Audio Drop Out/Popping sound Problem

Hi,
For the last few weeks (since i installed snow leopard i think), i have been getting a lot of audio drop outs, where all of a sudden the sound goes dead and i get a popping sound coming from my speakers.
I am using a pre sonus fire studio project audio interface, with its firmware updated to the latest (the latest update was a beta snow leopard update).
I am running logic pro 8 with snow leopard 10.6.2.
I think i have narrowed the problem down to my presonus fire studio because i totally disconnected it and used logics built in audio soundcard and i didn't get any audio drop out at all.
I was just wondering if anyone had any similar experiences or ideas and suggestions on what is best to do?
thanks in advance for any help.
Tom

It depends, are you running off battery when this happens? If so then morethan likely it is the audio hardware coming back online. In an effort to conserve power, what Mac OS X does is when you are on battery is that it turns off your audio hardware when it has not been used for a certian amount of time. This popping sound is typical of the audio hardware being powered up.

Audio drop outs and continuing problems- Apple Support informed again.

Hi All,
Have had various audio problems with iMovie transfer to iDVD 6. iMovie had the problems initially but a weird trick seems to be helping me.
Copy a random new audio track into my film, paste it, then cut it out then empty trash..... all of a sudden my audio is clean again and perfectly in time with the video. I have informed the iMovies people in Ireland and they are at a loss to explain why this is now ok.
BACK to the plot and iDVD 6.
When I try to export this project from iMovie in iDVD 6 it either becomes an audio garbled nightmare or if I try and import into iDVD 6 I get audio that gradually becomes out of sync with the video visual. I know that this project was recorded in 16 bit audio so no joy there.
I've told Apple in Ireland that there are major audio issues with iDVD 6's audio set up + something they were apparently unaware of. I was assured that the tech dept's would investigate and solve. I am really surprised that they hadn't seen this problem in this forum!!
In the meantime any advice is very gratefully received. I'm on an Intel G5 Imac with 1.83ghz 1Gb sdram and 250 GB HD. So Software is currently limited!! I desperately need to get this project to DVD!!!!
Many thanks,
GUY

SAME EXACT THING HERE. This is what I posted in a diff thread:
2013 iMac 1TB Flash Drive
OS 10.8.5
Constant audio drop outs using Apogee Duet. I have to unplug and replug several times to get the system to recognize it. Sometimes when it is connected, Audio Prefs doesn't even recognize it and it shows up as "Unknown". When I click Audio Prefs before I get in, I get the spinning beachball and it takes a while for it to open. I have been in touch with Apogee but to no avail. It seems to work on my 2013 Macbook Pro, but I haven't tested extensively. It seems to get tripped up if I'm working in Ableton and get a Facetime call or if I try to use Youtube / Soundcloud. The system gets noticebly slower. When I switch back to Ableton, Duet is recognized (sometimes not recognized at all) but I cannot play anything inside the project window.
Not sure what to do at this point

Problem : Audio drops out on multicast

We are using Quicktime to view multicasted feeds. We read in the SDP file, Quicktime goes off, does the connect...all is well..until you try and fast forward to get rid of the latency (customer wants < 100 ms, which Quicktime can do fine). If you get to the end of the buffering, video still works fine, but audio drops out and does not come back. There is also some audio pops while the fastforward occurs. This behaviour is the same on both the standard player and the wrapped version.
Have not seen anything in COM interface that can let me see how much buffering is left, otherwise I could simple keep poking fastforward until I have minimal buffer left.
Here is the SDP file we are using

There are only two possible causes I can think of:
1. The fiel your'e using out of FCP is bad.
2. The encode that DVDSP created is bad.
> After exporting to DVD using compressor, the audio on the DVD completely goes away 49 seconds in. It's there on the master in FCP, but not on the DVD. It goes away in simulator too. <
How did you export out of FCP? I always use a self-contained movie. If the movie includes the audio, there's a problem in DVDSP.
If you are exporting to MPEG2 out of FCP, you must figure out a way to check the audio portion of the file.
If it goes away in Simulator there's an issue happening right at that point. Does it play in the DVDSP timeline? Does it play in the media viewer of DVDSP? Can you open the exported movie in QT Player?
Is there anything significant about the 49 second location?

