Audio Problems Since Lineup Change

I have Verizon FiOS in Baltimore County MD. Since the lineup change on Oct 1 I've noticed some bizarre audio issues and was curious if others had experienced anything similar. For example I sat down to watch a movie on the new channel for Starz HD and there was no audio at all. Great HD picture though. I switched over to the regular, non-HD Starz channel and the audio was dubbed in Spanish. Quite a few other channels, both HD and digital, have shown similar audio problems. Anyone have any thoughts on this or experiencing similar issues? Thanks for any input.

I'm from Baltimore County as well (Randallstown) and I'm noticing the same thing. If I allow the channel to stay for a while, the picture will black out and I get a 'currently unavailabel' message on my screen. It's beginning to happen to a lot of channels. At first I thought it was just 680 Scr-fi, but now I'm discovering it's happening to just about ALL of the HD channels as well as a good number of SD channels. It's even happening to CNN. Now if I go up one and down one a couple times, sometimes it corrects itself and locks in the sound and picture. But if I change channels, I risk not being able to come back with everything in tact. What receiver are you using? I'm using the QIP 7216 multi-media HD DVR.

Any Bluetooth audio problems since upgrading to ICS?

Hi.
Was wondering if anyone has had any Bluetooth audio problems since upgrading to ICS? In particular, have you had any stuttering and/or pauses in streaming since the upgrade?
I use a MW600 with my phone and I get stuttering and pauses every few minutes between the phone and the MW600 which is very annoying - to the point where I can't reliably use the phone for audio any more.
Thanks
Savcom

Sorry but it seems to be a problem some users are experiencing. It's already been reported so hopefully there will be a fix for this soon.

Problems since being changed to ADSL2

I was changed over by BT to ADSL2 and my speed increased but I started getting regular disconnections.
Having reported this to BT over a month ago I still have no resolution to this issue.
Even had to take day off for Openreach engineer to visit who came and went stating he thought there was something at the xchange he needed to deal with and heard nothing since.
At the moment it seems to stay connected for longer with less disconnections where the BB light flashes orange but seems to hang repeatedly every few minutes at times where it says connected but I am unable to use the connection for anything.

As you will see in another strand I have had the same problem since 31 October. 4 engineers have visited, another is promised but not until the weather improves. Everyone says it is some equipment in the exchange but can I get anyone to go and fix it... Even emailing the Chief Exec and getting replies apparently from him has not brought any action.

Audio Problem since upgrading to Mountain Lion

Has anyone encountered audio problems with their iMac? I just upgraded to Mountain Lion on my i7 27" with 16GB of Ram and found that the Audio starts to get distorted and eventually cuts out after about an hour! It starts cutting in and out when I move the mouse and eventually there will be no sound at all!
Sometimes it can take over an hour of steady use, my last time was watching a movie on Netflix. I initially noticed this using a USB DAC Headphone Amp.
I never had any Audio problems before, my machine is over 1 year old.
I enjoy watching movies in iTunes and DVDs, but this is making it difficult! A full restart usually fixes the problem for a time but it will eventually come back
I'm seriously thinking of going back to Lion for the time being and seeing if it is a Hardware problem.

i don't know if mine is the same issue, but i had no sound through any of my applications after upgrading to mountain lion. here is what i had to do to fix it:
-- applications > utilities > audio midi setup > UNmute all options under "built-in output" (they were mysteriously muted)
Also, I noticed that the options for "use this device for sound output" and "play alerts & sound effects through this device" were no longer assigned to my Built-in Output device. They were assigned to some other random sound driver. To fix, i right-clicked on Built-in Output and reassigned those items to my built in speakers. All fixed now!
very weird problem, though.

Is there a known syncing by audio problem since the last CC update?

On 2 of my machines (Windows 7 and Windows 8.1) Premiere has stopped syncing audio properly. Having used this feature since it was released with 100% success rate (up until the latest update) and no change to the workflow/equipment, Premiere now seems to not even attempt to sync audio clips, and will toss one of the clips down the timeline, in such a way that the clips aren't even close to each other. Below is an example of how syncing is reacting on both machines.

