Untypical audio setup

Hello
I have a MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR motherboard. Some time ago I was palying with realtek drivers, and noticed, that with different column setups one of connectors acts as either line-in or one of 5.1 line outs. My question is: is there a way to set the three audio connectors biuld in the mobo, so that they act:
1 - Speaker out
2 - Headphones out
3 - Mic in
I use two speakers as a standard playback, and also a headphones with a mic for voip talks.

Hello
I was using Realtek drivers as a temporary solution to windows 98 m3 playback problem. Now, after upgrading to WinXP I am using nvidia drivers provided with my motherboard.
Since I saw in Realtek drivers, that the sound connectors work as both in and out, I am looking for a way to assign two line-outs and one mic-in to three sound connectros on motherboard.
with respect

Realtek audio setup ?

when i configured my audio setup for 5.1 configuration my rear speaker doesn't work. I have to choose 7.1 setup to have them to be functional. The problem is that i have 2 more surround speaker on each side that are not present. Driver need a fix.

Check your connections. I had the same problem where my side speakers didn't work in 5.1 but did in 7.1, leaving me with two more nonexistent surround speakers. I had the speakers plugged in incorrectly. You might not be as slow as me however it doesn't hurt to make sure.

AUDIO SETUP ASSISTANT GONE

I noticed that I can no longer use the core audio setup assistant in express 8. In 7, I could adjust the amount of tracks, buses ect. They have apparently got rid of that feature in 8. So now I have 64 buses and instead of setting the record max time at around 15 minutes in 7, I now can record for over 400 minutes. That seems a bit overkill. Is there a way to cut this back to about 8 buses and 24 audio tracks and 16 midi and 16 instrument tracks in the setup? OR is adjusting those settings no longer available?

Those setup options are in System Preferences, under the Apple menu.

[SOLVED] Audio setup troubles with usb headphones and built-in sound

Hello,
I Just started using Arch about a month ago after going through many Debian and Ubuntu variants. After all my frustrations with apt pinning to get working 10bit video playback, only to have everything else uninstalled by crappy dependency checking, I am extremely happy with how easy it was in Arch.
Now I am having difficulties perfecting my audio setup. Almost everything else is set up to satisfactory levels but I have yet to bring the sound to the same standard. With just ALSA my built in audio works, but defaults to the unused hdmi on my nvidia graphics. I have managed to get it to switch at some point but with ALSA alone I could never get my usb headset to work at all.
By using pulseaudio as well I was able to get simutaneous playback, which is ideal, but had choppiness and other issues with just the usb headset. I followed some instructions found on the arch wiki and other places on the net for choppiness in both ALSA and pulse and tried the fixes listed in various combinations. I ended up with outcomes such as pulse not starting, no sound at all, creepy ticking in usb and perfect sound on speakers, and my current situation of perfect sound on speaker and acceptable but tinny sound on usb which degrades over time requiring restart.
Is anyone able to give any advice or point me to any guides I may have overlooked?
Setting up sound from scratch is something I have never done before coming to Arch, so I don't know what commands are useful for audio specifically, but learning is one of the reasons I decided on Arch. As for commands I do know, lspci and lsusb, relevant entries are as follows:
spricc ~ $ lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF104 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 1532:000e Razer USA, Ltd
USB device is a Razer Megalodon headset, NVIDIA Audio is of no interest to me, unless it is not what i think it is.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this.

Problems with MOTU Audio Setup and Mavericks.

Hi!
after installing the latest update of MOTU Audio Drivers (v1.6.59200 | Nov. 12, 2013) for some sessions Motu Audio Setup has worked correctly.
Now, after a week or so, it detects the interfaces (by the way a 828vMk II + 8pre, both FW) when I power them, so it fires up as usual; but when launched is not showing any device connected.
I tried to thrash the Audio Devices preference panels, but no result.
Shall I wait for a new MOTU update or is there any other workaround I could try?
Thanks in advance for help
Massimo

I had the same problem. The fix after multiple configurations is as follows.
1) Reset the PRAM and shutdown - this will clear the FW settings
2) Boot the systems but with on ONE Motu828 powered on.
3) After the system is up and you can see the one device - power the second device on it the Motu Audio Setup program should see both.
there is some kind of FW race problem. Also, go to preference, turn OFF IPV4 stack from the FW device in NW setting. If I do not do this, I cannot get the system to see the devices and it basically is in some sort of "hung" state.

