Audio playback stuttering using AirPlay under iOS 8

I encountered a lot stuttering in audio playback with apples music app and Spotify using AirPlay mode with my AirPort express. It occurs not only in background use, but also when the apps are on top. Reseted all devices, nothing helped the issue. Very annoying, it never happend in the previous builds. I think it's a iOS 8 problem and hope Apple solves it soon. My internet works fine at 50 mbit though.

I've contacted Apple Care lately, and though they where very nice and kind, they pretended to never have heard about the issue and claimed, it should work. they gave it to their developing engineers though. Let's wait and see...

Using Mail under iOS 5 Mail continues to suggest addresses that have been removed from Contacts. How do I remove old adreesses?

Using Mail under iOS, 5 Mail continues to suggest addresses that have been removed from Contacts. How do I remove old, obsolete adreesses no longer in Contacts?

If you open Mail and then in its File menu at the top, click on Window and choose Previous Recipients, you'll get a popup window listing them. At that point, you can highlight and delete any/all.

Hi, I have a Beolit12, which stutters using airplay with my Imac

Hi Everyone
I hope some can please help
I have a Bang & Olufsen Beolit 12, which plays perfectly using Airplay from Ipad and Iphone 5, but stutters every 30 seconds or so from my Imac
Any ideas please!!!!!!

If you are still getting stuttering when the iMac, Beolit, and the wireless router are in the same room I'm not sure what the issue is. Unfortunately, I don't have a Beolit to test with.
The only other option I can think of is if you can borrow an AirPort Express. Use the Express with a pair of stereo headphones connected to its audio port. Stage the iMac, Express, and wireless router in the same room and find out whether or not you still get the stutters in the headphones when streaming from the iMac. If you do, it may be some configuration on the iMac that is the problem.

New MAC PRO: itunes audio playback-stuttering, glitching, skipping

I have a brand new mac pro 3.2ghz quad, with 8gb ram (bought a couple weeks ago). All seems fine with the exception of brief skips, glitches and stutters with audio playback in itunes. I tried updating to itunes 11 and this did not resolve the problem. My music files play fine on my girlfriends macbook pro (purchased over a year ago), and never had any problems on my old machine (imac 24inch aluminum). I went to apple with the problem and after multiple system recoveries they determined that the computer was faulty and sent me a replacement. I just received the replacement and tested out some downloaded music from the itunes store and the same problem happened. Am I just unlucky to get two computers with this issue? Is it the Mac Pros? Has anyone had this issue with mac based machines, specifically the mac pros? I saw another thread on the issue but seemed to be primarily windows users running itunes. The skipping happens as frequent as every 20-30 seconds to every few minutes, but it is definitely enough to notice
Thanks.
Baffled,

Hi Greg.
I seem to have discovered this problem this weekend. I listen to a lot of music from my apple devices and have done for years. What I have noticed this weekend is that both my Macbook 2008 and iMac late 2010 both suffer with a brief stutter every minute or so making the enjoyment of listening to music a little annoying. Both are running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. My iMac is running the 2.93 GHz intel i7 processor with 8GB ram. Playing music should be a doddle!
From my point of view both Macs are running independently to external speakers. The music I am running on those 2 devices has been ripped on both devices. e.g. Macbook has ripped and plays Apple Lossless format and my iMac has ripped and plays songs in 320kbps. My guess is its a bug with the new iTunes 11 or Mountain Lion although I have been using 11 since its release.
While I'm not able to supply a fix I think its safe to say its not your new Mac Pro. One other thing to note is that I have been running up until this weekend a 7 or 8 year old Mac Mini as a media device in my kitchen playing Apple Lossless format with no issues at all. This device however is running Snow Leopard with all updates applied. The Macbook is now playing the Lossless music with stutters that was ripped on the Mac Mini that was playing OK.
So is the problem Mountain Lion?
Take care

