Sound cutting out after 2.1 update

Hi!
I installed the newest firmware upgrage, 2.1, the one with the "genius" playlist.
After this install however, i've had problems with songs cutting out after a few seconds. The song continues to play, but with no sound. Also, this often occurs if i turn the screen off, within a few seconds of selecting a new song to play.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Has nothing to do with that. Like the previous remark says, it's totally random. One song doesn't work so if you select another song it may play, or not, or just for a few moments. Go back to the song you originally chose and it may play, or not. Same with videos. I just bought a new dock and thought there was something wrong with that but, nope, it's the iPod. It chokes me that something that costs so much is so easily broken. I've only had it for 6 weeks and who knows how long it will take them to fix this issue.
If you are having the same problem, PLEASE report it so that we can get this fixed asap!
Thanks!!

  • My ipod video sound cuts out after 30 sec

    I play my movie and the sound cuts out after a while and then it only plays the video with no sound. It's not the video because it works fine on my computer and all the other videos are doing the same thing. I found if I rewind or fast foreward the sound comes back but only for a little while and the sound cuts out again.

    This happens with the current firmware 1.1 upgrade on the iPod. You can downgrade the firmware to 1.0 and this will solve that problem. Doing it this way you won't have to restore the iPod which will erase it. If you can't do this then you can restore the iPod using the previous updater.

    The other option is to use QT Pro which will work to correct the problem:

  • Onboard Sound Cuts out after a while - anyone know why?

    Hiya peeps,
      Ever since I bought my MSI motherboard, the onboard sound has been a bit dodgy.  Whenever I play games like UT2004 or halflife, the sound cuts out after several minutes of play.  It only comes back again if I restart the game, but then after a few minutes it will cut out again.  Anyone else experienced this?
    I have tried altering all the game settings from safe mode sound drivers to full EAX H/W accelerated but this has made no difference to the stability of the audio.  I have been updating all the drivers to my system as and when MSI live update picks them up, os I am up to date on that front.  I have a lot of decent kit (PSU etc) in my machine and its not overclocked in any way at all.  Also I have the most up to date direct x too.
    My system spec is below,  please help chaps.  
    PS im trying here as MSI have not responded to any of my email queries about this problem.
    Regards,
      MrG.

    I had the same problem, this is how i fixed it:
    Uninstall everything relating to the drivers for your sound from both the control panel AND the device manager, do not let windows PnP install ANY drivers. Then manually install the latest drivers, not from live update, but from MSI's website, then run the installer package. Make sure you reboot at every step, since that's what I did, and no more sound cut-out.
    See, we have many of the same specs in our computers, this is probably the same issue I had.

  • Sound cuts out after any given amount of time, only way to turn back on is to reboot.

    For reference, I am using a fully up-to-date mid-2012 model rMBP. Attached to my MacBook via USB I also have an M-Audio KeyStation 49i, which is where I have my headphones plugged in (probably not related in any way, but just noting this).
    I first encountered this issue while using Chrome and listening to music on SoundCloud with Garageband open after the last Mavericks update yesterday. I initially thought it was a Chrome bug, and in doing some research, I found that other Chrome users were having the same issue as me, but it was related to PepperFlash (a version of the standard Flash player), and disabling it in Chrome Canary fixed the issue for them.
    Unfortunately, it did not fix the issue for me, but I have refrained from using Chrome since then and stuck to Safari to ensure that it's not two issues with the same outcome.
    Then I stumbled across all of the Mavericks users that are having sound problems; anything from crackling/popping to not working at all. It seemed, though, that everyone that was having the sound cut out for them entirely were not only having this happen after their laptops came back from sleep mode (which is not the case for me), but were able to fix it by restarting Coreaudio[d] or -- if they had been using the headphone jack on their Macs -- they just had to plug it in again and take it back out. Neither of these worked or were applicable to my situation. Some were able to get it working again by resetting the PRAM/NVRAM, and a few others seemed to be able to bypass the issue by using Soundflower, but neither of these solutions worked for me either. The only way I can get sound to work again is to restart my computer entirely.
    After doing so, I am only able to listen to audio for a certain amount of time. It seems to vary depending on how much memory the task is taking up. Like I'll be able to listen to a track or two on SoundCloud, or attempt to record into Garageband for five minutes or so. If I'm in a Garageband project that already has a lot of tracks, I'll be lucky if I can even get through a few seconds before it cuts out entirely. There are very quiet crackling/pop sounds every once and awhile, but it is hard for me to distinguish if that is just the natural state of the hardware I am using or if it is related to background system sounds.
    I'm at wit's end trying to figure out what the problem is, mostly because there are so many others with similar issues and varying hardware/software setups that it's hard to track down exactly what my own situation is.
    I'd like to know where I should be exporting any error logs from so that someone can take a look at this issue.
    Thank you.

