Sound input from networked computer

does anyone know of an easy way (or just a way) to use the sound input from another networked computer to mine into garageband?
thanks

Hi Christoph,
it doesn't seem to work like that (no unnecessary D-A-D conversion), as shown on page 6 of the documentation.
More information here, but I must admit that I'm no audio engineer so I don't fully understand how it works!
That said I don't remember having noticeable loss of quality in my audio streams when I tried it.

I am having trouble sending an audio signal from my computer (mac pro early 2009) to my TV. Is there some interface or adapter that allows /enables the audio input from my computer to be sent to the TV (R,L signal?) any suggestions

just the audio, eh?. If you were using DVI or DisplayPort that might be different, but for audio alone, it shouldn't be that hard. Just grab a 3.5 mm stereo plug to 2 rca cables adapter. Plug the smaller end into the back of your Mac Pro (or the Front), where you see either the headphone or speaker icon). Alt-click on the speaker icon at the top of your screen to show all audio inputs and outputs. Make sure it's set to Line Out. Plug the red and white end into the audio in jacks on the back of your tv and set it to the correct input. I don't know if your tv will allow just the audio to play. Usually one has to connect up something else, but hopefully I'm wrong. If you were using DVI, or DisplayPort, you'd need an active DVI--HDMI adapter or a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, but
I don't know for sure

Do you have sound coming from the audio output port using headphones? If so, when the plug is pulled out, is there a red light?
You may need a PRAM reset:

What do I do when I want to change the sound output from my computer to my TV but I do not have the HDMI option under sound output?

I have the first generation of the silver macbook (with the black keyboard- before it went to macbook pro). I have been watching movies from my computer onto my TV via a HDMI cable. For awhile now I have been trying to get the sound from my computer to go onto my TV, but I do not have the option of HDMI on my computer. I was wondering if anyone knew why or what I do when I do not have that option. Thank you!

With the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

If you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.

Can't print to officejet 6500 E709a from networked computer

Today I've tried reinstalling my printer software multiple times and I still can't get the printer to print. "Print Test Page Fails." The printer itself works fine on the computer it's connected to with a USB. It works fine from my second networked computer when connected by USB. The second networked computer can see the printer on the network, and appears to be adding it correctly. It tells me is there and ready, but then gives me the error message when I try to print a test page. Nothing is appearing in the what's printing dialog box either. My network works fine with everything else. All troubleshooting has failed to produce any errors. I'm running Windows 7 on both computers, the main one a 64-bit and the second one 32-bit. A third computer on the network, in another room, can find and print from the printer. So.... any idea what's stopping me from getting this resolved? Thanks... Liz
This question was solved.

One final update to report... I almost abandoned the idea of printing to my HP printer from a network computer after receiving your last message. It still bothered me, though, that both Norton's firewall, which I intended to use, and the Windows firewall, which I thought was disabled, had been enabled when I installed the printer. As a final attempt, I made sure the Windows firewall was off, uninstalled the printer using the HP setup CD, and cleaned the Registry. Then I reinstalled the printer again, and WOW, it works! I'm posting this just in case it may help someone else who has had to rebuild their computer after a full system recovery back to factory status. My learning: Norton's firewall is not a problem, but Windows firewall needs to be all the way off. Thanks for all the help and time you took trying to get me up and printing again. Cheers... Liz

50L7300UC - sound input from Mac not outputting to ARC

I'm having an odd problem with audio on my 50L7300UC (Canadian model of the 50L7300U). I have a soundbar hooked up via HDMI ARC, and it works fine for audio from my cable PVR, from online sevices such as Netflix accessed through the TV itself, and from my PC (a Windows 8 tablet connected via a mini-Displayport to HDMI cable, which provides both audio and video). But with my wife's Macbook Air, using the same mini-Displayport to HDMI cable, video is fine but the sound won't output to the soundbar. Oddly, the sound does work if played through the TV speakers, but if I switch sound output to the soundbar (which the TV sees as "Amplifier"), nothing comes out. I've tried different settings on the Macbook's audio output (using the Midi Audio utility), but that doesn't seem to matter. Any ideas?

Hmm, if it doesn't see the internal microphone when connected via the FW cable, maybe you might have to run audio cables from the camcorder line output to the sound input on the Mac.

Why can't I delete files from networked computer?

