Y500 Audio Line Issue

Hey guys, it's my 3rd yeard using the Y500 and recently just I discovered there is some issues with my audio line in and out ports. I plugged in the mic and speakers but it's not working, sounds are still continue playing by the laptop itself. I'm not sure for how long this problem occured as I barely use any speakers or earphones.

Go into the Sound control panel applet. Under the Playback tab, what devices does it list when you have headphones attached?

  • About to purchase a 24" iMac - Any Audio Line In issues?

    having read this thread... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=642356 i'm worried about the new 24" iMac being plagued with Audio Line In crackles and pops when recording audio. eg - GarageBand, etc.
    My current Mac, a Power Mac Dual 2ghz G5 (1st gen) had similar issues, why can't Apple get Audio Input right?
    I use Logic Express, but I assume if there's a hardware problem it will be present in all apps.
    Can anybody confirm if these issues are present before I make my purchase? Thanks.

    Mark, this is a hospital ward. There will always be someone who has some issues. The chances of your getting a specific issue yourself in two separate machines are very slim unless the software itself isn't written right.
    Some crackles can be explained by audio file compression. When you compress audio, occasionally data corruption and other issues get caught up in the mix. It is best if you record audio uncompressed if you want the best quality for your audio, or if you use compression, use it at a high enough bit-rate to satisfy your audiophile ears.
    Don't worry about getting the issue, and if you do get the issue, that's why you have AppleCare.

  • Premiere Pro CC & New Mac Pro - Audio Line Out Issue

    I'm having a few issues with the audio line out on the new Mac Pro. For some reason, Line Out locks into Premiere Pro. When I switch programs, the audio line out device stays locked to Premiere Pro and the only way to get other programs to be able to output audio when Premiere Pro is not current application, is to go into System Preferences > Sound and click onto an alternative output and then click back onto Line Out.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Thanks.

  • Audio line-out issues

    Audio line out not working. Had done up till updated Snow Leopard recently. Anybody had same problem? Any fixes?!

    Problem "solved". Uncertain about why though.
    Disc Repair? The verify disc did show up that it needed repairing.
    Resetting PRAM?
    Or the speaker cables ? I put in another cable of the same type but both cables now working fine. So...?
    It may be simply how the steps are sequenced.
    But a nuisance when it happens.
    All part of the rich fabric of Life, The Universe and Everything?  Possibly.

  • Connect iPod to MacBook Pro audio line-in port?

    My 1st Gen iPod's Firewire port fried recently; it still delivers a charge to my iPod but won't allow it to mount. I can still listen to music with the headphone jack.
    What sort of cable can I use to attach my iPod to the audio line-in on my Macbook Pro?

    I also have this problem but with a slightly different twist..
    I was using my plantronics (old ms gamevoice headset) with 10.5.2 and it worked, then installed the m-Audio Firewire Audiophile beta drivers and neither the audio-in or the m-audio audiophile line-in cause any VU-meter response (nor input) whereas the standard inbuilt microphone does.
    After uninstalling the m-audio drivers the situation is still the same.
    Oddly - if I plug in the headphones into the line-in (rather than microphone) then speak into them I actually get input audio (and VU-meter response) through the MBP's audio-in.
    So the story about no power is used (hence the headphones create enough to register the sound) sounds about true... very annoying as I thought my old headset had died and went out and bought a new one.. that still doesn't explain the audiophile input issues..
    Now I fully expect both companies to point fingers at each other.. I don't care - just get it fixed please.

  • Audio line -in : doesn't seem to be responding

    Hi
    My audio line-in port doesnt seem to be working any more.
    Does anyone have any advice to help me trouble shoot this issue.
    Ive already tried third party recording apps and a new set of mic-headphones but still nothing appears to be coming through.....it worked fine previously and was used often.
    It may be an emac hardware issue or a system issue where i updated to Tiger a few months ago.
    But perhaps it's something else !?
    thanks for your time.

    1. The type of headset im using is manufactured and ubiquitous for use with any pc or laptop
    see for example :

    or
    http://www.techfresh.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/plantronics-mono-headset-for -internet.jpg
    or
    http://thevoipgirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/headset.jpg
    which are close to the ones i use. I know they're the cheap end but they are very common - Don't they just get their voltage from the mac itself ??
    Also
    2. Mine worked fine until recently - which means i was able to speak into the mic and hear it in software and adjust the audio input level in the O.S. sound prefs and now can no longer do this because when i have line-in selected as my source it's not showing any reciept signal in the display level indicator.
    The simple fact that i was previously for several years able to operate one of these mic head-sets suggests that the issue must lie elsewhere and is has not been about the headset amp level as you suggested- My concern is that it is something to do with the OS Tiger which i recently updated to .....simply because it's the only major change i have in the recent past - i can't think what else it could be or what trouble shooting procedures to follow on this type of problem....

