MacBook Pro :: FireWire Port Not Able To Work With Audio Interface

Dec 28, 2010

I'm wondering if I somehow have a bad firewire chip in my MBP. It hasn't been able to work with firewire audio interfaces.

- I tried a Metric Halo ULN 2 which loses sync with it's audio. It will be fine for a few minutes with itunes but then becomes distorted and ringy as if it's lost it's audio sync.
- Random kernel panics while using Logic 9, Garageband 11 with an Apogee Duet - all software fully updated. One time it froze while not doing anything - logic was simply open and sitting there. Using iTunes through the Duet seems fine.
- Pops and crackles using Presonus Firestudio.

I've tried wiping my software and reinstalling everything. I'm using a MBP 5,3 2.8Ghz Core 2 Duo 4GB RAM, Snow Leopard (10.6.5) with the latest updates. I'm going to try an Apogee One which is USB, but I'd really like to use a firewire interface. If there's something wrong with my firewire port, I'd like it taken care of. My machine is under applecare 3 year warranty. I don't think this is an easy thing to prove though.

MacBook Pro :: Plugging In External Firewire Audio Interface Raises Temp?

May 12, 2010

Today I connected my Mackie Onyx Satellite Firewire audio interface to my 2.4 Ghz 13" Macbook Pro for the first time. After it had been running for a while, I looked at iStat Pro, and it reported a CPU temperature of 67C, which is about 15 to 25 degrees hotter than this machine usually idles. Now I've looked around a little bit and found that it's a known issue and associated with the Agere Firewire chipsets. Is there any solution for this? Does it make a difference if you use a daisy chain setup with an external hard drive in between the computer and the audio interface, or a repeater cable, or anything of that nature?

OS X :: 10.6 Not Working Well With USB Audio Interface

Oct 2, 2009

When I'm at home, I usually use an E-MU 0404 USB audio interface to channel sounds from my MBP. The problem is that every time I turn on the interface, the sound is distorted and corrupt. It is not a problem with the hardware; my monitors and interface work properly. The only workaround is to restart the computer with the interface connected and on, which clears up the sound. However, this is very inconvenient to do every time and I think that it's most likely due to a sound driver issue.

Information:
2.66 15" unibody MBP,
10.6.1

Software :: Audio Interface Not Recognized?

Jan 16, 2009

I have been trying to use an audio interface unit, Lexicon Omega, with my macbook on garageband and have not been able to.

According to Lexicon, I should be able to connect the hardware and it will pop up in my audio devices...but this hasn't happened.

On a possibly related note, my audio/midi setup (under utilities) says 'output is not supported'.

Intel Mac :: Audio Interface Just Stops Showing Up

May 23, 2012

I've own an apogee duet for that last year, and have had zero problems. I just got the ensemble the other day for recording drums. I followed the install instruction carefully, updated all software, and firmware. And the interface wont show up in my system preferrences (the ensemble and the duet).

I swapped the firewire cables and still nothing shows up. I plugged the ensemble into my friends lab top, and it see's it right away. 

So I thought maybe my firewire port isn't working...But when I go to the apple menu, and then "About this Mac" and hit "more info", "system report" under the Hardware tab at firewire... it says the ensemble is plugged in?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Firewire Audio Interface + Kanex XD?

Jun 7, 2012

I have, since a couple of years ago, used a nice little gadget called Kanex XD. It is simply an HDMI to Mini Display port, which allows me to play Xbox 360 on my iMac 27 ". It has always been clear as a bell!  

When I decided to buy the thing, I was not sure if it would work with my current sound system. But it did! I run all the audio from my mac through a firewire audio interface called Focusrite LS 56 (from the audio interface I have Yamaha HS80M, info for geeks like me).  

The audio has functioned really well through my Focusrite. But when I updated to the latest OSX (10.7.4), the audio from my Xbox only plays through my internal speakers. Otherwise, the sound works as usual. It's only when I play my Xbox through my Kanex XD, the audio goes through the internal speakers.  

I guess it's something that happened in the new update that makes it impossible to play the sound from my Xbox through my audio interface. I contacted the Kanex XD support. They said that there's nothing they can do and that it probably have something to do with the update. 