Motion produces audio drop out in FCP

I'm working in Motion 2.0.1 with FCP 5.0.3. I'm using a G5 Dual 2.7, 4GB RAM with OS X 10.4.3
I created a FCP audio/video sequence with multiple clips and exported it as a self-contained QT movie.
In Motion I used the Glass Panes Open NTSC template...modified some lengths and added a number of additional layers. I dragged and dropped the previously mentioned QT movie into various layers. I used the slip tool to move the clips where I wanted them in the various layers. Everything looks and sounds fine at this point.
I export the Motion project as a QT movie (self-contained) and import it into FCP. The video still looks great but I get audio dropouts periodically through the movie.
I've trashed Motion preferences, I've played it only in the QT player with same results. I've gone back and exported the original FCP sequence another time...rebuilt the project again and had the same results.
Okay, I realize the work-around is to use the original audio while keeping the video portion of what was created in Motion. And of course that's what I've started doing now, but why should I have to go to that extra work?
Have any, of the many, much more experienced users of Motion come across this problem before. If so what did you do about it?
Thanks
Doug

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Can you guess how I feel? Okay, here's the answer to my own question, and I hope no one else has to waste hours of time like I did on this one.
When I exported the QT movie of course I used the "Export Preset" for DV NTSC Movie, because that's what naturally pops up in the dialogue box. But guess what ladies and gentlemen, if you're going to use this movie in FCP that's not what you need to do. Instead you need to make the additional step of clicking on the "Options..." button. Once you do this you will notice the sample rate for "Audio" is by default set to 44.1kHz. You need to select the disclosure triangle and then select 48 kHz. Once you do this your QT movies will in fact actually play in FCP.
Geez, I can't believe I went to all the trouble of re-inserting the original audio where all the drop outs were. Of course now I will begin putting in the new QT movies since the ones I have in there now have 44.1 kHz and that might produce audio drop outs when I print this baby to tape.
At least I can take solice in knowing that the hour plus I spent with the folks at pro video support didn't arrive with a solution either, and that I eventually figured it out on my own. Can I give myself points for this? Of course not. But I certainly hope I can give someone out there a little peace of mind if ever they come across the same issue.
Happy Thanksgiving

Audio drop-out in FCPX with 1920x1080 & 2048x1240p @ 24p (codec Apple ProRes 4444 (Linear PCM))24p

Hi all...
I'm new to this forum.
Is there an audio issue (drop-outs) with FCPX (ver 10.1.2) for 1920x1080 24p, 1080p HD & 2048x1240 24p (2k) - note: films in FCPX are in codec Apple ProRes 4444, Linear PCM?
Very recently I've been working on a show reel and I have imported a file (short film) to snip out a section to add to the show reel.
I set the project to the film's settings i.e.. "set based on first video clip"...(1920x1080 24p, 1080p HD). When I play the film in FCPX the audio "hic-cups"..."dips to silence"..."drops-out" briefly (up to 0.5 secs in duration) and very frequently all the way through (approx 15 mins long film)...note: audio set is at stereo 48kHz. The audio monitors on the right hand side also show the dip taking place (if it's a long enough drop-out).
I also have a version of the film in 2048x1240 24p at 2k, again Stereo 48kHz...and this does the same audio "drop-out" all the way through. I'm unsure what other formats will create this problem i.e. higher or lower aspect ratios than those above.
Is this a software and/or OS issue? Or a hardware issue? Or both!?
About This iMac details:
iMac 27 inch: OS X ver 10.9.4
Processor: 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7

Fusion Drive 3.12 TB
Final Cut Pro X was bought & installed with this iMac back in Feb 2014
FCPX version: 10.1.2
Note also: I used Compressor (ver 4.1.2) to convert the files (movies) above to Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Linear PCM and the issue disappeared - the audio and visuals played with no problems. All films play with no issue when opened in QT player. They are also fine when exporting from FCPX. The issue only occurs (as far as I can tell) within FCPX when editing or playing the audio there.
Has anyone encountered this problem?
Kind Regards,
Hakan

