Audio causes networking probl

http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl si...28200&from=rss I read that and it made me wonder if perhaps its a two way street. Could networking on Vista cause problems with peoples sound, specificaly the poping and crackling problems that many seem to be plagued by. Just a thought.

I have another side of that throuble: X-Fi card muted/frozed permanently, depending of network activity. Not immediate - maybe after min, maybe after 0 min, but always. More network activity - just faster frozing come. OS: MS Vista 32 bit (with all recommended updates)Card: X-Fi Fataity extreme gamer (with last drivers from Creative site)M/B: ASUS M2R32-MVP with last bios firmware (ATI Crossfire Xfire 3200/SB600 chipset, Marvell 88E800 integrated LAN).

HDMI causes network to crawl..

Hi,
I have a brand new macbook pro i5 model (8GB RAM), everything seems great, and I bought the griffin display port to HDMI cable from the Apple Store.
when I connect it to an HDMI cable and from there to my TOSHIBA LCD the picture and sound are great but something else happens...the network connection (AirPort) slows down a lot... if I happen to also be connected over VPN it will drop the connection after a few minutes.
I initially thought that could not be related since HDMI is not a network media, but numerous attempts and tests confirm this. HDMI causes network problems.
has anyone else experienced this ? What is the solution ?
thanks

This from an apple support article:
"Certain external monitors and LCD displays: Certain displays may emit harmonic interference, especially in the 2.4GHz bandwidth between channels 11 and 14. This interference may be at its worst if you have a portable computer with the lid closed and an external monitor connected to it. Try changing your access point to use 5 Ghz or a lower 2.4 GHz channel."

Using line out audio cause mac pro 1,1 freeze

Hello,
I have upgrade mac pro 1,1 osx from tiger to snow leopard (update to 10.6.8 - clean install))
Why every time I connect my speaker to line out cause system freeze/crash?
But if using internal speaker, there is no problem.
here the logs:

So I have to reboot manual with holding power button, but cannot load osx (blank screen), I try to hold smc reset button, don't work too.
So I unplug and plug the memory raiser, so finally everything back to normal. It can loading osx snow leopard normally.
So what is the problem?
Thank you,
David

It's a hardware fault. I suggest you make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have it tested. It's a free service. The repair won't be free, but if it's something simple, such as a bad memory module, you may be able to fix it yourself.

Stereo audio causes "Video Bitrate too High" error

SOS, Whizzkids.
I try to make a build of a DVD with 1 menu and 3 tracks. , and I get an error message "Video Bitrate Too High." I check the compression setting and they're set to factory default for SD 4by3. (4 and 7 MB).
Get this: I delete one channel of audio from each of the 3 tracks and it compiles perfectly.
I duplicate audio channel 1 by option-dragging to channel 2 for one track, recompile and get the same error.
I give in. Wassup?
Any help gratefully received.

Did you convert your audio to AC-3 (Dolby Digital)?
If not, this is the likely cause of your problem. Run your audio through A.Pack (if using DVDSP 3 or earlier) or Compressor 2 (if using DVDSP 4). The "Dolby 2.0" presets in Compressor 2 are the Dolby Digital, but it's recommended to change the following settings and make a new preset.
Set dialog normalization to -31 and the Compression Preset to "None". They default to -27 and "Film Standard", respectively.

Audio Causing Multicam Crashes - AudioRenderContextConstructor.ccp-110

Hello -
I do a lot of multicam interview edits and am running into a relatively consistent crash inducing scenario, namely, editing a multicam group with any audio inserts applied causes premiere to crash. The official error is related to AudioRenderContextConstructor.ccp-110.
Typically, I'll "master" my audio within the multicam group using 2 inserts on each active channel (usually only 2 audio tracks) - insert 1 EQ, and insert 2, dynamics. Once I'm happy with the mix, I make my camera selections in another timeline using the multicamera editor window. if I leave the inserts active within the multicam group, I'm guaranteed premiere will crash at some point while editing. If I export a mixdown (.wav), and then re-import it back into the multicam group while disabling the inserts, I'm less likely to crash, but still no guarantees. I've also tried doing an external mix in audition, using the send to audition feature, and it's still crashing on a pretty consistent basis.
I emptied my media cache and reset my preferences yesterday morning, but crashes started coming back by the afternon. Same thing today.
Is there anything I can do to avoid this very annoying problem?

