Audio Playback lost intermediately

I have a new Thinkpad T430s that was preinstalled with Win8, but later, at my request, wiped and preinstalled with Win7 ultimate. From the start, there were problems with the Audio. Startup sounds played OK, but then, any attempt to play an MP3 file or a movie resulted in an error message. This happened regardless of player used (MS Media player, Nero software, and even when playing movies/sounds within Powerpoint Presentations). For example, attempting to play an MP3 file with Windows media Player gives rise to the message "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file."
Strangely enough, It is sufficient to open the "Sound" applet in the Control Panel - without changing anything! - to resolve the problem for a while, until it reappears at some stage (the problem nearly always appears after a cold reboot, but usually not after wakeup).
I have tried everything I can think of. The only thing that removes the problem permanently is disabling the "High Definition Audio Device" in Device Manager (a device that seems to be using Microsoft drivers), To clarify, this device appears in addition to the Realtek High Definition Audio device (that uses the Realtek drivers)
Uninstalling and reinstalling the latest audio drivers from the Lenovo web site did not change the situation.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Removed the Realtek Audio software from Lenovo web site (6.0.1.6710/5.10.0.6710)
and replaced these with older drivers (Realtek Audio 6.0.1.5869.)
This seemed to solve all audio problems, This took out the Dolby Home Theater 4 in the process but at least the audio is 100% robust now.

The audio plays fine in the project screen but in fullscreen playback the audio is lost on certain clips often alternating with each clip. How to fix?

Audio is fine in project screen play back but when full screen playback is used the audio is lost from alternating clips. This carries over to the exported file/final version. This is my 1st time using I movie.

Hey did you find any solutions? I'm running into the same problems, would appreciate feedback and possible ways to fix this problem?
Thanks!

No audio playback QT 7.0.4

I really need help from you wizards...
I've just upgraded QT to 7.0.4 and have lost all mp3 audio playback. I was on QT 6.5.2 running under OSX 10.3.9 (refuse to upgrade to Tiger cos of compatibility issues). It also does not playback audio on some video files with AAC audio MPEG-1 muxed files are no problem).
I've tried rolling back to 7.0.1 with no luck.
Any ideas?

Hi Scrapesuiter
Nope, I use Itunes to handle MP3 files and they play fine....I also checked the Audio Midi setup. I've rolled back my version to 6.5.2 and everything is hunky dory...It could be a system issue that would require a clean install. When I get time I may just do this.
Thanks for your help anyway. Nice to know help is out there.

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.

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 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?

Maybe DTrace can be

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...?

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.
