[Solved] Sound with ALSA and PulseAudio at the same time?

Hi, I am using arch linux to play Counter Strike on.
While it works fine and all, I just don't get any sound in CS because I am using Mangler, which only seems to work with my microphone if I use PulseAudio.
I hope this is a rather simple issue, basicly, I just want to enable sound in PulseAudio and ALSA at the same time, is this possible?

I have read that PulseAudio decreases sound quality, and therefore I would not like to use this as a systemwide driver, but rather only where it is needed.
Please correct me if I am wrong
Edit:
Ok, sound quality isn't noticeably worse, so this will do. HOWEVER, while I am in Counter Strike my sound is delayed by ~1 second, and it is therefore useless, any thoughts on that matter?
Edit again .. Solved this time:
I set my ALSA plugin in winecfg to "Hardware Acceleration: Emulation" - that seemed to do the trick.

Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time

Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time? Sometimes I cannot get the wireless to work, it seems to be my laptop. It would be nice if I could use the usb, but it doesn't work. What should / can I do, if anything?
Sam

Hi,
Same physical printer but when connecting to SAME computer using both USB and wireless it becomes two (logical) printers. Probably your default prnter is the wireless one, you have to select the right printer before print .

IPhone - how to sync with iPhoto and Aperture at the same time ???

I'm having a really hard time with syncing my photos - I'm using iPhoto and Aperture on my Mac. When I launch iTunes and start managing my iPhone, it seems like I should be able to sync photos from a variety of sources all at once (iPhoto, Aperture, other folders).
However, whichever option I select in the photos drop-down becomes the only libraries that are available to sync. What I mean is that if I select some of the Albums in my iPhoto list and sync those, when I later drill down to Aperture and select albums from there and perform a sync - then the previously synced/loaded albums and photos from iPhoto are automatically removed from the iPhone.
Why can't I sync between multiple photo albums / sources at the same time? This is incredibly annoying.

Here's how I solved this problem:
In Aperture, select File -> Import -> iPhoto Library
Then under the "Store Files" dropdown, be sure "In their Original Location" is select. This will allow Aperture to see your iPhoto library, but it will be managed by reference rather than phyisically imported.
Now, in iTunes, select Aperture as the application from which you want to synch photos, and select the option to synch specific albums.
You should be able to see the names of albums in iPhoto as well as those created in Aperture.

Using AExpress with mac and PC at the same time?!

I spent all day with this issue, not resolved some...but
I am getting a blinking amber light after reseting my airport express, but yet it is the only way it connects my mac and my pc together on the device at the same time, without shutting one out,
How can I get them to share the base station and have the normal green light? if they have a green light it disconnects my pc wirless connection. Are there shared settings somewhere?
windows xp pro sp3
wireless usb card: belkin F5D9050
mac macbook 10.5 osx
airport card/utility
airport express downloaded 5.4.3 version for windows

Thanks Tesserax
well, after 12 hours and trials I solved it myself, but I am considering more people have this issue, so I will share.
(make sure any adapter you buy is 802.11g/n/b compatible)
I had a Belkin F5D9050 USB card,
so install the latest updated driver for it, not the one with the cd!!!
found here: http://www.belkin.com/ca/support/article/?lid=enc&pid=F5D9050&aid=13773&scid=223
depending on your OS, pick one...but install driver first, then connect the usb card.
Then install the latest Airport Utility (*NOTE: there are alot of old ones that do not work out there!) Only use this one!
Airport Utility: 5.4.2 June 2009
http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortUtility_5_4_2Windows
If the AE utility doesn't detect your base station, press the reset button (until amber light flashes quickly), and then try re-scan again! do this until it shows up, then the installer will begin, if the amber light keeps blinking you need to reset again, once it works the lights will alternate between green and amber, then stay green.
IF YOU HAVE A MAC HOOKED UP: uninstall your airport base station from the unit for now, you can install it later after you configure your pc! The PC is sensitive and will not share the network, but mac will after.
Once the green light stays on you will be connected to wireless internet. Now you can connect your mac again.
I stumbled through this setup through trial and error, so do not quote me, but it worked for me.
If you have a password for it, write it down, you will need to enter it to connect to your base station again. This is the best way to stay online, and not have others stealing your wireless, or files.
You can share files to your PC and vise versa, just be sure to read up on sharing in Mac Osx.
If all goes well, now your PC and mac can be on the same base station at the same time.
If it works with amber light flashing it does, but is NOT connected right.
The light should be solid green.
TRUST ME, NO ONE HAS GOOD TIPS OUT THERE, AND CHAT SUPPORT DOES NOTHING!
I am sure I am forgetting something, but if you have an issue...just message me.