Hi Luis,
Thank you for that.
Seems like you have a point about the "hardware" issue. I'm unsure (new to it all) at what data rate my (er...wonderful) fusion drive provides FCPX for smooth playback - or where I can find that info on the iMac. Playing back movies in the 422 HQ codec seems to have no issues (when I converted the movie from 4444 HQ).
But playing the full 4444 HQ, the picture is smooth, but the audio has these drop-outs - even with "best performance" option ticked. Interesting that the audio suffers, not the picture in FCPX - so not sure what's going on there. I also read - perhaps - that to play a smooth ProRes 4444 HQ movie in FCPX the data rate should be min of 500 Mbs (based upon About Apple ProRes) for HD movies and up (i.e. 2k). ProRes 422 HQ needs a data rate of 220 Mbs - so that is my upper-limit to smooth video&audio playback with the current system I have, I guess.
Does anyone recommend a fast USB3 or Thunderbolt drive (500Mbs+) where I am able to run 4444HQ movies with no issues to picture or sound (away from the fusion drive)?

Audio drops out when following video to external monitor

When I play a sequence to an external monitor, the audio drops out for 2 to 3 seconds after changes on the video track, and then pops back in with no interuption in video output. It doesn't happen at every cut, but it's consistent in the places it does. I thought it might be caused by the size the project has become. So I exported the sequence as a quicktime file, closed the lage project, opened a new one and exported the new file and played it and it happened again, even though there were no edits. It doesn't occur at all when I turn off external video, and play it on the computer. I connected a new firewire from the computer to my DV deck, restarted the computer, but it keeps happening.
Is it that the dramatic change in color, light and compostion crowding out the audios ability to follow the video through the wire?
I'm completely stumped. The next step will be to open the computer and try to blow any excess dust out. I do this periodically anyway, and my last time was two months ago, so I'd be surprised if it works.
Maybe the G4 with 2G processing power can no longer handle the program, but it shows no sign of stuggle in any other way.
My clients are starting to grow restless.

Thank you so much X & Paul, for your suggestions. Although they didn't solve the problem, they kept me hopeful enough to continue my quest for an answer. After exhausting all effort to find the problem in the audio, I decided to focus on the video. So, I tried correcting the excess luma on the consolidated QT movie, and suddenly the problem was fixed. Because of the different levels of correction I'd need for each and every cut in the original sequence, and the precious time it would take, I'd planned to save it for the color correction stage, a mere 2 weeks away. I remembered how illegal white would often cause the image on some monitors, specifically consumer TVs, to waver for a second. But this was happening all the way back to the DV deck's audio meter, so I never expected it to be a luma issue.
I assume that the outdating capacity of my G4 played a part, but I wanted to write back with my thanks, and to impart my illuminated wisdom to the next perplexed soul.
Thanks again,

Optical audio drops out intermittently

Hi
Weird problem has been occurring for the past couple of weeks. Optical audio drops out intermittently, for about 1.5 seconds. Playback isn't affected. Analogue audio is fine. MBP is connected to a Bose V20 sound system.
Any thoughts?

Preview Files Suddenly Go Missing, Render Entire Work Area Crashes Premiere, Audio Drops Out

I opened a Premiere Pro project I was working on earlier today and it said it couldn't find the preview files, searching my system found that the files didn't exist.
Rendering my entire work area brings up the "render window" but nothing happens, if I press cancel Premiere freezes.
Started getting a strange situation error ( 26 ::139 ) in After Effects at the same time that Premiere lost the preview files and the crashes started happening. It disallows me from editing any dynamically linked projects. In Premiere the DL's just show up as "Media Pending" clips indefinitely. Importing the compositions in AE into a new project didn't fix the issue either.
The three problems above started happening all at the same time, was working through a color grade using Red Giant software when it started happening.
Also audio drops out on playback randomly in Premiere Pro, tried various audio drivers and hardware, none entirely eliminate this problem. Sometimes the audio will cut out and "burst in" distorted very loudly, which is disturbing, even when my work area is rendered. This problem has been around since I started using PP CC.
I can provide more info soon or if people want more info pls let me know, I'm very tired and I need to get this issue resolved for tomorrow, in the mean time hopefully someone can point out a general fix for these errors or knows a few workarounds. Tried reinstalling PP and AE, no luck.
Computer is a Windows 7, 64-bit. i7 950, 12gb RAM, GeForce GTX 650, programs installed on a separate internal HDD, media files on another internal HDD. But these same issues (minus the audio dropouts) was also cropping up on a core 2 duo 13'' macbook pro.
Regards,
Zach