I have my iMac G5 networked to a PC. Lately, when I try to delete PC files and directories from the Mac, I keep getting the error message:
"The operation cannot be complete because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." It will not allow me to move files from the PC directories onto the Mac desktop either.
I have no problem in seeing all of the files from either computer. I can also delete Mac files while working at the PC. I have checked all connections and configurations. Is there anything special that I should check.
Thanks

Are you using an Admin account to do these things? I get similar messages under those circumstances but when I use a regular account I can perform the edits (as long as I can see the content). I have no idea why this is so - but essentially you are using your OS X's server capabilities that are built into the non-server edition of OS X.

Sound input from camcorder

Hi everyine,
I have a Panasonic camcorder plugged to my Mac Pro. This camcorder has an internal microphone. When I use iChat, I can selected the camcorders internal microphone as the device to use.
But when I want to select this device in the sound input preference of OS X it dosn't appear in my choices. OS X dosn't seem to recognize is wherase iChat does...
Is there a way to make it recognized in the system preferences?
Thanks,
Julien.

AA3 Sound input from computer mic port-help needed

My new HP desktop has Vista 64 home premium (with creative soundblaster soundcard upgrade) and
I've installed audition3 and have it working fine when using audio files
but now I want to record audio using the mic port on the desktop. I have a headset mic (from dragon speaking software)
and the windows sound recorder hears the mic just fine. I am going nuts trying to get AA3 to hear it!
Any turotials I haven't found yet?

I spent 3 hrs at it, durin and steve thanks! now
there is audio from the mic input in edit view. I hope to find it in multitrack view but need a break!
my problem with vista is that i'm so anti-change that i'd rether stay with it. I dont know how to change to Win 7 and as Steve says there3 is concern that we waqit for next version so the bugs are fewer. like Steve, I liked XP; I would take it back, but I'm not a tecchie and have no time to learn these thiongs.
thanks again

Recording and playing sound input from mic simultaneously in iphone/ipad

I want to simultaneously record and play the sound from a mic in iphone. As thecricket commentory application.
Please provide me a solution for this.
Is this possible in iOs.

This probably isn't going to sound very helpful, for which I apologise in advance, but I'm afraid it's the truth...
The only way you stand any way of doing any of this is by using ASIO4ALL, which can aggregate different drivers from multiple devices. But I don't rate your chances too highly, I'm afraid - USB mics have long been the problem child of computer-based audio. On top of that, you are trying to get sounds in and out of a separate device at the same time - not only that, but it's a Creative Labs gamer's device and they are second only to USB mics in terms of the 'difficult' stakes - search this forum!
A much, much better way to attempt to do this would be to use a sensible ASIO external device with sufficient inputs, and a mic that plugs into it, not a USB one. That way you could route the inputs and outputs appropriately, and use the device's monitoring so that you could monitor what you need to. I wouldn't attempt to do anything like this any other way, I'm afraid. Another approach (which can be made to work well) is to use an external mixer to do most of the work - often it's easier to set up the monitoring on these. You can get mixers with the appropriate interface built-in, and they don't cost a fortune either. Mackie and Behringer make suitable devices.

"Using the harmonic analyser to determine the musical note of sound input from a mic and soundcard"

"Hi there, I am currently trying to extract what musical note is being sung via a mic plugged into my soundcard and using the harmonic analyser VI, I am experiencing problems however, as the fundamental frequency output does not always match the note being sung. Does anyone have any ideas why this may be? I initally thought it may be due to aliasing occurring but this is compensated for in harmonic analyser VI! If anyone has any suggestions I would be extremley grateful. Thanks
Em"

