Audio pops in PPRO CC 2014

I am getting PAINFUL audio pop in Ppro with MP3 audio tracks. As I move the CTI, it will max out and blow my eardrums to pieces. Any idea as to what would cause this?

I made a post about this a little over a year ago it looks like (Loud Pop On Moving of Playhead). I've found that adding a simple single-band compressor effect to all my audio prevents the popping. Only trouble is, any compression effect (apart from Multiband (Legacy)) makes Premiere crash when trying to queue a sequence to Media Encoder (though you can still drag and drop from one app to the other).
I guess all we can do is keep filing bug reports.

PPro CC 2014.2 on OSX 10.9.5 - Crashing

Is anyone else with the latest PPro CC 2014.2 update on OSX 10.9.5 and experiencing a significant amount of crashing? I only updated in hopes it would resolve some of the other issues that were bugging me from the previous release.
Some of the problems include:
- Random video freezes while playing a timeline.
- Random issues with the space bar not playing the timeline, or clicking the Program Monitor's play button. One instance had the video freeze and no way of stopping audio playback.
- Non-responsive Program Monitor, regardless of resolution.
- Issues quitting PPro itself with a long hang and "Application Not Responding" after several minutes that require a Force Quit in order to fully close. This likely is tied into the crashing aspect as I have not had this problem when opening the program, doing a minimal amount of work, and then quitting.
This appears to be GPU related and shows some of the symptoms of a memory leak, similar to how AE CC2014 was responding during audio scrubbing previously. Immediately after restarting, PPro is fine. After several minutes of usage, that's when issues occur.
Having PPro open with AE and/or PS at the same time makes the frequency increase quite a bit, but I cannot 100% replicate the issue every single time. I've forced render timelines so (theoretically) there should be no real taxing effort on the GPU, but even when the entire timeline is "GREEN" the issues are not going away.
Eliminating all effects, filters, etc is not a viable option or solution. I am working on finishing a timeline and that involves using effects. All effects have been updated and are the latest versions available.
These issues happen both after quit and after a hard restart (full shut down and power on). System is a MacPro "Mid-2012" with GTX 680 (official version) running OSX 10.9.5. Have switched the NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA version to the OSX version (via the NVIDIA Driver Manager Preferences) and the same problems persist regardless of the driver choice.
I've been holding off on the 10.10.X update, but at this point may have to give that a shot when I finish this current project.

I have submitted at least 4 crash reports when they have come up and resulted in the prompt to submit them. I do not have hard copies of them accessible currently. I know that two of them resulted in PPro being unable to save the current state of the project and at least the other two were "recoverable" after the prompt that an error was encountered and the project would be saved. A bug report has also been submitted.
This is extremely reminiscent of the AE CC2014 behavior that seemed to "build" to a GPU-related memory leak crash after scrubbing audio. With that memory leak the system started to feel sluggish, performance dwindled, then the software would either crash or lockup - sometimes with a crash prompt, other times completely unrecoverable. That's the same behavior that I'm experiencing with PPro CC 2014.2 currently.
At this time I have not switched the render to software only, though that will be the next step. A few effects/plugins are GPU accelerated and I really don't want to lose performance. I also have not rebuilt the project, exported XMLs and re-imported, or any of the other typical workaround solutions. I am just trying to get a project finished and meet a deadline - those methods more often than not require rebuilding a lot of the finishing parts of a project.

OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:

OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:
The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
Quite annoying. I restored the mini from a recent backup to 10.4.9. Problem gone.
I'm glad I test updates on the mini before applying them to my Intel iMac 24. I guess I'll just hide & watch what happens before doing any more updates.
Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:

Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on the laptop line.
And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".

Libby,
Backup is unable to make a restorable by Disk Utility backup. You can restore pieces of the software as outlined in my FAQ about backing up user data:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
But to be able to restore a backup with Disk Utility, you need a cloning utility to have made the backup.
I suggest starting a new thread here, where someone else could help you out better:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=752&start=0
First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

Experiencing issues with audio scrubbing in Premiere cc 2014

Since upgrading I've been having issues with audio scrubbing in Premiere CC 2014.
Some of the time it won't scrub at all (silence) when I know that scrubbing option is turned on. Other times it will scrub the wrong section of the timeline, I'll hear dialogue from a different point in a clip.
Much of the time I experience this I'm working with multicam clips in sequences.
Working on iMac 2013, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA 780
thank you.

Currently using / testing a 30 day trial of CC 2014 (CS5 user for years with no issues) and all was fine yesterday when editing. Turned on today and had no way to scrub audio. Also had no Intensity Pro external monitor which worked fine the day before. Restarted PC and still nothing so starting poking around with the playback settings in preferences by choosing Adobe Desktop audio in the audio device section choosing OK then selecting back to Blackmagic audio then hit Ok. All of a sudden there was my external monitor and was able to scrub audio again. It's like it's sleeping knowing it should work until you poke it a few times to wake it up. How my Intensity Pro external monitor and scrubbing audio being related in any way is perplexing. Or am I being obtuse?
I would contact Blackmagic Design to make sure your drivers are current. Can you try that?