Airport Extreme's compatibility with PC and MacOS AT THE SAME TIME

I have a PC and a Macbook at home and was wondering if anyone could tell me if the Airport Extreme can handle them both at the same time. I know they're compatible separately, but does that mean they're compatible when used together?
thanks!

The Apple computers hook up quite easily to the Airport Extreme base station.
My experience with two Windows computers is that they will connect...but getting them to "speak" to each other can be frustrating if you've enabled WPA2 security in your base station.
No security set in your Airport Extreme base station? No problem...
YMMV

Use sound output hdmi and bluetooth at the same time?

Hi
Im using a Mac mini and its connected to my magnifier and then to my TV.
I just bought a new speaker that I placed in my kitchen. I would like to play the same music in the livingroom and in the kitchen at the same time, is it possible?
My speaker got bluetooth and AUX.
I tried using midi but it doesn't work, is it because of the hdmi?

Brian
Regarding the HDMI and Optical, yes they are both active, I have HDMI to TV and OA to soundbar, both work simultaneously and stand alone too.

Can I use my Ipod 5th Genereration with Mac and XP at the same time?

I have a 5th generation. My home system is a Mac my work is an XP. I have all of my music on my home MAc. I want to bring those over and use in the XP environment. Does anyone know if that can be done? When I connected my ipod into the USB on my XP it asked for me to download the software. If I do that will it mess up my Mac interface?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
ipod video (5th Generation) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

First, please understand that an iPod formatted on a PC (FAT32), will be able to be read by a PC and Mac. But not the other way round. You have 2 options to do it:-
1. Do a Restore of your iPod on your PC (you need to install the iTunes and iPod updates on your PC), (it will erase all data on your iPod). Once it has been completed, connect it with your Mac and do an update between the iTunes on your Mac with the iPod. After that please install the 3rd party software e.g. YamiPod on you PC, and use this software
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=464031&tstart=0
Copy all the music on your iPod to your iTunes on your PC
2. Download and install a 3rd party software xplay2
(which is not free)on your PC, then it will manage to read your Mac's iPod

Airport extreme wired AND wireless at the same time?

Very sorry for this newbie question. Can i have my iMac wired to my computer with ethernet and wireless at the same time?
If so, what ports to i plug what into?
My guess is modem-wan port on extreme and a cable going wired from the ethernet port on the extreme to the iMac?
Do i need to do any configuring?
Thanks!

The operatibe word here is EXPRESS
To the best of my knowledge the ethernet port on the express is for ethernet IN not out
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/AirPortExpressSetupGuide.pdf The pertinent diagrams are like page 20 - 25
Now you can actually do what you are talking about with an extreme.. an extreme can, in theorey operate as an remote/relay taking incoming signal giving you one - four out bound ethernet ports
that info can be found in the manual on setting up a WDS
the only thing to remember is .. the weakest leg controls.. if your wireless signal to the relay is poor. any thing using the relay for access will also be poor
I have found out the hard way about that
hey you can get good price on bulk cat 5

