Audio drops out for about 2 seconds after about 2 hours

Hey folks....I've been renting HD movies, and I've noticed a bit of a pattern. Three times now, at some point just after about two hours the audio drops out for about two seconds. It's not exactly the same time - on one movie it was at 2:02:26 and another it was at 2:04:18. It's only two seconds, so it's really of no consequence. Just now it was during the closing credits (the music). Before, it was that scene in Batman where the two ferries are stalled on the river.
Of course, I would rewind to make sure. I use the optical out.
Anyone else notice this?

Do a hard reset. Hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

Audio drops out for a ½ second about every minute

Hi There,
I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem. I have a 3 G with 3.0. When listening to Bluetooth audio through the SYNC system of my Ford Focus, the audio drops out for a ½ second about every minute. It does this persistently.
Any fixes?

My 3GS seems to have an occasional dropout using A2DP with my Kenwood head unit, but I don't think it ever happened with my 3G (both running OS 3.0). It seems like some kind of a latency issue between the iphone and the head unit.

Audio drops out for a second at the start of the song

I have an 8gb Black Nano 3g. My first time syncing I added songs, video, and photos.
The problem I am having is after selecting a song through cover flow the song will start playing and around the 17 second mark in the song the audio drops for a second then it comes back on and continues playing. At first I thought it was the song file, but it was happening to multiple songs. I also verified the tracks on my computer were fine.
I updated the firmware and Restored the iPod software.
Since my iPod had all of my media wiped out I added back only music and tested it. It worked perfectly, no more audio drops. I listened to it all day just fine. Last night I added some new video clips and photos. Audio drop out problem has now returned.
After work I am going to remove the video files and test it again.
Has anyone else noticed this issue?

Yes I have the same problem, actually I'm guessing everyone has the same issue but everyone hasn't realized yet. Problem occurs just after the the backlight turns off.
After many hours of troubleshooting, I realized the cause is syncing photos.
Tried resetting iPod & and restoring many times, tried different computers (with different new test iTunes/iPhoto libraries), problem occurs with both iLife 2006 & iLife 2008.
Took back to Apple Ginza store in Tokyo for testing and a different iPod nano 8GB 3G has the same issue. Staff believed it was a firmware issue and filed a report. A few days later 1.0.1 firmware was released but still didn't fix the issue.
I have yet to file a bug report with Apple myself.
My screen also seems to be rotated about 1mm.

Audio drops out when scrolling playlists after upgrading new version of 9.2

Hi Folks,
Has anyone noticed an issue when scrolling the playlists in Itunes now that the audio drops out for a second.
I use an external USB audio device by Native Instruments called the Audio Kontrol 1.
I have watched the processes on my PC and when I scroll up and down on the playlist. Something spikes causing audio to not play for a second.
I am hoping to fix this somehow as I do not want to roll back (not even sure if you can). I also have heard with dual core processors that occasionally audio can get stopped as other processes take over where in single core processors everything cued up (any truth to that).
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

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

Audio Drop out @ every 2 seconds

Having issue with the Audio dropping out every @ 2 seconds, indepentant of source (local, sync'd computer and web trailers). Have done factory reset, still doing the same thing. AppleTV is connected to the TV through HDMI connection.

Try turning your tv (not tv) off and on.

Audio Drop Out

No matter how many minutes of audio or photos (believe me I tried from 2 minutes to 25 minutes of audio and 10-150 photos) that I use in DVD 6, the audio drops out for 3 seconds, always about 1 minute before the finale. Is anyone having the same problem.
I tried magic slideshow, all combinations and still...audio drops out.
When I used the 99 photo limit with the fit to audio minutes, nothing like this happened.
If there is a fix, please let me know.
Thank You all

Welcome to discussions, Bob:)
What is the source of the audio where the drop-out occurs? Purchased iTunes?
If so, burn the audio to an audio CD and import from that.
Also, how much free space do you have on the iBook?

Audio drop outs on Apple TV

Recently I have incurred an annoying problem. Every now and then the audio drops out for a second or two; there is no lag in video.
My set up:
iMac conected by ethernet to router (supplied by ISP: PCCW), connected to Apple TV (1st gen).
Apple TV is connected by HDMI to Panasonic Vierra.
I stream from iMac to Apple TV.
The problem is new. Only change is new router; supplied after upgrade to optical fiber broadband.
Any ideas?

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.

Thanks,

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.

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.

