USB Audio Power feature

Did you know USB Audio Power continuously delivers a stable 5V to the USB ports on #MSI Z97 and X99 GAMING motherboards, delivering perfect audio quality for USB headsets and USB DAC devices? #GamingStartsHere

this provide the gamer a super experience of sound!
Stable 5V makes the sound even better and better.
Besides,when wearing a high end head set,the sound would be comparatively sensitive!
Thus I think it's quite important!

  • Micro usb audio out feature addition request

    so i had a pair on micro usb headphones out and i thought it would work on my stream 7, because of the buzzing problem. However it doesnt work and windows dosnt seem to read it either. Any way for a bios update for the stream 7 so micro usb audio out will work, and any hp prgram for them to make, so i can use headphones.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I know of no device that has OTG "Built in".. so with that said...Micro USB headphones are in more of a testing phase, and only supported by a select few phones/tablets. The device itself has to be "usb headphone aware" because normaly none of these devices default to host mode (ie none of them react to usb connections in the same way a PC/laptop does). 
    USB phones have been around for a while, and if MicroUSB headphones have a fall back that allows it to be detected as a sound device by any usb host port then using an OTG cable (You will probably need an adapter to convert the Type A connection back to Micro B) it should work fine on the Stream 7. However my understanding is microusb headphones are being designed around a more direct support from mobile devices, much like MHL offered HDMI over usb. 

  • IPhone 4 USB Audio output?

    I'd like to know when/if the iPhone 4 will offer USB audio output (digitally). I'd like to use a USB DAC without having to pay ~$600 for a Cypher Labs Algorhythm Solo. I'm not asking for power, as my DAC has its own battery. Is it about money for licensing? The CLAS works...why not a FiiO E17 via the iPad CCK? Android has USB host capability...
    Sean

    Speculation and rumors are forbidden by the terms of service. The phone doesn't support it. Apple has made no announcement of such a feature or the intent to implement such a feature. Your question can not be answered. There are plenty of cheap docking speakers, alarm clocks, etc. that use audio out from the dock. It's not a matter of money. The system you refer to is expensive because the manufacturer feels they can charge that much and get away with it.

  • USB audio device no longer working w/ new kernel

    Hi, all--
    I have a Creative SoundBlaster Live! 24 external USB audio box which I have been using for probably 3 years--with Arch Linux and without any significant trouble. Suddenly, after a full system upgrade (so that I am now running the 2.6.27-ARCH kernel), it is not working. Alsamixer doesn't detect it, and the power LED on the box is dark (it draws power through the USB connection).
    So far, the only relevant info I have found is in /var/log/messages. For USB connections I primarily use an add-on USB card plugged into a PCI socket (it's an Adaptec USB 2.0 card ... I can find more specifics if needed). That card has 2 ports, and I usually have the USB audio box and an external hub plugged into it. I currently have a printer plugged into the external hub. The hub and the printer were successfully detected at the last bootup, but

  • This device cannot start (Code 10) with Rocksmith Realtone Cable (USB Audio)

    Hi there.
    Let me start off by saying that my problem is specific to only windows 8.1 64x and deals with usb devices. 
    My specs:
    Crucial MX100 ssd
    Win 8.1 Pro 64x
    MSI Gtx 970
    MSI Gaming 5 z97
    i7-4790k
    I'm trying to connect my Rocksmith Realtone cable (usb audio) to a usb port on my pc and whenI right click the "Usb audio device) in device manager, this pops up under properties. There is also a yellow exclamation mark on the device.
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    The I/O request was canceled."
    Now, like I said, this is only on win 8.1 64x. I installed win 7 64x on an older hdd and put it in my pc and the cable was recognized right away and was usable. I have tried:
    Manually uninstalling the device, and reinstalling
    Manually installing the device driver
    Formatted ssd and did a fresh install of win 8.1
    Tried it on win 7 with same pc and it worked fine
    Updated realtek drivers
    Updated Nvidia drivers
    Disabled xHCI in bios
    Disabled legacy usb support in dios
    Disabled eHCI in bios
    Enabled usb powered hubs in bios
    Disabled selected powering in power options + made a new high performance profile
    Here are photos of the problem

    http://puu.sh/gPfNm/9e63769f7d.png
    Every other usb device I have/try works. I tested all my usb 2.0 and usb 3.0 ports and they all work with my mouse, keyboard, and flash drive.
    I'm not really sure where to go from here. I contacted Ubisoft (maker of the game Rocksmith) and they said it was a driver issue and I haven't received any more help. I'd really rather not need to dual boot win 7 and win 8.1 just to  use the cable. 