Info:
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

OS X Yosemite :: Mac Not Recognizing Mixer / Audio Interface

Nov 30, 2014

I can’t record an audio (vocal) track.  Here is my gear, DAW: Reason 8, Mac running Yosemite (version 10.10), mixer: Behringer 1204 USB (with built audio interface).  I’ve also tried the following stand alone audio interfaces, TASCAM US 100 and M-Audio Fast track Pro.  Key board Axiom 25.  I gone into preferences and selected USB Audio CODEC for both output and input on the MAC, did the same under reason preference audio tab.  when I create a audio track in Reason, in the audio input section I see “No audio input”. 

When I select the drop down menu there is a section for Mono input and Stereo for me to check this is followed by a grayed out section that states “No audio input available, please check your sound card settings. The other funny thing is when I use Garage Band, I have no issues recording.  I just recorded in garage band using the Behringer 1204.  Am I missing some simple setting somewhere,missing a channel routing.

Info:
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

MacBook Pro :: Best HDD For External / Internal Use With 2010 13"

Aug 16, 2010

I am currently in the market for a new hard drive for my MBP to upgrade and one to use for Time Machine. I was thinking somewhere between 500GB to 1TB of data for both the MBP and external. I tried the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 1TB in my 2009 13" MBP but it was too loud and clicked so I returned it. I now have the 2010 13" MBP and was wondering what other hard drives are out there?

Windows :: Firewire Audio Interface Motu Has Options Under XP

Dec 13, 2006

I successfully installed XP via Bootcamp and my XP audio software Sampitude. I did also install the MOTU traveler using newest drivers. However, it does not comply perfectly. I was installed alright, but when using it, it doesn't work properly. MME seems to work, but doesn't. ASIO doesn't work at all.
Basically it crashes the program, but if you just unplug it, everything works fine again, using the internal audio.

OS X :: Use Keyboard Volume Button And External Audio Interface?

Aug 19, 2010

I have an Audiobox USB audiointerface with KRKROKIT5 speakers and must turn up or down the volume on the interface. the Keyboard button wont work.

But my father uses Bose speakers but can do both! However, he does not use an audio interface.

Can I get my imac to do both? And if so, is this a good idea with such good speakers? Is the keyboard just turning it up digitally?

I only ask because it can be annoying reaching up over the speaker to turn the nob instead of just hitting a button on the keyboard.

Mac Pro :: Pitched Noise Coming From System / Connected To External Audio Interface?

Jan 6, 2011

just got happy about the fix for the audio / performance problem of the 09 mac pro's. Why should it be different, the next problem knocks at my door, hallelujah...

When I connect my external audio interface (apogee ensemble) to my mac pro, the mac begins to whistle...

As soon as I turn off my interface again, the whistle is away immediately . The sound is definitively coming from my mac pro and I couldn't locate the problem to a fan. I think it's maybe the firewire controller chip? When I connect my external lacie HD I have no problems at all. I have tried it on both ports on the back side with no success.

The whistle is not constantly on the same noise level. Sometimes it's away for a few seconds, it's high pitched and really annoying though. It does not matter if I playback audio or not. Nothing worked though. I experienced the whistle in the past few months sometimes but it was mostly just for a few minutes or so. But in the past few days it was constantly and it never really stopped. This drives me crazy when I have no audio playing and my room is silent !!

I have no other firewire cable (400 to 800) around to test it. Could this be the culprit also?

Applications :: ITunes Will Not Play Songs When US-122L Audio Interface Is Connected?

Jun 24, 2009

I am using iTunes with a Tascam US-122L audio interface. It worked perfectly fine until yesterday evening, and now iTunes absolutely refuses to play any music when the Tascam is connected. I click a song title and the diamond slider does not move, the song stays at 0:00, and the "play" button doesn't change to the "pause" button. It seemed to have started doing this after I exported a song into iTunes from Audio Hijack, which I downloaded to capture some audio from Logic Pro.

I've tried everything, from restarting my computer, to reinstalling the Tascam drivers to reinstalling iTunes.

iTunes works just fine except for the "playing songs" part, which is it's major selling point. It works perfectly fine when the Tascam isn't connected.

I've heard of a lot of people with similar problems but none of the solutions I've seen have worked. Anyone got any ideas?

MacBook Pro :: OWC Data Doubler Work With Stock Internal HD In Mid - 2010 15" I5?

Jul 31, 2010

Does the OWC Data Doubler work with the stock internal HD in the Mid-2010 MBP 15' i5? (Specs: 320GB Serial ATA; 5400 rpm) -from Apple.com [URL] The reason I'm asking this is because I'm planning to switch out the stock internal HD with an SSD (Intel X25-M G2). Then use the stock HD and put it in the optical drive space for data storage.

