My streaming video audio will cut out for several seconds at a time then return to normal again.  I can, when the audio cuts out, turn up the manual volume on my surround sound to hear however when audio returns, I get blasted until I turn down the surround sound again.   High CPU utilization *may* be a contributor to this problem - currently averaging about 95%.
What can I do to correct this problem?

Hi MDS,
Here are the possible HP products for a Touchsmart 9100. Both models do not list Win 7 Home Premium as an HP supported operating system. Did you upgrade from Vista to Win 7 or did you perform a clean install of Win 7 Home Premium?
Both models also reflect this updated driver version (6.0.1.5932) for Realtek High Def Audio. You have driver version (6.0.1.7076) installed on your PC.
You could try installing the version per the above link if you have Win 7 Pro 32 bit or 64 bit installed.
Try checking your file system by opening an administrative command prompt and entering the following: sfc /scannow
You may have to schedule this task to run at the next boot. Please reboot your system to run the task.
Do you know which process is consuming all of your PC's CPU time?

  • Hp touchsmart win8 audio cuts out in the middle of listening or watching stuff after 5min

    Just bought a brand new HP Touchsmart Envy 23 and audio will stop working after listening to anything after a few minutes. Been doing it since I bought it. Will work again if the computer is restarted, but still will only last a few minutes before cutting out for good again. 

    To confirm, the driver linked to earlier in this thread was installed and your audio is no longer working at all?
    What is the product number?
    NOTE: Do NOT provide the serial number or the Windows product key.
    If you open the device manager (typically Start>right-click Computer>manage>device manager), is the sound card listed without any errors (?, ! )?  If it has a ? or a ! on it, open it and let me know what the status message is.
    What is the status of the mute key?  Does the key respond when it is pressed?

  • Audio cuts out for a few seconds

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if anyone is experiencing this but it happens to me all the time and it's so so annoying.
    When playingback the timeline on CS6 the audio cuts out at random places and then it comes back, then it goes again for a few seconds then back again,..while video keeps on playing.....this is just random and it can happen as soon as you press play or after a few seconds and it happens when audio is stereo, mono, mp3,wav,aif, you name it.
    Also, it happens regardless of playback quality or timeline render status (red, yellow or green). My computer is quite fast + 24gb RAM so I dont think the PC is a problem, It also happens on a different computer within our studio.
    Needless to say that editing under these circumstances is becoming impossible/frustrating and I'm even considering finding other software to edit with! I've found others with this same problem at cretive cow http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/935424
    If anyone from Adobe reads this, please help!!!
    thanks in advance

    Unfortunately there's no fix for this problem that plagues Classic since release. Considering that a new generation appeared I guess we have no reason to expect a fix anymore.
    I also have the problem and it makes the iPod Classic less desirable to be used as a music player than a generic $10 (no name) usb stick.

  • Audio cut out and midi miss sync

    Lately I have been getting audio cut out, and the missing, 'error while trying to sync audio and midi'.
    I thought it was that I had too many instances of virtual instruments. So I mixed the song down. Imported that into a NEW song, with only one audio track, and then proceeded to try to do an organ overdub...Well Logic still drops out and gives me the message, even though there is NO midi information in this file...
    Then I noticed that even AIF or mp3 files, didn't play properly from the desktop preview mode. They stop too. Activity monitor doesn't seem to be showing anything overworking..
    Disk Warrior fixed some volume errors,
    Anyone have any ideas to try?

    I'm using a motu828. I disconnected the firewire connection, and ran audio from the headphone jack to the motu, and VOILA, no problems... Last year, I went thru two motu units, not really sure if they are the issue.
    I think it might be LOGIC's firewire circuitry. Apple techs couldn't find the issue, I had the G5 motherboard replaced. Another factor was I had 3 Lacie firewire drives (2 firewire 800, 1 400) I have had 4 Lacie drives die on me in the last 3 years. They are the only firewire drives I have, so I don't know if the fault lies with them, or the again Apples firewire circuitry, stressing the drives out???
    I also put a firewire 800 card in my system.
    I have now switched to an external ESATA raid setup. No more firewire drives. So far so good. Since I had the whole motherboard replaced, I don't know what that means in terms of MOTU connected via firewire..
    For now, I'm running audio out of headphone jack, using all virtual instruments, so I know it will sound better when I get firewire audio up and running, but I got tired of it cutting out every 3 - 30 minutes. I'm thinking about the apogee duet unit. But again if it's connected via firewire, I don't know where that leaves me..
    My G5 is three and half years old, perhaps it's tired and wants to be retired....
    The dark part of me wonders, if Apple computers don't start crapping out after three years of heavy use, or is it that technology, software, updates, push the hardware beyond it's capacity after a few years.