  • MSI P4M900M2-L ~Realtek High Definition Audio Driver Issue Resolved In XP!

    Realtek High Definition Audio Driver Issue Resolved!  MSI P4M900M2-L Intel Dual Core VIA P4M900 Chipset 8 CH Azalia Audio.
    There is an issue w/ the Realtek High Definition Audio Driver for the MSI P4M900M2-L Intel Based Dual Core Via P4M900 Chipset based Motherboard w/ MS XP Home Premium Installed (Vista driver installs fine as I have built 4 of these in the last week, but the XP Audio driver doesn't).
    I could not get either Audio driver from the CD driver disk nor the MSI site to install w/ Win XP Home installed. Live Update for that Motherboard does not contain the Audio Driver either.
    After 3 days and multiple attempts to use MSI's very wanting (in my opinion), Technical Support forms and call-in line, I hunted, and hunted and found the driver(s) on CNET. They not only work great but as designed. I had almost given up and I actually installed an add-in sound card....But this is a machine for a customer. Then I searched again and found a real solution.
    Realtek High Definition Audio Drivers are located on CNET.com's download page:

    Good luck to everyone, this will save you RMA'ing those boards over a stupid Audio driver issue, as they are great w/ the Intel Dual Core 775 CPU's from 2.0~3.0Ghz. Can't really tell the difference between the 2 CPU's w/ the Dual Core Program running (a utility supplied on the driver disk or on the Driver site!) I have built both..2 of each.

  • Audio input issue - No stereo... Right channel only.

    Hi
    First to thank you for taking the time to read and consider this if you do - any help in this would be hugely appreciated
    Ok - I'll try to make this as concise as poss but it needs some explanation:
    I'm home-recording hobbyist musician. One of the things I would very much like to use the iMac for is to back up old four-track tape recordings, recording them as wav or mp3 as the case maybe and saving them to my hdd. Easy right? Apparently not, so far... let me explain:
    On the tape recorder there is only an RCA stereo out (red and white, left and right). The very first thing I did when I got the iMac was download Audacity (the audio software), hooked up a stereo lead to the RCA outs on the tape recorder, and ran it into the line-in port on the iMac, using the 1/8" jack.
    Now, sound came in, but only the right channel. The left channel was completely dead (ie when I panned the audio to the left, or if there was a sound in the mix that was only in the left channel, it was absent).
    Since then I've bought Logic Pro and and an audio interface and this presents the EXACT same problem... Nothing in the left channel. (please note, I am aware you can "fake" stereo by setting a channel-strip to "mono" so that there is sound on both sides, but get this - it only splits the right channel in two - so you still don't have the left channel or genuine stereo signal frustratingly)
    It should be noted that stereo sound is not a general problem on the system. Stereo output is perfect (ie on itunes, cds, online etc - or if I'm using softsynths in Logic for instance) it is solely an AUDIO INPUT issue.
    Needless to say I've explored all options in sys prefs to no avail.
    It should also be noted that I have also tested the actual output of the tape recorder and used the same leads to line into a home stereo system no problems.
    Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about or how this could be resolved? I am even open to suggestions for peripheral equipment, sofware additions etc - any questions at all, just ask.
    Thanks again, any input would be welcome.
    EDIT: I also posted this in the general iMac forum. Posting here for people w specific audio knowledge thanks!