Hi Arjun, thank you for your help.
Though that didn't work either. At least the timeline will playback but as soon as I try to render my work region or export any video Premiere freezes.
I removed all dynamic linked files as well, that didn't seem to change anything.
Something I noticed -- the render bar on the timeline that is usually yellow for edited clips that have no FX on them is all red, nothing is yellow (or green). This is a 4 minute long edit on a music video, nothing extraordinary.
I tried creating a new project and dragging a few clips in and editing them, everything went normally and I could render and export the clips. Just any rendering done on any version of this music video edit I'm working on crashes the program.
Also recently had a problem where I opened the music video project and the song that I imported (.mp3) all of a sudden has no waveform or sound coming from it. Dragging it back into the project doesn't fix it either. Workaround was using a .wav copy of the song.

Audio drops out randomly in FCP5

Hello,
I'm running FCP 5.0.4 on a G5 OSX 10.3.9 and a AJA io LA with current firmware v1.1 and driver v2.1.
When playing a sequence, audio will be fine. Going from AJA through mixer, to speakers and decks. Then the audio will cut ot completely, but video will continue to play. The meters in FCP show the audio is there, but nothing is getting to the mixer, and therefore nothing is getting onto tape, or coming out of my speakers. This problem occurs in every project we've worked with, and doesn't happen at the same point in the sequence. Any ideas? I'm not sure what other info might be useful, so please request more if you have any ideas. Thank you for your time.

Hi all -- I've experienced this problem on a number of projects, one tonight prompted me to check the forum. I used one of the work-arounds and want to report on it, in case it works for someone else or someone with the FCP development team is reading.
My timeline would drop the audio at a repeatable point each time. If I nested the sequence in another sequence, the audio would play but would have a nasty discontinuity right at the frame where the audio drops out in the original sequence.
I used the transparent video slug work-around and it worked (create a slug, set its transparency to zero and place it over the spot where the audio drops out). This occured twice in my timeline. Both times I had used a certain video clip. I had to stretch the slug to exactly match the duration of the offending video clip in order to keep the audio from dropping out.
This sounds like a bug that should be repeatable and fixed. If anyone with FCP development team wants my project, I would be glad to send it to them on a DVD for investigation. I'm running FCP 5.0.3 on a G5 dual 2.7GHz with an internal SATA drive, so it probably isn't a machine speed issue. (I tried the re-render trick and that didn't work and if I remove the slug or change its duration to anything less than the duration of the offending video clip, the audio drops out again.)

Audio Drops Out at End of Imported Clips

Hi, Guys,
I have read everything and tried everything, but I can't find a solution to something which seems like it should be obvious:
I am in the process of uploading some TV programs to YouTube. I am using iMovie '11 to cut them into chunks of less than 15 minutes each. When I import the material into iMovie from a file, iMovie automatically breaks the source material into ~5 minute clips. For some reason, the sound for the last half-second or so at the end of each clip is automatically muted by the import process. Needless to say when I cut the clips back together in an attempt to recreate the video stream as it originally was, there is a half-second of audio drop-out marking the spot where the clips are welded together.
How can I get this to stop???
I notice that the advertising makes a big point of 'iMovie HD' allowing the user to adjust the length of the clips that it cuts source material into during import. Please tell me this is not a work-around for this problem 10 years after-the-fact!
Thank you.

