Selecting the sound output device

Hi, is there any way to select which sound output device to use from an Adobe AIR application? If there is, I can't seem to find it (using either the manual, the forums or Google).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michiel

  • Sound output device on bootcamp

    when i run bootcamp on my mac book pro, sometimes the sound output device keeps changing between speakers and headphones (even if I don't have any plugged in). This is very annoying since you can really do anything with sound without hearing constant skips. Please help! Thank you.

    is nobody going to reply?...

  • Automator - Toggle Sound Output Device

    Hi.
    I have an audio interface with headphone output, and the internal imac speakers. I like to toggle between them very often Right now I have to open system prefs, click on sound, and select the sound output. This is a pain. Ideally, I would like a keyboard shortcut t do this for me, but I can't find a way to do it. I had a play with automator and thought I'd solved it by getting it to record me changing sound output - but it didn't work.
    Can anyone give me some relatively simple instructions on how to make this task feasible?

    edit: (i know it's a 3 year old thread)
    not sure why you would say that automator can't do it. if you can do it with a gui, there is almost certainly a way to do it using automator.  this is what i use for os x to switch to bluetooth (using ifttt to trigger a certain playlist when i'm almost home).
    tell application "System Preferences" to set current pane to pane id "com.apple.preference.sound"
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "System Preferences"
            tell window "Sound"
                click (radio button 2 of tab group 1)
                delay 0.0
                select row 2 of first table of first scroll area of first tab group
                delay 0.0
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
    tell application "System Preferences" to quit

  • Sound output device

    Hello,
    Recently I have been experiencing problems with my sound in my iMac with OS X 10.6.2
    In my sound output device list, I have the following:
    - Headphones (Should be selected)
    - Soundflower (2ch)
    - Soundflower (12ch)
    To hear sound from my iMac speaker or headphone, the Headphone option should be selected. However, everytime I reboot the OS, it go to the soundflower and I have to manually go to system preferences and select the Headphones. I don't even know what the Soundflower is and why it is there. How do I make the "Headphones" as the default selection?
    This has been an issue for the past month or so.

    Soundflower is an audio routing program that emulates an output. It comes in very handy for people like me who use studio monitors through an audio interface as Apple doesn't allow you to adjust the volume on such setups with a keyboard (no idea why, since it works PERFECTLY under Windows 7 on Bootcamp, but I digress). I'm not sure how you installed it by accident, but you can delete it if you don't need it.
    To fix your issue you need to delete the audio preferences file (I forget where it is, hopefully someone can help me out), then select the headphone output again and it should remember your setting.

  • MBP Retina No Sound Output device found

    I use my MBPR with thunderbolt monitor and often use the 'Display Audio' option when plugged into them.  2 days ago, when I unplugged the thunderbolt monitor, there was no longer an 'internal speakers' option in the sound prefs pane.
    It does still show the 'Display Audio' option when plugged into the TB display, however that is the only audio option now, other than any available airplay devices in range.
    I did SMC reset & PRam reset, multiple times to no avail.  I then called apple support and they walked me thru the same things, as well as eventually deleting these 2 plists from the library > prefrences > audio folder:
    com.apple.audio.SystemSettings
    com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings
    This also did not return the audio device to the sound prefs pane.
    I had a friend with the same laptop, same specs, send me his version of those plists, as mine were missing sevral keys that his had.  None of that worked.  Wondering if anyone else has seen their internal audio device disappear on the MBPRs?  I read up on HDMI audio threads, but the their problems seemed to be with MB Air & not very relevant to this problem.
    Thanks.

    Hi-
    Does the G4 make the start up chime?
    In System Preferences/Sound/Output, is the "Mute" button selected? Is the volume set?
    Do you know that the internal speaker worked before you got the G4?
    Have you tried headphones or speakers in the sound output jack?
    If the output jack isn't shown in the preferences, and you have no chime on start up, you may have hardware problems.
    Just for fun, try a PRAM/NVRAM reset:

  • The sound output does not work on my ipod

    Hi There,
    I have an Ipod 4 th generation and the sound output no longer works on any device.  I've reset and reinstalled the software but nothing appears to work?
    Any ideas please?
    Serial number: 9C6463XJV9R
    Thanks Chris

    If none of the 5 R's helped address the issue, it's likely hardware related.

