Audio drops every few seconds?

I have a sisco box, and tonight its starting to drop the audio every few seconds. Kind of like its a skip.
I reset the box and all that and its still doing it, does this mean I need a new box?

This is rarely an issue with the box. Its either an issue with the channel, the signal leading to the box, or the signal between the box and his TV. Is this still happening? If so, is it happening on other channels as well? Please let us know so we can assist further.

  • Movies played in DivX player audio glitching every few seconds?

    I have an MBP & I've noticed that everytime I watch a video/movie w/ DivX Player the movie will glitch every few seconds. DivX Player is my preferred program to watch movies/videos, so I haven't checked to see if it's also doing it w/ Quicktime etc.
    Any ideas?

    If this were happening to me, I would try to narrow down the source of the problem by seeing if the problem persists by (1) logging in as a different user (e.g., Guest) and (2) starting up in Safe Mode.  (1) Helps identify problems specific to your account, e.g., login items, preference files, etc.,  (2) helps identify third-party system-level conflicts.
    If you can get to it, you might try trashing Finder preferences at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist.  You could do this with Terminal. Also, try dumping Sophos. 

  • Why does my wifi connection keep dropping every few seconds

    my new mac air is only a week old - it was working perfectly til yesterday now it won't hold a wireless connection.  won't even hold with an ethernet connection to mobile phone.

        I regret to learn of the issues, funeralguy77! Lets figure it out together. Can you try to connect another device to the same WiFi connection. Does it connect? Have you tried to delete/forget the connection and trying again?
    Please share additional details so that we can help!
    Thank you,

  • Can hear audio, but video blacks out every few seconds; picture comes back when we hit the tv's volume button

    We can hear audio, but video blacks out every few seconds; picture comes back when we hit the tv's volume button. Everything seems to be plugged in well. The picture even starts out being sort of dim. And it goes through phases of working fine but then will randomly start blacking out again.  Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Have you tried turning the TV off and on again.

  • Bluetooth Audio sound cuts every few seconds

    Hi,
    The title pretty much expains all. Everything else works with my BT headset. Pairing is okay and I can hear the  sound from headset but ithe audio cuts on and off every few seconds. So the bluetooth audio is useless.
    I have  upgraded several times the driver. I even changed the BT adapter (the HW), but still same.
    Laptop is Elitebook 2350p 
    OS is Win 7

    Your notebook is an Enterprise/Business model. I would recommend posting this in the HP Enterprise Support Forums for better coverage.
    You can access the enterprise support forums at the following link.
    http://h30499.www3.hp.com/
    However, my own personal opinion is there might be an issue with the headset, not the hardware/software on the notebook. You mentioned even changing the bluetooth hardware and the issue remained, which leads me to believe it might have to do with the headset and Windows 7. Have you tried another headset on this notebook to see if the issue was the same?

  • How can I place markers on audio to BPM/every few seconds?

    Hey guys,
    I'm doin' music and animation, but I want to place markers every few seconds, or consistently to the bpm. It would save me a WHOLE not lot, but ton, of time.
    Thanks!

    Highlight the audio layer.  Don't use mp3 audio.  Do an audio preview with the decimal point key on the numeric keypad.  Don't use mp3 audio.  Hit the asterisk key on the numeric keypad where you want a marker.  Don't use mp3 audio.  Change the duration of audio previewing in AE preferences if necessary.  Don't use mp3 audio.
    You'll want to listen very closely several times to figure out where in the music you want those markers to go BEFORE you do it for real.  It can be a real pain to slide a boatload of layer markers off the layer if you make massive mistakes.

  • MacBook Pro freezes every few seconds

    Hi All,
    My two year old MacBook Pro started freezing randomly one day. It happens with any application that I have open (Safari, Word, Finder), I get the beach ball every few seconds for any operation I try doing. When the cursor comes back I have seen spikes of CPU usage and the relevant program also shows as 'Not Responding'.
    I have tried everything, PRAM/SMC resetting, hardware test, disk repair etc. The latest being a clean install of Mavercks. It was fine for a few hours until it started freezing again like before. I made sure not to install much and didn't even copy my backup over yet.  Here is my EtreCheck output, can someone please HELP!!