    Paul
    Given what the cable does and what device manager looks like it is a driver issue.  Their driver.  Your best bet is to contact the developer BUT I do wonder if you have tried re-installing the driver in compatibility mode for win 7
    To install in compatibility mode do the following:
    Right click the installer>properties>compatibility>choose OS
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows?SignedIn=1
    (works in vista, win 7, win 8, and win 10)

  • USB audio out not getting to DAC

    Just set up my Macbook late 2007 OS 10.7.5 to a Denon DA-300USB DAC.
    I'm successfully playing files out of JRiver Media Center software via Mac's digital audio out through an optical audio cable. But optical audio has limitations on bitrate, only to 24-bit/96khz.
    I want to use higher rates and have some higher res files. The DA-300USB can process up to 24/192 and DSD files using USB.
    When I connect the DAC using USB and power on the DAC, the sound preference pane adds the option "Audio Out High Speed USB," which is what I select. This indicates the computer is seeing the DAC.
    But when I play a file, the DAC display reads "unlock," meaning it's not receiving audio. And the sound plays through the internal speakers, Ugh!
    Denon says no driver is needed for this device -- indeed the computer does detect a USB audio connection when the DAC is on.
    Is there something I'm missing?

    According to Crutchfield, this DAC can only process ALAC up to 96 kHz.  Can you get lower res files to play using the USB connection?

  • Z77MA G-45 Usb audio issues.

    I recently purchased an MSI Z77MA G-45 motherboard for recording music. I have ran into issues from the start. The usb ports appear to be causing crackling and popping whenever I plug in my M-audio fast track Usb or my Focusrite Saffire 2i2. I have the latest drivers for everything installed. I have the latest bios v1.8. Every other bsb device seems to perform fine. I have both of these usb audio devices working properly on my older core 2 duo setup with no problems. My power supply is in fine working condition and the voltage does not fluctuate when these devices are running. I have tried disabling HPET, Turbo Boost Etc, with no luck.
    I began to think that it was the motherboard so I sent it in for RMA twice. The first time it was "repaired" it was sent to me unable to boot. The second time it was sent back it still ceases to function with these devices. The other computer components are fine. I believe the usb ports are defective. Does anyone have any advice? I would rather have a new motherboard returned if I have to RMA it again, or would prefer a refund. I have only had it about three months. It unfortunately passed the refund time with the original company I bought it from.

    Ah ok, try updating to the most recent beta bios:
    >>Beta BIOSes<<
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
    Download the latest file to your desktop but don't decompress.
    Then use option 1 of the flash tool and let the tool prepare you flash drive for flashing.
    Then boot to the flash drive and follow the on screen direction.
    Once complete you will need to re-install the ME drivers from Intel Downloads:

  • Displayport audio vs USB audio

    I have pre-Thunderbolt 27 display that is offering my 2011 Mac Mini 2 audio options : Display Port vs USB audio
    Now, I beleive if I will have to plug in the USB cable either way, to ge the USB hub, microphone, camera to work.
    So I don't believe I can necessarily save the USB port (if I could, then why would there be Thunderbolt?).
    What I want to know is there any advantage to using Display Audio over USB ?
    - Is the sound any better ?
    - When I am using USB networking for other purposes, will Display Audio have less USB bus contention and play better ?
    - Similar as above, when playing music over Display Port, will my USB devices be faster due to less contention ?
    I am leaning towards Display Port audio unless someone can give a definitive answer
    Thanks.

