Audio crackling killing FCP audio but not in stand alone QT player

I have a file I recorded in IShowU.
When I load it into final cut every once in a while I get a large crack and pop from the audio that kills my speakers requiring a reboot. If I play it through headphones it still cracks but it doesn't kill the audio.
If I play that EXACT same file in Quicktime stand alone player it plays perfectly. However, if I export the file from Final Cut and try to play it in Quicktime it has the same pops as it does in Final Cut.
Any ideas?
This is FCP 6.0.6

Did you ever solve this problem? I'm having the same issue with some audio in a FCP project. It was fine last night, but when I hopped on my machine this morning to work on it, I played the project and now have a segment of audio where it just gives a large pop/crackle and kills the speakers. If I have my headphones in, it keeps playing and there is the loudest static you've ever heard. The weird part is there is other segments of audio from the same clip in other parts of the video and they're fine. Additionally, when previewing the segment that crackles in the viewer window, there aren't any problems. It only happens in the timeline.

HP Pavilion 15-p027ne, Audio working through headphones/earphones but not through speakers

HP Pavilion 15-p027ne:
Audio working through headphones/earphones but not through speakers.
I downgraded from windows 8.1 to Windows 7 (64-bit) and the problem is still not resolved.
Appreciate any troubleshooting tips.
Thanks.

Hi there @donimuha
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that you are getting sound from the headphones/earplugs but not from the system speakers. I am happy to assist you with this.
As the sound is working through the audio jack, I will assume for now that the audio driver is fine. Please check through the following page, which is very comprehensive. If you are still having a problem it is possibly a hardware issue with the speakers.
No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
Let me know if that works for you.

Can someone please tell me how to view a newly created Genius playlist (not via Up Next, but as a stand-alone playlist)? Thank you!

That probably means that you're not looking at a bug in Photoshop, but a problem with a driver - and the most likely cause would be your video card driver.
And sure enough, your video card driver is almost 2 years out of date.
Please go to NVidia's website and get the latest driver - then follow their directions for installation (so you don't get bits of old driver left over).

I canot change an .img (video) file to a .mov file. It ends in .img no other endings. It plays on my computer but not on my blue Ray player TV. It came from Finalcut Pro as a home movie. Any help?

Can I download the stand-alone Flash Player that does not need a browser? I have ver 11.5 r502 that I d/l last year; would like a newer release.

Can't find much about the standalone viewer, except in the Flash Builder docs, which says a .swf can specify to use it. I can't find a download link.
Thanks, Doug

You can download the standalone player (Projector) from https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you need to make the .swf file association manually.

How do you reduce Audio Crackle in FCP (V6) ?

ok, In my last post I was replacing bad audio with good audio but now I have a situation where even the +"good audio"+ as some crackle in it.
I've been experimenting with various filters in FCP but not getting very good results.
is there a specific filter suitable for reducing a slight crackle in audio?
or is there a better way in Soundtrack Pro?

ok, so I changed it to 48bit by exporting the audio from FCP and changing the setting.
so I end up with a 48bit Aif file.
so I re-import that into FCP but of course I cannot get it to sync with the original.
there were several edits made in the original but exporting, create an identical file right?
but it does not line up.
I tried a trail version of PluralEyes but its not even working. I tried ti three times and it simply crashes.
is there any other way to sync up the new audio file?

Why does GarageBand audio work for guest user but not my account?

