Sound issues in games after updates

Hi all,
I have a Quad w/ 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD and 7800GT. Just a couple of days ago, all the games I play worked fine (Rise of Nations, Rainbow Six III, Ghost Recon, America's Army etc. etc.). Now, when I load Ghost Recon, I get music on the menus, but no sound at all in the game. Rainbow Six III refuses to load at all (I get a blank black screen). America's Army's sound seems to be of terrible quality now, and finally, once Rise of Nations passes the intro movie and gets to the splash screen, it quits just as the music plays and loads the menu.
I've checked all audio settings everywhere - in the games, system prefs etc. iTunes still works fine, and I can still watch movies.
This only started happening after I installed a few Apple updates (specifically, the latest Security Update and iPhoto). I thought that if I updated QuickTime the problem may go away, so I downloaded the patch but this did not fix anything.
I ran the extended hardware test to see if anything got picked up, but it doesn't appear to test the Sound Card (which I am suspecting). It's more likely a software issue though, right?
Any one else in a situation similar to mine? Would a simple re-install of Tiger fix up the issues?
Thanks in advance,
-Travis

Don't worry, I fixed it the day after posting. Had to change the output frequency in the Audio MIDI Setup Utility

Issues not resolved after updating to latest SP BO 4.0

Issues not resolved after updates to latest SP
We initially installed BO 4.0 with SP4 FP3. After that updated the installation to SP6, SP7, SP8, SP9 and SP9 patch3. We skipped SP5 as it had no issues effecting the way we work.
Now we discovered that most of the important issues for development like being able to modify merged dimensions by adding a dimension are not resolved, despite the updates which would have fixed the issue.
Any ideas?
Is it possible to install SP5 afterwards and then update again to the new SP10?

You don't need to install SP5. Latest SP you have installed, will have all the fixes of SP5.
You cannot install SP5 after installing SP9. There is no need to install aslo.

Nothing at all has worked, please help!

Sound issues while streaming after installing Snow Leopard

Oh please help!
I have sound issues now that I've installed the upgrad of Snow Leopard (from Leopard) onto my Macbook. I have also installed the upgrade online.
This is the deal ...
I work online (Ethernet ... no WIFI) and stream video and audio, before the upgrad everything was fine, now the sound fades in and out and the video will freeze up for a second or two. I do have several options on the site that I work from as to what 'Quality' I wish to stream from. These options range from
56 fastest (modem) ... 126 Fastest (ISDN) ... 256 Fastest (DSL) ... Higest Cable, T1 ... 640x480 DH Cable, T1 and also External Encoding (which I don't use).
Skype works perfectly even after the upgrade.
I'm at al loss and need some help!
Thank fellow Appleites.

Thanks for the reply!
Where could I find this cache? In /Library/Cache or ~/Library/Cache? Using something like Onyx (beta 4 for Snow Leopard) would help out?
I have to go to this person's office in a couple of hours, if this could fix the problem it would be very nice, because last night I was thinking I would have to...
• Upgrade to iLife '09
• Format, re-installing 10.5 and iLife '08 +(since it worked like he wanted before)+
• Format, re-installing 10.6 and iLife '09 +(since what I made was an upgrade)+

No sound from m4v files after update to IOS 5.1

Hello
After updating my AppleTV3 to IOS 5.1 there is no sound from mine .M4V files.
MP4 plays just fine. My apple TV is connected to LAN, and uses HDMI through my receiver.
Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Bought a new ATV3 and updated software. Gives me picture, but no sound when I play movie trailers on the Apple service. Also, no sound when I play purchased movies. These same trailers and movies play through my ATV1. Installed my new HDMI cable on the ATV1. No change.
I'm not interested in plugging directly into the TV. As I use an HDMI switch, the ATV3 follows the same path through the receiver.
Right now the thing is just a paper weight. Doesn't give me sound when mirroring from my iPad which was my reason for buying it.

How to resolve every 5 minute logout issues from macbook after updating to Mac OS X 10.8.5?

