Audio Playback Freakout - Please help!!

Final Cut has been working fine, playback was working perfectly. Start working on my project today, and when I hit play in the timeline, the audio would either play, play at mid level, play in mono, or not even play at all. What do I do to fix this, it's affecting every file I edit now, even the footage that worked well in the past.

Your media shoudl be okay as long as the results are different each time you hit play.
First, simply restart FCP.
No?
Restart the Mac.
No? Trash the FCP prefs.
No?
Try relinking one of the problem audio files.

Hi Charlotte,
You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

Problem with my ipods audio!! Please help!

When I play any audio on my ipod, it usually only comes through one earbud. Even if the headphones are brand new, and in perfect working order. My brother has a perfect working set of headphones, and when he uses them with his ipod, they work perfectly. Then when I plug them into my ipod, the sound only comes through 1 earbud (the right side). Then if I lightly pinch to the upper right of the click wheel (right under the screen), it will start to work. But I sometimes have to pinch in different places. What could be the problem???? Do I have to send it in to be repaired? Please help!!!

Try a 3rd party site and you can either have it fixed or buy the part and fix it yourself:

IMovie Full Quality Export Video Stops As Audio Continues. PLEASE HELP

Im making a video of my camping trip, and I tried to export it using the Expert Settings. When I watched it, it stopped about 1.5 minutes in. The video freezes but the audio continues. I really need this video up soon! If you've experienced this and know how to fix it, please help! I used a Canon SD1000 to record, I have a macbook core duo with 1 GB memory, 60 Gig Hard Drive, and iMovie HD 6.0.3.
Thanks a bunch!
-Chris

Hi OK
Then there is sufficient space
And no external hard disk that interferes.
Then I would try to delete the iMovie pref file
iMovie
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist
and
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie3.plist
and see if a new export will work
(to make this easy one might just start a new account (log-in) and use this and re-try)
- other thoughts:
• versions: Mac OS X.4.9 and iMovie 6.0.3 AND QT ????? 7.1.6 ?
• Running (Apple Disk Util tool): Repair permissions and Repair hard disk
might help (second one needs start from CD/DVD or external hard disk)

Error while playing an audio file. Please help!

Hi all,
I'm trying to transfer an audio file from server to client and play it after transferring the whole file. But the play command opens up the player and gives me the error saying the file is corrupted. I see that some of the lines in the copied file are missing when compared with the original file. I couldnt understand why this is happening in a TCP connection. Can anyone please help me with this.
Thanks a lot in advance.

I'm posting my code so that you can tell where am I going wrong
//Server side writing file to client socket
do
i = fin.read();
if(i!=-1) outToClient.writeByte(i);
if(i == -1) outToClient.writeByte(-1);
} while(i!=-1);
//Client side reading file and playing it
DataInputStream inFromServer3 = new DataInputStream(clientSocket.getInputStream());
do
b = inFromServer3.readByte();
if(b != -1) fout.write(b);
if(b == -1)
end_time = System.currentTimeMillis();
break;
}while(b !=-1);
try
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files\\Windows Media Player\\wmplayer.exe /Play c:\\inf612\\612P1\\tcp2.wav");
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e.getMessage());

Adobe desktop audio question. Please help.

I have been having issues all day recording audio into a project with a usb mic. After watching tutorials, I noticed an issue. In every video when the person go's to audio hardware preferences they have "Premier pro WDM sound" selected in the Adobe desktop audio menu. For whatever reason I don't have the WDM sound option in my window. (Please see pictures below) Is there a way to get that option? Please help.The first piccture is from a video. The second picture is my computer. I am using a macbook. Thanks

'Premiere Pro WDM' will only appear on Windows as it is referring to 'Windows Driver Model'. This will not show up on you're Mac. It might prove easier using other software for recording (Audition for example) as it's a bit easier to process the audio afterwards, it has a larger waveform preview and it's a bit easier to chop bits out etc.

Macbook Pro running 10.6.8 and I can't update itunes as it freezes everything! It's open at 'determining gapless playback information' Please help! I've downloaded Combo and it has not help, and have had to force quit on the Mac each time I've tried!

Please help! I have already tried to use the Combo update, which I downloaded today but it has not help. Itunes then freezes at the point of 'determining gapless playback information,' no idea what to do next, please help!!

Deirdre_N,
you can download the latest iTunes (as of this writing) directly from Apple’s servers here. If you’re already running 10.6.8, then there’s no need to redownload the Combo update; iTunes is an independent download.

