Audio Garbled Intermittently on HD Box

Changed from old tube TV to HD set and the sound is intermittently garbled. Replaced the "new" TV and the HDMI cable with no improvment. Could it be the box (QIP7100)?

There is a possibility its a problem with the box. It could be the audio settings in the set top box are not set correctly. Powercycling the box by unplugging the power cord is the best start for working out any issues the box may have. In case rebooting the box and checking the audio output in the box settings does not correct this, i have sent you a private message on the matter.

When I import .mts files into Premiere 7 the audio is intermittent?

Good afternoon. I am new to this forum and your help would be appreciated. I have recently purchased a Sony Hard Drive Camcorder X105E and I have done my first filming. When I import the files into Premiere Elements 7 and preview them the audio is intermittent on playback. What am I doing wrong cause I cant figure it out?
Thanks in advance for your answers

OK, on the I/O, you have one, nicely sized, physical HDD. You don't have it partitioned, do you?
With one physical HDD, so many things are happening at the same exact time:
1.) your OS is reading/writing to it
2.) your program is reading/writing to it
3.) your media is being read from it
4.) your OS's Virtual Memory is probably being used, so it's reading/writing to it
The problem is that all of these (plus possibly some other programs/Processes) are fighting to get their data handled at the same time. Each is telling the HDD that it needs the heads in one place on a platter. Same for the next program, and the next. Unfortunately, regardless of the speed of the HDD and the speed of the controller, the heads can only be in one place at one time.
Especially for the Audio (that is more I/O intensive, than the Video usually is - it taxes the CPU much more), you will benefit from more physical HDD's.
I just posed an ARTICLE in the Tips & Tricks sub-forum. It links to two articles by Harm Millard. His article on HDD setup is a gem. Now, it takes things to a professional NLE level, and few are quite ready for that, still the info is good. Much can be extrapolated from his suggestions. Though he lists the ultimate Video editing setup, many concepts can be applied on a smaller scale. You might want to read over the linked articles. They will give you some things to think about.
Also, I just saw an ad for a 1TB WD ATA-300 HDD for US$ 79.00 at Fry's Electronics. While you may need an ATA-100, this shows how far prices have fallen. I've got an ATA-100 1TB, to augment my 4x1TB SATA II's, and it's not that old. I paid US$ 400 for it! Should have waited, but then I've used it for the last year, so all is not lost.
Good luck,

Final Cut 7.0.2/Tascam USB-2, US-144MKII audio output intermittent

Dear folks,
Hello.
I am continuing to have problems with getting sound out of my Tascam USB 2.0 inteface box using Final Cut v 7.0.2, on a Mac Pro 2x2.66 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon, OS10.6.4 .
The interface unit is a Tascam US-144MKII, USB 2.0 Audio/Midi Interface.
I have down loaded its driver. It works fine as the system output and playing back from Quicktime player.
In Final Cut it is fine one moment, sometimes pops and clicks then it goes silent. It is unpredictable and unstable. It is intermittent, not working most of the time. I have refreshed the AV Devices, set audio output in Audio/Video Preferences and tried Sequence settings, as well as restarting the computer.
I am having to go Firewire out to an external deck to get sound out of Final Cut onto my sound system.
Final Cut seems to be the problem.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your time.
Bests,
Peer

I've had limited success across five suites. Running FCP 7.0.3 across all rooms, however I've only been able to get one room functioning in a limited way. It sees MIDI info in the Control Panel indicator and replays some fader level info, however only when stopping and starting FCP. Have been troubleshooting the issue and have downloaded the newest Tascam driver for the FW-1884 (from May 2010). Can get FCP audio output through the monitor bussing on the Tascam, however actual moving-fader still not achieved.
Called Tascam's (LA) help line and they couldn't give me any advice at all (as they would only comment on Logic issues and were unfamiliar with using FCP!)
Any suggestions from anyone?
Thanks.

