Audio Issues When IDT Audio is Installed. Alternative?

I have an HP Elitebook 8440w Mobile Workstation running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and I've been having issues with the sound. Since it came with the IDT Audio program installed to begin with and is the program for the audio drivers, I never realized that it was (seemingly) causing the problem. I'm still not completely sure that that program is the real problem.
I went for a long time without speakers because that was the only problem I was having with the laptop and I couldn't go without the computer for the week it would have required to get it worked on through the IT department of my university. Finally, since it's summer and I have finished my degree, I took it in to see if they could figure out what was wrong. I had done everything I could think of, reinstalling drivers, etc. Nothing helped.
They didn't figure anything out at all. Instead they told me my Operating System was corrupted or some such BS and reinstalled Windows 7 Professional without even telling me first. This wiped all of my programs and caused several new problems. On top of this, they didn't reinstall any of the standard HP programs, diagnostic or otherwise. It's a really good thing I am not a complete computer novice or I would have been so lost. I have now spent several hours correcting my lack of software and am almost back to where I started.
This reinstallation of programs is what caused me to realize that it was this program causing the issues, or at least causing them to show up. I uninstalled it and now I can't use headphones, but at least the speakers are working. When the program was installed, it showed that the headphone jack was in use even when it wasn't, so I suspect that the real problem is that a switch in the port is messed up. However, I can't get it fixed anytime soon and I definitely won't be taking it back to the IT department. Some other idiot might also throw (my newly reinstalled) baby out with the bathwater.
Anyways, I was hoping someone might be able to recommend a different program/audio driver that I can manually switch from speakers to headphones with. Also, if you have any more insight into this problem, I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much!

FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?

Hello. The link FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?
does not work, and i need the answer please. My imported MTS clips are not playing back audio because it seems that no audio imported with the video. Thanks, Don.

Hi there
Audio plays when the object with the audio assigned appears. This is why you hear it when the Button appears.
Try assigning the audio instead to the object that appears when you click the button. Perhaps the caption.
Cheers... Rick

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,
Sterling

Weird audio issue when printing to video

I am attempting to dub a couple of old projects to tape using the Print to Video command (firewire connection to Panasonic DVX-100A MiniDV camera). I have used this method many times in the past with success. However, I have now tried two different projects tonight and had the same strange issue: The project plays back perfectly normally in the timeline, through the computer speakers, but when I Print to Video, there will be one part where a small audio "blip" can be heard. It sounds like either a snippet of tone or the sound of un-rendered audio... except it's all rendered.
Anybody have any suggestions? It's really weird that it plays back something different in Print to Video than it does in regular playback... Any help is appreciated.

That did it, thanks! I feel kind of dumb, I've never used that function before. Is that something I should have been doing all along? Anyway, thanks again. It's nice to get a response and have it work on the first try. So refreshing.

Strange audio issue when running render queue via script.

The issue I'm having with AE is odd, and I'm hoping someone may be able to shed light on the matter. I have a very simple composition that, when I render out using the GUI, everything works as expected. The video renders fine, the audio renders fine, etc. However, when I invoke a script that runs the .aep file, sets the render queue for the composition in question, and then renders it, only the video comes through, but no audio. There is nothing in my script prior to the setting up of the render queue that alters any audio layers (i.e. no code shutting off audio, etc.) Has anybody ever encountered this? The audio file is a .wav in 44.1KHz, 16bit, stereo, and will try other formats to see if the problem might with the file itself? Although, I don't see how that would be the case if it is rendering just fine via the GUI.
Any help you can offer for troubleshooting would be great! Thanks for your help and time!

Thanks for your suggestion. It wasn't the output module. I created a custom template for it and ensured the audio was checked. It was an odd fix. I deleted the audio layer, then dragged it back to the timline. Then, it worked. Cost me like two hours of work for that, and I should have checked it earlier. But I still don't know why the original wasn't working.

Audio issues when adding movies to Premiere Elements 11

When I try to add movies to PE11 the audio gets all screwed up. I am very new to video editing and I haven't had this issue with other movies, only those froma specific camera. The only thing I can see is that the audio from the camera that works is mono, and the audio from the camera that doesn't work is stereo. Any suggestions on how I can fix this issue?

b.raines
In addition to Hunt's questions, I would ask:
1. What are the brand, model, and settings for your camera? What are the properties of the video that it generates?
2. Are you accepting the project preset automatically being given you after you drag your video to the Timeline (Expert view) or are you setting the project preset in the New Project dialog yourself. The project preset should match the properties of your source media. Sometimes the program's choice is not appropriate. Please check under Edit Menu/Project Settings to see what the program is setting and compare that with what you know are the properties of the source media.
For Properties Readout, please consider the free MediaInfo
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
3. Is the audio messing up the only problem that you are having? If so, where is it manifesting itself
a. when you playback the rendered Timeline in the Edit Mode Monitor
or
b. when you playback the exported Timeline on one of your players
or
c. other
How is it messing up...distorted sound or audio out of sync?
Getting more information on the above will help us to work together to resolve your issue.
Thanks.