  • Why does audio cut out 10-15 minutes into iTunes movie? Using Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit

    My audio cuts out in any completely downloaded iTunes movie (SD or HD) 10-15 minutes into watching it in iTunes how can I fix this?
    I have to shut down iTunes completely and restart it again to get the audio to come back. 10-15 minutes later the audio disapears again.
    I am running a Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit on a PC, 8 GB RAM, ADM Athlon II X2 265 Processor, 3.30 GHz
    Running iTunes application version 11.1.3.8
    Quicktime 7.7.4 (1680.86)
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes already.
    Any ideas?

    Hi  RonaldRenaud,

  • After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

    After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

    May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
    I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
    My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
    When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
    Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
    • restart Apple TV
    • restart Macbook Pro
    • quite iTunes/open
    • turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
    • unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
    None of these have alleviated the problem.
    The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
    Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

  • Audio Cuts out after a few minutes.  IChat AV 2.1

    I have surfed and have not found any topics like this yet. Audio is cutting out after chatting with another Mac - AV user. Both microphones still appear to work in the preferences, but the person can not hear on the other side. Video works fine, but now audio. Any help or suggestions would be helpful. Virex 7 has already been removed. This solved the video problems. Merry Christmas.

    Hi Brian,
    Your title states that the audio cuts out during a chat but the post itself seems to imply that you do not have Audio after the chat.
    IF it is cutting out during a Video cut can you please tell us what connection speeds both ends have ?
    It should be a at least 100kbps up and down.
    If it is not you will have problems. You may find that a cable connection varies as the chat goes on and this might be part of the problem.
    Soemthings that might help:
    GO to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab and set the Connection sped to mathc the download speed at either end.
    GO to iChat > Preferences > Video > bandwidth Limit Drop Down and set this to NONE.

  • Is it possible to have the same audio clip be playing nonstop between menu's in idvd '11? I want to be able to go from one menu to the next without the audio cutting out on me. Thanks for any support! I have tried searching the forrums but no luck yet.

  • Why does my facetime audio cut out?

    When I am facetiming with mac laptops running snow leapord after a period of time, the audio cuts out.
    What causes this and how to prevent it? It is very annoying.
    They can hear me but the audio from them is mute.

    If the iPod plays fine after you start the car, then most likely its fine and normal. If it doesn't, try contacting your dealer.

  • Sony STR-DN1040 audio cuts out briefly, frequently

    Audio on my new Sony STR-DN1040 cuts out whan SAT/CATV is the source. This happens frequently (every 30 seconds to a minute, unpredictably), though it is only for a fraction of a second each time.
    When the audio cuts out, the following items on the front display panel of the receiver all flash off momentarily:
    A.P.M.Dolby Digital SymbolD.L.L.
    When I reconnect the cable box directly to the TV instead of the receiver (same HDMI cable), the audio issue goes away. I have tried resetting/clearing the receiver. Any thoughts/suggestions?

    Thanks again for your suggestions! They are much appreciated.
    I have noticed that the problem is apparent on some TV channels more than others. Some channels seem to cause the audio drop and other channels don't.
    I have now tried attaching my Blu-Ray player to the SAT/CATV port using the same HDMI cable. The problem was not apparent (but I haven't noticed the issue with the Blu-Ray source previously, so perhaps that helps rule out the SAT/CATV port).
    I also tried attaching the cable box/PVR to the BD port and the problem was still present (as mentioned earlier, mostly present on certain channels).
    The software is up to date as of last week (ver. s9327.1074.0).
    I also tried powering off and disconnecting everything, then reconnecting and powering everything on in the described order. The issue is still present, regardless of the HDMI input port that I use. As mentioned before, this happens only when I route the SAT/CATV signal through the receiver. When I bypass the receiver, by connecting the cable box/PVR directly to the TV, the audio does not cut out on the usual affected channels.

  • Audio cuts out most of the way through an iDVD image

    We created a Quicktime file using Final Cut Express HD 3.5, and imported the Quicktime fill into iDVD 6 (all patches have been applied to iDVD and to Quicktime, and Quicktime has been upgraded to Pro version). The iDVD preview shows that all audio is present all the way through the end of the video(about 1 hour and 5 minutes), which means that the Quicktime file has all the audio present.
    However, after creating a DVD disk image with iDVD 6, the audio cuts out completely about 55 minutes into the video. The spot where the audio cuts out is not near any chapter marker nor near any transition of any kind in the Final Cut editor session.
    By the way, I am creating the image on an external Firewire drive with 112 Gbyte free, although we also tried the internal hard drive which has about 20Gbyte free.
    How can I figure out how to get all the audio onto the image created by iDVD?

