Skype playing computer sounds through call.

When im using skype and have any program thats playing noise (youtube, itunes etc.) the sounds from those programs play over skype. This has happened on the same computer with both Mac and Windows (boot camp on macbook pro). I've looked in windows and where it shows my mic even with it muted it its picking up sound, which I would assume is from something running (again youtube, itunes, etc.). I'm using Turtle Beach X12's as my headset and using the mic on that and not the built in one.

Skype shares system sounds through call

Hia guys, whenever I have a call on skype with someone, it shares the sounds that are played on my macbook directly to the person on the other side of that call whether it's system sounds a youtube video or a videogame.
This requires me, to mute myself whenever something is done that produces sound.
I've pushed every button, unchecked every box, but i'm still clueless on how to turn this off.
Hope I can find the help I need here, as the almighty google has failed me so far...
Regards,
Mink

Playing QuickTime sound through AirPort Speakers?

Ive just set up my new speakers with AirPort Express, and it works great with AirTunes. However, is there a way to send all computer sound through the speakers, EG, sound from QuickTime and normal computer noises like new mail alerts?
Im sure i posted this before and there was a solution, but the thread is gone.
*nathan

i'm using the ap express as a streaming audio device. to my dismay...while viewing a music video and Commander In Chief, the audio did NOT stream to my stereo.
according to the support apple gives, APE doesn't support streaming audio other than that which is going through AirTunes. in other words...no quicktime, etc.
i tried AirFoil, and found it profoundly disapppointing. the audio lag was far too great to ignore. in my estimation, it's unusable.
all of this being said, i'm at a loss. i want to watch the movies i've downloaded from the music store and those which i have taken with my own camera on my computer and have the audio stream to my stereo. it seems intuitive that if it's playing through iTunes, that the quicktime video would stream also...but that's not the case.
if anyone has any further input, i would greatly appreciate it....and i'll post more if i learn anymore.

Apple TV plays some sounds through computer speakers

Hi all,
Very strange...when I am in Apple TV, connected to the TV through HDMI, if I am in YouTube, for example, and I am doing a search and clicking around the alphabet to enter a search word, some sounds come from the mac speakers (which are right beside the TV) and some come from the TV. It like if I arrow right, it comes from the computer and if I arrow left, it comes from the TV speakers. Very odd.
ANy ideas?

Has anyone figured this out? I bought this digital-to-audio (DAC) at Amazon: http://amzn.to/T8dmtR - the most expensive/best review one given that I didn't want to deal with the headaches the cheaper ones had. Here's what it can and can't do:
I can use it to play music through my Apple TV (3rd gen) just fine when using Airplay, HOWEVER the first ten seconds are an incredibly horrifying output of high-decible static. The way around this is to disconnect the cables when first playing music, wait ten seconds, then connect. I can control the volume through the Mac/iOS device, but everything is at bottom one-fourth of the volume setting, without much control. It works fine enough.
As for using Apple TV to watch movies, forget it. There's no way to control volume, and the minimum volume is way too loud. It seems a receiver is required, as people with home stereo systems have no problem at all.
A guy in this blogged used another DAC model, but not sure if he's the only one that got it to work: http://blog.jcarter.ca/?p=754
Anyone successfully connect Apple TV to computer speakers yet? It'd be ideal if the same solution applied to a TV with optical output.

Gaps while playing AC3 Sound through SPDIF on KT6-Delta FISR

Hi everybody,
I'm one of those lucky guys with a KT6-Delta FISR Board :D equipped with the C-Media 9739A OnBoard Soundchip and a S-Bracket from my old K7T266 Pro2 ( MS-6380 ) mainboard.
It works great. The only problem is, when I try to play
AC3-encoded Sound directly through SPDIF there are irregular gaps ( length = about half a second ) where no signal reaches my hifi system. Playing normal PCM-encoded Sound works fine, just AC3 is the problem.
I have the latest driver, the latest bios, the latest chipset driver from via & the latest Windows XP Prof. updates. :]
I also tried different AC3 Filters ( from WinFast DVD, PowerDVD and the free ac3filter ) and a fresh WinXP Prof. installation. But nothing worked.
Always these stupid gaps. ;(
The mysterious thing is: With my old MB and an extra pci soundcard with C-Media CMI8378 Chipset and optical SPDIF it works great.
Yeah, I know I could use the old one, but the KT6 OnBoard chip has some benefits :]
Some information about my system:
- Athlon XP1800@1800(133x11,5) ( Palomino Core )
- Cooling: Copper Silent 2 TC by Arctic Cooling
- Enermax power supply ( +3,3V/35A, +5V/44A, +12V/15A)
- NVidia GeForce TI4600 from Leadtek ( i forgot: latest driver )
- Western Digital WD1200JB HDD (120GB,7200 RPM,8MB Cache )
- RAM: 256 MB PC2100, CL2 by Apacer
- Home-theatre system: Sony STR-KSL5 ( dts,dolby digital/pro logic II, digital cinema sound, 2x optical digital input, 1x coaxial digital input )
- Connection between PC and hifi system: optical
Has anyone the same problem or maybe a solution or a suggestion ? Would be nice then, when he or she posts it here )