After updating my macbook from OS X 10.8.4 to OS X 10.8.5, I have been experiencing automatic logout and quit all applications every 5 minutes specially during idle period. Although, the password requires to be activated after sleep or screen saver begins from General Tab of Security & Privacy pane is 1 hour. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a preference to log out after a certain amount of time. Check Security System Prefs. I think it is buried in there somewhere. I'm on an iPad at the moment, so can't check for it.
I don't know how it would have been activated with the update. It shouldn't have.

No sound from Thunderbolt Display after update to OS X 10.9.3

So I updated to 10.9.3 this morning only to find there is no sound coming from my Thunderbolt Display after installation. Sound is now only audible from my MacBook Pro (late 2011). Also, see image below, there is no sign of any connected inputs other than my MBP now. I've shutdown and restarted a number of times, but still no audio from the display.
Really starting to wonder why it's worth spending so much on Apple products now...

I sent my TB Display in for repair. They had it almost a week and didn't find anything wrong with it. Instead they took in my MacBook Pro and replaced the logic board (2nd time it had been replaced) and the Display seems to be working fine now.
...except that for using 3rd party video conf apps, those apps only pick up the MBP camera (even though i try to change settings in app), not the TBD camera... but FaceTime and Skype find the TBD camera.
Strange.

I completely agree with that sentiment. That's why we pay through the nose for their products, so it feels very bad when they don't just work.

Issues with GoogleMail after updating to iOS 4.2.1

Hello,
yesterday I have updated my iPhone to 4.2.1.
Now I have issues with syncing my mails, calender and notes from Google.
All apps (Mail, Calender and Notes) crashed right after opening them. So I decided to create a new account on my iPhone. Therefore I deleted my existing acoount and started to configure a new one (Settings => Mail, Contacts, Calender => Add account => Google Mail). After filling the form with all necessary inputs (name, address, password and description) the app crashes.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
Thanks!
Chris

I just experienced the exact same thing after upgrading from iOS 4.2.x to iOS 4.3...
Now my iPad shows the picture of the white USB cable that tells me to connect to iTunes to (re)activate. After trying this nothing happens - except from a message in iTunes telling me that;
"There is a problem with your iPad.
We're sorry, the iPad you connected may be damaged and canot be activated for service. We recommend you to visit your nearest Apple Store for more information. To find your..."
Anyone else had similar exeriences?!

No sound in multimedia playback after update (xine,vlc,mplayer)

Hi!
For some days now I don't have sound anymore in amarok and vlc. Since the sound works on e.g. youtube I don't know how to find the root of the problem and of course not the solution. In amarok my sound card doesn't show up any more. I'm using ALSA. "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" doesn't give any output. (I don't know if it matters.)
I already spent time in searching (googling) by myself without success. Can anyone give me a hint?
Thanks in advance,
Maximalminimalist

I'm using i3. (tiling WM)

Alsamixer should be fine. (Sound works on youtube anyway.)

No, I even had it in the modules but the "!" makes no difference.

I'm not using KDE but amarok recognises xine.

EDIT: I just tried KDE. (I have it installed but don't use it.) Everything is weird. I can't press anything right with the mouse because everything is mirror inverted and some zones are covered with a weird mix of pixels...fact is KDE doesn't work fine on my computer right now.

Multiple issues with wireless after update to 10.8.3

My wireless connectivity was never an issue until recently, probably after my update to 10.8.3.
Now I see this...
- After turning on my mbp, it can't see any wireless networks. If I go to network preferences and use the Network Name dropdown, I see all networks.
- I can pick a network, but even if I ask ththe password be remembered, it will start me over next time around.
- Once I enter the password, I can see the Wifi button going green in the left column network preferences window, *even as* it is still authenticating. The authentication fails eventually, but I am actually connected and I can start using the internet.
I tried these... with no luck.
- My wifi router has a 5GHz option. I used that one and set it to top of my preferrred network list.
- I tried to create a unqiue Location in network preferences with just my wifi network in it.
- I edited the left column in network preferences, to make sure Wifi is the first one to try before ethernet, bluetooth etc.
I did also recently change my router to Belkin. But my other devices, Lenovo laptops, Ipads, iphones, etc. have no issues.
What gives?
