Audio playback in the authoring environment

I've got a couple of different audio files which I've put on
the main timeline in different layers. I'm trying to synch the
audio with some animation (also on the main timeline). I've set the
audio to stream so I can scrub back and forth. The problem is that
the audio that I embedded in other layers earlier in the timeline
plays even when I'm way past that spot in the timeline. I wind up
hearing multiple audio files. How do I stop this?
Thanks,
Michael

You may have turned off "audio scrubbing".
Try "SHIFT S" or select "VIEW > AUDIO SCRUBBING"

Any luck with audio playback on the iPad?

A general question to everyone using the HTML5 converter.
I have yet to find the magic combination for consistent audio playback on the iPad. Sometimes it plays, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the audio will play on a slide, then after refreshing the page it doesn't play, even if I sit and wait for it.... Please trust that I've clicked the audio button to download it. & I've compressed the crap out of the audio, not to mention I've tested this with a short presentation and a larger presentation, object audio vs slide audio... Results are the same. The audio is fully converting, as it plays on my desktop via Safari.
Is anyone else experiencing similar audio issues?

I don't have any answers for the inconsistency of audio playback, but I am going to have someone much more versed in java take a look at it and maybe provide some insight. Really, I have no idea.
If your getting consistent audio playback the second time through, great. I wish that was happening for me. I am getting about half of my 19 slides to play audio, and never the first or second slide.
I was having the audio repeat on each slide, but I was able to control it somewhat by manipulating the code. One way is to make sure your timeline in each slide of your Captivate file ends when the audio ends, and any object that is pausing the slide pauses within the audio timeline...... but what I found was happening is that the "pause" for each click box I have on each slide that keeps the module from automatically advancing to the next had a frame reference that was outside the frame area of the audio file....in the converted code.
if you get to the part in the html code of the converted file where it lists each slide and it's objects, check the frame reference for the audio against any object that pauses the slide....(below in bold):
in my example, the audio plays from frame 1 to 356, and then the click box pauses at 355, before I edited it, it was pausing at 359 (1 frame before the end of slide 1), causing the audio to start playing again.
Everyone's project is different, but this worked for me, and I hope it gives you some direction.

Audio playback slows to around 80% in the timeline for no apparent reason

Using FCP Studio 2 and halfway through editing a project, the audio playback in the timeline lagged to around 80% and made editing impossible. It just happened for no apparent reason. I've tried deleting preferences and that doesn't help.
Strangely when I select the audio file from the bin it plays at normal speed in the canvas.
The same thing happened to a project on my MacBook Pro. It's making life very difficult!! PLEASE HELP!

Have you tried trashing your render files (Tools > Render Manager) and re-rendering?

Best Practices: Clustered Author Environment

Hello,
We are setting our CQ 5.5 infrastructure in 3 datacenters with ultimately an Authoring instance in each (total of three). Our plan was to Cluster the three machines using “Share Nothing” and each would replicate to the Publish instances in all data centers. To eliminate confusion within our organization, I’d like to create a single URL resource for our Authors so they wouldn’t have to remember to log into 3 separate machines?
So instead of providing cqd1.acme.com, cqd2.acme.com, cqd3.acme.com, I would distribute something like “cq5.acme.com” which would resolve to one of the three author instances. While that’s certainly possible by putting a web server/load balancer in front of the three, I’m not so sure that’s even a best practice for supporting internal users.
I’m wondering what have other multi-datacenter companies done (or what does Adobe recommend) to solve this issue, did you:
Only give one destination and let the other two serve as backups? (this appears to defeat the purpose of clustering)
Place a web server/load balancer in front of each machine and distribute traffic that way?
Do nothing, e.g., provide all 3 author URLs and let the end-user choose the one closest to them geographically?
Something else???
It would be nice if there was a master UI an Author could use that communicated with the other author machines in a way that’s transparent to the end-user – so if Auth01 went down, the UI would continue to work with the remaining machiness without the end-user (author) even knowing the difference (e.g., not have to change machines).
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Day's documentation (for CRX 2.3) states in part, "whenever a write operation is received by a slave instance, it is redirected to the master instance ..." So, all writes will always go to the master, regardless of which instance you hit.
Day's documentation also states, "Perhaps surprisingly, clustering can also benefit the author environment because even in the author environment the vast majority of interactions with the repository are reads. In the usual case 97% of repository requests in an author environment are reads, while only 3% are writes."
This being the case, it seems the latency of hitting a remote author would far outweight other considerations. If I were you, New2CQ, I would probably have my users hit the instance that's nearest to them (in terms of network latency, etc...) regardless or whether it's a master or a slave.

