Will my 533MHz Digital Audio CPU work in my AGP Sawtooth G4?

I bought an OEM Dual 533MHz CPU to upgrade my single 533MHz in my Digital Audio Power Mac G4. I was thinking about putting the spare 533 Mhz CPU in my 400MHz AGP Graphics Sawtooth G4. The Digital Audio bus speed is 133MHz, while the AGP G4 bus runs at 100Mhz. Will it work or be downclocked slightly? Thanks in advance!

Hello Craig,
Has been done, but it's not for the faint of heart. Requires microsurgery with a soldering iron and X-acto knife to change bus multipliers and things. As-is, it would be downclocked.
It's been covered somewhere - XLR8yourmac, perhaps - and there's a guy who sells on eBay who does a lot of it - currently has a 550MHz cpu listed - handle of 'ijnujb'.
I would think you'd get more satisfactory results from a used after-market cpu, but if you like to experiment give it a try and report back.
Regards .... Jon

Digital Audio not working on Satellite A505 S6012

My digital audio stopped working suddenly. I use HDMI to send the video out of my laptop to my projector. I had been successfully using, for over a year, a digital audio cable in the headphone (SP/DIF) jack to output the sound to my home receiver. The default audio set in the control panel is Realtek Digital Audio.
If I set the output to speakers and plug headphones in the jack, I get sound. If I set the output to Realtek Digital Audio and plug the digital audio cable in, I get no sound. I've tried new cables, changing the input to a different conection on my receiver, reinstalling the Realtek driver, and, as a last resort, completely recovering my laptop to the factory setting. Digital Audio still does not work.
Any suggestions? This is the main way we watch movies in my home.

hi, have you try out srs audio program it nice!
can u help me if u have make for yourself a recovery dvd of S505 S6012 because to mine i didnt do it and it gives me a lot of problems.
if you have please i would like to have it.
thanks....

Can't get Encoded Digital Audio to work with HDMI again

I like to connect my 15" Retina Macbook to my Pioneer VSX-1121-K receiver using a high speed HDMI cable (high speed for 3D). My sound settings for a long time have been very reliable; in Audio Midi Setup I had the HDMI output set to 48 kHz + "Encoded Digital Audio" and had no major issues. My encoded Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 signals were being passed through to the Pioneer receiver just fine.
So then I got Mavericks recently and everything seemed fine for a couple of days; when suddenly, Audio Midi Setup decided it never wants to allow the "Encoded Digital Audio" format to work.
I select VSX-1121 under System Preferences/Sound, but only get the standard blah PCM over the HDMI. Here's the weird part I don't understand: when I go to Audio Midi Setup and change the format from "2ch-24bit Integer" to "Encoded Digital Audio", it automatically switches the sound to Built-In Output and doesn't budge when I tell it to use the HDMI output.
I tried changing the sound effects & alerts to the Pioneer and back to Built-In Output, but that didn't affect anything. I've tried restarting, disconnecting the HDMI and plugging it back in, turning the receiver off/on, turning HDMI Control off/on, tried a different HDMI cable and receiver input -- all no dice.
It won't let me select 96 kHz for the HDMI either. What up with that? I was fooling around with FLACs in 192 and 96 kHz about a month ago with no problems whatsoever, and playing 5.1 DVDs without any of this weirdness. If it's somehow Mavericks' fault I want a big fat patch on this.
Other details: receiver's connected to a Panasonic VT30 that I use as a second screen with the Macbook for movies and stuff. Also have a current model AppleTV connected. I assume they're both not affecting anything.
Any solutions or insights would be appreciated.

I had a similar problem. Took me a while to figure out, but the problem was in the HDMI settings in the receiver, NOT the software.
My setup:
Macbook Air > Mini Display Port to HDMI converter into Onkyo Receiver > HDMI Out of Onkyo into Panasonic TV.
Symptoms:
I was getting stereo fine, but not 5.1 (options grayed out etc). You were on the right track; I unplugged the TV which opened up all the multi channel options for HDMI. Turns out the HDMI out settings in the receiver were set to pass Audio to the TV. So the Audio Device Settings on my Mac viewed the TV as the destination device. But as the TV only supports stereo, that's all I could select through Audio Device Settings and VLC etc.
Solution:
On the receiver I went to Setup > Hardware Settings > HDMI and switched the audio off for HDMI Out. Now the Mac sees the receiver as the final destination and I can select HDMI (Encoded Output) etc. from VLC. That sends proper Dolby Digital 5.1 etc. nicely.
Note:
I can select all the multi channel options for HDMI in Audio Devices Settings (as supported by my Onkyo Receiver), but I just left mine at 2ch-24 bit. Seems as long as you select Encoded Output in VLC it will send 5.1 perfectly and no issues with regular stereo playback for music.