I do not have soundflower installed.
I do, however, have screenflow (a screen recording app) installed, if that's important. My only expereince with soundflower was when it came bundled with another screen recording app called iShowuHD, which I have never had installed on this machine.

10.6.5 update causing network issues

Variations of this have already been posted but when I described my particular issues to Apple support the advice was roll back to 10.6.4!
I have 3 Macs, and this only appears to be affecting my MBP 13". Updating to 10.6.5 causes:
- ethernet to stop working; it shows as connected and shows correct IP but there is no acccess to web, offsite ping, or email. Reboots very occasionally get it to work but when changing any aspect of network config (eg switching on wireless or changing location) it fails again. Booting with ethernet cable plugged in usually results in the spinning beachball.
- wireless works reasonably, but any change to config causes loss of network as described above. VPN under wireless becomes very temperamental
- when the network fails, finder also crashes and restarting it only gets it going for less than a minute before it crashes out again.
- waking from sleep also appears to cause the network problems
I can replicate the problems easily; works fine up to 10.6.4 but as soon as a later upgrade is applied then it fails. To clear the problem I only have to reinstall the OS over the existing installation, I don't have to do a clean install. The problems occur on both my home network and my work network
I'm afraid that I can't get any logs from the failure because that would mean me breaking it and having to reinstall. I'm currently waiting for the next upgrade but wonder if anyone else has seen this - any thoughts/pointers welcome!
Kerr

I have the exact same problem on two of my imacs, both have the 10.6.5 update and have been having networking problems since November of last year. I have pinged both IP addresses successfully so they are active.I have also tweaked the proxy settings for our network, trying all combinations, to no avail.
I have at least succeeded in getting one of the macs to connect to email and Safari but the connection in Safari times out after about 10 minutes and then hangs and you have to force quit. Thereafter only a reboot will restore Safari.
The second imac is in a worse state, in that it does not connect up at all even though the network is active and IP has been successfully pinged.

Audio midi network setup wrong interface

I am having difficulty establishing a wireless MIDI connection between my Macbook Pro (10.8) and my iPad.
When I open the Audio MIDI setup application and go to MIDI Studio and click Network, it detects my iPad, and I can supposedly connect to it, but nothing works. I look at the address which says:
host-12:5006
10.211.55.2:5006
10.37.129.2:5006
However, both devices are on a network starting with 128.237....
When I run ipconfig, i see that these two adresses are coming from vnic0 and vnic1 which I traced back to Parallels.app--they are virtual interface devices for running windows, etc.
Basically, I get the feeling that Audio MIDI setup.app isn't getting the right ip addresses to function.
Or am I completely misunderstanding something here?
Thanks

You can disable all the Parallels services temporarily by typing the following in Utilities/Terminal.app. It will ask for the root password.
sudo launchctl stop com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon
To enable it again, enter:
sudo launchctl start com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon
The background services must be running for Parallels to run so remember they are back on when you're done with your audio session.

Edits to video or audio causing computer lock up freeze

I've been away from FCE video editing for a while, back to it with a simple project. Having problem where the whole computer will lock up when I try to move clips or adjust audio clip lengths. It will EVENTUALLY honor my action. One time it took 14 minutes, one time 10 minutes. I can tell because the clock stops, I can't do anything on the computer except move the mouse. I have to either wait or power off the computer.
I went back in the posts to mid-May, didn't see anything referencing this kind of problem. Was there something in a QT or OS X 10.4.? release that is causing this?
I tried deleting preferences, I tried the spotlight fix - making my FCE Documents folder hidden from Spotlight. I'm running 10.4.9 on a 1.8 single G5.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is taking forever!

1.8 single G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I'm using FCE HD 3.0. I'm using QT 7.1.6. I'm using OS X System version 10.4.9 (8P135). Nothing appears under Software Update.
The media is an export from an iPhoto slideshow. It exported as a .mov file, I didn't pick any unusual options.
I discovered that I can move a clip forward 1.0 seconds (29 frames) and it won't freeze. It freezes at the 1.23 second mark - consistently.
I have managed to finish my project by subdividing it into smaller sequences, and making 1.0 second edits in those sequences. And saving after every move.
However, I have a couple more projects coming up, and want to get to the bottom of this issue. I will experiment with some media coming right off my camcorder, and see if I have the same problems. I will report back.
In the meantime, if you have any suggestions ...