    Pancenter, thanks once again.
    Sorry about delay replying - have had an internet outage here just to add to my woes haha.
    Anyway, the good news is that I think I've cracked it:
    After updating the OS per your suggestion, uninstalling both Audacity and the m-audio (profire 610), and lastly resetting defaults on sys audio midi prefs I was still experiencing this problem - just on a line-in to Garageband. Pure frustration.
    So eventually I just elected (in lieu of chucking the hardware out the nearest window lol) to do a cold re-install of the OS (erase and install option, backup hdd done). As I bought the iMac in January the OS is 10.5.5 I think.
    After install, before doing anything else at all, I opened Garageband, set up an audio track and set input prefs to Line in Stereo 1/2 etc, and hooked up the tape unit via rca and the line-in port. The result? Perfect 2-channel stereo.
    My personal theory is that the problem was created by the audio interface installation - an m-audio "profire 610" - Tho Audio interfaces are a frickin minefield anyway between Macs and PCS, chipset compatabilities, dodgy beta drivers, worthless gadget-hawking etc etc... I also realised that while my first original attempt was on Audacity I had already installed the profire unit just immediately before (but didn't use it). I doubt it was Logic which is designed specifically for the mac - I feel this theory might be proven when I reinstall these.
    So there you go - get the Audio interface right it seems.. And I've got stereo audio.
    Thanks for your help and input Pancenter - much obliged.
    Peace.

  • Audio line out buzz, clicks and ground hum all of the sudden?

    I've developed a nasty, sharp, buzzing from my audio line-out on my iMac G5, and it's gets twice as loud and unbearable when I put the computer to sleep. When I plug in a pair of iPod headphones and play a song, NO AUDIO WHATSOEVER appears in the phones, just a steady endless series of audible clicks. All connections were tested with new cables, etc., and it didn't make a lick of difference. My guess is that this issue has something ot do with the "optical out" dual-purpose jack 3.5mm jack, like it's internal switch is stuck half-on or something-- I saw a red light when plugging in the audio cable. Has anyone experienced a problem like this on their machine?

    I've read about the red light here before. The jack does indeed read the impedence and then ping software to let it know something's attached. Perhaps try several different plugs in addition to the cables you've already tried. I know some speakers and headphones here at my place have WAY different impedence values.
    Some people have been able to trouble shoot by creating a dummy user account to verify it's a software problem (the problem is gone in the new account). Other people have been successful resetting the core audio by running the GarageBand program. Not sure these tricks will help you, as 60 cycle hum leads me to think there's a hardware problem.
    Let us know if this is helpful (as I only need 5 more points to hit 1000!)

  • Audio Line-in doesn't work....

    When trying to use my audio line in port, i.e. in Logic Express, or using Amplitube, all i get is a popping when i try and select the line in as the audio input instead of the built in mic. Also in Logic Express/Pro i have no record function and i cant seem to get it to recognise the audio in port in that either.
    I was running Logic pro and before that express on my emac about 2 months ago and i had no problem, and used the same copy on my iMac...

    Hi,
    It's been a while since I've used Logic, but to remedy the clicking/popping try increasing the amount and size of Disk Buffers (Process Buffer Range). Also, play around with the Audio Buffers (I/O Buffer Size) or reduce it: particularly if it is already set at 1024 samples. You can find these under Audio Preferences and Drivers - Core Audio in Logic.
    The clicking and popping noises when you use the built-in line on your iMac sounds like a lack of RAM. If you're not using a Universal version of Logic then it will use more RAM and Processor time on an Intel-Mac due to having to run through Rosetta. The amount RAM you have and the amount of Audio Buffers the programme can handle are in direct correlation - the more RAM you have, the higher the buffer sample rate you can use.
    And to remedy the issue with no record function - you need to set up your Audio In and Out as an Aggregate Device. If you don't know how to do this already:
    Go to Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities and launch Audio MIDI Setup. Once open press ShiftCommandA or go to the audio menu on the start bar. The Aggregate Device window will open and display any devices already created (I assume that there won't be any). Click on the + button just below the top pane to create a new device and the - button to delete a device. Click on Aggregate device in the top pane (if it's not already selected), and in the bottom pane check the use box next to the Audio Devices you wish to include (in this case Built-in Input/Output. Next to each Audio Device the number of in's and out's will say 2 - this is normal as the Built-in In/Output are capable of both Analogue and Digital signals.
    Back in Audio MIDI setup you can adjust the properties (bit rates/frequency etc.) for the Aggregate Device. The next time you open Logic the Aggregate device should be visible in the Drivers pane of audio Properties, which you can then choose to use. If not, go to sound in System Preferences and set your default In/Out to Aggregate Device.
    Hope that helps.

  • Audio line-in port - input level shows sound but nothing from speakers

    I have a Genus DAB radio attached to the Audio line-in port on my Macbook running Leopard 10.5.3. The input level meter shows sound but nothing is heard through the speakers.
    I have tested my headphones and connected the radio up to a PC and all is well, ca anyone suggest a fix for this? (I have seen the same issue elsewhere on this forum with no replies).
    Many thanks,

    What audio application are you using to pass the audio through the input to the speakers/headphones?