Audio dropped out apple tv

Here is my setup:
Main music library on windows vista running latest iTunes.
Apple tv connected wirelessly to network. Connected to a vizio tv via HDMI. And audio connected to fiber optic to stereo.
Also have an original iPad running the remote app to control the music.
I try to use AirPlay to stream music to stereo.
Everything is connected to a d link dual band wireless router.
Problem:
During every song the audio will drop out for 2 seconds. Dropout is random. Sometimes 40 seconds into a song. Sometimes at the end of a song.
I have turned off all of the QOS settings on the router.
And I have tried putting iPad and apple TV on all the different combinations on the 2 bands.
Still seeing the dropout.
I have read different posts and nobody seems to have a good solution.
Ant ideas?

I use appleTV for 90% of my audio listening. I output via the digital on the ATV into my naim hifi and have to say that at the price point it beats without doubt hifi well over ten times the price.
However the analogue audio out is mediocre to say the least. The issues you are having with too much bass in fact is a lack of definition caused by a number of factors.
1. 'Downloaded from other than iTunes' I will assume means you to-rent-ed them. Invariably these are at very low bit rates converted by muppets and therefore will sound dire.
2. Rubbish hifi or worse out of the TV. For the best playback use a dedicated hifi, your TV speakers are not up to the task of TV sound playback let alone music.

Very Brief Audio Drop Out in Sequence

In one particular part of my sequence, I'm experiencing a very brief audio drop out (which effects the entire audio) timeline. For example, I have a clip of a car starting and revving up. Two seconds into that clip, ALL audio drops out for a frame or two and then comes back in again. It sounds like everything in the audio timeline was cut and moved down a few frames (and the playhead is passing over that gap).
At first I thought it was my media clip so I switched it out by deleting it from my bin and capture folder. I recaptured it and used it again. Same thing. As an experiment, I then tried placing some other audio (from another clip) in that same area of the timeline to see if it happened there too. It did. I then made a new sequence and copied and pasted the affected audio and video it in there. Same thing. I never mixed down audio but saw that this was a suggestion on the forums. I tried that but it was still happening.
By the way, when the audio cuts out, ALL TRACKS cut out, so it's just not limited to a certain clip in a certain track.
Would anyone be able to shed some light on this? Is anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks everyone!

_*(SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO POST THIS TWICE) Didn't think the last response went through_.*
Thanks, David. That solution sounds interesting and I'm going to give it a try. I appreciate your quick response, too.
I went back and tried something else, too.
By going to VIEW > EXTERNAL VIDEO > and choosing OFF, I was able to solve the drop out problem. I don't know HOW or even WHY this happened but it seems I can narrow my investigation to my exterior monitor and stereo or my audio/ video card or the actual firewire 800 cable running between the two. I always edit with an external monitor so I've got to jump on this issue quick.
When I turned external viewing back ON again, I got some very weird, garbled audio and static. Turning it off solved the problem. Do you think my video or sound card are going belly up? I have the stock card on my Mac (NVIDIA GT 120).

Just got new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now whenAudio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do?

Just got brand new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now when I p/back a track in logic I get audio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do? Its the same version of logic and all other functions seem fine!

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

Audio briefly drops out for a few seconds

I about half way through a recorded Keynote presentation, the narration audio drops out (goes blank) for a few seconds. It doesn't affect timing.
I've checked the narration file and it's just fine. Narration was done in Garageband. I've re-recorded the presentation again, and it drops out at exactly the same place. The narration was done in one step, so it's not a problem with the method in Garageband.
Keynote 9, v 5.3. 27" iMac, OSX 10.8.5, 16Gb Ram.
Any ideas of how to solve it?
Many thanks,
Bill

Unfortunately 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.

T410 audio drops out after 10 seconds

I have an issue whereby audio drops out on the internal speakers after 10-20 seconds. Adjusting volume or mute/unmute fixes things for another 5 seconds before audio drops out again. Headphones work fine from VGA port! Things I've tried without luck:
1. updating the sound driver
2. updating BIOS
3. reseating battery
4. disabled all enhancements in the speaker properties
5. disabled exclusive mode's "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"
6. there are no "disabled" or "disconnected" devices in sound properties
T410 (model 2522R34)

A cold beer for whoever suggests the correct fix for this!

Does it happen in Safe Mode?
EDIT: Forgot Safe Mode has no audio. Try launching MSCONFIG and disabling stuff in the Startup tab, then rebooting. Or try a bootable Ubuntu LiveCD.
