Audio chipmunks - then cuts out completely

I switched to an M-Audio MobilePre USB unit for good sound
quality today. Now when I record narration, the first one or two
frames are fine, then on frame 2 or 3, my voice turns into a
chipmunk. By frame 20 the narration stops completely.
I've changed the latency but it has had no affect.
Please help. I have to record today!
Thanks.

I had the same issue when using the M-Audio unit.
My solution was to set "Sound Scheme" to "none"
For some reason when recording, when there is a system
generated sound (like a click from a web page being loaded) it
messes up the audio.
It worked for me, I hope it works for you.

  • IPad 3 speakers crackling and then cuts out completely

    Please can you help? My ipad 3 loud speaker has started crackling and then completely cutting out. I have tried rebooting,installing updates and cleaning the connector/ docking point but none of these have worked.
    Can you help?
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Pro CC audio pops then cuts out. HELP PLEASE.

    Driving me nuts...
    Read all the forums. Tried reinstalling, deleting .cfs files, changing audio inputs, everything.
    What is happening is that when I play back, the audio will "pop" (like feedback, loud, distorted, sounds like its hurting my speakers) then just not play anything. Levels monitor will be firing away, waveforms are there. Matching back to source monitor does nothing. Totally silent.
    When I quit I hear another pop as the program exits.
    The rest of the computer has sound functions (iTunes, internet, everything)
    Anyone?
    Macbook pro 2011 - 10.8 - 16 gigs of ram - playing off secondary internal SSD drive. 4 tracks of sync sound. Thanks.
    PS - just noticed a little warning triangle at the bottom right of the program that says "Audio Dropout Detected at 1:11.442 in Adobe Player" - no idea what the hell that means.
    PSS - I have a feeling its because of the video. I'm editing RED (4k) - when the video is just on one track its no problem, but as soon as I put it above another clip, then it pops and cuts out.

    I dropped 8K on a new mac pro, thinking, foolishly, to just throw some computing power at it...
    My friends, Adobe just hates macs.
    Both my D700 GPUs are kinda useless to Premiere. nVidia won and I guess Adobe could give two sh*ts about anyone on a new mac. I was hoping to go to premiere after Apple decided to drop FCP. What's amazing, as a commercial editor in NYC, EVERYONE was either on FCP or Avid (much more FCP) so there was lots of business to pick up... but the more I talk to people, and stories like this get shared, the more people are moving over to Avid, even FCPX if you can stomach it. Such a shame because AE, PS and the rest should work so nicely together... they just couldn't make it easy for non nVidia people or mac people.
    I've tried contacting them (I'm even on their customer review panel) but no one seems to be able to patch this up. I've done 2 clean installs on my new mac, because I've gotten to the point that every premiere freezes, its a restart. Unreal. Been editing for 10 years and never had problems like this... even when we started putting Avid on a mac.
    Failed and quite pissed. Not for nothing Adobe, if you're listening, I've got a real mind to use every piece of my social media platform to bring this to your attention - this program has wasted so much of my time (and money, jeebus) that it's almost immoral what's been going on.

  • Internet dropping. Works for a few minutes, sometimes seconds. Then cuts out completely and hangs.

    Since doing a clean install of Mountain Lion on my 2011 iMac. The internet connects on startup, works for a few minutes, then hangs as if it's getting stuck.
    Everything is up to date and I've tried numberous ideas to fix it (Renewing the DHCP, editing the MTU). Nothing works.
    It's still fully connected to the wifi and says there's an internet connection but nothing will load, not just the browsers but also anything else to do with the internet also doesn't work.
    I've seen others with the same issue also.
    Any assistance would be highly appreciated as my iMac is pretty much rendered useless currently.

    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

    Thanks for the instructions Mort and clong but before I update my firmware, I was able to connect to the internet on my computer with the router at last! But there is still a problem. Whenever I try to connect my PS3 to it, it would stop working for both my PC and the PS3.

  • After purchasing an album 4 of the songs play for a few seconds then cut out

    i purchased 2 albums off of iTunes and when i went to play the one album 4 of the songs play for a few seconds then cut out.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    Disconnect the iPhone from your computer.
    Not reset it.
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Restart your computer.
    Connect the iPhone. Try syncing.

  • Sustained use of Cinema display audio results in noise, choppy audio, then cutting out