I have this exact same problem. I used the sync feature since it was first released and it worked close to 100% of the time. Then when I tried to use it again for my most recent project, it's like it wasn't even trying anymore. I had to basically sync everything manually. Some of the clips, like yours, were completely transported to random places in the sequence. I have no idea what it could be, but I hope this issue is resolved soon.

Audio problems since installing router

Just installed a WRT300N and anytime I'm connected to the internet and attempt to play any kind of audio (MP3s, games, videos, etc.) I get a some choppiness every minute or so. It's like it stutters. I disconnected from the wireless network and the audio is fine.
Anyone else have this problem, or possible solutions. Called up customer service and they told me that I need to buy Wireless Media Bridge. After telling them that I wasn't trying to install any programs, but rather listen to music on Windows Media Player, they told me again, that I need to buy WMB.

HI...
As the audio is chopping try making the following changes on your router.
On the computer connected to the router open Internet Explorer. In the address bar type http://192.168.1.1 (Default IP).
Leave the username field blank and in the password type "admin" (If you have not changed the router password).
When the configuration page is fully loaded, click on the tab that says Wireless.Set the mode as mixed, change the wireless network name SSID, also set the channel to 11. Save setting.
When the wireless page is fully displayed, clickon the sub-tab that says wireless security.select the security mode as WPA2 Personal and Encryption as AES. Enter a security key. Save settings
Click on the sub tab that says advanced wireless settings.
Set the value of Beacon interval = 50, Fragmentation Threshold = 2306 and RTS Threshold= 2307. Save settings.
Connect from the wireless computers to the new wireless network connected, enter the correct security key and you should get connected.
Make sure that all the firewalls on the wireless computers are disabled.

Audio problems since recent update to 10.9 Os Mavericks

Weird Audio problem since installing new SSD and Reinstalling the OS and Upgrading Ram

I have a really strange problem in Premiere ( well the same thing happens with he native files outside premiere too! )
Some of my .wav and .wma files sound corrupt. At first i thought it was a buggy project file.
Then i checked some other files from projects waiting to be done and they were the same, heart attack time.
So i copied the apparent bad file to my laptop and it plays fine!
Then when i check some audio files from finished projects on my PC they sound corrupt too! And obviously they were fine when i actually finished the projects.
I've tried it in Premiere CC2014 and CS5, but it's not the program i now know.
I Googled "Audio codecs Windows7" but all the options appear to be malware , has anyone any ideas? IS there a codec pack i could try?
I'm running Win 7 Pro

Thanks,

Got this sorted.

Yes you solved your own question, use printer handles color, whcih shodul have been the default. If you do want to experiment with Photohsop manages color, try the CMYK profiles, and send a cmyk file. Only exception is if you print to one of the few RGB printers like a lambda.

MSI VOX Audio / Video Sinc problem

Hi All.
Last week i bought a VOX TV Tuner. Nice device works well except for what i want it for.
When I try to cpature at Full PAL DVD resolution I get audio / video sinc problems. The audio is usually ahead of the video. Half PAL DVD or below it's fine.
I suspect it is the basic design of the box that is the trouble. Having the audio feed to the sound card rather than than in the USB2 feed has been a no no ever since the problem was discovered back in the USB 1 days. USB2 is capable of 400Megbits..
However I contacted another user who has no problems and says there is a patch for Direct x PAL video capture. Does any one know of this patch or has any one had the same problem as I have??
This device seems so new that there is no info on the net about it..
TIA.
System : P4. 2.4 Gig, 512 Meg ram, fast HDs, Direct X 9.0 (have not installed 9.0b yet) Asus Mobo P4Pe. Matrox Mystique video card. Win 2K SP4

I would chase that up as it sounds promising.

