Audio playback interrupts randomly

What might be wrong, when the imported .aif or .mp3 file playback interrupts after few seconds of playing?
In timeline audioeditor same track plays fine, but in canvas it only plays for few seconds.
The audio playback is behaving like a scratched DVD, or like it was too heavy for the processor.
There is not any moving images, as I tried to start a project by first importing the music, but even it does not function properly.

And to answer my self, I found the solution from the preferences:
The chekbox "pause audio playback" when sync is lost, was checked. Unchecking it cleared the problem.

  • Randomly Pausing Audio Playback/Restoring Question

    My iPhone 3G will on it's own, randomly pause audio playback (Pandora, iPod) when a 3.5 mm jack is plugged in, this takes any-wear from 10 secs to 30 mins, and this never happens when I use Apple OEM iPhone headphones. I went to an Apple store and the proposed resolution was to restore my iPhone as new. So my first question is: if I restore my iPhone as new, load music and a few apps on it and this does not fix the problem, can I restore my iPhone to the current state that has all my apps and data? My other question is, does anyone else have this problem?
    Thanks!
    -Mike

    I don't have this problem.
    But your question about restoring your phone to it's current state, yes. When you plug your iPhone into iTunes, right click on the phone in the column on the left and select "backup phone". (That is if iTunes doesn't automatically start syncing/backing up.) After that you perform a restore which erases the phones and updates to the current version. At that point, iTunes should prompt you to install the backup.

  • Having random crashes during audio playback.

    Greetings,
    I seem to be having some issues with crashing during audio playback.  Here are my specs:
    MSI K8N Neo2 Plat  (1.B BIOS)
    AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (Winchester)
    4x512 Corsair TWINX 1024 3200C2PT (Bought at seperate times, but revisions are almost exact and they run stable)
    NVIDIA GeForce 6800
    Creative Audigy 2 ZS
    Forton Source FSP 400W
    It seems to do the same thing every time.  The audio will start skipping (in more than 1 media player) and after no BSOD, the computer will reboot itself.  I have it set to show a BSOD as well.  It has even started to ask to check my D: drive for errors after this.
    The problem first started to occur after a couple of things.  I recently updated my bios to the 1.B version as stated.  And a week or so ago I did a fresh install of Windows.  The sound was working fine with the new BIOS, but now with the new Windows install it has had issues.  Are there any known issues with the Audigy2 ZS and the new 1.B BIOS that I just didn't experience before?  Granted, I did not have my old install of Windows long under the new 1.B BIOS.
    At this moment I am using the AC97 onboard audio to see if that crashes as well, and just to hopefully have the random crashes stop happening.  I know there are quite a few avenues to take, I am just looking for opinions on which would be the best one.  Reflash the bios to an older version?  Try the Audigy2 in a different PCI slot? (I had it in the 2nd to bottom as the NIC is plugged into the orange PCI)  Contact Creative for an RMA or repair of the card?  I only bought it on December 16th, so it's fairly new.  Something else I am maybe missing?  A BIOS or Windows setting?
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.  If I need to provide any more info, please say so and I will promptly.
    Thanks.

    I have the same MB and CPU but I am using the onboard sound and have not had any problems with that.
    I can recommand that you bump up your memory voltage to 2.6~2.7 and loosen up your memory timings to something like 2.5-5-5-8-2T.
    Then remove all drivers from your Audigy, disable your onboard sound and remove those drivers, shut down and install your Audigy and boot up allowing Windows to find your new hardware and then install the drivers.

  • IPhone 4 audio playback cuts out after latest update (5.1)

    My phones audio playback ( podcast, audiobook or music) cuts out at random intervals during playback.
    This happens when listening through apple headPhones or my audio lead aux input to my stereo.
    This has only started since the last software update (5.1). It's really frustrating as you often hit the jump back or forward arrows when restarting, instead of the intended Play symbol ( they are close together). This is really frustrating when your listing to an hour+ podcast.
    Is anyone else having this problem since the update?

    Same problem here! My phone was functioning correctly after the update until today, when it randomly attempted it's own emergency call, then requested that I turn on location services. When I hit cancel, it repeatedly requested that I turn on the service. When I agreed to turn on location services, it defaulted to the screen with the iTunes logo and the USB cable. Since then, I have been unable to get it to function. The phone has been switching between a black screen and the apple screen and buzzing periodically. When I touched the apple, it pixellated and melted away. I did see a message that the iPhone needed to be activated once and very briefly. I managed to connect it to iTunes using an old troubleshooting guide, but when I asked iTunes to restore it to factory settings (politely, thank you), it gave me error 21 (unknown error) and said it was unable to restore.
    Hopefully someone has an answer...?

