A2019 JB Intermittant audio skipping when screen off

I don't know if anyone else is using their tablet for an audio player, but when I am, I will randomly get a pause in the audio for a brief moment. I'm using Poweramp, which has an option for wakelock when the screen is off to deter problems with the audio stopping when the screen is off. The screen being off doesn't normally stop the audio, but the option doesn't seem to help either. It would seem the OS is attempting to do something like go into a lower power mode than is required for Poweramp to run, and Poweramp is pulling it back out... Or something.
Anyone else encountering this? Any ideas for a fix?

Hello ugoff,
Make sure your apps and system firmware is up to date. As for the sound skipping when the screen goes off, I have seen that happen before and that usually only occurrs whenever a program in the background is being updated. Hope that helps.

How do you play YouTube audio with the screen off with iPod 5th gen?

I used to own a 2nd gen iPod touch, which ran on an ios 4.2.1 system, that allowed me to play YouTube with the screen off. Ever since I got iPod 5 which came with ios 7, let's say I am kinda still getting the hang of how everything works. I still would like to play YouTube while the screen is off, but seem to not know how. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? It's running on ios 8, so if you could help me with this, I would gladly appreciate it!

Hi there, you can download itube, it's in the app store, and that allows you to save youtube videos for offline play. Also, you can play youtube audio with the screen off, even without a third party app. Click on a video. When it's playing, press the lock button. Press it again, to wake the device up. You should see your video on the front of the display, with a play button. Click it, and it will start playing even if the device is off. Hope I helped, ~Samuel.

iHeartRadio is an app from an independent vendor. It is not from Apple, and Apple can't do anything to fix a broken app. Contact Clear Channel, the developer.

Audio meters on screen/off screen option gone in 09?

I haven't used this feature in a while but I really need it for the project I'm doing right now.
Remember when GB had the option to turn the graphical interface for the audio meters on and off. Turning them off graphically would make them slide to the left and hide them.
Is this gone in 09?
I'm working a project with 32 tracks and I'm moving tracks up the screen so every track is in the correct descending order but I keep sliding my mouse across the audio slider inadvertently and it would be nice to just get rid of the sliders for a while.

Well I'm done arranging the 32 tracks (more to come for sure) but I did accidentally slide my cursor over the fader and the pan knob about 3 times. Luckily I hit save every time I moved a track so I could revert.
Theres a lot of things I don't understand the "why" about when it comes to the latest GB iteration.
For instance the media browser seems like a good Idea but when it comes to browsing audio it only really works for stuff you have inside iTunes. It would be really nice if the media browser let me browse and listen to the loops I have spread across 2 external TB drives and a 750GB external drive.
Instead I have to use an app called AudioFinder.

Audio skips when streaming from the internet (pandora/grooveshark).

I'm using airport extreme, wired connection, to a macbook pro (2011) and mac pro (2009). audio skips on both devices when streaming from pandora or grooveshark. problem has persisted through system upgrades, clean installs etc... Problem persists through different web browsers (Firefox/chrome/safari)
Ironicaly, Itunes radio does not skip, neither does netflix.
I have seen COUNTLESS posts regarding this problem from many different APPLE users. I would love to see apple address this problem...

Your first step is to determine if there is an issue with this specific movie or if it's a universal problem. Does ANYTHING from the MBP provide both sound and video?
Another thought is DRM coding but that should affect both video and audio. If the movie has DRM coding and your television does not, then the movie won't play. I'm not an expert but I don't think that that's your problem because you do get the video.

Audio Skipping when iTunes is in background.

Hello everyone.
Whenever I'm playing audio (iTunes, quicktime movies, Youtube, anything involving audio), and I jump around from application to application, the audio skips horribly. It doesn't seem to matter if I have 2 applications open or 20. I don't have any lyric widgets open, which I've read can cause problems.
Anyone know of any solutions to this? It's really frustrating that I can't listen to my music in peace!
Thanks,
-Eric

There is always the throwing mud on the wall and see what sticks approach...
Repair permissions.
Run DiskWarrior. Don't have it? Get it.
Rest PRAM.
Reset PMU (last resort).
Also a good idea to test your memory: http://www.memtestosx.org/
And to keep all media on a separate drive than the OS.

Strange intermittent audio distortion when sending bluetooth audio

I have a 2010 Macbook Air and I am using it to send audio via Bluetooth to my stereo via a Belkin Music Receiver (http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=508754).
Up until a few days ago, everything was working perfectly.
All of a sudden, I am having an intermittent problem where one minute the audio will sound fine, and then the next minute it will sound distorted and staticy. The only way to correct the problem is to disable the bluetooth audio and then re-enable it.
I actually happen to have two of the Belkin units, and I'm having the same problem with both of them, suggesting it is NOT an issue with the Belkin unit.
I am wondering if perhaps a recent Apple software update might be causing a problem...or something else....
Has anyone had a problem like this?

How does it sound when you just playback the Timeline? If that works OK, have you tried recording on the DSR-20 during Timeline playback? Or are you only using the Print to Video command?
If Timeline playback also has the problem, try exporting a self-contained movie from FCP, then import that file into a new project - then try recording on the DSR-20 again.

Intermittent audio buzz when recording with power adapter

While running my 13" Unibody MacBook Pro on the power adapter, I get an regularly pulsing buzz that affects audio recorded in through my Griffin iMic. There's a sample of the buzzing I recorded at http://drp.ly/lmd8R - it starts halfway through it. The buzzing starts a few seconds after plugging in the power adapter and stops a few seconds after plugging it in. The power adapter is grounded and the cord is separated from the audio cords. Any help would be appreciated.

Are the Mac and all of the connected devices plugged into the same grounded UPS or outlet strip?
When I had a similar problem I ended up having a very serious electrical wiring problem in my house–a poor earth-neutral bond in my case. You may want to have a professional electrician check things out.

