Audio skipping in lip dub

I am creating a lip dub using Final Cut X 10.0.8 that has multiple sequences above an M4A audio file. At certain points the audio goes silent then resumes a second or two later. It is happening at different points in the timeline but not always at the same places. Everything is completely rendered. I have tried removing the audio and re-laying it but get the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Convert the audio to AIFF or WAV 48k. Do not use compressed audio in production.

Video and audio skipping in PowerDVD 8

Hi,
I have an issue when I try to play DVD's in PowerDVD 8. Exactly every 5 seconds the video and audio skip, or jump/become choppy and I cannot watch a movie. I have been researching and trying to figure out what is happening but have no idea. Could it be the X-fi I have installed the latest beta drivers to no avail.
Anybody have this problem or have any ideas on how to fix it's I have updated all drivers/firmware for everything and still can't make it go, sigh.
I have the following specs:
Intel x38BT mobo
X-Fi Fatalitly champ.
4GB DDR3 RAM
9800 GTX
ASUS 8x dvd-rom
E8500 CPU
Win Vista 32-bit
Thanks

Gigabyte Boards at least with x48 chipset have an audio latency bug that is only fixed via a beta bios update. I have no idea if this also might affect your board...

Audio skips after rendering

Does anyone know how to correct audio that skips after rendering? The video is fine and the audio matches up to the video but the audio skips as though it is going in and out. The movie is about 2 hours long and the first few clips were fine but now it is becoming a problem. I rendered both the video and audio at the same time then I went back and rendered only.....mixdown to see if I could get it to work......no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tammy,
If we've dropped a bit of time for this part of the edit, you now have time for more fun aspects of it.
While I will casually monitor my Meters, I spend much more time with a good set of noise-canceling headphones, listening critically. The Meters are basically to point up potential issues. With Audio, if you have not invested in a really good set of headphones, do yourself a big favor, and sneak 'em into the budget.
Glad that you got things toned down.
Now, let's go on to Lesson 02 - The Audio Mixer. Unlike adding Keyframes to a Clip, when your cutting is done, you can apply Track Keyframes to attenuate (also Pan, etc.) you Audio Tracks to suit. One would just change the Send in that Track to Write, or Touch, and "ride the gain" with the slider, as is required. I probably do most of my Audio editing there, than addressing the individual Clips. First thing that I have done is cut back a bit on the frequency of the Track Keyframes in Edit>Preferences, as I find the default to add too many (and you can go in and adjust these by hand, if you need to "smooth" things out a bit.). One caution: do this when you are satisfied with the cuts, Clip placement, etc., as these Keyframes are applied to the Track. If you were to remove a Clip, and replace it, those Keyframes would apply to that new Clip, whether you want them to, or not. This trips some folk up, if they do the Audio Mixer thing too soon in the editing. Wait until you are "in love" with your Timeline otherwise. It's like scoring a Project. One does that as about the very last step, or much work will be repeated, and that is not fun.
Good luck,

ATV2 Video pixelated and audio skipping

I don't think this is the same as the flickering issue or the frame dropping issue discussed by others. Thus, the new thread.
When streaming videos (movies or TV shows) from itunes to the ATV2 the picture will get pixelated with the missing portions turning green. The video will continue but the audio skips (exactly like a needle on a record player skipping back). If I exit the video to the menu then resume, the video plays fine for awhile until the problem arises again. To give you an example of the frequency, it happened about a dozen times during one 40 minute episode.
All software is updated to the latest versions and all hardware has been restarted. Content is encoded using handbrake using the ATV2 preset and then passed through MetaX for tags. The setup is as follows: stored on DROBO->firewire->iMac->802.11n(5Ghz)->Airport Extreme->ethernet->ATV2.
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks!

Haven't been able to see a pattern yet. I can watch a recently encoded movie (1-2hrs) without it happening once, but like I mentioned, it happened 12 times during a single 40 minute tv show. Both were encoded using same version of handbrake and ATV2 preset.
How do these two files compare in terms of total average data rate?

Only half of some iTunes Matched songs on my iPhone will play, then audio skips to next song in playlist!

Several (maybe 5%) of iTunes Matched songs on my iPhone do this... at EXACTLY 1/2 way through the song.
EXAMPLE: At 2:25 of a 4:50 long song (Shania Twain - From This Moment) the next song in playlist (Taylor Swift - Tim McGraw) starts as the audio skips to beginning of next song in playlist. Oddly, Shania's attractive album artwork and title stays up while Taylor's tune plays (?)
When the timeline for the first Shania song hits the end, the artwork slides to Taylor Swift's CD Cover art and the timer slider adjusts to near the end of that song.
When I play same songs on the same playlist on iTunes (also downloaded from iTunes Match) this does not occur.
Does anyone else see this happen or are there any suggestions?
THANKS

Hey Guys, from my late model iPhone 4, I am also seeing my iTunes Match songs terminate playing very abruptly ...some won't play at all ...others skip to the next track after 10 seconds.
I checked the source files on my iMAC, and they are 100 percent perfect.
Tried deleting them, recreating them, signing out and then back into iTunes with Match On & Off, etc ...still no resolution to these problems.
Maybe the MATCH product is crashing under it's own weight now? It used to be good, but now I am not so sure anymore.
Please post if you have any solution or suggestions.
Thanks!

