USB output with headset failure!

Hello,
I have a strange problem. The USB port works on both sides
with every other peripheral. Only when I use the headset which
also works (tested on another computer) does the USB output
not work at all. The audio mini jack port works too!
The preferences audio DO recognize the USB headset! The
input registers a voice too! Tried Audio Midi too! Please help!!!

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Sometimes USB issues can be fixed by resetting the Power Management Unit (PMU). See this Apple article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449

    using usb mic with logic output stops

    Aggregate devices are setup in the Audio/Midi setup of OSX Utilities, (Not in Logic). It gives you a way of having for than one audio i/o device. Once you have set up your aggregated devices in Audio/Midi, when you start Logic you will need to go into Audio preferences and choose the Aggregate device.

    I have a turntable with a USB output and SOUNDSTUDIO3 software. I cannot"find" any audio to record. Can someone help "Denny-Dumb-Butt" see what he is doing wrong??  THANKS!!!

    Did you also check if your USB device shows up in System Preferences > Sound?
    I have an iMic USB "dongle" and need to select it if I want to record from an external source into Sound Studio 3. You need to check both the Input and Output.

  • Mirroring input to output on NI usb-6259 (with or without DSP)

    Hi, I'm new to Labview and I am looking to make a vi that reads a digital waveform in and echoes that waveform out on another pin, preferrably after having undergone some logical switching for channel selection purposes.
    I have tried looking through and modifying the example vi's (e.g. Multi-Function-Synch AI-AO.vi ) with little luck. It seems that the best I can do is to generate a square/triangle/sine wave at a frequency that is governed by my external clock trigger... No data echoing for anything complex.
    Can anyone offer me some pointers on where to start with this IO stuff?
    Ideally from a "block diagram" point of view, I'd like to have my external waveform generator running an external trigger to a DAQ pin, use that to trigger sampling on another (digital) IO pin, send that data to the DSP blocks, and then finally echo the data out to another IO pin...
    I've tried constructing this setup in all the "intuitive" ways I can think of, and have sort of struck out.
    Please help?

    Hello Godzilla,
    In order to do synchronized digital input and output you will need to route your external trigger through a "dummy" analog input task.  The reason for this is that the digital I/O tasks do not support start triggers.  By using the analog input sample clock and starting the digital tasks before the analog input they will be started at the same time and thus be synchronized.
    I would recommend starting with the Multi-Function-Synch AI-Read Dig Chan.vi example program.  This example does everything you need to do for the digital input; the only thing you need to change to the source input of the DAQmx Timing VI for the analog input task.  Right click the source input and create a constant, then choose the PFI line you want to route your external trigger in on.
    At this point you'll have a program that uses your external sample clock and you have the ability to add a digital output task that will be synchronized with your input.  To add this digital output task I would suggest the Cont Write Dig Port-Ext Clk-Non Regeneration.vi example.  If you copy this example into the other one and merge the two while loops you'll only have a few modifications to make.
    Here are some things you'll need to change:
    1.  Route the same analog input sample clock to the source terminal of the DAQmx Timing VI for the digital output task.
    2.  Buffer the output with the data you want by changing the data input to the DAQmx Write VI.
    Non-regeneration keeps the digital output from looping previous data.  This will allow you to know if you are buffering output data fast enough.  If you have trouble running this loop with your analysis then I would recommend implementing data pipelining.  For an overview of what pipelining is please see this article:  http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6425
    In general control loops are not recommended on Windows operating systems.  However, depending on the analysis you're doing, your computer, and what loop rate you're looking to get it can be possible with good programming techniques.  The fastest I would recommend trying to execute your loop on a Windows OS is on the order of 10ms (give or take depending on your computer and analysis).  If you need to execute this control loop faster than 1ms I would recommend considering a Real-Time operating system.  We have benchmarked PID control loops on Real-Time operating systems at more than 30 kHz.
    I hope this helps get you started, and if you'd like to talk with someone at National Instruments about Real-Time control loops feel free to contact us directly using the information at www.ni.com/contact.
    Have a great day!

  • PAIRIG IPHONE AND IPOD with headset

    I have Ipod Touch 4 gen 64gb, whichs my primary music device, I now have Iphone 5 16gb, which I have need store music, being I have the touch...
    I have Sony DRBT01 Headphones. Which allows me connect two devices a media device, and phone.
    The issue the phone is paired with headset (phones are paired first), its pairing as media and phone.
    This prevent the ipod from pairing.
    I on my  droid phones I was albe to disable the media from pairing. I have used for users with Ipod and droids, I see no option on Iphone for this.
    I do not wish use icloud,Imatch, makes sense. I have music I need on a device.
    I do not wish to snyc music on Iphone, Its too small.
    Thanks for any help, on this.
    I have looked for apps but nothing fixed the issue.

    There are very few if any docks that are compatible with all functions of all ipods as well as the iphone 3G. Even Apple can scarcely manufacture one (although with a series of adaptors and optional cables they sell a "universal dock"). One of the biggest issues is the charging, as the 3G only charges via the 5 volt USB standard. I don't think there is a risk of damage, but an incoming call could generate some noise artifacts in your sound system. Have you been able to output video from your phone with that dock, and does it charge? BTW which dock are you using?