  • Bugged audio playback? When I start working with more than 1 audio track.

    Hi!
    I have been using premiere elements 12 for editing FullHD videos.
    Brand new for me just bought it like 2 weeks ago.
    Now during the last couple weeks I have had this MAJOR proglem with editing the audio.
    This problem is headache and turns my simple editing into almost impossibilites.
    I have had this problem with all my projects. _ALL_
    Usually the problem seems to appear when I want to start working with several audio tracks.
    At somepoint my projects just get ruined, I simply cannot hear the audio tracks.
    The audio starts to disapear randomly from all the audio tracks.
    It is not only playback problem. When I exported the video, the audio was partly missing, same as the project.
    I have tried to look help on forums and search all what I could find, but havent been able to solve this.
    Small fix has slightly helped:
    I export audio to single track and bring it back to project. This works but I still usually have more editing to do.
    I simply cannot understand why the playback disapears, I fear it is a bug.
    I found lot of earlier version problems on people with similar type of problems, but no help for this version of program.
    To solve the matter I have changed my audio setting in PE12.
    Tried Premiere Elements WDM Sound and ASIO4ALL V2, but same problem on both.
    I have looked up that my audio playback device and PE12 matches, and are not muted, and volumes maxed.
    I have deleted my C:\ appdata\roaming\adobe  premiere elements & premiere elements 12 folder preferences.. not helping..
    I press the update pretty much everyday hoping for new version.. But yes, program keeps telling me its the latest.
    I usually only work with 3 audio track maxinum. And I am doing really the most basic stuff here..
    I have set all my audios to foreground and it has given me best results, but it does not seem to take the problem away as at somepoint randomly my audio playback is missing again, randomly across the playback.
    Please anyone? I am feeling hopeless here.
    Info on my computer:
    Operating system: Win7
    Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) x4 955 processor 3.20 GHz

    First of all, thank you for replying my message!
    I will go and try to answer best I can.

    What are you or the program setting as the project preset in the new project dialog. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and its Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size readings.
    I opened new project and this is what i got:
    Editing mode: HD 1080i
    Timebase: 25,00 frames/second
    Frame size: 1920 x1080
    Audio is 48000 Hz
    (I dont know how to change these, btw. Program don't seem to let me change editing mode.
    I also looked up my most recent project and found these settings:
    Editing Mode: DSLR
    Timebase: 30,00 frames/second
    Frame size: 1920 x1080
    ..and same audio settings
    Do the problems persist if you start a new project? Do you find the audio problems develop when the Timeline content is fairly well developed or can the problems occur when there a minimal amount of content of those tracks? Let us look at the size and duration of this project.
    Yes, I have had this problem with all my projects. Sometimes it goes away tho, just enough for me to work bit more. My work progress usually starts by clipping the video material, like 1h material to 8minutes in clips. After that I want to work with audio tracks, and here problems start! When I start working with more than 1 track, so the problem is at later stage. To fix the problem a small fix I have used, I export audio like music and effects tracks together to 1 wav and bring it back. After that, I start working with narrate track. To describe the problem with audio:
    Audio Randomly starts to disapear when I playback, and can also be gone if I export the video out.
    My source videos total size are usually within 80Gb max limit and audio edit material 300mb total.
    In my last project my biggest source video was 47GB and leingth of 1h 4m, in addition to that I had 3 smaller videos, sizes of 1GB, 1,54GB and 300MB.
    Is there any evidence that you are accidentially moving the audio track rubberband to alter the audio volume. That rubberband is the orange line that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip when you are looking at the wave form display style of that audio track. The rubberband represents audio volume.
    No, audio volumes might have been adjusted in my tracks but they are present. The problem is usually like ~2-5seconds, a random audio track can be heard (like music or narrate) or just no sounds at all. This makes it very difficult to work with the audio. Also I gotta say that this problem starts by simply having the 2-3 audio tracks.. In my recent project the only adjustment I used to edit the audio was fade in/out.
    I don't have any other audio problems with any other programs.
    I am more than happy to provide more information if needed. I hope this information helps.
    In addition I can say that when I close Adobe Premiere Elements 12, it crashes. No idea why.
    I have also looked up my firewall settings, anything involved adobe and premiere..
    In addition some effects like HD text templates make "Adobe Media Core CS6" crash. I tend to just not use em, or if I need em, I add em at end of the edits.
    I hope this helps, I would really like to solve this problem.
    Thank you alot for taking the time to answer! I welcome anyone to help mee too! Please giev links to similar problems too. Thank you everybody!