Audio Issues when scrubbing in Adobe Pr 6.0.2 via ScreenSharing

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to use sceensharing apps to allow me to edit in Adobe Pr CS6 yet despite a variety of attempts and many many hours of fiddling I haven't gotten any audio to output when scrubbing. I've tried a variety of Screen Sharing apps - my preferred one being SplashTop. They all seem to do something along the lines of installing a virtual audio device like Soundflower. This works great for sound output pretty much everwhere except when scrubbing within Adobe Premiere. For example even playing files from the media browser in Premiere works, so its specifically isolated to playback of a timeline.
System info:
Mac OS X 10.7.5
MacPro Mid 2010 built in Audio and Video hardware
Adobe Premiere 6.0.2
Soundflower v 1.6.6 (tried other revisions without any difference)
Here's what I've tried:
Set the Audio Hardware Preference to -> Default Device: Soundflower (2ch), buffersize 2048 (and then matched the buffer in the Soundflower settings) == Playback works great when playing the media files, just not when scrubbing
Played with the settings in the Playback Prefefences switching from Adobe Desktop Audio to Adobe DV = no difference (don't have any other plugins)
Trying a variety of settings in the Apple Audio Midi Settings without any difference
Opened up Quicktime Pro Audio Recording with the Soundflower Audio as the input to see if there is any audio levels being detected = nothing detected when scrubbing
I'm not totally familar with all the settings within Pr, so perhaps there is something I'm missing?
Or maybe I'm going about this in the wrong way and there is a better alternative then using screensharing via Splashtop? Really looking to avoid putting things on a USB drive and copying stuff back and forth. :-)
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Adam

Hi, I'm having the same problem. I can see it's been a while since you wrote this, but did you find a solution? Have you found some other, perhaps working, platform besides Splashtop that you could recommend?

Audio issues when editing video clips

Sorry if this been asked before and I’m having trouble looking for the answers on my own. I will start by saying that I have the latest built of Premiere and that’s CS4.2
I’m trying to edit 720 60p clips natively from my Panasonic GH1 camcorder and I have it set to interpret footage to 29.97 for slow motion. Its edits very well but sometimes when I use the razor tool to split a file, the second part of that clip will no longer play the audio. I even noticed a clip that had the audio missing half way when I didn’t even use the razor tool. Another time it was several clips in a row that was missing the audio.
This isn’t the first time. I was trying to edits clips on standard speed and I noticed that one of the clips couldn’t play the audio. I ended up saving everything and restart Premiere and luckily the audio was their. This time, with the slow motion clips, restarting Premiere is no help at all. I could start over on a fresh time line but I want to see if theirs any other solutions first.
I hope I was clear enough.

This is a shameless bump to get someone to attempt to give me an idea what to do... or even tell me a better way to copy DVD that I own onto an IPod

Audio issue when streaming from my MBP through 3rd gen ATV

Last night I was attempting to stream a legally owned movie from my iTunes library on my MacBook pro. The video worked just fine and looked amazing, however I didn't get any audio. I confirmed that the audio for the file worked on the MBP. I'm at a loss as to why the audio wasn't working.

Your first step is to determine if there is an issue with this specific movie or if it's a universal problem. Does ANYTHING from the MBP provide both sound and video?
Another thought is DRM coding but that should affect both video and audio. If the movie has DRM coding and your television does not, then the movie won't play. I'm not an expert but I don't think that that's your problem because you do get the video.

How can I 'join' audio tracks when importing audio book?

HELP!!
In the latest version of iTunes, 11.0.1, I can't find the 'JOIN Tracks' button which is needed when importing an audio CD to keep each disc treated as one book instead of storing each chapter as a separte entry. Without this, I can't find a way to keep the chapters to play in proper order as each CD, starts with chapter 01.
Thank you for your help

Join CD tracks
When you import songs from a CD into iTunes, you can group songs so they always play together (even when you’re shuffling songs).
Insert an audio CD into your computer’s CD or DVD drive, and click No in the window that appears.
When the songs on the CD appear in the iTunes window, hold down the Shift key to select the ones you want to join.
Click near the top-right of the iTunes window, and choose Join CD Tracks.