Audio Sync issues - PLEASE help

I have created many videos in iMovie '09. I have used the HD setting for them, 1280x720 even though they were shot in SD format. I have uploaded them to YouTube and they all view just fine. They all viewed just fine in Quicktime version 7.6.6, as well.
I have been doing this for years now, since at least 2009, and all video/audio has worked flawlessly together.
My most recent problem (past few months) has been that I am now running Mac OS X version 10.6.8. My iTunes is 10.4 and my Quicktime is now 10.0
And now my audio and video WILL NOT SYNC.
I need help very badly because I have a presentation on Saturday and I need to load a bunch of videos (in the same viewer window) and have those videos play in a loop, one right after the other, while I'm talking to prospective clients.
I put these same movies into Quicktime Player 7 version 7.6.6 and they play just fine, still - I just tested this on my imac and my macbook.
I need these videos to play in my iTunes, but the audio/video sync issues have ruined my video play.
Can someone PLEASE help me remedy this situation. I would be forever grateful. I have casually searched for an answer, repeatedly but I need to remedy this by Friday night.
Thank you so much,
YahYah

What format are you using in iTunes to play them back? Are these the exact same files as the one, you are playing back in Quicktime 7?

Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI - Please Help!

Hey everyone, I know this is a fairly common problem, and I've tried following the Logic Help and manual, but it hasn't solved it.
Last night, I was recording and mixing with my MOTU 828mkII into my Powerbook G4 running Logic Pro 6.4, and everything was working perfectly. Today, when I opened up Logic again to work on mixing the song I recorded last night, after not having changed a single preference anywhere, something bizarre happened. When I clicked the play button, the song began playing, but no sound came out, except for a high-pitched digital howling sound, and after about 5 seconds, an error message came up saying, "Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI." I tried other song files I'd recorded months ago, and even with brand new song files, and the same exact problem occurred!
Apparently, it's a discrepancy in the sample rates between my MOTU and Logic? But both have been set to 44.1 for months, and I haven't changed anything. The Logic Help said to change the Sync Mode to MTC Continuous (which I believe it was already set to) or MTC Trigger/ASD (which didn't help).
I even tried re-installing Logic altogether, and changing the sample rates both on my MOTU and Logic to 48 and then back to 44.1, and nothing works.
Please help me! What should I do?
Thanks very much,
TB

I suffered from this problem, and it was particularly frustrating to me since I was not even using MIDI, or so I thought. The "Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI" message seemed to crop up just as I was ready to print a final mix.
I did some research and learned that the Logic automation is actually MIDI data, furthermore, I learned that The sample accurate automation feature in Logic Audio results in randomly sized audio buffers being passed to plug-ins.
My solution?
Turn OFF "sample accurate automation" in the menu Logic Pro / Preferences / Audio...
The automation is very accurate even with this option disabled.

There are a few things you can try.
1) try another outlet in another room (different circuit group) to see if the sound is still present.
2) If you are using a power protection device between your PC and the outlet and it is old replace it with a new one.
Even replacing the motherboard generally won't cure this issue as it isquite likely to be related to a problem in the (earthing) grounding and wiring in your home.
please post your results her in our tread.

SWF displaying as Black or Blank Screen only the video audio play. PLEASE HELP!!

Hello,
I have tried getting my videos to play and all I get is a black screen with audio only.
After I got a blank screen, I uploaded the .flv (2MB) and the swf files to the server as well (same folder as the .html file) but that didn’t help – same blank screen.
Can anyone help me understand why this .swf won’t play?
Please help!
Thank you in advance!

Another DV audio sync thread - PLEASE HELP!!!

I've been using APP v2 for a number of years now and have never had this problem. I'm capturing footage from mini DV using a panasonic camcorder and today my audio is slowly drifting out of sync over my 1 hour tape. AHHHHHHHHHH!
I tried recapturing using the Canon XL1 it was shot on and same thing.
What is causing this, and why out of the blue did it start? In 3 years I've never had this happen and haven't changed computers, cameras, cables, anything?!
Please help. I'm going crazy

Actually, for Premiere Pro CS2 this is not uncommon. The Canon XL1 and GL1 cameras in particular had this problem. If you check the properties of the captured clip, you'll see that the clip frame rate is being reported as 29.96 FPS instead of the correct 29.97 FPS. Theis means the audio will get progressively out of sync with the video. It becomes really noticable after about 11 minutes. The problem is related to a non-standard audio sample rate created by the camera. Instead of being 48000 Hz, it is actually 48048Hz. This was a known problem with some older Canon cameras. Your best solution is to upgrade to CS4. Adobe corrects for this problem by creating conformed audio files. This essentially resamples the audio at the correct 48000Hz and eliminates the problem. If you search the Adobe knowledge base for "29.96" you should find a tech doc on this.
...Or, you could just buy a new camera.