I used to have a saying which I applied to John Cage's compositions:
"He's got nothing to say, and he's saying it. And that's BS."
Faceless capricious corporate censorship is good HOW?
As regards iMovie '11 muting a short bit of audio from the ends of clips, it turns out to be the beginnings of the clips:
My prior post uncovered a very different problem in my process. (At the time, a virtually non-existent process!)
Now I have learned my up the learning curve to the point where I am beginning to actually use some of the functionality in iMovie '11. Unfortunately my original observation of "a bit of sound" (50 to 100 milliseconds) disappearing between clips is still a problem. Here are 3 minimalist examples in the form of short test vids: {Just click "Play all". Titles projected over the vid list what you are hearing. The "about box" (YouTube "Description:" field) contains even more detail.}
http://www.youtube.com/viewplaylist?p=7E219251FC3C5FEC
I can now characterize this problem in more detail than I could previously:
The first 50 - 100 milliseconds of sound are squelched in the beginning of a clip when it is uploaded to YouTube from iMovie. This is NOT a YouTube transcoder issue. Reloading multiple copies of the same clip into iMovie yield the same result there: Dead sound between clips.
This demonstrates that iMovie chops the first ~50 milliseconds of audio off of the beginning of a vid when it "shares" (exports) it. Apparently the missing audio in some way becomes an "attribute"of the clip (like a crossfade transition that you can't remove from the beginning!), because attempts to trim the squelched audio off of the beginning of the clip meet with failure; the "bad leading edge" stays with the clip, even after the apparently offending segment has intentionally been discarded.
I checked the audio gaps with Audition, and, while I was guessing 50 - 100 ms, it turns out to be exactly 52 milliseconds of audio is squelched at the beginning of a clip. (I tried to display the image of the spectral & time-domain response here, but I can't figure out how to upload TIFFs into this forum.)
I am sure this must be the result of some simple default setting in iMovie which automatically adds a "style" or something to my vid clips upon export, but I have tried everything I can find, and, if it is, I haven't managed to reliably turn if off yet.
N.B. if I remain inside an iMovie editing session, and paste pieces together into clips without exporting the clip, or interrupting the session (as I did to produce the test vids), everything is fine. But as soon as I save a clip, the first 52 ms of audio seems to irrecoverably disappear. That continues to hold true no matter which frame in the clip subsequently becomes the new beginning.
Please forgive my iMovie newbie ignorance, but: How do I get it to STOP???
Thank you.

Audio drops out while video continues to play just after making a cut!

I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro for a few months now and I use it to edit my YouTube gameplay videos. Here is everything I am doing in Adobe Pr:
1. Create new project
2. import my raw gameplay video (m2ts file)
3. import my wave sound file (my commentary)
4. Put them on the time line and play the video (it works then)
5. make a cut somewhere and the GAMEPLAY audio drops out not the video or my commentary.
The same thing happens in Adobe Premiere Elements as well. Should I convert my m2ts files to MP4 or AVI or something??? Please help

Last week, this song played fine on the burned copy.
Is this problem now showing up in the iDVD preview mode? Or is it with subsequent burned DVD's?
Go back to your project in iDVD. Go to File>Save as disk image. This will create a file that can be viewed on your computer's DVD player. The disk image will show you how your project will appear when played on a standard DVD player. See if this problem is repeated. If everything is fine, go ahead and burn the DVD using Disk Utility.
I hope this helps.

ITunes scratchy he||...with audio drop outs

I use iTunes v7.4.2 all the time to play music. Only lately my iTunes has been sounding very intermittently scratchy (static-y) and the audio drops out (without the diamond moving) at unexpected intervals (anywhere from 10 sec to several minutes). When I try to hit the volume buttons, I don't get any feedback sounds like usual. Waiting it out seems to be the only remedy...then it comes back again, and again...
I use MenuMeters to monitor my CPU and bandwidth speed and so I notice that this happens most when I am downloading torrents. Very frustrating! Curiously, I tried running a bootable clone of my system on a separate drive and I found that the problem went away (I'd have to run it for longer to be sure though). Could this be a sign of imminent hard drive failure?
Has anyone else experienced these issues? Does it sound like a hardware or software issue?
Thanks for any replies,
-Bill

Video playback slow and audio drop out after render

Hi
I have downloaded a trial version of After Effects from the cc,
Problem is everytime I render ou,t the video playback is slow and the audio drops out
This happens with AVI or Quicktime files.
Using a Intel i5 quad core, 8 gig of ram 250 gig ssd.laptop
Render/export in Premire pro is fine.
Can any one help.
Regards Phil Green
Blue Room Media.

