Audio cutting out on Apple TV?
The audio on my Apple TV (3rd Gen) has begun to cut out during playback. The problem occurs both in my iTunes content, iTunes trailers and within Netflix.
I have managed to narrow the problem down to the Apple TV. My network is fine, iTunes is fine and Netflix is fine... I am able to watch movies etc. on my other devices without a problem.
Does anybody have a solution for this problem? It seems to be pretty common. And please don't hit me with the usual reset, turn on/off suggestions... I've tried the lot!
On a general note. If anybody out there is listening - Apple, you are slipping big time. Recently I have had constant nagging problems with my devices. The Apple TV has given me many problems. Frankly, I think it just ain't acceptable and it's just not the Apple way.
I'm a major Apple fan-boy too, so this just makes these nagging issues all the more frustrating. Then when it comes to trying to resolve your problems; it's a case of fix it yourself!!!
Have you tried connecting via ethernet, that will help to verify any wifi issues. Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network).
To get a proper indication of the network you need to go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) and get a report, look for signal strength and noise.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.
May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them. -
I have just been watching (The Adjustment Bureau) a rental movie and about half way through the audio cut out, I tried rerunning the chapter but still the same problem so I tried the restoring function and now I have lost the 48 hrs viewing of the movie. So how do I get the movie back without paying for it again and is this problem likely to reoccoure and if so how do I rest without loosing the movie?
Hi David.
This must be a glitch in the movie file on the iTunes server because my husband and I just reached the same point in he film (The Adjustment Bureau) and no audio! Totally cuts out and doesn't come back in. We tried the same - turned off, signed out, and also couldn't see the rental in the menu... Sign out, sign back in and click 'Check for rentals' in the 'General' menu just under where you signed in.
It may come up with a negative 'no more rentals can be found' or similar but go back to the main screen and check anyway. It should be there. -
Audio cut out and midi miss sync
Lately I have been getting audio cut out, and the missing, 'error while trying to sync audio and midi'.
I thought it was that I had too many instances of virtual instruments. So I mixed the song down. Imported that into a NEW song, with only one audio track, and then proceeded to try to do an organ overdub...Well Logic still drops out and gives me the message, even though there is NO midi information in this file...
Then I noticed that even AIF or mp3 files, didn't play properly from the desktop preview mode. They stop too. Activity monitor doesn't seem to be showing anything overworking..
Disk Warrior fixed some volume errors,
Anyone have any ideas to try?I'm using a motu828. I disconnected the firewire connection, and ran audio from the headphone jack to the motu, and VOILA, no problems... Last year, I went thru two motu units, not really sure if they are the issue.
I think it might be LOGIC's firewire circuitry. Apple techs couldn't find the issue, I had the G5 motherboard replaced. Another factor was I had 3 Lacie firewire drives (2 firewire 800, 1 400) I have had 4 Lacie drives die on me in the last 3 years. They are the only firewire drives I have, so I don't know if the fault lies with them, or the again Apples firewire circuitry, stressing the drives out???
I also put a firewire 800 card in my system.
I have now switched to an external ESATA raid setup. No more firewire drives. So far so good. Since I had the whole motherboard replaced, I don't know what that means in terms of MOTU connected via firewire..
For now, I'm running audio out of headphone jack, using all virtual instruments, so I know it will sound better when I get firewire audio up and running, but I got tired of it cutting out every 3 - 30 minutes. I'm thinking about the apogee duet unit. But again if it's connected via firewire, I don't know where that leaves me..
My G5 is three and half years old, perhaps it's tired and wants to be retired....
The dark part of me wonders, if Apple computers don't start crapping out after three years of heavy use, or is it that technology, software, updates, push the hardware beyond it's capacity after a few years. -
Audio cuts out most of the way through an iDVD image
We created a Quicktime file using Final Cut Express HD 3.5, and imported the Quicktime fill into iDVD 6 (all patches have been applied to iDVD and to Quicktime, and Quicktime has been upgraded to Pro version). The iDVD preview shows that all audio is present all the way through the end of the video(about 1 hour and 5 minutes), which means that the Quicktime file has all the audio present.
However, after creating a DVD disk image with iDVD 6, the audio cuts out completely about 55 minutes into the video. The spot where the audio cuts out is not near any chapter marker nor near any transition of any kind in the Final Cut editor session.
By the way, I am creating the image on an external Firewire drive with 112 Gbyte free, although we also tried the internal hard drive which has about 20Gbyte free.
How can I figure out how to get all the audio onto the image created by iDVD?I believe I've found the cause of the problem! Within Final Cut Express, I found a system setting for output buffer size, set by default to 2Gbyte. I also found that the default 'Convert to Quicktime' setting is for Internet Fast Start. I increased the buffer size from 2Gbyte to 3Gbyte and unchecked Internet Fast Start, and I have no more audio drop out!
I think that iDVD has a bug when multiple file segments are linked together in the Quicktime file (because of the smaller FCE output buffer size). Note that the iDVD preview did not experience the problem, so that part of the iDVD app seems to handle multiple file segments correctly, whereas the part that processes the file segments while creating the DVD image seems to have the bug. Increasing the buffer size masked the iDVD bug.
So if anybody from Apple is listening, please fix your iDVD bug please!
Concerning the ZR85, I do re-use tapes quite a lot and have never experienced problems. I do clean the ZR85 heads periodically. However, I shall consider using new tapes more often. -
The bluetooth connection for all audio speakers is cutting out - especially when scrolling through email and web browser. I'm on a MacBook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2010. The issue of bluetooth cutting out started after loading Yosemite (now 10.10.1.). It doesn't matter what speaker I'm connected to via bluetooth or the distance between the computer and speaker. While listening to any streaming audio - from any source (web, iTunes, etc.), when I type or scroll through email or browse the web, the audio cuts out on the bluetooth speaker. Is there something I can do to fix the connection issue?
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear, and then again as you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Updated to iOS 4.3.4 this weekend and ever since then, when talking on phone (both my iPhone 3GS and my wife's iPhone 4) the audio cuts out for a second on average every minute during the call (the frequency of the one second cut-out seems to fluctuate). Don't know if this is an iOS issue or an AT&T issue. Anyone else experiencing anything like this and/or have a suggested solution? Thanks.
Yes! I have the same issue too with me Motorokr s9 stereo BT headset and my Jawbone Icon -- This happens both when playing music via the iPod app OR when speaking on the phone. I can't put the phone in my pocket or else this happens!!! I also can't put it on the desk then walk around my 12x12 office without the dropouts. Having to hold the phone close to the headset kinda defeats the purpose. BTW, my 3GS worked almost flawlessly with these devices. I know, early-adopter syndrome but REALLY! I really rely on the BT headsets
Just got off the phone with Apple Support -- they were ver nice and helpful. They've scheduled me a Genius appt for tomorrow morning so they can run diags on the iPhone. They've also asked me to bring the headsets.

