No audio output via firewire to MetricHalo ULN2 converter

Post by audiofixer » Wed Sep 12, 2007 10:58 pm

I have sample rate and audio I/O settings correct, but cannot get files to play
via firewire to my d/a converter (CoreAudio) The built-in speaker connection
works, but not the digital output. Is CoreAudio not supported in Audacity?

It looks like this is a Mac-only piece of hardware, so I can only offer you limited help.

I guess the first thing to do is check and see if your problem is described here:

I'm not quite sure what this means, but if you can get speakers plugged into your D/A to make sound, then you've definitely got audio info going through the FireWire connection. Which suggests that your D/A isn't working as you expect it to.

I'd help more if I could, but I can't. You might get better help in the Mac-specific forum.

Note, the converter meter shows no signal, so there is NO signal going thru the firewire. This converter works fine with all other audio applications. Could this be a problem involving CoreAudio? Other users have had similar problems getting audio to play, and I find no answer. (The Audio MIDO settings are correct, and do not change arbitrarily when I launch Audacity.)

And, please tell me, where is the "Mac-specific" forum?

I don't really know what the problem is. But I can tell you that the Mac Specific forum is not far from here. We're in the Audacity Stable -> General forum. You want the Audacity Stable -> General -> Mac forum.

I realize that might be confusing, but I don't know how else to tell you how to get to a specific forum.
