Audio issues in latest episode

I have a season pass for My Little Ponies: Friendship is Magic, and up until now all of the episodes have been of a good quality, with no issues to report. The latest episode uploaded to the iTunes store, however, "A Dog and Pony Show," is of considerably worse audio quality. The characters' voices do not even come through, only the background music. This has not been the case for any episode up until this point.
This *issue appears to stem from the source download*, not just an issue with my specific file possibly being corrupt, as previewing the video in the iTunes store shows the same issue - characters are moving their mouths, but only the background music is heard. I can watch previous episodes right now, on the same computer, and everything plays correctly. Only this specific episode is broken, not my system audio.
I'm really not sure where to report this, or what can even be done about it, but I did not pay for a season pass to this show only to see such a horrible quality episode get uploaded. Given that I realize I may not posting in the correct area, any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated, even if only re-directing me to the proper channels.

I can also confirm this. I reported the problem with iTunes, but had to jump through too many hoops to do it. Reporting problems should be easier than this.
Even the 30-sec preview contains no vocal track. Episode 19. My kids were devastated.

They'll have to delete that episode and issue it again, which means all of us Season Pass people should get another email when the replacement is up. People who bought it as a stand-along ep will likely get credited the money back to buy it again.

  • Vista 64, Latest Driver & X-Fi Elite Pro: Audio issue with Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Pes 20

    Hi,i have formatted XP S.P.2 and now i'm using Vista Ultimate 64.I have got an X-Fi Elite Pro and i have installed all the applications using the CD-Rom.I updated the driver, Alchemy and Mediasource to the latest version.The system is totally clean and updated (I used Windows Update when i finished to install Vista and nothing was installed). I would like to know why i cannot play Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 like in XP: when i enter in the game i have a noise (looks like the noise of the needle in old gramophones...) and i cannot use the speakers (Creative ProGamer G500).If i turn the volume to 0 i can hear it too... i have to switch off the speakers or exit the game to delete it.Is it another bug I tried to uninstall and doing a new installation of the game but... no way men... Thanks p.s.After year and 4 months (release date of Vista) is it possible to have a decent driver... The Audio Quality in Vista Ultimate 64 bit is lower than in XP and the same wave files have distortion with the low and middle-high volume (60-70).
    Problems that i have never had in XP... i cannot reinstall XP another time. I bought Vista in 2006 and i cannot use it till you'll release a good sw.
    Have we to wait till 200 for a fuc.ing working driver

    The problem is now official: other customers have problems with some games (Pes 2008 and Crysis in particular). I'll show u the main italian hw. forum. There is a thread of more than 500 pages just about Creative X-Fi: http://www.hwupgrade.it/forum/showth...42043&page=550 I would like to know if u test drivers before sharing... because i don't know what you did in more than year.You should meditate, people... I paid more than 400 $ for an Elite Pro and after year and 4 month i cannot install Vista 64 too for audio issues with mp3-wave files and Pes 2008 or Vista 32 bit for problems with Pes 2008. This is my latest Creative product, you can trust.

  • Audio problem with one episode of iTunes tv show on two apple tvs but audio works fine on same show on iMac

    I have a season pass to Dr Who and all 30+ other shows purchased on iTunes work great. Last night's episode (Hide) has a hissing sound so loud it drowns out all the audio in the show when i try to watch it on my Apple TV.  I then downloaded the episode to my iMac and my iPad and no audio issues there. However when I tried playing it shared from my iMac to the Apple TV and the audio problem was there again. Same thing happened when I tried to AirPlay from my iPad to Apple TV.
    I have two Apple TVs. One is latest model w latest upgrade, the other is generation before without latest upgrade. Same audio issue on both. I have tons of iTunes TV shows and movies and this is the only episode with an issue. Something is wrong with this file that causes it to screws up the audio on Apple TV.
    Has anyone else seen this kind of audio issue specific to just one TV episode or movie?  Anyone know support path for iTunes problems?

    If other episodes play Dolby Digital fine this could be a file encoding problem - they sometimes get it wrong.
    I suggest you all contact Apple about the problem via itunes store support here:

  • Audio Issues - Sound stops on youtube vid after a few seconds. Please Help?

