Question about speakers

Hello,
As a newcomer to Logic, I have already encountered my first seemingly unsolveable problem. I am hoping someone here can help me.
I want all input to come through my Edirol Audio Capture UA-5 audio interface, and all my output to go through my built-in audio speakers.
I have an iMac G4 with Logic Pro 7.2. My operating system is Mac OS 10.4.8.
I have already done quite a bit of research on this site and have even found a posting that is very similar to mine.
It was suggested on this similar posting to create an aggregate device under AudioMidiSetup. I did this and attempted to play the tutorial song through my speakers. It did not work.
I have experimented with the default input and output in AudioMidiSetup. I tried putting the aggregate device in both input and output. I tried putting the aggregate device into the input only and set the output to built-in. I relaunched Logic after each change. It still will not play through the speakers.
I really need someone to help me. I can’t figure this out by myself. It is definitely very possible that I am missing something obvious. Any and all suggestions are welcome. I just really want to solve this problem.
Thank you.

If it's an unsolvable problem, why are you posting it here?
Hehe. No, you've most likely setup something incorrectly, so.
You are correct about the aggregate device. You need to create one, and add both the internal soundcard, and the external one to it. if you are not sure how to do this, then say so, and we'll walk you through it.
With both audio interfaces now working as one, we should be able to specify whatever inputs and outputs that are available.
In Logic, specify the audio interface (Preferences -> Audio Drivers) and choose the aggregate device you created. Now all inputs and outputs are available to Logic.
Lastly, we need to tall Logic which we want to use. Opent the environment window, go to your Audio layer, and find your "Output 1&2" object. Change the output to be the ones your speakers output to. You should now hear sound.
On the track objects, their Inputs should be set to whichever inputs the Edirol inputs are coming in on.

  • A QUESTION ABOUT SPEAKERS

    Can someone tell me the difference between PA Speakers And Loud Speakers? Is there a difference?
    Also Im looking into getting these speakers but Im a little confused , on the spec sheet it says 250 watts continuous handling and 1'000 watts peak. So does that mean I can put up to a 1'000 watt amp before they explode or do I have to keep my amp around 250 watts ?

  • Question about speakers built into the 3Gs

    Hi, one of my speaker on the phone went dead is this hard ware or soft ware issue? should I reset the phone to original factory spec.? I notice this when plug the phone in to the aux in the car, it only put out music on the right speaker of the car. Any one have seen similar situation? greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for enlighten me on that, and I've always thought both sides were speaker output. I think that solved all my problem. It must be the aux cable that is causing the problem. I am going to try to replace the aux cable with another one. The day before all of my speaker in the car put out sound with the iphone in operation, today the radio put out sound in all speaker but when I plug the iphone in only the right front speaker putting out sound.

  • Questions about Audigy 2 ZS connecti

    Hello,
    New to these forums, so bear with me. I'm considering purchasing an Audigy 2 ZS gamer card, and have some questions about the card and speaker setup. I've read the FAQ's in the forum, and they have been a big help, but I still have questions related specifically to my setup. Here's the system specs:
    AMD Athlon 64 3000+
    Asus K8V SE Deluxe
    VisionTek Radeon X800 XT PE
    Seagate 250 gig SATA HDD
    gig Crucial ram
    Antec P80 case
    Antec TruePower 430 ps
    Altec Lansing ADA885 digital speakers (awesome sound)
    Altec Lansing headset (cheap but works for voice and gaming)
    ADI AD980 onboard sound
    Windows XP Home
    . I currently am able to run both the speakers and headset at the same time by using the front panel audio outlets on the case (helps with the immersion in IL2 946). I would like to continue doing this(using front panel audio) with the new card. I've found several places that have an adapter cable for sale, http://www.x-tap.com/
    http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...oducts_id=2700
    http://ask.americas.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=ww_english_add,U={B8F6030-DA4F-D3-94F4-00500463020E},Company={CEAE26D-879-4C00-AC9F-03BC258F7B70},d=3025443648,VARSET=ws:http://us.creative.com,case=5764
    The plug that I have has only 3 separators, not 4. Will this work with the Audigy 2? I don't have a link for this plug, unfortunately.
    4. I had been considering purchasing? a set of USB headphones, but I've been told that when you plug them in, the sound is cut off for the speakers. If there was a workaround for this, I might consider getting them. Then I wouldn't have to use the front panel audio or the connections on the card.
    5. I've heard of an issue with this particular set of speakers and the Audigy 2 card, particularly that the speakers were originally designed for a Dell system, and the wiring was phased differently than in other systems. Is this something to be concerned with, and if so, is there a workaround?
    I like to research a particular product before I buy it, in order to make an informed decision and avoid problems if possible. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    The inputs are easy to find and select:?
    Right-click the Mixer icon on the taskbar and select "Playback Devices".<
    There should open a new Window with the options of "Speakers" and "SPDIF"<
    With Speakers highlighted click the?"Properties" button on the lower?right corner<
    Go to the 4th tab (I believe it is "volume" in english, "Pegel" in german)<
    There you have your inputs!<
    Unmute Line-In and set its volume according to your desires.<
    Also remember that software designed for XP, that should control the Line-IN settings, (ie. Hauppauge WinTV or Dscaler) will be unable to do so in Vista, do to the architecture change. You can however enable "Compatibility Mode for Windows XP SP2" for these applications (right-click on their executable) and restore control of the inputs directly from the program. (You should however unmute it first as explained above). PS:? All Creative Software that came on the CD is incompatible to Vista. Only the included Audio Console should work as expected.Message Edited by alexs3d2 on 05-07-200707:3 PM