Hello, I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3) from late 2011 that I bought brand new in 2012. I'm running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and my MacBook has 500 GB of storage.
About a month or two ago I tried to download the new GarageBand (10.0.2) but I had trouble completing the loops download. The download would stop halfway through because of a network error. So last week I decided to try to download it again, and I was able to do so after reading some discussions about the issue. I successfully completed the download in safety mode and then I restarted my MacBook. At this point I was able to open GarageBand 10.0.2 and create a new project. Unfortunately, there was no audio coming through the output and sound bar for the various audio components in GarageBand. I had no audio when previewing the loops or playing it back in an audio track. I didn't really test anything else out because I figured I needed to fix this problem first. I have read many discussion boards about audio problems with GarageBand. I have already made sure everything is set properly in the GarageBand preferences and the audio preferences in system preferences. I've tried restarting GarageBand and restarting the computer.
This evening I found a discussion from the username icewhatice and they seemed to have had my exact problem. I'm not sure that I found the answer on this discussion though. For reference, this is what icewhatice posted: "I have no audio coming from Garageband 10.0.2. Downloaded it on Saturday and have spent the last two days trying to figure out why it won't work. I'm using a macbook pro with an Alesis QX49. GB registers keyboard when I plug it in but no sound whatsoever, not even from the onscreen keyboard. It seems to read the keyboard as if I play a C chord, it appears in the display. I've done all the obvious stuff like check preferences, restart, I've deleted and downloaded new GB several times and always with same result. Actually, it took me about four attempts to download it in the first place as I was getting an internet connection error message right at the end of the download, and I see others have had that problem. Managed to solve that by downloading in safe mode but now the no sound thing is driving me absolutely crazy because I can't play my keyboard!!!!! Also, worth noting that there is no audio level being read anywhere, I believe in the new version this appears in the volume control at the top. I've also looked into it potentially being a problem with my keyboard and it possibly needing an update but can't find any difinitive answer for that anywhere. I've stopped looking into that because the on screen keyboard doesn't even work - if that worked then I would know at least GB works and it's something to do with the keyboard. So, I am at a complete loss. If anyone has any ideas about why this is happening or what I could do to solve then I would be very grateful."
After reading this, I realized that I am unable to create new tracks, and I realized that I have the same problems with old projects saved from the last version of GarageBand I had. I have not tried to download GarageBand again since it did not work for icewhatice. léonie ended this post by saying: "Something is certainly wrong - either the current project, some settings in your user account, or the downloaded GarageBand version. Or incompatible software may be interfering. If a new project does not work, try to test by logging into a different user account, for example the "Guest User" account. Create a new project using this account. Does GarageBand work better from this account? Then we will need to troubleshoot your preferences."
I have tried this and started a new GarageBand project in the "Guest User" account. GarageBand was working fine in the "Guest User" account and all of the audio was working properly. Does anyone know how I should troubleshoot my preferences?

If an application is working in a different account, but not in your regular account,try t find out, what you configured differently in your own account, for example start-up items or preference panes you are using, applications and other helper tools, that are only installed for your regular account. As a first guess, remove GarageBands preference files from the user library in your Home folder.
But you will have to reset all settings you did in the GarageBand preferences dialog. And GarageBand will not remember the last project. You'll have to find the file manually.
Remove these files from your User Library to a folder on your Desktop:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.garageband.plist
~/Library/Caches/garageband
Quit GarageBand, then remove the files to a folder on the Desktop and restart the computer, before trying again to open GarageBand.
You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:
Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house) in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
Enable "Show Library Folder".
Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to the Preferences, Caches, or Containers folder. Remove these folders completely - don't leave anything inside: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/,
~/Library/Caches/garageband .

Imported Audio CD, two songs imported but not included on album with rest of songs

I just bought an Audio CD "Red River Blue", Artist Blake Shelton. I imported the CD into my iTunes library.
The CD has 11 songs on it. All 11 songs were imported into my iTunes library. Two of the songs had additional artists listed on the credits.
Track 7 Blake Shelton with Martina McBride and Track 11 Blake Selton with Miranda Lambert.
These two songs were imported into my library but not included in the Album. They were labeled with their correct track number and the album was missing a song for track 7 and track 11. There was no cover artwork associated with those songs.
When I moved the album to a playlist these two songs were not included.
This is clearly an error in the current iTunes!
Back before iTunes had the new visual format and new user interface I did not have this problem.
I have reviewed all the preferences for iTunes but can not find any that would seem to control this behavior. I can not conceive that importing a cd should work this way.
I tried to find a way to correct this situation and found that if you did get info on all 11 songs you could force them to be included on one album.
The resulting album did not show track 7 in the correct order and the two tracks were still missing the cover artwork.
I believe that in one of the iTunes updates that required a library conversion all my albums that had this situation were converted wrong so they broke apart songs from their albums.

And thinking about it, when I reconnected last Sunday I recall that I got that prompt on my phone something like "Do you trust this computer?". Not seen that one for a while.

Why would the audio play through the headphones but not the speakers?

I am working on an app that has embedded video. The audio works fine through my speakers and headphones as it does for some of my coworkers, but I also have other coworkers who get audio through the headphones but not the speakers. It's a variety of devices, 4, 4S, and 5. Any thoughts?

If you are working on developing an app perhaps you should try the developers forum.

Audio Tracks can be Heard but not Seen

I am using Logic Studio 9 and in Logic Pro all the sudden I have had a problem with my audio tracks. When I record the tracks I can see the track audio waves being cut but once I hit stop the track visual go to a straight line with no feature. If I back up the play head and press play I can hear the audio of the track, but not see it. I can even bounce the track and use it in iTunes or WaveBurner, but still I cannot see the track visual info. This just recently started. ANY ANSWERS to this mystery would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Two issues getting a headless error form windows & my clips audio plays in the preview but not once placed in th timeline. I taped with a panasonic HC 750 V. i believe it is with clips filmed using directed not surround audio.

