• iPhone 7 will not play audio via the USB port on the car.

  When I plug my iPhone USB port 7 more in my car (15 Jeep Grand Cherokee), the artist/song/podcast information appears on the screen, but the sound plays through the speakers of the phone.  I have confirmed that my settings are all the same as they were on my 6s, who played without any problems via the USB connection.  Bluetooth streaming works fine - no problems at all.  Any ideas, or is this a problem similar to that people have with CarPlay?

  Welcome to Apple Support communities, kevo.mac!

  Congratulations on your new iPhone 7 more! I see that you connect with your Jeep Grand Cherokee using the USB port. Everything seems to work fine, except that the music plays through the phone instead. I'll be happy to help you to get this working.

• CarPlay audio quality of the voice when it is connected through the USB port is poor vs Bluetooth on Pioneer AVH-4200NEX

  Hello!

  I recently installed a Pioneer AVH-4200NEX unit, I was super excited to improve my car with the support of CarPlay, and everything works great except for one thing.  When I connect my iPhone (6s +) to the unit via a USB cable and a standard phone call, the audio quality is very bad - hail, very downsampled, and metallic sounding compared to the use of Bluetooth via the unit to pioneer for the same phone call (I'm on LTE, using HD voice, although the quality difference is quite noticeable on the calls not HD and on the 4 G calls).  I looked for an answer to this question, but the best that I can find mention of limited USB bandwidth and try to juggle than the bandwidth for the rest of the CarPlay experience, although I don't buy not because audio via the iPhone connected with USB playback is just as clear that it is through Bluetooth.  So my question is: How can I submit a bug report Apple about this behavior and (b) do you have other CarPlay users also be known this recent problem on a unit of Pioneer NEX (AppRadio included)?  It would be great if this is a bug of Pioneer for which they can release a firmware update, I'm just worried that it is a codec problem specified by the CarPlay, so non repairable.

  Thank you!

  Hello served,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I understand that when you use the USB cable for your iPhone in your car with the audio CarPlay is mediocre. I know how it is important for you to hear your calls clearly. In a situation like this, I recommend the steps described in the following article to help solve the problem.

  Configure CarPlay to use with your iPhone

  Specifically the section to get help:

  Get help

  If CarPlay does not work as you expect, here's what you can check. After each step, try to use CarPlay again.

  1. Make sure that Siri is turned on.
  2. Restart your iPhone and your car. Depending on your car, you can see the CarPlay home screen when you turn it on. If you do not, look for the CarPlay logo on the screen of your car.
  3. If possible, connect your iPhone to a different USB port in your car.
  4. Try a different lightning to a USB cable. Make sure that the cable is certified.
  5. Update to the latest version of iOS.
  6. Check the manual using your car. You may need to install updates of firmware for your stereo.

  See you soon

• USB & Firewire audio interface ports still work as input and output?

  I guess everyone has to start somewhere, even if it is borne by almost everyone I would like to know the answer to my questions, perhaps with good reason, what I don't know is so if the USB ports unique connection and firewire on an audio interface function ALWAYS both as input AND output.  In other words, whenever I read the information about the product on audio interfaces, no matter where I go, it is generally accepted that most people buy their audio interface for RECORDING.  And so when most people talk about connecting their Apple computer, iMac or MacBook Pro, it is generally accepted, they turn to the USB as INPUT.  That's all very well and good.  But in my case, I want to use the USB port as output (not the taken mini) and go into an audio interface that gives me as a symmetric output signal that I can plug my amplified studio monitor (which has only a balanced XLR input). All of the examples I see with audio interfaces address registration and involve the use of the USB on the audio input interface.

  So my question is: can one USB port I see on any number of audio interfaces always function both of the inputs and outputs? It takes, but if so, why does any site mention this fact and whey didn't they show in all the diagrams of the audio interface manual hook to studio monitors?  I know what may be obvious to some, but as a user with the intention not to use a piano for a scene while but rather a keyboard/MIDI controller that is attached to the iMac to be able to use the virtual instrument software, I need to go to the controller to the iMac, then the iMac in symmetrical powered monitors. Do the balanced inputs of speakers requires more than a simple adapter to give the President a balanced input.  But nobody talks about audio interfaces usually unless they talk about as a way into the computer to record.  As for my situation? Why don't they include this example?  And why should they assume that novice will automatically KNOW that the usb port, an audio interface will work as an output as if they never EVER mention this example or Setup?  I guess it is to operate in both directions!  But really, I'm crazy to wonder when no one never speaks or shows this configuration? He suggested I buy something similar to a UR22MkII of Steinberg, who has a USB port. Even the Steinberg site speaks only records and so using the USB key as input for use with the recording software. There is no mention of its use out the mac in balanced speaker entries, even in the manual. In fact, it is question is always true for every audio interface manual that I watched, even by other manufacturers! Why they all assume a novice like me (whose money is just as good as money from the experienced user) KNOW that? It's frustrating!

  I know that this is not strictly a matter of logic, but I guess, in my view correctly, that a logic user community could be more appropriate to address my question for others communities. If I'm wrong, please help to re-send-the matter.  Thank you.

  Sound the interface itself that determines it can send and receive Audio or Midi... not the USB or FW port which both are devices of e/s...

  All USB and Midi peripheral FW are inputs and outputs

  All the USB and Audio FW are inputs and outputs...

  All devices USB or external hardware with a USB port... can handle Midi and Audio...  Some do... Most manipulate just Midi... or just Audio

  The Steinberg UR22MkII manages Audio and Midi...

  However, I do not recommend USB 2.0 audio devices... There are simply too many cases, problems and questions after the major updates for OS X with such devices especially when they are class compliant (IE without driver), even if the UR22MkII Steinberg is supposed to be compatible 10.11...

