Audio doing Wierd things!!

Just wondered if anyone has experienced this little querk?
All was well, but my captivate has just started to do this today,
and it's somewhat annoying and causing me unneccessary re-work.
Problem is this:
I am recording narration onto a captivate project which is
derived from a converted powerpoint presentation (2003, backward
converted to 2003 to inport into Captivate 3).
When I set my sound levels and record for the first time on a
slide it plays back fine, no hissing or quality issues. However,
now imagaine I edit the recording and need to insert a newly
recorded sentence into this prior recording. BINGO... and here is
the issue, when I do this the recording plays back really noisey at
this newly inserted piece and the quality is awfull, even though
all the equiptment and my voice hasn't changed. I have even tried
recalibrating the input before doing an insert and it has made no
difference.
Curiously, if i then add a blank slide to the project and
record the new sentences to insert in there and then Import that
audio into the preferred slide, it plays back fine. I have no idea
why it is doing this and wondered if anyone else has experienced
this and if I can do something to fix this issue. It makes eding
the audio, hard work and as it was ok before, I am unsure why this
has changed now??
Any advice PLEASE.
Thanks!

I experienced similar the other day - I think somehow the
original sound can
be compressed a second time under certain circumstances,
causing the bad
sound quality. I didn't manage to pin down the exact steps
that caused my
sound problem, but it was something similar to what you
describe. I think
you'll have to stick with your workaround for now.

  • Spry Accordion doing wierd things

    I have a page with 4 accordions on it. To keep things in line, they are in 4 cells of a 2 row table.  (I know ... ick!) They are working as designed (including 2 not being expanded on load) except for the erratic behavior of the bottom two.  They expand (widthwise) and contract with no reason.  I've carefully compared them with the top two (behaving very nicely, thank you) and can find no code difference.  What have I missed?  The link is http://shrhabitat.org/HFHSHR_staff.php.  Thank you.

    You aren't setting any widths on your accordions or the <table> ... If you don't specify a width on your tables they will shrink wrap whatever is inside them ... since one of your <td> in your tables is set to 50%, it will always resize whenever the width of your table changes. If you don't specify a width on your accordion, then it defaults to trying to expand to fill up the width of its parent, in this case a table cell, which triggers the table layout code to figure out if it should resize ... blah blah :-) ... Try setting the widths of your table to 100% and see if that fixes things for you ... that will stop the tables from growing/shrinking as content inside it changes.

  • Please help! My ipod nano 1GB is doing wierd things!!!

    I just got it less than a week ago so I am really new at this. My ipod was fine all day until this afternoon when I was listening to a song, then I noticed that it had stopped playing music so I looked at the screen and it showed the ipod skipping songs on its own. My ipod has a full battery and isn't on suffle. Every time I go to my list of songs and select a song the ipod starts going through the songs and will not stop until I press pause. If I press play again it then goes back to skipping songs until it has finished the list, then it goes back to the main menu. Please help me! I don't know what my ipod nano is doing!!!

  • I am trying to play an mp4 in quicktime and the video and audio does not sync. Any tips?

    I am trying to play an mp4 in quicktime and the video and audio does not sync. Any tips? This is not hack/ripped video but a legit home movie.

    In this case, it looks like Quicktime wasn't very efficient in managing memory, leading to a slowdown in playback. If QT has a lag and VLC doesn't, that's more evidence.
    I couldn't say why your friend's windows computer plays the media fine, while your Mac doesn't. The only thing I could suggest is to disable QT streaming video - which has been known to slow down performance.

  • My audio does not work on my pavilion dv4. i just bought this laptop a few days ago. what's going on

    my audio does not work on my pavilion dv4

    This worked for me.
    Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Log out/in
    If it works, delete the .plist on your desktop.
    If  the same, return the .plist to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • My Mac is doing strange things: delaying between users, mouse flickering and bouncing, gets stuck with rainbow wheel flickering. I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error: 4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233 Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

    My imac is doing strange things:
    -delaying between users: when closing session it goes to blue, then takes a while to appear users signin box, and then wont recognize mouse command to enter until a couple of minutes later... then everything seems alright until....
    -it gets stuck between things, the rainbow wheel appears and its just delays there forever....
    -and every now and then the mouse starts flickering and bouncing wildly onscreen.
    I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error:
    4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233
    Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

    WZZZ answered about where to get iStat. And do check the SMART status. If it is an overheating problem due to a fan or logic board problem, your hard drive is possibly cooking itself to death. If so it isn't a faulty hard drive even though the hard drive might fail. So assuming it's a temperature problem, even if you are able to repair things on the disk with software, that is working on symptoms, not causes. I could be wrong however.
    RE: AppleCare: Your iMac came with one year of AppleCare (Apple's warranty program), but within the first year you can buy 2 more years. You have to extend by the one year anniversary of purchase of the computer. Your 10,1 is too old to still be in the first year, and since you asked what it was, I'm sure you don't have it. Bottom line meaning is that whatever this problem turns out to be, you'll have to pay for it. Unless there is something like this. It is for 2011 iMacs with certain Seagate drives. You can put in your serial number for fun, but it looks like yours is too old. Lastly, some people have had Apple help them anyway if it is just out of warranty, but many have not. Your machine is one of these. Type in 10,1 in the search box. Is there an Apple Store near you? Just b/c it's out of warranty doesn't mean you shouldn't have it looked at by Apple. But no one here can say at all what Apple will or will not do.
    Hope you get it taken care of!

    Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
    the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
    good luck

  • Is apple doing any thing to solve the issue foe WIFI grayout

    is apple doing any thing to solve the WIFI grayout ISSUE

    I am having this same problem (Wifi drops, freeze the screen) and it looks I am not the only one! Unfortunately, I went to the Apple Store in San Francisco and eventhough the Genius guy told me that the problem is in the manufacture process, he could not exchange the phone, since one year ago Apple exchange my old Iphone 5 cause I was having battery issues. The only way to solve with Apple now is paying more than $250 for a refurbished Iphone. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Apple anymore!!!

    I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie.  Any suggestions to fix?

    Thanks for the reply.  I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long.  After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix.  I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

    The default settings mostly likely use an audio sample rate of 32k. This doesn't work probably in FCP. You're probably better off capturing the tape in iMovie.