Reading and recording at the same time with AudioUnit

Hi,
I am trying to read and record at the same time on the iPhone with AudioUnit. For the reading part I made an AUGraph which works fine, constructed like that:
NewAUGraph(&_graph);
_outputUnitComponentDescription.componentType = kAudioUnitType_Output;
_outputUnitComponentDescription.componentSubType = kAudioUnitSubType_RemoteIO;
_outputUnitComponentDescription.componentManufacturer = kAudioUnitManufacturer_Apple;
_outputUnitComponentDescription.componentFlags = 0;
_outputUnitComponentDescription.componentFlagsMask = 0;
AUGraphAddNode(_graph, &_outputUnitComponentDescription, &_outputNode);
_mixerUnitComponentDescription.componentType = kAudioUnitType_Mixer;
_mixerUnitComponentDescription.componentSubType = kAudioUnitSubType_MultiChannelMixer;
_mixerUnitComponentDescription.componentManufacturer = kAudioUnitManufacturer_Apple;
_mixerUnitComponentDescription.componentFlags = 0;
_mixerUnitComponentDescription.componentFlagsMask = 0;
AUGraphAddNode(_graph, &_mixerUnitComponentDescription, &_mixerNode);
AUGraphConnectNodeInput(_graph, _mixerNode, 0, _outputNode, 0);
AUGraphOpen(_graph);
AUGraphNodeInfo(_graph, _outputNode, NULL, &_outputUnit);
AUGraphNodeInfo(_graph, _mixerNode, NULL, &_mixerUnit);
_generatorUnitComponentDescription.componentType = kAudioUnitType_MusicDevice;
_generatorUnitComponentDescription.componentSubType = kAudioUnitSubType_RemoteIO;
_generatorUnitComponentDescription.componentManufacturer = kAudioUnitManufacturer_Apple;
_generatorUnitComponentDescription.componentFlags = 0;
_generatorUnitComponentDescription.componentFlagsMask = 0;
for(int i=0; i< [_urlList count]; i++)
SoundBuffer* soundBufferTemp = [_bufferSoundList objectAtIndex:i];
AURenderCallbackStruct renderCallbackStruct;
renderCallbackStruct.inputProc = MyFileRenderCallback;
renderCallbackStruct.inputProcRefCon = soundBufferTemp;
AudioStreamBasicDescription* inputAsbd = [soundBufferTemp getASBD];
err = AudioUnitSetProperty(_mixerUnit,
kAudioUnitProperty_StreamFormat,
kAudioUnitScope_Input,
i,
inputAsbd,
sizeof(AudioStreamBasicDescription));
UInt32 zero = 0;
err = AudioUnitSetProperty(_mixerUnit,
kAudioOutputUnitProperty_EnableIO,
kAudioUnitScope_Input,
kInputBus,
&zero,
sizeof(zero));
err = AUGraphSetNodeInputCallback(_graph,
_mixerNode,
i,
&renderCallbackStruct);
This works well, for the recording AudioUnit I did the following:
OSStatus err;
AudioComponentDescription audioComponentDescription;
AudioComponent audioComponent;
audioComponentDescription.componentType = kAudioUnitType_Output;
audioComponentDescription.componentSubType = kAudioUnitSubType_RemoteIO;
audioComponentDescription.componentManufacturer = kAudioUnitManufacturer_Apple;
audioComponentDescription.componentFlags = 0;
audioComponentDescription.componentFlagsMask = 0;
audioComponent = AudioComponentFindNext(NULL, &audioComponentDescription);
err = AudioComponentInstanceNew(audioComponent, &_audioUnit);
UInt32 size;
size = sizeof(AudioStreamBasicDescription);
err = AudioUnitGetProperty(_audioUnit,
kAudioUnitProperty_StreamFormat,
kAudioUnitScope_Input,
1,
&_soundFileDataFormat,
&size);
_soundFileDataFormat.mSampleRate = 44100.00;
AudioUnitSetProperty(_audioUnit,
kAudioUnitProperty_StreamFormat,
kAudioUnitScope_Input,
kInputBus,
&_soundFileDataFormat,
size);
AudioUnitSetProperty(_audioUnit,
kAudioUnitProperty_StreamFormat,
kAudioUnitScope_Output,
kOutputBus,
&_soundFileDataFormat,
size);
AURenderCallbackStruct renderCallbackStruct;
renderCallbackStruct.inputProc = MyRecorderCallback;
renderCallbackStruct.inputProcRefCon = self;
UInt32 one = 1;
UInt32 zero = 0;
err = AudioUnitSetProperty(_audioUnit,
kAudioOutputUnitProperty_EnableIO,
kAudioUnitScope_Input,
kInputBus,
&one,
sizeof(one));
err = AudioUnitSetProperty(_audioUnit,
kAudioOutputUnitProperty_EnableIO,
kAudioUnitScope_Output,
kOutputBus,
&zero,
sizeof(zero));
err = AudioUnitSetProperty (_audioUnit,
kAudioOutputUnitProperty_SetInputCallback,
kAudioUnitScope_Global,
0,
&renderCallbackStruct,
sizeof(AURenderCallbackStruct));
err = AudioUnitInitialize(_audioUnit);
Then in I setup a file to write in:
- (void) openFile
OSStatus err;
err = ExtAudioFileCreateWithURL((CFURLRef) _soundFileUrl,
kAudioFileCAFType,
&_soundFileDataFormat,
NULL,
kAudioFileFlags_EraseFile,
&_extAudioFileRef);
err = ExtAudioFileSetProperty(_extAudioFileRef,
kExtAudioFileProperty_ClientDataFormat,
sizeof(AudioStreamBasicDescription),
&_soundFileDataFormat);
err = ExtAudioFileWriteAsync(_extAudioFileRef,
0,
NULL);
All this things works well (I check by printing err in the log which I removed here for clarity).
And then in the callback for recording I do the following:
static OSStatus MyRecorderCallback(void *inRefCon,
AudioUnitRenderActionFlags* inActionFlags,
const AudioTimeStamp* inTimeStamp,
UInt32 inBusNumber,
UInt32 inNumFrames,
AudioBufferList* ioData)
OSStatus err= noErr;
AudioUnitRecorder* auRec = (AudioUnitRecorder*) inRefCon;
[auRec allocateAudioBufferList:1 size:inNumFrames*4];
err = AudioUnitRender(auRec.audioUnit,
inActionFlags,
inTimeStamp,
inBusNumber,
inNumFrames,
auRec.audioBufferList);
err = ExtAudioFileWriteAsync(auRec.extAudioFileRef,
inNumFrames,
auRec.audioBufferList);
return err;
(Then I close the file after recording at the same time I close the AudioUnit)
Now the strange thing is that all this works perfectly well in the simulator: I can record and play at the same time but on the device, the callback for recording is not ran (I check by trying to print something in the log in the callback function.) which men no writing in the file and an empty file in the end.
Any one has any idea of what could be causing this?
Thanks
Alexandre