  View the other may vary... because it's just a personal opinion based on my past experiences both in my studio... and based on the many issues presented here and elsewhere.

  I'm sticking with Motu equipment for all my Audio devices... and I use iConnect devices for my Midi needs...

• Satellite A500D-10F - audio USB is cracking/nervous during playback

  Hello!

  I am having some problems with my USB Audio on my Toshiba A500D-10F.
  The sound is cracking/nervous during playback of the sounds all. Even the sound system when the computer is idle.

  I tried two devices USB (Creative Arena USB Headset and Sandberg USB Sound box 7.1) audio, both with the same crackling sound, working fine on two other laptops.
  It's not feedback, it is only when his cheek that I hear the crackling.
  When no sound is played, the speakers are quiet.

  The Conclusion is that there is a common fault audio trough my USB ports.
  Mouse, disk hard etc works fine on USB ports.

  Works sound pit that my sound card integrated works very well, but there no available analog 5.1 output, so I need an external audio device to get 5.1 analog audio output. I now use the Sandberg USB Soundbox 7.1 to achieve this.

  I tried the following:

  Install the latest drivers for the USB box
  Tried to use generic drivers provided by windows.
  Reinstalled Windows (twice)

  Tried all of the different usb ports
  Tried without that no other usb devices connected
  Adjust the flow of output
  Disabling the integrated sound card
  Disabled all other devices, including sound recording devices

  I have the latest BIOS update (1.20)

  I have a laptop Toshiba A500D-10F
  Owner of 2.3 GHz Dual core
  4 GB of ram
  Card VGA of Radeon HD 4600 series

  Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit
  All USB ports are USB 2.0 compatible.

  Could you please help me solve this problem? I did some research and think that he might have
  something to do with IRQ sharing, although I can find no good explanations as to how I would go about to fix.

• Installed Windows & 32 Bit drivers and USB ports don't DO NOT WORK.

  I bugh a laptop HP Pavillion 14 TS who came to preinstall Windows 8.1 64-bit I hate so wiped the drives and installed Windows 7 32 bit and now I have a big problem.  None of my network drivers work and 2 uSB ports where I plug in my mouse and other devices of SB to do more work.

  I did a back up of the established SW leader who has all the HP dvers for my laptop but will not install the network and video of divers. And when I try to install the drives, I get the error message saying that they are not compatible with this version of Windows.

  I loked on the HP site under my model of laptop that s as above, but HP don't do my notebook drivers for Windows 7 32. And I looked on both the Realteck site for network wireless Realteck and Ethernet Realteck drivers but none of them work or install on my OS. Intel video drivers do not work either. So I'm really stuck one I can not return to 8.1 Windows as if that 32-bit Windows 7 works on my laptop but most of my drivers is not compatible with the operating system and I don't want not to install 64-bit Windows, I like 32-bit.

  Drivers that do not work on Windows 7 32-bit are:

  Realteck RTL8188EE 802 - 11 b/gn witeless lan

  Die Ethernet Realteck and

  Intel High definition graphics driver

  That don't work at all under Windows 7 32 bit because they are the only 64-bit drivers.

  So can you please post me a link network bth and drvers of graphics from Intel that works with my laptop. I tried many different drivers Realteck and raphics for Windows 7, but none of them DOES not work on my system. And none of my USB ports are no longer works. So, how can I fix this?

  Hello:

  Should be no problem to get W7 32 bit to work on this model.

  Just use all the drivers and software from the HP Probook 450 G0 on your model, except the Audio, BIOS and firmware files.

  Your model uses only the Intel HD graphics driver.

  The first pilot, you need to install the Intel chipset installation utility and reboot.

• HP a6554f: Front USB Ports not working for a6554f

  Hi, I cleaned the dust from my computer yesterday for the first time because the computer kept crashing. I removed the motherboard, so I unplugged everything that was clinging to her and I also removed the hard drive then plugged everything once I had finished, (do not know if I just plugged in as it was, even if I took a video of it, but the wasen can't good quality so I had to guess a little). I also added thermal compound to the cpu.

  Anyway, everyhting seems to work except the 2 usb ports front of the case. It was working fine until I opened the case (this is why I do not open the computers, but the dust was just too). The audio ports and microphone located in the front work correctly. And the rear USB ports are working properly.

  What I've done so far is running pilot Booster and also I went to Device Manager > USB Bus controllers, then I turned off everything on the list, then allowed them again. And nothing has worked.

  I don't know much about computers so I don't want to go to the hassle of opening the case cause once again I was scared lol but could I maybe hooked up a cable in the port of fake?

  Also, is there a diagram to show where each cable goes to the a6554f model?

  As you pointed out the audio before and MIC ports are working, then it might be just the plug for the ports before USB is not properly or is in the wrong place.  Here is a page that relates to the motherboard. In the lower right corner of the image or the page layout scheme, there are two blocks header before normally taken into USB ports.  Says F_USB1 and F_USB2.  Either we must work to the front ports.  Check to make sure that the wiring box beam (which has the wires going to the front USB ports) is connected on one of them.

  The Xbox controller draw right on the edge for a USB port, putting pressure on all of the USB bus, especially if there are other USB devices. If you get an external USB powered hub to add to your system and plug the controller, you will solve your problem.

  I had the same problem with my Creative Labs USB sound card and the Xbox controller at the same time. I picked up a Zonet similar to this (different brand):

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817182168

  I plug my controller, keyboard, and mouse dongle in the hub and plug my sound card directly into one of the ports on the back of the PC. Problem solved! I got no sound since problem.