Audio garbled with 9.0.115.0 for Win XP Pro

Using Win XP Pro and IE7, Audio is garbled in some Camtasia
Studio productions with 9.0.115.0 that still play just fine with
9.0.47.0 installed on a laptop.
Steps taken:
1. Have updated Driver, Realtek AC97 Audio, (ALCXWDM.SYS,
version 5.10.0000.6270, date, 10/26/2007).
2. Installed K-Lite Codec Pack 357 Full.
3. Ran CCleaner and cleared cache for Adobe Flash Player.
4. Affirmed configuration is set for Desktop Stereo.
5. Secured all Audio Cables.
6. Tried to re-install 9.047.0 by uninstalling 9.0.115.0 and
running the archived flashplayer9r47_winax.exe, but the installer
would not run after giving me a popup advising of a newer version
available for download that was recommended as more secure by
Adobe.
SUMMARY: Some audio remains ungarbled (MP3s and UTUBE), but I
have had trouble with some Camtasia productions.
1. Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on and
possible remedies?
2. Is there a way to get flashplayer9r47_winax.exe to
actually run and go back to the previous version 9.0.47.0?
Thanks for your help.

I have finally clarified the sound problem I reported in this
forum.

Flash files with audio sound garbled or high pitched
Question
Flash files played in the the newest version of the Flash
Player sound garbled or have a high-pitched "chipmunk" sound to
them.
Answer
The latest release of the Flash Player (v9.0.115.0 released
on 12/03/07)) causes audio to sound garbled and/or high pitched
like a chipmunk. Our development team is looking into this issue
and working to find a fix.
To avoid this problem, you can roll back your Flash Player to
a previous release. If you have problems installing an older
release of the Flash Player please review this article and contact
Adobe for further support.
At this time, the problem is limited only to SWF files
produced with the MP3 audio codec. As a workaround, you can produce
your SWF files with the PCM audio codec or use the FLV format
instead of SWF.

Safe versions security restrictions when installing Flash
Player
Issue
If you previously installed a later version of Flash Player
for Internet Explorer, you may be prevented from installing an
earlier version. For example, if you installed Flash Player
9.0.47.0 and attempted to install version 9.0.45.0 the installation
would fail.
Reason
This issue is due to registry key settings applied by the
Flash Player security model. The restriction is to prevent users
from downgrading Flash Player minor versions. The minor version of
Flash Player is the third set of numbers in the version name. For
example, the minor version for Flash Player 9.0.47.0 would be 47.
If Flash Player 9.0.47.0 was installed and you attempted to install
9.0.45.0 (minor version 45), the installation would fail.
Solution
To resolve this, download the uninstaller for Flash Player
from "How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX
control" (TechNote tn_14157).
Select Start.
Select Run.
Type cmd
In the command window, type the following:
uninstall_flash_player.exe /clean
This will remove all entries in the system registry and
resolve this issue.
Note: The uninstall_flash_player.exe file must be saved to
the same directory that the command window is in, for example C:\.

Airplay from PGATOUR app, audio garbled

I was trying to airplay the PGATOUR video from the app for iPad (I have a new IPad, 16GB, WiFi + 4G), and the video played nicely but the audio was garbled. Sounded like it was coming acorss on a tin can on a string. The video and audio both played just fine on the iPad. There are no issues with the TV or the AppleTV I was playing it to (played a movie and the sound was perfect).
Any thoughts on what caused this?

Usually these types of limitations are added by the app developer, especially with media apps like these. However I would first try Resetting the devices. I found the best way to reset the iPad is to close all apps in the recently used app list. Double tap the Home button to reveal the list at the bottom then tap and hold one icon till they wiggle and display a minus button. Tap the to close all apps them press the Home button to get back to the home screen. Hold the Sleep button till "Slide to power off" appears. Once it has shut down completely press the Sleep button till you see the Apple icon.
The procedure is similar to resarting your computer when it starts acting flaky. iPads are just a hand head computer and rarely gets shut down or reset so it would be similar to running your computer for months at a time without shutting it down.

