Audio problems watching netflix streaming videos

The audio is terrible, can hardly hear the actors. If dvd played, the sound is good. This happens every time a streaming video is played. Will external speakers help, and if so, what kind?
Thanks.
Imac; 10.6.8 2.66GH 4g memory is max.

Not all apps are enabled for airplay, this is up to the developer to do.

Netflix streaming video freezes but audio is ok...

When I'm watching Netflix streaming videos, Firefox video freezes. Audio is fine and I can continue hearing the video. Firefox is the only browser that does this. IE9 and Google Chrome plays without the video freezing. I love Firefox and would like to continue using it. I get tired of having to change browsers just to be able to watch streaming video. Thanks!!!

Cannot watch live streaming video

I am trying to use Quick Time to watch live streaming video. However, when I click on the link, I get the following sequence:
"Negotiating"
"Waiting for media"...with a countdown
"Switching transports"...this goes on for a long time
"Disconnected"
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quick Time and the problem persists. Any suggestions for this techno-laggard? Thanks!

Here is the link: http://dev.centralsynagogue.org/index.php/worship/multimedia/streaming/
However, the streaming only happens at 6 p.m. on Friday evenings and 10:30 a.m. on Saturday mornings.
Some additional information:
Although I initially get a "Connecting" message (at the appointed hour), it then changes to "Switching Transport" and then to "Disconnected." Alternately, if I try to copy the URL from the website into the Quick Time "Open URL" option on the File menu, I get an error message that says, Error 47, Invalid URL.
Very frustrating...any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Trying to watch a Streaming video, picture and voice shaking and stops on it's own.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Intermittant audio static/distortion when streaming video

New member seeking solution to an annoying problem. When
streaming video sites such as Youtube, MSN videos, and other video
sites, the audio has intermittent static, much like a radio station
that isn't fully tuned in. I have a laptop with an external sound
card, and it does it through it hooked to a small stereo system, as
well as the laptop's built-in soundcard and speakers. I have
updated the Flash player, and tried completely uninstalling and
reinstalling the sound drivers. Next thing, I am going to totally
uninstall Adobe Flash and try reinstalling it to see if it takes
care of the problem. By the way, it does it with both Internet
Exploder and Firefox. Any suggestions are welcome.
Sincerely,
John

The same thinks happens to me,
Thank you.

Problems watching Adobe tutorial videos

I want to watch the Adobe video tutorials, but I find that the Adobe videos tutorials stutter and pause to such an extent that it is painful and impossible to watch. I don't have this problem with watching other videos on my machine. (From Lynda.com, for example.) It only occurs with Adobe videos. Is there some setting that needs to be changed? Can you help me?

Hi Dave,
By the way.... In going to the video, in order to give you the link, I
discovered that the videos are playing better now. I don't know whether,
because I tried to watch them before, some of the files are downloaded onto my
hard drive already, or whether the tutorials have been done in a different
way, since the last time I tried. Before I would have rated them on a
"painful to watch" scale of 1-10 as a 9 to 12. I currently rate them as a 3 or
a 4. (Watchable.) In fact, I watched the entire tutorial, and found it
very helpful. (Though I still think that maybe more tweaking of the
encoding might make things even easier. I don't seem to have this problem with
watching the videos from Lynda.com.
Thanks for answering my post!! If you have some suggestions on anything I
can do to my own settings to make these videos play better, please let me
know.
Rebecca

Logic audio engine crashes while streaming video and recording 4 channels simultaneous audio

logic audio engine crashes while streaming video and recording 4 channels simultaneous audio

Hi there,
I also wanted to thank you for your response and let you know that I have tried all those trouble shooting things you suggest to no avail.
it seems to me that the first explanations are most likely to be the case.
namely that the program can multithread while the plugs only use one processor (particularly EXS24) which is bloody useless.
also increasing the buffer to 1024 is not an option cause you gotta bloody lay tracks, which means you gotta hear the BG tracks and play yours on top in time otherwise, you record your new tracks and they are so out of time that it sounds like a little kid wanking on a guitar or whatever...
and of course for composition with midi intruments it doesn't work at all cause your latency becomes so huge that you would need a miracle to quantize your off time notes back to normal so that you can arrange, print score, etc.
either way, I hope that my tone is not disrespectful, it is aimed at apple in frustration, I'm grateful for your help.
thank you
David

How to Fix Intermittent Optical Audio Problems using Netflix?

I recently purchased the latest Apple TV and all software is up-to-date. But I have started having intermittent audio problems only when using the Netflix app on the ATV device. I am connected to my TV with HDMI, and running the optical audio out from my ATV to a soundbar. On some, but not all movies, right when it starts streaming there is a loud "CRACK" and then the video continues streaming, but the audio is totally silent.
The issue is definitely with the Apple TV device and only occurs when using the optical audio out from the Apple TV and only when using Apple's Netflix app.
If I remove the optical audio connection and just use the audio on my TV coming from the HDMI, it's fine. I can also hear audio just fine using the Netflix app on my iPod Touch or just streaming in Safari on my MacBook Pro. It's only when using the ATV Netflix app, and it's not with all movies, only some.
But when a movie has the problem, it always has the problem no matter what day/time I try to stream it.
Very irritating.
Does anyone know a fix?
Thanks.
Kurt

Same problem here. Since the last update, my Netflix streaming has been awful. Not only does the audio cut off but sometimes the video will cut off and I can only hear the audio. Then whatever I'm watching will constantly bump me off and sometimes I won't be able to get back in unless I restart ATV.
This is only ATV as Netflix streams on my MBP, imac and iphone w/ no problem....
Wish there was some way we could revert to a previous version of the software. If so, I want to revert back to the version before the last update as everything worked great...

