Audio cutouts when listening to Playlist

I have a Mini 10.6, with iTunes 10.4. I am streaming iTunes to my Airport Extreme/Airport Express and stereo out to my home system. I use my iPod Touch around the house to Remote control iTunes. This works really well except for one problem...
When I create a Playlist in iTunes directly at the app OR when I'm on the iPod and remotely select an Artist/Album/All Songs and then hit Shuffle (this creates a Playlist in iTunes) it plays normally for a while. Then, the audio cuts out after a song ends. I look at my iPod (or Mini) and see that iTunes is rolling on the next song, but there is no audio. I can hit the Replay or Forward buttons and it will start the current song over or go to the next song, and the audio will come back. Then a while later, same thing. It always happens after a song has ended, not during a song. So, away we go until who knows when, it cuts out again. Very frustrating. Support hasn't a clue. Does anyone have this problem? Please help.

The T420s has a Conexant audio chipset, and not a Realtek chipset. Hence, Realtek drivers won't work.
The T420s also uses the "ThinkPad Bluetooth" package.

  • Audio stutters when listening to music on U410

    I have a U410 ultrabook (purchased in Nov. 2012) which has been working fine until a couple weeks ago. Almost any time I try to listen to music now (either online with internet radio or locally with mp3s), the sound will stutter and skip. This happens about once a minute.
    I haven't installed any new software or changed drivers lately, but the computer does seem to be slowing down a bit compared to when it was brand new.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem or have any ideas on fixes?
    Solved!

  • When listening to music on ATV, it plays two songs from the playlist, then won't play any more.  You can see playlist and songs, but won't respond.  Any ideas?

    When listening to music on ATV, it will play two songs from the playlist, then no more.  You can see the playlist on songs, but it won't play.  Turned everything off, reset the network...nothing works.  Any ideas?  It used to play fine...for hours at a time.

    Hi.  Thanks for your reply.
    It is happening via "shuffle" in a playlist.  Always two different songs within the playlist.  You can see the next song on the screen that should, theoretically, be playing...but nothing happens.  Even when you push "play" on the remote, it doesn't receive the command. 
    I reset, then restored ATV.  Now, it doesn't limit itself to two songs, but does stop after a few.  The more trial and error I do, the more I believe the problem is with Homesharing in iTunes.  If I turn off Homeshare, then turn it back on, a couple more songs will play in the playlist.  I have shut down iTunes, restarted computer, completed updates, but nothing seems to change it.
    It used to play fine for hours on end, but has now found this glitch.

  • When listening to an audio book it freezes after about 10 minutes. I have done a soft reset, I have deleted the audio book and re- installed. My music plays with no problem.

    Using my ipod nano -when listening to an audio book it freezes after about 10 minutes. I have done a soft reset, I have deleted the audio book and re- installed. My music plays with no problem.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How long can I expect the battery to last when listening to audio books

    My batteries seem to lose power quickly.  How long should I expect it to last when listening to audio books or radio?

    May 30 hour with audio book since that is the same as music.
    Radio is a lot less since that requires wifi. Maybe 10 hours

  • No Audio When Listening To Streams From Websites

    Hi, I'm having problems getting audio only when watching videos streamed from different websites. For instance, on the apple website, when I watch the'WWDC 2006' keynote video I am not getting any audio. I've tried playing other videos I have on my computer and the audio is fine. In addition, playing audio files on my computer is fine. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Kevin

    hi BnB, try the following...
    1. reboot. then try again.
    2. open up Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup.
    is the Audio Output setting higher than 44100.0 Hz?
    if so, make it that and then quit this app. then try again.
    3. (black magic voodoo solution that does sometimes work).
    start GarageBand then quit it... then try again...
    post back if none of these helped... cheers

  • For some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store.

    for some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store. my old iphone 4s audio jack was messed up but i just got a new one with my warranty , can anyone help me please.

    It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
    Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

  • How can I turn off the sound from the original midi  or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

    How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
    I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

    Dan,
    It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
    Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
    This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
    One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
    Hope that helps

  • In iOS 7 I am no longer able to use the forward and revese keys when listening to music or spoken word

    I use my iPhone in the car. It has been a really useful feature to be able to fast forward and reverse buttons on the steering wheel when listening to an iBook. This no longer works with iO7 and I am really disappointed that I now have to revert to using the keys on the iPhone rather than the cars steering wheel. I also now get regular warnings that the cables I am using were not made for the iPhone. I bought them from Apple direct so what

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50856.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load.  Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.

  • Audio distortion when fully inserting headphones

    Evening Applers
    I've noticed a small crack on the very top left of my 3GS around the metallic frame that has coincided with a problem with the audio when adding headphones.
    I suppose I'm trying to diagnose whether the impact of this crack could have damaged in some way the audio jack to cause audio problems when fully inserting the headphones. If I insert the headphones 1/2 way the audio is as new, but obviously as they're not fully inserted makes it tricky to listen without having to support the jack to provide the connection.
    I've tried fully inserting a similar jack linked to my stereo, however, and the audio is as new!?!? I've also tried the headphones out of another iPod to see whether that is causing a problem as well as attempting to clean the jack and blow any dust out but to no avail.
    Does anyone recognise this problem, and can offer any tips or suggestions as to resolving this?
    Many thanks in advance
    Tim

    Many thanks for your reply,
    I thought the same but would have thought the jack would then display similar problems when playing through another 3.5mm plug..it also turns out that the phone speaker itself doesn't work either unless the speakerphone is on. I'm beginning to think that something else is going on!!
    I've no recollection of a bump, deep or crash of the severity that it would appear knock the whole audio aspect of an iPhone. I appreciate they are sensitive pieces of kit but this is a bit much..

  • HT201359 I purchased a audio book to listen to on my commute to work. It only works over wifi, that does me no good in the car and the book is hours long for audio. That will eat up my data. How can I get a refund?

    How are you trying to listen to it ? You shouldn't need to be online to listen to it, I don't for any of mine. If you've downloaded it directly on your iPad (or synced it from your computer) then it should be in the Music app (you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button in the Music app when you have audiobooks on it) - is that where you are trying to listen to it ?