The title more or less says it all. I have Elements 13 & am Using the Panasonic HC 750V. I shot in AVCHD 1080/60p & instead of surround sound choose the directed feature to focus on the voices in front of me. The audio works in preview but not on the timeline. I am also getting Headless errors when working with premiere that pop up in windows but it does not shut down the system.
Any help apprecaited.

Have you updated your Premiere Elements 13 to 13.1 using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, please do so.
Just some points of clarification on the AVCHD 1080/60p with which you are having audio problem in Premiere Elements 13.
a. I see no option to record to tape with your Panasonic model. Is there one? if not, what was recorded to, a memory card?
b. When you talk about directed not surround audio, are you saying that your video uses Dolby Digital 2 channel stereo instead of 5.1 channel?
c. Is your AVCHD footage presented to you as AVCHD.mts rather than AVCHD.mp4. I think that is the case if you are referring to Dolby Digital
rather than AAC audio.
Are you saying that you get play back video and audio if you double click the video's thumbnail in Project Assets, but you get video but no audio after you drag the file to the Timeline and play back its contents in the Edit area monitor?
a. Have you checked the Volume control under the Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Volume Panel expanded to make sure the Volume has been taken all the way down? Under that condition, you will get play back in the Preview Window, but no audio from the Timeline level play back in the Edit area monitor.
b. In that same regard, if you look at the Timeline audio clip, note a yellow orange line that runs horizontally across the duration of the audio clip. Is that at the bottom of the frame or is it in the middle or at the top?
Do you work with the Elements Organizer at all? That Headess issue sounds like an Elements Organizer issue. More on that later. That issue should not prevent you from continuing your work. But we will explore that next.
Thanks.

Audio through Screen Sharing.app but not Remote Desktop?

Can anyone enlighten me as to why audio from a remote Mountain Lion machine can be heard through the Screen Sharing.app but not Apple Remote Desktop? Do they use different protocols?

Your ssh command should look something like:
ssh -L 22590:localhost:5900 remove.mac.system.address
Then you connect using
Finder -> Go -> Connect to server -> vnc://localhost:22590
Have you been doing anything close to that?

Why does CD burned as "audio" only play in computers but not car?

I've done all the troubleshooting steps but to no avail. My CDs burned from iTunes play in computers but not in cars. Help!

Some car stereos can't handle anything other than commercially pressed CDs. I find that burned CDs have a limited playable lifespan for my car and have been told by my dealership that the stereo is not rated to play CD-R discs (but that hasn't stopped me). There's something about the fact that home burned CDs are dye-based whereas commercially burned CDs have more of a metal layer abalated write done that makes them more reliable to read.
You might have to look into replacing your stereo with one that can handle CD-Rs. Crutchfield is a good place to research them and the included install kits are great.

Why I can stream audio to my apple TV but not movies I rented on iTunes?

I'm able to stream music to my TV but not TV shows or movies. What gives? Any ideas?

appletv can be used as remote speakers same way as airport express can
appletv can if one have mtn lion and a supported mac do airplay mirror which also send the computers display to the appletv it though require the video card of the mac to support encryption to H.264 in realtime as the lagg would otherwise be a problem
here you can see if your mac is on the supported list and how to enable airplay mirror if it is
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
if it's not supported then youc an try the 3th party program called airparrot which is suppose to work on older macs but there could be performance issues and lagg between what is shown on the mac and the tv

My DVD's Audio is fine on the Mac - but MISSING on stand-alone player

Slightly wrong forum (sorry) but all the experts are here!
Re-hashing my 4:3 DV (PAL) movie for a re-release of the DVD and all's gone extremely well until now.
On my (DVDSP) burned DVD all video is working fine - the audio files are .ac3
No audio in the AUDIO_TS folder on disc - or in the cache (using finder).
Where did I go wrong?
How can it play perfectly on the Mac (DVD Player) and there be NO AUDIO on the stand-alone?
Thanks in anxious anticipation!

Thanks both.
Talk about a fun Friday, we have HUGE floods here (no - nothing to do with the DVD problem, OR the vacuum cleaner) the UK's had an abnormal amount of rain recently and today's been hideous!
To get back to the topic, as in all pro studios, the DVD player is on the floor - and the carpet was vacuumed yesterday. I notice the player had moved but it didn't dawn on me to check the cables.
Typical of me - assume there's a really serious technical problem first - check the obvious last!