Fade effect causes audio popping

Hello,
I have had a recent issue with iMovie which is only getting worse. Whenever I use the video effect of either fade in or fade out, there is a popping sound which get written into the audio track.
I have tried various fixes but nothing seems to work. It started out as a few quiet audio pops, but now is completely warping the audio. Any ideas?
Basically I have had to go through the painstaking process of extracting the audio and then fixing it in Garageband. This works, but is tedious and takes about 4 times as long. Since I have quite a few clips to process in this way, I need to fix this issue. I really appreciate any help that others could provide with this.

If anyone else has this problem - you fix it by making sure you pan the audio to the center, not left or right.

10.4.10 Audio Popping Issues: Information Check with Internal Speakers

For people with internal speakers, or those without subwoofers: Please read all the way to the bottom to find a test that will determine whether you are also having audio problems, even if you can't hear pops.
We've had a lot of discussion about audio popping due to 10.4.10, and the evidence indicates that the audio circuitry is going to sleep to conserve power, even on AC-only computers like the iMac, Mac Mini, and (at least one) Mac Pro. Some people claim to not have this problem, but I'm wondering if they just aren't noticing it.
Having external speakers with a subwoofer, set to high amplification, are key to obvious detection of the problem. Let the sound subsystem go idle for 30+ seconds (wait a minute with no audio, just to be safe), turn up your external speakers really loud, and cause the computer to make a sound. You should hear a burst before the sound plays. If you repeat the sound, you won't hear the burst. This is the sound of the audio circuitry powering on, and the speakers are amplifying it.
About 30 seconds after the sound finishes playing, if you leave the volume of your speakers turned way up, you should hear a "pop" as the circuitry is powered off. Then, playing another sound will recreate the burst.
I haven't been able to hear these sounds with internal speakers, either on the Mini or iMac. But the problem still exists, and it is detectable... if you know what you are looking for.
The burst of the audio circuitry turning on also causes a delay in the audio. The delay is a noticeable fraction of a second, an it can easily be detected if you have a repeatable source of sound. I like Terminal.app, because I use that application all day, every day. Here is how you can check to see if you are also subject to the audio problems:
1. Start Terminal.app (in the /Applications/Utilities directory).
2. Wait one minute for the audio circuitry to shut down.
3. Without typing anything else, very quickly strike and release the Backspace key.
4. If you pressed the key all the way, the program should have caused a beep. However, if the audio circuitry goes to sleep, the beep should occur after you have moved your hand off the key. This is because the circuitry takes time to power itself on before playing the sound.
5. Now, quickly strike the Backspace key again. You should notice that the sound is produced immediately as you hit the key, without the delay you just witnessed.
6. Strike the Backspace key repeatedly, to confirm that there is no audio delay. Do this about once every second or two. If you press the key too rapidly, not all of the presses will produce sounds... this behavior is not related to the issue we are testing.
7. Wait another minute for the audio circuitry to shut down, and strike the Backspace key once more. You should again observe a delay between your strike and the sound production.
If you witness delays like this, your audio circuitry is also going to sleep, and you are having the same audio problems as the rest of us. However, either because you are using internal speakers, or because your external speakers don't have the appropriate response, you aren't hearing the same bursts and pops as the rest of us.
Please try this test, and report here. I want to build a list of people who previously couldn't hear the sounds, but still have the delay. This might give us a better picture of the scope of the problem.

Distracting audio popping in T61, and no idea why!

Hey,
My laptop had been giving me trouble, so I recently did a restore to factory settings and started from scratch. Now, everything works pretty much perfectly, except the small audio popping issues I had before seem way, way worse now. I used a DPC latency checker and found out that mine is hovering around 3300 or so, with frequent spikes to 78000 (the popping is extremely noticable then), which from all my research is way too high.
Is there any easy fix for this?

Yea at first I thought maybe after it was on for a While you could see something but it Sounds Like your Display is Shot) I was going to Ask how old it was but i found at the bottom of your post this phone is a Replacement phone Yikes somebody else's trouble that was sent in to Verizon then Sent on to you.
That's why I'm not in Favor of the there Replacement Phones Program) You may get a Phone that will go to the End of your Contract and then again you may get a piece of I can't say with out get Moderated..
Well what i would DW is I would take it to your Local Verizon and see if they can Replace it for ya ) I know it'll be for the same possible Model but they may Step you up a Model.. You Just have to Check with the Store an see Hopefully they'll Warrant it for the Display Good Luck.. b33

Warning "RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames" after scrubbing audio in After Effects CC 2014 (13.0)

The After Effects team are investigating a bug in After Effects CC 2104 (13.0) where a memory leak occurs while scrubbing audio (holding down the CTRL or Command key while scrubbing). This memory leak can eventually consume all free RAM, which can lead to the warning message "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" when you try to initiate a RAM preview.
While we investigate this problem, you can avoid the bug and memory leak by not scrubbing with audio. When the problem occurs you can resolve it by closing and restarting After Effects.