Audio garbled in exported film

when I export my edited Imovie film (11 minutes) into Itunes film (with the intent of burning a dvd afterwards) or onto my hard drive as a .mov, halfway through the exported film the sound is garbled (excelarates, even produces sound of clips where I disabled the sound while editing) and so in several parts of the film the sound is out of sync.
What is going wrong here? How can I see in my edited project whether there is some sound 'flying around' on audio channels I don't hear when I play the film straight from the project window?
thanx for helping out!
marcella

Hi Marcella - welcome to the forum!
If you have made any speed changes, such as slow or fast motion, using your own custom (manual) settings, audio glitches can appear in your exported movie. These glitches do not show up in preview - only after exporting. The solution is to use ONLY the preset settings on the slider, which are 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400% and 800%.
So, you need to revisit your project and change any "custom" speed changes to any of the Apple presets. Unfortunately, this may require some re-editing to keep everything in sync, but is the only way to fix the audio problem.

Export problem & audio garbled if using "Fade in" effect

Hi everyone, I'm using iMovie HD 6, and I'm not sure why this is happening. I have a 30-second clip that I added credits to over the first few seconds. I then go to export (Share>Quicktime) and it creates an mp4 file, but when I try to open it I get an error from Quicktime saying "movie cannot be opened."
Also, if I try to do the credits over the clip itself, the audio is garbled until the credits are gone. By the same token, if I do a fade-in on the clip (the clip is either an .mov or an .mp4 with audio married to it), the audio is garbled until the fade is over. Same thing on the fade out.
I have the latest quicktime, the latest OS, and the latest version of iMovie. If anyone can help me with a fix, that would be great.

I'm experiencing the same kind of problem. I'm importing 30fps h264 mp4 files with 48khz audio. I've changed the audio rate to 48kz in the Audio and Midi application and I'm still getting the jitters on transitions. Extracting the audio is not an option in this case as it's ease of use I'm going for...

Audio File Not Found Dialogue Box - How To Stop From Popping Up

Hello:
I had to delete useless audio tracks from Logic Pro 9. Naturally I get the pop up box that says certain track not found in it's location. Then the instruction as to how to locate it. then the the buttons: skip all skip search locate. Well as the tracks have been completely deleted, and the bin has all ! next to the tracks, is there any way to stop this dialogue box appearing, as in "do not show again," or am I a slave to clicking on skip all to get to the recording tracks? Thanks for any advice

Hey Thanks, Seeren....nothing more than one big duh....but I didn't know....and clearing out the tracks still hasn't made my macbook pro run faster!
Thanks, again

Audio garbled on import from Canon XA10 to FCPX

I'm running the current FCPX on the current Yosemite OS on a maxed out Late 2012 Mac Mini. Just bought a Canon XA10 and recorded HiDef clips to the internal HD. During recording I monitored the audio on headphones and it was good. When I play back the clips on the camera, again the audio is good. But when I import them to FCPX the audio is garbled. You can make out the sync comments but the audio is terrible, not anywhere close to what I heard outside of FCPX. First I imported all 12 clips. Then I tried just importing 1 clip to a different Library. Even tried exporting a .mov from the project and playing it on Quicktime. Always same result. Canon, Mac or FCPX problem? Thanks!

With the current footage you are using I cannot think of a reason why FCP X is messing with the audio.
Things to try:
Shoot more footage on a different card with different settings. Avoid mixing different types of footage on the one card/storage device.
Try adjusting Project audio settings in FCP X e.g.. 5.1 to stereo, stereo to dual mono etc.
Tinker until you hit a workable combination if you are lucky.
BTW: I searched the FCP X forum and there is info regarding the XA10 and capturing, some good and bad reports but nothing definitive.
At least a few users have had success with that camera using FCP X.

Audio garbles after playing Video

I got a new 30G iPod and downloaded all my iTunes, Audible and mp3 files. I then purchased from iTunes a video. All the audio (mp3, itunes, audible) play fine until I play the video. After I play a few seconds of video and return to playing audible files they garble. It appears going back and playing mp3 or iTunes audio "resets" so I can then play audible files (until I play video).

