Some apps use wrong output device

I have an iBook G4 with 10.3.9, builtin speakers and an external FireWire audio interface (a Presonus FireBox). When I select the FireBox as the default audio output device, most programs adhere (iTunes, the system alert sounds, the volume buttons, QuickTime, etc).
However, a lot of them continue to play audio from the builtin speakers - Flash, the Windows Media Player plugin for Safari (Flip2Mac or whatever it's called), and the "say" command line program.
Is there anyway to correct this? If I select "builtin speakers" and then turn the volume down and switch back to the FireBox, the misbehaving programs are now quiet... so the controls appear to be having SOME effect.
iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

This has now been fixed! I found a different thread on these forums about OS X dropping wireless connections - deleting these:
Go to Macintosh HD -> Library -> Preferences -> SystemConfiguration ->
Delete the following Plists:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.nat.plist
come.apple.network.identification.plist
com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
Networkinterfaces.plist
Thread I used: thanks quann

Resetting those plists helped me!

  • Some apps "use cellular data" will not remain turned off

    some apps "use cellular data" will not remain turned off
    No matter how often I go to settings>cellular and turn off the apps, as soon as I close that screen they automatically turn back on.
    I prefer not to delete the apps and reload them as I will loose the data in them when they are removed.
    Thanks for the help.

    First thing and easiest thing to try is a device reset:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • 2012 Mac Mini - Using multi-output device?

    I'm trying to get my Mini to output sound over HDMI and the headphone jack. This question has been asked before, but the answer wrongly claimed OSX didn't support it. The Audio MIDI Setup program (in the Utilities folder) does in fact let you set up a multi-output device that uses the headphone and hdmi out. But when I try to output sound with that device, I don't get anything.
    Before I bought this computer, the Apple Store drone claimed this multi-output was possible. But this wouldn't be the first time I've talked to a complete idiot there.

    Some more updates:
    using multi-output and having the line out set as master prevents 5.1 surround from being output on HDMI, which is fine for my use. When I have something plugged into the headphone jack (in my case wireless outdoor speakers) the settings app won't even allow the settings app to choose HDMI as the audio output device, which is also likely why HDMI can't be master in the MIDI app.
    So to get 5.1 surround back for movies I need to unplug whatever's in the headphone jack and change the output device from the multi-output option to HDMI. It's sad my 6 year old PS3 handles this more elegantly and sensibly but at least I don't have to take back my Mini now

  • Using Multiple Output Devices

    Hello,
    I just bought a simple multi-input device. It's just a box with several inputs connected to my iMac via USB. The input works flawlessly - I can assign each input to a channel in Logic.
    I'm having trouble with the Output. When the box is connected to my iMac and is selected under 'Device' in Logic's preferences, all the output is routed via the box too - but I want to use my internal speakers. The only Outputs I have available on the channel mixers are 'Output 1-2' which appears to be my box.
    The output device selected in Sound Preferences and Audio Midi Setup is my built-in output.
    Is there any way to use my built-in speakers when the box is connected?

    Hi John,
    Anyway, the link you posted seems to herald the answer! I'll give it a go shortly. I'm still surprised that I don't just see four output channels on each track (two for each device) and choose them accordingly.
    You are a few clicks away!
    Yes, I agree that Logic should catch up to it's little brother, GarageBand, in this respect, but maybe in some future release.

  • I had deleted some Apps on my iOS Devices (iPad mini and iPhone 5), but they are still in the Cloud. How can I delete them in the Cloud, too ?

    Hallo together,
    I had deleted some Apps on my iPhone and iPad, but they are still in the Cloud. My First iPhone was a 2, my Second a 4S and now I use a 5. With the 2 I had used a different Apple-ID, but I put some Apps via Backup from one Apple-ID to another. As I get a Message by furtherly Backups, that some Apps are not can be saved because the Apple-ID is no longer on that PC registred, I had deleted this Apps to get they new for the actually Apple-ID. But I'm not shure, when I install them now, that they are working under the correct Apple-ID.
    Any Ideas to solve the Probs ?

  • Can't Open Some App using home wifi network, must use 3g to do it

    My iPhone is 5s. Just like the title said, whenever my iPhone / iPad connected to wifi I can't connect to some games like Puzzle and Dragon even though I can browse using safari, using fb / twitter / instagram just fine. I keep getting connection error (in game of course) whenever I open that game (not only that game actually). Whenever I open the game, I can get myself automatically logged into gamecenter, but the can't connect to the game itself.
    I've tried changing the dns from the default 192.168.1.1 to google's and resetting the cache (airplane mode -> on -> off). But to no avail.
    Have tried to open the game on my father's iPhone and iPad, and my sister iPhone too. I suspect my problem is my wifi configuration isn't compatible to ios(?).
    Sometimes I experience updating app problem too on home wifi network, I can browse app store but can't update any app.
    While my phone can't, my friend's android can play the game just fine using my home's wifi network.
    Please help me fix this.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
    If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

  • MSI Gaming App - Uses wrong Graphics Card.

