I get this box: The movie could not be opened Mac OS error -50 These wav files will nonetheless open seamlessly into LOGIC and function fine. I can directly open mp3 files normally and they play fine. I just tried a few and it seems no WAV, CAF, or AIFF file will open directly.

MDD no sound
Greetings, I tried to listen to an audio clip today and got no sound. I turned up the sound on the computer and got nothing. I checked to see if my speakers were plugged in and they were. So I unplugged them and went to the sound preference panel. It listed as the output device headphones. There was nothing plugged in at that time. I then noticed when I shut down and tried to restart that the power button on the front did not work either. I was able to power up using the button on my keyboard. Any ideas as to what the problem is and how to fix it?

If I set the OS to be booted, it will be like initially described -- no chime and no video. If I do this, I then have to zap the PRAM (Cmd-Opt-P-R), then I can get past this issue and select the OS using Open Firmware. So it actually is broken in a way, I just don't know which part.

Re: G3 BW powers up, but no sound and no video
It'll run Tiger just fine with the G3 350 mhz CPU in it. I'm running 10.4.11 on a 300 mhz iBook Clamshell with just 576 megs of ram (maxed). I can't say it's a speed demon, but it runs surprisingly well. I would recommend a minimum of 512 megs of ram for Tiger - 1024 megs even better!

Trying to set the startup volume to Mac OS X 10.3.9 again breaks the initial start. So: it is broken alright. I just don't know what's broken. Could it be the PRAM? But at least I now *can* make it boot *somehow*. But only into Mac OS 9 for now. Is it possible that the Option key doesn't work on the G3 BW? On the G4s this key lets you select which OS you want to boot...

Re: G3 BW powers up, but no sound and no video
unplugging the machine, opening it, removing the PRAM battery, press and hold the button nearest the battery (the one not labeled :POWER:) This got my G3 BW running just fine. Mine is a 400MHz rev.2 btw... No success. I removed the PRAM battery, did hold the button for a while, released it and powered on without the battery. Since this didn't make it work I decided to press the button right after powering on. When holding the button and trying to power on, nothing happens. BTW, the other button actually IS a power button. So, I guess I have to trash it. Too bad. Anyway, thanks for your help.

What could be causing the sound to cut out?
I've been facing an annoying problem that has been getting progressively worse, so I figured it would be time to get a second opinion because I'm drawing a blank. Background: I have a PowerMac G5, 2.0Ghz DP with 6GB of RAM. Video is supplied to two monitors with a stock AGP Radeon 9800 Pro with 128MB of VRAM and a flashed PCI Radeon 7000 with 64MB of VRAM. Problem: Whenever I am heavily multitasking, iTunes seems to randomly cut out whenever I am doing something on the screen powered by the 7000, but never the 9800's screen. I've tried using Songbird as well, but the problem seems to be systemic since all audio cuts out at this point, but will come back within a minute or two. I've been watching Activity monitor fairly closely, but haven't noticed any processor or RAM usage spikes that coincide with the loss of audio. In fact, the processors rarely crest a combined 110% and I almost always have at least 2GB of RAM free and untouched. I have a pair of nVidia GeForce 5200s (an AGP and a PCI, both with 256MB of VRAM) lying about that I could easily flash. Would installing those help? I somehow doubt it, but there might be something I don't know about this as a whole. Thanks in advance for any advice y'all can offer! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I somehow doubt it, but there might be something I don't know about this as a whole. The Radeon 7000 doesn't support Core Image. I know when a non-Quartz Extreme video card is combined with a QE supported card the entire Mac loses QE function unless you use PCI Extreme to enable QE on the PCI card (which means you likely have no QE on either card?). Seems likely the Radeon 7000 could be a problem and perhaps you've lost all the Core support, including Core Audio? I believe the 5200 does support Core Image but if you're using the PCI version, you'd still need PCI Extreme to get QE working, and if you're using Leopard, I'm not sure PCI Extreme works? I know it works in 10.4.11. If the Radeon 7000 is causing Core Audio to not work, switching could be a solution to your issue?

Is this on your built-in speakers or externals? Seems very strange to me that audio cutouts would be video-card related. Might be worth checking and cleaning the speaker connections etc. Maybe when your PM is huffing puffing, the fan vibration is causing things to move enough... Long shot, but do you have cats?

G5 sound input problem
I'm trying to attach a microphone to a dual G5 2.3GHz thru the audio line-in jack on the back. It's a normal 3.5mm stereo mini-jack as far as I can tell. I have several microphones, an Apple monaural, an Aiwa mini stereo, etc. It's definitely NOT an old Apple mic that uses the longer jack plug, although perhaps Apple requires a special microphone with a normal plug now? There seems to be some problem with the audio input. It's pretty much non-existent. I've tried many things already. I'm hoping someone on the list has had a similar experience and knows a solution. Things I've tried: Audio MIDI Setup to select and adjust sound input, the input volume is set to 1.0 (highest) and 12dB. Rogue Amoeba's LineIn app to Pass Thru sound input (shows VERY small input with either mic, but if I plug or unplug there is a spike so it appears the port is active, just not enough gain to register. Rogue Amoeba's SoundSource menu bar input/output preferences selection (works normally, and I DO have input from USB based sources when USB devices are selected, it's the Line In (built-in) that's non- fuctional). Cycling '74's Soundflower to redirect audio input and output source between applications. Seems to work, but again, no gain. These all seem to work normally, I suppose there could be a conflict of some sort? Any ideas, I'd like to get a microphone working if possible? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

As you said, it's a Line-In. That means it's expecting a signal about 1 V P-P (peak to peak). A standard microphone outputs between 1 and 10 mV.

Re: 10.5.5 update = lost USB Sound Sticks?
Run the installer update package again? Take some kexts, info.plists (what? which?) from a not yet updated MDD? More Info: log says: AppleUSBOHCI found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 0x18, timing out! repeat the above many times then: The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device. I've checked the Info.plist for /System/Library/Extensions/ IOUSBFamily.kext against the same file on another G4 dual MDD running 10.5.4 which recognizes the Soundsticks and the files are the same (version #s the same). Also checked Info.plist for /System/Library/Extensions/ AppleUSBAudio.kext and it is a match as well. I did find the IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext has different version #. 3.1.6 is now 3.1.7 Could this be a possibility? Looking at that file reveals no info on usb devices. I've plugged the usb directly into the mac updated to latest version of Onyx deleted kernel cache and restarted... NOPE log still saying the same. Anyone have other ideas? I haven't rerun the update yet. Guess I'll try that next. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

10.5.5 update = lost USB Sound Sticks?
Updated from 10.5.4 to 10.5.5 (136 MB) on G4 MDD dual 1 ghz seemingly without a hitch... 2 chimes/restarts and booted up. Then noticed sound from internal speaker and not from USB Sound Sticks and Subwoofer. Sticks don't show up in Sound under System Preferences or in System Profiler. Ran Onyx and deleted Audio cache which is a work around/fix I've used since the 10.5.2 update. I don't recall if they were not showing up in System Profiler prior to the current update, but they always became available under Sound preferences after running Onyx. Now not working ;-( Run the installer update package again? Take some kexts, info.plists (what? which?) from a not yet updated MDD? Any thoughts, suggestions greatly appreciated. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
