Problem getting audio on a W540

Hi all I have been having some problems getting audio to work on my brand new W540. I have tried everything in terms of driver-updates, bios-updates, software-updates, registry cleaning (cc cleaner), removal and re-installation of drivers, etc. etc. but I am stuck with a little red cross on my speaker icon and the message "No audio output device is installed". I know this to be wrong though because at times I will have sound for a couple of days and then the little red cross pops back on. So I know that the sound works. It seems to be more of a software issue. Currently I am getting a warning that the "DDP UMDF Driver" is deactivated. A bit of googling around tells me that this means the driver (which happens to be an audio driver) is malfunctioning and should be re-installed, but all help as to how that can be done seizes to exist online past this point. Can anyone help me with this problem? I'd hate to have to send the laptop back in for maintenance because I am very dependent on it and because it works well in all other respects. Cheers Jakob

Having retried reinstalling with the recovery discs I was reminded what my problem was. I can't seem to get the system to boot up from the discs. Following the instructions from this link:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht075445#win8_1 I go into the boot sequence and change it so that the external DVD drive (and anything that remotely sounds like it could be an external DVD drive) is on top (See below), but when I save and restart the computer simply restarts into windows instead of starting the recovery process with the discs. What am I doing wrong?

Encore 1.5 -problem getting audio on the timeline

hi - newbie question!!!- i am trying to add audio to my mpeg2 video clip on the timeline in encore 1.5 - i believe you drag and drop the asset from the projects tab into the timeline but when i open the timeline and click the projects tab the timeline dissapears so i am unable to drop audio into the timeline.
is there any way of ensuring both tabs are open at the same time to allow this ?

What workspace do you have set up?
In our installation of Encore 1.5 it is perfectly possible to have the project assets list and a timeline both open at the same time.

Problems sending audio to and from STP and then back into FCP

I am having problems getting audio clips back into FCPro 5 after sending them to STP and editing them.
This is my process: "Send" mono file to STP as new audio project file.
Save it in the dialog that opens with "sent" at the end...then it opens in STP.
Edit it.
Save it and select include audio source files.
Switch back to FCPRo and I have a warning "Some Files Went offline", namely the one I just sent to Soundtrack. The clip is now apparently offline and white colored but now has the file name with "sent" included.
Where did I go wrong? This was working for me previously.

Hi Blearyeyes,
I was just relaying what I've heard about the media going offline--I didn't claim that it made sense to me in these sorts of workflows where you know you are changing the media in STP, because you've just sent it to STP to be modified.
I've since dug through the FCP manuals, and it looks like it's the FCP rules about when a clip is considered to be offline that we're hitting--in the User Manual Part 2, on pages 79-80 there are some details about what causes the clip to go offline.
Here is one of the key statements from page 80--a clip is considered offline, "when a media file is modified, moved, or deleted, the modification date of the media file is changed, or the scratch disk becomes unavailable."

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.

IPad 2, 7.0.6, composite AV cable gets audio to tv (analog) but no video. Options in Video settings do NOT include "TV out". How do I get audio and video to tv?

I originally connected through my Magnavox dvr, then tried connecting directly to tv. Same result - sound but no video. Instructions I have tell me to go to Settings - Videos, where I should find "Widescreen," "TV Signal" and "TV Out" options. The only options I find are "Start Playing," "Show All Videos" and "Home Sharing," which is my Apple ID. Where have the other three options gone? Can I get video from my iPad 2 to my tv???

Geojarv - I'm having the same problems getting iPad 2 output via HDMI to the TV.
I have an iPad2 using Apple's 30 pin to AV Adapter. I originally thought this was an Apple not supporting Samsung thing so I tried it on the Sony Bravia TV downstairs with the same results.
I've tried plugging in both the Apple 30 pin connector and HDMI cable thinking it might need power but that didn't help.
I get the TV icon in the Video playbar letting me toggle output choices. Sometimes it says Dock Connector or not at all (just showing Airport Extreme Audio or Apple TV). On my iPhone 4 playing Video it will toggle between Dock Connector and iPhone in the output options.
Using a $24 Central Computer iPhone/iPad to HDMI knock off connector I have gotten this to work in the past, but because I ran into issues I went and picked up the official Apple AV Adapter cable. Currently neither solution works so I'm wondering if this is an Apple iOS (6.0.1) issue since I've swapped out the other variables (2 TVs, 2 iOS devices, 2 HDMI cables, 2 HDMI adapters).
I'll keep playing with it, but I'm not currently able to help my kid with his school video project because I can't figure a clean way of screen recording from his iPad into iMovie.
thoughts?

