Audio question, clicking/popping when adjusting volume?

Hi all,
I returned my last touch because of loud hissing when headphones are plugged in. I notice it on higher quality headphones. when i move the volume slider i also hear this clicking/popping noise. Does anyone else hear that when they move the volume slider up and down or is an indication of a problem? it almost sounds like a poor sound effect. any thoughts would be helpful.
be sure to pause the music/movie when testing...

^^^ same here, no hissing but faint pops when adjusting the volume when a song is on pause in the 3/4 to full volume range. Never noticed it until I saw this thread though.

  • Won't unmute / annoying clicking sound when adjusting volume

    Hi, I'm using an HP Pavillion dv5 Notebook PC.
    After muting then unmuting in Windows Vista (or using the touch button) I will have no sound.  It returns when I restart or sometimes after a random amount of time.  I've had this problem since purchasing the computer.
    Another extremely annoying issue is that when using the touch volume slider there will be a clicking sound to go with the onscreen graphic of the volume changing.  The clicking lags and sometimes goes on for several seconds after I've stopped touching the slider (sometimes 30seconds+ if I use the slider a lot).
    If anyone has a solution or suggestion for either of these issues it would be muchly appreciated, thanks.

    I have an HP Pavilion dv7-1003ea Entertainment Notebook but had the same problem which HP were unable to resolve for me. I solved it by replacing one of the infuriating sounds with a short period of silence. If you look in C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP QuickTouch you may find 3 WAV files and a program SelectiveSound.exe which if you run it will enable you to switch between the 3 WAV files.
    I recorded a brief period of silence using a recording program called Polderbits but you could use any similar program. I renamed one of the 3 WAV files (in case I ever needed to revert) and saved my silent file with the original name of the WAV file in the HP Quick Touch directory. Incidentally simply deleting or renaming one of the WAV files didn't work. The system seems to remember the sound it last used. You actually need to replace the sound with a period of silence. Windows had a built in recorder in XP (C:\Windows\System32\sndrec32.exe)which produced WAV files. The similar program in Vista can be found in Start\All Programs\Accessories\Sound Recorder but alas for some reason known only to the Nerds at Microsoft this will only produce WAV files if you have Vista Home Basic. If you have the Premium version it will only produce WMA files which don't work in HPs QuickTouch.
    I don't know who takes the prize for the most infuriating here. The idiot at HP who thinks its a good idea for a volume control to click at you everytime you use it or the idiot at Microsoft who decided what type of sound clip can be produced with your version of Vista. Good luck

  • My mac book pro seems to be distorting (crackling) songs through itunes / any program or site when adjusting volume. (only happens adjusting using keyboard short cut)

    What i've got:
    Mac book pro: 10.6.8 OS X
    What's happening:
    A couple of weeks ago, I was adjusting the volume of an i-tunes song using the apple wireless keyboard. When i adjust it, either up or down, crackling and skipping of the song occurs. Happens to ALL songs on itunes, only happens if I am using my keyboard or mac book controls to change the volume. (does not occur when I adjust using i-tunes volume control). I wanted to see if it was i-tunes or not, but it seems even when adjusting volume of a website song or anything crackling and distortion still occurs!
    This is complete bull poop.
    Let me know if anyone has any ideas, because I am STUMPED.

    Since your issue occurs when using iTunes, post in their forum area.

  • Beat logo missing when adjusting volume

    So i had to clean my Pavilion dv6 laptop's hardware. When i got it back everything seems in working condition except for the fact that when i now adjust my volume a generic audio logo comes out instead of the beats disc logo. I have no idea if this means that the beats audio doesn't work or not. Personally, im partial to how the logo looks when im adjusting volume so i want to know how to get the logo back and if this means my laptop isn't working on beats audio anymore.

    Hi,
    Can you post back with the following.
    1.  The full Model No. and Product No. of your dv6 series notebook - see Here for a guide on locating this information.
    2.  The full version of the operating system you are using ( ie Windows 7 64bit ).

  • Audio: Snap, Crackle & Pop when running Vista.

