Annoying sound problems in voip programs.

Hello,
I have a x-fi sb soundcard.
And I have problem: Whenever I am in Teamspeak or another voice program and someone says something, they'll hear a strange noise coming from me, which is exactly as long as they talk and with the same rhythm and really annoying for them. I'm using a headset. I can also disable my microphone and they'll still hear themselves (well not really, a loud ugly noise). If I try another headset the same problem occurs.
Here is a screenshot of my sound settings <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.abload.de/img/aufzeichneny40z.jpg"]http://www.abload.de/img/aufzeichneny40z.jpg[/url]
Would be awesome if you can help me, this is bothering me for months.

- Can you look in your control panel under sound, and if you multiple tabs, do you have one for Audio Enhancements? If so, can you uncheck the box, reboot your machine, and try your team? speak again? Also, if you have exactly four gigs of RAM in your system, you might need to limit yourself to just under 4 gigs. You can do this by going to start, run......and then type msconfig. There you will find a tab that says.........boot, and then to advanced options, there under maximum memory, you can type 3980. This will limit your RAM to just under 4 gigs. Then you do not have to remove any sticks of memory, and your microphone should work.
Here is a screen shot........

U350 sound problem

Hi
I have a very annoying sound problem on my Lenovo U350. The problem is that when i talk to people using Skype, the sound gets cut off after a little while. When I open Sound options in WIndows the indicator beside the "Speakers" icon shows actvity when the other participant speaks, but there is no sound from the computer (have tried headphones to with no luck).
Here is what I have doen to try fixing the problem:
- Updated to all the latest drivers.
- Updated the BIOS.
- Doen a full recovery of the system.
- Doen a complete, clean reinstall of the OS with the latest drivers.
Nothing helps...
Hope anyone have clue of what might be the problem, because im starting to loose my patience with this computer

I have the same problem. I tried reactivating the speaker, new drivers etc... nothing works besides a reboot. But after 5minutes spekers turn off again. You can plugin external speakers, they always work.

Sound problems when playing games

I have just bought a new iPod touch. I've noticed that when listening to my headphones, when I play a game the sound goes very crackly. This goes for both the games sound but also whatever mp3 I happening to be listening to. If I exit the game, the sound returns to normal. It doesn't appear to be a problem in other programs (as far as I can tell).
Can anyone shine a light on this?
Cheers
Ross

Yea sorry, should have done that at the start.
I only have 3 games but over 10 apps. I only have problems with these:
– PapiJump
– PapiRiver
– CannonGame
It's not just when I'm using the headphone jack either. Even if I use the external speaker, I can be in the game menu and the sound is ok, as soon as it starts playing it goes crackly. This is both when I am playing a song or when I am just listening to the game sounds.

Macbook Pro Hard disk Makes an annoying sound (buzz) while working but functions properly.

I've got this Macbook Pro 13 inch 2.4 Intel core i5 processor. After about a year the hard disk without any reason started to make an annoying sound (buzzing) while working that sometimes quiets down but when I move the laptop it starts all over again !! Also when I put it down on a side like on my bed while I'm lying on the bed it makes the same sound !! Like when I move the laptop I can hear the buzzing sound changing !! The hard disk functions pretty well though!! What's the problem? I tried Verifying and Reparing the Disk as my father suggested and that helped a bit but after like 10 minutes it's starts again. Any ideas? Have you guys ever seen such a thing before? What should I do?

I have the same issue you're having.
When it first happened (soon after I bought my late 2013 15" MBP), eventually my motherboard and Retina display crashed and needed to be replaced. Now after a couple of months being repaired, I started getting the same clicking sounds opening web browsers or apps, etc. I'm worried its the same thing with the motherboard and or retina display starting to fail again.
Im going to have it checked out however like you said, It's hard to replicate on the spot.
Please LMK if you have any updates on the cause and I'll do the same.
Thanks!

Is there a solution?

Hey there Rodney274,
It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.