Rob Cole is right, your question is one that has a lot of potential
answers.
Here are a couple of notes / thoughts:
A-weighting probabably won't help much for your particular app, as it
sounds like your are more interested in tone detection, rather than
modeling how a human would hear or compliance with a standard.
Probably the most likely reason you are seeing the fundamental frequency
vary is that you are measuring a real-world signal that is a human voice.
Even though your singer may be singing a constant note, the frequency
content will vary somewhat--your singer is an imperfect boilogical
system. (Nothing against your singer in particular--no signer is
perfect!) Also, as Rob Cole pointed out, your singer's note isn't a pure
tone at all, but a collection of harmonics that you perceive as a note.
Regarding aliasing, it's important not to confuse any algorithmic
compensation (applied after a signal has been sampled) with true alias
protection. If you are using a sound card, it likely doesn't have
hardware-based alias protection. The only way to ensure that aliases
don't intrude on the frequency span of interest is to apply a hardware
filter prior to sampling your signal. Such filters can be added to the
front end of a DAQ board or come built-in with DSA hardware such as the
NI 4472. The software alias-related functionality of the Harmonic
Analyzer VI's simply excludes signal content that exceeds the Nyquist
rate in the distortion calculation.
I'm not sure specifically which VI you are referring to, but the SINAD
and Harmonic Distortion Analyzer VIs from the waveform analysis palette
use a tone detection algorithm to find the fundamental which is the same
as the one found in the Extract Single Tone Information VI. All of these
VIs include an advanced search input where you can specify a guess for
the frequency of interest and a range (as a percent of the sampling
frequency). You might try to narrow the search from the "try everything"
mode (-1 in the approx freq.) to something with less span around the
expected freq range.
Take a look at the power spectrum of your signal and verify that you see
a distinct, time-invarient peak where you expect your fundamental. My
guess is that you don't. I've whistled into a mic enough to know.
A final suggestion is to increase the duration (# of samples) acquired in
your acquisition. When you do so, you increase the duration of the signal
window that you analyze. If your signal shows slight frequency variation
over a given period of time, they can tend to average out with increased
duration of the signal that you analyze.
Hope this helps!

Continual sound coming from the computer

even when the computer is idle (could have sat for 2 hours) there is a constant gurgle sound (or light tap) (no jokes please) coming out of it. i've looked at the activity monitor and a prlvlapp and kernal_task take up anywhere from 5-10% each of the CPU. any ideas on what's going on? is this normal?

The shorter and longer test both came up fine. There's still that constant drip (faint plunking sound). The pattern seems to be a 1, 2 then nothing for a few seconds and then 1 and then quiet for a little bit then 1, 2, 3 and so on. I'm sure that's the hard drive but if the computer has been sitting for awhile or is just sitting it doesn't make sense that this would be going on.

Whirring, buzzing sound coming from my computer.

Hi all:
I have a four-year-old machine, and this buzzing sound is the same one I've gotten before when I first stick a DVD or CD in and the computer reads it. Now, however, it happens whenever I watch videos online (through Firefox or Safari) or when I go to certain websites that contain flash animation ads.
It is basically a loud (and annoying!) whirring, buzzing noise that sounds like the fan is working overdrive. If you put your hand at the back of the computer you can feel air blowing out, and if you put it underneath you can feel that the computer is actually abnormally hot.
I took it to the Apple store, they did a full scan of the hardware and said that nothing was wrong, and they also updated my system from 10.3 to 10.4.11 (Tiger). I thought that might make it better, but now it's become even worse, getting to the point where practically any website I go to sets it off at least for a few seconds, until I get out of the website and it starts to calm down again. Occasionally it goes to sleep entirely, and I have to wait a few seconds before waking it up by pressing the Spacebar.
I have Norton Antivirus and thought it might have something to do with that, so I disabled the program that automatically scans videos as they stream into your computer, but the sound is still happening.
Has anyone out there experienced this problem and dealt with it successfully? I thank you in advance for your help!

So I have a bit of an update (again). I blocked the Flash ads as requested, which is nice because I don't have to look at them anymore, but otherwise does not seem to have helped.
Now, when I go into pretty much ANY website at all, the computer starts making the noise no matter what. As soon as I click a link or switch a page, it again makes the noise.
I'm beginning to despair of ever finding a cure for this, seeing as I took it to the very people who made the thing and they couldn't even identify the problem
Thanks for trying to help, though. If you've got any other suggestions, please do pass them along. Much obliged.

There is no audio output on my MBA in the system preferences-sound folder. Therefore no sound comes from my computer. At the same time this happened, any streaming video stopped playing after 11 seconds, as well as iTunes will not play any song. Help!?

Hello everyone.
i have a 15" MBA circa 2011 running Lion 10.7.5 and my sound has gone, There is a no sound circle on my volume display and in system preferences sound my options for output is empty. At the same time this happened I noticed 2 things: 1) itunes would not actually play any audio track and every video i streamed stopped after a few seconds (usually 11s) but not always.
I have tried following some tips I have found online like going into MIDI and fixing the problem there, restarting in safe mode. Resetting with PRAM (or something that sounds like that).
Does anyone have any insight on this? At this point i'm thinking it's time to reload Lion but I don't really know how to go about that without losing all of my files.
Please Help
Thanks