A little mistake: The S-Bracket is from the KT4 Ultra FISR - Board ( MS-6590 ), sorry for that
@osnavi:
I don't know whether it's okay or not. I just thought, the S-Bracket is just a cable extension of the onboard pin-connector ( means: there are no necessary parts in it - except the current-optical coverter for optical out - and the whole functionality is on the board ).
Have you any idea, whether there's another S-Bracket for the KT6 series ?
@maesus:
I've tested all latest available drivers ( both from www.cmedia.com.tw and from MSI via LiveUpdate3 ). All of them produced this gap.
Both drivers where tested with Coax out and Optical out.
I also tried to increase the PCI Latency in BIOS to give the sound chip more time for using the bus and therefore more time to transfer data. It didn't work, too.
I will now try the following:
- decreasing the FSB to 100 MHz ( just an idea , maybe it helps )
- installing a generic ac'97 audio driver (in case something like this exists )
- well, bang my head on my hifi system
Any suggestions are still welcomed )

Lost sound from onboard games and youtube, skype and computer sounds ok. Presario CQ61

This happened after I installed the last Vista updates from microsoft. Both sound drivers say they're ok when I run dxdiag. Mixer at 100% No sound in two browsers, and dvd's have no sound either. Would a system restore be the way to go, or can I just reverse an update without doing the whole computer? Thanks in advance for the info

try this.

My Iphone 4s says connected to TV and will not let me watch any videos on Safari, and only plays sound through the device. I have not messed with the settings, and have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It's update is IOS 6.1.3

I have an Iphone 4S and It won't let me watch videos on my safari, which I do everyday. It says that I am connectef to a tv, yet I have not connected it to a tv during the entire time i've owned this product. I have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It plays the sound through the device, but it will not play the video at all. the update is IOS 6.1.3

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

Mac will not play sound through JBL Bluetooth speaker

My MacBook Pro will connect to the Bluetooth speaker, but refuses to play the sound through it. Seems like it isnt just me who has this issue. What can I do to connect it? Please help.
Note: It works fine with other devices.

UPDATE: Fixed this by simply disconnecting the speaker, turning the volume up full then reconnecting. Saw it on another post, didnt think it would work but surprisingly it did. Very Strange.

Microphone transmitting computer sounds

My laptop has recently started transmitting all computer sounds through the microphone. I don't mean like game or video noises. I mean the actual computer sounds. The fan coming on to cool the unit makes a loud whirring noise and that transmits through the microphone as a loud "WHIIRRRR" noise. It makes high pitched screeching noises frequently, and starts to give random feedback loop noises of high pitched squeeks and beeps over and over until someone talks to make it stop, but even then it sometimes doesn't stop. It makes significantly less noise when teh computer is not cooling itself and I'm not doing much on it. How do I get this to stop?
Things I've tried:
- Turning the microphone sensitivity down on the computer itself and on skype
- Reinstalling skype
- using a cooling fan underneath the computer to help cool it off so the fan won't run so much but that didn't help at all
Should I just buy an external mic and drop this crappy internal one? Am I stuck with this without an expensive repair of some sort?

Three beeps usually indicate bad/faulty RAM or RAM slots. Have you tried with different RAM?

