Which OS you are using (W2k or XP)?
Have you tried to connect it "on the fly".
Remove USB cable and restart you laptop. Then when Windoes is up and running, connect the cards USB cable back to laptops USB port.
Now OS should give you an information 'bout Found/Installing New USB Device (or something like that) if your card is not properly set/installed before. If it asks for drivers let it look the best (since drivers are installed already). etc.

How to connect my iphone 4s to a USB sound card for 5.1 speakers?

How to connect my iphone 4s to a USB sound card for 5.1 speakers?

You can't:
1. iPhone sound output is stereo, not Dolby 5.1 compatible.
2. iPhones do not connect sound output by standard USB. The connecting device has to be iPhone compatible.

USB Sound Card usb_set_interface failed

Hi all,
My sound seems to work for a while (pure ALSA at the moment, though I've had the same error using pulse too), then an event (mostly pause) seems to cause sound to stop working without a reboot. Here's the relevant information:

This has been driving me nuts for a while now, and I can't find a solution. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Google is your friend. I cant recommend one directly because i dont have one, but using this search term "USB Sound Card mac" a whole host of stuff comes up. YMMV: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en-us&q=USBSound+Cardmac&btnG=Search
I would however suggest investing a reasonable sum of cash in an external sound-card in order to make sure it is an "upgrade"

USB sound card crackling when changing nr of channels in ALSA

Hello! I have read the alsa config and some related posts from brebs (https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=10353) and I setup upmixing to 5.1 and dmix with a USB sound card. It works, but the sound is constantly crackling. I have simplified my .asoundrc to find out where did this problem came from and I got this:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix6"
pcm.dmix6 {
type asym
playback.pcm {
type dmix
ipc_key 567829
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
channels 6
It strill crackles with this config but when I change the channels to 2 there is no crackling anymore. I messed with buffer_size and period_size but the problem persists. Using surround51 does not fix it either. Thank you!
Edit: Forgot to mention my sound card, it's a Sweex SC016.

USB Sound Card: dual stereo output?

I recently bought a Channel Audio Sound Card Adapter which would channel sound through my computer's USB port. Pretty standard it would allow for Stereo headphone out and microphone input:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-2-0-Virtual-7-1-Channel-Audio-Sound-Card-Adapter-3 D-for-XP-Windows-7-Mac-/321480885369?pt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_SoundCar ds&hash=item4ad9c10479
I opted for it so I could control from my menu bar where the sound was being directed: http://www.cnet.com/uk/how-to/how-to-quickly-change-audio-output-in-os-x/
However I do not need the microphone in, but do need a second stereo headphone out and would like to know if:
a) A USB adapter exists that will encompass two stereo headphone ports, not a microphone?
b) Whether OS X will be able to distinguish the two so I can control which headphones are in use at any one time from a single USB Sound Card dongle? (note: I am not looking for a Y splitter)
I have read of some OS X software called "SoundSource" from RogueAmoeba, but this has been retired - it would allow for me to flip the microphone port so it would transmit sound, even through the microphone socket, I might have been able to get around it like that? Is there anything else that may be available that could do the job?
Also, I was wondering, if I had to get another USB Sound Card, could I use a USB splitter so that I could plug two USB spun cards into one port and with no loss of quality? USB ports are a premium on my computer.

USB Sound Card

I'm looking for a USB sounds card so that I can plug my guitar and speakers into my MacBook. It's the 13 inch model so only has the one jack.
I think it would be good to get a 5.1 usb sound card for the future as I plan on getting some 5.1 speakers. Could anyone recommend a solution thats not too expensive (under £25?).
I saw one that also had a USB hub and ethernet adaptor in it, but i'm not sure if it worked with OS X...
http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/GIGASTOREAUDIOHUBUK
Thanks for any advice!

Hi amck77 and welcome to the forums
The hub you link to used to cost $130US, and I very much doubt that it would work effectively without appropriate drivers & software (which don't seem to be available for Macs) though it may still be able to perform some functions . Even people with Toshiba notebooks seem to be having trouble with under recent versions of Windows. It has now been discontinued, too, I gather.
I'm no expert on this stuff butt might be better to focus on something like the "Maya" range for your needs (see http://www.floridamusicco.com/proddetail~prod~mayaex5ce.htm for example), or perhaps some of the "Creative Labs" gear.

USB sound card sound drop outs and glitches

Hi there, I have been using a Lexicon Omega USB sound card with my Macbook Pro unibody and have been experiencing a failure when running two programs that try to output sound.
e.g. iTunes will be constantly playing music and another program such as safari pings me when I have a Facebook chat message or if there is a sound when a file has finished copying or i try to play a youtube video at the same time or I play a track in spotify, the sound card freaks out and makes clipped distorted noises then stops outputting sound to the amp and seems to stop receiving a USB signal.
The curious thing is that after reconnecting the usb cable, all is fine again and both programs WILL play simultaneously, so it should be possible?
This is really starting to drive me a bit mad as I cant play music and chat online at the same time without the sound crashing.
I presume it has something to do with what program is assigned to the core audio driver and another program confuses it, like when running Logic Pro which seems to take over the whole sound card for its functions and won't share.
Perhaps there is something in OS X I could fix or change to get round this or perhaps its just the sound card not working properly and not the fault of OS X.
Would be grateful for any advice or if anyone else has this issue.
Harvey

Be absolutely certain that all of your 3rd party software is fully compatible with Snow Leopard - visit the manufs. sites for updates & info until you're current, etc.