Recommended KDE audio setup

I have search high and low, but I cannot seem to fix my audio issues, nor find out what really is the recommended audio setup for Arch and KDE
If I just have alsa-utils installed I get this message A LOT!
If I install alsa-utils, pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa, my volume settings are never remembered, I want my laptop to start up with the volume set to what it was when it was shutdown
What is the recommended audio setup for Arch with KDE?
Thank you

Audio setup in CS5 and audio overlay workflow

Here is the situation: I have a 720p mpeg 2 file of a football game that is the original tv broadcast. The file contains muxed A/V. I also have the radio version of the same game in mp3 format with different announcers for the game. I would like to overlay the radio audio with the television video and keep everything in sync.
1. What would be a good workflow to achieve this? Can this be done in Premiere or Encore?
2. I would like to give the viewer the option to watch the game using the TV audio or radio audio. Similiar to a dvd movie with English or Spanish versions. How can i set up a menu option for this in Encore.
thanks for any help.

Bill, thanks for the help. I have 2 other questions.
1. How do i convert the mp3 to .WAV and
2. what is the workflow to do a "Audio Setup" option in the main menu?
thanks.

Dual Monitor Audio Setup?

Hi there!
Getting my new Mac Mini next week.
Question about setup - dual monitor and audio.
I will be connecting to my TV via DVI - HDMI and monitor via MDP - HDMI.
What are my best options for audio?
Monitor doesn't have speakers so I was thinking of using my current 2.1 system with a 3.5mm jack. I know I can use a splitter from the 3.5mm port on the Mini for analogue sound but is there any way of outputting digital audio to the TV and analogue to my speakers.
On my PC audio is carried to the TV via HDMI so auto switches audio when TV is detected, can the Mini do similar?
Cheers

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
1. The mini's m-DVI and m-DP do not carry audio.
2. Switching from analog to digital audio is a mechanical process that occurs in the audio mini-port. The digital mini-plug is about 2 mm longer than the analog plug and effects the change.
3. You might consider using the audio port as the source of digital audio for your TV and get a USB adapter for analog audio for your speakers.
4. You can add the digital audio to the HDMI stream with this device;

Proper audio setup?

Hello there!
I'm new to Archlinux and this is my first post on this forum. I've been using Ubuntu for about 2 years but I learned nothing about Linux. Now I have fast system where I installed only those things I wanted and I feel I accomplished something. I was able to setup my internet connection, installed X11 and then Openbox with some themes and icons. I also installed Tint2 and Dropbox which shows on it nicely and managed to install Pacaur which manages AUR packages nicely. I was even clever enough to mount my Windows and Ubuntu partitions and copy-pasted script which pops-up when USB drive is inserted. All in all I have now fairly well performing system and I would be ready to run cfdisk and delete my Ubuntu partition if there weren't one big annoyance: SOUND.
In every situation I presented above I was complete noob but with Google and magnificent Archwiki I learned everything I needed to overcome all problems. Even though there's still much work to do, I have at least a glimpse on what is it about and where should I look for help. But one thing I'm completely lost in is sound configuration.
According to alsamixer I have 3 devices:
0. Lexicon Alpha (USB sound card)
1. HDA Intel
2. HDA ATI HDMI
Since I have my speakers plugged into Lexicon Alpha, and plan to use it solely, I don't care about the two others. I have ALSA (default from installation) and I also installed pulseaudio in an effort to solve my sound issues. Here's a list of features I expect to get from my sound setup (sorted by priority):
1. Play music & videos via VLC and Youtube.
2. Record basic input from my microphone.
3. Complete audio workstation: MIDI sequencing by Rosegarden with soundfonts provided by Qsynth (or something else), drum writing done in Hydrogen, everything synchronized via Jack and put it into Ardour where I can record other sound from outside.
Right now, I'm trying to get point 1 working. VLC seems to work after I directly told it to use ALSA. Youtube randomly works. Right now it's fine but sometimes it works only after reinstallation of flashplugin and sometimes not at all. But my goal is not only to get something working. I'd like to know what I'm doing. Are there any configuration files where I could easily tell my system what soundcards to run (or not to)? How to tell Firefox to use one particular driver or sound card? Is it neccessary to have Pulseaudio installed? If possible I'd love to get rid of it. I'm totally lost and know nothing about how sound works on linux. I remember that I was able to run all 3 points in my Ubuntu days but I was as lost as I'm now and it had stopped working some time ago as well.
And yes, I read ALSA Archwiki, Pulseaudio documentation and various Google results. I found solutions like copy-paste this to get that working but none of them helped me in terms of understanding my sound system. Most of them I didn't onderstand. Here's a summary of what I'm trying to accomplish:
- Get point 1 working at 100% (other points are not that important and I think I should be able to figure them out once I know how to do the rest).
- Know whether Pulseaudio is neccessary for point 1, 2 and 3.
- Know how to configure my system to use only Lexicon Alpha (but with an option to take it back).
- Overall Improve my knowledge of audio in Linux to the point where I'm able to determine what to Google for.
I'd be glad if someone helped me out or at least point me at a reasonable source of information.
Cheers,
Kubouch

See my ~/.asoundrc, read it and play with it.
No, you will not need pulseaudio.
Thanks, breps, this is helpful. I'll look into the file, it seems to be very well descripted. Also good to know Pulseaudio isn't necessary. I like to keep things as small as possible.