Problem with live streaming video after system updates

Dear all,
I hope you can assist me on this.
Yesterday, I downloaded the following automatic updates: iLife Support 9.0.4, Remote Desktop Client update 3.4, Mac OS X Update Combined 10.6.7, Airport Utility 5.5.2.
After that, I could NO MORE watch live streaming channels. To be precise, l can properly hear the sound, but not see the video.
I wish to underline the fact that before installing the automatic updates listed above, I had a clear sound and video of all live streaming sites.
I downloaded the latest versions of JAVA and Flash, but unfortunately they didn't solve the problem.
Therefore, I am quite sure the live streaming disfunction has to do with the system automatic updates. Is there any way to uninstall yesterday's updates without compromising the various softwares and OS performance?
What else could be if not related to the system updates?
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance.

Stan,
I hadn't heard of gspot before. I downloaded it and it looks like a nice, handy tool. Thanks.
After running it, I didn't see anything that caught my eye as unusual (corrupt file, unknown codec, etc.) I have posted a screenshot at the following URL if you care to look.
www.cbvideo.com/gspot/gspot-out.jpg
Now, let me add to the mystery. I was just able to burn it without incident with Encore 1.5 and the same chapter mark locations. There are only two things I can think of that would be possible causes. 1) something quirky about CS3, even though I've not had any prior problems in two years with it for my business OR 2) the file had become corrupted when moving from the capture computer (the older computer with 1.5) to the newer computer (with CS3). As the file seems to be okay on the 2nd computer (plays fine in WMP and imports into both Premiere and Encore), I'm leaning toward #1.
I have been able to successfully work around the problem to finish this job for the client, but I'd still like to know what's going on for future reference. If anyone has other ideas, please let me know.

Problems watching Netflix in Yosemite's Safari

Why can't I watch Netflix movies with Yosemite's Safari?, it says my computer can't playback premium video. I have just updated my os from Mavericks where I had no problems with it.

I already solved it: Enter Netflix and go to your account, then to your profile, then to Playback settings and there, uncheck the bottom option (prefer HTML5 instead of Silverlight), you should be able to play movies again... obviously, you have to have Silverlight in your computer.
The thing I don't like about this is that Apple says HTML5 is better in order to help save battery life... I will have to wait till Apple solves this issue so we can benefit of this.
Hope this helps.

No audio when watching Netflix

The audio is hooked up via hdmi and works perfectly for everything else, it even plays sound effects when browsing Netflix. But when I select something to watch it plays video with no audio. And I tried like 4 different things all with no audio. Then I fired up Netflix via my DVD player and one of the videos I tried worked just fine.
How can I get the audio working on the apple tv?

Try setting Dolby digital to off.

Synching audio problem with MPEG-4 video in QuickTime

Hello,
I’m having a problem with MPEG-4 video file I created with TechSmith Camtasia (6.0.1).
Problem: The audio does not sync up with the video when played with Apple QuickTime 7.6 (latest build) in Windows Vista. The longer the video plays the more out of sync the audio is. Here's where it gets interesting:
When I play the file using Adobe Media Player or Adobe Flash Player (plug-in in Internet Explorer), the video and audio sync up and all is good.
Is there a problem with how Quicktime decompresses this type of file?
Does anyone have any idea what is happening?
Thanks,
Leo

If I remember well, N70 plays mp4 video without problems. Try resizing during encoding to 176 x 144 and reducing frame rate to 15 frames per second. Also try to keep data rate below 200 kb/s. If you are using MediaCoder do not go with default settings for Nokia N70, they are too optimistic.

TS3623 Tried to watch a streamed video on AppleTV. I have sound, but where is the picture?

New to appleTV and not very tech savvy. Can't figure out where the picture is! Help.

This is a user to user discussion forum, not an Apple support line.
Users reply in their own time to try to help, and will be less likely to do so if you post sarcastic comments.
Your post requires more infromation - 'streamed video' from where?
Seleced and played from one of the options on AppleTV itself?
Using 'Airplay' from an iPhone/iPad or similar and which app? If this is the issue, then check reviews on the app in iTunes Store and check the developer's site - many companies prevent video from being Airplayed for mysterious, possibly licensing related, reasons.
Good luck.

Audio problem when importing analogue video

Hi
I use a Miglia Directors Cut box to import analogue video (VHS tapes) into imovie.
I've always had a problem of a mechanical sounding background noise totally obscuring the sound. In previous versions of iMovie extracting audio always solved the problem. Now I have upgraded and am using iMovie HD, extracting audio doesn't solve the problem.
Any ideas????
Thanks

I've always had a problem of a mechanical sounding background noise totally obscuring the sound
That does kinda suggest that the Miglia is not the ideal tool for the job!
Have you asked Miglia about the problem?

Problems watching strobe media videos on android handset

I use strobe media playback to play videos on a website I run. Usually members have no problems, but one user said he couldn't watch the videos on his htc mobile - just gets the black screen. I checked on a friends htc mobile and was getting the same problem. Can simply just see a black box where video should be, nothing else.
Would anyone know how this can be resolved, so that strobemedia playback videos can be viewed on android mobile? Or what the problem might be?
Thanks

Hi,
can you share a link to a video asset for debugging purposes?
