Audio Buzzes and Screams

This started happening about 2 weeks ago.. perhaps after an update, but not sure.. I can be listening to internet radio or watching a video and the audio will "scream" with a weird electonic buzz, then it will cut in and out. It will also happen when I change between browser tabs (and not restricted to one browser.. it happens with opera and FF).
It is not limited to when I am "using" my laptop..if im just letting it play audio, it will happen.. I see this is an ongoing issue with these laptops... thanks HP....

Audio buzz and video cut-out caused by volume shadow service errors during updates and other services that create shadow copies

I have this issue and see throughout the Internet that my problem is shared by large numbers of other Windows 7 users, and a few Windows 8 users.
I also see that Microsoft has not addressed the issue.
I've been troubleshooting the problem for 13 months and across 3 separate hard drives on 2 separate computers, with the help of tech escalation from both Carbonite and Dell (whom I wanted to eliminate as causes, and who have been kind enough to assist even
after being eliminated as causes because they evidently care about customer service).
Over 13 months we have run system diagnostics, reinstalls and repairs to no avail. We have been able to reproduce the event in the absence of every attached device, every installed program, every subscribed service, and every hardware type and configuration.
We have visited chat rooms showing that this is a widespread problem (e.g., http://superuser.com/questions/630033/audio-video-glitch-when-shadow-copy-service-starts), and that even professional server administrators simply consign themselves to VSS being "the
bane of backup software" (http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/229743-problem-with-vss-writer-system-writer-timed-out).
Yet regardless of the computer or the configuration, the problem persists. It causes characteristic and alarming disk write error and memory spikes on the Resource Monitor that can be traced to huge numbers on the System 4 and VSSVC.exe processes, occurring
every time the Volume Shadow Copy Service and Application Experience create a restore point during an automatic update of Adobe, antivirus, etc.; and one can even provoke an event simply by manually creating a restore point, which has the bonus of triggering
an 8220 notice that the Volume Shadow Service has run out of time while deleting files. And the only advice I've seen from MS is that this is a "normal condition."
It is not normal to be unable to enjoy audio and video. And it is certainly not normal for one's PC to continually degrade with every update until it becomes unable to update and must be replaced.
I am on my 3rd computer with this problem (different type and configuration each time), and Dell has offered me an upgrade to Windows 8 in the hopes that the problem will not recur there. But I see from Microsoft's tech chat that Windows 8 users are reporting
the problem as well (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-pictures/after-upgrading-to-windows-8-pro-there-is-an/813432c2-14f1-463f-bba3-ad322ceb6e00).
Please, please post a real answer to this problem. Thank you.

Hi,
Above all I understand the frustration as a same issue persists for a very long time.
At first I'm thinking if it is directly related to the application CrashPlan some customers mentioned in one of the threads you provided. However I then noticed that you said it could be also reproduced by creating a System Restore point.
Currently I cannot find a Windows 7 system so I used a Windows 8.1 laptop (also Dell) for testing.
I tried to play an online video and also a local video with creating a restore point in the middle. However I failed to reproduce the same behavior.
The following screenshot was captured in second test (play a local video):
I cannot confirm if it is because we have a large physical memory (8GB), or Windows 8.1 resolved this issue. From the screenshot, memory is not spiked (actually it is almost not changed).
So in current situation you can test to enlarge the size of physical memory (and virtual memory) for test if available. And as Dell provided a Windows 8 system, you can try it before and after installing Windows 8.1.
As a support engineer I also hope to help fix the issue or at least find out the cause. Later I will try to find a Windows 7 system for testing as well.
In addition, please understand that as the issue occurs mostly in Windows 7, though it seems related to VSS, it is still a Windows client system issue. So you can post the question to Windows 7 forum for further information. Here is the link:

Buzzing and Popping audio after exporting from Premiere cs 5.5

When I export a video out of Premiere Pro cs5.5, the audio has non stop buzzing and popping. I have exported hundred of videos in the past (I am a videographer) and never had this problem. I usually export high quality mov files with h.264 codecs. I have not switched computers or set ups. I run a Mac 3.4 GHz intel Core i7, with an AMD radeon HD, and I save all my files through a 6 terra lacie external hard drive--I don't think power is the problem. I tried exporting at lower quality, but that didn't solve the problem. I have now tried 4 times... can anyone PLEASE HELP?! I need to get this video to a client...

