Problem Recording Audio Stream: audacity, HDA Intel ALC882, Stereo Mix

Hi,
I am trying to record an audio stream using Audacity, but I am having problems. From the mixer toolbar dropdown, I have various options for mic, line, cd, but there is no option for 'stereo mix.' I have looked at alsamixer, and none of the capture channels are muted. I would be grateful if someone could point me in the correct direction.
Regards,
Ian Sutherland

You need pulseaudio to capture from the mixer. Try this:

it worked for me in my Lenovo T61 with HDA Intel sound
Good luck

The Audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog) doesn't work.

Every time I login to KDE through KDM, the notification gives me this message: "The Audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog) doesn't work. Falling back to default"
Everytime I try to play an audio file, the notification gives me the same message.
But everything else such as system sound, online video work.
What can I do to make it work?
thank you for your help

I have the same problem under the same conditions the original poster described. However, under System Settings -> Multimedia -> Device Preference I don't have default as device listed. The devices I can pick are:
-Esound (ESD)
-HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog)
-HDA Intel, NVIDIA HDMI (HDMI Audio Output)
-Jack Audio COnnection Kit.
I can also pick HDA Intel (NVIDIA HDMI) when I check 'Show advanced devices'
When I use Esound I have sound for a while, until after a random time it falls back to the underlying device, which makes sound disappear. When I use HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog), it falls back immediately on logging in and the other choices do never fall back, but when I use them, I have no sound at all. After I loose sound when Esound falls back to another device, sometimes writing sudo /etc/rc.d/alsa restart gives sound back, but mostly I need to relog/restart the X-Server to get sound back.
Is my issue related to the original poster his problem? And how can I fix it?

Problem recording audio from sampler...

Problem recording audio from sampler (MPC 1000) to Logic using midi trigger thru Lexicon Omega box.
When I hit the record button in Logic, it triggers my mpc to start playing. Logic then picks up the incoming audio signal on the appropriate track and starts recording the audio... PROBLEM- Logic appears to keep restarting the incoming audio, repeating the first 1/4 of the first 1Bar. So every time I hear the metronome tempo counter as it records, the incoming audio replays from the beginning and this is what gets recorded. On the contrary when I'm controlling the sampler via midi and just hit the play button in Logic, the audio signal comes threw and plays the full 4 bars of the audio that I want recorded.
Any idea on how I can fix this? It seems like it has to do with my metronome counter or midi time code?
Thanks to all that help!

Thanks, good suggestion but these are music instruction dvds that aren't copyrighted.

Problem recording Audio since 10.5.7 update

Hi,
I have a MBP Late 2008 and a Mackie Spike XD-2 sound card (used with USB), Garageband 4.1.2 and Logic pro 8.0.2
However since the update, every time I record audio with the Mackie, all audio guitar and vocals is distorted, crackly and almost electronic sounding.
I have tried it through Garage band and Logic pro 8.0.2. and both have the same effect.
I was able to record fine on 10.5.6 and I know that there is nothing wrong with the sound card as it works on another macbook running a lower OS prior to 10.5.7.
I haven't got time machine running. I do have an external HD for my PC but when I connected it to my mac it said that I would have to re-format it which I am unable to do due to the large amount of windows documents on it.
I am really unsure whet to do. Can you roll back to 10.5.6 by re-installing it? or if I re-install my original OS and update to 10.5.6 will it remove all of my data and programs.
Please help, I'l tearing my hair out here and really need to get my recording done.
Thanks

Of course not, but some old printers and other hardware will eventually not be supported.
According to Apple, Snow Leopard will only run on Intel machines.
"Mac computer with an Intel processor - 1GB of memory"
No jus joking but really they must have some liability for ensuring the compatibility of 3rd party devices that were compatible in previous versions of Mac os x.
They cannot insure that each and every piece of hardware in the world is supported by every update. It's up to the user to properly vet the updates. The best way is to clone the OS and update the clone and see what works and what does not work.
I mean mackie doesn't write the software?
They don't? Somebody does. Maybe that's the problem.

Problem recording audio in iMovie

I am currently having problems recording a voice over in iMovie. I have checked the The system settings and it is recognizing my usb microphone as the source for input. I can also record audio within another project, just not in the one I want to. This makes me think something has been changed within the project settings. Any suggestions?

If the QT movies"that iMovie generates" are fine, then your DVDs that iMovie makes may be fine since iDVD uses QT movies. I would try one, SHare to MEdia Browser at the highest resolution (this can take hours) then open iDVD and migrate to that movie, drag it into iDVD window and burn and see.