Just in case some one might need it, I solved my problem:
I simply needed to initialize the AudioSession before playing/recording. I did so with the following code:
OSStatus err;
AudioSessionInitialize(NULL, NULL, MyInterruptionListener, self);
UInt32 sessionCategory = kAudioSessionCategory_PlayAndRecord;
err = AudioSessionSetProperty (kAudioSessionProperty_AudioCategory,
sizeof (sessionCategory),
&sessionCategory);
AudioSessionSetActive(TRUE);

Problem with audio of my notebook. Audio works through pc speakers and earphones at the same time

Hi all,
thanks in advance for your advices.
I have a problem with my notebook (HP pavilion g6 2305 sl).
The problem is that when I connect my earphones the audio of my pc don't stop, hence I can hear (music, film, ...) both by earphones and speakers at the same time.
I tried to install again the latest driver audio, but nothing was changed.
I tried to use another pair of earphones, but nothing.
I have noted that if I connect the Jack at my pc, but not until the end, the audio stops from the speakers and goes through the earphones, but only if the jack is not completly inserted in the notebook.
I read a lot of forum on the web but I'm not able to find a solution for my problem.
(ps. the problem comes out suddenly, without any signal. I don't have installed any update or new software before the problem's start)

Right click on speaker icon, lower right screen.
Choose playback devices.
Select "speakers and headphones" as your default.
Disable "communications headphones".