Audio playback delay using M-Audio Audiophile

I have an MBP, 2.66 GHz i7, 4GB 1067 Mhz DDR3 Ram. External monitor on DVI. OS X 10.6.8
I've just started using FCP X and have cut one movie with it ( http://youtu.be/SUQLTk4aCS8 )
However I am now experiencing a problem that audio playback is about 10 frames behind the video, even though the waveform on the screen lines up with the video.
I am using an M-Audio Audiophile firewire audio interface to playback audio. When I switch back to the internal soundcard audio sync is fine. This problem started after I updated the M-Audio driver, as the one on the MBP was the one that transferred across when I copied all my files from my previous MBP (I can't remember Apple's name for this process, when you connect the new computer to old computer by firewire and transfer all files and settings automatically)
The M-Audio control panel wasn't working on this MBP so I updated to the newset driver, the 64 bit version. I assume the i7 and OS X 10.6.8 is 64 bit but I am not positive as I could not find any guidance on my computer or elsewhere.
Can anyone help me with this? I prefer the sound quality of my Audiophile, I find the internal soundcard very trebly. Just want to get rid of the playback delay.

Thanks for responding.
It seems quite strange that the driver update caused the problem...maybe I should roll back to the previous driver? worth a try I guess...although this is a new machine so doing that could cause other problems.
ANNNNOYING....on the internal soundcard, whenever I click the mouse or scroll the timeline I hear annoying clicks and pops thru my speakers.
What kind of 'pro' software doesnt let u use an external soundcard. I think Apple really screwed up here. I feel sorry for everyone who invested in full-on FCP suites and training time for editing feature films who are no longer going to get updates and support.

Audio Output while using Airplay

I have a rather unique requirement that has me stumped. We have an Apple TV driving a projector that does not have audio output so when we mirror the display from the iMac using airplay we want the audio output device to be "Internal Speakers" but that can not be selected in System preferences. Does anyone know a work around for this configuration or will I have to get seperate amplifier and attach it to the optic audio output from the Apple TV?
Thanks
Brian

Well, since I can't imagine this being a feature of Airplay I assume we're either hitting the limitations of the technology, or it's a bug. Knowing Apple I suspect it's a limitation of Airplay, perhaps because audio and video are sent out as an integrated stream?
I agree, this does suck, since all I have to use as audio is the tiny 1 watt speaker on my Epson projector! I can't even use audio out from the Apple TV, since all it has is that useless optical port. Very frustrating indeed.

Installed iTunes 11.1.4 on Windows 8.1 and audio playback stutters then speeds up or stops.

Is there a way to fix this?
I can manage to get the audio files to playback normally when I run as Administrator & Windows XP SP3 Compatibility, but when I attempt to "Get Info" on a track the program will crash, so this is only a temporary fix.

Well, after some messing around I solved the problem.
Edit>Preferences>Playback>Play Audio Using: "Windows Audio Session" allows the files to playback normally.

Audio playback stuttering/skipping randomly itunes 10.1 mac 10.6.5

Having issues with playback on my mac since installing 10.1.
It seems to glitch a track randomly and skips a second of song or something.
7% of my CPU is in use and ive got nearly 4gig of ram free. itunes library is about 32 gig bit its never been an issue before.
Is this a known issue in 10.1 itunes?

the forums are full of discussions about this issue.today i suddenly had the same problem.stuttering music.i tried the following to solve the problem,and so far it seems to work for me:throw out all the music from your itunes player,but keep the files in the library.re-import the music you want to listen to from the library now,and see if it solves the problem for you,too.

Audio output issue using Airplay Mirroring over Apple TV

I'm using the newest version of Apple TV to mirror my display from my MAC using the newest macbook pro with mountain lion 10.8.
The problem i'm having is whenever i try to change audio output in airplay mirroring mode the mirroring shuts off. I can't change outputs!! It's like it's forcing the macbook to use the apple tv hdmi port for audio. I NEED to use my USB DAC which i have connected to my MPB.
Grateful for any ideas, i did not expect the software to act as crappy as this. Using different audio sources successfully is something i took for granted.

Apple TV speeds up playback when using airplay?