No sound through headphones on iMac

Today, when I turned on my iMac running Lion 10.7.5 I discovered that there was no sound coming through the headphones. I have tried multiple headphones and it still doesn't work. When I plug the headphones in it stops playing the sound through the internal speakers but no sound is coming through the headphones. When I try to change the volume(when the headphones are plugged in) all the white bars are full as if it was on full volume but the volume won't change and underneath there is a white circle with a line through it(the no-entry sign) I believe it is a software issue as the computer recognises that something is plugged in but it won't play the sound. In system preferences in the sound section it is always on internal speakers, there is no option to change it even when I plug in the headphones. I am confused as to what the issue is so has anyone had this problem before? And did you overcome this issue?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Andy,
Long shot, but...
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.

Surround sound through HDMI?

All the new Mac models released in the past 12 months are supposed to be able to output multichannel audio through an HDMI connector. I have recently purchased a new MiniMac with an HDMI connector and was really looking forward to playing multichannel sound through one of my two Onkyo home theatre amplifiers. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. For one of the amplifiers (Onkyo TR SX576), the Audio Midi Setup application found an 8-channel device and named it TR SX576, but I was unable to get any sound played through the system.
For the other one, a slightly older model (TR SX506), which has a Samsung LCD attached, the Audio Midi Setup just reports HMDI (0in/2out) with "SAMSUNG" as the name. I can't output via the amplifier... it seems to just pass the audio though.
So, here's a simple question. Is there anyone who has succeeding in outputting multichannel sound via an HDMI cable to a home theatre amplifier? If so, what Mac, what amplifier? What is missing to allow Macs to talk with all home theatre amps via HDMI??

Hi levelg
levelg wrote:
Great. The only problem is that when I define 8channel sound, the amplifier doesn't do any surround sound processing, and so virtually everything that I can play on the Mac only comes out of two speakers . To get surround sound effects (Pro Dolby etc), I have to revert to 2ch-24bit and allow the amp to do the surround effects.
This reminds me of another question. Why on earth can't the Mac's Audio allow you to add surround sound processing directly?
I think the answer to your question is that using the HDMI would require the Mac to have an AC3 codec, which would take up to 6 channels of audio and then compress them into a Pro Dolby data stream which your amp could then decode. (This is actually the reverse of the "AC3 Codecs" that you might find available for download on the web). I believe that this software component would require a separate licence fee, and also might not work sufficiently fast in real time to avoid lip sync problems. It could also result in severe quality degradation in certain channels due to the amount of compression. You can't squeeze 6 channels into 2 and then back again without losing some quality along the way.
The result of this is that HDMI and TOSLINK connections from the Mac can play prerecorded surround sound from a DVD, etc, since this can be passed to the external decoder unchanged, but can't play audio generated on the fly by applications. (At least, that's what I've found - someone else might know differently)
I know from personal experience that it IS possible to buy an external USB 5.1 sound card to connect to a 5.1 audio system, and this will enable on the fly audio generation from applications. The same setup will also play surround sound DVDs, provided you use the alternative VLC DVD player.
All in all, the whole area of surround sound on Macs is extremely confusing! I'm worried that many users either buy the wrong equipment, or they buy the right equipment but then can't figure out the correct way to configure it. Such users inevitably end up frustrated and disappointed.

How to pause, stop, play a sound that is loaded from the other .swf file?

Pause and Resume external SWF sound files
I have this code that plays the sound through linkage. It reside in scene1.fla -> scene1.swf.
var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc",1);
var myLoop:Sound = new Sound(mc);
myLoop.attachSound("bg_sound");
myLoopVolume=0;
myLoop.setVolume(myLoopVolume);
mc.onEnterFrame = function () {
    if (fadeIn01==1) {
        _root.myLoop.setVolume(myLoopVolume);
        myLoopVolume=myLoopVolume+5;
        if (myLoopVolume>50) {
            fadeIn01=0;
    if (fadeOut01==1) {
        myLoop.setVolume(myLoopVolume);
        myLoopVolume=myLoopVolume-1;
        if (myLoopVolume<5) {
            _root.myLoop.setVolume(10);
           // _root.myLoop.stop("myLoop01");
            fadeOut01=0;
fadeIn01=1;
myLoop.start(0,999);
The problem goes like this. I want to pause the sound from playing in scene1.fla -> scene1.swf in anytime I want, through my main.fla -> main.swf that loads the scene1 movie. I got stuck.

you need to use the path from the timeline that contains the controlling code and myLoop. you can always use trace(this) on both timelines (the one containing the controlling code and the one containing myLoop) to determine the correct path.