  • Audio No Longer Working on USB Output

    Hi,
    I've been using Audirvana, Bit Perfect, and other music software applications with iTunes. 
    Last night I unhooked the power cord and the music stopped playing.  I've tried everything and anything to fix this but I am no longer getting audio out from my USB port (I've tried both ports).
    When I go into Audo MIDI Setup I see my bridge (Musical Fidelity USB -> SPDIF Converter) as always.  However, when I select it and "Use This Device for Sound Output" nothing happens and it doesn't change (it stays on either Airplay or Built-in Output).
    In addition, I am unable to change anything on the USB Output (Master Volume, Analog 1, Analog 2...the only thing I an do is 'mute' which I don't want to do). 
    When I look at my Musical Fidelity Bridge and DAC it *appears* that they are getting signals - they both say 'Locked' when a signal is present.
    I wonder if it's because the volume on my USB output is so low and I can't change it?  See picture.
    Please help!  The only reason I have this MacBook Pro is to play music through my system. 

    Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.

  • Using USB preamp with Garageband

    Garageband will not recognize my microphone for some reason. I am using an M-Audio USB Preamp, with a Behringer condensor microphone. I have changed the input/output settings in both the mac settings and the garageband settings to "M-Audio Mobilepre USB." Garageband must recognize the preamp because it has it as an option in the input and output. The computer hears the microphone, because the input level bar in system preferences responds to sound. Garageband works fine with the built in mic, and the microphone volume is maxed, so I know that isn't it. Any help?

    How did you figure it out?
    I've been trying to plug my Gibson into Garage Band but all i get is feedback. I seemed to have followed all the same steps as you. From researching on-line right now it looks like I might have to get a pre-amp... you know anything about that?
    any help would be cool.
    thanks!

  • [SOLVED] How to automatically mount USB drives with custom mount point

    edit:
    Original title was : 'Unable to mount USB disk via /etc/rc.local', but got changed since the /etc/rc.local problem isn't relevant for me anymore.
    Hello,
    Since I am new to this forum, I'll start off with this :
    Thanks to archlinux, its founder and all its contributors, cause this is the operating system (flavour) that annoys me the least.
    The root problem :
    I want to automount USB storage devices to other places than /media/ and without the need for programs that depend on gnome and the like. As I tried some stuff with hald and such, I didn't really get to a nice and easy to configure solution. Any hints in that direction are always welcome.
    For now, automount of known USB storages devices during boot, will do.
    So the things I tried and didnt work :
    1.
    Provide the disk info to /etc/fstab (via the disks UUID and 'auto' filesystem)
    Add 'mount /mountpoint' to /etc/rc.local
    Result : the mount command in rc.local says '... specify filesystem'
    However, after boot, running /etc/rc.local mounts the USB disks correctly.
    2.
    Provide the disk info to /etc/fstab (via the disks UUID and the correct filesystem)
    Add 'mount /mountpoint' to /etc/rc.local
    Result : pc doesn't get through boot process and gives me the 'ctrl-d to reboot or root passwd for maintenance'
    3.
    Provide no disk info in /etc/fstab
    Add the full mount line to /etc/rc.local (mount -t fs /dev/disks/by-uuid/MyUUID /MyMountpoint )
    Result : don't remember the output of the mount execution, but well, it didn't mount
    However, after boot, running /etc/rc.local mounts the USB disks correctly.
    Is there something that isn't loaded at the time of rc.local execution that I need for mounting of USB devices ? Or why else is this failing ?

    Thanks for the hint hunterthomson, but the pc I will be using it on, is an own-built HTPC/home file server, so there is no way I want to use a graphical file manager to get the usb disks mounted.
    I tried to figure out a little about udev rules, and I got to do what I wanted to do, so thx for pointing me in that direction Mr.Elendig.
    Btw, I am indeed also using auto-sleep/park disks, but this udev way works perfectly.
    I added two rules files to /etc/udev/rules.d/ :
    The first for a known usb disk (with its volume uuid), with a named mountpoint under my media dir /symbiosis/ :
    [basik@plox ~]$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/80-usb-utopia.rules
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="a59332c2-07ba-4c52-afb5-20e361bdf71a",SYMLINK+="usb-%n", GROUP="storage", NAME="%k"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="a59332c2-07ba-4c52-afb5-20e361bdf71a",RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /symbiosis/utopia"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="a59332c2-07ba-4c52-afb5-20e361bdf71a", RUN+="/bin/mount -t auto -o rw,noauto,sync,dirsync,noexec,nodev,noatime /dev/%k /symbiosis/utopia", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="a59332c2-07ba-4c52-afb5-20e361bdf71a", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /symbiosis/utopia", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    The second for unknown usb disks, to mount under the same dir. This is simply taken from the archwiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ude … .26_Tricks
    Make sure these rules are executed after the ones for specific usb disks.
    [basik@plox ~]$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/usb-disks.rules
    KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="usb%m", GROUP="storage", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", SYMLINK+="usb%n", GROUP="storage", NAME="%k"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /symbiosis/usb%n"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/mount -t auto -o rw,noauto,sync,dirsync,noexec,nodev,noatime /dev/%k /symbiosis/usb%n", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /symbiosis/usb%n"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /symbiosis/usb%n", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    These may not be the nicest looking udev rules, but it works for what I wanted to do with it.