    You say 'no', but then why did they add the option on the Mac Mini? ie It wasn't to free the USB connector,  as that is still used anyhow for the camera, mic, usb hub and software updates.
    Software updates?  Not sure what that has to do with this.  But anyhow I have a mac pro with a 27" mini-displayport apple display and both options are available too.  It has nothing to do with power (I'm certainly not underpowered).  It's simply that those ports are available audio out devices.
    On my old Macbook Pro, when viewing live video from my Hauppagauge HDPVR via a different USB port on the Mac (not the screen), the sound was sometimes choppy if I was doing other tasks as well.
    You machine has its limits in processing power and is probably having trouble using too many processor intensive processes.  Use your Activity Monitor to see which processes are using large amounts of cpu time.
    The display has a USB hub that chains of the USB port, so if have other devices working like my external USB Bluray drive, then I think there could be contention when using that also when reading/writing.
    Contention is managed everywhere; hard drives, usb buss, fireware buss,  pci buss, memory buss, and any others I can't think of at the moment.  You're splitting hairs worrying about sending audio to usb ports which is a blip on the overall processing of generating that audio in the first place.  In other words its the processes and efficiency of your machine that are a bootleneck.
    So I am really hoping someone will confirm that the audio data was moved to the mini-display plug to provide more bandwidth via the USB controller, or to guarantee bandwidth for consistent audio.
    Good luck with that.

  • Adobe Audition 3.0 "Audio Hardware Settings" for USB Audio Interface HELP!

    Hi guys.
    I’m after some help in the internal settings of Adobe Audition 3.0 whilst I’m trying to run my condenser mic through my ART USB Dual Pre.
    I have the USB Dual Pre all set up in my Windows 7 set up (it automatically becomes the default recording device when it’s plugged in), phantom power enabled, XLR cable plugged into the right socket of the two available (is there any difference? I’m just recording voice tracking for radio announcements), headphones plugged into the monitoring jack at the back. Levels are turned up enough that they will pick up the noise, if there was any.
    I go to the “edit” tab in Adobe Audition 3.0, hit record and nothing comes up. I’m not getting any sound at all registered on the computer. I’ve downloaded and installed Asio4All, but can’t for the life of me figure out the configuration within the “Edit > Audio Hardware Setup” to make the damn thing pick up my voice. There’s mention of Audio Drivers (Asio4All or Audition 3.0 Windows Sound), USB Audio Codecs, Input/Output… it’s enough to make a man who’s not very good at this sort of thing cry (ie. Me).
    Could anybody help a body out, please? I think I’ve done everything right except the configuration within Audition itself. A helping hand would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks so much!

    Hey there,
    Thanks for your reply! I'm not too good at describing what I'm doing, so I've taken screenshots of all the options in "Edit > Audio Hardware Settings" under Edit View and Multitrack view. They include both Audio Drivers available (which were Asio4All and Audition 3.0 Windows Sound) and the associated Default Input/Output options, as well as the Audio Driver control panels and the options that were checked/unchecked on them.
    If anybody could tell me how to configure this so I can actually record from my USB Dual Pre, that would be one better than I can do!
    Thanks heaps.

  • Why are USB audio accessories being locked out of the iPod Touch 4G?

    It's very strange. First the camera kit was never allowed to work on neither the iPhone or iPod touch. I can understand that; the iPad has more reserve power. But since the analog inputs were deprecated on the iPhone 4G and iPod Touch 4G, there has been talk but no action on replacements allowing stereo audio input to these devices via USB.
    Now I've started to notice a pattern: USB audio accessories like Apogee's Jam and Fostex's Ar-4i originally were advertised as working on both devices, but as they are released, they become only available to the iPhone. Since these are self-powered devices, there doesn't appear to be any reason for this distinction. Does anyone know why this is so? Thanks.

    It's a mystery....

  • Satellite M40: USB Audio doesn't work properly in ACPI mode

    Hi all,
    I just bought a Satellite M40 laptop which purpose will be to be used as a mobile audio system.
    For that, USB audio devices are a great solution.
    Unfortunately, although it was working properly while recording (sound is perfect with all USB Audio compliant devices I could test), there's an issue in Playback as I got lots of clicks and pops.
    After lots of tryings and google searches, I fixed the problem by switching from ACPI computer to Standard PC mode.
    That's a workaround.
    But this way, I don't know anymore what's my battery status, and my laptop do not shutdown automatically.
    In fact, my laptop is no more managed as a laptop :(
    I suspect a very serious issue in one of the Toshiba components management. Especially, I would not surprised to be told that power management leads to some regular short system freeze, and thus the 10ms USB audio buffers fall into underrun.
    This would not bother me so much if I was not part of the technical support team of a company that is also launching some new USB audio products that will fail to work properly with laptops.
    My question is :
    Is there any driver / bios update that gets rid of this issue ?
    If someone from the Toshiba technical support wants to handle this issue directly with me, I would be pleased to help him, as I'm concerned professionnaly and personnaly.
    Thanks in advance.
    [Edited by: admin]