Ah, in that case you probably want a realtime kernel, or maybe the BFS scheduler with threadirqs will be sufficient. Maybe Gentoo Studio has good ideas.
I'm aware of realtime kernels but I'd rather solve my basic issues first, then delete Ubuntu and after that I can play with kernels. I'll look into it, eventually, when the right time comes.

You might also want to take a look at LinuxBBQ Rocks: http://linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30
As I replied to breps, my main priority is to get my bearings, set up my sound to work reliably and then fiddle with recording. But LinuxBBQ is another distro, isn't it? I'd rather not reinstall my system once again. But thanks for the reply, anyway. I can at least look at the list of applications to broaden my horizons.

Audio setup?

I have a Sony 5.1 Ch. Home Theater System hooked up to my iMac with a HDMI to Mini Displayport cable. My iMac is outputting surround sound just fine. I was just wondering what is the difference between using the Mini Displayport for surroud sound audio or using a Digital Optical cable through the headphone jack? After looking through the Apple support community, I haven't read of anyone using the Mini Display port to output surround sound.

I don't know.
I have a dc7800 CMT and I have a set of 2 speakers with a sub-woofer connected to the light green port and that setup works fine for me.
I do not believe you are correct regarding the audio support capability in the dc7800 series of PC's (unless of course you have added an audio card).
Please refer to the integrated audio specs listed on page 27 at the link below.

I suggest you start a new thread regarding this matter. It is not my area of expertise.

MIDI/Audio setup

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me. I am struggling to understand how to record the output of my MIDI synth (MOTIF ES-8) into a track in Logic. I have the Martin Sitter videos and books, but he doesn't seem to address this particular (and probably very common) procedure.
I know there is an External Instrument plugin, but I understand the better way is the more traditional use of an Input, Aux, Buss etc.?
The problem is that I still don't get how to use these types of tracks to achieve my goal.
I would like to be able to record a MIDI track like normal. Then after I have my song ready, bounce the entire thing out to an audio file.
I would be grateful if anyone could tell me how to setup my Audio Objects to allow me to record MIDI as audio.
Regards,
Ken

Ken,
The thing that's necessary, is to get the Motif's
audio output into Logic.
So you would need to plug the audio outputs of the
Motif into 2 inputs of your audio interface.
This part is correct. I will say that.
Now this part,
Using an Input Object in Logic, you could then
monitor the Motif through the output object of
Logic.
Stereo Input Object 1-2 is inputs 1 and 2 from your
audio interface. Input Object 3-4 is inputs 3 and 4
of your interface...etc...
So now, when you are finished with your song, as long
as you bounce in Real time, the motif's output will
be visible to Logic's Output Object, and therefore be
included in the bounced audio file.
Hope that helps...
This is may or may not be correct. I personally have never
heard of this way of getting a keyboard sound into Logic.
That in itself means nothing since, there is much about
Logic I do not know. I am just going on what I learned
in the MacPro Video Enviroment series. In 47 lessons
on the enviroment, not once did they suggest this.
though they did mention what I am going to suggest,
that you create a mulit intstrument object in the enviroment
so that you can access all your keyboard sounds from
inside of Logic. This takes a little work, (in your case
very little) but when it's done it is easy to call up any
bank and patch. You can record to Logic in midi and
then it will be routed back to his keyboard automatically.
After running cables from his keyboard audio out to his
audio interface ins, he just sets up an audio track to record
the output of the keyboard. You can even skip recording
the midi if you just want to record audio from the ES.
Recording the midi first has definite advantages (easier to edit).
I even found a multi instrument environment layer with
documentation from Yamaha so you do not have to do the
hard part of setting up the 500+ names of the patches or
the tracks in the arrange window.Looks like this is your lucky day.
The environment LSO is here...

I made a video tutorial on setting up a external multi
instrument in Logic. That can be found here....
http://www.easy-sharing.com/515936.html
You probably wont need the video but in case something
is not clear, you can refer to it.
I know this works since I did it for my Motif.

