Audio problems when using F4 & F5.  Lagging & clicking noises??

I'm experiencing some sloppy performance and weird noises when I turn up or turn down my volume on my PB using the F4 & F5 shortcut keys.
It usually takes a couple of seconds for the volume / speaker icon to come up on the screen and for the usual plop noise to sound after I have actually hit the keys. If I try and turn up or turn down the volume a few notches in one go, it often makes the problem worse and there is this awful pulsing and clicking sound while it stalls before the usual plop sounds.
Any ideas?? It hasn't always done this. I'm assuming it's a problem in the system folder or related to software and hopefully not a hardware problem.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dougie.

I guess the next thing to try would be to borrow another monitor and see if there is a dependancy on the monitor being used. Worst case you will have to dump the Acer for another, different display.
One other point just as something to check; are all devices plugged into a common AC power outlet? I have heard of instances where some items are plugged into one wall outlet and then other items use an outlet from a different part of the room. But behind the walls the circuits themselves can be very separate, and one may even be miswired, which can cause currents to be present on grounds running between devices in use. It may not apply here, but it's something to always be on the lookout for.

  • Lightroom 5 - audio problems when using external output

    I have installed Lightroom 5 on my Mac.  I have linked my Mac to external output (so that it I can hear it through my hi fi).  When I use any of my other programmes - eg iTunes - the sound goes through the external output.  However, when I try to add audio on slide shows in Lightroom, there is silence, unless I disconnect the external output.  Presumably, I need to make an adjustment somewhere so that the sound is sourced through the external output when I use Lightroom.  Does anyone have any ideas as to this issue can be fixed, please?

    I solved my own issue.  I saw an article @ http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?19694-Spot-removal-tool-doesn-t-work-with-Wa com-Intuos-5-in-LR-5 that solved my issue.
    Step 1:
    Walcom Tablet Properties
    Step 2:
    Click on Customize and change the default line graph from this:
    Step 3:
    To this
    Step 4:
    Click OK.
    After that, my spot edit tool stopped freezing in LR 5.2 while i was using my intuos 5 pen.
    Prior to doing this, I also did the procedure listed here:  http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8036
    So it's possible that both need to be done in order for the freezing to stop.  I hope this can help others.

  • My apple Tv has audio problems when streaming from my NAS server.

    My Apple TV has audio problems when streaming from my NAS server or computer and even internet. I can hear the click sound it makes when you click on the icons, but when the movie starts there is no audio. This even happens when using XBMC. I have HMDI directly to my TV suing Apple TV 2. I have tried resetting, turning off both TV and Apple TV, and changing the HDMI cable. It is driving me nuts.

  • TS2570 doesn't work, still the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software.

    i tried everything in this article, but still have the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software. I am converting my iWeb site  to Rapidweaver, whenever there is a calmer period in my office. I have 16 Gb RAM on my NEW iMac and have Parallels desktop, mail, safari, iWeb and Rapidweaver running simultanious.
    I never have the problem if i don't use Rapidweaver, but after i have added several pages to Rapidweaver, the problem begins. my iMac won't start up. the only thing that works is re-installing Macos OS X 10.8. i tried even whiping the completeharddrive, and reinstalling with a complete new user, the same problem.
    I had it on my previous iMac also, and bought a new one because i thought the problem was in the iMac first. i hadn't noticed it only happens with using rapidweaver.
    i sent my complete rapidweaver project to the programmers from rapidweaver at Realmacsoftware, but they couldnt reproduce my problem, there macs started up without any problem.
    i deleted all the rapidweaver addons and extra stacks, and started a complete new project.
    saterday i had the problem again, after adding about 5 new pages to my rapidweaver site.
    i think i have reinstalled Macos OS X 10.8.2 20 or 30 times by now

    Type '''about:support''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
    Scroll down almost to the bottom of that listing and see if you have '''user.js Preferences''' just above the '''''Graphics''''' category.
    If you do have that, click on '''user.js file''' in this sentence. <br />
    ''Your profile folder contains a user.js file, which includes preferences that were not created by Firefox.''
    Does that "different homepage" appear in that user.js file?

  • Performance problem when using CAPS LOCK piano input

    Dear reader,
    I'm very new to Logic and am running into a performance problem when using the CAPS LOCK-piano-keyboard for input of an instrument: when I'm not recording everything is fine and the program instantly responds on my keystrokes, but as soon as I go into record-mode there is sometimes a delay in the response-time (so I press a key and it takes up to half a second longer before the note is actually played).
    Is there anything to do about this to improve performance (for example turning of certain features of the application), or should I never use the CAPS LOCK keyboard anyway and go straight for an external MIDI-keyboard?
    Thanks and regards,
    Tim Metz

    Does your project have Audio tracks and just how heavy it is, how many tracks? Also, what kind of Software Instrument do you use?