    What's been happening is weird audio issues, especially youtube  related though not only (other web video content has been messed up, but  mostly youtube). Right now I am using headphones (1/8" or 3.5mm)  through the back of the computer and when I turn on  the computer, at first I can hear sound from videos. When I open the  speaker icon mixer window in the bottom right, I see green bar moving  with the sound on the "speakers" mixer and "Adobe Flash Player" mixer  simultaneously.
    Then after a few minutes or after having a few tabs open, all of a  sudden the audio stops. Oddly enough, usually the video keeps going even  thought the audio has stopped. I verified this wasn't a hardware issue  with my headphones by opening the Speaker Icon  Mixer window, and acutally was watching it at the moment the sound  stopped and saw the green bar disappear exactly when the sound stopped.
    If I restart the computer, or firefox only sometimes (mostly need to  restart cpu though) then videos will play again with sound. Once the  sound stops however, if I open a new youtube video in another window, it  will sometimes cause an "An error occured.  Please try again later" crash.
    I'm at a loss of what to do.
    Running latest version of Firefox (26.0) and Adobe Flash (11,9,900,170  installed). Windows 7 64 bit system, Intel Core I7 Processor.
    I have tried many things include "reset firefox", clear cache,  changing to an earlier version of Flash (11.3). Tried to update sound  cards. Even tried to restore computer to an earlier setting ( I only  went two days ago, could go farther back I suppose).When  I reverted back, the problem went away for a few hours but then came  right back.
    I scanned pc with ESET online antivirus, no viruses, Malewarebytes  Pro, no issues. Cleaned with CC cleaner. Plenty of hard drive space  (using an SSD boot drive btw).
    I am not very knowledable about plugins or "addons" or extenstions.  Nor do I know if it has anything do "Firefox Options -> applications"  (gives content type and then option...essentially a bunch of sound file  types and then which plugin plays it). I can  give my list of all this out if necessary but there are quite a few and  I dont know how to copy/paste that info so it would take. Even though  its gonna take forever to hand type these guys all out, I will give my  list of "plugins" that may be audio related:
    QuickTime Plugin 7.7.4 7.7.4.0
    RealDownloader Plugin 1.3.3.66
    RealNetworks (tm)
    RealDownloader Chrome Background Extensions Plug-in (32-bit) 1.3.3.66
    RealNetworks (tm)
    RealDownloader HTML5VideoShim Plug-in (32-bit)
    1.3.3.66 RealNetworks (tm)
    RealDownloader PepperFlashVideoShim Plug-in (32-bit) 1.3.3.66
    RealPlayer Download Plugin 16.0.3.51
    RealPlayer(tm) G2 LiveConnect-Enabled Plug-In (32-Bit) 16.0.3.51
    Shockwave Flash 11.9.900.170
    Shockwave for Director 12.0.7.148 (for netscape plug-in)
    Shockwave for Director 12.0.2.122 (for netscape plug-in)
    Silverlight Plug-In 5.1.20913.0
    VLC Web Plugin 2.1.0.0
    When I open my device manager and look at "Sound video and game controllers" I see 4 options:
    1)AMD High Definition Audio Device
    2) Bluetooth Audio Device
    3) High Definition Audio Device
    4) Intel (R) Display Audio
    I'm not sure what this means, if I have 4 sound cards or if they are conflicting somehow.
    I tried to update drivers on each one. No change.  I've tried  "restarting firefox with addons disabled" and "check here to see if your  addons are up to date" (they were except VLC which I did update before  restoring to previous day and it didnt help).
    None of the fixes work for me, same issues. Extremely frustrated!! Help?

    I'm having a similar problem with flash audio. After a few minutes of watching a video or playing a game the audio cuts out but the video keeps working. The audio does not return until I refresh the page. The issue occurs regardless of which browser I'm using (have tired both Firefox and Chrome). Oddly enough, when the audio cuts out from whatever flash application is running, my entire system loses sound until I refresh the webpage or close the browser. For example, I was playing Minecraft with Chrome open in the background and suddenly the sound cut out from both. Once I closed the browser my audio came back. I realized that there was a graphic on the webpage that was flash based which likely triggered the issue.
    I do not have any Real plugins.
    Incidently I also have Intel (R) Display Audio listed in my device manager
    Edit: I forgot to mention, this issue only seems to occure when I watch videos that have been uploaded recently. For some reason the audio does not cut out when I watch a video was uploaded a few months ago.

  • IPhone 5 audio issues when paired with surround sound via Bluetooth.

    iPhone 5 has developed audio issues since ios7 updates when its connected to surround sound system via Bluetooth. Audio jumps and skips in erratic and unpredictable manner on music app and worse on third party apps such as YouTube  . Have restored phone from factory settings etc. Have also checked surround sound for fault with Bluetooth; iPhone 4 ios7 works fine, android works fine but newest iPod touch with ios7 appears to have developed same issue as iPhone 5 since ios7 updates. Advise people to check for this issue on their Bluetooth devices and any advice would be appreciated on this issue  :) 