    Hi Everyone,
    I have searched the forums and read a lot about the common problem of audio crackling when running Vista via Bootcamp. However, most of the searches pertain to Macbook Pro's as opposed to iMac, which is what I'm running.
    I've read the the problem is to do with the Wireless drivers and by disabling the Wirless drivers the problem is fixed. However, this obviously isn't an option if you have a wireless connection.
    Has this nagging issue now been resolved via an update (I have all the latest sofware and drivers according to Vista) or has a work around been figured out to stop this issue on an iMac?
    Thanks in advance for any advice or help.

    Hi - to answer my own post. I wasn't aware that I was running the older version of Bootcamp. After doing an Apple Software Update in Vista, Bootcamp updated to build 2.1 and appears to have resolved the problem. Excellent!

  • Audio-noisy clicks,+popping -using external sound card & Traktor software

    I have a Macbook with OS 10.4.10
    I purchased it so that I may install Traktor "DJ" software on it nd use it through a professional pa system as i have seen other people use the macbook.
    I previously had a dell latitude which was very noisy so I switched to the Macbook.
    However it is even noiser then the Dell.
    Ihave checked the latency settings and I am aware I may need to tweek the settings of the laptop
    Can anyone suggest what tweeks I can perfrom to remove the clicks and pops and allow a good quality sound
    cheers

    Hi adriant,
    try to visit both external soundcard website and traktor (native instrument) and download the most recent driver that support intel / universal.
    http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=niosxtut&nitr=1&lsrc=updates&tsrid=36252

  • Glitches, clicks, and pops when exporting all tracks as audio files

    It's getting to crunch time, and Logic 9 has been giving me a very hard time. It's now time to export my edited tracks as mono audio files to send to a mixing engineer. I thought mono files would be a button press away. Not so.
    *Background on Project*:
    – Started in Logic 8, and was continued in Logic 9
    – Contains only audio that was recorded using Logic
    – Has take folders with Quick Swipe Comps
    – Has flexed regions
    – Has take folders with flexed regions in them
    – Has been manually beat mapped
    Steps:
    1) Set each fader, on every track, to unity gain and centre panning.
    2) File > Export > All Tracks as Audio Files
    3) Select AIFF, 24-bit, bypass effect plug-ins, and include volume/pan automation, normalize off.
    *Expected Outcome*:
    I expect mono/stereo files of all of my unprocessed tracks, bounced in place with fades, flexing, and quick swipe comps applied.
    *Actual Outcome*:
    I get mono/stereo files with clicks, pops, and scrambled sections scattered throughout the files, within fades, and at quick swipe comping boundaries. Retrying the export may result in clicks, pops, and scrambled sections in different places.
    Workaround:
    While the glitching in fades and at comp boundaries seems to happen in offline bounces, it rarely happens when playing the song in realtime. Unfortunately, there's no realtime option when you "export all tracks as audio files." *My workaround is to export the tracks one at a time by bouncing the project in realtime with the desired track soloed*.
    This is excruciatingly slow. To speed things up, I've taken to soloing six tracks at a time, assigning all of them to the surround output, and panning each track exclusively to a different surround channel. This way, I can do a split file surround bounce and get six mono files, each with the contents of a different track. If your audio interface does not support 6 outputs, then you'll need to download SoundFlower and use their virtual 16 channel output.

    In addition to the flex algorithms being disappointingly substandard in overall tc quality, flex tracks glitch constantly--especially if there are tempo changes or crossfades. You may be able to freeze them first and then export. AlternAtively, you could try tmelocking them and then using an alternate tempo map with a single tempo, then switching back after you flex tracks are bounced.

  • Flash player crashes when adjusting audio volume

    MacBook Pro, OS X Version 10.9.5
    Safari internet browser, version 7.1
    I am taking online classes via megameeting.com.  When loading the classroom, flash works perfectly fine.  However, as soon as I adjust the computer's audio volume (either by pressing the keyboard button or manually clicking and dragging the volume adjustment slider bar on my desktop), I immediately get a white screen with a gray "plugin failure" message. 
    I can run the same classroom simultaneously on the same computer utilizing google chrome, and flash does not crash on the chrome browser when I adjust the volume. 
    I followed the directions to perform a clean uninstall and reinstall (running Flash version 15), and I still have the same problem.  My settings are set to allow internet plugins.  So far, I have not detected this problem where adjusting the audio volume crashes flash on other websites.  Any help?

  • When adjusting the audio volume in a selected region, why does it give me a curved line instead of straight and why cant I change it like i can with a fade in our out?