Problems recording audio through garageband

Hello Mac world, I'm completely new to the Mac computers, and just purchased my MacBook Pro with a 2.3 ghz quad-core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB SSD, so I don't think specs are the problem to my issue. I purchased the Mac to record audio, and also purchased an audio interface to record through (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2). I have downloaded the most recent drivers for that. I connected my guitar through the instrument input, connected the interface through USB, and connected headphones into the headphone jack. I can hear the audio playback while I play through the headphones, but my problem relates to the actual recording process, as well as the audio playback.
When recording, I get the following error: "Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI - Sample rate 41068 recognized. Check conflict between GarageBand and external device". I read that GarageBand requires a sample rate of 41000, but I don't know how to check/change that. I also can't hear the metronome or the count in while I play/record. My input source is Mono 1 (Scarlett 2i2 USB), instead of Stereo (Scarlett 2i2 USB) in both my GarageBand preferences and my System Preferences.
Next, I have a problem hearing the audio playback after recording. Again, I can hear the guitar while I play, but not after I record. Also, like I mentioned above, I can't hear any metronome or count in.
I also successfully recorded using a MIDI controller when connecting directly from the controller to computer using USB. Again, I don't think that my system specs are an issue, but I am completely new to the Mac side of things, and am not sure where I am going wrong with this.
Does anyone have any clues as to what the issue may be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Adam

WO HOO I answered my own question.
I found this little gem of a tutorial:

...which outlines how to route DV audio into garageband using soundflower. Worked like a charm!

Cubase 5 - Problems Recording Audio

I'll just cut straight to it, I cannot record audio at all. I experienced no problems when I had Cubase SX on the PC, but since using a mac for the best part of a year, I can't for the life of me figure out how to set this up the right way!
Any help out there, guys?

I haven't actually! How would I exactly? I've taken a screen shot of the Audio MIDI Setup... http://i56.tinypic.com/1zwiwqa.png

Problem recording audio 'overwrite'

I have a demo file recorded and attempted to use the audio
dropdown to re-record audio. The process went normally - the system
tested for audio signal and the recording was done. I pressed stop
and the top of the window said that the recording would replace the
existing audio. However, when I close that window the original
audio is still there. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Hi,
Make SURE the track you are going to record onto is:
1. An AUDIO track. MIDI tracks, aux objects, bus objects,etc. do not record audio, ever. Only AUDIO tracks do this.
2. Has the CORRECT input chosen. Check the channel parameters on the left of the arrange page to see what the input is.
3. Is RECORD-ENABLED (the r that turns red when you click it)
Also, make SURE your Core Audio is the latest version.
Cheers

Recording Audio with iPod Nano - Request Software Stereo Monitor

I'm posting this message hoping that an Apple employee will read it...
The iPod Nano used in conjunction with the Belkin TuneTalk Stereo adapter turns the Nano into an excellent solid-state 16bit / 44.1KHz digital audio recorder. However, there is no visual indication that audio is being recorded on the Nano when recording is initiated - no stereo audio monitor with a volume indicator bar for the left & right channels is present. Most audio recording applications provide a left & right stereo volume indicator bar to display real-time audio clipping or low input volume... colored green at the bottom, yellow near the top, and red at the very top for audio clipping when the input volume is too loud.
While I understand that the main purpose of the iPod is for audio playback, I would ask Apple to include a stereo audio monitor in an upcoming iPod software update (soon). Perhaps as a starting point, you can borrow code for the live equalizer monitor that appears at the top of the iTunes window when the little right-arrow is pressed in the virtual LCD screen area.
While I have had no problems to date recording on the iPod Nano, it would be reassuring to know that the device is actually recording audio. It would be unfortunate to record an hour-long interview believing everything is fine, but then discover that no audio had been recorded. The presence of a stereo audio monitor would help deter this fear.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jaspo

Software for recording audio streams?

Is there a recommended software for capturing audio and converting to mp3?

Hi everyone -
I was using Audacity (freeware) for recording streaming audio and able to edit or convert at will . However for Mac ( being a new user) I am not sure what software is suitable. Recently bought an iSoundStudio from Apple but find the functions extremely restricted. Appreciated very much if someone out there can recommend a good one similar to audacity. BTW, audacity has the Mac version but my system blocked the download,

