Audio plays for 4 seconds only

If I play a clip on a timeline in Encore DVD, the video plays in the monitor fine but the audio will stop after 4 seconds. This happens each time I start playback. The DVDs that I burn work fine, it is just a problem when working with clips on the timeline.

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that incomplete track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and click the arrow to the left of it, and then use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • Audio Plays for One Second

    Does anybody know what's happening when the audio plays for about one second and then cuts out. This is the same for both imported tracks and included scores (AquoVisit, CityStreet). You can see an example of what I am talking about here.
    If you know how to solve this problem, please answer and you'll receive points!!!
    Notes:
    I installed the trial version of the CS5 Master Collection from this page. I am running Mac OS X version 10.6.6 on a Summer 2007 "20 iMac. 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. I installed the trail just today (this is my second install as I tried uninstalling every file and reinstalling it all, to no avail). I input a working serial after the trial installed and asked if I would like to input a serial or install as a trial.
    Thank you!

    From the video you posted, it appears that the audio driver is being released in some way, which automatically stops the player.  There were some issues with OS X upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 that affected the audio plist files.
    The simplest suggestion is to:
    1. Open Finder and navigate to /Library/Preferences    (NOT your user library folder)
    2. rename  com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist to something else , or drag it to the trash.  It will be rebuilt.
    3. Launch Soundbooth
    If this fails to resolve the issue, see if you have the some problem in Premiere Pro and let me know the results.  We can continue to troubleshoot.

  • Theme audio plays for first few seconds of menu before dropped audio

    I created my first iDVD movie, and added a .wav file to the main menu. I also used a theme from iDVD4 (montage). When I preview the movie, however (and after burning, this is also on the final DVD), the theme audio plays very loudly for a few seconds while the main menu is booting up, before kicking over to the added audio. Is there any way to make this themed audio clip (which does not appear anywhere, all the audio wells have my added audio clip) disappear, so that I don't have to hear blindingly loud music for 5 second while the DVD boots up the main menu?

    check out the following link (altho the topic is not yet answered) may help with your sceanrio as well:

  • Audio plays for a second then goes dead

    It doesn't happen every time, but often, when I move the playhead to part of the file (in waveform editor or in a multitrack project) I only get a second or two of audio.
    The playhead continues to move, but I don't get any further audio and the meters don't show anything either.
    I have 10.4.3. Dual 800 Quicksilver (the first Quicksilver). I'm listening to the audio through the digital audio port (not an optical port - the powered port that they used for those Harmon Kardon speakers. It's not even actually digital, they just call it that for some reason). Speakers are plugged directly into the computer with this breakout cable: http://www.griffintechnology.com/archive/audio/prospeaker.html I don't think that is my problem, but thought I would provide the information just in case (the meters in Soundtrack go dead as well, which indicates to me that this is a software issue of some sort)

    I am having the same issue. I've tried connecting a variety of speakers including headphones to the Airport Express 802.11n with all the latest and greatest firmware updates. Same result with all. I've tried switching back and forth from Computer to Airport Exress and even Multiple Speakers. Computer output is fine even with Multiple Speakers. Nothing but a blip via Airport Express. My old Airport Express 802.11b/g worked fine in this exact configuration before it died. This replacement Airport Express 802.11n isn't showing me the love.

  • How to get audio playing itunes music only

    hi, i was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's possible to give me a solution to this
    i would like to have all sound by system or other applications disabled while itunes is playing
    when itunes is closed, i would like all system and app sounds enabled
    the purpose is to be able to hook up my mac to my stereo and listen to music without having any annoying sounds interrupting the music
    thanks

    Detour is a free app (no longer in development) that can reroute audio from different applications to different places (for example, I've got iTunes playing through my headphone jack and everything else through some USB speakers).
    I'm not sure if this is of any use to you, but hopefully it is.

  • My audio plays for skype call participants

    I just got a new headset (Mad Catz F.R.E.Q. 3) and since I started using this headset people I talk to on skype can hear what music I listen to or what games I play while skyping for some odd reason. I did some testing on this with Echo and found that even if I mute my microphone (not with the skype mute function, but on the actuall headset) any audio that I have on my PC will still be broadcast in skype. I tried using my old headset again (Steelseries Siberia v2) and then it worked perfectly, none of my audio was emitted to skype calls, but there has to be a setting somewhere that is at fault since my audio is heard even when my microphone is muted. I'm not sure if this makes any difference but I am also using a Deltaco external USB soundcard, that has never been problematic before though and I've used it for about 2.5 years now.
    Thanks for taking your time to read this through (and also thanks for the help if you bother with that part)!

