Second user accont loses sound.

I set up a second account for my husband and it loses sound frequently.  I login to my account-the sound works, then login to his account -it doesn't.  Not the mute/volume.  We restart, it's fixed, hour later- off again.
I haven't tested it to see if it works if I completely logout of my account, I just thought of this as I was typing it, but is there a common problem with this?  I can't find any settings to adjust, etc.
I'm not technical, but I can follow software step instructions if pointed in the right direction.
Thanks.

There you go. Since I'm the only user, but have test accounts that I rarely log into, I've disabled FUS, finding it a resource hog.

    I lose sound after about 20 seconds on video in CS6.  It plays fine outside of CS6.  Why?

    And what does "CS6" refer to exactly? In any case, ask in the product forum of whatever program you are referring to and for the life of it provide more info like system specs, file types used and so on.... "This doesn't work" posts are useless.

  • I am using ALSA and Icecat. When I play any html5 audio/video it works, but the next time i click on another audio/video link I lose sound.

    I am using Parabola (a fork of archlinux), Icecat 31.4 and ALSA
    Icecat and firefox seem to hold onto the soundcard when I click on a new html5 audio/video link in the same tab. The next video/audio element loses sound. If I wait 10 seconds and click back to the start of the audio/video, the audio returns. I often get cpu spikes for icecat when it happens.
    I have tried this with both motherboard and usb sound and I get the same problem. I have disabled extensions (addons) in Icecat, deleted profiles, reinstalled the browser and even installed firefox from the AUR and it still occurs.
    I have disable gstreamer in about:config and restarted and it still occurs.
    My .asoundrc is this:
    pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
    All my other audio applications work. I have noticed that if I use pulseaudio it fixes it, but it should work without anyway, like it used to. I think something happened after an update, but I'm not sure.
    Any help would be appreciated. I know it's not a big problem, but it's really frustrating and I've had it for ages. I even switched browsers to get away from it.

  • Can Reliably Lose Sound Effects On 10.4.5

    I found a way to reliably lose sound effects on Mac OS X 10.4.5. I will report this to Apple using Mac OS X feedback.
    1) Enable Fast User Switching.
    2) Login as user1 and note that sound effects work.
    3) Without logging out as user1, login as user2 and note that sound effects work.
    4) Without logging out as user2, go back to user1 and note that sound effects still work. Then logout from user1.
    5) Go back to user2 and note that sound effects no longer work.
    6) Reboot system to restore sound effects.

    Hi, Richard.
    One question: are you using USB speakers? Have you tested this using only the internal speakers on your iMac?
    Good luck!

  • Follow These Steps To Lose Sound Effects On 10.5.8

  • All video players on Firefox lose sound and stop playing

    Any video player I play will randomly lose sound and a few seconds later stop playing. I've noticed that this happens when I have two or more tabs with video players on them. Having only one tab with a player, be it youtube, jw player, or veever, does not cause any problems. Having two of them out at the same time causes the problem to occur.
    I believe this happened around the time I installed winzip and Windows XP Mode onto my computer, but I have since uninstalled XP Mode.
    I use an Acer computer, Aspier 4830T-6841, windows 7.

    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
    [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
    [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
    [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

  • TS3367 I lose sound after several minutes

    I continue to lose sound during a face time conversation 3-5 minutes into the conversation.  The other end can hear me fine, but I can no longer hear them.  I usually hang up and call again and it's fine for awhile longer.  I've called into Apple several times and so far the advisors have never heard of this problem. So far I can duplicate it when using my earbuds or without.  I use my iPhone4S and my sister users her iMAC.  Apple had me reset and test.  Of course the next call I made for 6 minutes was fine.  I made a call to the same person later in the day and could no longer hear 2 minutes into the conversation.

    If you can duplicate this issue 100%, then I would advise to bring to an Apple store to show them so it gets documented in the system.  It is a very odd issue because I have never seen anything like that.
    Your not receiving a call or switching to apps during the facetime conversation?

  • 42 inch LCD TV loses sound on commercials

     I have a 42 inch LCD Toshiba TV 42LX177 that over the last three months loses sound on commericals on certain Time Warner cable channels.  No other TVs in the house have this issue and TWC has verified the cable feed is fine.  I have replaced the same cable feed with another TV and it works fine. I have also changed different audio settings on TV and got latest Samsung cable box and still has issue.  It has to be a TV issue.  Please HELP!

  • Why won't garageband work for second user account

    I have recently had new hard drive installed in my iMac, after a lot of time recovering everything I have my main (admin) user account working fine, including garageband 11 working fine after having to go through the unistall and delete all the library files work around. But now when I add a second user account for my kids, i get the same problem I had earlier. It shouldn't be the same thing because all of those files were deleted. I have cleared out the lirary files in the ~user library as well just in case but still the same issue. I get the warning that garageband needs to download files to work, it seemingly downloads all the files, then installs them, gets to 100% installed and then crashes.