Can anyone help here?

Bootcamp 3.1 and imac windows 7 64bit update not installing. Audio issues!

After many days of work getting the windows 7 working in bootcamp in my imac 27 (still with audio issues) I eagerly awaited the bootcamp update and imac updates.
Neither will install.
Then I find that according to tech support as of now I have to reinstall Windows 7 again for the updates to work!
It took me 5 full 8 hours days to get all my scientific programs installed and working, now I find I can't even simply update the drivers I need. I don't want to reinstall.
My only issues are audio.
Here they are:
1) The headset jack works fine on the Mac side, but in Windows 7, it causes the i7 intel CPU to go crazy. There is no CPU spike on the mac side.
2) The headset jack in the imac is a trrs jack. The same as in the iphone, a tri-band jack that has three bands, two audio out channels and one mic in channel. A trrs headset works fine on the mac side with using the headset mic (as in iphone) rather than the built in mic. (this provides much better quality for sound recording). I don't want to use a usb mike.
In Windows 7 the mic part of the trrs headset does not work.
3) In Windows 7 when going into audio devices recording, no audio mixer shows up, so when I do video or audio screen capture the only way to capture the sound is through the speakers and then back through the imac built in mic, rather than directly through the unit. (terrible sound quality) On the mac side the mixer element works fine.
Now I find from other imac users that even the new updates for the imac on windows 7 don't address and fix the audio issues. I am sure not going to go through 5 more days work only to find the audio issues still don't work.
I need these audio aspects to work properly though!
I have tried to get drivers for the cirrus logic audio card, but guess what there are none available and cirrus logic doesn't even recognize the board or offer drivers.
I have many windows programs I must have for my scientific research!I bought the top of the line Imac with all the bells and whistles because Apple promised that the machine could run Windows 7 in bootcamp natively!
It doesn't. This has been a nightmare of problems.
Is Apple going to step up to the plate and make good on their promises?
Does any one have a fix for any of the audio issues, or know how to install the new drivers without a complete reinstall of Windows?
Installing a few sound drivers and software should not require a complete reinstall. Getting the proper drivers for the headset jack audio in and audio out jack should be the most basic of fixes. Making the audio mixer work should be elementary.
If you are an Apple tech person or an Apple user that can help on these issues, please do!
Thanks, Dr. Duke
An American profesor in Europe.
PS I will post this under Imac windows 7 updates without a reinstall and under
imac Sound issues.

On another thread a few people have responded saying that their imac has the same situation, the cpu is going crazy and the imac gets hot with headphones or speakers plugged in. But this doesn't happen in the mac side.
If you have an late 2009 imac and don't have these audio issues, let us hear from you. If you don't, lay out the problem here.
Here is my last two cents in to the inquiry.
Not only does the cpu run crazy but the imac 27 gets very, very hot. Since I unplugged the headphones, it runs much, much cooler.
Certainly, some Mac engineers should take care of this problem, it seems it is universal on all the imac 27's and from what I gather, the smaller screened cousins too.
Also, we certainly want a stereo mix option for audio in or out, or what is called "what you hear" or wave out. Imac is supposed to be much geared to multimedia apps.
Finally, the mic jack part of the trrs set up MUST be fixed! A lot of manufacturers are going to headset combo jacks as they call them, mic in and stereo out on the same tribanded plug. But, the old single jack for mic in and single jack for stereo out are two tiny parts of the hardware and super inexpensive for the manufacturer. Why in the **** to go to the "advanced" triplug if the **** thing doesn't work.
Mac has a great reputation. I hope they remedy these problems right away.
Anyone whose imac 27 or 24 whose headset plug is working correctly. Let us know! I don't think anyone's is, but I think that few people understand that their cpu is running so much faster with the plug in, plus few even understand the combo jack and the triband, or trrs audio jack! Out of 4 audio technicians I talked to, not one of them knew what a trrs jack was or that you even have a mic in jack as part of the headset jack!
When I told one senior that it worked on the Mac side, he didn't believe for a while, thought my sound might be recorded from the onboard mic, but I proved it to him by tapping iaudibly on my iphone mic headset and and it showing up in garage band clearly and listening to big difference in audio.
As for a usb audio adapter, I am in a neon light environment and find that those adapters are more sensitive to electrical interference. Besides I want to use the headset jack as it was meant to be used!
Thats it.
Again, if anyone using an imac 27 and windows 7 64 or 32 doesnt have these problems, let us know! We are all anxious for a fix!
Best to all!