    Hi Rodney
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    This sounds like one of those "oddities", contributed to by a few sources.
    I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
    Wondering if you disabled the Safari Cache would the refresh function work correctly? As a test you can disable the Safari Cache by Emptying the Cache first via the Safari menu, then Quit Safari. Now go to the Finder>Your User Library>Caches>Safari. Single click on the Safari folder, then Apple Key + I to open Info panel. There, check the "locked" box. This prevents further additions to the cache. The downside, you lose your ability to upload images etc. within Safari (my cache is disabled, so I use Firefox for the uploads).
    Then restart Safari. Try the PDF from within Safari.

  • I encountered a problem when using Flash Player V9.0.115, can somebody help me?

    Hello all, can somebody help me?
    I have encountered a problem when using Flash Player
    V9.0.115. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
    The problem described as follows:
    1. The flash file with sound works well before uploaded to
    website. The audio lost when uploaded to the website(There is no
    problem with the flash file size). I have uploaded the flash file
    to website for you to test. Please go to
    http://www.sameshow.com/democreator/create
    a new site.swf and kindly check with it.
    2. When we open the flash movie in IE with Flash player
    V9.0.47 and previous versions (Flash9d.ocx), the flash movie with
    sound works well.
    3. When we upgrade the flash player to the latest version
    V9.0.115 (Flash9e.ocx), the video works well, but the sound just
    can play several seconds and then stop.
    4. On Flash Player ocx V9.0.115. If we publish the flash
    movie on web with 24fps, the sound just can work several seconds
    and then stop, the problem is the same if we use the
    TShockWaveFlash control to play the flash movie.
    5. On Flash Player ocx V9.0.115. If we publish the flash
    movie with 12fps, the sound works well but the quality is really
    very poor. It seems that the sound plays shorter with more frames
    per second. But the flash file works well with the Flash Player
    V9.0.47 and previous versions (Flash9d.ocx).
    Can somebody help me to figure it out? Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Sabrina
    [email protected]

    Hello Darren, I really appreciate your response. My mail is
    [email protected] I have uploaded the flash file to our
    ftp,
    http://www.sameshow.com/democreator/create
    a new site.swf. And also I compressed the original file to a
    zip file and uploaded to our ftp at
    http://download.sameshow.com/aff/create.zip,
    please kindly check! When we playing this flash file on FlashPlayer
    V9.0.47 and previous, the audio works well. But the audio just can
    play several seconds and then stop when I playing it on FlashPlayer
    V9.0.115. The garbled audio makes us very upset. Your help would be
    great appreciated!

  • Audio problem when importing video files.

    Hello everyone,
    I just started using FCP X a few days ago for a university project and I seem to encounter an audio problem when importing videos in .mp4, .mov format or via the import from camera option.
    Indeed I need to import videos in .mp4 and .mov format into FCP X. The import in itself is normal I can see my videos into the events/clips library and if I play them from the library I can hear the sound quite perfectly.
    However, when I want to edit my videos and put it in the timeline, there is no audio. As a result I started to think that my videos could be the problem so I tried the option "import from camera" option using the Isight camera of my macbook pro but the same things happened. I could hear the sound from the events/clips library but not from the timeline (I can't see any audiowaves in the timeline).
    I found a solution using quicktime and extracting the audio of the video in .m4a then importing the videos files and the audi files corresponding but it's a long process and a waste of time  as FCP X should be able to import the audio of my video into the timeline directly. Especially if it can read it from events/clips library.
    I hope I explained myself clearly and you could help me resolve my problem.
    Cheers
    Christophe
    PS: I'm using FCP X version 10.0

    Update to 10.0.5.
    You have an incorrect setting when you edit. Try trashing your preferences. Post screen shots of your timeline and toolbar.

  • My iphone 5 has bad audio qualities when using the telephone properties: what solution was offered by apple or provider?

    I have a new iphone 5 that has a very bad audio quality when using the basic telephone function. Both wen called or calling the conversation is either of quite poor quality or drops awau alltogether. The latter happens sometimes 5 times on a row during one conversation or better attempt to have one..:)
    Who has similar problems and what has been the solution offered by apple or their provider?

