Skype and Audio Interface problems

I am using skype with a usb audio interface for muiltple microphones.  The problem is skype will only recongnize one microphone port, instead of all of the microphone ports in the interface.  Is there a work around for this?

Not that I'm aware of.  You'd have to treat the situation as if you didn't have multiple inputs on that device.  1.  Joining inputs or separating them using an analog/physical toggle/patch.2,  Joining inputs or separating them using additional software like Virtual audio cable though this can add unwanted delays.

  • Firewire and audio interface problem, please help

    Hi all
    I'm not being lazy, i've spent hours trawling through forums and google trying to find a fix but cant so hope someone here can help.
    Basically, I've been using my Macbook for Logic Studio with an audio interface (Motu 8pre). This was connected via firewire 400 to firewire 400 and worked absolutely fine no problems.
    I've recently got a Mac Pro. I've installed Logic onto it, my Motu 8pre driver etc etc and noticed that the firewire socket on the Mac Pro is different. I've been on the Motu website and quite clearly they say that a firewire 400 to firewire 800 cable will work fine with modern macs (this can be seen in more detail at bottom right of this web page http://www.motu.com/products/motuaudio/8pre
    I've bought one of these cables and plugged them into my interface and Mac Pro respectively, switched on the device as i have been doing for the past year with my Macbook, but the MacPro just wont seem to recognise it.
    How can I get this interface to work with my Mac Pro?
    I've tried connecting to different ports on back and front, restarting machine but it just wont work.
    Am I missing something simple here?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance

    Ok its official I AM a muppet.
    Went onto motu site again and noticed they released an update driver for snow leopard. Downloaded it and it works fine.
    Fixed.
    Thanks

  • Logic and audio interface issues. help!

    Hey guys
    I recently bought a small budget recording studio, My first one so bare with the newbie questions and I'm having diffucties with the setup I believe.
    I connected my midi keyboard to my computer that had Midi in/out from the keyboard via USB Midi interface to the computer. That was all cool. The computer was seeing it and in Logic was telling me signals were coming into logic.
    I then connected my Edirol audio interface ( FA-66 ) 6in/6out. to the computer via Firewire. Midi setup in utlilities sees the device. And that's good right?
    I then used stereo jacks to connect the audio interface to my studio monitors. I played a song in itunes music is coming through the speakers, great!
    Now off to the problem, finally. The reason I got the audio capture device is so that I can record Vocals and guitars, but the thing is when I connect my Mic and guitar to the device no sound in coming into logic, eventhough I can play the guitar clean through my monitor speakers. Very strange. I see 6 input/output channels in logic so it sees the edirol. So if i set Input 2 in logic and put the guitar in inputjack 2 the signal doesn't get through.
    Am I supposed to intertwine the Midi keyboard and audio interface together? If so how is that done? Can anybody help?
    Thanks for baring with the newbie!

    Don't go beating yourself up... you'll rob the trolls of their only pleasure.
    It's like you said: you're new. We were all new once.
    Glad you're up and running... let's hear some music.

  • IPad2 - Midi and Audio interfaces / Camera Kit

    iPad2 question I have Midi and Audio interfaces, specifically Edirol UM-880 for Midi and Edirol UA-5 for Audio. If I get an Apple Camera Connection Kit, will they work with my iPad2

    Check out the iRig:

    It will connect "any" MIDI device to an iPad/iPhone.
    (i don't have this--yet. I'm just using a USB powered keyboard with a powered USB hub with my iPad.)

  • Profire2626 Audio interface problems

    Hi All:
    Just purchased MACbook Pro + Profire262 Audio Interface + Logic Express 9.
    I have been at this for approx 5days in an attempt to get this M.Audio interface working.
    No GO....Nada!
    I have checked the connections multiple times, all looks fine.
    I have reviewed post outlined in link below...its a bit muddled.
    http://forums.m-audio.com/showthread.php?26161-Profire-2626-Not-detected-at-
    However, in Logic, I've selected audio interface. From the profire mixer I've selected output 1+2, connected audio cables to power amp from Audio interface+ cables from amp to spkrs.
    Played a sample song in Logic, NO audio out via the Audio interface, Audio is Fine via headphones from MACbook Pro and audio interface.
    This is a huge investment and I'm a bit mystified as to why the above components are not working.
    In addition, steps outlined in the above link seems to be the solution, tried a few options, but, nothing as yet.
    Some assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, just go to maudio.com -drivers downloads and check out their post : M-Audio as yet DOESNT HAVE drivers for latest 10.6.7 Mac OS X Leopard. Their Fast Track Pro didnt work (on output )on previous version also.I got newest IMac 27"- Fas track doesnt work on Mac, on my Windows Vista PC laptop - works just fine. Forget the M-Audio for Mac. My Alesis USB mixer/interface on Mac gives me high pitch noise- can`t get rid of ! On PC Vista laptop- clean, good sound. Before buying audio interface check compatibility really good. Good luck.