It sounds like you might be hitting the space bar in hopes of getting real time playback. Sorry, but AE doesn't work like that, because it does totally different things from an editing application like Premiere.
And if you've downloaded the tryout version, you really ought to learn how AE works... and a short description is "it doesn't work intuitively". You can frustrate yourself in a hurry.
But this can really help;

Static and audio drops out

I am not sure if I am in the right Discussion area. If not, please advise where to post. After having work done (new mother board and power supply) on my iMac I heard a static or scratchy noise in the lower right side behind my screen while listening to iTunes the week after I got the machine back. Some songs(with more treble) were worse than others. My parents and I iChat every Sunday. The static now interferes with our iChats and the audio drops out and then will come back. They hear it more on their end than I do on mine. I tried turning the speakers way over to the left and that did help some when listening to iTunes, hulu but, not the iChat problem. My question is - do you suppose it is my speakers rather than another issue such as bandwidth or setting elsewhere? And if I were to buy external speakers would those then just amplify the existing issue? The computer on the other end is an iMac running snow leopard. Could it be that the microphone wasn't put back in correctly during my last repair?

Hi paperchase
That kind of sounds like the right internal speaker is bad or loose and the Internal Mic is picking up on the noise from it.
One thing to try before committing to a 2.0 or 2.1 External Speaker System, is to test the iMac's external output sound with iPod buds or a set of headphones. That at least will give you a better idea if the problem is with the right internal speaker or something worse like the sound card.
Likewise if the repair work was recent, then perhaps you should contact the service provider and report that it came back with an intermittent or rattling right speaker.

My audio drops out randomly, hers is occasionally ...

For the past year I have frequently used Skype on my Android phone (Nexus 5) to talk to my fiancee on her Windows 8.1 laptop. We do so from our respective homes, so we're both on WiFi to a solid Internet connection (DSL in my case, cable Internet in hers). I'm using the latest Android Skype client (5.0.0.55107) and she's using the latest Windows 8.1 Skype client (6.21.0.104). Ever since the Android 5.0 (Lollipop) update, my audio keeps dropping on her end for no apparent reason.
This happens at random but frequent intervals and for short durations (ca. 30 seconds per episode). It is absolutely maddening. Even though she hasn't changed anything on her Windows 8.1 laptop, and I've reinstalled Skype on my Nexus 5, my audio drops out some of the time during every single call. This happens very often during a call. It's to the point that I can't even open my mouth without expecting that my audio will drop out in the middle of what I'm saying, so that I end up having to repeat myself. If I'm really frustrated, I'll just type what I was going to say.
On the first few calls after my Nexus 5 received the Lollipop update, her audio would also sometimes drop out. We had to hang up and reestablish the call for her audio to come back on my end. Since then, we haven't had that particular problem, but sometimes her voice is garbled - as if I'm only hearing every other syllable - even though she's speaking directly at the microphone. Both systems (phone and laptop) are up to date, latest drivers, latest Skype, etc.
Given that she hasn't changed anything at all on her end, it's rather clear that the latest Skype for Android has a problem. TL;DR: I appear to be "muted" to other caller at random, even though I'm not muting myself, and her voice is occasionally garbled. It happens over and over again during a call, without warning.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately, although my audio is no longer dropping out, we have been unable to use Skype for the last couple of days.
Last night, I could neither receive nor make Skype calls using my phone. If she called, it would only ring on my desktop PC. If I called her, it never rang on her end, and would either ring once or not at all (i.e. the sound effect I normally hear when calling didn't play) and would simply "fail" for no apparent reason.
Skype on my laptop doesn't work well, because there is almost always a problem with my audio being replaced with a "white noise" type sound on her end at random intervals and durations.
So, we had to use Google Hangouts video chat last night. It doesn't work that well either; frequently, there is an absolutely terrible audio feedback/echo problem.
I hope Skype can be made to work again on my phone. I've given up hope of it ever working 100% on my laptop, but I'd rather use it on my phone anyway, as it's far more portable.