PROBLEMS SINCE THE DISCUSSIONS FORUM CHANGED

Since Apple changed the Discussions section, I've had problems. This used to be the best system of all of the groups I used. Now, it's hard to find what I'm looking for. The boolean operators don't function properly. When I searched "fonts AND book", I got results including "and" being highlighted, got results without both words that were supposed to be there, and still don't know if the problem with iPhoto fonts when making books is here. I'll keep looking...

Complaint regarding the Audio problem in handset

Dear Sir / Madam
I am having BlackBerry 8520 Curve and purchased it on May'10. After buying this BB handset I am facing the problem in audio and not able to listen the voice clearly. I had submitted my handset for 4th time at Redington India Limited Ahmedabad for the same issue, but the problem is yet not rectified.
I have submitted my handset again at Redington on 26th July 2012 and they have given me the estimate of Rs. 4200 to change the housing of the handset. Before that I have given my handset at Redington for the same audio problem on 14th Mar 2012, 16th Jan 2011 & also give while the handset was in warranty period, but the problem is still same.
Now my question is that, I have give mobile 4 times for same issue and still I am facing same problem than why should I pay for housing, as it is manufacturing fault of handset. Still my mobile is at Redington and I want the permanent resolution for the audio problem, and if you are not able to solve the problem than please keep the handset with you, as I don't want the defective handset.
I have purchased the Blackberry as it is the brand name and for the service but I am really disappointed by such kind of worst service.
Name: Nilesh
Contact No: ***
Work Order No: ***
Case ID: ***
Model: Blackberry Curve 8520
IMEI No: ***
Pin No: ***
Given at Redington on: 26th Jul 2012.
Please find the above details of handset and contact no, and I expect the positive response from your side. If the problem will not get rectified I will have to go for the legal action against the Blackberry and will also mention this issue on Facebook so another people also come to know about the services of Blackberry.
With Regards
Nilesh

So, your escalation path is not here, in these forums. Rather, it is through the places you already are working with...even if they may have a poor reputation. You have no free path by which to bypass them.
There is something called incident support, but it costs to just ask the initial question, since you are bypassing the contract you signed upon purchase. If you wish to investigate that, you can review it here:

HBO GO - new audio problems...

I have used and loved HBO Go, first on Roku, now even more on Apple TV.
Two things happened in the past few weeks. First I THINK I selected subtitles for one show "Jaime", or they suddenly appeared. i don't really see where settings are in HBO that mention anything about sound or audio. I do for AppleTV as a whole.
These problems are ALL on HBO Go only (on Apple TV only) and only certain shows (Treme, J'aime) series that I was watching fine before.
It seems to have changed the mix so that I can only hear the ambient sound and no dialogue. Sound effects, phones ringing. I have surround sound and its only the front speakers. However on films for example, no problem at all.
I notice that my receiver indicates some change in the audio settings. For a week I was convinced it was my receiver (Onkyo) but it is only happening on HBO GO on Apple TV and here again, only certain series that were playing fine before.
SO confused. I have no more subtitles anymore, and I only mention that because its the only other thing that has changed since this started.
Finally, I reset my AppleTV back to system setting, which meant re-enterring all the username password info again, and absolutely nothing changed.
I use HBO GO on computer and iphone and no audio problems at all.
SO HBO GO seems to have changed its own audio settings for certain programs only. Netflix, Hulu, all play fine, only, as far as I can tell, some series on HBO. Apple TV doesn't seem to be malfunctioning in any other way.
Any help of references much appreciated

Hi ,
I am sorry about the issues you are having with your HBOGo, but I will be glad to help. I will be sending a private message to gather more information.