Need help. 2012 mac mini 5.1 digital audio not working only stereo out. How can I get 5.1 digital audio?

I have a 2012 mac mini with a mini toss link to toss link cable connected to an a/v reciever (Sunfire, grand theater 3) capable of dolby digital and dts. I am not getting 5.1 digital audio only stereo audio. Midi setup format 48000 hz 2ch-16 bit integer. In speaker configuration stereo is the only option all others are grayed out. How can I get this to work? Please help.

You should set up as 24bit integer. Toslink does not support
multi-channel encoded over a 16bit link. Just not enough
bits available.

Will an optical digital audio cable improve the sound when I am viewing content thru Apple TV

I have a 2nd generation Apple TV. When I view content via my Apple TV the sound gets "fuzzy" as I increase the volume on my TV. If i connect Apple TV to my Samsung HDTV with an optical digital audio cable, with the sound quality improve??

people say that if the atv2 dont have a connection to the tv optical is muted
I have a atv1 and been using the optical out with my sony stereo system for ages mute the tv so only 1 audio source and on atv1 it play out the optical even with the tv off
of cause one have to choose the optical input as input source on the receiver

Will the Apple Digital AV adapter work for the DISH Remote Access app?

I have a Sling adapter hooked up to my 722K DISH receiver, and the DISH Remote Access app installed on an iPad 2. Great app, btw.
What I'd like to know is if I'll be able to use this AV adapter to watch my recorded shows on a TV. Hotel room situation, and I would just like a larger screen every once in a while.
So far, my understanding doing some searches here is that the adapter will work for Netflix, but won't for HBO GO (bummer).
Since I'll be phasing out Netflix soon anyway, and this adapter isn't going to work for HBO GO content, I am just wondering if it will for the Dish Remote Access app before I bother to buy one.
If not, is there something that would be a better choice? I did look at the component and composite cables too, but couldn't quite make up my mind.
Thanks for any input.

iphone4 dont support mirror so only apps which support the normal tvout will work on iphone4 witht he hdmi out setup

Will the Core 2 Duo CPU work on the Qosmio G30?

Question is as follow:
In 2 months Intel will come up with Core 2 Duo/merom cpu for laptop.
Will then todays toshiba qosmio laptop support these processors for an upgrade ?
And wonder in general how much can be upgraded with toshiba laptop's?
Like if I want to have e-sata on this laptop. Maybe not supported by chipset ?

As you know this is a user-to-user forum and I don?t think that you will find somebody from Toshiba here.
However, this is my own opinion and this could be one of the reasons. I agree with you that duo core 2 CPU supports less power and generate less heat but more or less this are also properties of the intel duo core CPUs.
But I think that in the future the duo core 2 CPU will supports a higher speed as the duo core and I think the temp will also increases.
You know that the notebooks technology is different as the desktop technology and it's more difficult to upgrade the parts on the notebook as on the desktop pc. Some CPUs are also soldered on the board. (but I'm not sure about Qosmio) But if you will be able to remove it and to upgrade the CPU so then you could get some problems with BIOS and also software (chipset utility?). Maybe this could have a bad influence on the drivers and utilities.
As you see there are more factors as only the temperature. Everything must be compatible. I think the Qosmio G30 is a very nice notebook with really good performance. I think the CPU upgrade is not necessary because you will not get much more performance as with the core duo CPU.

Can I out an Apple cpu G4 933hz into an Apple digital audio?

I know that the cpu will fit but will it operate?
reason for asking is that I wish to put a third party dual cpu upgrade in the 933hz and wish to utilise the 933hz cpu by placing it into an older G4 digital audio.

I just installed my 533 digital audio CPU in a 450MHz cube. It fit amd works. However you need to take into account pin configuration with bus speed and processor speed when swapping cpu's
The 533 ran on a 133MHz system bus while the 450MHz cube was 100MHz. When I installed 533 in the cube the bus speed pin configuration just happen to equal the right setting to run at 100MHz. Great for me! However the jumper positions for the CPU made it run at 400MHz speed instead of 533. I had to remove the 2 jumpers that were there (magnifying glass and nail clippers) and use a rear window defogger repair kit to add the correct jumper setting which brought it up to 600MHz.
In short your 933 running at 133MHz might just end up being 733 running at 66MHz (just an example) I guess I would just try it and see. Make sure you post back any information you glean.