Why is my audio cutting out in iMovie when I do green screen?
I am creating a newscast in iMovie using green screen. As I get farther into the movie, the audio cuts out of the scene. Why is this happening?
The audio from both background and green screen foreground clips should play simultaneously but you should be able to adjust the tracks individually.

Audio cuts out for a few seconds
Hi,
I'm not sure if anyone is experiencing this but it happens to me all the time and it's so so annoying.
When playingback the timeline on CS6 the audio cuts out at random places and then it comes back, then it goes again for a few seconds then back again,..while video keeps on playing.....this is just random and it can happen as soon as you press play or after a few seconds and it happens when audio is stereo, mono, mp3,wav,aif, you name it.
Also, it happens regardless of playback quality or timeline render status (red, yellow or green). My computer is quite fast + 24gb RAM so I dont think the PC is a problem, It also happens on a different computer within our studio.
Needless to say that editing under these circumstances is becoming impossible/frustrating and I'm even considering finding other software to edit with! I've found others with this same problem at cretive cow http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/935424
If anyone from Adobe reads this, please help!!!
thanks in advanceUnfortunately there's no fix for this problem that plagues Classic since release. Considering that a new generation appeared I guess we have no reason to expect a fix anymore.
I also have the problem and it makes the iPod Classic less desirable to be used as a music player than a generic $10 (no name) usb stick. -
Why does audio cut out 10-15 minutes into iTunes movie? Using Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
My audio cuts out in any completely downloaded iTunes movie (SD or HD) 10-15 minutes into watching it in iTunes how can I fix this?
I have to shut down iTunes completely and restart it again to get the audio to come back. 10-15 minutes later the audio disapears again.
I am running a Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit on a PC, 8 GB RAM, ADM Athlon II X2 265 Processor, 3.30 GHz
Running iTunes application version 11.1.3.8
Quicktime 7.7.4 (1680.86)
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes already.
Any ideas?Hi RonaldRenaud,
If my understanding is right, this RDP issue only occur in the connection between Windows 8.1 and Server 2008.
Please check if you have installed the update kb2984006.

Audio Cuts out after a few minutes. IChat AV 2.1
I have surfed and have not found any topics like this yet. Audio is cutting out after chatting with another Mac - AV user. Both microphones still appear to work in the preferences, but the person can not hear on the other side. Video works fine, but now audio. Any help or suggestions would be helpful. Virex 7 has already been removed. This solved the video problems. Merry Christmas.
Hi Brian,
Your title states that the audio cuts out during a chat but the post itself seems to imply that you do not have Audio after the chat.
IF it is cutting out during a Video cut can you please tell us what connection speeds both ends have ?
It should be a at least 100kbps up and down.
If it is not you will have problems. You may find that a cable connection varies as the chat goes on and this might be part of the problem.
Soemthings that might help:
GO to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab and set the Connection sped to mathc the download speed at either end.
GO to iChat > Preferences > Video > bandwidth Limit Drop Down and set this to NONE.

Why does my facetime audio cut out?
When I am facetiming with mac laptops running snow leapord after a period of time, the audio cuts out.
What causes this and how to prevent it? It is very annoying.
They can hear me but the audio from them is mute.If the iPod plays fine after you start the car, then most likely its fine and normal. If it doesn't, try contacting your dealer.

My streaming video audio will cut out for several seconds at a time then return to normal again. I can, when the audio cuts out, turn up the manual volume on my surround sound to hear however when audio returns, I get blasted until I turn down the surround sound again. High CPU utilization *may* be a contributor to this problem - currently averaging about 95%.
What can I do to correct this problem?Hi MDS,
Here are the possible HP products for a Touchsmart 9100. Both models do not list Win 7 Home Premium as an HP supported operating system. Did you upgrade from Vista to Win 7 or did you perform a clean install of Win 7 Home Premium?
Both models also reflect this updated driver version (6.0.1.5932) for Realtek High Def Audio. You have driver version (6.0.1.7076) installed on your PC.
You could try installing the version per the above link if you have Win 7 Pro 32 bit or 64 bit installed.
Try checking your file system by opening an administrative command prompt and entering the following: sfc /scannow
You may have to schedule this task to run at the next boot. Please reboot your system to run the task.
Do you know which process is consuming all of your PC's CPU time?