    After doing some additional testing, I was able to get the sound working again without rebooting by:
    1. Unplugging the MIDI device.
    2. Resetting the audio input and output to "built-in".
    3. Plugging back in the MIDI device.
    4. Changing the audio input and output back to the MIDI device.
    Still, though, the sound only lasts for a little while, and there doesn't seem to be anything indicating how or why it stops.

  • Sound cuts out after 1 sec on .avi files in QuickTime

    First, let me preface this post by saying that I have spent about a week searching through different posts in these and other forums regarding similar issues, and have yet to find a solution that works for me.
    So I have been trying to play certain .avi files with QuickTime that I BELIEVE have been encoded with the XviD codec. At first, no sound played at all. After installing a bunch of different codec files, including packages such as Perian and codecs such as DivX, XviD, and AC3. I finally managed to get QuickTime to play these videos with sound for about a second, after which the sound cuts out. Also, if I rewind or skip to another point in the video, the sound will restart again for about one second and then cut out once more.
    I should mention that these videos work perfectly when I play them with the DivX player. Does anyone have any suggestions or anyone with similar issues? I am currently running OS X 10.7 (Lion) on a new MacBook Pro 15"

    After installing a bunch of different codec files, including packages such as Perian and codecs such as DivX, XviD, and AC3. I finally managed to get QuickTime to play these videos with sound for about a second, after which the sound cuts out. Also, if I rewind or skip to another point in the video, the sound will restart again for about one second and then cut out once more...Does anyone have any suggestions or anyone with similar issues?
    As stated on the Perian "Support" web page, "Please consider removing obsolete QuickTime Components: FFusion, Xvid Delegate, 3ivX, DivX, DivX Decoder, XviD, msmpeg4v1, msmpeg4v2, AviImporter, EX_M4S2, Casio AVI Importer, AC3 Codec, and MatroskaQT." Having multiple codecs for the same compression formats can create component conflicts. Since Perian component package supports all of the named codecs, it is not necessary to have both Perian and the named codecs simultaneously installed.
    In addition, Lion seems to also be prone to conflicts with third-party software apps and hardware peripheral casrds/devices. If possible, it is usually best to disconnect/close anything you can during the tests. Also, it might be a good idea to test the same files on alternative systems. (I.e., if possible, you might like to post a sample problem file to see if others can play them without problem on other platforms operating under Lion OS as a further conflict test.)

  • Video problem - sound cuts out after 29 minutes.

    I have put some TV shows from my computer onto my iPod but after 29 minutes, the sound cuts out and I am left with just the video. If I skip past 29 minutes, the screen goes black for a second, then returns to the previous menu.
    My iPod is a 30GB 5G with iPod Software version 1.2.
    I used iTunes 7 and tried 7.0.1 to copy the videos to my iPod. They play fine on the computer.
    I have put films (1hr+) on before and they have worked fine, however that was with iPod software 1.1 and an older version of iTunes.
    Any ideas?

    Well sounds like the TV shows had transferred errors. Have you tried reloading them?
    Also make sure the Frame rate, and Audio rate are working ok. You will know if they are not, if voice and video are off even slightly. Also how long are the TV shows? 30 Min? If they are, then it may just be a corruption or skipped of the last min or few seconds, because the video is ending. That would explain the black screen. It does that after the video finished and it goes back to the last screen. So it just may have not copied the last few sec of the video, that happens sometimes. Try reloading it again!
    Also if that does not work, try resetting the Ipod. I would hate for you to “Restore” your Ipod for just 30-60 sec of lost sound of a TV show. Especially if everything else if working well.
    Best of luck. Don’t forget, if this post helped you, click Solved or Helped at the top of the post. It makes our rank better!
    Have a great day, and hope you fix your problem.
    P.s. it could just be that your Tv shows End at 29 min-ish as well IDK?