  • My macbook pro freezes every few seconds

    Hi everyone!
    About a week ago my MBP started freezing every few seconds showing the well known spinning beach balls every time, even when running no apps, I've sepnt plenty of time looking for a solution, I've read this problem might be due to a physically damaged hard drive, bt I've tested it several times using different apps and it shows no error, I've read from another discussion about Etrecheck as a useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem, so I hope some of you guys can help me checking the log output.

  • IPod Touch 3G loses wifi every few seconds

    I just purchased a new Touch 3G last night, and every few seconds it loses the wifi connection and reconnects. It does this over and over again consistently. When i go into wifi settings, i can actually see the settings for my wireless disappear, then reappear with a check mark beside it, every few seconds.
    I've tried changing broadcast channel in router, from mixed to non-mixed G, resetting the router and iTouch, and release/renew. My laptop and desktop are connecting fine with the wireless, so i assume the issue is with the iTouch.
    3.1.1 OS

    Just recently purchased and mine does the same exact thing. Mine seems to show a strong 3 bar connection while in the WiFi settings menu. When I back out to Home, the signal indicator suddenly drops to one bar and will flucuate to 2 or 1 bar. I have done all the tricks mentioned here with my router as well. But in my home I use assigned static IP's. Every setting is correct on the iPod Touch's menu. Im lost as to why it does that.

  • Mouse sputters every few seconds

    I just got a brand new customized Mac Pro direct from Apple. Every few seconds, there is a delay in mouse input, but instead of just stopping, the cursor "jumps" across the screen. This would normally not be a huge problem, but in intricate tasks like 3D art or gaming, it's an incredibly serious issue. I've tried a wireless USB mouse, a wired USB mouse, the "Magic Mouse", and several different mousepads. It happens regardless of whether I'm connected to the internet. How can I figure out what the problem is? Does this issue affect anyone else?
    SPECS
    Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 3.2 GHz
    6 GB RAM
    Thanks in advance...I really need this fixed soon.

    After some troubleshooting I have determined that the monitor was causing the issue.
    Running Activity Monitor showed me that on systems that were experiencing the mouse lag the "kernel_task" process would fluctuate between 7 and 14 percent. On systems that were not experiencing the lag the "kernel_task" would max at about 6 percent but usually was settled in below 1 percent.
    A co-worker and I began disconnecting devices and watching the "kernel_task" cpu usage. When we disconnected the monitor I observed the computer with ARD and noticed that "kernel_task" dropped to a sub 1% range. When we reconnected the monitor it shot back up.
    We swapped the monitor with one that was connected to a system not experiencing the issue. Once we connected the monitors to their new systems BOTH systems were stable. This led us to power. We determined that turning the monitor off and back on did not help the issue, but actually disconnecting the power from the monitor did restore "kernel_task" to a happy, stable state. This solution has now been repeated on the remaining symptomatic computers and it "fixed" all of them (not sure if it is a permanent fix or if this is going to reoccur)

  • Re: NB550D - Speaker crackle every few seconds

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me!
    Whenever I use the speakers (particularly for iTunes, music and youtube) they crackle every few seconds. The audio can't seem to keep up with the video. I've tried to adjust the speaker settings and download an updated driver (the driver doesn't want to download and has frozen part way through half a dozen times). I'm not sure what else to try but I got this particular netbook because of the reviews of the speakers and it's capacity. I think the problem is probably user related!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    Ok. Thanks everyone here are my responses to your questions
    I am using the operating system that was on the computer when I got it. It is 32 bit windows 7 starter
    I have tried headphones and there is the same problem with the speakers
    I have tried a number of times to update the driver, I was finally able to download it but was told that there was an error and it wouldn't run.
    The internet speed is the fastest I can get and I don't have the same problem with my PC or larger laptop, with either the video/audio or the speakers. The iTunes files are all downloaded and not streamed so the internet speed shouldn't affect the playback.
    I'll try to download the driver again and look into updating the codecs and let you all know!
    Thanks very much for your help!