  • Thunder Bolt to Monitor and Firewire to Audio Interface Problem

    Hello. I just purchased 2 studio monitors for producing. I have a audio interface connected from my firewire plug on my 15 inch mabook pro, which are going out to my speakers. Thats all fine, but whenever I plug in my thunderbolt to hdmi adapter going to my other computer screen, it makes a really annoying buzzing sound. I can like hear all the buzzing and sounds inside my computer hard drive or something, its weird. Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Studzik,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    Ummm ---- given that you have a G5, maybe it's better that you post this is the iMac G5 section of the discussions (this is the flat panel iMac G4 section that you have posted in). That way, you have a greater chance of a G5 iMac user familiar with your issue picking it up and being able to help you.
    All the best, hope you find a solution.
    Cheers!

  • Hard-drive and audio interface set-up - Advice please

    Hello,
    Please offer me some advice if you can. I have the new 13" macbook pro 2.26Ghz with Logic Studio. I am going to get a hard-drive that has both usb and firewire 800 interfaces and need to decide whether to get a usb or firewire audio interface. The crux of my problem is in what configuration to use the devices, which will determine which audio interface I choose. E.g.
    1. Firewire 800 hard-drive to record tracks onto and back-up + usb audio interface; or
    2. Firewire 800 hard-drive as above + firewire 400 audio interface daisy-chained; or
    3. Record onto the internal hard-drive and use a usb audio interface; or
    4. Record onto the internal hard-drive and use a firewire 400 interface.
    FYI, the audio interfaces I'm looking at are the E-Mu 0404 USB or Focusrite Saffire LE, both of which have had excellent reviews.
    Questions to consider, please, are: Which configuration will offer the best performance and least latency? Is it worth recording onto external hard-drive (7,200) or will the internal drive (5,200) be faster/as fast? Will daisy-chaining cause a significant drop in performance? Do you have any alternative configuration suggestions? Plus any other comments you can think of.
    Thank you in advance
    Jamie

    The good thing about #2, if the drive enclosure also has a USB 2.0 interface you have the option of using/trying that configuration as well. I know a few that get away with using USB drives for recording.
    Make sure the audio drive is formatted Mac OS Extended, with Journaling OFF.
    Don't trust the drive formatting as it's delivered.

  • M-Box audio interface problem

    My M-box audio interface does not show up in the audio in/out preferences for my audio applications. I have to boot up the computer while it is plugged in (via USB) in order for it to show up and function. I have tested the USB cable and other USB devices work in both ports, ruling out a problem with USB ports. Any idea?
    Thank you

    I can't get it to work with itunes, or any program that outputs sound
    For that to happen you also have to open the Sound panel in *System Preferences* and designate your Tascam as the output (and input-) device.
    On the 'audio midi setup' in utilities (under applications in finder), it has the device listed, but doesn't necessarily say it is connected...
    If it isn't connected, it won't show up in AMS. so if it shows up, it's connected.
    The device comes with its own application called 'FW-1804 manager', which does detect it when it is connected and on. A little green light appears on this program to show that audio is enabled.
    Have you investigated that Program thoroughly?
    The device has 12 outputs, 8 of which are adat, 2 spdif, then the 2 main analogue outputs. It doesn't say which is which in the list of outputs within 'audio midi setup', it just numbers them 1 to 12.
    Here your Tascam manual should shed light on what is what. Or you may have to assign those in the control software.
    The levels by each output slider are all set to 0 and are greyed out and unchangeable, whereas when the output is set to 'built in output', the faders are available to adjust.
    Yes, those only appear with built in audio - that's normal. You have to set the sliders in the control program.
    Does this mean that the output routing is incorrectly set up, or something along those lines? I'm pretty sure it should work, it says it is leopard and intel mac compliant.
    Yes, probably.
    And it does still work with the PC, leading me to believe i just need to change some settings?
    Yep.
    Could it be anything to do with the fact that it is a FW-400 device, with a 6 pin connection, and I am using a 6 - 9 pin cable to connect it to the FW-800 bus on the mac?
    No. If the cable was faulty, it would not have shown up in the AMS utility.