    Hello. I recently bought a MSI 970 4G Graphics Card. To improve performance/unlock more features, I downloaded the MSI Gaming App.
    However, it seem to default to my other graphics card, a NVidia 750TI. For example, the LED option isn't there, the cooling mode only works on my 750, etc.
    The only way I can get it to use my 970 (Meaning, access the LED function, and change the mode to Gaming/run the fan at 100%, etc.) is to remove my 750TI from the computer, which I do not want to do.
    Is there a way to set my MSI 970 as the "default" graphics card? Or to make the program use it instead of the 750ti, without removing the 750 from my system?
    Thank you very much.

    It happens every time, even after a restart.
    Hardware ID for 750TI:

  • Pwsafe, is the app used for all devices or do I have to purchase it or every device?

    My devices
    -Mac Book Pro, pwSafe already downloaded
    -iPhone 4s
    -iPad 4th Generation
    Do I need to purchase pwSafe for each device?

    Mac apps do not work on iOS devices, just as iOS apps do not work on Macs or PCs. If the developer has a Mac version and an iOS version of the same app, they are almost always sold separately. Just as they would usually sell a Mac and a PC version separately.

  • Some app use only channel 1 and 2 of a 6 channel sound card

    Hi,
    I use a Native Instruments Audio 6 soundcard, that has 6 channels. In Mac's Audio Midi Setup speaker configuration I configured that channel 5 and 6 have to be used for stereo. This works for quite a lot of apps, like Safari and iTunes, but other apps, like Chrome and XBMC, route their audio through channel 1 & 2. How can this be solved?
    This issue in the link below I had earlier, which I have fixed. It could be related, but it is not the same.

  • I have some apps on my iPad that were installed using an old apple ID. They can't be updated because the old ID is no longer valid. How can I change the apple ID associated with these apps?

    I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.

    If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
    You can verify  the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
    Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account

  • Output Device prints 3 copies of each print out

    Hi Frnds,
    We are facing a problem with the output device.
    When we try to print anything from SAP to an out put device, it gives us 3 copies of same printout.
    We tried with smartforms, sap scripts and even a normal print request from the anywhere in SAP. For the particular output device it gives 3 printouts.
    That output device is configured to a particular printer here in the user location.
    We have also tried couple of other things,
    Made that particulrt printer as the default one in our operating system (Windows) and printed using LOCL output device. It printed only one copy.
    Made other printer as the default in Windows and then print using LOCL output device, now again it printed only one copy, to another printer.
    Since it prints 3 copies of the same thing from anywhere in SAP with this op device, We think that there is no problem in Print programs or in Output condition configurations.
    The spool that gets generated out of this request says "No. of copies" 1.
    Not really sure where its going wrong. We think the problem is somewhere in Basis settings.
    If any one has faced this kind of issue can u please let me know how we can rectify this?
    Regards,
    Karthick C

    Hello,
    Are you using Access Method G for the output?
    If so you can check if the following setting was set:
    set use_copies = N (where N = number of copies) in
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\SAPlpd\SAPLPD
    Check the SAP note: 1149136 also.

  • Automatically choose an output device for itunes?

    I have several audio input and output devices, for example, a speaker phone for skype, speakers with sub woofer for itunes. Is there a way to make an Output device automatically be choose for a specific app such as itunes? I would never want to listen to itunes over the speaker phone nor skype with the speakers/subwoofer.
    I find my self often changing the output device with the ALT speaker icon in the upper right, but this doesn't always end well if you have already started the audio out of the wrong output device.
    Any ideas?
    thanks

  • Maintain output device in user master data

    when we try to print the Purchase order smartform we are getting the
    following update terminated error message.
    " Please maintain output device in user master data".
    1. If we maintain output device in my user profile as any printer name
    then we are not getting the update terminated error message.
    2. when we select the network printer it is always printing
    using the output device maintained in the user profile (example
    LOCL). it is not printing using network printer.
    when we select the network printer it should overwrite the user profile
    output device.
    Can we have the network printer selected irrespective of the printer
    maintained in the user profile?
    Please provide the solution
    Title was edited by:
            Alvaro Tejada Galindo

    Hi
    If you mention printer as LOCL the system will use network printer and the printer will be controled by Windows.
    If you specify printer name the printer will be controled by SAP.
    I hope now you can re-analyze your issue.
    Regards
    Surya.

  • Change Output Device Settings @ Runtime?

    This will sound silly, but there is a good reason for it :).  Also, I am not much of an ABAPer.
    We have a requirement to change output device settings on the fly in a program.  For instance, in case A, we would like to use the output device as it was originally configured in SPAD.  However, in case B, we would like to override the output device's access method and host dynamically in code.
    Is there any function module or technique that can change these output device properties via code at runtime (printtime)?
    Thanks,