    Hey there Vxas,
    It sounds like you are gettings some very unexpected behaviour from the iPhone to your bluetooth surround sound system. I would try the troubleshooting recommended in this article:
    iOS: How to troubleshoot Bluetooth connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
    Check that you are in range of the Bluetooth device with which you are trying to pair your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Most Bluetooth devices have a range of approximately 30 feet.
    On your iOS device, tap Settings > Bluetooth and find your device in the list. If your device says Not Connected, tap the name of your device to attempt to connect it.
    Tap Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and then on again.
    Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory is turned on and fully charged or connected to power.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Bluetooth and locate the Bluetooth accessory you are currently connected to or attempting to connect to. Then tap and Forget this Device. Try to pair your Bluetooth accessory again.
    Note: You may need to re-enter your Bluetooth accessory PIN if your accessory requires one. Some common PINs are 0000, 1111, and 1234.
    Restart your Bluetooth accessory by turning it off and then on again1.
    Update your device to the latest version of software. See how to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    If your Bluetooth accessory has upgradeable firmware, check to see that you have the latest version1, 2.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Excessive Audio Issues

    With every new update of skype, the audio issues keep on multiplying. The quality of the software has drastically degraded as soon as microsoft took over it, for some reason.
    With the latest update, when trying to call or recieve a call I get a "There was a problem with your recording device" error and the dialing disconnects. After about 10 to 15 failed attempts the call connects succesfully. Sometimes restarting skype makes the call connect instantaneously without recieveing the error, over and over again. However the bugs dont end here. On ending the call, the audio stops routing to my headphones and is stuck to being routed to the laptop speakers. Removing and reinserting the headphone jack does not help. The problem persists untill I quit skype, which fixes the routing problem.  
    I tried using the windows 8 app for skype instead, but that is even worse and has a range of other issues with it.
    If anyone else has similar issues and has found a solution for these numerous skype bugs, please let me know. My audio driver is up to date and I have no other audio issues with any other software.

    All Skype to telephone and mobile calls disconnect after a few seconds.
    My account has adequate credit.
    Please help

  • More Audio issues...

    Along with the sounds / tones truncating / cutting off, I was listening to some mp3's today and the sound was constantly cutting in and out of stereo mode.  Left ear worked most of the time, right ear worked maybe 1/4th of the time.  Whatever happened to the sound coding in the latest update, it needs to be fixed.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I have searched in vain for an answer to this
    problem. I have a 15" Powerbook Aluminum, 1.5 Ghz G4
    w/ 1.25G RAM and 10 GB available on the harddrive.
    I am working with iMovie 6 with all my movie files on
    a LaCie external drive connected using a FW800
    connection. 195GB capacity, with about 20GB being
    used up with iMovie files.
    Here's my issue. When I import video alone into a
    project, we have joy. When I try to add audio clips
    (either AIFF or MP3), the playback slows to a crawl,
    the video is severely stuttery and the audio is
    distorted and plays at about half speed (like playing
    a 33rpm LP at 16rpm).
    If I delete the video and import the audio clips,
    same issue w/slowness and distortion.
    If I import the audioc clips singly, they play and
    sync well with the video to a point, but there's a
    threshhold at which the playback begins to degrade
    and the audio issues return.
    Very frustrating. Who can point me to some likely
    culprits? Of, and this began happening in iMovie 5. I
    was hoping iMovie 6 would solve. no joy.
    Thanks all - Joel
    OK - here's an update. I dumped my caches, fixed permissions, made changes to QT settings and reset the MIDI settings and the result? The audio is now running fine BUT the video is now not running (or at least ex-treme-ly sl-ooooooow-ly).
    Any thoughts folks? I'd be eager to hear your input!

  • My podcasts are not showing the latest episodes in the iTunes store

    Hi All,
    The latest episodes of two of my podcast feeds have not yet updated in the iTunes store; both feeds had episodes posted Friday, May 10th but the new episodes are not yet appearing in the store directory.
    Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? I've noticed a couple others have recently posted similar problems and I suspect this is an issue on Apple's end as the episodes are available to subscribers and the feeds seem to validate. Can anyone confirm?
    Podcast links:
    1) https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/aarp-viva/id616834845?mt=2
    2) https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/prime-time-focus-aarp/id429000891?mt=2
    Thanks,
    Clay

    When you add a new episode to your feed and upload it, it appears immediately for subscribers because their iTunes application reads the feed directly and the Store is not involved.
    However because of the huge number of podcasts in the Store (thousands) the Store caches the feed and checks it for updates periodically. For this reason it usually takes 1-2 days for new episodes to appear in the Store: sometimes it can be less, and occasionally the whole process seems to get stuck and it can take several days.
    Your feeds are up to date when subscribing, so it's just a matter of waiting for the Store to catch up.

  • The latest episode of my podcast will not play or download. Everything is clear through the host. What can I do?

    Hello!
    I recently created a new podcast and for some reason my latest episode(episode 4) appears in iTunes but will not play or download. The other 3 episodes still work fine and episode 4 seems to be working properly on the host libsyn page and on the website I am posting new episodes on. iTunes is the only thing it does not seem to be playing through. I do run my podcast through a feedburner account before it hits iTunes, but so far have not had any issues. Has anyone had a similar issue?