Audio pops/drop-outs with AU bandpass

Even after I render and do a audio mixdown, I occassionally get audio pops or drop-outs (one channel or completely) of audio files to which I've applied the AU bandpass filter. Is there a way to solve this?

Make shure you sample rates and buffer sizes match. Check AMS or Sound in pref.> after application launch, sometimes it will flip automatically. Master then Slave i think > you might need more usb power

Audio Pops in Windows XP

I was wondering if anyone knows why my macbook would be having audio pops in windows xp. It seems like its only when something is loading in windows. If anyone knows a solution please let me know, thank you.

Did you check the audio level at the control panel > sound and audio device?
How you run the XP, parallel or Boot Camp?
Also post this thread on boot camp forum for they might have better answer for you:

Good Luck.

When you sent your Macbook for service, did Apple fix the audio pop issue?

I'm experiencing the intermittent audio "pop" problem in my Santa Rose Macbook running 10.5.1. (There are numerous posts on this topic in this forum and elsewhere.)
I'm wondering if this can remedied by a a trip to the Apple repair shop.
For those who have experienced this problem, and who have sent their Macbooks back for repair -- was Apple able to solve the issue? Or is it unlikely to be remedied hardware, and instead be patched with a firmware fix via software update?

T410 - high DPC latency in ACPI.sys on BIOS update (leads to audio pops and crackles)

I recently updated my Thinkpad T410's BIOS because the fan wasn't working properly. The fan is working fine now, but ever since the BIOS update I've been experiencing severe audio pops and crackles. I used the tool LatencyMon to inspect, and the chief culprit seems to be ACPI.sys, with execution times as long as 10ms.
I've tried disabling all the power management options in the BIOS and changing everything to max performance. I've also tried disabling other various devices such as the network adapters, but nothing seems to help. Any idea?

Hi agrilledfish,
Is your BIOS 3.03?
I found a post on MixVibes regarding audio drops:
Audio drops/USB problems
You can try to disable ACPI.sys in device manager or uninstall and reinstall the software.

FCPX to Compressor 4.1 to WMV (using Flip4Mac) - Audio Popping Noise

This week I exported WMVs from FCPX 10.1.3 via Compressor 4.1.
A strange 'popping noise' appeared in the final exported files that was not present in the original source clips in FCPX.
I ran through every conceivable AV quality setting in the Windows Media Quicktime Export Components to isolate the problem but to no avail.
To humour myself I used a free online WMV conversion tool which produced a WMV that didn't have the audio popping noise.
Eventually I contacted Telestream/Flip4Mac and asked if anyone else had reported the issue.
They said they had started to receive reports of similar problems occuring when exporting to WMV from Compressor.
THE SOLUTION:
Export a ProRes MOV from FCPX via Compressor
Open that MOV in Flip Player and select Export > Format > Windows Media

This is what I see.

Audio popping in flv files from Compressor - Help!

I am getting an occasional digital audio pop in the flv videos i am creating in compressor. The audio is coming from digitized Betacam SP master tapes. The audio levels look good and sound fine monitoring the tape, in FCP, and in Quicktime if i export the clip as a Quicktime clip. But when i play back the encoded flv file i hear the offending "pop". The "pops" don't seem to coincide with a peaking audio or video transition. I am stumped! Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Will

Aaah, I wish I could help! I have exactly the same problem! I was going to post about it, but since there's this workaround, I didn't want to take up bandwidth with a problem that was not a total showstopper.
Indeed. I have stopped doing what I used to do before. Before, I used to select "All" in compressor - the files generated were the video, the aiff, and the ac3. Well after burning a few coasters through DVDSP 4.1 where there was picture but no sound, I realized that I needed to drag the aiff file to compressor again, and use that - at that point everything is fine. So, right now, my workflow is to export just the video from FCP through compressor, let it encode. Then export the aiff separately and encode it to a3 in compressor, then import the video and ac3 to DVDSP for good results. In short, no more exporting "All" from FCP through compressor, it's a waste of time.
But as to why, I have no idea, and I'm eager to hear what folks have to say! Anyhow, just letting you know you are not alone. Btw. my set up is: FCP 4.5 HD, compressor 2.1 and DVDSP 4.1.0... what's yours?

How to remove/minimze audio "pop" or "click"

Using FCP 4.5
I have an audio pop/click within a clip and have been unable to figure a way to remove it or at least minimize it. I can see it in the viewer when the wave form is displayed Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Ron

Randy,
Thank you for the suggested approaches...since it is a split second pop...and dialogue is not an issue, I think I will go with cutting and pasting. I have Soundsoap...but haven't used it much...but I may experiment once I finish this project.
I was hoping there was some kind of (simple) audio filter in FCP that would limit the pop...but apparently there isn't, at least not one that I could find.
Anyway, thanks again for your help...I'm off to cut, copy and paste.