    As to what exactly is damaged/faulty, no there is no certain way to tell.  It could be the iPod's audio chip or something else on the logic board.
    Either way you'll need to have your iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party company.

  • How to use Airport Express as a sound output device

    Guys,
    Is there a way that I can use Airport Express as a sound output device? So, I can play all the sound on my HIFI.
    thanks in advance

    In order to listen to the non-iTunes audio streams through your Airport Express you will need to use the third party software Airfoil.

  • The best output device for iPod?

    Hallo Everybody,
    Somedays ago I have seen an heard the T+A Caruso(http://www.taelektroakustik.de/deu/ta2/caruso/caruso.htm). This was it! Yes! Internetradio, CD and iPod in a perfect Combination of Sound! - and then the cold shower - 1700 Euro not $!
    Who know a ultimative solution under this price?
    DENON S52 is it not! no sound calibration!

    You can connect an iPod to any sound system. So the best "output device for iPod" is the same as the +best output device, period.+
    I'm told you get better sound (for the purpose of feeding into a sound system) if you connect the audio output through the docking connector, instead of from the headphone jack. You get +line level audio out+ like with other audio system components.
    You can do so if you have a Docking Station device with a stereo jack, or if you get a cable like this one.

  • Sound output device problem since 10.6.2 upgrade...

    wHey, I've had a look through some other forums and have found solutions and so on to this problem, which is basically this:
    Since the 10.6.2 Upgrade my sound output device changed from 'Headphones' to 'Soundflower (2ch)'...The three options are as follows on Sound preferences through System Prefs...
    Headphones
    Sondflower (2ch)
    Soundflower (16ch)
    I use external speakers, so headphones is important to me, but everytime I change it back to headphones, the next time I restart the computer it switches back to Soundflower (2ch) ... It's only on my user account as all other accounts are fine, I've reinstalled OS X already, and have even since this problem started, bought a new iMac (no, not just cause of the problem lol)... Done a timemachine restore, yet the same is happening on the new iMac, and it's driving me nuts... I've called Apple Support they suggested reinstalling OS X, I've done just that, but it's still doing it... There must be something I have installed...Any help?
    I'm hoping someone has some sort of Terminal code to switch it to set to 'Headphones' as DEFAULT Output, as there is no such way to do it on Sound preferences.
    Any help greatly appreciated, thanks

    Refer to Apple - Support - Discussions - System does not store my sound preferences or Apple - Support - Discussions - Sound preferences sometimes messed up after boot for removing Soundflower from your Mac.
    However, AFAIK, there is no way to make 'Headphones' the default sound output device, since the switch among built-in audio, headphones, (& optical output on Macs with a dual purpose optical/analog output jack) is controlled by what you do or don't insert into that jack.

  • How do I restore missing sound output device in system preferencces?

    How do I restore a missing sound output device in the System Preferences. My MacBook Pro only shows a Digital output in the Sound pane and a red light at the Digital Output Port.

    If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.

  • Control sound output device

    If I want to change where my sound is piped out, I have to open the Sound preferences>Output and choose Line Out, USB speakers, Digital Out, etc.
    Are there any menu bar widgets that would let me control my sound output device?

    There was such an animal, but I don't know if it's still around or works in SL. You'll need to search at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

    Do you mean the Voice Memo app? Look in a folder called "Other" or search using Spotlight.

  • After upgrading to iOS 5.1, the sound output works abnormally.

    After upgrading to iOS 5.1, the sound output (the 3.5mm output) works correctly only when Apple provided headphones or certain headphones are plugged in. Others cause the iPod to produce sort of phased out sound with lots of digital, low-quality sounding artifacts. Other headphones have no problems since they work fine when plugged into my MacBook.
    Anyone having similar problems? Solutions?

    Could be due to a defective headhone jack in the iPod that just coinsided with the iOS update.
    However, to rule out a software cause, try the following.
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Can I put ALL the sound output from my iMac through Airport?

    Just got Airport Express, and managed to install it very quickly on my existing Belkin network. Just don't forget the $ before your WEP key.
    Does anyone know if its possible to put ALL the sound output from my iMac through to Airport, rather than just iTunes? So internet radio, streaming videos etc?

    Thanks matey - that's just what I was after.
    Not sure if that will also let me put my iMac's system sounds through my HiFi - probably not - but then who in their right mind could possibly want to...?
    (Be nice if you could though)