Audio skips when streaming from the internet (pandora/grooveshark).

I'm using airport extreme, wired connection, to a macbook pro (2011) and mac pro (2009). audio skips on both devices when streaming from pandora or grooveshark. problem has persisted through system upgrades, clean installs etc... Problem persists through different web browsers (Firefox/chrome/safari)
Ironicaly, Itunes radio does not skip, neither does netflix.
I have seen COUNTLESS posts regarding this problem from many different APPLE users. I would love to see apple address this problem...

Your first step is to determine if there is an issue with this specific movie or if it's a universal problem. Does ANYTHING from the MBP provide both sound and video?
Another thought is DRM coding but that should affect both video and audio. If the movie has DRM coding and your television does not, then the movie won't play. I'm not an expert but I don't think that that's your problem because you do get the video.

Audio skips back few seconds while video freezes

Hi,
We are running FMS 4.0 to stream on-demand MBR videos using the OSMF player. We have noticed that occasionally during playback the video freezes, while the audio skips back a few seconds and starts playing. Once the audio catches up, the video unfreezes and resumes normal playback.
Any ideas on what might be causing this and how to debug?
Thanks.

I looked at the logs and it does look like there was switching going on when this issue occured.
Could you expand a bit more on what you mean by "switching issue" and "exact same timelines" ?
Also, how could I go about verifying that the different bitrate streams have the same "timelines"?
Thanks,

Video pauses and audio skips

While watching any video in iTunes, the video will freeze and the audio will skip rapidly like a broken record for 5-10 seconds, the video will then speed forward and finally resume at normal speed but with the audio out of sync. Sometimes this happens only once, but it usually occurs a few times in one viewing. The audio will sync back up witht the video if I manually skip forward or backwards, but it's ridiculously annoying and I shouldn't have to put up with this since I have to update this stupid program five times a month. When the audio skips, it does something like this: if the character is saying "attack", the audio will skip and all I'll hear is "attaattaattaattaattaattaattaattaattaattaattaattaatta". Does that make sense? I hope so. Thanks for anyone's input.

Audio Skipping in iTunes

I have been experiencing this problem for quite some time now. When I listen to music files either purchased from iTunes or directly uploaded from a CD onto iTunes, the audio skips. It is as if a second has been taken out of the song -- for instance, a song may jump from 22 to 24 seconds. It is never in the same place, and the number of times it happens per song varies.
This problem does not occur with files downloaded from other sources and played on iTunes. It only happens with the ones that are encoded by iTunes as AAC audio files.
Does anyone know if there is some type of troubleshooting I can perform to see if my computer is having a problem playing AAC audio files?? I am extremely perplexed by this, and no one has been able to help me thus far. Please someone help!

Hi,
I have a similar problem with music files 'stuttering' or 'jittering' and it's particularly noticeable during quieter tracks. Almost sounds like crackles or pops in the background.
The interesting thing is that I played the same problematic files on the same machine using Windows Media Player and they were rock steady perfect!? Suggests to me an issue with the iTunes software. I was similarly tempted to reinstall iTunes and the audio drivers, but I see this didn't help another friend here with the same problem.
Th eproblem has come about since I transferred all music to my new computer running Windows 7 64 bit and wonder if there is an issue with the latest iTunes 64 bit version software??
Any thoughts/advice please? Regards.

PowerBook Audio Skipping Problem

Hi.
I own a PowerBook G4 that runs OS 10.5.8. Recently I have been having this audio skipping problem. It happens when I play back things like DVDs and audio files.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Too bad Apple can't write software to run on Windows.
iTunes is s h i t.
I guess they don't care about Vista uesers

The audio skips between titles on my my slide show?

The audio skips between titles on my my slide show?

No rather foggy from a west coast Swedish out-look too.
If burn error - I would
• Use a very good brand of DVDs - Verbatim comes to mind (ever heard me say anything else ?)
• DVD type - DVD-R plays on even older DVD-players (No +/-RW - known problem makers)
• Burn speed - I set it to x2 or x4
Just to get best possibly result

Audio Skipping when iTunes is in background.

Hello everyone.
Whenever I'm playing audio (iTunes, quicktime movies, Youtube, anything involving audio), and I jump around from application to application, the audio skips horribly. It doesn't seem to matter if I have 2 applications open or 20. I don't have any lyric widgets open, which I've read can cause problems.
Anyone know of any solutions to this? It's really frustrating that I can't listen to my music in peace!
Thanks,
-Eric

There is always the throwing mud on the wall and see what sticks approach...
Repair permissions.
Run DiskWarrior. Don't have it? Get it.
Rest PRAM.
Reset PMU (last resort).
Also a good idea to test your memory: http://www.memtestosx.org/
And to keep all media on a separate drive than the OS.