Blackberry Desktop Software (Roxio, specifically) causes network problems and blue screens.

I'm posting this note because I just solved my network issue/crash problems. I started experiencing lots of disconnects and page not found on my office computer over the past few days. Only thing I could think of that was different lately was that I installed the Blackberry Desktop Software. Then a huge lightbulb went on over my head. I remembered when it was installing, it said it was installing "Roxio" software and at that moment shivers went down my spine from past experiences.
     Well, I have lots of good "bad" experiences with Roxio CD software which had caused these same problems on two of my home computers. It caused blue screens when used in conjunction with my wireless Netgear card and also standard network card. The same symptoms including very slow internet access, general machine sluggishness, etc. I was trying to chase this down for months til I finally removed the Roxio crapware and ALL problems went away. No more slow machine, no more page not found and no more blue screens on two of my computers. Now, on a completely different Toshiba work laptop and different network adaptor, same problems.
     So, here we are again with Roxio as part of Blackberry Desktop software. I like my new Blackberrry 8830, but I have to pass this along to the Blackberry folks because I KNOW I'M RIGHT about this. I only installed the software so that I could type my contacts into Outlook and then download to my Blackberry. So, after realizing the common symptoms and after having completed my download (which worked great by the way), I removed the Blackberry Desktop Software and I'm back to speedy everything, no more pages not found, no more putty disconnects, and no more blue screens.
     I hope someone gets good use of this post because this drove me crazy the first time around.
-- Jeff

We had the same problem.
We did extensive troubleshooting, and found the problem was effecting our new HP Windows XP .Laptops.
We did not have any trouble with the Older Dell Latitude we have.
We found the BSOD still happened after removing the Black Berry Desktop Manager Software.
We traced it to a memroy / resource leak in the USB subsystem.
The workaround we found is to go into the Device manager, and remove all the drivers from the USB section.
** Disclaimer : This works for us, but may make your computer unusable. Backup your data to external storage.
               Back up your computer
               Start -> control Panel -> system ->Hardware tab -> Device manager.
                Expand "Universal Serial Bus Controller" at bottom of list.
                Right click on each Item, and select "uninstall"
                Don't reboot after each one.
                * Remove ALL the entries under Universal Serial Bus Controllers *
                Repeat until all the entries under "Universe Serial Bus Controller" are removed
                (there may be one that sticks, thats ok. so long as it has been uninstalled.
            Reboot.
            The OS will rebuild the USB stack and drivers to default.
This has worked for us so far.
We are not sure if this wont break something else.

Scrubbing Audio causes AE to beachball

       RAM/CPU: 3GB
As the title says, scrubbing any audio inside of After Effects causes the program to beachball, pegging processor use at 100.9% and the program gets marked as not responding. By scrubbing audio, I mean holding down the command key while dragging through the timeline to preview the video with the audio for timing cuts and hits. This is happening with projects that only contain an image sequence and a sound file, projects with 3d camera moves and multiple layers... pretty much if I have to bring a sound file in to AE, I know it will crash when I need to check the audio.
I have tried opening a fresh project with only an audio file (a new project for each a wav, a mp3, and an m4a) and attempting to scrub through the timeline causes AE to freeze.
I am beyond frustrated at this point, as quick projects have turned in to days of work. Any ideas on how to revert AE back to a usable product are greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the delay in response, I was on vacation and have just gotten caught up enough to return to this issue.
I had the most recent Wacom drivers when reporting the issue. There was a new version released today and I have updated to that. Updating the wacom driver did not resolve the issue.
OpenGL is disabled. The issue persists with OpenGL enabled.
I disabled "hardware accelerate panels" and I am able to now scrub through a single audio track of any format on the second try.
I attempt to scrub through a track and my machine beach balls for a minute
I regain control of the program and am able to scrub through a single audio file
When I get to a second audio file in the timeline my machine beachballs and After Effects stops responding just like before
Here is the most recent crash log - http://pastebin.com/cxBujE9F
This happens when switching from a wav to a wav, form a wav to an aif, wav to mp3, mp3 to wav, etc. It will freeze for a moment on the first file and completely hang on the second file.
As for audio preferences

FaceTime audio causes phone to restart?