  • The Audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog) doesn't work.

    Every time I login to KDE through KDM, the notification gives me this message: "The Audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog) doesn't work. Falling back to default"
    Everytime I try to play an audio file, the notification gives me the same message.
    But everything else such as system sound, online video work.
    What can I do to make it work?
    thank you for your help

    I have the same problem under the same conditions the original poster described. However, under System Settings -> Multimedia -> Device Preference I don't have default as device listed. The devices I can pick are:
    -Esound (ESD)
    -HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog)
    -HDA Intel, NVIDIA HDMI (HDMI Audio Output)
    -Jack Audio COnnection Kit.
    I can also pick HDA Intel (NVIDIA HDMI) when I check  'Show advanced devices'
    When I use Esound I have sound for a while, until after a random time it falls back to the underlying device, which makes sound disappear. When I use HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog), it falls back immediately on logging in and the other choices do never fall back, but when I use them, I have no sound at all. After I loose sound when Esound falls back to another device, sometimes writing sudo /etc/rc.d/alsa restart gives sound back, but mostly I need to relog/restart the X-Server to get sound back.
    Is my issue related to the original poster his problem? And how can I fix it?

  • No Audio Playback due to Error Message "Disk is too slow. (Prepare) (-10001)"

    Out of the blue, no audio playback.  Was working just fine earlier today.
    I repeatedly get the error message:
    Disk is too slow. (Prepare)
    (-10001)
    NOTE: I have more than enough disc space.  That is NOT the issue.
    I also just got a second error message:
    Part of the Project was not played
    This project has too many real instrument tracks to be played in real-time. To optimize performance, see the 'Optimizing GarageBand performance' page in GarageBand Help.
    NOTE: Odd as I have only 2 tracks in the GarageBand file.
    Any others experience this?  Suggestions?

    Have a look into the Preferences folder (YourUserFolder/Libraries/Preferences/) and trash all Logic preferences.
    You'll have to setup the program again.
    cheers

  • Premiere Elements 12 - Gaps in audio playback

    Hello everyone!
    I have a problem with Adobe Premiere Elements 12: when I play video in timeline or preview window, there are lots of gaps and pauses in audio playback, even though video is playing smoothly. Usually the pattern goes like this: 2 seconds of clean audio - 0,5 seconds silence - 2 seconds of clean audio... etc.
    I have tried the following:
    - change audio buffer settings
    - change audio device (I have tested with integrated audio chip ("High Definition Audio"), M-Audio Fast Track Pro and cheap USB audio interface - same results with all of them)
    - start a new project with correct settings and import only one file
    - disable background antivirus monitoring
    Usually source material is AVCHD 1440x1080 25fps (PAL, MTS-file) from small Sony camera, but this problem seems to continue even if I insert only still photo and mp3 audio to timeline. CPU load is about 6% during playback. It seems like Premiere Elements makes these gaps to playback signal before sending it to audio hardware?
    Computer specs: Intel Core i7-4770 @ 3,4GHz, 16 GB RAM, 128GB SSD drive for OS & software and 2.0TB 7200 rpm drive for video, Intel HD Graphics 4600, Windows 8 (64bit).
    I would be really grateful if someone could give me some tips to solve this annoying audio playback problem.
    EDIT: I forgot to mention that this problem occurs all the time - even when video is rendered in timeline.

    Thanks for the quick response, TonyPh12345.  Clearly not what I was hoping for but not unexpected. BB

  • Performance hit in audio playback in Solaris 10

    Hi,
    I've noticed while trying out the Solaris 10 beta 72 that the audio playback quality took a major hit since Solaris 9. I was hoping that this would go away in the Solaris 10 release, but it's not the case.
    If I try to play an .mp3 file with mpg123 or even audioplay an .au file, there are regular clicks in the playback, audible about twice per second. Booting into Solaris 9, the audio playback is perfect.
    My intuition tells me that the integration of DTrace into the kernel is the culprit, but of course, I have no proof. Can anyone think of a way to test this theory? Can DTrace be disabled? Maybe DTrace can be used to figure out what's going on?