They each seem to point to some degree or another to using Versioning, but I've gotten those errors whether the "Use Delta Versioning..." checkbox is checked or unchecked. I do have the standard versioning settings set in the IMG, the standard delivered settings. And it's referencing the same file, _groupManProps.txt, that doesn't exist in any of the packages I've tried to publish/check-in. I've tried both AICC and SCORM content and I get the same errors.
We have an ECC6 system on EHP5, and using Authoring Environment version LSOAE09_0-10006103.
I'm running the Authoring Environment on a 64-bit Windows 7 PC.
I've tried to publish/check-in with the following versions of the Java SDK:
1.4.2 Update 13
1.4.2 Update 19 (the latest in 1.4.2 with a Windows installer available)
6 Update 14 (a colleague is using this version successfully with the AE)
6 Update 23
Each of those were the 32-bit versions after trying a 64-bit version of one (based on my PC's OS) and getting an unrelated 64-bit error.
I would appreciate any experience or wisdom any other users here have to share.
Thanks!

It was an adjustment we made on our ISA 2006 server. Under
1. Open Array - Configurarion - General
2. Select Additional Security Policy - Configure Flood Mitigation
3. On the Flood Mitigations Tab, there are a number of flood mitigation settings that can be configured.
The setting we had to adjust is under the "Maximum HTTP requests per minute per IP address (Click on Edit)
Increase the "Limit:" setting. We set it to 1500 which resolved our problem.
4. Apply the policy and wait for the configuration to be updated on all array members ( may take several minutes)

SAP LSO Queries on Portal and Authoring Environment

Hi Gurus,
We are in the Process of implementing SAP LSO in ECC 6.0 environment.
Can the gurus give some pointers on the following quries:
Portal / Authoring Environment:
1. How does the Collaboration Functionality Work in LSO Portal? Can you provide me a pointer for any documents or links the configuration and set up.
2. I tried to install the LSOAE 6.00 in my PC. The Installation was successful but I am not able to open the application. I already have JDK 1.4.2 on my PC. Is there anything else that I need to do for opening the application?
3. Can we link a PPT directly from the CMS without using the Authoring Environment? If so can you provide me the details on how this can be set up. ( Will the WBT functionality work without the Authoring Environment in SAP LSO).
Please provide information.
Thanks and Regards,
Madhan.

1. How does the Collaboration Functionality Work in LSO Portal? Can you provide me a pointer for any documents or links the configuration and set up.

Pls update the JRE to latest version.
3. Can we link a PPT directly from the CMS without using the Authoring Environment? If so can you provide me the details on how this can be set up. ( Will the WBT functionality work without the Authoring Environment in SAP LSO).
No you can't do that, U need to publish any content form AE only. So that u can update the Publisher Database.
Manually u can have the content in CMS, but no tag to it for SAP or in AE. Repository

Learning Solution- Authoring Environment

Hi,
I am able to create courses in Authoring Environment which can be run in Content Player.
How do an user of portal access the course created using Authoring Environment in Enterprise portal ??
I have released the course, and it is available in KM content(CMS).
My portal user uses stsndard BSP pages available in Business Package BPLEARN502_0-20000624.
Regards,
Debasish

Hello,
1. How are all these 3 connected?
SAP Learning Solution consists of a Web-based learning portal, Training Management in the SAP back-end system, and an authoring environment.
Depending on your role in the company, SAP Learning Solution offers you the environment to enable you to competently fulfill your tasks.
Training Management supports both Web-based learning methods and classroom learning by providing access to the virtual learning environment in the learning portal. Training Management is an integral part of SAP Learning Solution.
2. Who's responsibility is it to create content or use the AE? i.e. is it the functional consultant or the end users?
As an author or instructional designer, you are responsible for the course content:
○     You create and structure the course content and tests.
○     You store the created content in the Content Management system.
○     You publish the completed content in the application system so that the course administrator can find and assign the reference to the relevant course content when he or she creates WBTs.
The Authoring Environment contains tools that authors and instructional designers can use to create course content and tests. External authoring tools can be easily integrated into the Authoring Environment.
3. Is their a document / link explainng the navagation of AE & CMS?
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/6a/a3a73b6594fc26e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
4.Also, once a content is ready, how do we publish this to the end-users, how can we track it, activate it for tests, etc?
i.e. Assume I already have content in a CD, how should I publish it?
You need to import this data as metadata from the AE and create content and checkin, release anc publish in AE. Now in Training Managment system ( Backend) Create course type Web based training.
Now you will be able to find the course in the learning portal.