Hey there Warrior41,
it sounds like you are unable to use iTunes because it either will not launch without this error, or you get the error when you are using it. Sorry to hear about that, that can be pretty aggravating. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue, named:

IMovie sound problem - a solution discovery

After downloading a video in iMovie and completing all the processes steps that I wanted to include, I tried to burn this project in iDVD. A problem arose with the sound when I played the iDVD preview. The sound was grabbled and distorted. I contacted AppleCare and got several possible solutions, but none of these solve my sound problem. I even tried to send it back to my camcorder and use my older G4 computer to make a DVD. However, the program could not be transferred to my camcorder either.
Now a strange discovery was found. On the sound line in iMovie (where I had recorded my voice program) was a small yellow dot. Yes, very small yellow dot. I wondered why this was there and clicked on it. The dot move up to the top bar where my video clips were stored. I thought maybe this had changed things, so I rendered the program to iDVD again and previewed it. The sound problem was gone. I successfully burn the program to DVD and found it was okay to view. I have shared this discovery with AppleCare and was asked to share this information in this discussion forum. I hope that others may benefit from solving a similar problem. I still don't know how the tiny yellow dot got on my sound line. If somebody knows, it could be interesting and helpful to avoid this problematic yellow dot. Good luck - Seapark36

Welcome to iMovie Discussions!
Thanks for mentioning this business of the "..very small yellow dot".
This sounds like a 'Bookmark'. Bookmarks can be placed on the Timeline, where your video plays, along the bottom of the computer's iMovie display, by purposely - or accidentally! - pressing the Apple key and 'B'. Bookmarks let you jump instantly back and forth through your movie (..to the next Bookmark..) by jumping forwards to the next one with Apple and ']', or backwards to the previous one with Apple (..also known as the 'Command' key..) and left-square-bracket '['.
They have, though, been known to interfere with proper playback when exporting (..'Sharing'..) to tape or to iDVD, so Karl's advice has been to delete all bookmarks when the editing's finished and just before 'Sharing'. All bookmarks can be instantly deleted by going to Markers on the top line menu and clicking Delete all Bookmarks.... (An individual bookmark can be deleted, once you've jumped to it, by pressing AltAppleB.)
The little diamond-shaped dots look almost identical to Chapter Marker diamond dots, which you can create by clicking the 'iDVD' tab at the lower-right beneath the right-hand 'pane' of the iMovie window and then clicking 'Add Chapter'. That creates a chapter marker to separate a particular section of your movie when it plays back from a DVD you've burned.
The Bookmarks and Chapter Markers seem (..to me!..) to have a very slightly different colour - maybe one's green and one's yellow: I don't know; I'm red-green colour blind, so I can't tell yellow from green, or green from red!
So perhaps you accidentally created a bookmark by unintentionally tapping the Apple key and then the letter 'B'. Removing it, and all other bookmarks, is generally acknowledged to smooth the process of exporting (..'Sharing'..) a movie project.
Thanks for posting your observation, and reminding us about how important it is to delete bookmarks before exporting!

Sound Problem Plus Memory Problem

I've also posted this same issue at the EVGA website with no help what so ever yet. Also if it's ok I'm having the above mentioned memory problem that it probable not related but if anyone does have good input I would love to hear. Hope this doesn't break any rules, didn't see anything in the listed rules thread. So here it goes.
Ok I'm having a few minor but very perplexing and annoying problems. I have recently built a new rig to include the following.
Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition
EVGA P55 FTW Intel P55 Socket LGA56
Intel Core i5-750 2.66Ghz 8M LGA56 CPU
Corsair Dominator 4GB DDR3 PC2800 (2 x 2 GB sticks)
Ultra LSP750 750w Power Supply
Seagate TB Serial ATA HD 7200/32MB
Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower Black Case
Galaxy GeForce GTS 250 52MB PCIe x2 (SLI Setup)
BFG - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT GB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card (Physx Setup)
PROBLEM ONE:
This one I had a lot less that I was able to actually try because it just confused the crap out of me. So I started by going to test my sound. I'm running an optical cable from the on board sound port to back of my sony surround sound system. I get sound from my left and right channel but nothing from the center, rears or sub. So figure no biggie just need to change the configuration from 2 speaker stereo to 5. surround sound. Guess what... the option isn't there? WTF? A sound card with an optical port with no 5. support? So went online found the drivers for the sound on the mother board and tried reinstalling thinking maybe somthing was wrong with the drivers on the CD. Well it still didn't work. So I figured what ever, I got an external sound card that I know works with Windows 7 since it was on other desktop and hooked it up. Its a Creative - Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5. External USB Sound Card. Well it installs fine and I go to test it. Yep you guessed it! Still only sound from the left channel and the right channel with no option for surround sound. So I was able to find updated drivers for that and ran em. Well now I have an option for Surround sound with side speakers only no rear. Oh but it doesn't really matter because the left and right channel are still the only ones able to produce sound. And yes the speakers work I turned on my X-Box 360 hooked up to the same speakers and LCD tv and played COD4 with full sound working fine. So something else has to be happening I just have no idea.
PROBLEM TWO:
The second problem was with the memory. Everything booted fine but it initial only detected 2 GB. By the way I had them installed in slots and 3. So I shut down and popped em out checked the copper connectors everything looked fine and reseated the chi
ps.
This time during the boot up I checked the BIOS. It saw all 4 GBs of memory. Continued into Windows. Windows now saw all 4 but only .99 GB was available. Now the only other time I've seen anything like this was with on board video sharing the memory, and even then it wasn't half of the systems total memory. I then tried shutting down and putting the chips in 2 and 4 just see what would happen. Well I got an EA post error on the LED, couldn't even boot. So I figured o'well power down completely and tried to run the memory in 2 and 3 to run it out of dual channel. I was able to boot but still had the same issue. .99 GB available and still saw all 4. At this point it was just getting silly so I figured ok I'll download the new BIOS with my laptop, burned it to a CD. Booted the desktop and ran the BIOS flash. Update seemed work fine, honestly the BIOS didn't look much different and I didn't take note of the previous version before I did it so I can only assume it worked. However it did not fix my problem. So I'm still stuck at windows seeing 4 GB of memory with only .99 available.
Anyway... I'll keep trying to get this working and hunting around online, but I'm really hoping you all have some ideas. I'll be trying to call EVGA today for some help too and possibly Corsair. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello,
cannot help with the sound problem.
For memory, I've got almost the same thing but with 4 sticks of 2gb and only 2 detected on an ASUS P7P55D deluxe.
Bios was my issue but I needed to do this (but with pairs of sticks instead of sticks) after the bios update to finally get my 8gb under windows:
Make a clear cmos. Then boot the computer with only one stick of ram in the port .
If everything is fine, turn off and add the other port of the same color for dual channel.
If it does not boot with the 2 sticks in the port of the good color, try to switch ports again. Maybe one stick is dead?