Receive Facetime Call on Mac when screen off

I have an imac 2007 intel, and macbook pro 2010, both running yosemite.
I have no problems seeing I have an incoming facetime call if the mac is on, or the screen is locked.
On both macs I have no way to tell there is an incoming call if the screen is off. The macs are on not sleeping.
Is there anyway to tell there is an incoming call if the screen is not on.
thanks

IPad2 audio stops when screen goes to sleep

As soon as my iPad 2's screen goes dark, the music fades out and stops. Hitting play starts it right back up. Happens the same via BT or the internal speakers. Tried killing all the apps and rebooting the iPad 2 - still happens. It's been working great until today. Any ideas?
AT&T iPad 2 64GB running iOS 5

Solved by using a 3rd party music player that can access the library on the iPad and no longer using Apple's iPod app.

Verizon galaxy nexus-music skips and static when screen is off..

What i do is download videos using youtube
downloader and convert them into mp3. Then i connect my phone to the laptop with
the usb cable. I open my computer-galaxy nexus-music, and i drag the saved mp3
from my laptop to my phone. When i disconnect the phone,I open the music app and
I listen to my music and it sounds fine when the screen is on. When the screen
is Off the music starts to skip a little and i hear static with or without
headphones. Now i used the same procedure when i load music from my laptop with
other mp3 devices and ipods and the music sounds good when the screen is on or
off with those devices. I downloaded a song from the android market and amazon,
stored it and downloaded to my phone for offline play and both songs stutter or
static when screen is off.

From the beginning, I wasn’t too impressed by the Galaxy Nexus. Why? It’s a Samsung. Would I purchase a Samsung for a basic phone? Sure, but when it comes to “top of the line” smart phones, Samsung wouldn’t be my first, second or even third choice. Now, don’t get me wrong, I contemplating parting with 299.99 to purchase the Nexus. The ics appeal outweigh some of my skepticism.. but before I buy a phone, I sit on review boards, cnet reviews, youtube reviews, etc. etc. In addition, it’s hard to trust a new phone of its kind. All the kinks (clearly) haven’t been ironed out. I, like Rushfan2112 went with the Rezound. And I LOVE it.
But do I think the Nexus is a “poor” phone? Na. Not by a long shot. Does VZW hinder the devices full potential? Of course – but we as Verizon customers should already know this – they proved so with the Iphones. Moreover, I’m a bit confused by the lack of update to the OS as well. This phone was specifically designed and released. It’s not as if we’re waiting for a complete OS change like HTC Rezound, Rhyme, & Motorola Bionic, 4 and Razr customers are. I understand that takes time because the OS has to be modified for each device. But the Nexus started with ICS, the ambiguity in the software updates is ridiculous….

Music skips when the display off power setting kicks in

I have a Satellite S55T-B5152, running Windows 8 (until 10 comes out). I've noticed a very odd and irritating problem - when playing my local music via VLC Media Player (just mp3s from the hard drive), I notice that the audio will start to skip after a few minutes. I timed how long it took to start and it will happen after 10 minutes of no activity when plugged in, and after 2 minutes of no activity when on battery, each and every time. I investigated my power settings and it turns out this *exactly* the amount of time when my display is set to turn off. When I alter the time for the display to turn off, the time elapsed until the audio skips will follow it exactly. I tested this with another mp3 player (Foobar) as well and got the same results. I can't test this with video as my display won't turn off if I'm playing video (either in the player or via the internet). What's also kind of interesting is that if I close my lid, which turns off the display, it won't cause the audio to skip - it will ONLY happen when the time to turn off the display has elapsed. So if my time to turn off display is 2 minutes, I can close my lid and the audio plays fine, but after exactly 2 minutes, the audio will start skipping. Anyone have any thoughts on this? It's very annoying - I basically can't play music unless I set the display to never turn off, which I'd prefer not to do for power saving and longevity reasons. Help would be much appreciated.

Mount the Disk Image on the Desktop. Open Disk Utility and select the dmg file in the left hand pane:
Next insert a blank DVD and click on the Burn button at the top. In the next window select the burn speed you want. I use 2x.
Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Skipped audio files when burning disc in iDVD.

I burned a DVD using iDVD version 7.0. The audio files sound perfect on the computer but on the disc there are skipped areas noted in three different audio files. I did try different discs and burned discs on both my laptop and my desktop. I have used this program before but never encountered this problem. Any tips? Thanks

Hi
My notes on this.
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff (Same as played on standard Stereo CD - no .mp3)
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provoking it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
Minuscular - - 176x144
Mobile - - - - - 480x360
Medium - - - - 640x480
Large - - - - - - 720x540 960x540
HD - - - - - - - - 1280x720
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies — except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format — that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Next track on Iphone when screen is off

Hi guys
I wonder if there is anyway to go to the next track (or previous) without using the touchscreen when the screen is off for power save. Kind of similar of what you do with the Ipod Shuffle.
I was wonder if there is any key combination on the volume or home button without resurrecting the screen on the Iphone.
Thanks

There is an option to bring up a simple iPod control when the screen is off or asleep by pressing the Home button twice - volume level, skip to next track, skip to the previous track, and pause, but not without using the touch screen.
I just tested this with my iPhone locked and screen off. After the iPod control comes up, the screen goes back off automatically after 15 seconds if I do or touch nothing else. I can always press the sleep/wake button to turn the screen off immediately.
The only way to do so without using the touchscreen is with the iPhone's earbuds.

Hi all, I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to Sony Bravia tv using Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support , when connected to the HDMI on tv I get a picture of the mac screen saver ( the starburst ) no video/audio,thanks, Derek

Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
Good luck Derek