  • T410 - sound cuts out during playback, resumes after pressing volup or voldown

    hello, I am using T410 with Win& x64, more more than 2yrs. Last week the sound playback issue occured. This happens with video and audio playback of any file type. After 2-3 mins of normal playback sound cuts out, but resumes right after I press vol up or down. Then after 2-3 mins it cuts out again and so on. I dont believe its a software -related error, since sound does not play even with Knoppix Live CD. Latest drivers and BIOS updates are properly installed. windows sound test finishes succesfully. I have read similar posts but all were related to software configuration. I have also replaced the speakers without change. Is there a known fix, or even a fix at all? Thanks

    Yes, videos, music, online, off-line and even window sounds, all audio turns off.  Sometimes messing with the volume slider or mute button will bring it back on but eventually neither of these work and I have no audio period until I restart the computer and then the cycle starts over.  For my business I create informational short videos or audios and use internet calling.  I also attend trainings and meetings online.  Sound cuts out first every few minutes and gradually increasing until it will not come back on at all.  I purchased a small bluetooth speaker and use that but it is a pain to move, along with the laptop, when I am moving from one room or location to another.  Thought it would be a temporary solution until I could get the internal speakers working but since that is unlikely to happen purchased clipon speakers to make it easier to transport.  This is not some off brand, $350 computer but supposedly a quality business computer, which is what I paid for but did not receive.  As I said, I have searched the internet and found hundreds of post regarding this problem on both 410s and 510s.

  • Airplay cuts out after one song

    I am having a problem with airplay cutting out after each song when using Itunes. I tunes continues to play but tracks but is not transmitting via airplay.
    configuration is as follows:
    Airport time capsule is connected via wireless to airport express, airport express is connected to wireless internet router via cat 6 RJ45, Apple TV connected via wireless to airport express.
    It is not physically possible to connect all devices together with cable.
    Time capsule is set to extend network via wireless connection to airport express and both are configured for 5GHz.
    I can connect my MAC Book Pro mid 2012 to either the Time capsule or airport express.
    Aiport express is connected to a Sound sytem and apple TV is also connected to separate Sound System.
    When playing tracks through ITunes and selecting both or either airport express or apple TV airplay cuts out. If I connect directly to my old internet router it also cuts out, indicating there is a possible problem with the WI-FI connection but each device has a perfect connection due to their proximity. If I connect my MAC Book Pro directly to the airport express in the same room and within 4 ft of each other airplay cuts out after one track so that does not indicate a signal error.
    This problem has only started recently and did not happen on my windows PC and if I play directly from my IPad or Iphone the music streams perfectly but I can only stream to one device at a time.
    Current configs:
    Airport express Version 7.6.4
    Time Capsule version 7.7.1
    Itunes version 11.1.3 (8)
    MAC Book Pro OS 10.8.5 mid 2012
    Apple TV (latest update)
    Obvious things I have done:
    Checked for updates
    Rebooted every device several times
    Tried moving every device closer together (made no difference)
    Re-rooted all light aircraft and switched off every thing that could possibly that transmits device in the house
    Does anybody have a solution to this problem.

    I have this same problem. 
    I am using an Alienware Aurora desktop PC running Windows 8.1.  My music library is stored on  Synology Diskstation 1513+ NAS.  The PC, Playmaker and NAS are all wired into a Netgraer D6300 router. 
    I have no problem playing iTunes through my PC speakers or headphones but when I use Airplay to play either through my Apple TV OR my Bang and Olufsen Playmaker (through to B&O speakers) the music stops after one track even though iTunes is still playing the next track in the playlist.  If I stop and restart, or if I choose another track it plays through to the end and the problem starts again.  If I play wirelessly from my iPhone through the Playmaker and the B&O speakers I have no problem.  So it seems to be fairly and squarely an Airplay issue?
    This was intermittently happening but is now happening all the time.  GRRRRRR!