    When adjusting the audio volume in a selected region, why does it give me a curved line as a transition instead of straight, and why cant I change the fade shape like i can with a fade in our out? When I slide thet volume all the way down it makes a very abrupt down curve. It's audibly noticdible.
    Thank you.

    Use the range selection tool and select the portion of the clip you want to change the volume on. Drag the volume line down and FCP will create keyframes which you can adjust as you want to get a fade shape.

  • Audio Codec Error after adjusting volume V 7.02

    I get an error reading audio file on playback after using
    Adjust Volume tool, Presenter V7.02. I have to re-record the
    audio.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56001-56500/sp56429.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let it complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.

  • Bad clicking popping sound when macbook plugged into external speakers

    I have a black MacBook Core Duo, a white Macbook Core 2 Duo, and a Macbook Pro Core Duo that are suddenly ALL exhibiting horrible behavior when plugged into external speakers using the 1/8th inch headphone output converted to RCA to connect to the speakers.
    I have always known that sometime in the last year or 2, one of the OS updates introduced a popping noise when the audio system has been idle and then suddenly fires a sound again after being quiet for a while.
    But now all 3 of these machines, all running 10.6.7 with all current available software updates are exhibiting a clicking / popping /crackling sound almost CONSTANTLY when hooked up to the same set of speakers I've had for years. I tested with other speakers just to make sure the noise is still there.
    Every time someone goes on or offline in my ichat buddy list, the crackling noise that accompanies the typical buddy available/unavailable sound is extremely irritating.
    Every time I hit the volume up or down button I hear the awful noise alone with the volume feedback sound. If I keep hitting volume up or down FAST repeatedly, the sound goes away. But the moment I stop doing anything for even 1-2 seconds, and then touch the volume up/down buttons again, the cracking sound returns.
    I have no idea what software update introduced this problem or what the heck is going on. I have booted these machines from external drives with a fresh install of 10.6.7. I've tried 10.5.8. Nothing works.
    It's like some kind of firmware has permanently screwed up the 1/8th inch output on all of these machines when hooked up to external speakers. And these are all completely different model laptops
    I do not hear the noise through these laptops' internal speakers, or if I plug headphones directly into their headphone jacks.
    I have had to install an M-Audio USB Micro onto my main laptop to use it's 1/8th inch stereo out to connect to my speakers in order to eliminate this horrible noise. But this should NOT be necessary and I am not satisfied with this fix as a permanent solution.
    I'm astonished to find this problem on ALL THREE of these different laptops suddenly.
    The Anti Pop program did not alleviate the problem. Please help. Apple please issue software fixes to get rid of these problems once and for all.

  • Weird ticking sound when adjusting the volume...

    Hi all
    When adjusting the volume using the F3 F4, my new ibook 12" g4 makes a weird ticking sound before it catches up an adjusts the volume with the normal "blop" sound. Is this normal? Batteri is on "normal."
    Thanks
    Erlend

    I have this same problem with my new 1.33Ghz iBook G4. I've had the logic board replaced twice and the top assembly with the speakers replaced twice also. It still makes the ticking noise and it's quite specific to reproduce so none of the Apple tech have spent the time to reproduce it. I think this problem is more wide spread than Apple realizes.
    Here are the factors that HAVE to exist for this problem to be reproduced:
    1. The computer must be have the AC adapter unplugged and running off of the battery.
    2. Un-click "Play feedback when volume is changed" in System Preferences under "Sound" (While this is not exclusive to having the "ticking audio" problem occur, it is easier to notice with this box unchecked)
    3. 10.4.2 or 10.4.3 (even happens on a fresh install)
    4. Push the F4 and F5 keys to change the volume for at least 10-20 seconds and the "ticking sound" will occur. (the lagging after the tick is most annoying.)
    Launching iTunes and playing audio will temporarily make this problem subside. Once this problem occurs with "Play feedback when volume is changed" unchecked, it will continue until audio is played or the sound preference panel is accessed. Often the sound balance will be 100% to the left after this problem has started occuring. (Checking the Sound preference panel shows this)
    Has anyone had this problem fixed permanently? Apple seems to be unaware of this problem. 10.4.4 could fix it. Unfortunately we are not even sure if this is a hardware problem or a software issue. I will post with details of what happens when I bring my machine in to the Apple store for the 4th or 5th time.
