Another loss of sound problem?

Hi all.
When I burn a dvd from iDVD '08, the last clips looses its audio in its entirety. The audio appears fine when I preview in iDVD, but disappears when I create a disc image or burn straight to DVD. I am burning at slowest speed (1x) and in Professional quality to Verbatim -R DVDs.
I am importing a 1hr 8min sequence, made up of 6 clips from FCE 4.0.1. I have converted the files using MPEG Streamclip to be in DV format, uncompressed audio at 48Khz. All the clips are the same and all work fine apart from the last one. The exported QT file plays fine. I am exporting in incompressed mode, not self-contained with chapter markers. I have allowed a few seconds either side of each chapter marker.
If I export just the 'offending' clip on its own from FCE to iDVD and create a disk image, the sound works fine. It's only when it's part of the original sequence. I have tried creating a new sequence and exporting this. Don't know whether it makes any difference, but the 'offending clip' starts at point 00:58:16:17 and ends at 01:07:44:21
I also tried inserting a chapter market after the 'offending clip' but that didn't help either.
I've run out of ideas - I have over 30Gb free on my hard drive and am burning disk images to it from the .mov files and dvd proj files, all saved on the hard drive.
Any ideas?

How many DVD players have you tried? I would also be curious if you skip to the offending chapter, let it play for a few seconds and then rewind and start to play, do you get your audio?
Finally, I wouldn't burn at 1x. The mentality of burning at a slower speed is a good one but with todays media and burners, I would venture that 1x is actually creating problems. While at one point I always advocated the slowest burn speed, I have amended this to say you should choose a middle of the road speed for your burner/media combination. IE, if your choices are 1x, 2x, or 4x, choose 2x; if 2x, 4x, 8x, choose 4x. THe reasoning behind this isn't that data changes as burn speeds increase/decrease, it's the integrity of the data being burned and the ability for other players to read said data. If your media has a higher burn rate speed and you force a slower burn rate, you may still get more errors (all burns have errors, all players have error correction) than had you burned at a middle of the road speed.

  • Loss of sound during calls following updating iphone 4 with IOS5

    I've recently updated my Iphone 4 with the IOS5 update.  Since then I've had terrible problems with loss of sound on phonecalls.  I can hear others but they cant hear me  - loss of sound is patchy during a call.  I've cleaned mic with a soft brush and rebooted but problem still exists.  Any ideas before I restore factory settings/ and or take back to the shop?

    I have a Iphone 4 and when i try to make calls, i cannot hear anything unless i put it on speaker, and sometimes if i try to turn the call volume up during a call without the speaker it almost sounds like the speaker is blown out. I just bought this phone online 2 days ago so i don't understand how that could happen.
    Is anyone having this problem? I'm am totally lost with what to do other than return the phone in and see if i can get another one?
    Please help!!!!!

  • Crackling & loss of sound

    2 weeks ago (just as my ipod went out of warranty) it developed crackling distortion and loss of sound. Initially thinking this was a headphone problem I tried different headphones but to no avail. Although I have had the ipod mini for 12 months I have only been regularly using it in the last 3 months. I calculate that I have had about 100 listening hours (a poor return on investment!) As I see that other people have also experienced this problem it suggests a design fault! What do I do now?

    I have the same problem! It is intermittent, but extremely annoying. I first noticed it while using a Belkin adapter in my car... was convinced it was the adapter, tried another and got the same results. It now does the cracking when using the clickwheel as well as when connecting anything to the bottom of the unit. I can only use the iPod now if I hold it very carefully.. even then it sometimes does this and drops the signal. My unit is older, almost a year... but I am very disappointed, after blathering on to everyone about how great my iPod mini was for so long. Of course I am long out of warranty. Anyone have any suggestions?