    When I play a sustained audio stream through my 27" LED Cinema display – for example, listening to my music collection on iTunes – for a couple hours (since I powered on my computer), the audio suddenly gets very noisy and after a few seconds really choppy (+ noisy), and waiting another few seconds it's barely audible (just repeated hints of noise). After this happens, I can press Pause in iTunes, wait a few seconds, then press Play, and the audio is perfectly fine again.
    Then, after only a half hour or less, the same thing happens, and I have to do the same thing to fix it. I am always able to fix the audio perfectly fine, but it inevitably craps out again after 5-30 minutes.
    If I power off my computer or let it sleep overnight, then come back and play iTunes again, the audio will be fine for a few hours before this inevitably happens again.
    I've followed the advice of an Apple support technician of resetting both my NVRAM and SMC, and that had no effect. The Cinema display audio continues to behave the same.
    I have the USB for the Cinema display plugged directly into my MBP's USB port (no other USB hub in the way).
    I have the latest version of OS X and thus the 27" Cinema Firmware 1.0 update has already been applied (I tried applying it by downloading the firmware update manually, but it refused, saying I do not need this update).
    This should go without saying, but this never happens when I play music through my MBP's built-in speakers, or when I play music through external speakers plugged into the line-out port. It's behaviour that happens exclusively through the 27" Cinema display's audio interface.
    Thoughts, anyone?
    I'm especially curious whether anyone else has had precisely this kind of audio problem with their 27" Cinema display. I've seen many people post audio issues relating to their 27" Cinema display, but most of those problems were remedied by the 1.0 firmware update, and besides none of the problems were described quite like mine (specifically, audio that becomes noisy, then mostly cuts out - it never completely cuts out - and that can be reliably [temporarily] fixed by pausing and playing the audio again).

    Can an MBP Sound preferences output to the display as opposed to through usb?  I use a mac pro and have those two choices for my mini-displayport 27" apple display. 
    I am not suggesting this as a fix but only testing various other paths to try to diagnose the problem.
    What first came to mind in your description was that you are having some kind of temperature problem.  And I think the temp problem lies with the MBP and not the display.  To that end you might consider adding one of the temp monitor utilities like iStat Pro, iStat Menus, Temperature Monitor, Temperature Monitor widget, Hardware Monitor, etc.  See if there some correlation with the temps shown in some of the readings and your sound problem.

  • Powerbook cut out completely tonight-Why?

    My high res G4 15" 1.67GHz powerbook , bought Dec 05, has been playing up recently. Today I have had 2 kernel panics (possibly associated with the use of my vodafone 3G card and new software to allow it to work as the old software ceased to work with Mac Os X.4.5).
    This afternoon the powerbook just cut out and stopped working when on battery. The screen went blank and the computer working noise ceased. When I rebooted the powerbook the time and date was set to 1970 indicating there had been a failure of power.
    The battery charges full and shows a battery life of nearly 4 hours. I have had no problems previously with the powerbook.
    I updated the software to Mac Os X.4.7 two days ago.
    I am worried this is a sign of complete failure of my powerbook and wonder whether I should send it off to Apple (my nearest Apple Store is 3 hrs drive).
    Should I be worried? What should I do ? I have had macs for 13 years but this is the first time one completely cut out on me!
    G4 powerbook 1.67GHz, G4 powerbook 12 1.5GHz, Macbook pro 17" 2.16GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Since you just updated to 10.4.7, and it sounds like the issues 'may' be related (ignoring for a moment the 3G card).....did you do the update through the software update function? Sometimes the software update function doesn't complete the upgrade, and odd things can happen. If you haven't already, you may want to download the combo update from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1047comboppc.html . Repair permissions before and after the upgrade. If you use OnyX, you might clear the kernal and system caches before applying the combo upgrade.

  • Several purchased songs only play for a minute then cut out what do i do?, several purchased songs only play for a minute then cut out what do i do?

    Several purchasedsongs only play for a minute then cut off what is wrong?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • I have no problems playing iTunes Radio stations thru my tv speakers but if I try to airplay spotify from any device it plays for a while then cuts out. Any suggestions?

    I can play iTunes Radio stations via Apple TV through my tv speakers but if I try to airplay spot iffy the music cuts out after so many minutes. Any suggestions why or what I should do?

    ... sorry, my actual MacMini doesn't support a twin-monitor feature.. nor does my grafic card support a direct connection to a TV...
    you should look in your prefs, Monitor, and should be able to set for the 2nd monitor some 768res/25fps .. .if your grafic card supports that mode.. (my old iBook G3 did it that way, but it is ... "retired" ....)

  • Best Audio Filter to cut out traffic noise

    I'm new to the audio filters.  Can anyone suggest one that might help reduce the background traffic noise in an outside interview?
    Susan

    You can try using the noise reduction tools in SoundTrack Pro, but the best way to eliminate background noise in situations like this is to use a directional, dynamic mic when recording.
    If you are unfamiliar with the noise reduction tools in STP, check these out: http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=noise+reduction+soundtrack+pr o&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest

  • I have an iPhone 4s (black) and the speaker in the ear is not working. It was for a while but then cut out. If I take it to the apple store can they clean or fix it?

    When I use it on the speaker it's fine. But when I answer or make a call it's so quiet and you can barely hear!!! Frustrating

    Number one - that person has given you false information...the Apple store genius bar supports all Apple products whether in or out of warranty.  Checking is free, service on an out of warranty item is not free.
    Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    Since you show that you have iOS 7.0.3 you might want to update that iOS to 7.0.4...plug the iPhone in so you are on a solid power source, then while on a WiFi go to Settings > General > Software Update and update to 7.0.4.