I suppose you could do it that way, but if you export to soundtrack from FCP's sequence, it "round trips"... i.e. as you change things in Soundtrack, FCP get's updated with the changes.

Audio commonly buzzes and stutters on my Toshiba Satellite L855-S5405

I just upgraded to windows 10 and the audio stutters and buzzes despite using little to no softwares in the background. I disabled the audio enhancements yet I still get stutters and buzzes. Summary

As you can see HERE, your computer is not supported by Toshiba for Windows 10. If you want to stay with Windows 10, you might try going to Realtek's site and see if you can get an audio driver from them that works on Windows 10.

Speaker buzz and interference in Premiere Pro and Audition CS5.5

Several months ago I upgraded to an Asus G10AC PC for my editing. When I first started using the Asus I was using a basic 5.1 computer speaker system plugged in using the 3.5mm headphone jack for sound. I noticed right away that when I opened Premiere Pro or Audition I would hear some interference similar to when you put a cell phone too close to a wireless transmitter (buzzing and beeps). I assume it is picking up something from the hard drive(s) or MoBo. The noises didn't show up in my exported files so I lived with it.
Recently I added a Behringer Q802USB mixer and some PreSonus monitors for more accurate audio editing. So now all of my audio is more defined and easier to hear accurately. The beeps and buzzing don't seem to be an issue but what I hear now is a constant high pitch sound from both speakers but more from the left than the right.
But what is strange is that the high pitch sound is only there when either of the 2 Adobe windows (Pp or Au) are active. I can use windows explorer, QuickTime and windows movie maker to play audio and video files and they are clean. As soon as I click away from the Adobe windows the high pitch sound disappears. I can even RAM preview clips in After Effects and the sound is clean. When I plug in headphones to the PC I constantly hear the buzzes and beeps no matter what is open, but the high pitch sound isn't there or it is at least not as noticeable. I also tried disconnecting the USB cable from the mixer and reconnected using a 1/8" male from the headphone that splits the signal out to 2 1/4" male outputs to connect to an input on the mixer. Same noise issue all around so from what I can tell the issue isn't the USB connection or the mixer.
To double check that it wasn't a mixer issue I connected it to my Sager laptop using the USB and everything is crystal clear no matter what I play the audio on (Pp, Au, windows explorer, YouTube, QT, etc). This laptop is usually connected to the same mixer but using one of the headphone cables that splits to the 2 1/4" males.
This sounds like an issue with my PC but I wanted to check here since the issue only occurs when Pp or Au are open. Is there something that these 2 programs gain access to that the other sound producing programs do not? And to clarify, it isn't only when playing audio in these 2 programs. The noise begins as either program begins loading and is constant until I click to a different window. Sometime I actually have to close out of Pp to get it to stop. Could it have something to do with these 2 programs having access to the microphone function? And I am not tech savvy enough to understand if the 2 Adobe programs use the same drivers as the other programs that do not have the sound issue.
I briefly attempted trouble shooting the audio drivers but the computer says that I my driver is up to date. I tried manually replacing it and switching to ASIO but couldn't get it to accept it so I went back to the original driver and setting.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Cole

Thanks for the fast response Richard.
I thought that too but what is causing it to only happen when engaging these 2 programs? It seems if it was a grounding problem it would be universal for all programs that produce sound. It is only when these 2 programs begin loading and while they are selected.
Do you have any theory about what component they are accessing that brings this interference into play? At first I figured it must be sound card related but wouldn't the other programs that produce sound also call upon the same hardware and drivers when playing audio?

Loud buzz and a red light! Hot, too.

