QT behaves as if its only an audio file. This is true when I try to import into Final Cut X. Final Cut shows it as an audio file BUT 2 of the files DO show video. These are all 720x480 video dumps. So 7 files show as audio files and 2 work correctly. And all work fine under Quicktime 7.7 under Leopard 10.5.8.
Please disregard this posting. I took the old file and ran it thru compressor in a 422 format and now everything works fine and only took about 10 minutes per hour of video. I don't know how to cancel a request and I'm really pressed for time. Thank you.

}Thank u Thompson For your kind reply. I got the problem solved. It was the the problem of Untrusted Applet as u said.Now i Have signed my applet and this appletplayer plays audio only from the server from where this applet comes and from the localmachine also.Now it is playing fine from the server.
But i have another problem , If i am asking that in the wrong forum plz forgive, I will ask it it in applet forum also.
Problem is , I have implemented a joystick with this player. The idea is to combine this player with a text editor so that user can hear audio at the same time he can type in the editor what he hear and he can rewind and forward using joystick(It is actually a footswitch controller) with his leg. This driver i got from Source forgenet works fine in my localmachine and localnetwork also.But i have to install .DLL file in every client machine. This should be avoided.When a client having no jmf and joystick in his machine tries to run this applet through the browser the required Joystick driver and jmf must be installed in client computer also.
By signing the applet and using ARCHIVE keyword i think jmf part will be ok but what about joystick driver.How i could install it in client machine.Playerapplet throws jjstck.dll not found exception
plz guide me

So I cannot play songs on my iPod but the audio on my movies are working fine. Does anyone else have this problem or do you know what's wrong?
Hi!
I created a new thread about this as I was thinking one should not pick up a Solved thread, but it was shut down and deleted as I was breaking policy rules.... sorry about that. I will just unsolve this thread and pick it up again:
I continue to get an error with playing audio that says in Exaile "playsinkX" where X is a number starting with 0 and increasing with one for every time I try to play a audio file,
and in Xnoise "GstError parsed: configured audiosink audiobin is not working." VLC works fine however.
I have the latest gstreamer0.10-plugins installed.
If I keep on rebooting, one time now and then it works, but I cannot seem to find a solution to what makes it work or not. -

void Play(unsigned long long from = 0, unsigned long long length = -1, bool move_start_point_too = true);
//Plays audio from the value of the 'from' parameter along the value of the 'length' parameter and sets the now_playing member to true.
//Playback point is pushed to the value of the 'from' parameter, and break point is pushed to the result of from + length.
//If move_start_point_too parameter is true, then also start point is pushed where playback point is pushed too (to the value of the 'from' parameter).
//Also the value of the 'from' parameter is an absolute position, but otherwise (if move_start_point_too parameter is false) it ('from' parameter) is relative to start point's position until it (start point) is ignored.
//The value of the 'from' parameter never can be negative!

//If the loop member is false, then audio should always stops playing and also set the now_playing member to false, when playback point reaches the break point, even the Pause method was not called.
//Then calling again the Play_or_Resume method will bring the playback point back to start point (the default value for this member is zero 0).
//But if the loop member is true, then playback point just returns to start point immediately and continue playing from there (now_playing remains true and it's value is unchanged).
//There is a possibility to move the break point to a negative integer, so audio either stops and sets now_playing to false or replays from start point and left now_playing true according to the loop member, at the end of the audio. The default value of break point member is minus one -1 .
unsigned long long GetBreakpointPosition(); //Returns the position of the break point that has been already mentioned above.
void MoveStartPointTo(unsigned long long new_position); //Moves the start point to a new position that indicates to sample no. new position.
unsigned long long GetStartPointPosition(); //Returns the position of the start point that has been already mentioned above.

void DisableRepeatMode(); //Sets the private loop member to false.
void ToggleRepeatMode(); //If loop was true before calling this function, so after it is false. Otherwrise it is true.

void SetSpeed(int num_sam_per_sec); //Modifies the number of samples that are played in every second.
//If number (integer) is negative, then audio is played in backward.
//When playback point reaches start point, then it is transferred to break point if it's position is not negative. Otherwise it is transferred to the end of the audio buffer.

void ReferStartPoint(); //Sets the ignore_start_point member to false.