    Feedburner is a pain and causes issues especially with the Podcasts App - plus its future is far from secure.  Google has shut down other services in the past with little warning.
    Since you are hosting on libsyn - the best thing you could do is switch over to your libsyn feed.
    http://insidethestrain.libsyn.com/rss
    Here is a tutorial on how to redirect from feedburner to your libsyn feed.
    http://lilith.libsyn.com/feedburner-redirect-tutorial
    And make sure you turn off any redirects on the libsyn side - you don't want it redirecting back out to the feedburner feed which it appears to be doing. 
    You want to manage your feed just in your libsyn account.

  • Unable to download, or even locate, the latest episode of Big Bang Theory

    Even though I received an email stating the latest episode of the BBT was ready to download, I haven't been able to get the episode for two days now. When I go to the iTune store, and look at the BBT episodes available from season 7, many aren't even listed anymore. Has anyone been able to download the latest episode of the Big Bang Theory?

    Hello Tcsan,
    The episodes in question should begin to download automatically the day after they air, so they may already be in iTunes. If not, and you are, indeed, unable to obtain the episodes purchased, I would recommend reporting the issue to the folks in our iTunes Store.

  • Outgoing call audio issue

    I bought an iPhone 4s in India two days back. I am facing a strange problem when I make audio calls. Very often (not all the time) I do not hear any audio after making an outgoing call though the call go thru' and timer starts clicking. When I checked with the people whom I called, they said that they got the call but did not hear anything at their end. The workaround that I figured out is to press SPEAKER button twice (activate and deactivate) when I encouter this problem. It seems to be working as of now. Not sure if this is a hardware problem or a software problem or if I am missing anything with settings. Can someone help me?
    Thanks !!!

    Hi raj1434,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not hearing callers, or being heard on calls, use these steps to guide your troubleshooting:
    iPhone: Microphone issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5183
    Make sure nothing is plugged in to the jack connector.
    Make sure nothing is blocking any of the microphones (see the pictures below to locate the microphones on your device)
    Make sure none of the microphones is obstructed by dirt or debris.
    Turn the iPhone off and then on.
    Make sure that the latest version of iOS is installed.
    iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5196
    Increase the volume during the call.
    Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver. If you're using a protective case or display film, remove it and try again.
    Make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack or the dock connector.
    Check the receiver opening to see if it is clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
    Try another location with better signal. If the audio issue happens only when on a call, it could be due to the location.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or a car kit, try turning off Bluetooth on your device. Learn more about troubleshooting Bluetooth connections.
    If none of the steps above correct the behavior, back up your iPhone and restore the iOS software to factory settings:

  • HT201272 Is there a quick way to download the latest episode when you have a season pass?

    I'm having issues downloading the latest episode in a season pass. They only way I can do it now is to get to each individual show page, and download. Is there no better/easier way to do this? I've asked Apple but they do not understand what I'm talking about and keep sending me to how to download previously purchased files.

    They are probably sending you this?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Toshiba Satellite A665-S6055 audio issues.

    A few hours ago I noticed my volume controls seemed to have a mind of their own.  The volume bar would go all the way down to zero, and noticed the system control panel volume buttons (above the keyboard, not the same model but you get the idea) would light up on their own.  Volume Up, Down, and Mute were lighting up and messing with the volume.  It was as if someone was pressing them.  Thinking it may be a virus of some sort, I ran Avast and Malwarebytes but both returned nothing.
    I then thought the system control buttons were bugging out, and decided to uninstall the TOSHIBA Value Added Package, which I thought would remove the functionality of said buttons.  However upon restart the problem has only gotten worse.  Now the Play/Pause button is lighting up randomly.  According to the control panel the Value Added Package was indeed removed, and I have not reintalled the latest version of it yet.
    Any suggestions?  My sound is essentially ruined.
    edit: I tried restoring the system to a few days ago but it didn't help.  After the restart yet ANOTHER button from the system control panel has started randomly lighting up.  I'm starting to think this isn't an audio issue, but an issue with the system control panel buttons.  I will reinstall the TVAP using this download and update this post with the results.
    edit: Reinstalling TVAP did not solve the issue.  The issue has actually escalated quite dramatically.  Even more buttons are being accessed now, including the wi-fi button.  I'm literally unable to access this website on my laptop because the wi-fi function keeps getting turned on and off.  I fear a factory reset is my only hope.
    edit: The issue goes away in Safe Mode.  Still doesn't really fix anything though.
    edit: Possibly fixed.  Unplugged power cord, forced shut down, removed battery and waited about a minute.  Plugged the cord back in as well as the battery.  Started it up, went to BIOS settings and reset it to the defaults (F9).  Saved the setting and continued the reboot process.  The issue appears to be gone.  I tested the volume buttons and they are working properly.
    HELP.