  • AIR + Android audio playback in background

    Hello everbody,
    at the moment I am evaluating the realisation auf a radioplayer using a rtmp stream for android devices.
    There are two question for which I could not find any advices or resoltions.
    My questions are:
    1.) Is it possible to play/continue an audiostream, even if the app itself is pushed into background?
    2.) How are updates handled for apps in Android-Store? Is it the same as with the updateroutine for AIR on Desktops?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.
    Regards,
    wman

    Hi Varun,
    thanks for your answers.
    Are there any ressources/links, maybe on adobe devnet, available for audio playback while app is in background?
    I already searched the web so far, but could not find any hints.
    but anyway thanks for your response!

  • Audio playback stops short

    Has anyone had problems with audio playback in a previewed or published presentation where the playback stop short and advanced to the next slide?

    Brian,
    The fact that this mp3 is about the same size as a standard 16 bit/44.1k stereo file of a 3 or 4 minute song, indicates to me that it's an extremely long file.
    I'm willing to bet you have run into the measure limit within a Logic song. It's 2000 something (can't remember it exactly).
    The standard work around is to drop Logic's tempo to something really slow, thus allowing the larger file to be able to play within the Logic song limit.
    See if that's it...

  • X201 hangs and makes noises during audio playback

    Hello, I've a 3249CTO X201 with 8g of ram and an updated Hdd (seagate momentus xt 500gb with 4gb ssd).
    I had issues with the Hdd that where partially resolved with a seagate firmware update (the hdd kept going from standby to active mode without apparent reason and it was assumed to be a too agressive power saving mode...)
    Anyway, my issue here is the annoying chirping sound coming out the speakers during any audio playback (online audio streams, films, mp3, youtube... you name it!) anytime the Hdd is accessed.
    It even seems like everything just hangs for anywhere between 0 and 2 seconds at the exact same time.
    It only happens when on battery and using w7 pro 64bit. If I use ubuntu from my 8g sdhc card, it never occurs (even if I use chrome on both and watching the exact same youtube video). (NOTE that I did access the hdd from ubuntu to prove my point...)
    I think it is related to the power gestion of the system and I've tried a countless serie of different power management settings. It affect the frequency of the episodes (would occur more or less often) but it still happens.
    When plugged in, it never occurs....
    If it doesn't occur under ubuntu (I mean never!), it should not be hardware related, however the w7 way of managing power is different so I tend to think there IS a hardware issue (weakness) wich might be highligted by the OS.
    Anybody has a good lead on this?

  • No audio playback

    I'm getting an error upon itunes launch 'detected a problem with your audio configuration and audio playback will not work' and it isn't.  Upgraded itunes and problem persists.  Any other hints?

    It did not work so I started playing around with cables and found that the speaker cable was plugged into the wrong port!
    Always start with the simplest solution first I guess.
    Thx!

  • Audio playback delayed thru Firewire monitor - JVC BR-DV3000

    First I apologize for the length of this post, but I want to make sure I've adequately described the problem. For years, I've edited with FCP using a JVC HR-DVS2U (DV/SVHS combo deck) with great results. I use it to capture and output through firewire, also connected is a monitor and a UVW-1600 Beta machine.
    Now a buddy of mine also has a system using a JVC BR-DV3000. When I attempted to set his system up similar to mine, using the DV deck as the conduit for monitoring and recording to beta, he complained about audio dropping out at the beginning of transitions in the timeline. This was the weirdest thing! How does the DV machine know that a transition is taking place?! I thought it was just data out. I finally traded out machines with him and hooked it up to my system. At first, I didn't have any problems. I mainly edit 30-second commercials, so I played back a timeline with three dozen transitions in it without a hitch! So now I'm really confused, until one day I had a 20 minute long timeline of about 20 promos back to back, all digitized from beta. Sure enough there was the audio playback delay. I switched the audio playback from firewire to computer audio out and I did not have the problem, but I could not record out to tape in this configuration. Then I thought maybe it's just the length of the timeline, so I opened up a commercial timeline that plays back fine and pasted one of the beta promos in there. The 30 second spot played back fine and then when it hit the beta vid it had the audio dropout. Now understand, the audio is NOT out of sync, it just drops out for about two seconds when playing back from the timeline. You can watch the VU meter on the deck, it completely loses the audio for two seconds, mostly when you first start the timeline and at most transitions. I now think it may have something to do with the source material. I just digitized some video from DV that was shot on a JVC camera, when most of the stuff I shoot is from a Canon XL1. The JVC camera footage has this dropout issue. Any clues?

    This has happened to me too. The problem is with the firmware in older DV3000 decks. JVC has an update, but you can't do it yourself. JVC or your dealer will have to do it for you. In the meantime there is a workaround. Make sure your DV3000 is powered on FIRST. Then start FCP. That trick always worked for me. Good Luck.
