USB Audio Driver Problem fixed in 10.5.3?

Reading through quite a few topics on this forum, I know many people are experiencing problems with USB mixers/audio-recording devices and Macbook Pros running anything Leopard. The general consensus (which I agree with based on my own experience) is that it is a problem with the driver beginning in 10.5.
I know the 10.5.3 updates mentions a fix for video/audio USB playback problems, but has anyone using a USB device (to do podcasts, recording music, whatev) downloaded the update? Does it work? I hesitate to considering what the upgrade to Leopard did...

I am also having this problem. Short bursts of static using a USB audio device on my Core 2 Duo Mac Mini.
I am using a Tone Port (the GX and UX1) both exhibit the same problem. Even just playing back an MP3 I may get a burst of static while listening. I never had this problem before.
2 things have changed. The Tone Port Driver and The Tiger Update to 10.4.11
Before I realized it may be an issue with 10.4.11, I reloaded Tiger, got all the updates, then installed the latest drive for the Tone Port. Same issue. I even upgraded to 4 GB of RAM, (for different reasons).
Anyway. I would really like to know if 10.5.3 or higher fixes this. Although I hate Leopard, I would be willing to go there if it resolved this issue.
****, I thought MACs were supposed to be the **** when it came to audio and video. I guess it is all hype.

  • USB Audio Driver

    While attempting to troubleshoot a usb audio problem, I downloded and installed some horrible third party usb audio driver that overwrote the driver that comes standard in OSX.
    I've got the third party driver uninstalled, but now have no USB audio driver at all. Is there some way to reinstall the generic USB audio driver that comes bundled with OSX?
    Message was edited by: Foopaul

    I installed this driver, which somehow replaced the generic usb audio driver.

    I'm digging around in my install cd using pacifist. Any Idea where the audio driver might be?

  • USB Audio Driver need in Digital Audio playback of iPOD in IUI Mode

    In iPOD User Interface Mode for playing the Digital Audio from iPOD using USB, does the complete USB Audio Driver needs to be created or is it enough to set the sampling frequency of the USB ISO endpoint.

    Hi! Did you ever find a solution for this problem? Bought an SB Li've! External just yesterday and on a clean install (Windows XP SP2) I'm having the exact same problem.
    Edit: By switching the USB port from 2.0 (Hi-Speed) to "normal" (USB .x) in the bios I got rid of this problem! Hope this might be of some help to anyone!Message Edited by yuzz on -04-200706:37 PM

  • 9.1.3 crashing whilst recording "error code 1" audio driver problem

    I'm still smarting over a six hour location recording session that Logic ruined for me yesterday - came away with nothing because of this problem.
    Was trying to record a full band - eighth channels simultaneously, using ART Tubefire audio interface into Logic 9.1.3 on my macbook pro.
    It started out OK - no apparent problems when setting up, testing the mics, setting the levels, etc.
    Then as soon as we started trying to record proper takes of the songs, Logic seized up, giving the reason as "error code 1" being returned by the audio driver. this would happen after about half a minute or so of recording apparently normally (sometimes a bit longer, sometimes a bit shorter). It would also give me another error message about the disk being too slow sometimes as well.
    I tried adjusting various settings and preferences (sample rate, buffer size, internal or external clocking, etc. etc.) but nothing worked.
    I restarted the computer and the audio interface. No change.
    Then I tried recording fewer tracks simultaneously (although the computer really should be able to cope with a pretty simple 8-track set-up, as indeed it has done quite happily in the past) but that made no difference either.
    Then I disconnected the firewire connection and tried to see if I could at least record some audio straight into the computer, connecting the headphone out of the Tubefire to the macbook's built-in mic jack. Same problem.
    I don't know how to fix this.
    Help please?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Everyone I know is having issues with Logic 9 and Snow Leopard. If you can, try using Logic 8 and OS 10.5.8 works well for me. 32 tracks for 2 hours. It absolutely will not work if I use a laptop with Snow Leopard.

