AVID CORE audio manager Problem
 

Hi Evryone. :D

I'm experiencing a problem.
I recently moved from HD3 accel to HDX.
When Protools software is off, Avid core audio manager works perfectly with iTunes, but doesn't seems to work with Safari Audio in general.
(youtube, websites etc...).
Have you guys any ideas to make it work?

Thank you very much.

I'm running Protools 11 & 10 on Mac OS X.9.2 with The new Mac Pro.
The Rig is : Protools HDX on an external Sonnet PCI extention unit, and Avid 16X16 audio interface.

I imagine you have but have you checked after startup but before running apps.
your sound control panel and Audio Midi Setup?
(All set to use HDX as sound card in and out).

Hello,

Thanks for answering.
Of course everything is set up properly in both sound control panel and Audio / MIDI setup.
I think maybe that's because i'm running Maverick. I had no choice for that because i bought one of these new mac pros.
Any idea?

Thanks.

Flash player updated and or installed?

hi again, thanks for answering.

Of course, yes. Flash player installed and up to date.
if i choose, built in audio or other speakers, it works perfectly.
it,'s only with HDX and avid 16/16 hardware. it crashes. period.
i did update to PT 11.2, so i have the latest version of AVID HD drivers 11.2 .
But still.
same problem.

i'm running OS 10.9.3 by now.

I am seeing the same issue.
HDX is selected for system and output (there seems to be no way to select it for system input though!!!)
iTunes and Firefox auto launch the Avid core audio engine as expected, but Safari 7.0.6 does not.

I will verify QT and quicklook next and double check flash update, and old preference plist files.

Please post other findings for this issue!

Hi,
I am having this exact same issue, I'd love to resolve it. I have this issue on a few HDX and HD Native systems, so I'll just use one as a guinea pig.

Mac OS 10.9.3
2.93 GHZ Quad Core
8GB RAM
1 HD Native Card
Avid driver 11.2.1
Pro Tools 11.2.1

System Preferences are set for sound output from the HD interface. Avid Core Audio Driver does not launch when attempting audio playback within Safari. Pro Tools functions fine. Other applications launch Core Audio and behave just fine. These applications include iTunes, Logic, Reason and Live. Flash and Java are both up-to-date.

QuickTime will launch Avid Core Audio, but not connect (0 clients). Clicking "play" causes the application to hang, though it will quit. Quitting Quicktime also closes Core Audio, as expected.

Safari cannot playback audio and it will not even launch Avid Core Audio at all. Youtube, for example, will give an error and suggest checking to see that Javascript is enabled (it is).

We have six systems here and I am seeing this behavior in all of them. Any ideas?

Re: AVID CORE audio manager Problem
 

hello guys,

My problem is not solved yet.
The pain in the A.. is that it also freezes the output audio from 2 different CD authoring software on my system.
I looked around, and found some like that : http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e.../HDX-CoreAudio


still doesn't work for me. I think the problem is between AvidCore audio manager and mac os X's Audio midi setup.

You can't actually right click on the "AVID HDX" in the left column to set it as the main output.

The problem seems to occur since PT 10.3.6.

SO : does everybody here has PT 11 & 10 coexisting on there system (i do, for my control 24).
Thank u :-)

Hi there!

I did have the exact same problem.
But as it seems I just found a solution, that worked for me.
After weeks of searching the web for hints on this problem, today I found this in the Blackmagic forum:

Here is the link to the forum:http://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/vi...hp?f=3&t=22196

In my case, I actually did install Resolve a couple of weeks ago but somehow couldn`t combine the event of installing resolve with the core audio manager to stop working with thrid party apps.
So now, after deinstalling resolve and going through the steps mentioned in the post on the blackmagic forum, it seems as if the Avid core audio manager is working again :D

Maybe this helps others too, or at least points your search in another direction, which could lead to a happy result.