This is a known defect of the 5th generation ipod. Hopefully they will fix it in a software update.

Audio Garbled During Transitions & FX (MPEG)

I use 2 different cameras for taking home movies: A sony digital camcorder, which records in DV; and a sony digital camera, which records MPEGs. Importing and editing .DVs from the camcorder is always problem-free. With the MPEGs, however, I have to jump through a few hoops first (copy the MPEGs out of iPhoto, convert the MPEGs to .DVs using MPEG Streamclip, import the new .DVs to iMovie). So far so good. Now I can make my movie.
Except... When I add a transition or a title, the sound becomes garbled, but only for the duration of the effect. Otherwise, the sound is fine. I tried extracting the audio, but then all the audio becomes garbled. And by garbled, I mean that "helicopter" sound like others have described.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
P.S. Here's links to 2 movies I created with iMovie; the 1st one was from the camcorder (.DV):
http://homepage.mac.com/ron.wood/iMovieTheater61.html
the 2nd one was from the digital camera (MPEG), you can hear the garbled sound when the titles show up (there's some background wind noise, but the garbled sound is there, if you listen for it):

Powerbook 1Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1 GB RAM

Hi
I own a 1.83 GHz Intel iMac and have been using iMovie for years. I've been working on a particularly large file (a compilation of best clips from 12 years worth of video of my children). The file is 42 GB. Everything was fine until I opened the file about 2 weeks ago and the audio had the aforementioned helicopter-like garbled sound. Not just a single track but all the video was garbled! After panicking a bit I found this thread. I'm not a power mac user so much of the advice I encountered in this (and other) threads was over my head. I did export the file to Quicktime from within iMovie (Share, Quicktime) and the audio did work. And then I happened onto the solution: I removed all of the transitions between the video clips (I used the cross-dissolve transition between most of the 605 clips) and my audio returned to normal. Upon finding the solution I recalled that one of the last things I did when I had last worked on this particular iMovie file was to add some transitions. Perhaps there is a maximum in terms of transitions that a particular file can handle? Or perhaps iMovie doesn't like having transitions in certain places (for example, between iMovie's built in theme clips and video clips)?
In any case, problem solved. Hope this helps somebody else who encounters the mysterious garbled helicopter-like audio.

Audio Recording and Buttons / Click Boxes

Good morning!
I am just learning how to include audio in my Captivate
files. Here's my scenario. I'd like the user to be able to read the
information on a screen, then, click a button or a click box to
play the audio. I can record just fine, but, when I play back my
slide, the audio starts playing right away. I know I could move it
using the Timeline but it would be easier for the user to click
when they are ready to hear the audio portion of the screen. Is
there a way to do this?
Any help / information would be most appreciated.
Helen

Hi Helen,
You said...
quote:

for the user to click when they are ready to hear the audio portion
of the screen. Is there a way to do this?
The best solution would probably be the one you've
said you don't want to use - if I understand you - that is, to
pause each slide after the caption is displayed (with Fade-In set,
that would be after one-half second) and push back the audio on the
timeline until after that. You would need a click-box or button set
to "Continue" when clicked (to continue on the timeline to hear the
audio) and another set to "Jumpto" the next slide for those who
don't want to hear the audio.
But wouldn't it be easier on everyone if you just set the
audio to play normally and allow the user to click the "mute" if
they don't want to hear it? I am probably missing the point of
having (silent) audio ... (??) The combination (permutation) of
audio and text can be used a variety of ways, so there is certainly
nothing wrong with your idea but I'm just looking for an easy way,
I guess. Have you given any thought to going the other way, with
audio constantly available and text available as closed
captioning?? Just throwing out gremlins now for what they might be
worth . . .

Audio Garbled in Quicktime 7

RealPlayer plays great but QuickTime files all play garbled. Will not play correctly. All settings are on "Default".
Any idea on what I need to change to correct this?

