Audio dropping out, but video fine. Please help!

For the past week or so i've been having this issue where after so many minutes of watching tv the audio will cut out from that channel, but the video will remain the same. If I change the channel the audio is fine, but eventually it will cut out. I then can go to a THIRD channel and, sure enough, sound will drop eventually. It's not the TV because I was watching DVDs all day and it was perfectly fine. I don't have surround sound, it's not hooked through a receiver or anything else fancy. It's just a straight connection from the box to the TV via an HDMI cable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That might be fixed by doing the following
There is a special setup menu that you can enter, that is NOT part of the regular set to box menu settings. To get there:
Power off the Set top box -> Select -> Menu.
On STB's with no select or menu buttons, on the remote press STB Power OFF -> OK -> Menu.
You will see a white screen and an all text menu called USER SETTINGS. Use the arrow keys to move around.
Scroll down to a line that says "ADDITIONAL HDMI SETTINGS" and hit a right arrow to get into the next level of the menu
There is a sound setting called AUDIO OUTPUT It says AUTO Scroll to it and change it to L-PCM.
Exit out of the menus, power the unit off and power it on again

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.

Audio dropping out on videos

my daughters toshiba laptop will play videos but the sound keeps dropping out and the only remedy she has is to refresh the page, whereupon the audio resumes exactly where it left off.This doesn't solve the problem,however,and she is getting heartily sick of spending hours watching a dislocated short video.Any help would be appreciated.This has been happening for months...she is a patient person.

Moved to the Using Flash Player forum as this is not specific to the latest Flash Player beta. Someone here will be able to help you, but I'll get you started.
We'll need some additional information in order to figure out what is going on. There are a lot of possible reasons that this might be happening. Complete answers to the questions and troubleshooting steps below will allow us to isloate the root-cause (and there's a good chance you'll end up fixing it as you work through the steps).
Basic Troubleshooting Info
To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
- Operating system
- Browser
- Flash Player version - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
The first step is to work through the video troubleshooting guide for your operating system, here:
- Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html
- Mac - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.htm
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
- Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Windows_users
- Mac - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Mac_OS_users
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify this by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the menu.

Airtunes: Audio drops out, but song file is still playing

Ive had a recurring problem that is getting worse, when using airtunes within my home.
I will be playing a playlist, or just a row of songs, & it will start fine.
Then, when a song completes (and only when it completes, not in the middle), & the next song is supposed to start, there is no audio.
BUT: the song will show it is playing (track time increasing) within itunes.
If I pause the song & hit play again, the audio comes through.
This does not happen between all songs, but will drop off fairly regularly (sometimes after multiple songs).
There is no intermitent dropouts, just the exact way I described above.
I have several airport expresses set up to distribute audio in my home.
Given the way the problem occurs, Im assuming its a software problem & not hardware or wifi, ie: its a uniform problem, not intermitent or something that would appear to be a "connection problem".
Very annoying. No updates to hardware or software have helped.
Any similar problems & answers out there?

have the same problem. Been maddening. I did play with the MTUs a few weeks ago. That seemed to work, moving the MTUs of my NAS and Mini to Jumbo 9000. Only later my printer on the same ethernet network killed the network (non jumbo support). I don't know what to do -- very frustrating, especially since the only thing to stream flawlessly are internet radio stations.
My setup:
1) Airport Extreme - DHCP, NAT
2) Gig Ethernet to NAS (iTunes Music), Mini (iTunes App and library files)
3) Playback to Airport Express from iTunes using AirTunes (wifi)
Music drops for 3-4 songs ...though song itself is playing. I hit pause and it plays without any problem. AE appears to be 2010/11 version. 8.02.11N, but not 5ghz new version.
Driving me nuts.

Importing a recorded Skype call into Premiere Pro & audio goes out of sync. PLEASE help!

Every time I try and import a clip it gets out of sync, but if I open the file in quicktime its perfect???

(Not sure why this response was originally rejected by the moderators, but am trying again.)
A solution that worked for us:
[EDIT] I do NOT work for any of the companies included in this solution, nor do I receive any kind of renumeration from them. I am recording the software and steps we used to overcome the problem of the original poster.[END EDIT]
The Skype Call Recorder (Ecamm) has 4 built-in converter/splitter apps (you have to look in the "Movie Files" folder to find them). We used the apps to split the recorded Skype video calls into 2 separate "conversations" and then used a free online converter (http://www.online-convert.com/) to convert the conversations into MP4s. Once the MP4s were imported into Adobe Premiere the audio lined up perfectly with the video.
Hope this helps somebody.