    I believe I've found the cause of the problem! Within Final Cut Express, I found a system setting for output buffer size, set by default to 2Gbyte. I also found that the default 'Convert to Quicktime' setting is for Internet Fast Start. I increased the buffer size from 2Gbyte to 3Gbyte and unchecked Internet Fast Start, and I have no more audio drop out!
    I think that iDVD has a bug when multiple file segments are linked together in the Quicktime file (because of the smaller FCE output buffer size). Note that the iDVD preview did not experience the problem, so that part of the iDVD app seems to handle multiple file segments correctly, whereas the part that processes the file segments while creating the DVD image seems to have the bug. Increasing the buffer size masked the iDVD bug.
    So if anybody from Apple is listening, please fix your iDVD bug please!
    Concerning the ZR85, I do re-use tapes quite a lot and have never experienced problems. I do clean the ZR85 heads periodically. However, I shall consider using new tapes more often.

  • Audio cutting out at the end of my video

    So I exported a AVCHD video into an uncompressed AVI and then re imported it. I brought it into the time line and edited it a bunch and also brought in another video and mixed that in. For about half of the video, I used the audio from the video itself... but in different sections, I brought in a separate wav file. I used this wav file towards the end of the video for about 1 minute of the video. After I was done, I exported the entire project into a normal avi file because what I'm going to do for now is upload these to YouTube and so I don't want the file sizes to be too huge.
    So I opened up the final avi file in VLC player... and everything is great... except the last 30 seconds or so of the video doesn't have the audio. It plays the audio from the wav about halfway through... and then it stops. The video continues... but there is no sound.
    I went back into the project and everything looks fine. The wav file extends to the end and the audio plays fine when I preview the video. So I exported again just to see if it was some sort of error the first time... but no... it did the same thing.
    So why is the audio cutting out at the end? How do I fix it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok I figured out how to do a better quality MP4. However I had two problems. 1... the quality isn't near as good as the AVI. 2... now the audio cuts out in even more places instead of just the end. It seems that the .wav file I imported is causing the problems. In the AVI, the wav file cuts out at the end. In the MP4, the wav file cuts out in the middle AND at the end. I don't understand why this is happening. The wav file plays all the way through normaly, and it also sounds find when I preview the video... but when I encode it... it cuts out in places regardless of the format. Is there some step I'm missing in the process to make sure the audio is all in place?

  • Audio cuts out over hdmi

    My current setup is a 2010 mac mini running OS X 10.7 with audio and video going through a HDMI cable to a onkyo receiver which then passes sound to my home theater speakers and HD TV. Every now and then, the audio will cut out for about 4-5 seconds but the video will be fine. When the audio cuts out, the status display on the receiver will show "no signal". This never happened when it was running OS X 10.6. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions for a fix would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello dmurfett,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you have some issue with sound cutting out at higher levels. Can you please confirm if this is happening with the notebook speakers and headphones, or if it's only one of them.
    Just to make sure the correct driver is installed and not the Windows driver, uninstall the audio drivers and reinstall using one of these downloads: 
    Windows 7 64-bit - IDT High Definition (HD) Audio Driver
    Windows 8 64-bit - IDT Audio Driver
    You can also try this:
    1. Open Control Panel and click Hardware and Sound.
    2. Click Sound.
    3. While on the Playback tab double click on Speakers to open the Properties window.
    4. Go to the Advanced tab and click the Default Quality drop-down.
    5. Select the highest quality output (the highest Hz setting), and click Apply.
    6. Click OK, and test this setting.
    If this doesn't work, try the following:
    1. Open Control Panel and click Hardware and Sound.
    2. Click Sound.
    3. Click on the Recording tab, and double click Stereo Mix to open the Properties window.
    4. Go to the Advanced tab and click the Default Quality drop-down.
    5. Select the highest quality output (the highest Hz setting), and click Apply.
    6. Click OK, and test this setting.
    It would help to know which operating system you are using. To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?

  • Audio cutting out

    Hi, I am using Logic 7.2.3 on an Intel Mac with 2 gigs RAM. I am having a problem with audio cutting out both during playback and bounces. This occurs whether or not my Mackie Onyx 400F is switched on. I work with a lot of midi instruments, and the frequency of the audio cutting out does seem to increase when I have more instruments. Do I just need more RAM, or is there something else I should do to solve the problem?

    Increase the IO Buffer size.

  • Audio cuts out half way through video after conversion.

    I just put together some video clips I've shot into a single video, then ran it through conversion. Half way through the completed video, the audio cuts out for the rest of the film. Yet in iMovie, it's still there. I've converted twice and it cuts out in the same spot. Could corruption in a single clip, kill the audio for the following clips? Since it takes hours to convert, I thought I'd ask before deleting the suspect clip and starting again.
    I've spliced together clips before without problem, using the same camera source.
    Thanks.
    Cheers

    I figured a work-around. From the clip where the audio cut out till the end, I dragged those clips to a new iMovie project. After converting, the sound was intact for that portion. Then I opened the complete version with audio cut-off in Quicktime Pro. Deleted the the half with audio loss. Then joined the new half I just created. Voila!
    Only when I went to post the video on my vlog, did my Internet connection die (Comcast strikes again).