  • Audio driver problem

    I have what I think is an unusual symptom. My audio device comes and goes. When I have a device, it is a yellow Multimedia Audio Controller. Checking Device Manager tells me that I have no audio device installed. Why not? What happened to my audio device? I have not intentionally removed or disabled it, just one day it wasn't working. I visited Tech Guy and got advice from a few people and the prevailing theme seemed to be one of driver problems. So, I  downloaded  Realtek AC'97 Audio, attempted to install it but got a blue screen (not the BSOD) which said it was shutting me down to prevent damage to my computer and a full screen of info. It shuts down too quickly to read all of the info. Anyone out there got any ideas? I'm using a 6 year old factory refurb T43 with Win Pro.

    @clairienz:
    it looks, that mcq's T43 has flexing of the southbridge - that can happen to every notebook brand and model (my DELL Latitude had the same issue a couple of years ago). The USB 2.0 - message is an indicator for it.
    The Lenovo audio driver in normal cases works fine with XP service pack 3, even it is an older driver.
    One thing very often will be forgotten while installation:
    Executing the downloaded package only extracts it to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\Audio. After that the setup.exe must be executed additionally.

  • IDT Audio Driver Problems on Windows 7

    For the past few weeks, I have been dealing with the same audio swings and speaker problems that many other people here have complained of.  I am aware of the Driver update for those who have Windows 8 computers, but I have a Windows 7.  This computer was bought in last June after my previous HP laptop (which consequently had no issues) needed to be replaced.  Restarting the computer fixes it for a few minutes but it always has issues until it inevitably makes it so I am unable to hear anything or play any videos.  I have uninstalled, deleted, and reinstalled the IDT driver several times including downloadling directly from the HP website. I have sat and watched as the Beats Audio Settings swing back and forth and watched as Windows Explorer crashes because I attempted to change the volume settings on my keyboard.  Most of the time, I can't even restart or shut down my computer anymore, it just stays at a black screen with the power light on until I manually turn it off or the battery dies.
    I'm so frustrated with this and even more so at the fact that a fix has been pushed through for Windows 8 users but you're leaving those of us with Windows 7 stuck with unusable laptops.  Please tell me how I can resolve this issue or point me to someone who can help me replace my laptop.  Thank you.
    P.S. I'm not mad at you, just at the situation, I'm sorry for sounding like a jerk.

    I am wanting to update my computers' drivers and complete the windows updates which it is telling me that I need to complete. For a couple of years now, I have been trying to find a way to sucessfully update my IDT Audio Driver. Whenever the update finishes, I restart my computer and it seems that the driver and/or my hardware has been disconnected. The small speaker icon in the lower right hand corner has a red "x" and it acts as if there are no speakers. I have to complete the system restore and restore my computer to an earlier time (before the "configure IDT Audio" update. Please help! TL;DRIDT Audio Update basically uninstalls the driver or speakers. What is the correct driver/what is the problem?

    Hi Pastypete,
    I’m sorry to hear that the “System Restore” is not working as expected in the computer, the available option to resolve this issue is to install the Audio driver in “Compatibility Mode”. Below are the images to help the installation of driver in compatibility mode, right click on the downloaded file select “Properties” then click on “Compatibility” tab, now below are the images in which the options are selected. Please follow the same and at the end select Apply>OK. Now right click on the file again and select “Run as administrator” option:
    NOTE: As per the 2nd image select Windows 8 in "Run this program in compatibility mode for" option.

  • Audio driver problem for xp

    hi,
    iv downgraded frm vista to xp and the audio wnt work
    iv tried all sorts of sites from lenovo to ms to fix
    the problem but still no solution.everytime i try and
    install audio driver it keeps giving the message
    "HDA driver not installed" .......anysolutions anyone...
    my model is thincentrek200.

    I can give one answer to you problem ( the easiest way)
    1. Go to http://www.realtek.com.tw/ and find the drivers you need, almost all Lenovo products use RealTek
    2. Burn those drivers to a CD\DVD
    3. Delete all video and sound driver
    4. Reboot
    5. When the system ask if you have the drivers, answer yes
    6. Then give them the path where you downloaded the drivers
    That's the easy way, if that does not work for you let me know and I will guide you through the hard way. Let's hope the easy way works for you!