Can we use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in JDBC Receiver

Hi All,
I would like to know is it possible to use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in one interface because I have a requirement in which I have to perform both the task.
user send the file which contains both new and old record and I need to save those in MS SQL database.
If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT.
I looked on sdn but didn't find any blog which perform both the things at the same time.
Interface Requirement
FILE -
> PI -
> JDBC(INSERT & UPDATE)
I am thinking to use JDBC Lookup but not sure if it good to use for bulk record.
Can somebody please suggest me something or send me the link of any blog or anything to solve this problem.
Thanks,

Hi ,
          If I have understood properly the scenario properly,you are not performing insert and update together. As you posted
"If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT."
Thus you are performing either an insert or an update which depends on outcome of a search if the records already exist in database or not. Obviously to search the tables you need " select * from ... where ...." query. If your query returns some results you proceed with update since this means there are some old records already in database. If your query returns no rows you proceed with "insert into tablename....." since there are no old records present in database.
Now perhaps the best method to do the searching, taking a decision to insert or update, and finally insert or update operation is to be done by a stored procedure in MS SQL database. A stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications accessing a relational database system. Here the application is PI server.   If you need further help on how to write and call stored procedure in MS SQL you can look into these links
http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/databases/ms-sql/threads/146829
http://www.sqlteam.com/article/stored-procedures-parameters-inserts-and-updates
[ This part you can ignore, Since its not sure that you will face this situation
    Still you might face some problems while your scenario runs. Lets consider this scenario, after the stored procedure searches the database it found no rows. Thus you proceed with an insert operation. If your database table is being accessed by multiple applications (or users) other than yours then it is very well possible that after the search operation completed with a null result, an insert/update operation has been performed by some other application with the same primary key. Now when you are trying to insert another row with same primary key you get an error message like "duplicate entry not possible for same primary key value". Thus you need to be careful in this respect. MS SQL has a feature called "exclusive locks ". Look into these links for more details on the subject
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa213039(v=sql.80).aspx

http://www.mollerus.net/tom/blog/2008/03/using_mssqls_nolock_for_faster_queries.html
    There must be other methods to avoid this problem. But the point is you need to be sure that all access to database for insert/update operations are isolated.

My SB Audigy 2 card can't use headset and musicamplifier at the same time

Hi, i just bought a SB Audigy 2 [D400] and i have downloaded drivers and programs. I run Windows XP SP2.
The soundcard works fine but it is very very annoying that i physically have to change the jack in the green=line out jack from headset to musicamplifier when i want to use my musicamplifier and change back the jack in the green=line out from musicamplifier to headset when i just want to use the headset/headphones .
In the shop they told my that i can connect both amplifier and headset at the same time and then with creative software control whether there is sound in the headset or in the amplifier. But i can't simple get it work.
I tried to use the green to the amplifier and the headset/speakers in the black (line out 2) and then with creative speaker settings softeware choose headphones but still the ampliefier receive the sound and no sound in the headphones. Why? In fact no matter what configuration i try the headphones doesn't work.
But if i change the jacks so headset is in the green line out then only headset is working and the amplifier doesn't work no matter i put it in sort=line out 2 jack or orange=line out 3 jack.
Can somebody here tell me if it is possible or not to connect both headset and external amplifier and control by software which to play? and how?
please help, thx.
Michael

If you can have an ASIO compatible music playing system, then it might be possible to have system like you wish when using Creative Audigy 2 card. Since ASIO bypasses Windows Audio System, you can use both 'drivers' (ASIO - WDM/MME/DS) side by side.
Say you want to play a game (using headset /w mic) and someone other like to listen music at the same time. With ASIO capable system you can output your music for example to "center L/R (stereo) channels" and same time output sounds from other source (using MME/DS/WDM drivers) to normal output channel (Front L/R). Only thing is, you need to set your speakersystem to 4 or 6 (depending which other channel you're using) (and for better 'balance' to adjust "angle" on THX console. You get the THX console by installing Audigy 2 Zs software).
Try for example http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/463/djs9mo.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
Another option:
Say you want to play music through external amplifier and play game online with your headset + microphone (eg. others but you listen the music, you play games)
--> try free http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/4589/tbp7rz.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
If you use ASIO on BeatPort Player you can select L/R individually from the list(s). Same rules as described earlier.
= You can play from 2 different sources simultaoneusly (ASIO + WDM/MME/DS) to two different outputs without disturbance. The other (WDM/MME/DS) source is set 'automatically' output to (Audigy) "green" port, and the other (ASIO) to "black" or "orange" port (as set).