  • 2.2.1 update and now error message every few seconds

    Did the update this morning. All went fine. I have never used airplane mode. So phone was not in it.
    Now all I get every few seconds on the phone, even while in sleep mode, and it wakes the screen is message:
    This accessory is not made to work with iphone. Would I like to turn on Airplane mode to eliminate audio interference etc… Yes/No
    If I do nothing the message goes away and the iphone goes back to sleep.
    I tried selecting yes. It put phone into airplane mode. But message stills comes up. Same thing when I selected No.
    This error comes up every 30 seconds or so. I have tried hard restarting the iPhone hold down Home and top button until iPhone shuts down. This didn't do anything.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    This is very weird. You can always restore the phone again in iTunes. If you have proper backups (pics, contacts, music, apps), after restoring, set it up as a new phone so there is no potentially corrupted backup getting on there. See if that works. If not, take it to the Apple Store and have them look at it.

  • Playback Freezes Briefly Every Few Seconds? The Solution!

    This may be of help to anyone who experiences jerky playback.
    I exported a video to quicktime and when played back it froze briefly every few seconds as though it were dropping frames.
    When I viewed the video in the Canvas it was also behaving the same, although it has been perfect for the past couple of weeks.
    To cut a long story short, I remembered that a month or so ago I had problems with the Genie effect minimising windows jerkily.
    At that time, I discovered that you can cure it by logging out and then back in. I believe it is something to do with refreshing the desktop/finder.
    Anyway it cured my jerky playback a well, this morning!
    As to why my desktop/finder needs the occasional "refresh", it could be connected with the 3 dozen or more separate items I usually have on my desktop plus the 50 items in the dock!

    Thanks for that suggestion Sasha, though this is the first time I have ever had that type of jerky playback, so I am hoping it won't occur again for a very long time.
    I actually deleted the QT video thinking it was defective until I went back and watched the video in the Canvas plus several other old QT videos which all behaved the same way!
    The avatar is to reflect that I am now using Shake . . . . . well, at least floundering on the first chapter of the APTS book . . . . so it may well be changed again in the near future!

  • Firefox is locking up VERY frequently after every few seconds unless I minimize the window and maximize it again. But then in a few seconds it locks up again, unable to click anything or DO anything

    Firefox is locking up VERY frequently after every few seconds unless I minimize the window and maximize it again. But then in a few seconds it locks up again, I am unable to click anything or DO anything and it is becoming extremely annoying! Ya'll just released a new version that I'd hoped would have fixed this issue, apparently not...and I also can't select an option in a drop down box, I have to use my keyboard to do so...
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Yeah I'm seeing this as well. A force quit and relaunch seems to solve the problem for a while.
    IMHO the app has just gone downhill in the last few years. Useful tools like browser history from the back button are hidden / rendered useless (click and hold doesn't work so well from a track pad), and it's performance just isn't what it used to be.

  • Imovie choppy when importing a vhs tape, stops importing every few seconds

    Hi, I'm importing a bunch of homemovies into imovie for a christmas present for my parents and I've run into a few problems. I've successfully done several vhs tapes using my powerbook, a new sony vcr and a dac-100, but for some reason I am having trouble with this tape. It imported fine for about 40 minutes and then it started showing static. Every few seconds static would fill the screen and imovie would stop importing and cut that part out completely, including audio. When I watched the tape on TV it had the same static but you could still hear all of the audio. Anyway, since the static is probably a problem with the tape, I just want to figure out if there's a way that i could get imovie to import straight through the static so you can at least hear the audio smoothly?
    If that's not explained very well let me know, or I can provide more detail. I'm new at this, so if anyone can help me I would really really appreciate it. Thanks!
    Powerbook G4    

    Hi jag7423:
    You probably won't be able to seperate the static from the audio but you can try. Import the video and then select Advanced / Extract Audio. Then delete the video and see if the static noise remains.
    Like I said it is probably a long shot.
    SoundSoap is a program that helps reduce some background noises but i don't know if it will help here.
