No audio in “Log and Transfer”

[Lon Keller]

Ben,

Have you had any luck with this? I also have the same issue. We’re running FCP 6.0.2, QT 7.4.5 and Kona 3 driver version 5.1 NDD.

Thanks,
Lon

Hi Lon,

No solution yet. For a while I thought cleaning system and audio caches with Onyx did the trick, but its still a suprise; audio or no audio!
I tried ‘downgrading’Quicktime, but it did not solve the problem.
I think reinstalling FCP is the next thing to try.
This is a very serious bug, but it looks like we are the only ones with this ***problem.

Ben,

Just got it to work. I shut down all programs and rebooted … that’s about it. Not sure exactly what did the trick, but I’ll try to explain a little more about our setup and the apps I had running at the time:

– Our I/O hardware is a Kona 3 with breakout box. RCA connections from the box to a Mackie Onyx 1220 audio board. We also occasionally use an AJA IoLA for making BetaSP dubs, but the ioLA is not connected at this time. Our Mackie does have the firewire I/O option for use with SoundTrack Pro and I know that I must power down the audio board in order to use the IoLA because both pieces of hardware use the same firewire bus.

– Other programs I had running at the time of the conflict included Microsoft Entourage 2008, Safari, NetNewswire Lite and Spaz (a Twitter client that uses the Adobe Air platform).

– My personal hunch is that the issue was caused by Spaz. I have Spaz set to play an audio alert when I receive a new tweet. I’ve noticed various anomalies on my system when running this program, so like I said, it’s just a hunch at this point. I’m going to turn off the audio notifications and see if that makes any difference. I’ll report back on my findings.

Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem? I’ve been having the same issue. Audio plays through the tower, and I can hear it through headphones plugged into the tower, but nothing through the speakers. I can still hear audio in the Log and Capture window, it just seems to be the log and transfer. Initially I was hearing it when I also edited on laptop, but then halfway through the day it stopped.

I don’t think it’ spaz cuase I don’t have that software. What i have done and appears to work is a permissions repair with Disk utility. Don’t know if that works for you.

Hi,
I trashed the FCP preferences and rebooted and that did the trick.

Hey there,

I am also having this problem and have been reading other threads of the same nature. It seems that everyone, including me, as able to temporarily solve the problem by some seemingly arbitrary means or other. I’m wondering if any of the posters in this thread who solved their issue solved it permanently or did the problem reappear later?

Cheers,
Aynsley

I’ve tried rebooting, trashing the FCP preferences, everything I can think of short of re-installing FCP, and still cannot get the audio to work in the Log and Transfer window. Anyone find any new tricks that work?

This happens on both of my edit suites. Seems the only fix is rebooting FCP 1 or 2 times…very irritating. Come on Apple!