In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
Switch off Mac
Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
Switch off Mac again
Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.

IMac 27" (Late 2009): getting audio to HDMI receiver via mini DisplayPort

I just got my first iMac 27" and I'm in the process of integrating it into my home theater system. Here is my setup:
iMac 27" connected to HDMI receiver (Yamaha RX-V1800) via mini DosplayPort, using miniDP-to-HDMI adapter + HDMI cable
Optoma HD20 video projector connected to HDMI receiver (HDMI out) via HDMI cable
I have Windows 7 installed via Bootcamp 3.2, so that I can take advantage of Windows Media Center. With the above setup, I am not getting audio or video signal to my receiver and video projector when I'm using Windows 7. However, when I am in OS X environment, I can get both video and audio signal to my receiver and video projector, and either mirror or extend my video diplay. When I do plug in my iMac straight into my video projector or LCD monitor with built-in speakers while in Windows 7, I get both audio and video output. So why doesn't it work -- and only under Windows 7 -- when the signal goes through the receiver?
My immediate thought was that it must be something about the receiver, but since the setup creates no problem under OS X I don't think it is. Could it perhaps be the Windows driver for mini DisplayPort, because it looks like iMac is not 'recognizing' my receiver and therefore not establishing connection? Is there a driver of fix available that takes care of this problem?
Thanks!

I've tried a few times and it hasn't worked so far...
23" Cinema Display (ADC) connected to Apple's ADC to DVI adapter/power box then connected to Apple's DVI to mini Display Port adapter.
Trying to output extended desktop from iMac to 23" Cinema Display.
No signal or anything on the 2nd monitor so far.

Problem with Audio MIDI Setup using multiple accounts

I'm having a problem with Audio MIDI Setup recognizing all of the MIDI devices on a G4 Tower with a non-administrator account. The main administrator account has no problem seeing anything, but the non-admin account won't see anything. Does it all have to be added in manually, or is there a preferences file to copy over that will take care of this. Failing that, is it a problem with file permissions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't know whether this of any help, but there's an identifiable issue with AMS and Digital Performer 5 where DP5 simply won't load with AMS setups configured with previous versions of DP. Which is probably irrelevant to your problem, but ...
What I and other DP users have found we have to do is start with a completely new, blank AMS setup, and reconfigure our devices from scratch, and although this was kind of hit and miss and on the fly (don't really understand what the the issue was, exactly), I think the bottom line was if we used the new AMS setup with DP5 before anything else that might cause its data tables to change, we were ok.
So if you can do it, it might be worth setting AMS to a new blank template, then connecting your interfaces, see how far you get. And always make sure you've got the latest drivers of course, though I'm sure you've done that.
Never used Mbox or 410, but I've an Ozonic which I think uses the same M-Audio firewire drivers as the 410, and don't have any problem with that, FWIW.

Just saw your thread, and it looked like a candidate for the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce Roll Back the Driver issue. If your computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card, then the following applies to you. You do not want to update the driver. Rather you want to roll back the driver version, probably to about May 2013. For your convenience I have done a copy/paste of the forum announcement which gives all the details and fix of the matter.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for the driver roll back can be found
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
This matter has been very specific to the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce card user. So, if your computer is using other than a NVIDIA GeForce card, it is likely that the message does not apply to you, and we can then explore other troubleshooting possibities.
Looking forward to your follow up. Do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything written here.
Thanks.