    I have the same issue with the following setup:
    Garmin 2597LMT

    I ended up disabling the nuvi bluetooth -- I don't subscribe to any smartlink services -- so I'll guess i'll go without Weather on the nuvi for now.

  • Orange mail software problem when using distribution lists : some lists cannot be used for writing e-mails. The problem does not exist when using Internet Explo

    When writing an e-mail directly on the Orange e-mail service (not on Thunderbird) I am facing the following problem : some distribution lists cannot be used to complete the adressees. The same lists can be used without difficulty if I use Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. The Orange hotline told me that probably my Firefox version was not updated. Unfortunately I checked that, and apparently the automatic updating works. I have also updated the plug ins, without any result.

    Please could you specify which webpage you mean ?
    The process with Orange is the following :
    - 1. click on "Write an e-mail" on the mail webpage
    - 2. click on "To" to reach the Contacts which opens a new window
    - 3. click on "Distribution lists"
    - 4. click on the selected list then click on "add". The list appears ot the box corresponding to the addresses .
    UNTIL THEN EVERYTHING WORKS WELL
    - 5. click on the button "validate", which closes the window previously opened and normally
    - 6. reloads the initial page with the complete list on the line "To". Instead of that I get the last e-mail address I previously used .
    Question : at which step of this process should I try your suggestions ? I tried when the initial page was reloaded with the wrong address, but it did not work to get back the rignt distribution list;
    Note that the whole process functions with OTHER Distribution lists. The only difference is that the problematic one has a larger number of adresses (62) however inferior to the maximum indicated by Orange (100).
    I also remind that there is no problem when using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox.
    Thanks for your help !

    Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
    Are you using iCloud?
    For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account.

  • ORA-01403: no data found Problem when using AUTOMATIC ROW FETCH to populate

    ORA-01403: no data found Problem when using AUTOMATIC ROW FETCH to populate a form.
    1) Created a FORM on EMP using the wizards. This creates an AUTOMATIC ROW FETCH
    TABLE NAME - EMP
    Item Containing PRIMARY KEY - P2099_EMPNO
    Primary key column - EMPNO
    By default the automatic fetch has a ‘Process Error Message’ of ‘Unable to fetch row.’
    2) Created a HTML region. Within this region add
    text item P2099_FIND_EMPNO
    Button GET_EMP to submit
    Branch Modified the conditional branch created during button creation to set P2099_EMPNO with &P2099_FIND_EMPNO.
    If I then run the page, enter an existing employee number into P2099_EMPNO and press the GET_EMP button the form is populated correctly. But if I enter an employee that does not exist then I get the oracle error ORA-01403: no data found and no form displayed but a message at the top of the page ‘Action Processed’.I was expecting a blank form to be displayed with the message ‘Unable to fetch row.’
    I can work around this by making the automated fetch conditional so that it checks the row exists first. Modify the Fetch row from EMP automated fetch so that it is conditional
    EXIST (SQL query returns at least one row)
    select 'x'
    from EMP
    where EMPNO = :P2099_EMPNO
    But this means that when the employee exists I must be fetching from the DB twice, once for the condition and then again for the actual row fetch.
    Rather than the above work around is there something I can change so I don’t get the Oracle error? I’m now wondering if the automatic row fetch is only supposed to be used when linking a report to a form and that I should be writing the fetch process manually. The reason I haven’t at the moment is I’m trying to stick with the automatic wizard generation as much as I can.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks Pete

    Hi Mike,
    I've tried doing that but it doesn't seem to make any difference. If I turn debug on it shows below.
    0.05: Computation point: AFTER_HEADER
    0.05: Processing point: AFTER_HEADER
    0.05: ...Process "Fetch Row from EMP": DML_FETCH_ROW (AFTER_HEADER) F|#OWNER#:EMP:P2099_EMPNO:EMPNO
    0.05: Show ERROR page...
    0.05: Performing rollback...
    0.05: Processing point: AFTER_ERROR_HEADER
    I don't really wan't the error page, either nothing with the form not being populated or a message at the top of the page.
    Thanks Pete

  • My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?And all the sounds on my phone are on, even the keyboard clicks.

    Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, double check the volume button just in case.  If you still can't hear the tones go into your settings>sounds and make sure the options are on. 

  • Problem when using About Operator in Contains Query

          1
    SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'about(Japan)', 1) > 0;
    COUNT(*)

    SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'about(Asia)', 1) > 0;
    COUNT(*)
          0
    SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'about(transportation)', 1) > 0;