  • Questions about TDM mode on an iMac

    Hi!
    I'm thinking about buying 2009-2010 27" iMac, it should replace my home server, display and audio system.
    Primarily, I will use it in TDM mode, and have some questions about it.
    Firstly, what about sound? iMac receives it over Mini DP, right? And if I'll connect HDMI device to iMac (PS3, looking forward to Xbox One, and MacBook Air over hdmi adapter), sound will be played over desktop's speakers, as it should?
    Second, and most interesting part: if connection scheme is MacBook Air->Mini DP to HDMI adapter->HDMI cable->HDMI splitter->HDMI to Mini DP cable->iMac in TDM, everything will work fine?
    Also interested about cables. For example, this cable http://dx.com/p/cy-dp-021-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-audio-extender-cable-white-1- 8m-177527 supports up to 1920x1200, but basically, both DP 1.2 and HDMI 1.3b supports 2560x1600. Should I look for another cable or this one will support 2560x1440 resolution?)

    Beta software is always a risk. Some beta releases are close to finished status and quite polished and bug-free, while others have significant and often crippling bugs. Not that software in official release may not also have problems, but the entire point of beta releases is to identify bugs prior to an official release, so bugs are much more likely. Sometimes you won't encounter any problems, but other beta software may take your machine down completely; it all depends on what the software is intended to do, how skilled the programmers are, and where in the beta cycle the software may be. A "public preview" release from a major developer such as Microsoft, Apple, or Mozilla is less likely to have major problems, but it's no guarantee.
    It's always wise to be very cautious about using any beta software, and to take extra precautions, particularly making backups much more often and preferably not using your main computer, when running any beta software. I would recommend never, repeat never, running beta software on any computer on which you depend on a daily basis for work or critical schoolwork. If you must, make a clone of your entire hard drive to another volume before installing any beta, so you can recover your system in case of major problems.

  • 2 noob questions about speaker settin

    . What if I don't sync the Creative speaker settings with windows control panel speaker settings?
    2. What if I the speaker settings(both Creative and windows) don't match my speaker type?For example, I have only headphone connected to my Audigy 2 ZS but I set the speaker setting to 5. or whatever else. Will this improve my sound quality in games such as Battlefield 2? Am I?supposed to get the virtual 5. surround sound effect? Because I've heard that cmss upmixes stereo sound in?games to virtual 5. or 7. surround sound for headphones.
    Thanks.

    Re: 2 noob questions about speaker settings?slightlys I have a slightly different set up.
    I have 5. speakers that I use for movies and some games. For BF242 I use headphones because they give you an advantage as you can hear people creeping up behind. The virtual surround sound is really good with my XFi xtremeMusic.
    First I don't think it matters what you select under Windows Control Panel as the Creative Console Launcher updates speaker settings in Windows. Second if you want virtual 3d with CMSS on headphones just select headphones and enable CMSS3D. Then click the 'headphone' button on the CMSS3D tab and you can test the sound - a helicopter pans around in 360 degrees.
    Then in games set the software to output 5. - AFAIK. Battlefield seems to do this automatically but I can't speak for other games. I'm assuming the Audigy has the same CMSS3D tech that the XFi has.

  • Question about speaker system

    hi guys hows it going? I got a question about the creative inspire 5.1 P5800. So far I got the front and center speakers working, and the sub woofer. But i've tried everything to make the rear speakers work and they just wont work!! Think anyone can help me out with this problem? Thanks in advance.

    alfredo,
    What sound card are you using? If you are using Creative card, try turning on the CMSS feature. You can check out the Knowledgebase article for the steps.

  • Question about TravelSound 400.

    Hi, I'm new here and i have a question about TravelSound 400 which i bought several days ago. Can someone tell me why the speakers activate the bas boost or sth like that while connected to the phone and while running on batteries, when i turn it too loud the start to distort bas tones. On the other hand, when i use them with the same phone and I'm playing back same track but now it's plugged to a power adapter the don't distort and i can turn it even louder. Can someone please explain it to me ? Thank you for furthr repliyng.
    If there are any mistakes, sorry I'm not native english speaker.