My AE started sending a loud buzz through its audio output. When I unplugged the cable, there was a red light shining from the connector hole. The darn thing was pretty hot, too, although I can't really say it was warmer than usual. Unplugging it for a while causes it to work again (the red light goes away).
Is it frying itself to death?
Any ideas?

The warmth of the Airport Express, and the "red light shining from the connector hole" which is the optical digital output, are not things I would be overly concerned about. The "loud buzz" is of course not normal. If this "loud buzz" becomes a recurring problem (and you eliminate a faulty cable or sound system as a source of the buzz) and your Airport Express is still under warranty, I would recommend you get it replaced.

Audio Buzzing, External Speakers -- but not in Windows?

Hi,
I have a black Macbook with Leopard and I'm dual-booting Windows (the Windows 7 beta currently). I've had a strange audio problem recently, and though I've seen this problem elsewhere I've not found a solution that works.
When externally-powered speakers are plugged in to the audio jack and no output is present for a while, the speakers begin buzzing faintly and then the volume of the buzzing increases until audio output is produced (the "beep" of changing the volume, for example). At which point there is a loud popping noise and then no more buzzing.
Tha strange thing, though, is that this only appears to happen when I am in Leopard. When in Windows 7, I cannot reproduce it. There are no abnormal buzzing sounds whatsoever when in Windows, but the situation described above happens in Leopard whenever the speakers are plugged in to the Macbook's audio jack.
Any advice/help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I know I may in the wrong section (I am using Mac Mini), but that's EXACTLY what I am "experiencing" with my new Mini.
I did read many many thread in this forum about this problem, the most suitable adjective for the noise is "R2D2" voice and "pop" sound.
In my case, "R2D2" voice comes randomly and no clue for the source of it. Though, I guess it may be related to the disk's activity...(definitely no related to infrared as I have already disabled it).
For the "pop" sound, it comes regularly in every two minutes, no matter what I am doing. It "pop" me when I am listening music in iTunes, watching videos in YouTube or just websurfing without making any sound.
I tried to unplug my Altec Lansing and plug my in-ear headphone (quite sensitive and great in bass), the problem is GONE!!
So my problem only happens when my Mini is connecting my Altec Lansing sub-woofer.
It may be just a little problem for many other users, but it's been driving me nuts!!!!

Buzzing and skipping when removing or inserting headphone jack

While listening to audio through iTunes, switching between the internal speakers or headphones via removing or inserting a headphone jack, often results in a loud buzzing noise. Pausing iTunes eliminates the sound, but it sometimes comes back when I press play once again. It also sometimes results in the audio skipping, and the entire computer freezing, while the sudio skips. What the **** is going on here? Do I need a new sound card?

Try resetting PRAM and SMC.

Buzzing and Echo Sound After Recording

Hello,
I am hearing a buzzing and echo sound in the background after I record a project on Captivate 4. I am using a USB DYNEX Microphone that is connected to the Laptop. Adjusted the Volumne in Captivate but does not elemintate the background noise. Any suggestions???
Thanks

Have you looked for environmental noises, both electrical and audible?
Here are some possible culprits for induced electrical "buzz" or "hum." These "noises" are actually created by electrical interference in the recording equipment, and don't become apparent until playback:
Fluorescent strip lighting.
AC power cords near the microphone cable.
Mic cable near CRT displays.
Other electronic devices where you are recording.
If you're using a laptop, I find I have better luck running on battery power when recording, though I'm not clear if this is because of the power source, or because power-save features kick in that make the machine quieter.
Another possibility is real audio noise that you mentally tune out when you're in the room, but hear when you listen to playback. Some ones I've run into:
Ventilation noise. Particularly if you're recording in a building where you work all the time, you don't hear the ventilation system unless you really stop to listen for it.
Small electronic devices -- fans, projectors, etc. that might be in the room.
Also, play around with microphone position relative to your mouth; it's possible that the source of the racket is your own breath!!
Good luck!!