My phone has restarted during the last two FaceTime audio calls I've made. Both happened at about the 20-30 mark, and had a weird "frozen" screen look like if a tv isn't tuned properly to an OTA broadcast signal for a few moments before hard resetting to the white screen and black apple logo. Both calls were over wifi at a hotel.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Is it a known issue? I haven't been able to find any other discussions on this but two times in a row can't be coincidence.

Sounds like there are random restarts being caused by the latest iOS, as it happened to me today while listening to a podcast and using an app.
It may have something to do with the audio because I haven't had this happen when audio wasn't being used.

Software updates cause network system prefs pane lockup

Some problems today after Software Updates on eMac G4 running Tiger 10.4.11. The recent updates have been the all the latest IWork and iLife app updates, including QT 7.6, iTunes 8.2.1 and Security Update 2009-004.
Whenever I try to get into the Network screen of system preferences I keep getting a drop down box that says "your network settings have been changed by another application." I have to click on okay and the box just keeps dropping down. I can't get into change the settings and every time I click on okay this message shows up in the console.log -
WirelessAttach: getInterfaceWithName failed
The airport card is installed but software is always turned off because I don't use WiFi. I noticed the same message when I turned on the Firewall for all network options including checking the boxes for the advanced UDF blocking, system logging and stealth options since none of them slowed my computer down on kept me from doing anything I normally do on the Internet.
I've been using software update over the last few days to get the latest PPC updates on Mac 10.4.11 and something in them could be causing the problem. I avoided updating for months because everything was working well and the latest updates are primed for Intel machines running Leopard.
This is the first time I've updated any Mac and started having problems like I used to have on PCs when I made changes. Should have gone with my gut feeling and stayed with the older PPC stable software on the older machine. Unless I can figure out what is causing the problem, I'm just going to uninstall what I can and re-install my old PPC stable versions. Something in the mix is causing the problem.

To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
Try this cure for Security update...

945 PL Audio and Network intermittent problems...

Hello,
Hopefully someone can help me here. I recently built a comp for a friend with a 945PL Mobo and a dual-core 2.66 Ghz processor. Everything is fine, except that the audio sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. This includes when I disable the onboard audio and switch to a 3rd party card. Also, I have hooked the comp up to my network in order to update windows, and everything worked fine, except for the fact that with each restart, I had to unplug the network cable and plug it back in.
I have reinstalled both the audio drivers and the drivers for the network card, as well as disabling/uninstalling the components and then reinstalling them.
Currently, the audio is working again(had ONE instance where it wasn't working, and I went to log out, and it started working again...). Usually, it will work for a minute or two, and then stop, with NO errors.
Unfortunately, the network card just keeps trying to establish a connection, so I can't get the comp online to update anything.
I have also tried flashing the BIOS, except that I can't get it to work for some reason. I followed the instructions provided here, but the BIOS utility doesn't seem to want to run. Maybe I'm missing something.
If anyone has ANY idea what might be going on, it would be GREATLY appreciated!!
This is driving me nuts, and also making me look like a moron to the friend I built the computer for.
Thanks!!
Mike Wells

"What's your full system build? Please list out."
Sorry for the slow reply, I've been seriously busy...
System:
945 PL Mobo
2.66 Ghz Dual Core P4 Processor
1 Gb Crucial DRAM
Radeon X550 PCI Express Video Card with 256 Mb RAM
Maxtor 250 Gb SATA HDD
Sony DVD-ROM
Pioneer DVD Burner
Cooler Master Case
Thermaltake Typhoon cooler
Audio and Ethernet are both built in.
I have updated the audio, the ethernet and the INTEL drivers, still no luck. The network card continues to try and get on the network(Funny thing, I can access my router, but even if I hook straight up to the cable modem, it never accquires an address.). The audio worked MOST of the weekend, but it still stopped working on two occasions. I left in on for hours at a time, I restarted a million times, I even played full CD's to see if there was any pattern to the audio issue, nothing seemed to show up, except that it doesn't go out while playing something...
Hope this helps.
Does anyone think that this could be a Windows issue, even though putting in another souond card didn't help? I haven't installed so much software at this point that a re-install would be too much of a pain in the butt...
Once again, thanks for helping.