Problem Recording Audio

Hi All,
I have an audio conferencing application which is working quite well. All of the audio is relayed through the server to the appropriate clients. I am in the process of making these meetings archivable; to do so I need to save the the incoming stream on the server side to a file while retransmitting it. The problem is that the client sends out the stream in RAW_RTP format (RTP won't send) and I can't find a way to create a datasink based on this type of audio. I get the error: Cannot find a DataSink for: com.sun.media.multiplexer.RawBufferMux$RawBufferDataSource. I have tried converting to several different types of formats, the only one that actually worked was .aiff but when I went to open it the file was corrupted. Is there any way to create a datasink based on received RAW_RTP stream?
Here is the code for saving the audio (on the server side):
        teacherArchiveProcessor = Manager.createProcessor(ds);
            if (!waitForState(teacherArchiveProcessor, Processor.Configured)){
                System.out.println("Error - Could not configure processor.");
                return;
           FileTypeDescriptor cd = new FileTypeDescriptor(FileTypeDescriptor.AIFF);
           teacherArchiveProcessor.setContentDescriptor(cd);
            TrackControl track = teacherArchiveProcessor.getTrackControls()[0];
            track.setFormat(track.getFormat());
            System.out.println("Track is set to transmit as:");
            System.out.println(" " + track.getSupportedFormats()[0]);
            if (!waitForState(teacherArchiveProcessor, Processor.Realized)){
                System.out.println("Error - Could not realize processor.");
                return;
            MediaLocator dest = new MediaLocator("file://archive.aiff");
            teacherArchiveDataSink = Manager.createDataSink(teacherArchiveProcessor.getDataOutput(), dest);
            teacherArchiveDataSink.open();
            teacherArchiveDataSink.start();
            //Start sending
            teacherArchiveProcessor.start();Here is the code for the sending out the audio (on the client side):
CaptureDeviceInfo di = (CaptureDeviceInfo) CaptureDeviceManager.
                    getDeviceList(new AudioFormat("linear")).firstElement();
            mediaLocator = di.getLocator();
            //Get the datasource
            dataSource = Manager.createDataSource(mediaLocator);
            //Create the processor
            processor = Manager.createProcessor(mediaLocator);
            if (!waitForState(processor, Processor.Configured)){
                System.out.println("Error - Could not configure processor.");
                return;
           ContentDescriptor cd = new ContentDescriptor(ContentDescriptor.RAW_RTP);
           processor.setContentDescriptor(cd);
            TrackControl track = processor.getTrackControls()[0];
            track.setFormat(new Format("LINEAR"));
            System.out.println("Track is set to transmit as:");
            System.out.println(" " + track.getFormat());
            if (!waitForState(processor, Processor.Realized)){
                System.out.println("Error - Could not realize processor.");
                return;
            dataOutput = processor.getDataOutput();
            //Create the transmitter
            PushBufferDataSource pbds = (PushBufferDataSource) dataOutput;
            SendStream sendStream = rtpSendManager.createSendStream(dataOutput, 0);
            sendStream.start();
            //Start sending
            processor.start();
            sendingAudio = true;

I solved the issue. In case anyone else runs into the same issue you can save an incoming RAW_RTP stream by setting the content descriptor on the receiving side to FileTypeDescriptor.MPEG_AUDIO and setting the track to AudioFormat.MPEG. I found this out after hours and hours of trying random combinations until I found one that worked.

Problems with audio streaming

Hi to everyone!
I'm trying to listen to a streaming radio from the website
http://www.retetoscanaclassica.it/
which has the following link for streaming:
mms://streaming.intoscana.it/wmtencoder/rtc.wma
and neither with real player (even with the windows media package installed) nor with VLC I can listen it properly: with the first there is no sound at all, with the second, even if I tried to enlarge the cache for more buffering, I can listen just a few seconds per time!
Someone can help me? And another little help: how can I change the predefined application for this link? It's not a file, so I can't use the "get info" way...
thank you to anyone, I hope I can listen this radio everywhere in the world with my (first) Mac!
Lorenzo
P.S.
Classical Music lovers... try this radio, it's great... if you can listen it!

I'm sorry you've run into this audio bug. Please see this FAQ for instructions on reverting to a previous version of Flash Player.
How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?

Recording audio in from 2 turntables and a mixer

Does anyone know the most economical and efficient way to record in to a 13" MacBook Pro using a setup with 2 turntables and a mixer? Is it possible to get good sound using the headphone jack as a line in, or do I need a sound card? Can I just use a 3.5mm to rca jack and something like Audacity? Thanks.

The method you described should work just fine if you take the output from the mixer and route it to the line in on the Mac. You can even use Garageband if you want to.

Sound card doesn't work properly (HDA intel)

I had a fresh install and now i have this problems:
@ Starting volwheel i get "volume: can't open /dev/mixer "

"volume: can't open /dev/mixer " is for the users who use OSS so there; you should find out what uses OSS and change it if it is possible and not solely on oss.
and the error I am having is because I defined the specific software to hwd:0,0. so what i should do is to check my softwares and set the audio output to "default"
So in another word use you sound card and in output option of your sound card choose "default over hwd:0,0"