Buzz and noise on speakers

Hi. I have a X505-860 and I'm thinking outstanding. But I'm having two problem with my audio. The first is that the speakers make a lot of buzz and noises like TV, and old speakers. The another problem is that the sound is too low with the speakers. When I put the headphone is perfect the sound, but external speakers sucks. Is there some way do fix that? Is a problem of equalization? Or I have to call Toshiba?
Dyego

This can happen if the software is "allowing"
more power to be accessed by the USB ports..
This isn't quite accurate. USB devices can ask for power, up to 2.5 watts (500 ma @ 5 volts), from a USB port. Software can query the device for its power requirements & shut down the power to it (& warn you it is doing so) if it exceeds that limit. However, the hardware in Macs themselves (& essentially all other computers) also have a number of power limiting circuits, independent of the OS software, that make it just about impossible for the software to "allow" more power than this to be drawn from the port. (If they didn't, they would not meet most of the world's safety codes.)
Moreover, if your USB speakers (or any other USB device) requires more than 2.5 watts, it would never have been bus powered under any version of the OS, assuming it meets USB standards (IOW, displays an official USB logo & is not itself defective).
If the technician is telling you something different, it might be a good idea to find a more qualified one, or at least get a second opinion.

Beats Audio Software and On Screen Volume and Brightness Icons Not Showing

Hi,
I have a HP Envy 6 Ultrabook 6-1010ea, It had to have a new hard drive due to hardware failure and now I have it back I can't find the beats audio symbol and the associated software, also the on screen displays of the volume control and broightness icons don't appear anymore, when I download certain drivers to solve the issues each one doesn't see, to work with the other, I can get sound back on the internet OR the icons back.
If you could help I'd be very greatful, thanks.

Hi:
You should be able to use this audio driver for the Beats audio.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-107829-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
This software should restore the on screen display of the brightness and audio levels.

Hi i upgrade from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am getting no sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever

Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.

Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.

Sample rate off the audio input and out devices do not match - what to do?

This is fundamental, I know, but nevertheless I can't find my way around it. I get this error message when trying to recor:
Sample rate off the audio input and out devices do not match
and am asked to do this:
Use the appropriate operating system or audio device control panel to adjust the sample rates of the input and output devices to use the same settingt.
I have defined the sample rate to 44.1/16 bit in accordance with my inbuild soundcardt.
I am trying to record from LineIn.
When running on a M-Audio sound card I don't face any problems.
HP 8560W, sound card IDT/High definition audio Codec
Any suggestions?

You're sure you have set BOTH the input and output settings to 44.1 16 bit?
Which version of Windows are you running? There are a number of posts on this forum about how to fully access both the Windows Mixer and the Mixer for your soundcard. Especially, you need to ensure that all "Windows Sounds" are turned OFF.

Hi gusto,
I checked the above mentioned KB and the fix that worked for you is in the KB: https://help-internal.adobe.com/content/help/en/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30 -days.html
Try running the patch again and see if that helps.

How can I use a different driver for audio input and output?

I did a search of course, and came up with something about an aggregate. I have no idea what this is, how to do it, or if it would even work for me.
What I am trying to do is:
1) Record into Logic Express using my Tascam US-122.
2) Have playback come out of my computer sound system, not the Tascam.
If I go over to the Audio setup window, I can only record when the driver is set to Tascam US-122. Likewise, I can only listen to sound when my Built-In Audio is selected. It gets rather annoying going between the two.
So, would this aggregate thing solve my problem? If so, how do I do it? Thanks for any help!
-allen

Yes it should do what you want.
Go to "Audio Midi Setup", and go to the Audio menu and click "Open Aggregate Device Editor". The interface is pretty simple but if you do get stuck, just use the help function in Audio Midi Setup, as it has a step by step guide.
Then when you return to logic, go to the Preferences>Audio>Drivers section and select Aggregate Device as the new driver rather than either the built in sound or the tascam. Then the inputs and outputs will apply to BOTH devices.
