Setting default audio output in itunes

When I open iTunes 7.0.1, it changes my audio output preferences to a USB headset I have plugged into my computer (and which I prefer to keep plugged in at all times for using Skype). Is there any way to make iTunes default to the regular line out, built in audio, without disconnecting my headset? Every time I open iTunes now, I have to reset the system audio preferences to line out.
Thanks for any advice
Bill

I figured out my problem. I have a plug-in called iWow installed in iTunes, and it was opening defaulted to headset sounds. Back to normal

  • Is there a way to have Firefox respect the default audio output device when it has been changed while Firefox is open?

    I have been a Firefox user for many years and I still use it as my primary browser. One problem that has bothered me for years is the fact that when Firefox is open and I change my default audio output device, Firefox doesn't respect that change and continues playing audio through the device that was originally being used. Even if you stop the audio and continue playing, the output device doesn't change.
    Is there any way this can be configured in Firefox? Now if I listen to music online (e.g. Soundcloud) I always use Chrome since it's respects the default audio output device change even while in the middle of playing audio.
    Reproduce:
    1. Start playing audio (e.g. from a YouTube video; HTML5 and Flash are affected)
    2. Change your default audio output device
    3. Audio will continue to play from original output device
    Thanks!

    This is the same issue that has plagued me for years. I always thought that this was a Flash plugin issue, but it does occur on HTML5 as well. A friend of mine verified that this does not occur in Linux, but only on Windows. It would be great to have this fixed, as it's honestly the only thing that's making me use Chrome all the time, as I don't want to have multiple browsers open.

  • MOTU 828Mk3 & Logic Pro's default audio outputs

    Hello people! Well, I received my MOTU 828Mk3 a couple of days ago and am very pleased with it so far, sonically much better than the Mk2 however I'm slightly frustrated with the default audio out in logic pro. The 828 is set-up fine with the default audio out set to master out, itunes etc all work fine but within logic pro the default output is analog 1-2, the master outputs are 9-10. So every-time I create a new project I have to select 9-10 as the output, I can live with that but if you drag any samples/loops into a project the output of the new track defaults to analog 1-2, bit of a pain. So my question is - Is there any way you can tell logic to use a default pair of outputs?
    Cheers
    Paul

    You should be able to set the main outputs to be 1 and 2 in the MOTU setup app. I've done that with my 896mk3 and it works as expected. It just means that the outputs 1-8 on the unit are actually 3-10 in Logic.

  • Can you redirect the audio output of iTunes via Apple TV?

    I currently have iTunes running on Windows XP with an Airport Express connected to my home stereo. I toggle the iTunes audio between my PC and the Airport Express via the iTunes speaker setting. With Apple TV, will I be able to toggle the audio output from the Apple TV interface?
    Thanks,
    Chaaad

    No, you can use AppleTV like an Express to have audio playing in iTunes relayed to it, but you can't play something on AppleTV and direct the output to the Express.

  • Set default audio device?

    Prior to installing OSX Yosemite, the system audio output would be automatically switched to my USB audio device as soon as it was plugged in and detected by the OS.  In Yosemite, I have to manually switch the output from Internal Speakers to the USB device.
    Is there a way to force the setting to change on its own, as it did before? 

    Hello
    I do not want to hard wire the Ipod HIFI. I understand that if I used the line out feature the system would recognize the device. I would like the system to recognize a remote speaker connected by wireless network and to accept this remote speaker as the default audio device. Not likely but should be an option.
    Cheers

  • How to set default sound output

    How do I set the default sound output?  I'm outputting to a USB converter but Mavericks switches to internal speakers on its own with no warning, most times in the middle of a song. Doesn't matter whether I'm using iTunes or a 3rd party music playback app.

    I too have the same setup as you and use my streamer with all of my Apple devices. I've found it necessary to turn off Bluetooth in the devices I don't want to connect to when they are all within range of one another. If you don't need Bluetooth on your Mac turn it off. I've also found that if I'm connected to my Mac and a call comes in to my iPhone that the phone will take priority.

  • Set default audio track for playback in Source monitor

    So I'm an editor that is somewhat new to the profession and I am working on a project right now with close to 100 video clips in my project. Most of the clips have their audio recorded to track 2 but when I load the clips into the source window to find the footage asked for in my script there is no audio playback.
    They play fine in the program monitor once placed in a timeline, because I have all the audio tracks are turned on until I do my mastering at the end of the project. To get audio playback in the source monitor I have to change the view option to audio waveform which shows a blank screen because there is no audio on track. I then go to the drop-down menu just below the video display and select track 2 at which point the audio waveform shows up and plays back fine. This isn't too arduous a process and isn't a great burden but it slows my workflow down considerably as I have to repeat the process for each new clip I load into the source monitor.
    My question then is if there is anywhere in Premiere that I can set which audio track is the default audio playback track for clips loaded in the source monitor. I work on a lot of similar projects like this for the same client and they don't have the most rigorous standards for their shooters. This problem has come up before and will most assuredly arise again in the future so any tips/advice on how to fix this on my end would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I'm not really sure.I don't do any shooting for the client and in fact don't have any contact with the shooters, we just do the post. They use a number of different freelance videographers all of whom have different equipment and procedures when it comes to formatting, orginization, etc.