Hi there.
I'm trying to airplay a cartoon from my Mac mini to my Apple TV. The cartoons are imported to iTunes.
If I open them on my computer in iTunes, the volume and picture is normal and working fine. However, when I Airplay that to my Apple TV, suddenly, it gets sped up by a bit... This increases the pitch of everything, as well as the speed of the show. What gives?
I used handbrake to convert the files to the "Apple TV 2" setting before I imported them.. here are screens of the settings for audio/video

one more weird thing, if I do a normal airplay of my screen to my apple TV (via the little button in top toolbar) the volume and everything is normal... so it seems to be iTunes doing this? But like I said, if I play it in iTunes and don't airplay it from there, the audio and everything is normal... what the...

When I use airplay it only displays the audio not the video

How can i display the image and the audio on airplay. It only shows the audio when I use airplay. Please need help.

This is usually due to the app not allowing video to airplay for nebulous rights reasons.
Check the app provider's website or itunes store reviews.

Airplay from iOS vs direct Apple TV streaming

Does anyone know if using AirPlay from iOS provides a lower quality than simply streaming directly from the Apple TV? For example, if I stream a movie from my Home Sharing library it will load faster than using the Apple TV to bring it down from the cloud. But, will it look the same? Or, if I rent a movie from the Apple TV will it be better quality than renting from Amazon Prime app and using AirPlay to view it?
It seems like using AirPlay might require twice the bandwidth and result in lower quality.
Thanks!

Thanks so much for the detailed reply.
So the only thing I lose by using AirPlay from an iOS device, vs streaming from the Apple TV directly, is some LAN traffic? The quality should remain the same because of buffering, but it takes extra LAN bandwidth to go from the iOS device to the Apple TV?
For Airplay yes, the quality should be the same, but for Airplay Mirroring it is different as the screen display frames are compressed on the fly and transmitted.
I am not 100% sure that some apps don't generate a stream as they run to send via standard Airplay which would alter quaity but no way of knowing for sure unless it was a game where the 'action' was live.
Standard Airplay just takes a pre-rendered video stream (which may be streaming on a website viewed in a browser on iPad), and provided it is AppleTv compatible can just be forwarded to the AppleTV as is. The clearest examples are where you sync a purchase from itunes store to iPad or rent/but on it - the downloaded file is just relayed to AppleTV to play, the same as it would be from iTunes on a PC/Mac using Home Sharing or playing an iTunes Store purchase from the cloud or renting there - the files are the same so if a purchase in itunes is 6GB, the rental or stream to play from the cloud will be the same.
Netflix and other services are rate adaptive on AppleTV so degrade stream quality on slower connections on the fly. Pros are near instant startup, cons potentially worse video pq.

I want to be able to use airplay to stream audio to another iOS device, and then use that audio stream to be used when recording video instead of the built in microphone / microphone input. Is this possible?

A third-party app probably cannot obtain a stream from another app. To the best of my knowledge, such a capability is not provided in the software development kit, apps being "sandboxed" from each other and so allowed to communicate only in very specific and limited ways.
I'm not completely sure what you mean by "limitations on video capture". An iPhone, to the best of my knowledge, can natively record video only through it's built-in camera, and audio while doing video recording only through the built-in microphone or mic/headphone jack. There might be a video recording app that would allow audio input from an external device connected to the dock connector, but I'm not sure.

Using Mountain Lion iOS and audio output will not change from internal speakers to AppleTV so that sound can come from TV speakers, why??

I am using Mountain Lion iOS and trying to connect my MacBook Pro to my plasma TV using AppleTV and AirPlay mirroring. The video does just fine. However, there is no audio coming from the TV. After activating AirPlay I try to select Apple TV as the audio output in System Preferences and it highlights it but then immediately goes back to Internal Speakers and only has sound coming from the MacBook Pro..
What's going wrong ?????

Are you sure that WIFI network doesn't have an AppleTV on it? Just because you don't own it doesn't mean there isn't one on that network. The laptop or better said the OS cannot differentiate between an AppleTV that you own or not. If it sees one on the network, it will show you one as being available. The automatic reconnection is happening probably because the last time you streamed to an AppleTV, you didn't drop that connection before sleeping the computer or shutting down iTunes.