    That's faulty logic. Once the alkalines diminish to that point, there isn't much life left in them. You're far better off using the NiMH batteries. The added benefit is that the voltage level is almost flat during most of their usage cycle, so you should have fairly consistent performance. If you have concerns about having to frequently charge batteries or not having replacements around when you need them, consider some of the low self-discharge NiMH batteries that are often sold as "pre-charged" as those batteries will hold an 80% charge for 6 months to a year depending on the brand. If you need a brand suggestion, try the Sanyo Eneloops.

    I use 4 Ni-MH batteries 650mAh each. All four have a voltage of 4.8 Volts, each 1.2V. So it should only distort when they are fresh after loading when the batteries have about 1,5V each. Maybe i should use them now for a while and maybe the performance will be better.

  • Questions about using the Voice Memos app

    I'm currently an Android user, but will be getting an iPhone 6 soon. My most used app is the voice memos app on my Android phone. I have a couple questions about the iPhone's built-in voice memos app.
    -Am I able to transfer my voice memos from my Android phone to my iPhone, so my recordings from my Android app will show up in the iPhone's voice memos app?
    -When exporting voice memos from the iPhone to computer, are recordings in MP3 format? If not, what format are they in?
    -In your opinion, how is the recording quality of the voice memos app?

    You cannot import your Android voice memos to your iPhone's voice memo app.  You might be able to play the Android memos and have the iPhone pick up the audio and record it.
    Here is the writeup about sending voice memos from the iPhone to your computer (from the iPhone User Guide):
    App quality is excellent.

    What "video out" does this laptop have? (DVI, s-video or d-sub)
    Can I link the laptop up to a LCD-TV and watch movies on a resolution of 1080p? (full-HD)
    What is the warranty on this laptop?

    Hello
    According the notebook specification Satellite P300-18Z has follow interfaces:
    DVI - No DVI port available
    HDMI - HDMI-out (HDMI out port available)
    Headphone Jack - External Headphone Jack (Stereo) available
    .link - iLink (Firewire) port available

    Warranty is country specific and clarifies this with your local dealer but I know that all Toshiba products have 1 year standard warranty and also 1 year international warranty. you can of course expand it.