    You would think with the audio sections of the motherboard being isolated from the rest of the components that it wouldnt have troubles like this. I have a request for support in with Gigabyte.

  • Audio plays for menu but not for the movie??

    Hi-
    I made a dvd with music from an mp3 playing over the menu. It works fantastically. Then when I play the movie, the audio is GONE.
    Note: I CAN get the movie audio to play when I increase the music level of the menu audio, but then when that happens the audio of the menu gets extremely distorted because its too loud. I dont want the level of the menu audio louder than the movie audio anyway. Anyone run into this?

    Hi
    iMovie and iDVD seems to have problems with various audio formats.

    • import this into iMovie then after edit closing iMovie
    • open iDVD and import the movie project
    (I never use the Share/Export to iDVD function in iMovie)

  • I just downloaded 15 songs, almost half will only play parts of the songs. Some only will play 2 seconds!! How do I fix this? Apple doesn't exactly have a customer service number and I've already paid for my purchases. This has never happened before.

    I just downloaded 15 songs to my ipod and only about half will fully play. The others only play a minute or two with some only playing for seconds. I have never had this happen before. There isn't exactly a customer service number for apple so I'm not sure what to do. I'm pretty irritated sonce I've paid for all of them. Please help!!!

    I would delete them from your library and then redownload them from the iTunes Store.
    Steps/instructions on how to redownload them can be found here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • Songs play for only 30 seconds

    my songs only play for 20-60 seconds (depends on the songs) and then moves to another song. How do I stop this from occurring?

    does this happen in iTunes? if so, it sounds like it might be a problem with either the audio file or something in the iTunes/iPhone transfer.
    can you try playing the file in another player? depending on the file type, Windows Media Player should work in Windows, but i don't know of other players in Macs, sorry. do you get the same kind of thing? if so, there is definitely something wrong with the audio files.
    if it does not happen, check a few songs to see what their start/end times are. to check this, select a file, go to "file -> get info" and go to the options tab. there, you will see the start/end times. be sure the start time is 0 and the end time is the duration of the file.

  • Audio Only Plays for 10 Secs in Q.T Pro

    I am running Quick Time Pro 7.01 and the audio is only playing for about 10 seconds. I havn't tried all audio file types but am having problems with 24 bit, 44.1kHz AIF and WAVs. I have had NO problems from using Version 6, so obviously is a problem with Version 7.
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    change the sync property (in the properties panel after clicking the keyframe where your sound starts) from event to stream.  retest.

  • My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

    My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested.  How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
    As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

    Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
    I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
    What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
    Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
    Peace,

  • Can't import songs and ones in library only play for 45 seconds

    I'm in the process of moving my music collection to a new computer with a bigger hard drive. I installed the latest version of iTunes on the new computer, copied all the folders and contents of the itunes folder to the new computer in the same location.
    I bought a couple new songs successfully but now I can't add any of the files from my previous computer to the new library. I was able to import a few songs that iI purchased when on my original machine but now they only play for 45 seconds and jump to the next song in the playlist (if check) And now when I drag and drop songs on the Library to import them absolutely nothing happens.
    And yes, the new computer is authorized and the permissions on the folders are read / write.
    Any one have an idea of how to fix this? If not, I just going to burn all my songs to CD and import them that way and say so long to iTunes... just too much BS to just move a music library!

    Sounds like the PC's authroization file is messed up, or else the iTUnes preferences files.
    Follow the directions in this article, the SC Info file holds the PC authroization for iTMS songs.
    iTunes Does Not Open After Upgrading
    And also deleted these 2 preferecnes files:
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    They will all get rebuilt when you open iTunes the next time. It should ask for authorization one last time, is all.

  • In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play start to finish.

    In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play entirely from start to finish.

    My Itunes previews have been playing fully now for the past few days. After trying every suggestion possible to fix the problem of 5-10 second previews, I took the advice on one feed to use OpenDNS for your network internet connection. There are internet sites that will instruct you how to do it. Just Google "opendns for (your operating system)". I have Windows XP and followed a video instruction at www.top-windows-tutorals.com/using-opendns.html. Afterward, close your browser and then flush the DNS Resolver cache; Start/Run, type CMD in the open field, click OK, in resulting window type ipconfig/flushdns, press return on keyboard. No guarantees, but my browser is faster and my Itunes previews are playing fully so far. But I still shudder every time I hit the preview button.