IMac :: High-pitched Frequency With External Speakers / Connected Via Firewire Audio Interface

Apr 14, 2004

I hope I'm not double posting. Have any of the other new iMac owners experienced weird frequencies coming from external speakers that are connected to their iMacs?

For example: I have a set of studio monitors that are hooked up to my iMac using a firewire audio interface. Whenever I'm copying data I get an extremely high-pitched frequency coming from my speakers that sounds like my hard drive spinning. Also, whenever I'm scrolling or moving the magic mouse I get a loud buzzing coming from the speakers (especially when scrolling). None of this stuff happened with my previous 20" iMac C2D. I have experienced this issue with all three of the 27" iMacs that I have gone through thus far (due to the yellow tint issue). Does this sound like something I'm just going to have to live with. All of these high pitched frequencies are driving me batty!

MacBook Pro :: Internal Microphone Not Being Detected On A Website Requiring Audio Input Recording?

Jun 21, 2014

When accessing the website; 'WhatUsersDo', which is used for testing websites, you are required to provide an audio recording of your thoughts about the website which you are testing, However, I am unable to submit an application to become one of the testers, as it is saying that I need to enable a microphone before I can continue with my application (as you are required to take a practice test during the application).  

I have looked through other forums, and my microphone is working fine.

IMac :: Minidisplayport To HDMI With Audio On Mid - 2010?

Sep 29, 2010

Has anyone tried using their mid-2010 imac with hdmi and can confirm if audio (out) works? All the adapters seem to claim audio support with the refresh macbooks but do not mention iMAC. On the Apple store they sell a moshi adapter that lists iMAC support but specifies early-2010 models. Is apple deliberately crippling the new iMACs to *not* allow audio over displayport>HDMI or what is the real story? Some older support threads seem to talk about it working on their 2009 imacs until they upgraded to os 10.6.4. I have tried a few generic cables/adapters but they don't seem to talk audio to my receiver. Anyone had better success?

Applications :: Preferred Audio Players 2010

Aug 3, 2010

This is going to be a series of threads/polls with the main objective of finding out what applications the members of MacRumors use. These threads/polls are not meant for discussion on whether or not one application is better than another or to ask any questions about these particular applications. It's only purpose is to discuss what application you use (or don't use) as it pertains to the topic. The goal is to collect these series of threads in the end and compile a list of all the polls so that members can view what the members of MacRumors use most often. The applications listed in the poll are by no means definitive and/or complete. If you use another application, vote Other and post the name so others can look into it. Even if you don't use any of the applications listed, you can simply click None. I've tried to list as many applications as I could find for the particular topic. Some are paid, some are free. Some cover all versions of OS X, others only a few versions.

This particular thread focuses on Audio Players for OS X. While iTunes is probably used by many due to the iPod and iPhone, it certainly isn't the only application out there to listen to music. So what audio player do you use for your music?

Windows On Mac :: There Is No Audio From The Internal Speakers At All?

I have a new aluminium 2.53 MBP and have installed vista 64 ultimate on it via bootcamp.

I have noticed that I am having problems with the audio, there is no audio from the internal speakers at all and when ever I boot up in vista the audio jack has a red light coming out of it...This only occurs in bootcamp and if i go back to OSX the problem disappears

I have installed the latest driver from realtek and have tried to fiddle with the audio jack using cotton buds etc, but nothing seem to work... are there any other ways from rectifying this?

Mac Pro :: Audio Out Changed To Internal Speakers

Nov 10, 2009

This is the second time an update has done this to me (Early 2008 Mac Pro). Run the update (10.6.2) - reboot - "sound effects" and "output" changed from "line out" to "internal speakers". What's up with that? Not a big deal - but kind of a pita when I get a call at work from a family member asking why iTunes is playing from the internal speaker...

OS X :: External Audio Device With Internal Volume Control?

Sep 16, 2007

I have a slight problem with my volume controls on a Macbook Pro. They're not doing exactly what I want them to. I have an external sound card and by selecting it as my default audio device the macbook pros own volume control gets locked and there's no way to adjust it. This means that it renders the keyboard and Remote control volume buttons useless and I still have to run across the room to adjust the volume on my audio device when I'm watching a movie through the tv away from the macbook. Is there no way to enable this function anyway so both controls work?