    . I get the warning that garageband needs to download files to work, it seemingly downloads all the files, then installs them, gets to 100% installed and then crashes.
    This looks like GarageBand is trying to install the additional content - loops, instruments - for  the new users all over again as well. This should not happen. All loops and instruments should have been installed in the system library for all users and not in your user library for you alone. Or there may be a permissions problem with the system library. Did you install all additional contents from an administrator account or a regular user account without administrator privileges?

  • I bought Pages from App Store; can't get it to come up on second user account. Is there a way to share?

    I have 2 user accounts on my Macbook; I purchased Pages for one but can't get it recognized on second; is there a way to pull it up on second user account, or do I have to purchase it for each?

    Is Pages in the Apps folder or has it been moved? Apps in Mac HD/Applications should be available for every user account on the Mac unless you have enacted Parental Restrictions that make the app unavailable for a user to access.

  • File sharing: possible to warn second user of a file that it is already open?

    [I hope this forum is the best place for my question.]
    I run a small business: a medical practice. I use a Mac Mini to store all my documents, and we use two iMacs to access the documents through File Sharing. I do not run OSX Lion Server. All machines have OSX 10.7.5.
    I have a Numbers spreadsheet on the Mac Mini that is frequently opened and modified by the receptionist on one iMac, but also occasionally opened and modified by the doctor on the other iMac. (The vast majority of other files never need to be opened by more than one user.) Occasionally, the Numbers file will be opened by both users at the same time. If one user modifies the file, when s/he tries to close the file, a dialog pops up warning that there are two versions, and providing the choice to Revert or Duplicate & Save. This means a choice between losing changes, or subsequently checking two documents for differences.
    Note that it isn't possible to simply call out, "Hey, have you got that spreadsheet open?" when the doctor is seeing a patient.
    Also note that privacy is an issue, as the spreadsheet contains numerous patient names.
    Is there a way to: (a) Warn the second user opening the file that it is already open? Or (b) Make the file read-only when a second user tries to open it? (c) Inform the second user that the file is in use, and they can't open it at all. (There may be other solutions that I can't think of.)
    I am open to all ideas. I have tried dabbling with AppleScript, but can't find a solution with my emerging AppleScript skills. I have been trying to find out if installing OSX Lion Server on the Mac Mini would help, but I can't find the answer online. (I would have to pay someone to install OSX Lion Server, as I have medical software installed that may or may not fit well with Server.)
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    hmm, then would there be any way to reproduce the effect of the 'delete' or 'backspace' keys? If I'm right, I think there was an ASCII code for the backspace character... Would it be possible to insert it to get a character deleted!? :/
    I really need to find a way to do all of these operations on a text file because I think it wouldn't be a good idea to completely re-write 30Mb+ large files each time some data has to be modified :P

  • Migration assistant added second user did not merge data: iTunes

    I set up my new mac at the store then came home and connected my OLD iMac to the new via Firewire. I used Migration Assistant, and the migration took about 90 minutes. When it was done I had two parallel usernames; my old username with the old desktop look and stuff and the new computer's username I set up with the clerk at the Mac Store. Now I have two separate users on my computer, complete with two separate iTunes. When I look in the finder under Macintosh HD/Users, I see an icon for the new user (the little house) and a folder labeled with the old username but it has a red "negative" circle over it (like a push icon on an iPhone, but with a minus sign in the middle), plus a Shared folder.
    The weird thing is that all the documents and stuff merged, but I have to go to the old user to use iTunes. My old computer did also have 2 users (why? I have no idea) and it brought the iTunes library I did not use in, but not the massive library I do use in. I teach a fitness class and have about 100 unique playlists and ALOT of music on that thing - but the wrong library was brought in. Now I have to switch back to the old user to use iTunes and that just seems silly. I have tried 'add to library" to try to bring the stuff over but it can't see into the other user I guess.
    Any suggestions? It is so frustrating that my whole library is there but I can't access it on the new user after spending all that money.
    Thanks!

  • ITunes accounts can be accessed under one User but not a second User.

    Hi
    I'm having problems setting up iTunes on a new PC I've recently purchased. On my old PC - (Vista), myself (David) and my wife (Chris) had different Windows Users accounts, both with separate iTunes accounts which we could access with no problems.
    On my new Pc (Windows 7) I have downloaded iTunes and can access my iTunes account with my ID and password when the PC is logged in as 'David' as the User, as can my wife BUT when the PC the PC is logged in as my wife as the  User 'Chris' neither of us can access our iTunes account with our relative ID and passwords. We get the message.. "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.".
    I have seen this sentence on Google and on various forums including this one but cannot find a solution which fits my problem which is our iTunes accounts can be accessed when the PC is logged in under one User but not a second User.
    Has anyone have ideas to attempt to resolve this issue?
    Thank you