  • Loss Of Sound Sync - FC7

    Hi Gang
    Working with FC7 in Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and an older Mac Pro.
    Exported a 70 minute clip and noticed loss of Sound Sync, (about mid way thru in a QT File). The clip is a mixture of assorted clips.
    Divided the 70 minute clip into 3 separate exported clips which produced proper 'Synced Sound' in each clip.
    This problem used to occasionally happen in FC6  - Does anyone know a fix or work-around?
    Thank You
    Mike

  • Loss of Sound HP Pavillion Entertainment Laptop DV6820ea

    Hi,
    Operating System:  Windows Vista
    Sound Driver :         Conextant High Definition Smart Audio 221 (SPDIF INTERFACE)
    Other Programmes: I Tunes
    Problem :     Sudden loss of sound, I have tried the obvious such as is the touch sensitive mute switched off and the volumes switched on . I did briefly have my i-touch connected via USB but don't remember doing anything other than connecting and disconnecting the USB cable. Then there was no sound. I have also tried via control panel testing the devices and the speaker test works correctly but other than this I am unable to get any sound from the laptop. I did find, although I can't remember where, next to a  I-tunes file name  yellow triangles but was unabe to delete. This will probably be a very obvious and simple solution! but I would greatly appreciate any help!    many thanks  

    This often occurs when you plug in an HDMI device, on my machine.  Try manually setting the playback device:
    Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar.
    Select Playback Devices.
    Right-click the audio device you want (i.e. Speakers)
    Select Set as default device.
    If this does not work, try logging in with an account that has administrative access.  I discovered the wireless network can not be enabled by a non-administrative account, when it is disabled while logged in as an administrator.  You have to go back to the admin account, enable wireless, and then log back to the other account.
    Avoid updating your driver, unless the device no longer functions.

  • Loss of sound (Hard-reset and restore does not work)

    Hi,
    I loss all sounds on my iPad 2 (currently on iOS 7.04). This is the 2nd time I have had this issue (had it with an earlier iPad) and had to replace the previous one (out of warranty period).  Very frustrating as it is about the same time period after purchase.  Last time, it seemed like a repeated fault with the iPad and I cannot believe I have the same issue again on a different product.  It is an expensive way of having to re-buy every couple of years for no other reason.
    It did not happen immediately after an update i.e. it does not appear to be "update" or iOS version-related. 
    Anyone got any advice please?  The facts are as follows (and what I have tried).
    When it happened?
    I was in iMovie editing a movie when all sound went from the speaker.  It continued to work with earphones plugged in, but this is now intermittent.  I have no sound on the speaker at all except for when I click sounds on the menu and change the level of ringer alert (which works on the speakers).  This seems to tell me that it is a software problem.  I have no sound on any applications or internet video or music from iTunes.  I cannot survive on the earphones as they only work for a period of time and then they fail (until I take the jack out again when it works again for a period of time before the headphones fail again).
    What have I tried?
    a) Numerous hard resets
    b) changing the side switch's position
    c) changing in general settings the side switch settings from lock rotation to mute and back again (repeatedly and in reverse to see if it makes any difference)
    d) resetting all settings - this made no difference
    e) erase all content and settings - interestingly at the stage when it asked me if I wanted to restore from an iCloud account, it was making sounds (the keyboard clicks - which don't make a sound irrespective of the click setting currently) i.e. appeared to have resolved the issue and as soon as I restored my iCloud back-up, the sound went again.
    I would be grateful for any suggestions.  This post also includes a recommendation to Apple on improving its product (relating to iCloud backups) as the ultimate solution should not be paying for a replacement for a software issue (to avoid losing all my data permanently).
    My musings are that:
    a) it is definitively a software issue (on account that the speakers work in certain situations only)
    b) it appears to be that the software is corrupted in my iCloud back up
    c) it is an issue that happens regularly and is an avoidable issue/cost to Apple's customers that needs to receive higher priority in being addressed as it is built in redundancy for a significant proportion of customers.  At the very least, iCloud backups should be capable of being restored in part - is there any way this could be done so we don't lose all of our notes, media etc if the final advice is to "start again".  How can it be right to lose all content because of an Apple system software issue?  I am pre-guessing this will be the final advice (if I don't want to pay for a replacement iPad)?
    Please help me and all those others with the same avoidable software problem.
    Thank you,
    Peter