When a game or survey opens a new window in firefox it makes annoying sounds like from the game,mario brothers.Is there a way to stop this?

When firefox opens a new window for games or surveys,it makes annoying sounds that sound like mario brothers,Is there a way to stop this?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== Just today as far as i know may 21st

I have the same problem that started about an hour ago. Firefox started sounding like pac man. I uninstalled and reinstalled 3.6.3 to no avail. I guess I use IE until firefox fixes it.

[partially fixed] Firefox3.6 annoying sound when I click a bookmark.

The annoying sound started happening with the 3.6 update. It happens when I click any bookmark, or menu item. How do I turn this off? I've checked out about:config and set
accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound
liberator.saved.accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound
both to false.
Any help would be appreciated

I guess I will hold out on upgrading until I see this resolved. This is exactly the kind of thing that I want to avoid with Arch. Having unwanted sounds is especially bad when you don't run a sound server and therefore can only have one sound-making program at a time.
BTW, does adding:
gtk-event-enable-sounds=0
to ~/.gtkrc kill the sounds? This will disable GTK sounds globally though (which may be wanted ). Firefox really shouldn't make sounds by default though!
Editing ~/.gtkrc-2.0
and adding the following line to it:
gtk-enable-event-sounds=0
and then restarting ff3.6 DOES turn the sound off, but it will turn off sound for ALL gtk apps.

Massive sound problems in Yosemite

Hi,
I have been experiencing massive sound problems with Yosemite. It basically effects everything except the sound control in the control centre.
What happens:
I can't control the sound volume anymore. Key board sound control does not respond (sound symbol is struck out), sound bar in menu bar in greyed out.
If sound symbols are not greyed out, the sound will stay on the level it currently is. Neither key board nor menu bar icon can change the volume.
When it happens:
When I plug/un-plug headphones.
When I use iTunes. iTunes will even stop playback... the only chance to get iTunes back to normal is restarting the app.
When I use Skype.
Occasionally on any incident... there is no app in particular linked to this.
What I do to get around it:
Restarting the mac... this will help until I sent my Mac to sleep or do any of the things above.
Accessing sound control via the control centre (which is work around, yet very annoying).
Killing sound via terminal does not do anything.
Btw. there is only one thing listed in the sound input/output menu.
This problem is very annoying and occurs several times daily, especially since I work a lot with sound and music. I know this an weary argument, but considering what I paid for this machine ... bla bla bla... I need a fix.
Thanks for any advice.
Andy

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have. It works pretty much like any re-start does. As soon I use headphones or send my Mac to sleep, it goes back to unresponsive sound control.
Edit: Just tried it again and it didn't do anything. Key board sound control is still greyed out...
Any other suggestions?