Two problems with audio clips

Hello,
I'm having two problems with audio clips:
1. When I try to drag a clip from the viewer, I can't do it because it won't let me drag the clip. It only lets me drag the pointer around within the clip.
2. When I drag an audio clip from the browser into the timeline I don't get any audio, just a series of beeps (and yes, my audio media is on-line -- I can listen to it in the viewer, just not the timeline).
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

1. Drag the little hand on speaker icon to drag from
the Viewer...
Thanks! (Does it actually say that in the documentation anywhere? I try to RTFM, but the FM seems to be a little, er, mute on this point.)
2. It means your sequence settings don't match the
properties of the source audio you're putting in it,
and you either need to change the settings in the
sequence, or render the audio.
Ah, that would explain it. Thanks!

Issue / problem adding audio in Presenter 7 (PowerPoint 2010)

Since I got a new PC (Windows 7), I'm having an issue / problem adding audio in Presenter 7 (PowerPoint 2010).
It doesn’t happen every time, but randomly with many presentations...
In PowerPoint, right after I import audio (through Presenter) and click “ok”, I get the following errors:
Then, I can't get into the "import/sync/edit" mode, from the Presenter tab...
Already tried reinstalling Presenter, resaving new presentations, deleting the .ppcx/audio folders, importing the audio locally (vs from my network drive), etc.
Then sometimes, randomly, it will let me get back in and edit the audio, after numerous attempts…?!? I can't figure out what the pattern is, which is causing this new problem (never had this problem before, w/ my old PC - Win XP / PowerPoint 2003 / Presenter 6 & 7)
Anybody have an idea what the issue could be?
Thanks,
Mike P.

Hello,
I tried to reproduce this issue but I am not getting any error message. Please provide us following information; this might help to reproduce this issue:-

Getting audio to work on Compaq SR1520NX

I'm trying to get audio working on a Compaq SR1520NX.
The audio device is AC97, and should be SIS7012 chipset. Linux had no problems with this, and appeared to use the snd-intel8x0 driver.
With Solaris 10 1106, prtconf identifies the audio device as pci103c,2a05 and includes pci1039,7012 in the compatible list.
I've tried using the audio810 driver, as well as the audioi810 (both 1.8 and 1.9beta) drivers, all without success. I've added a driver alias for the pci103c,2a05 to audio810, and then to audioi810, and confirmed the correct entry showed up in /etc/driver_aliases. I did a reboot after each change.
In /var/adm/messages, I see something along the lines of:
pci: [ID 370704 kern.info] PCI-device: pci103c,2a05@2,7,
audioi8100
genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] audioi8100 is /pci@0,0/pci103c,2a05@2,7
audioi810: [ID 916902 kern.info] PCI-device: pci103c,2a05, audioi8100, SiS7012 (rev. 0xa0) at irq 10
unix: [ID 954099 kern.info] NOTICE: IRQ18 is being shared by drivers with different interrupt levels.
This may result in reduced system performance.
audioi810: [ID 216691 kern.info] AC97: primary codec, rev. 2.3, vendor id1:0x414c,id2:0x4780, 20-bit DAC, 18-bit ADC, 3D-stereo mode 0, aux 4CH_OUT
audioi810: [ID 885429 kern.info] AC97: extid 0x09c7, powerdown status 0x000f
with the only difference being audio810 or audioi810. I don't know what is on IRQ18, but the sound car is reporting irq 10, so I don't think that is related. I'm wondering if I need to so something to initialize the card.
I figure I am missing something very simple and basic, probably "enable sound" or something silly, but so far the solution has eluded me.
Anyone have any suggestions on getting this sound card working?
Thanks,
Greg

The same problem on a similar machine: a Compaq Presario with AMD64, chipset SIS760 and Realtek AC97 audio, also identified as pci103c,2a05. And also the message "no audio device".
I installed the drivers from tools.de with the excellent instructions in http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/submitted/audio_driver.html
The installation 'was succesful', but after the reboot there was no change at all. I installed the opensource driver with the same result.
I tried to couple the device in driver_aliases with all kinds of drivers: audio810, audioi810, audiovia8233, audiovia823x, all without succes. I tried also with the method as described in http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/techtips/assign_device_to_driver.jsp
but update_drv 'failed to update driver', and devfsadm 'failed to attach'.
In /var/adm/messages no trace of the device, only missing drivers for the sound of the camera.
Just like Greg I have the impression that the solution must be something very simple. Finally it is a quite current card. Any suggestion to get it working? Tnx