STB 7216 - Digital Audio FYI

I have no idea why but I cannot get the optical audio out to work (I have firmware version 1.6.2). After reading the forums and giving up I purchased a digital coaxial cable and converter for coaxial to optical. Using the digital coaxial out and the converter as my AV receiver only has optical in I can now get digital audio. I shouldn't have had to make the additional purchase just to get the digital audio to work but at least it does. I still have no idea if this is a hardware fault with the STB or a software issue.

I'm using the same STB with anOptical Toslink cable and no issues.
I do not recall having to make any menu changes to have it work.
Did it work with the Optical Cable work with your Receiver before you got FIOS TV or is this the 1st time you are trying to use it ?

Digital Audio Problem w Marantx sr4300

Hi there, i just got my atv2 and after i'd connect it and update to 4.1.1, digital audio not work on my Marantz SR4300 AV receiver, i tryed all the settings in "Audio And Visual" menu but nothing .....digital audio still not work. The reiceiver accepts a lot of devices in all these years without any problem...it sounds good!
I'm going crazy! thinking to return it to the shop and wait for the ATV3

Hi, you're right, i connect it with a low cost optical toslink, but no problem with other devices.
At the first time i'd update to 4.1.1 and after i tryed all the features so i don't know if it works without the update.
My atv is connected via hdmi to the samsung lcd and audio is ok, but i want it in my receiver (via optical)!
i hope to explain it a little.
Thanx.

Monitoring CPU temperature on a Digital Audio

Does anyone know of any downloadable CPU monitoring software out there that will work on a Digital Audio? Temperature Monitor doesn't work on this model (although I think it used to work on a Sawtooth), but it would a great utility to have.

Hello! Welcome to the Forums!
Sadly, there is no real way to obtain the temperature of the CPU in G4 models before Mirror Drive Doors. Those models lack the cpu sensor to report temperature. You might have to search xlr8yourmac.com or use Google to do a search for how to get CPU temperature from a Digital Audio G4.
The technology of those G4s doesn't include a sensor for temperature reporting.

Can't get audio to work on my Panasonic Plasma smart TV when I connect a Toslink optical mini to Toslink optical digital to my mid 2009 MacBook pro?

My MAc book pro 5.5 is mid 2009, Processor speed 2.26 GHZ MacOS X VERSION 10.68 Leopard. My Tv is a Panasonic Plasma smart TV TC-P50ST60. I ordered from Amazon a Toslink optical mini to Toslink optical digital cable meant for Macbook pro 2009 forward. I changed the settings on both TV and Mac but I still can't get audio to work on TV. I believe my Mac can't see the audio output from the TV. Any advice with step by step instructions on how to fix it? could it be they sent me defective cables? Thank You for your help.

When I spoke with Apple I made sure I told them that my Macbook Pro was Mid 2009 and he ensured me again that those to cords will work. I realize that with the newer models it does put through both sound and audio but because of my model I don't think it does obviously because I have played with both Sound on my computer and Sound on the TV and nothing works. Sometime Apple can be good but man some people lol he even told me he verified my computer model on the computer and that's what came up.
So new question would be what kind of cable would I be looking for to get audio? Anyone before I call back to Apple and see what they say hahah

Found "Digital Audio" logic board, cpu & psu inside my Quicksilver ?

Recently got a quicksilver that "appeared" different to me . . .
Upon looking inside it's is a digital audio g4 swap (verified part #'s)
Logic board, 466mhz cpu and psu inside a Quicksilver case.
Any upgrades for this? does the dual 533 work in here?
Not sure what to do with this one, was hoping it was the sawtooth with the agp without adc (for testing flashed video cards without taping pins 3 & 11) . . .anyways

If you are just a TINY bit adventurous, get a QS CPU.
All you need to do is run a 12V line for fourth screw hole on CPU daughtercard.
Have a dig at XLR8yourmac.com, details used to be there...somewhere.
I once a QS 867 CPU and moved a resistor and made it a 933Mhz. I then ran over it with a rolling chair and knock a bunch of caps off.
Soldered them back on and sent it to a friend with a DA. He slapped it in and went on to do great things with that old DA. (like write the Mac Nvidia 6200 ROM)
The later QS 133Mhz bus CPUs had more cache, something like that. I know that the 867 was MUCH faster than a 733 I tried in it once.

To The Above Post: Will this CPU work with this MOBO.....

Just a FYI the Link for the CPU compatibility checker 404s when I click on it.

he means that sticky topic "Will this CPU work on my board?" ==> "https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129204.0"
some of the links there are invalid
EDIT: I've corrected them

TS3789 digital audio from apple tv not working

the digital audio output from my apple tv to my reciever was working initially. It is no longer working. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
Also make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of comments? You might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?