//This function fills the instance pointed by 'lpAp' parameter with the data of the audio file redirected by 'path_and_name_of_file' parameter, and calls the Play_or_Resume method of this instance if auto_start_playing is true.
//If the function succeeds, then it returns "succeed". Otherwise (if the function fails) then it returns an error string that describes the problem (the reason it failed). It can be sent to output, so it can be read, by either call to MessageBox, printf, std::cout, TextOut, DrawText functions and etc.
//The function can fails, because the file was not exist, or could not be opened for reading, because it was opened by another process, or the file was either encrypted or protected, or corrupted, or was not audio file, but text, image and etc.
I want to implement all methods of the AudioPlayer class and the LoadAudioFromComputer function by myself using DirectSound (the <dsound.h>) and all functions, interfaces, methods, structures, etc... that this header provides, but I don't know how! I
need your help! This is difficult for me to find in the internet the information I need to do this. MSDN is teaching all this stuff, but this is too difficult! I need you to implement all these methods of the AudioPlayer class and the LoadAudioFromComputer
function for me using DirectSound and the <dsound.h> and the explanations I wrote in comments, and then post the code. I will copy it to mine and read it all to learn. Please use comments so I can understand. I will thank and appreciate anyone who will
donate his time to help me and do this for me! :DMicrosoft pulled the plug on DirectSound HAL in Vista due to lack of hardware support. The SAL exists for
software compatibility, good intention but bad performance as there is no longer a direct path from
DirectSound to audio drivers.
People choose DirectSound for its Direct-ness
but there is no reason to choose it now.
DirectX SDK was integrated
with WIndows SDK which ships with Visual Studio 2012 so you don't need additional downloads for
WASAPI and XAudio 2.
Just look up the documentation for headers/librarieslike every other Windows API you use. If you have a hard time to find the documentation then you need to go to search engines and find search engine tutorials.
There are plenty of samples for both WASAPI and XAudio 2, both in the Windows SDK and online. The DirectX team has some suggestions on which to use on their team blog.
You can find experts for those APIs at the Windows Desktop Pro-Audio Application Development forum and the
Audio/XACT forum on MSDN (link left out for you to practice your search skills). Again, it is fine to ask for hints but don't ask the whole
solution. You are competing with others who just need a hint to finish work here. The time spent on working on your assignment would be better spent on helping on giving hints to others.

Play audio in background without background mode key as audio in info-plist
My application requires background audio in some conditions but not always, say when a particular screen is active in that case, i want to play audio in background and for that i have specified background key for Audio in info-plist. But my app is not getting approved having following reason:
While your app has declared support for audio in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist, no audio is played when users switch to another application. The audio background mode is meant for applications with audio streams, like radio applications. You'll need to provide audible content to the user while the app is in the background or remove the "audio" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key.
so , is there a way for playing audio in background without specifying background mode key ? or app getting approved with this key mentioned ?
thanks in advanceJoe,
Check out this tutorial written by Michael Wong on this very topic. I think you will find his step by step explanations quite easy to follow...

Thank all for ur input. The main problem is when I grab video clips from the desktop to the project window and play back on monitor of CS4, I get jerky video for few seconds and freeze it while playing audio perfectly up until to end of the clip. I have tried the same thing with APPro 1.5, the same thing has happened. When I play the SXS card thru Sony XDCAM EX1 on the Televion, I could not find any jerky video there. I have set the XDCAM EX1 and PProCS4 for PAL/HQ/1080i/25fps. Any other suggestions to try out.. Thx

Thats asking for exactly the issue you are experiencing.
PPRo needs multiple drives and setups to run correctly. Check the setup and specs required for the application. -
Hello everybody, this is a vital question.
After the latest security update, logic stopped playing audio. After a short debug I discovered that core audio doesn't show any external interface anymore, so any other song is affected. I dont know if the security update is related... Anyways Logic is gone and my songs too!!!
Audio-Midi configuration, as well as the interface related control panels, work as expected and audio is correctly played by the finder. All other software which makes use of core audio (e.g. Bias Peak) works.
My interfaces are AVID M-Audio Fast Track Ultra and, for this testing purposes, M-Audio Audiosport Duo (legacy), all with the latest drivers.
Obviously my Logic is officially bought from the App Store.
MacPro (late 2007) 7GB RAM 2 x 2,66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon
Mac OS X 10.7.5 (latest update)
Logic Pro 9.1.8 (1700.67) 32 bit (latest update)
AVID M-Audio Fast Track Ultra with 2.2.2 firmware (latest update)Hey icedj,
I had that happen. I had to trash my Logic prefs, then restart Logic. It's a P.I.T.A. because you lose various settings (color settings, for instance), but it fixed the problem for me.