  • Neo 4-F USB External Drive Problems

    Hey guys.
    I have a Neo4-F (PCB 1.0 board) with an AMD 3200+ CPU, 2BG RAM, running Windows XP SP3.
    I have recently purchased a Woxter External Multimedia Player and for some reason it will not install on my system. I first thought it was a software problem (as it works on another XP machine I have) so I reinstalled and tried again. Still wont work. New Hardware icon pops up in taskbar and the device appears in my Device Manager, but it wont appear in Disk Manager.
    I saw that the BIOS updates contain an update for problems with some USB external drives, but I am already running the latest BIOS (verified using LiveUpdate).
    Has anyone had a similar problem that they were able to fix, any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Problem is in Woxter External Multimedia Player. Go and check player configuration. Usually there are two ways how to be detected by PC

  • USB Flash Drive Problems

    Hi
    I have found 2 problems when using USB flash drives. I have a 1GB USB drive that works fine on my iMac running OS X 10.4.7. However, when I delete files on the drive, my USB space capacity does not free up. I realised that what happens is the files deleted get moved into a ".trash" folder which is invisible. I try to delete this folder, but do not have access rights to do so. My only solution is to remove the USB drive and plug into a PC to delete the files. Is there any other way around this?
    Second problem. I have another 4GB USB flash drive. Once plugged into my iMac, nothing is detected. In System Profiler, I can see the device listed, yet it cannot detect the device as a USB mass storage device thus I can't open the drive in Finder to perform any file transfers. I'm sure i have the latest software drivers updated. Again, when this device is plugged into a PC, it works perfectly fine. What can I do?
    Thanks
    G.

    Sorry, I meant if it was seen under system profiler that you could mount it under disk utility.
    Open disk utility up and if the drive is listed on the left source list, highlight it and click "mount" near the top of the disk utility window.
    You should not have to do this and I do not know why the drive is not mounting by itself, but this is a possible workaround.

  • Audio Driver Problems on G710

    Hello.
    I've been having a problem with a very quiet microphone for some time now, I even had an issue of having to open up the IDT control panel and restart the boost microphone option for it to even work. I followed this thread, however, I got stuck on one particular step. After I click on update driver on microphone, stereo mix or speakers, I can't seem to select the new 6.10.6490.0 from C:/Drivers/IDT Audio Driver folder, Windows just says that it determined that the driver is correct and writes up something about AudioEndpoint.inf that it's set up as the driver. I'm looking for the file now, hoping to manage to temporarily disable it. I also can't see any other options when I pick from a list of installed drivers on driver update tab, other than AudioEndpoint and Generic Software Driver. Running Win 8.1 64bit on Lenovo G710.
    Would you please enlighten what could be the problem for me? Thank you very much
    EDIT: Now I have an even bigger problem. I experimented with different IDT driver versions (newer ones), but now when I try to install the recommended 6.10.6490.0 from the support website, it says my hardware is not compatible with that package. I've been trying to look for what it could have changed when I installed the different versions but no luck. Is anyone able to help me with this?

    More than one way to do this.  What works for me is to use "Update Driver" path, then when prompted choose file to update from and broswe to the file or driver that was downloaded to update it.
    Also - you can reboot in "safe mode", uninstall  the driver from the control panel app, then install the correct drivers from download.
    Good luck.
    PS>  Driver Cleaner may be the only other option to try, but it is not freeware, you will need to purchase to use.

    Have you install MS-UAA before Audio driver?
    Please make sure MS-UAA has been installed properly
    How?
    Go to Device Manager under System Devices to see if MS UAA installed properly.
    There should be a listing for Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio.
    If not, you should have a PCI with yellow!
    Install MS-UAA, find it in XP downgrade guide, here
    Try IDT driver from your mode page, here

    After I bought this product I used it to save some documents which includes some very important documents for my studies.
    Now I have trouble with the product and can not get my documents.
    The product cant not response when I plug in to computer.
    I tried Toshiba USB Flash Drive some other computers also but it cant response in any case.
    Is there any way to solve the problem and get my documents back. It did not damage or break.
    thank you..

    Hi
    Usually if the HDD would start to malfunction then the data on this HDD are not more accessible and in most cases you cannot backup this data to any other place.
    Of course there are many specialists and companies who could retrieve and could save the data from damage HDDs but this is very expensive procedure and dont think its worth to spend a lot money for private data..
    However, you can get in contact with an local ASP (Toshiba authorized service partner) if your Toshiba product start to malfunction and is covered by warranty..