Need ideas for best audio setup on Q180

Hello all. I've got a Q180 and very nice it is too, apart from one major ommision; there is no audio input/output on the rear panel, only on the front. I want a setup where I can have speakers plugged in to the rear somehow, but also be able to switch to headphone and mic in the front when I need to skype etc.
I've bought a small usb sound card for the rear panel, which seems to work well, but if I plug headphone into the front, I have to go to the audio control panel to change the default output to the internal audio system, and then change it back when I've finished.
Is there a better way of doing this? How have others arranged their audio needs with their Q180's?
Thanks for any advice!
Lee

Yes its one of the big ergonomic mistakes they made with the Q180 along with the power button you press everytime you plug something in (corrected on the Q190 at least).
Why would you want analogue output from the rear of a PC, where you cant see it and it looks neat. what a crazy notion (facepalms) Obviously you would want the cable poking out from under the front flap for a far more sleek look?!
Anyway the solution I came up with for one customer was a Bluetooth audio adapter.
A standard usb Bluetooth transmitter plugs in the back of the Q180 and the tiny Bluetooth receiver plugs into the 2.5mm audio in socket on his monitor.
You can find them cheap on Ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7dayshop-Bluetooth-Audio-Receiver-Adapter-Ref-BTR006-/400449362409?pt=UK_i...
You may still have some audio jiggery pokery to deal with though.
Sometimes USB equipped mic/headsets are easier to use as they just take priority as they are plugged in and out.

5.1 audio setup

I have read that the AppleTV can supply true 5.1 channel separation (when available) by being connected either by HDMI or a digital audio cable. As a novice here, if the HDMI goes to the television and a digital audio cable connects the TELEVISION (not the apple tv) to the receiver and speaker system does this pass through the 5.1 separation or must you have a separate (from the television) digital audio cable going from apple tv directly into the sound system?

Hi bkenney1,
While I've had my AppleTV for a few months now, I just recently started to play around with the 5.1 output settings. Here's what I found using my AppleTV connected to my Sony HT-SS2000 receiver:
1. Dolby Digital is NOT present via the HDMI
2. I only get Dolby Digital 5.1 via the optical output
My setup is as follows:
1. My AppleTV is connected to the Sony via HDMI (input port)
2. My AppleTV's optical cable is connected to the Sony's input optical cable
3. My 1080p TV is connected to the Sony via HDMI (output port)
On my receiver, I have the option of specifying where the audio should come from. When I select the AppleTV HDMI, I get no 5.1 sound, the best I get is Dolby Pro Logic II. When I set my receiver to use the optical cable as the audio input source, I immediately get 5.1 sound.
This is puzzling since HDMI should be able to carry the pass-through 5.1 stream to the receiver. I guess Apple isn't making 5.1 available via the HDMI port.
Regards,
Carlos

Anyone else with an Acura? What is your audio setup?

I'm trying to figure out how to get my iPhone (or even a regular iPod) to work in my '03 CL-S to play music. I have a factory Bose system with a 6-disc in-dash CD changer headunit. I'm actually quite pleased with the stock setup and prefer not to swap it out if possible.
The concept of an FM transmitter has already been tossed in my direction, and although I'm not completely opposed to it, I've seen quite a bit of negative feedback in regards to sound quality with this method.
Am I pretty much out of options beyond the FM trans, or does someone else out there have a clever setup they can enlighten me with?

Here is my advice, I just got involved with Apple products 2 months ago. This is just to point you in the right direction sorry I can not be of more serivce.
First goto ACURAZINE.com and hit the forums. I think you will find the solutions are limited. Tape decks is horrible and the AM/FM transmitters are garbage. Obvisouly replacing the head unit is out of the question. The two company's people are suggesting are USA SPEC and DICE. They both produce a products that allow true digital sound for around $150.00 for ipods/iphones. As I understand it neither unit will allow text display in your car. I am uncertain if these will allow you stearing wheel control. I do know in the 3G TL only the Dice will display text with the disconnect of XM.
Best of luck to you. Google USASPEC and DICE ELECTRONICS and of course acurazine

ATV2 Optical Audio Setup

I'm considering getting a new home theater receiver mainly for the purpose of being able to use the Apple TV 2 optical audio, but I want to make sure that it will actually do what I want. Does the optical audio make it so that you don't need the HDMI at all when using it? I want to just be able to use the iPhone remote (and my computer's iTunes) to select music and send it to the AppleTV, but not need my TV on. Just have the audio go to the home theater system. Thanks.

Hi,
I don't have a reversal in any mode (DTS, 5.1, Dolby stereo, plain stereo-from itunes library). Maybe try a reset and check your cabling and Handbrake settings. BTW I encode in 2 steps: Ripit to copy the DVD and remove copyguard since it is better at this than Handbrake, then I encode to m4v with handbrake and just pass through the 5.1, finally use Subler (free) to add metadata.
ATV2 is HDMI to receiver and out to speakers with wires and video via HDMI to TV