  • Audio Sync issues Premiere CC and AJA T-AP

    I need to get the audio sync issues resolved in Premiere. Using CC with an AJA T-tap. I downloaded and installed latest firmware and drivers, and plug-ins. Audio is playing back through Mac Pro line output. When the T-tap is turned off the audio plays in sync with the video on the computer screen. When I turn on T-tap and give it a 200 ms offset, it plays back in sync with my external monitor, but the computer screen is out of sync. If I skip around in the sequence quickly and press the playback, sometimes the monitor is out of sync. I need my audio and video to be in sync on all screens all the time. How do I resolve this issue?
    Thanks, Scott

    Hi team!
    cc: petergaraway
    Wondering if anyone has any updates on the Premiere CC v AJA T-Tap situation?
    I just bought an AJA to go with our new trash can iMac, which has been beasted out so it shouldn't have any performance issues. I have two thunderbolt displays for the edit and a Samsung LED TV on the wall for client monitoring. There is a 10m HDMI cable running to get to the TV, through walls and ceiling, which I just replaced to a cable with a booster in the middle because I thought that distance might be the first cause of the lag.
    I guesstimate we are anywhere between 6-12 frames out at times. Also, the vision seems to be buffering, and thus at times jolts on the screen as it tries to catch up (or back) to the audio.
    Audio is coming out through the Headphones jack on the mac to a small Behringer mixer, where I have monitor speakers for the edit and then wall speakers for the client. So I have been keeping the Audio output to the Adobe Desktop Audio. If I select AJA T-Tap it sends the audio straight to the TV, even despite going back into the system settings.
    In Preferences > Playback, the AJA settings are to Match Sequence and Minimum Buffer. Playing with the m/s frame offsets doesn't seem to make any progress on the issue. And infact if I push it to 500m/s it only worsens the buffering problem I described above.
    I went into the AJA control panel and have made sure everything is set to 1080p25 as our timelines will invariably always be 25fps (Australia).
    But right now I am pretty stuck, and think our slight sync issue was better before I introduced the AJA T-Tap to our system, when we ran the HDMI straight out of the back of the Mac. Only problem now is I put the HDMI back there and I don't get a signal to the tv! 
    Would love any other thoughts or suggestions here.
    Mike.

  • Audio Sync Issue ... this one is tricky

    Well, it's tricky for me anyway. I'm hoping this is a no brainer for someone out there and I can kick myself in the pants and call myself stupid when this is all over.
    Here is the setup.
    Talk Show. 2 Camera project (C1 and C2) in Final Cut Pro. When the footage was shot, there were two audio lines (A1 and A2) going to C1. A1/C1 were for the host and A2/C2 for the guest. Both Camera's capturing on P2 cards.
    Okay, the project is all complete in FCP, everything is in sync. I print to DVC Pro, everything is in sync. I export to a QT file for DVD Studio and burn it to DVD and get this .. ALL AUDIO IS IN SYNC EXCEPT FOR THE FOOTAGE OF C2.
    I could understand if the entire thing drifted out of sync, but this is just weird. This is not an isolated incidence either. Every time I edit this show this is a problem. Is this an issue that can be addressed in Compressor or with export setting from FCP?

    Please do not double post. Keep the discussion to one thread - preferably the linked one.

  • Ideapad 400 Audio Input Issue

    Hey there,
    I'm trying to use this computer for audio production and recording and it gave me a lot of issues today trying to get an audio input. There's no specific audio line-in 1/8" jack that I can see, so I tried using the only 1/8" jack there and Audacity wouldn't recognize it as an audio input. So I tried using a USB audio device, which also was not recognized.
    Any help on this would be appreciated, I'd hate to have to return this laptop over this issue.

    Hi retiredactor
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    It sounds like maybe the 3.5mm end is not completely seated into the iMac's input port or you have a bad or mono 3.5mm to RCA cable.
    Check out some example's of 3.5mm stereo to RCA cables and an adapter in the link's below.

  • Macbook Pro Audio line in stopped working after Leopard install

    Anyone know what's up with this? Since I installed Leopard (did an erase and install) my audio line in port isn't working although my built-in microphone is. Ideas? I haven't found a solution so far from my searches.
