No audio from QT or iTunes through speakers
Last couple of days I’ve been freelancing at an ad agency, they are running FCP 4.5 on a G4 in Panther, they have a DSR-11 which seems to be hooked up properly with a Mackie 1202 mixer, and QT movies opened on the computer will not play audio out to the speakers. Everything else seems to work normal. iTunes plays out no audio either.
Drove me nuts all day today, as I had to take SFX disks over to another machine to search.
I checked the sound settings in system prefs, line in/out is all that shows up. Sound works great in FCP using DV easy settup, so I am at a total loss to know how to fix it. I have to go back there tomorrow to finish up, any help would be great.

Since when does the computer sound come out speakers connected to firewire. Never has that I know of. Possibly you’re used to working with some other system or card that allows the system sounds (qt and itunes are system sound) to come out the card audio. It’d be nice.

You will need to connect the headphone/line out (on G5) or your optical out(again on the G5)to be able to hear system sounds, iTunes, CD’s, QT movies, etc.
Get a Y cable that goes from 1/8th inch to dual RCA connectors. Connect the dual RCA’s to your tape inputs on the Mixer and the 1/8th inch plug on the back (or front) of your G5.
There ya go!

Hey Mike,
It’s a G4 dual 1 gig. Do I plug into the back somewhere?

You need to run the Y-cable from the headphone jack on the back of the Mac to a stereo channel on the Mackie.