Audugy 2 Platinum Spdif Optical out audio skips/stutters/static/pop/interfere

I have the Audigy Dolby 5. working, blue light from the sony receiver, but when the dvd plays with powerdvd, the picture is fine, but the audio skips and stutters. It works fine when I am decoding via the audigy and analog,?and I have tried powerdvd and windvd and they both have the same issue with spdif, so the issue is with the Optical out and some kind of interference.
Is there anything?I can do?
Any input would be appreciated, thank you.

hey roachmojo,
join the club...i have exactly the same issues as you have...WinXP SP2, Audigy Platinum, Optical In from Sat Recei'ver, Creative Gigaworks 7. analog speakers...
sound skips, stutters, cracks, pops continuously
tried upgrading drivers, but made problem even worse
can't go back to old drivers even with thorough uninstall (registry, driver cleaner pro, manual deletion, etc.)
might be because creative "downgraded" firmware on my card with new drivers
i'm using an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe M/B with Nvidia Nforce audio onbard (heard there's major issues with this)
any help would be appreciated, otherwise it's time to toss this junk out

Audio Skipping While Using iPod + Mail Application on iPhone 3G

Hey there folks. I'm experiencing Audio skipping and popping while using both the iPod and the Mail application at same time. Typing is also very slow in Mail application while iPod is playing music. Have installed the 2.01 update, didn't try to do this before, so not sure if this is normal behaviour. Even if normal, this should not be so. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Ian

I'm getting a lot of problems with the iPhone slowing down whilst I'm typing.
I haven't played a lot but I think it's just not coping with iPod features whilst it's trying to do all the other cool stuff.
I rarely have a problem with it when not using the iPod function.
But it's not supposed to be like this I expect. Seems like some software is not being polite with CPU sharing

A88XM Gaming + R9 270x HDMI Audio Skipping/Dropping

I have been using HDMI audio out for a long time and I have NEVER run into this issue. I have just spent the last 6 hours trying to troubleshoot this issue and I am about to RMA this board and go with an Intel.
I have an MSI R9 270x and used it with an Asrock A88X board and never had an issue. I "upgraded" to the MSI A88XM Gaming motherboard and now this same video card has audio skipping and dropouts over HDMI.
I have done the following:
1. New HDMI Cable.
2. AMD Catalyst uninstall/reinstall/upgrade/rollback - pretty much everything you can possibly do to troubleshoot a driver issue. Went into safe mode to wipe drivers using DDU.
3. Finally resorted to reinstalling Windows 8.1. Did NOT fix issue.
4. Bios is up to date. Drivers are up to date. Have disabled and enabled realtek device in system properties. Nothing changes the sound issues.
I can't for the life of me figure out why I am having audio issues. Video displays perfectly fine, not a single issue. But audio keeps dropping for a split second to my surround receiver, as if the PCM audio stream gets cut. Sometimes there's what seems to be static sounds as well.
It's really annoying. Again, I have had this card for a couple of months and have been using HDMI for a long time, with my 7870 and my 6850 before that. I have never had this issue before. I do not wish to use Digital Optical because it doesn't do 5.1 PCM out to my soundsystem.
Please help me, I am about to give up on this motherboard.

Quote from: Nichrome on 27-August-14, 01:28:55
I would argue about this. Indeed they are a bit more supportive for Intel boards, but let's be fair: Intel has released quite few NEW series, whereas AMD hasn't released anything new yet (FX4-8 were around for years, and still the same socket). That is why MSI releases more BIOSes for Intel based boards, as these are more common. Just about 9 series came out, and now X99 will come out with DDR4 for Intel. Whereas for AMD I still haven't heard anything about plans of releasing boards based on DDR4. So that doesn't surprise me why they support Intel more than AMD. AMD is way behind Intel (and that's not an opinion but the fact). And surely not just MSI is more supportive for Intel, but it depends on popularity of brand's boards, because if Asus AMD boards are more popular than Intel, then obviously they will more likely support AMD based board, rather than Intel.
You don't get what I am saying here. I'm just gonna cherry pick this example:
http://www.msi.com/support/mb/A88XG45_GAMING.html#down-bios
1 Bios update since launch.
http://www.msi.com/support/mb/Z97-GAMING-7.html#down-bios
4 Bios update since launch.
Two of the top high end boards for each respective platform, both released recently. In fact, Intel is more recent. You can clearly see that they are more interested in providing post launch support for Intel vs AMD.
Go to Asus webpage, and just pick any A88X board, even the mid range ones. You can see a bunch of bios updates, same with Asrock, same with Gigabyte.
I can't honestly believe this board has been out since early march and already post launch support is dead. As a motherboard manufacturer, you don't win customers with fancy features and cool looks. You win customers based on post lauch tech support.
Check this thread:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1469169/msi-a88x-g45-gaming-fm2-goodness
People who are mid range enthusiasts ARE in fact interested in this board. But BIOS issues stagnate any interest in it, along with VRM issues.
It's a great board, and MSI has what seems to be good AMD offerings, but they need to get their BIOSes right. Proof is right there on Newegg, pull up any AMD motherboard on Newegg and for every positive review, you have a negative review on issues with BIOSes and random things just not "working", no driver updates, etc.
That's what I don't get. Why bother even releasing enthusiast directed AMD boards, and not bother supporting them after they have been launched?