  • Firewire Audio interface problems in Windows XP

    I am a happy user of boot camp with Windows XP and have up til now not had any problems. I have two firewire devices, one hard drive, one audio interface. The hard drive has both firewire 400 and 800 connectivity and works perfectly using both. But I have just recently purchased a Mackie Onyx Satellite audio interface which must use firewire 400.
    I follow the driver instructions and everything appears to install correctly. The device is found and shows in the device manager. But, the firewire indicator fails to light up on the device itself, and I have not be able to get any audio through the device.
    Please can someone help me! I am assuming it cant be the firewire connection itself because my hard drive works and the audio interface is at least found by windows.
    I have got the newest driver version from Mackies website too. I have made sure I have the msot up to date version of boot camp also.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you very much in advance

    Hi there-
    I initially bought the Alesis IO26 for my macbook but had so many problems with the interface that I returned it and bought a MOTU Traveler, which solved my problems. Too bad, as the Alesis unit was very nice and half the cost of the Traveler. Please note that many people have had problems with audio running Windows on a Macbook (see the threads on cracks and pops). The jury is still out on who the culprit is (Boot Camp, Drivers, Wireless, etc.) so hang in there. Hopefully, someone at Apple cares about this.

  • Help! audio interface problems

    I dont think this is just a logic problem but my audio interface keeps on stuttering and stopping, especially when using logic. Sometimes the time bar will be moving but there will be no sound then if i stop it might play a stutter or snippet of sound. There is no problem when listening through the laptop speakers. This has started happening with i tunes also.
    interface= tascam us-122
    If anyone can help that'd be great as it is really holding me back.
    Buffer is set to 1024, cant find more recent drivers.

    Hi,
    I found this inside the installer package:
    "This is version 3.4.0 of the Mac OS X Driver for the TASCAM US-122. The version you are installing requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 ("Panther") or later. This version is also compatible with Intel-based Macintosh computers using Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later."
    Note: Be sure to disconnect your US-122 from your computer before continuing with this installer!
    It looks like maybe...the revision for Mac OS 10.4.9 and later, in which Apple changed the FW and also maybe the USB stuff, might be the issue.
    If you have the time and inclination, I would try to install the Mac Os up to 10.4.4 and see if it works there... it's a bummer, but as I understand it, they no longer support this hardware anyways... so if you really have to use it, this might be the way to go.
    Cheers

  • Audio Interface: problems of recognising

    Hello there!
    I'm Leonardo, from Brazil. I'm new in the forum and it's a pleasure to be part of this community.
    I'm experiencing connection problems between Leopard and the Behringer UCG102 (Guitar Link) audio interface. It was working perfectly, and the MacBook use to recognise the interface as "Behringer USB" in the "Audio & Midi Settings".
    About a month ago, the Mac simply don't recognise the interface as "Behringer USB" anymore, and now the only thing Leopard shows is "USB CODEC" in the place of "Behringer USB".
    The interface is working (e.g. when I use with Garage Band), but the problem is that the softwares that I use (Guitar Rig, ReValver) aren't working as they use to.
    I've tried to reinstall the Leopard 10.5.2 that came with the Mac. The interface still shows "USB CODEC". After I upgraded to 10.5.3, and 10.5.4, and it remains with "USB CODEC".
    Does anybody knows the answer for this?
    Thanks a lot!
    Leonardo.

    Still having problem.
    Does anybody know what I should do?

  • M-Audio Firewire 410 Audio Interface Problem!

    I was just wondering if anyone out there has had the same trouble as I have with my 410 Audio Interface.
    I have a brand spankin' new iMac G5 recieving July 27th, 2005, and a pair of Behringer Truth B2031A Studio Monitors, and then of course my M-Audio 410.
    The problem I am having is that my speakers are picking up noises the G5 is making, how do I explain. It appears as if the speakers were picking up the power consumption changes and amplifying them. Whenever I move my mouse, or use expose or use an application, my speakers just make noises related to the CPU's performance.
    I replaced the speakers, bought new cables, exchanged the M-Audio interface 2 times and am using my 3rd box and the problem still consists.
    Another problem I have is, when I power everything off, the M-Audio Interface still recieves power, therefore blinking it's extremly bright blue LED all night long. (Which isn't supposed to happen).
    If anyone knows any solutions, or had the same problem, Help!!

  • Ipad2 : Skype and Audio Recording using Audiomemo

    I use the iPad version of Skype and record on-line university tutorials with the "audiomemo" app.  Until recent upgrades I was able to do this. I now can't.  Has Apple recently placed an "inhibitor" that causes Skype 'phone calls to close down when another audio application is being used? Audiomemo tell me that they have not. Skype, tell me too that they haven't (albeit on the iPad it works using their iPhone version!). Hmmm.

    No MBox, but I just patch my turntable into a phono preamp I bought at Radio Shack about 25 years ago (in order to have RIAA equalization) and the preamp outs into your interface and you can record like normal.