    Thanks for your help Jeffrey,
    But
    - I checked with several USB audio devices, from different providers. The issue is the same.
    - I checked with several applications (Winamp, MediaPlayer, ...). Same issue.
    - I checked these devices with different laptops (tried 3 different models) : I have NO PROBLEM.
    - The USB devices I use do not need external power supply. I tried EDIROL UA-25 which works perfectly in any case, but not with my TOSHIBA M40.
    - I agree that some application can disturb audio management. But in that case, I would like to know which one from the standard installation is the cause, so that I can fire it. It's anyway curious to see that switching from ACPI to Standard mode fixes the issue, as all applications are still there. I would say the applications are not the issue, then.
    - All Microsoft updates have already been installed
    - I think I tried everything that could be done by closing applications, changing power management modes, system cache, ...
    - I have no other hardware device connected/installed (printer or whatever)
    - RECORD works perfectly. So if some application layer was disturbing, I would bet it would bother in Play and Record as well.
    CONCLUSION : Unless someone can prove it (and I'm ready for some testing), I still believe there's a harware/driver layer that is faulty in the Toshiba management.
    And I don't need to contact the manufacturer, as I AM one of them :)
    If you are part of the Toshiba support, let me know. Maybe we can investigate together.
    FYI : I had to create a new user ID for this forum as it did not accept the one I created this morning anymore :(
    Thanks anyway.

  • HP Slatebook 14 Android USB Audio

    Hi, 
    Can someone tell me if my USB-DAC HRT Musicstreamer II+ would work with Hp Slatebook 14 Adnroid laptop 4.3 jelly bean? Both has type-A usb plugs and I can provide power to DAC from another source if this laptop can't provide it.

    Thank you for your answers.

    Hey @HKI15 ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand you're looking for information on compatibility with a USB sound card.
    It has proved difficult to find detailed specifications for the device to really give you a direct answer. According to the information page it only lists Windows, Mac, and Linux using the Audio Class 1 drivers that are pre-installed in their operating systems.
    This doesn't really mean that it won't work, but it might not work. For any USB device to work on the Android operating system it requires 2 things: The host device needs OTG support (which the Slatebooks do) and the software needs to support the hardware.This means you may not be able to use the USB audio playback option natively on the system, but should be able to find some apps on the Play Store that can do it.
    My best answer I can give you is: Try it and see what happens!
    Thanks.

  • Why won't 'Speakable Items' Work with USB Audio Input Device (Lexicon Lambda)?

    I am new to Apple Macs, yay for me!
    I really want to use the 'Speakable Items' feature but unfortunately it just won't work with my Lexicon Lambda external USB Audio device.
    Now, the Lambda is plugged in and working, and I know this from using the "Diction' feature which works perfectly.
    When I go to System Preferences and click on accessibility>'Speakable items' and I turn on speakable items, I notice that under 'microphone' I'm unable to calibrate the microphone for some reason (if that's at all relevant).
    I follow the instructions and have been asking 'what time is it?' and nothing happens
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem, using 10.8.4. I have been using Speakable Items for a long time, but it's not reacting at all anymore. I'm on a Mac Mini and have tried several inputs, that all work with dictation, and are selectable inputs for Speakable Items. Zoom H4N, Apogee Duet and an UAD Apollo. The only problem I can see, aside from something in the OS, would be that I have SoundFlower and WavTap installed. Will try uninstalling them, to see if that helps.

  • Bad noise from USB audio input

    Using Roland UA-30 USB audio input device with ibook 1.2ghz with Logic Pro 7.
    Getting nasty noise. Any other ways of getting audio into my ibook without the fuzz and buzz ?

    ok first of all to help your ibook 1.2ghz's power, upgrade your rams, atleast 1.5GB, safer side will be 2.5GB
    2) get the pro app if you haven't done so
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/proapplicationsupport30macosx1039.html
    3) I was gonna say get the latest update for the UA-30 but it comes with OSX
    4) try not to set you buffer size too high, try around 128-256 or better 512
    5) make sure your cables are good/pro cables
    6) record using other applications to see if its logic or just the card itself