    This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple.
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

    Hi Nick,
    Sorry for the long delay I only just noticed your post. Easily done if you post in the middle of another thread.
    To diagnose your sound problem the best approach is to systematically check (and isolate) each possible problem area until the culprit is found. For sound problems follow the sequence :-
    1. Check Hardware. If you have a manual control check that it is turned fully on (this may be a wheel or knob somewhere on your notebook). There is no point carrying on if this is turned down/off.
    2. Check Software. This is where the fun begins.
    2.1 Check the sound properties (available from Control Panel) and make sure that the MUTE box is not ticked.
    2.2 Check the individual volume levels shown on the sound properties box. Set them all to maximum.
    2.3 Select Device Manager (from Control Panel) and check the entry for Sound/audio devices. Select your sound device and click the 'troubleshooting' option. Follow the on-screen checks.
    2.4 If you still have no sound deinstall the sound device (from ADD/REMOVE hardware) and reboot. The system should detect the sound device and re-install it)
    2.5 Finally download and reinstall the correct device drivers for your sound devive from the Toshiba web-site.
    2.6 If you still have no sound after all of the above then I would recommend a complete re-install of your system from the Toshiba Recovery CDs. and if that does not correct the problem then you will need to take it to a Service Agent for them to sort it out.

  • OSMF  Flex 4 VideoPlayer sound problem

    Hi,
    It seems that there is a problem with sound in the Spark VideoPlayer in video that's been encoded in H.264.
    If I set 'autoPlay' to 'true' or start playing from the very beginning of the clip, everything works fine.
    But if I set 'autoPlay' to 'false' and start the video not from the beginning, i.e. click somewhere in the seekBar, video is playing, but there is no sound. Once I jump back to the very beginning of the clip the sound appears, and from that point I can play the clip from any section and sound is there.
    Once I reload the video, the story is repeated.
    This happens ONLY with H.264 files and does NOT happen with flv files.
    Also, I don't believe that this problem existed back in the beta version of Flex 4 (previous version of FlashPlayer 10.x.xx.xx), even after the VideoPlayer became OSMF based.
    FTQuest

    Good evening Brian,
    After installing the latest Flash Player from the Adobe labs and switching to the latest nightly build of Flex SDK the sound problem is gone.
    But I've run into another one: I make a simple OSMF player in Flash CS5 and it works fine within the Flash and also when I open the resulting SWF in stand alone Flash Player.
    Yet, when I try to open the swf from within the Flex 4 application, using mx:SWFLoader I get the following error: VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of synthesizer in org.osmf.layout.LayoutMetadata.
    Any advice on that?
    Thanks,
    FTQuest
    P.S. Also, for some reasons setting the 'autoPlay' on MediaPlayer to 'false' doesn't prevent the video from instant playing.

  • [Issue] Sound problems!?

    So, I've been playing Starbound recently. Great little games, needs some work here and there. I've noticed that my sound, MY ENTIRE COMPUTER'S SOUND just suddenly cuts out. I originally had this problem when I only had ALSA. Someone on the IRC chat got me to install Pulse, and that fixed it for a little while, after working my butt off to get Pulse working in the first place.
    Using 'journalctl -fb' I noticed something interesting. Each time the sound cuts out, I get this in the journal:
    Feb 05 04:34:47 AlienArch kernel: perf interrupt took too long (2504 > 2495), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50100
    Searching this tells me that this is a benign error, but it seems to have something to do with my sound cutting out, since it occurs at nearly the same time.
    Rebooting the machine seems to fix it for a little while, but it will either cut out randomly, or cut out a few minutes after opening Starbound...
    I will provide as much logs and details as asked, I just request that you also tell me where I can get said logs, or what commands are needed.