Does it play garbled audio for 6-7 seconds and then cut out completely? That's the problem I'm getting with the 7.1 update... extremely frustrating, because I know it's not a problem with the movies. In fact, I reinstalled an older version of 7 (exploits and all, I guess) because 7.1 is useless.
A similar issue appears to exist with the Mac 7.1 update, too: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=477675&tstart=45
Unfortunately the fixes that are described are Mac-specific... anyone have any ideas?

Prem Pro CS3 audio becomes intermittent after a while

This has been going on for a while and I have only now decided to do something about it:
While working on a project in PPCS3, after a while the audio starts to become intermittent. Its as though a buffer has become full and the audio data demand is more than the buffer can supply. I can't seem to find a way to Purge any buffer (if there is one). Are there settings I can adjust to prevent this?
My system is XP64 SP2 RAM 8GB Quad CPUs
Scratch locations: C: 66GB. J: 1.2TB
Re-starting PremPro solves the problem for a while and it then starts all over again.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Mark

Yes, I'm planning on going to CS5.5 but I was hopeing to stay with my present XP64 OS set up, so any other suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not sure all of the AFX plug-ins that I use are happy with Win7
Thanks.

HOW TO: HDMI Audio Output for Zotac Media Box with nVidia ION :)

I've been fighting with my recently purchased Zotac mini-PC for about 2 months now trying to get the HDMI audio output to work. I tried extensive modifications of /etc/asound.conf, different versions of ALSA, and even OSS without success. I've finally succeeded using ALSA and GNOME.
First I installed ALSA according to the Arch wiki.
Next I verified that ALSA detected my sound card(s):
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xfe9fc000 irq 28
1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
HDA NVidia at 0xfcf7c000 irq 18
Next I checked which sound card had the HDMI jack:
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC888 Digital [ALC888 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
From these two commands, I concluded that I have 2 sound cards (important later on) and that my HDMI sound card was card 1 (NVidia) and that it had 4 possible devices (3,7,8, and 9). To determine which device must be used, I ran the following command for each device (for example, to test card X and device Y, use' plughw:X,Y'):
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav -D plughw:1,7
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono
I tried each device and got the best sound from device 7 (8 and 9 also worked, device 3 gave static...).
Now, since I had 2 sound cards, I needed to change the default ALSA device. My default ALSA device was card 0 (the Intel card), which wasn't plugged in, so I needed to change the default card to be card 1 (the HDMI card). After reading the ALSA FAQ, I found that modifying /usr/share/alsa.conf should work, though modifying /etc/asound.conf should have also worked. For whatever reason, I couldn't get my modifications to /etc/asound.conf to work, so I edited /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf. In the "# defaults" section I replaced the following:
defaults.ctl.card NVidia
defaults.pcm.card NVidia
defaults.pcm.device 7
I opted to use the key NVidia rather than the card number (1) since I've read in numerous places that the card index can change unexpectedly after a reboot/update. The key can be checked with cat /proc/asound/cards as shown above.
After this, I reloaded ALSA (/etc/rc.d/alsa restart) and verified that the sound worked through the default channel:
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav -D default
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono
Finally, I rebooted, chose the HDA NVidia (ALSA Mixer) option from gnome-volume-control, and loaded a movie in gnome-mplayer. I was pleased to hear crystal clear sound with functioning volume control
I Hope this helps someone else, I found it very hard to piece together how to diagnose and resolve this problem. Here are some of the resources I found useful:
Arch Wiki ALSA Page
ALSA FAQ for how to change default sound card
ALSA FAQ
XBMC Troubleshooting for ION HDMI

@sprince09 Can you hear sound through HDMI when you run aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav -D plughw:1,7 ?
(8 and 9 also worked, device 3 gave static...)
- what does it mean? How do you know that they are working?
What options do you have for snd_hda_intel in /etc/modprobe.d/ ? Can you play the following:
mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=1,7 file.wav
BTW, can you hear sound form video files in xine? If yes, can you post your ~/.xine/config ?
