Why the sound cut out on my iPhone 4S?

In any app or on the main screen the sound will randomly cut out. Phone won't ring even if ringer is on, no typing sounds, no music or sound to videos. The + and - button on the side if the phone will bring up the image on the center of the phone but no white bar under showing where column is or it increasing or decreasing. The slide bar for column disappears in apps and when you slide up to the quick access items. Some times it works perfect. Headphones work fine at all time. If sound cuts out I can put headphones in and it works. Does not instantly correct sound without headphones though. It will stay off til it feels like working again.
Any idea what happened and how to fix it? It's about 7 months old. Never gotten wet although we live with a ton of snow and below zero temps so I don't know if going in and out from hot to cold could have caused condensation somewhere :/

Volume not column dang auto correct!

Why do the movies i have bought from itunes store the sound cuts out and glitches?

The sound cuts out of the movies I have bought. Can anyone tell me why?

You can't. Sorry. Encrypted movies in no way can be played back thru the VGA adapter.
You could do the following:
- get the Apple TV and stream the video to it. If you only have VGA input in your protector, get a HDMI -> VGA converter box. I use the one at http://www.dealextreme.com/p/hdmi-to-vga-video-converter-71816 for this purpose. It's pretty cool for the price - nevertheless, there're better models for more money; let me know if you need further recommendations on them. (Note that I haven't tested this unit with a direct HDMI output from the iPad yet. Will do it soon.)
- if the projector does have HDMI input, test it with the HDMI adapter. Hope the projector supports HDCP.

When I play a video on my Apple TV from my iPhone can I still have the sound come out of my iPhone instead of my tv?

When I play a video on my Apple TV from my iPhone (airplay) is it possible to have the sound come out of my iPhone instead of my tv?

No

When using full volume on my iphone 4s the sounds cuts out but if I blow air into the speaker it comes back on is this a hardware issue or a software issue?

Just recently my iphone 4s speakers started acting up. I have restored it twice once to a back up and the other time as a new phone. The speakers get really staticy on full volume and then it cuts out but if I turn down the volume and blow air into the speakers it goes back to play fine until I turn up the volume again. I'm going to try to clean it out with a toothbrush and see if that helps. But I'm curious does this seem more like a hardware problem or is it a problem with the operating system and I should try to hold out until ios 6 comes out and see if that helps. I've read all the problems with this so I'm hesitant to send it in since there is no apple store around here and find out I have to pay to get it fixed. Tried to talk to them on the phone but since it's a week past ninety days I would have to purchase apple care in order to get any help but yet that's only available for 30 days after your purchase so I'm not sure how come they can offer that over the phone. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the help. The problem just started suddenly. The problem I have is the closest Apple Store is 3 hours away so I would have to send it in and I don't want to send it to them and then be told I'd have to pay for it. Would they just send the phone back if you decide not to have it fixed. I will probably just get used to it or maybe it will fix itself one day.

How can I fix the sound cutting out when I use the dashboard?

When I use the dashboard feature to look at the calendar etc. the sound on my computer cuts out. It is not on mute, it shows as high volume but when I use the volume buttons to turn it up, they make no noise and if I am trying to listen to music, no noise comes out the computer. I have to restart the computer ever time this happens before the sound comes back.
Any ideas what the problem might be??

I convert old vynal records to c d but i have problem with the sound setting

When watching videos in my library, the sound cuts out and it freezes. After a few minutes, the audio returns but the scenes are choppy. Any help?

I have updated Itunes and quicktime and it still does this. I have taken my laptop to get checked, but it seems to be just iTunes that is messing up.

I downloaded an album and all of the songs are missing a large amount of audio. For most of the songs, the sound cuts out and skips to the next song.

The album is "The Mantle" by Agalloch. Whenever I try to play a song, it will skip to the next song. For example, the song "Odal" ALWAYS stops playing at 12 seconds in.
If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Does this happen with all tracks? Has iTunes ever played music correctly on the computer?
Check out this Apple document -> iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly
If you bought thte album from iTunes and its the only one having a problem, you should contact the iTunes Store with Express Lane.

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.
CPU: P4 2.8E Prescott 800FSB (200MHz * 14.0) HT Enabled
MEM: 1GB Corsair XMS3200C2PT Platinum CAS2
MTB: MSI 865PE Neo2-PFISR (MS-6728) Bios V3.7
GFX: GexCube Radeon 9800 Pro
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 120GB ATA-100 8MB
PSU: Enermax EG465AX-VE(G)(FMA) 460W
OS : WinXP SP1, all drivers up-to-date and Liveupdate up-to-date
Nothing is overclocked and all BIOS setitngs are set to the defaults.

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 Cutting Out on Standard Def Channels with or wthout DVR

Hi!
We are having occasional sound drop-out problems. They seem to only be happening on standard def channels although we have a hi-def box. (We often record sitcoms and kids shows in standard def to save room on the DVR.)
The problem is that the sound cuts out for a fraction of a second (just long enough to notice) at random spots. If we rewind and play it back, it still drops out in the same spot so it seems the issue is with the signal getting to the box from the outside line, not an hdmi cable issue as I've seen mentioned elsewhere.
The issue occurs whether we're watching a previously recorded show or a "live" one (understanding that even the live shows are delayed a few seconds to enable the DVR to record it).
I've seen other sound issues related to switching channels but this is not the case here.
I've also had it happen on a small TV with no box. We just have the coax going right into the display to watch standard def network shows on it. This leads me to think it's a signal issue, not a DVR one.
Anyone else have this and/or have any luck in getting it resolved?
Thanks!
Jeff

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.

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.

Sound Cuts Out Half Way Through Clip

I'm importing an AVI file into iMovie HD to edit it. There is nothing wrong with the file itself, there's sound the whole way through, but when I import it into iMovie the sound cuts out at a certain part. I've tried uploading it multiple times and every time the sound cuts out at the same part of the clip. I can't figure out what's wrong.

Welcome to the discussions.
AVI isn't a format. AVI is a container, just like MOV. These containers can contain video in any format (=codec) of the hundreds available. Which codec is YOUR video encoded with?

With this setup I am unable to use CMSS 3D without the audio cutting out completely. Before it does so it's usually followed with numerous cracks and po
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.
Thanks