  • Proxy client (over USB connection) with DHCP assigned IP address doesn't work with FRDM-K64F

    Hello,
    after reading about the issues on this forum with a static IP address on the Freescale FRDM-K64F board I went for an DHCP address but I can't get the proxy client to work over a USB connection with DHCP either.

    Any ideas or am I missing something completely?
    Thanks

    Hi, Andy. Please excuse my ignorance, I am very new at this ME embedded stuff. I had my challenges, but was finally able to get my board up with a static address. I went through a lot of headaches, but finally got the board flashed with the latest bin. I then updated the jwc_properties.ini file on the SD card to include:
    # Whether static configuration or DHCP server is used do get IP address. Possible values: dhcp,static
    ip.method = static
    # IP address,used with static IP configuration only
    ip.addr = 192.168.0.30
    # Network mask,used with static IP configuration only
    ip.netmask = 255.255.255.0
    # Network gateway,used with static IP configuration only
    ip.gateway = 192.168.0.1
    # DNS server,used with static IP configuration only
    ip.dns = 208.67.222.222
    # MAC address
    mac.addr = 01:02:03:04:05:06
    I was then put the card into the board, disconnected both USB cables, and then powered it up. From that point I was able to ping the board. I can now use Device Manager in NetBeans to connect to the device.
    I am struggling quite a bit with many issues. It seems that when I try to stop the app from NetBeans, the "please wait" dialog hangs forever. I have to use Windows Task Manager to kill the "JavaW" process tree and reconnect the board.
    I have also had trouble understanding the GPIO pin assignments. Another gotcha was trying to use the AutoStart feature. Since the sample app never cleanly exited, I thought that I bricked the board. The secret is to power it down, remove the SD card, and then delete all files EXCEPT the jwc_properties.ini file, put the SD card back in, then power up. It seems that the board forgets that the MIDlet was installed.
    Hope this helps others out there.
    Please everybody, post your experiences here. There seem to be very few of us, and finding pearls in the dust is rare right now.
    Regards,
    Pete

  • Kindly assist with repeated failure to correctly install iTunes on Windows7 Professional. Thanks. Bobby

    Could I please be assisted with recurrent failure for iTunes to install correctly on my Dell desktop running Windows7 Professional? Thank you. Bobby

    Well, I found a workaround for my issue. It's described in this article:
    [url="iPod not recognized correctly on Toshiba laptop"]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300836[/url]
    By disabling the "Sandard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" in device manager, my iPod was correctly recognized and I was able to sync with iTunes. That's the good news.
    The bad news is that: a) Windows warns me that my "device can operate faster if connected to a USB 2.0 port" - and the sync with iTunes runs slowly; b) if I reanable that USB device (as suggested in the Apple article, my iPod is no longer recognized.
    For now, I'll just disable this device when I need to sync, then reenable it when done. But this is going to be a pain. I really don't consider this a fix. It's really annoying that the iPod is the only USB device that requires this kind of nonsense.
    Looking forward to a "real" fix for this some time soon.

  • USB 5.1 Headset w/ Audigy 2- is it compatib

    I am planning on getting a 5. headset. The only question I have is weather the Audigy 2 soundcard would control it or not, because of the chip that it comes with- an Integrated USB audio chip with 5. decoder, it would seem that it doesn't need or would use the Audigy 2 at all.
    Also it does not plug directly into the soundcard.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.Message Edited by Arrmed on 03-28-2005 0:53 AM

  • TC wireless failed; Use as USB backup with Netgear R7000 as router?

    TC wireless failed. Can TC (500Gb hard drive) be  used as USB backup with Netgear R7000 as router or to nearby iMac?

    No, you cannot use the USB to access an internal disk in the TC.
    If its wireless has failed the rest will not be far behind.. the 500GB is Gen1 or early Gen2.. and they are simply failing in numbers.. you can probably repair it with a power supply, I kind of doubt the wireless itself would die but is symptomatic of failure of the unit as a whole.
    If you want a backup just buy a large USB drive and plug it straight into the iMac. Choose the fastest interface you can afford.. ie firewire 800 is still head and shoulders better than usb2.. but usb3 or thunderbolt in the later machines are a big improvement.. with the later costing an arm and leg still, with most of the bits in between.

  • USB output devices and GarageBand 08

    I have seen several posts discussing that Garage Band 08 does not use the USB Companion 5 speakers as an output. Does anyone know if there is a way to get Garage Band to use USB as an output? Additionally does anyone know if Apple has any plans to support USB output? I have some expensive speakers going to waste with Garage Band.

    Not from what I have seen in the threads and throught my own personal experience. My Itunes plays great through the Bose Speakers. In Garage Band if I choose Built in as the Audio Output Channel...no probs...if I change it to USB Bose or Match Systems settings which are also USB....Garage band hangs and I get the rainbow wheel of death when I do anything.