Audio drops out of movie but not menu

I have an iMovie that I burned to disc successfully via iDVD. Then, I went back to the movie, made one small text change to a title page, resaved, and tried to burn again. Since then, I have lost the audio every time I try and burn the DVD again.
What's odd is that the movie audio drops out, but the menu audio is still there. Also, when I 'preview' the movie in iDVD, the audio is working just fine. I have five songs in the movie.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much!
(These are iMovie 6 and iDVD 6 btw.)
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2.1 GHz, 512 MB Memory

After you made the change in iMovie, did iDVD ask you to update the project?
First go to iMovie and "extract audio" This is often a catch-all for some audio issues. Close iMovie.
Then go back to iDVD, open the project - if iDVD asks (and it should) choose "update" Then "delete encoded assets"
Then use "Save as Disk Image". This will do everything but burn your DVD - it will save the encoded project to a .img file. After iDVD is finished encoding, double click on the .img file, and it will mount like a drive. Use the DVD player application (it may launch on its own) to view the image.
If this .img file has good audio, then burn the image with Disk Utility (in your Applications/utiltiies folder - see Disk Utility help for how to burn the .img file)
If this still has audio that drops out, I'd suggest building a new iDVD project with the edited move.

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;

HELP! Audio Drops Out When Trying to Capture Canon XL2 Footage

Please help me out here. I'm a freelance camera operator w/ a Canon XL2 and several times now I've gotten calls from the editors saying they're having problems logging my footage, mainly the audio drops out quite a bit, and I'm not talking bout one second for every 2 or 3 minutes. No. It's like every 10 seconds the audio drops in and out.
What's the deal? Two times the guy was using a Panasonic DVX-100A to capture, another time it was a SONY DSR mini-DV deck. With each incident I had to go over with my XL2 and use it as the capture device, which is a pain.
The program they're using is FCP HD or 5. But I think even when they just play the tape in their Sony or Pany cameras, the audio may still suck.
Help me out here, I can't be the only one with this problem.
Thanks.
-R

Well Robert Swanson, I hope my post wasn't taken offensively, it certainly wasn't meant as such. The only Canon camcorder I owned was the GL1. After switching to Sony's I can honestly say it would take something significant to go back. And, I was merely relating my experiences in trying to capture from other Canon camcorders so that I know where you are coming from. However, I am interested in the HVX being the "noisest" camera on the market. I am seriously considering this camera and would be interested in a review that points this out. I would be using the hard drive recorder instead of P2 cards.

Video & Audio Drop Outs on Macbook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro with Version 10.7.3, 6 months old. Just recently when I play video, regardless of whether it's in iTunes, iMovie, or embedded in Keynote the video sticks, audio drops out for 1 -2 seconds or the shot freezes. What causes this and how is it fixed.

I apologize for the audio drop outs. I have sent you a private message to get account information from you so we can reprogram your boxes.

Error Code EF01, Video and Digital Audio Dropping out

To whom it concerns,
A customer of mine is having problems with his Fios DVR. He will be watching TV through his Integra DTR 40.3 receiver, connected via HDMI cable and his picture and audio will just stop. This is always accompanied by a code that displays on the front panel of the DVR which reads EF01. The customer is usually able to restore picture and audio by performing a power cycle on both the AV receiver and the Fios Box.
There have been numerous occasions of this problem occurring. Sometimes it happens quite frequently, (once every 10 min) other times much more infrequently. Also the problems vary in their severety. Sometimes just the digital audio will drop out but the pitcure will remain. Other times the picture and audio will go out and they will damage the HDMi input that the Fios box is connected to, rendering it unusable. We have since repaired the Integra recevier twice. This last repair we haven't had an incident for 3 months, now we are back to losine Audio and Video.
The customer initially had the Fios DVR replaced, but as the incidents kept happening, we tried repairing and replacing the AV receiver. I keep coming back to that error code because I don't know what it means and nobody can explain to me if it has any significance or bearing on the problems we are having.
Does anybody know what the EF01 error code indicates on the Fios DVR? Has anyone had problems similar to the one I am describing, regarding HDMI video/audio loss?
Thanks,
Kelly White

Hey, Jared here.
The EF01 error code means that either the CableCard inside the box isn't getting any signal, or the CableCard isn't sending out any signal. A really efficiant way to see exactly what they problem is, is to take the box to a another location where Fios tv works fine.
There are two possible outcomes:
Either the box doesn't work, and is still displaying the EF01 error code. Than the issue is with that box, and I must be replaced.
The other possibility is that the box works fine. The error code goes away, and the box works perfect. If this is the case, we know it is the coax wires coming from ONT (Optical Network Terminal). And a Service Technician is required to come out and address the issue.

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,
jesterhead

Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.

I have exactly the same problem. I have tried almost everything and I am nowhere near an Apple shop as I am working in Africa.
Did you manage to find a solution? Help please if possible. Regards Az