  • How to set preferred audio output device on macbook pro mavericks

    I've got a pair of Harman Kardon bluetooth soundsticks that I use as my living room speakers. Some time ago, I connected my macbook pro to them via bluetooth, and now whenever I restart my macbook or move it away from the apartment and then move it back, it automatically finds the soundsticks, connects to it via bluetooth, and sets it as the default sound output device.
    I would like the soundsticks to remain connected whenever they're within range, but I want my macbook's internal speakers to be the default sound output even if the soundsticks are connected. I can't seem to set output device preferences in the sound preferences panel.
    thanks,

  • Default audio output has switched

    having only recently upgraded to tiger (yeah yeah i know i'm late) i have noticed that my internet browsers and also realplayer defaults to playing audio out of "built in audio" output and when i switch it back to my firewire 410 output it doesnt work.
    is there some OS related pref that i need to alter to get my browsers to recognise my audio interface? i dont know for sure that it is moving to Tiger that has done this but it seems likely as it never did anything like that prior to the upgrade...
    any ideas?

    thats the problem though, coz everytime i click it back to my firewire 410 in system prefs/sound/output i get no signal!
    it only outputs from the default mac output, which means i either listen through that tiny speaker on the front, or have to run a mini jack out of that socket back into my desk.
    the sound is awful though, really noisy and clipped. sounds like it was run through logics bitcrusher a couple of times..

  • Setting two audio outputs

    Hi there,
    Is it possible to set audio output to two sources simultaneously? I use Bose speakers as front speakers - these use an USB connection - and another set of cheaper speakers as rear speakers - these connect into the "headphone" hole. Is there a way to make my Macbook source the sound into both at the same time rather than selecting one or the other (under System Preferences / Sound)?

    With Audio Hijack Pro

    you can hijack the audio from one application (or the system audio) and use Auxiliary Device Output effects to send the audio to additional output devices.

  • Set default analog output in MAX

    Hi,
    I would like to set a default value (e.g. 10V) to my analog output of my NI6251 card. The current value is (I assume) 0 V.
    Is there a way to change the default value without using labview?
    Many thanks

    I'm pretty sure you can't set the default analog output of a DAQ card to something other than 0V even using LabVIEW.  When the device powers up it will reset and set all outputs to an inert state which is a good thing for safety conserns.  
    I'd recommend you redesign your system so it too uses this standard of using the inert state of a startup condition.  What kind of system do you have that you want the off state to be 10V?

  • How to set correct audio output while using external screen for presentation purposes over a wire

    while trying to make a presentation or simply playing a video from my MacBookAir over thunderbolt/HDMI table to large screen I am experiencing problems with audio only being played from the MBA and not the soundsystem built in to that screen (unless using a VLS application and manually selecting the audio output target).
    Please help in finding how to steer audio output device  using 2in1 cable such as thunderbolt?

    Hi jar9,
    If you are not hearing audio over your HDMI/Thunderbolt connection, you may want to see if it is showing up as a selectable audio output as outlined in the following article:

  • How do I set the default audio output for all users

    Here's the story. I have a Mac Pro in a classroom that is connected to the audio system via the digital (Toslink) output. The systems are bound to AD and OD with some minor management being performed via MCX (printers, login, etc...)
    When a new user authenticates to the system the output defaults to the internal speakers not the Digital Out.
    My assumption was that I could configure default 0 key in the com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist to AppleHDAEngineOutput:1B,0,1,4:2, which is the digital output.
    However it seems that new users are still generated with the Internal Speakers which is AppleHDAEngineOutput:1B,0,1,2:0.
    Is there somewhere else that I can configure that default such that all users will default to the Digital Out, AppleHDAEngineOutput:1B,0,1,4:2? Or am I perhaps not configuring the SystemSettings plist correctly?
    Most of these tasks were previously taken care of by another technician but he has left and I'm quickly trying to pickup the slack for configuration of our Macintosh environment.
    Thanks,

    If you can figure out how to add the printer name, this can be used to lock the margins.

  • HT204388 how to make mac mini selecting hdmi (amp) for default audio output

    I currently have to go in system preferences sound option output and select hdmi (my sound system amp) at every single startup. how can i get my mac to use it as default. thanks

    Long shot, but...
    Next time you start up...
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

  • Setting Default Audio Channels on a multi-channel interface

    Does anyone know how to set the default output channels for QT to anything other than the first 2 channels on a multi-channel interface (in my case a MOTU 828mkII)? I use the digital outputs on my interface, and this works fine wih every other app apart from QT (I select the motu in Audiomidi Setup, and then use the device driver to set the appropriate default output channels). I can do it in QT on a movie by movie basis using the Movie Properties pane, but this is irritating, and I want to set digital outputs as the default so QT sound files in a browser play back through the correct channels of the interface.
    Thanks if you can help,

    The mic is mono. It only records on one channel. Rather than double the sound you can center it. Edit into the timeline only the track of audio with the mic. Select the audio in the timeline and press Control-period to center pan the sound.