Getting Around MPEG Streamclip "No Audio" Problem

(Long post; apologies in advance.)
I needed to get around the MPEG Streamclip "no audio" problem that other people here have had. I just found a workaround that more-or-less works for my specific situation ... and it's free to boot.
Since other people are having this problem, I thought I'd let you know what happened to me, so you can decide if this is something you want to try. If you do, I suggest posting replies here so we all can learn (if that's okay with the board moderators here).
QTAmateur for MacOS X is available at http://www.mikeash.com/software/qtamateur/ . The developer has a somewhat full explanation of what it does at the site, so I won't repeat it here (and I don't get anything for talking about it here; I just want to share the good news).
Right now I'm field recording with a Flip Mino camera (non-HD), which saves video/audio to an AVI file (3ivx MPEG-4, 640x480) at 30 fps, with 44.1 kHz audio (Microsoft ADPCM). Funny thing is the files from my Flip actually imported into FCE without any conversion, but I had to render everything. And the video looked like crap. Hated the rendering and the look, so I searched for other solutions.
After paying for a couple of things that didn't work (lessons learned there), I finally found MPEG Streamclip. Since I'm using Snow Leopard, I sunk the additional $20 into the dang MPEG-2 playback component after my initial export try didn't produce any audio. After the component install, I still didn't have audio. Grrrrr.
So I Googled a bunch of keywords, and I somehow stumbled across this QTA package. Snow Leopard users should note a minor drawback here: QTA needs QuickTime 7, which gets blown away in a Snow Leopard upgrade and is not included in new Macs with Snow Leopard. Users can get off of their Install DVD, though, so it's not a huge deal.
When exporting from QTA, I matched its settings (audio and video) with the ones I found in this document: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12274888&#12274888 . QTA's export interface is actually QT7s, so at least that's familiar.
The only problem I'm having is that even though I set QTA to export at 29.97 fps, the exported files are still at 30 fps. A quick change in FCE upon import is the only thing I needed to use the file without rendering. I also had to change the fps setting on my LiveType files.
The only thing I need to figure out is to how to match up some studio-recorded audio with all of the above, so I don't have to render the studio audio and so it comes out at the equivalent of 30 fps. I think all I need to do is record at 44.1 KHz and I'm okay.
Of course, this is all my experience, and I realize others may not be able to work with this kind of setup. But I think this is an interesting workaround .. I wouldn't really call it a full solution, though, mainly because of the 29.97 fps versus 30 fps aspect.
One other quick thing: I'm not sure if this works without that $20 MPEG-2 playback component from Apple (thanks for that charge, Apple!), since I already had the component installed when I discovered QTA. Someone without the component, though, can download this and see if it works. If it does, then we all know that we don't need to spend the extra $20 for it to work.
If you decide to take the plunge, please let us know here. Thanks for reading.

@Tom and @Meg:
Thanks so much for your replies (speedy, too!). I especially want to thank Meg, who took the time to replicate the problem (which confirms to myself that I'm not nuts ). At least I know I have an ultimate "savior" in QT7 Pro.
Before I spend that final $30, though, I want to see if Tom can help, based on what the QT Inspector says about my .avi files from the Flip. Here's what it says:
VID00001.AVI
Format: Generic MPEG-4, 640 x 480, Millions
Microsoft ADPCM, Mono, 44.100 kHz
FPS: 30
Data Rate: 3408.53 kbits/s
Normal Size: 640 x 480 pixels
Current Size: 640 x 480 pixels (Actual)
(that's word for word, except for the source [file location]; wish I could figure out how to paste in the window from my Grab of it.)
I've already done the exports in the same way Meg indicated in her reply, trying all kinds of combinations. When exporting, though, I've always used DV/DVCPRO w/audio @ uncompressed 48k, and frame size @ 720x480 @ 29.97fps settings (saw those in another post here at the forum). I'm thinking those aren't contributing to my situation.
Whaddya think, Tom?
BTW, the biggest reason why I want to have the audio is to easily sync the audio off the digital recorder (I hook myself up with a lav mic) to the audio coming off of the Flip. I do the ol' "triple clap" trick to sync audio, so that helps -- thank goodness for audio waveforms in FCE.
Once synced, I then delete the Flip audio and move the digital recorder audio up to A1/A2 (although I delete the A2 audio channel). Sounds 1000% better than the Flip audio, as I record outside and the Flip mic picks up wind big-time.
BTW, Tom: I bought your book earlier this week. It's really, really good. You could teach an entire college semester class off of this book, and do it well. I'm getting to more of the lessons this week.