Audio Playback Issues in Premiere Pro 8.1.0 with AJA Kona 3

Hi,
I'm supporting a couple of edits running the latest version of Premiere Pro. The editors are experiencing some strange stuttering/glitching audio playback via the installed AJA Kona 3 cards, manifested as follows:
When scrubbing using keyboard arrow keys for any prolonged period of time, audio either begins to stutter or fails to playback (despite there being activity on the audio monitors within the software)
When playing audio with unrendered effects (nothing too challenging, unrendered titles etc.), the audio will occasionally not play at all or will begin to stutter also.
Specs are as follows:
HP z800 running Windows 7 64-bit
2 x Intel Xeon X5650 CPUs
32GB RAM
512GB Samsung SSD
nVidia Quadro 4000 (latest drivers installed)
AJA Kona 3 (latest drivers installed)
Wacom Intuos 4 tablet (latest drivers installed)
Storage is a SMB share connected via a dedicated 1Gb/s ethernet link (Intel PRO 1000 card) and media is largely DVCPRO HD 100 wrapped as OP1a MXF, with corresponding sequence settings.
I've played with various RAM and Playback settings (including setting the AJA video playback buffer to 'minimum' as suggested on another thread regarding audio playback), but the problems persist. Is there anything else I can try, or more information I can provide?

Since it worked with CS5.5, check with Blackmagic to see if they have updates for CS6
I know from other discussions that an nVidia driver update was needed for at least some people upgrading to CS6

Authoring Environment Integration with SkillSoft

Has anybody ever integrated an External Course provided by Skillsoft, with the Authoring Environment?.
The Course is SCORM v 1.2 Compliant but each time I try to do a test run using the Content Player it gives the following error message---
" SkillSoft Course Player has encountered an error while communicating with the Learning Management System. As a result, your session will be closed."
Has anybody ever encountered this before?. Any inputs?
Once I perform the consistency check on the course in the local work directory, it still does NOT give me a 100% error free result.
It says the following error--

No Audio Playback in Music Videos that were converted from MPEG to MPEG-4

Friends -
I am using iTunes as the default player for all types of audio files. I have not downloaded any supplemental video or audio Codec files (yet). Windows Media Player (11.0.6001.7000) is my default player for videos. When I recently converted a batch of old music videos from MPEG format to MPEG-4 format, I lost the audio playback on the converted files when trying to play back using iTunes. Audio works fine on the original MPEG files from iTunes. After syncing my Video iPod, the video playback is fine on the MPEG-4 files, but there is still no audio. Any suggestions?

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

No audio playback from timeline in fcp x.

i have an issue with audio playback from the timeline. i can see it on the VU meter, but i can't hear it. i can hear it in the clip in the event library, but when i drop it to the timeline i hear nothing. i have changed settings in audio setup but nothing seems to work. i use a blackmagic intensity pro card to route audio to external speakers.
everything works as it should with all other software including fcp 6, itunes etc.
i also tried some headphones (after setting audio output to headphones) but still could not hear anything.
what am i doing wrong?

just tried one more time to re-route audio through line out and it worked!! so changed back to blackmagic card and VIOLA!! there it is.
this forum is amazing, all you need to do is post a question, you don't even have to wait for an answer.
cheers and thanks from OZ.

Audio Playback issues with quicktime 7 and iTunes - distorted sound

I was informed by my Soundcard manufacturer that Quicktime7 now requires a "real" WDM driver.
Many soundcards seems to have a "fake" WDM driver and this leads to chopped up sound that is completely distorted / garbled and impossible to listen to.
The fix is to downgrade to an older version of quicktime and iTunes.
I'm posting this because it was driving me crazy that there is no information on this in the support pages from Apple even if there are plenty of reported issues with audio playback. The system requirements from Apple does not mention the WDM driver either. I am not sure if this "true" WDM driver has to be "windows signed" and all unsigned drivers are "fake".
I'm sure the changed requirements has changed because of the need to address more audio channels but it would be great if the "safe mode" would accept "fake" WDM drivers.
I have also requested a driver revision from my soundcard manufacturer. We'll see...

By way of experiment, try updating your QuickTime Player to the most recent version.
Does that help with the iTunes problem?

I have created a PDF with mp3 audio clips, the file works on PC's with audio playback (WIndows 7, 8 ) however the audio does not play when hosted on a website or an ipad/tablet computer or smart phone when used with PDF reader