  • Some questions about Muse

    First of all, I would like to say that I am very impressed with how well Muse works and how easy it was to create a website that satisfies me. Before I started a daily updated website I thought I would encounter many problems I will not be able to solve. I have only had a few minor issues which I would like to share with you.
    The most problems I have with a horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html). Marking and copying of a text is possible only on the last (top) layer of a document. The same situation is with widgets or anything connected with rollover state - it does not work. In the above example it would be perfect to use a composition/tooltip widget on the first page. Unfortunately, you cannot even move the cursor into it.
    It would be helpful to have an option of rolling a mouse to an anchor (like in here http://www.play.pl/super-smartfony/lg-nexus-5.html and here http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/onepage_scroll_demo.html).  I mean any action of a mouse wheel would make a move to another anchor/screen. It would make navigation of my site very easy.
    Is it possible to create a widget with a function next anchor/previous anchor? Currently, in the menu every button must be connected to a different anchor for the menu to be functional.
    A question about Adobe Muse. Is it possible to create panels in different columns? It would make it easier to go through all the sophisticated program functions.
    The hits from Facebook have sometimes very long links, eg.
    (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/mclaren-p1-nowy-krol-nurburgring.html?fb_action_ids=143235557 3667782&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582). If such a link is activated, the anchors in the menu do not work on any page. I mean the backlight of an active state, which helps the user to find out where on page they currently are. The problem also occurs when in the name of a html file polish fonts exist. And sometimes the dots does not work without any reason, mostly in the main page, sometimes in the cooperation page either (http://www.leftlane.pl/wspolpraca/). In the first case (on main page), I do not know why. I have checked if they did not drop into a state button by accident,  moved them among the layers, numbered them from scratch and it did not help. In the cooperation page, the first anchor does not work if it is in Y axle set at 0. If I move it right direction- everything is ok.
    The text frame with background fill does not change text color in overlay state (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html). I mean a source button at the beginning of every text. I would like a dark text and a light layer in a rollover, but  the text after export and moving cursor into it does not change color for some reason.
    I was not sure whether to keep everything (whole website) in one Muse file (but I may be mistaken?). I have decided to divide it into months. Everyone is in a different Muse file. If something goes wrong, I will not have any trouble with an upload of a whole site, which is going to get bigger and bigger.
    The problem is that every file has two master pages. Everything works well up to the moment when I realize how many times I have to make changes in upper menu when I need to add something there. I have already 5 files, every with 2 masters. Is there any way to solve this problem? Maybe something to do with Business Catalyst, where I could connect a menu to every subpage independently, deleting it from Muse file? Doing so I would be able to edit it everywhere from one place. It would make my work much easier, but I have no idea jendak how to do it.
    The comments Disqus do not load, especially at horizontal layouts  (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-concept.html). I have exchanged some mails and screenshots with Disqus help. I have sent them a screenshot where the comments are not loaded, because they almost never load. They have replied that it works at their place even with attached screenshot. I have a hard time to discuss it, because it does not work with me and with my friends either. Maybe you could fix it? I would not like to end up with awful facebook comments ;). The problem is with Firefox on PC and Mac. Chrome, Safari and Opera work ok.
    YouTube movie level layouts do not work well with IE11 and Safari 7 (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/wypadki-drogowe--004.html). The background should roll left, but in the above mentioned browsers it jumps up. Moreover the scrolling with menu dots is not fluent on Firefox, but I guess it is due to Firefox issues? The same layout but in vertical version rolls fluently in Firefox (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/polskie-wypadki--005.html).
    Now, viewing the website on new smartphones and tablets. I know it is not a mobile/tablet layout, but I tried to make it possible to be used on mobile hardware with HD (1280) display. I mean most of all horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2015-hyundai-genesis.html), where If we want to roll left, we need to roll down. Is there a way to make it possible to move the finger the direction in which the layout goes?
    On Android phones (Nexus 4, Android 4.4.2, Chrome 32) the fade away background effect does not work, although I have spent a lot of time over it (http://www.leftlane.pl/lut14/koniec-produkcji-elektrycznego-renault-fluence-ze!.html). It is ok on PC, but on the phone it does not look good. A whole picture moves from a lower layer instead of an edge which spoils everything.
    This layout does not look good on Android (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html#a07). The background does not fill the whole width of a page. There are also problems with a photo gallery, where full screen pictures should fill more of a screen.
    Is it possible to make an option of  scroll effects/motions for a fullscreen slideshow widget thumbnails (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06)? It would help me with designing layouts. Currently, it can go from a bottom of a page at x1 speed or emerge (like in this layout) by changing opacity. Something more will be needed, I suppose.
    Sometimes the pictures from gallery (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06 download very slowly. The website is hosted at Business Catalyst. I cannot state when exactly it happens, most of the time it works ok.
    I really like layouts like this (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a03). On the top is a description and a main text, and the picture is a filled object with a hold set at the bottom edge. That is why there is a nice effect of a filling a whole screen- nevertheless the resolution that is set. It works perfect on PC, but on Android the picture goes beyond the screen. You can do something about it?
    In horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html) holding of a filling object does not work. Everything is always held to upper edge of a screen regardless the settings. Possibility of holding the picture to the bottom edge or center would make my work much easier.
    According to UE regulations we have to inform about the cookies. I do not know how to do it in Muse. I mean, when the message shows up one time and is accepted, there would be no need to show it again and again during another visit on the website. Is there any way to do it? Is there any widget for it maybe?
    The YouTube widget sometimes changes size just like that. It is so when the miniature of the movie does not load, and the widget is set to stroke (in our case 4 pixels, rounded to 1 pixel). As I remember ( in case of a load error) it extends for 8 pixels wide.
    Last but not least - we use the cheapest hosting plan in Business Catalyst. The monthly bandwidth is enough, although we have a lot of pictures and we worried about it at first. Yet we are running out of the disk storage very quickly. We have used more than a half of a 1 GB after a month. We do not want to change BC for a different one, because we like the way it is connected with Muse. But we do not want to buy the most expensive package - but only this one has more disk space. We do not need any other of these functions and it would devastate our budget. Do we have any other option?
    I’m using Adobe Muse 7.2 on OS X 10.9.1.
    and I'm sending Muse file to <[email protected]>

    Unfortunatley, there is no way to get a code view in Muse. I know quite a few people requested it in the previous forum, but not really sure where that ended up. Also, you may not want to bring the html into DW unless you only have 1 or 2 small changes 2 make. Two reasons. First, it isnt backwards compatible, so if you are planning on updating that site in Muse, you will need to make those changes in DW everytime you update. Second, by all accounts the HTML that Muse puts out is not pretty or easy to work with. Unlike you, I am code averse, but there was a lenghty discussion on the previous forum on this topic. I know they were striving to make it better with every release, just not sure where it is at this point.
    Dont think I am reading that second question right, but there was a ton of info on that old site. You may want to take a look there, people posted a ton of great unique solutions, so it worth a look.
    Here is the link to the old forums- http://support.muse.adobe.com/muse