Extracted audio caused distortion in video timing

i need help!
i am making a music video for class.
from the edit menu i chose select all and then extracted audio, so that I could go in individually to each clip and delete the audio i did not need. when i tried to do a test delete and played the clip back the audio was gone like i wanted, but the song and the video were totally out of sync and my computer froze up and just played a bleep of sound here and showed a random clip there.
it took forever to unfreeze. it is still out of sync even after restarting my computer. the audio is still extracted from all the clips but the video and audio are still totally out of sync. I'm thinking if I could just unextract all the audio or revert it back to the original...that would solve the problem, but it will not let me do so?
some of the audio files are still available in my trash including audio for the whole video.
any suggestions?

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
'Extracting' audio just copies it and puts it in an audio track underneath the video, and then silences the original sound within the video clip. So it does two jobs, instead of just silencing the audio.
To silence audio within a clip, just click on the little clock, at lower left, to show the full Timeline view, and then in the Menu at the top of the screen use 'View' and 'Show Clip Volume Levels'. You can then select a clip, and click on the little loudspeaker icon, alongside the volume level "Clip: 100%".
Your audio going out of sync sounds more like iMovie 4 rather than iMovie5/HD. But if your hard disc is close to being full on the iBook, that can cause problems for iMovie.
To fix things, you could try the following:
(1) As your audio should now be in separate audio clips beneath the video, you should be able to click on and then slide ('drag') your audio clips to line them up with the appropriate video, then use Apple+'L' to Lock the audio to the relevant video.
(2) As all the original audio remains within the video clips, but it's just had its volume reduced to zero during the 'Extraction', you could select the video clips, and return their volume up to 100% with that little volume slider at the bottom of the screen. When you've done that, UN-TICK (un-check) the little boxes at the extreme right which switches on or off the sound from the audio track(s), so that only the video track is ticked, and try playing the video: all the audio should now be back. If that plays OK, you can then just delete all the separate audio in the track(s) beneath, then Save your project. Then re-tick (check) the audio track boxes again, so that they're not disabled.
The original audio should now be restored, and you can do what you like with it. But it's always better to just reduce to zero any sound you don't want, rather than duplicating it - by 'Extracting' - and then just silencing the original ..and possibly the duplicate. That doubles the work which your Mac has to do during playback ..as it has to keep looking for the separate audio instructions, in its master project file, as well as playing back the video.
So (a) make sure that you've LOTS of spare space on your iBook, and (b) don't strain it too much by giving it too much to do, and (c) things may go smoother if you keep your video projects on a separate, fast (5400rpm or faster) FireWire hard disc (formatted as 'Mac OS Extended' or 'HFS+') plugged in to the iBook, rather than on the iBook's internal disc, and (d) make sure that you have no other programs running when you're editing with iMovie ..as iMovie needs as much of the Mac's attention as possible, and may be sluggish on a slow Mac if there are other programs running.
Hope this helps..

Safari 2.0.1 caused network errors

After updating to the latest version of Safari yesterday, my Mac can no longer access the internet at all - it worked fine up to the point where I downloaded and installed the latest version, but after I restarted no sites load at all from anywhere, and no other internet connections work either (Firefox, Dashboard, Mail etc. etc., none work after the update).
I use an ADSLnation X-Modem plugged into an AEBS, and there's no problem with either of those. The X-Modem diagnostics indicate that the connection to the ISP is working normally as it was before the update, and the AEBS has had no problems either. I haven't got the latest Airport 4.2 update installed on my AEBS, as it caused some problems with my laptop when I had 10.3.9 installed.
However, Network Diagnostics in 10.4.2 claims the ISP cannot be found, despite the ADSL modem diagnostics showing that the connection is working fine. I've tried restarting the X-modem, AEBS and my PB G4, but to no avail. And I would hate having to reinstall Tiger to get it to work again.
I would appreciate any tips or advice!

I had a similar problem the other day after upgrading QT to the Pro version. I tried to let the Network Diagnostics Assistant help me and that caused the real problem - after trying that I couldn't connect to anything. I booted into another partition and everything worked fine, but my main partition wouldn't work even after using Disk Utility and Disk Warrior. So I reset all my network settings according to my ISP's instructions and everything worked after that. I can't explain why I had the problem or why resetting everything solved it, but you might want to try setting up a new location and inputting all your network settings into that location.
Good luck.