    mrunion wrote:If you don't run Starbound, does the problem go away?
    No, it persists until my machine is restarted. And it does happen on rare occasions when I am NOT playing Starbound.
    EDIT!
    Got that error again. Sound is still working! It seems to only happen with Starbound, both the 32 and 64 bit versions...
    EDIT EDIT!
    So, I have isolated the problem to Starbound. NO LOGS show anything to support the loss of sound!
    EDIT x3!
    GODDAMNIT! It seems FLASH from flash-plugins is ALSO causing my sound to give up!
    EDIT x4!
    MOTHER... It just happened on random. I mean, nothing was running, nothing was using sound. It just happened.

  • Loss of sounds

    Apparently like many Mt. Lion users I am experiencing loss of sounds, like mail arrival and send swoosh and trash emptying, when my computer awakes from sleep. Apple suggested the following fix - library/caches folder - delete folder, then hd/system/library/caches - delete folder contents only, which worked when i did it but problem returned after next reboot/sleep.
    Anyone found a solution for this issue?
    Thank u

    Open /Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup
    Select the Output device
    In the bottom right set the Format at 44.1Hz 16bit and adjust the volume sliders then close.
    In iTunes you can raise the Gain using the Equalizer (sadly the button has now gone from the bottom bar and is a /View item with no Keystroke)

  • Loss of sound in Windows XP in - requiring drivers to be re-loaded

    This is a consistent problem under randem circumstances.
    I suffer a complete loss of sound in Windows XP and the only resolution is to re-install the whole set of Bootcamp drivers or just the REALTEK audio drivers.
    Sometimes after re-installing this still does not work.
    Any experience of this and solutions?

    Hello Ian and welcome to forums.
    You might want to run the application 'Audio MIDI Setup' (/Applications/Utilities) and see if anything there is perhaps a mismatch with your particular audio configuration expectations...

  • Vist Basic & XFI, random loss of sound and World of Warcraft Hardware enabling iss

    Hello.. First off want to say that prior to reinstalling Vista last week, I had no had any issues with my XFI and Vista.. Since the re-install, while running World of Warcraft and Ventrillo, I get random loss of sound. And by that, specifically I mean, the sound shuts off, and I get a constant loud hiss noise that does not stop until a reboot is performed. If I just run WoW and no Ventrillo, I dont get the random problem and the sound runs fine. It is however a highly annoying issue that requires too many reboots in evening. Getting to the point of just trying the onboard sound, which I'd certainly rather not do.
    Additionally there is an option in WoW that allows for Hardware enabling, which is supposed to improve performance. When I check this box and restart the game, the box is still not checked. Not sure if this is a CL problem, but something is wrong for sure! I'm using the latest drivers that are on creativelabs.com for my Vista 32 bit system. And again, didnt have these issues prior to the fresh re-install of Vista. Before that I had stepped up the drivers all the way from Vista. Thanks for any feedback on this.

    Not sure why your sound is cutting out... but as for WoW, it needs ALchemy installed to run with hardware audio enabled under Vista. I dont believe its in the list of titles included with ALchemy just yet, but adding it manually with the default options works just fine. Without doing this I believe the new sound core used in WoW will automatically detect that it cannot do hardware audio and simply uncheck the box whenever you try, where-as before it would work but still give you Software rendered sound (only instead of WoWs audio engine doing it, it was Vistas - not exactly an improvement). Incidentally, this not only improves performance but vastly improves the sound quality - especially when excessive numbers of sounds are being played. (eg Mass AoE effects on larger numbers of mobs, such as two Warlocks Hellfiring along with a Hurricane and Consecration while pulling the Ballroom - 9 mobs per group - near Moroes in Karazhan) Its possible doing this may also correct your cut-out issue, but its possible it wont. Ive been running WoW alongside Vent for months now under Vista w/ALchemy and an X-Fi and never had such a problem, but then I do also run Vent off the onboard audio so I can use a small earpiece and have voices clearly audible through game sound.