USB Sound Card won't Show in Sys. Pref. Sound Pane

Hi, This has problem has happened occurred recently. I bought a USB Sound Card and it was working fine. I also have a USB Microphone that was working fine. (I am a DJ) I have a USB MIDI Turntable also, it works. One thing I could not get to work at all; MIDI I/O to USB adapter.
Everything has been working, except the MIDI I/O to USB adapter. All of a sudden everything stopped working except my turntable. It all shows up in System Profiler, but not in the Sound Preference Pane in System Preferences. I don't know why they stop working all of a sudden.
Plus one thing that I have had problems with. MIDI I/O to USB adapter does not work with any program. I bought it, it is plug and play, and it shows up in System Profiler. But it won't show up in the Audio Midi Setup.
Any Suggestions?

UPDATE: I got the MIDI I/O to USB adapter working. Now I just need to get the USB Microphone and USB Sound Card to work.

How do you set a usb sound card as the default sound device for all programs?

I'm running cmus for a music player and it works fine with the internal speakers on my macbook pro. I'm using a usb sound card for a set of 5.1 surround speakers and cmus won't send it's audio to the usb sound card. I've also tried several other programs for audio and it seems to be hit or miss with being able to use the usb sound card. I'm not sure if I'm overlooking the a setting or if there is a different audio output plugin for cmus that has the functionality I need. Cmus also won't play over any bluetooth audio device while some other sounds will.

Yes I did and it does not appear there. Only the ringtones I have created myself and the default ones appear in the list.
In settings>sounds>ringtone however they all appear

Realtek is default audio
Control Panel/ Sound & Audio Devices/ Audio tab/ Sound Playback click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected. Typically the problem will be they something like "modem line 0 playback" might have been substituted for the proper audio device.( Didn't Worked)
Chipset Utility - install ( Did'n't Worked Aswell)
Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Component Services / a separate window will open in left pane click Services(Local) from the tree / Scroll down to Windows Audio service / if the service is Disabled or Manual right click > select Properties > under Startup Type change to Automatic > click Apply / click Start > OK Reboot. (Worked) But First The Quality Was Not As It Was Before And Then Sound Card Stopped Working Again.
Try a System File Check

External usb sound card is not working correctly

When my computer usb sound card is working correctly. If your computer to sleep and wake up the sound card is working correctly. If you disable the sound card and connect again, it appears extraneous sound on the background music playing. Each time the sound is different. The sound is very similar to not match the sampling frequency. If the computer is rebooted, then the sound card is working properly again.
Soundcard Infra-sonic.com model Amon.
I have not experienced problems when using the same card with Mac OS 10.5.8 with the drivers for Mac OS 10.5
Manufacturer issued driver for Snow Leopard, but the card still does not work correctly.
Also such problems, other users complain about an external USB audio card. None of the users can not find a solution to this problem.

Suggest me a usb sound card for mac mini

please suggest me a usb sound card for mac mini (i need 5.1 sound)

The Griffin Technology FireWave will give you the 3 'cables' ("FireWave outputs six channel audio through three 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo mini-jacks: Left/Right, Center/Subwoofer and Right Surround/Left Surround.") connection for surround sound (speakers) audio. Whether or not a particular headphone set is compatible, you might ask Griffin directly about that. If you're playing a DVD with VLC or the Apple DVD Player, you will get surround sound. But, you'd have to find an MP3 with multi-channel audio inside it to play surround sound out of iTunes.

[SOLVED] Audio dropouts with USB sound card

Hi! Recently I bought an external USB sound card (Music Fidelity V-DAC). If I plug in the USB cable the sound device is recognized by Phonon in KDE4 (kdemod).
If I play an audio file in Amarok (or VLC) the audio is indeed redirected to the USB sound card and played correctly. However, if I use my USB mouse, or USB keyboard dropouts are occurring in the audio signal. It seems that other USB devices are interfering with my USB sound card.
More details:
Arch Linux with kernel 2.6.33 and kdemod 4. Phonon backend is Xine. I also tried gstreamer, but this crashes Amarok/

I also tried an Ubuntu (9.10) live CD. Using ALSA or Pulseaudio a clean audio signal without dropouts is produced.
I wonder if someone can help me with this problem, or point me to more information. Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestion. I added the following line to my /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf file:
options snd-usb-audio enable_msi=1
After a reboot the problem still persists. I also tried another suggestion from this forum:
options snd-usb-audio nrpacks=1
This doesn't work either. I tried to change settings in /etc/security/limits.conf, which looks like this:
@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - nice -10
@audio - memlock 250000

USB Sound Card by default

Hi All,
Since i've upgraded to snow leopard i've been having an issue with my USB Sound Card. It's a Behringer U-Control UCA-202 that's connected via a Belkin 4 port hub through my Dell 2407WFP monitor to my MBP. Everytime i restart Snow Leopard automatically defaults to the Built-In Soundcard instead of my USB Sound Card by default. It's not a major issue but it's annoying having to go into the sound preference or Audio MIDI to select it. I never had this issue on Leopard and i've tried connecting the USB sound card directly to the MBP but the same thing happens on restart.
Many Thanks,
MuraliM

I'm now on 10.6.1 and I still have the same problem. I select "USB Sound Codec" in Sound preferences and when i restart (with everything still connected) my Mac still reverts to the built-in sound card in my MBP. In Leopard (and even Tiger) my Mac would select the last selected sound card by default on restart and if my USB sound card wasn't connected (i.e when I'm on the move) the Built-In Sound Card would be selected. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is it what I think it is, a problem with Snow Leopard and if it is how can I make Apple aware of this problem? Now that my printer and with this soundcard problem i'm considering just reformatting and restoring my Leopard install.
Many thanks,
Murali