Premier Elements 8 Audio Problem

I just got a new Dell laptop last week that came with the Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 and Premier Elements 8 bundle pre-installed.   I’ve never worked with Premier Elements before and thought I’d try my luck with it yesterday. I edited several movie clips that were taken with my Sony camera in MP4 format, joined the clips into one movie with transitions between them, and rendered the finished product in .mpg format.
The video plays fine in all programs, but the audio is a different story. It is silent in Windows Media Player and Real Player, yet plays well in Windows Media Center and Windows Movie Maker. It also plays on my Dell PC in Windows Media Player (the same program that silences it on my Dell laptop).
I'm a senior citizen and have worked a little bit with Windows Movie Maker but that is all - nothing more intricate than that program. I’d like to burn my new movie file to DVD but would first like to know what is causing the audio problem. I'm hoping it's something simple and that this aged brain can understand the "fix". Any suggestions?
Thank you for any help you can offer me.
Anne

Hello Hunt, and thank you for helping me.
Yes, you have described the problem correctly. In PrElements, all was
well with video and audio - and still is OK in two of the video players I have
on this new laptop.   However, there is no audio in the other two programs
- but only on this Dell laptop in Windows Media Player. There IS audio in
Windows Media Player on my Dell PC. That's what really confuses me.
Yes, the original file from the camera was mp4 and was exported as mpg
(MPEG). I don't remember the settings I used; I think the only thing I
changed was a quality setting. Is there a way of going back and looking at the
original settings to jot down what they were?
I think that the free version of Real Player has improved over the years
and has a few more "goodies" now than it did in previous editions.   For one,
I was able to capture an internet video in its entirety last year, and
very easily. I wanted this video (a show trailer) for a slideshow I was
creating and couldn't figure out how to get it with any other application.
That's the main reason I installed Real Player last week on this new laptop -
"just in case" I want to do this again.
I will take your advice and look into the two free players...
And, in response to your second post, WMM has given me a good start but,
unless I'm missing something, it does not have the capability of burning a
DVD. I will check out the resources link and the Training Series that you
describe, and thank you so much for your help!
Cordially,
Anne

Anne,
Welcome to the forum.
Just to make sure that I am following you, I will restate what I think you
are experiencing, and then please correct me. Along the way will be a few
questions too.
You have created a Project in PrElements, and have Imported Video (with
Audio) into the PrE Project. The files from your Sony are in MP4 format.
In PrE you have your Audio, correct?
You have then Exported/Shared that Project to an AV file as an MPEG. Do
you recall the settings chosen for that MPEG?
That Exported/Shared file plays with Audio in some players, but in others
it only plays the Video, but not the Audio. Is that correct?
Knowing the settings used to create that MPEG file might explain why some
player software does a good job, where other players have an issue.
This is an aside comment - I find that WMP, especially the later versions,
is not a good choice for a player. It seems that MicroSooft has done as
much as possible to strip it of most capabilities. Instead, I recommend two
free players,
http://gofree.com/download/Video/Media-Players/vlcmediaplayer.php?gclid=CLW6soS44KkCFQoBbA odO3L2Xg and
http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/. Both are excellent, and will play files, that some other players struggle
with. Again, both are free. Because all players are not created equal, I
just go with what works. If you were distributing these files to a client,
that was locked into WMP, especially the newer versions, then addressing the
issue would be worth the detective work. If that was the case, then I
would explore Exporting/Sharing to WMV format, rather than the MPEG.
I have not used RealPlayer in about a decade. I found it to be nearly
useless then, and rather ill-behaved. I will not let it near my computers,
though it has possibly been improved over the years. If you have any RealMedia,
MediaPlayer Classic HC, can be modified with a free plug-in, to allow
that. If you do not have RealMedia files (usually designated by .RM), then I
would not worry about taht. Only install what you need, when you need it. I
would just ignore RealPlayer, since it is installed.
Good luck, and hope that this was helpful. Let us know a bit more about
the MPEG settings, please.
Hunt