  • Battlefield 2 Sound Cutting out Issue - Possible

    This is for anyone who has been experiencing the sound issue in Battlefield 2, where the sound of your gun all of a sudden goes out in the middle of a match AFTER it worked before.
    There was threads where people told others to download the BETA driver, which I wasnt going to do. Then there was a thread where someone said something about the OPENAL file that you had to update from Creative. That wasnt it either.
    My BF2 Sound Settings BEFORE : Hardware, Quality High, EAX on.
    All I did was change one thing. Switch from "Hardware" to "Software". I was able to play round after round after round, and no sound cut out. It seems that its either EA or Creative not coming through for us who have SB Audigy 2 cards. Hopefully a patch or a REAL driver will come out soon and fix this. This is why we got the "Hardware" right?
    Hope this helps all!

    Well, I'm using a Audigy2 ZS Platinum Pro card, and haven't experienced any sound problems in both the demo and the full release version.
    Am using hardware + EAX + HIGH, in the audio menu.
    Haven't installed Creative's latest beta drivers. As I don't like to mess around with beta releases, that have been pushed out early to improve support for a few game titles.
    Anyways, this post was just to let you know, that it's possible to play BF2 without sound issues!

  • AX - sound cuts out, becomes metallic, stops

    Hi All:
    Can't find this issue in the forums. If there's a thread, please point me to it!
    For the first time today my 3-year-old AX began to behave strangely. We've always kept it up to date, so it has the latest firmware.
    This afternoon we were streaming our fave radio station SOMA.fm when the sound cut out for a moment, then restarted as a thin metallic stream. It sounded rather as if i were listening to weird jazz cymbal solo. After about 20 seconds of that, the stream just died.
    We tried changing the channel - no luck. We tried rebooting - no luck. Firmware is up-to-date. Same stream plays fine through our Macbook. Every time we restart, same behavior - streams fine for a minute, cuts out, becomes metallic, then stops.
    Any idea of root cause or another troubleshooting idea? It's always "just worked" until now from the moment we unwrapped it and plugged it in, so we're confused!
    Ty!
    F

    If you temporarily connect a pair of stereo headphones to the audio port of the AX, does the sound quality improve?
    If not, how about using a different audio source? For example, instead of the Internet radio stream to use an AAC or Apple Lossless file?
    If the sound does not improve with either of these, then it is possible the audio circuit in the AX that provides analog output is faulty.

    ps.
    Disabling CMSS 3D alleviates this problem, however I occasionally get a slight pops and crackles when playing games or listening to music.
    While playing Mass Effect 2 the sound will completely cut out in the same manner it does when I have CMSS 3D enabled, despite the option being turned off in the console launcher.
    At first I tried a clean install of the drivers, removing drivers, using driver cleaner pro, registry cleaner and then reinstalling them. Did not fix the issue. I then did the same for the chipset drivers and my video card drivers.
    I thought it may have been a problem with OpenAL (for mass effect 2) so I reinstalled that. Same problem.
    I tried using PAX's driver's, same problem.
    I've used DPC Latency Checker V.2.0 and according to it my machine should be able to handle real-time streaming audio with no dropouts.
    I'm at a loss at what else to do and any further help would be appreciated.

    Just an update on my problem.
    I was able to resolve the sound cutting out issue and the cracks/pops issue within windows by disabling CMSS3D + setting my sample rate to 24 bit, 96k Hz.. Using 92k Hz results in the cracks and pops coming back, although they are few and far between.
    Unfortunately this did not resolve my issue with the sound/audio cutting out in mass effect 2. I tried the onboard sound and that also cuts out, so I've determined it's not a hardware issue but rather a bug of some sort within the game. There are also other sparse reports of people having the same issue.

  • The audio on my macbook pro cuts out after a few minutes.

    The audio on my macbook pro cuts out after a few minutes. It sounds like all the low end is removed. I still hear audio but it is MUCH lower and sounds filtered. I can barely hear it maxed out. Nothing attached (no external drives, no speakers, etc) and it's only a few days old.

    Apple store pronto.  If need be (if less than 14 days from purchase) exchange for a new one!
    Ciao.
