Audio sounds jerky.

My h8-1256s using Windows 7 that came with the unit will not play audio CDs properly. They sound like they are jerky.

Have you made any upgrade? Graphics card?
Check device manager if multiple audio drivers are installed.

My audio/sound has been erratic for a while and now I have no output Help!

My audio/sound has been erratic for a while, both output and input, sometimes one would worked but not the other and sometimes both would be none excitant.
System preference does not show what I have connected aka external speakers or headset and the sound output in menu is grayed plus the output on system preferences output as well, sound input looks ok now.
Had Tiger, so I upgraded to Leopard to see if that would helped, Output use to come back after a while, however now input works but output hasn't worked for days, I can hear sound when I am rebooting or starting the computer, but its gone right after.
Since the Mac its fame for their audio stability, no ones seem to know how to solve the problem, so I am kinda desperate.
I have tried the following; ran repair permissions, looked for fluff lol!....still cannot fix the glitch. Any new ideas please!!
Thanks in advance!

Since the problem existed before installing Leopard, it is clearly a hardware problem. Updating a broken system does not fix it, in fact many times it makes it worse or at least harder to diagnose.
I suggest you repost in the appropriate hardware forum - in your case the G4-17 forum(s) here:

Lenovo 3000 N200 (0769) - Audio/Sound problem

Hi,
My system: Win XP SP2, all drivers are updated with Lenovo Care - System Update, in Control Panel->Device Manager all items are OK regarding sound system, NO yellow marks (Audio Codecs - OK, Media Control Devices - OK, Realtek HD Audio - OK, UAA Bus Driver for HD Audio - OK), DirectX 9.0, and moreover sound test from Control Panel-> Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager works.
BUT the sound doesnt work at all.
I found also some odd stuffs: in Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Audio -> Sound playback/Sound recording -> Default Service box I have only "Bluetooth Hands-free Audio", and nothing about Realtek HD. The same with the volume icon in the taskbar: when I open it, in Options->Properties->Mixer Device there is only "Bluetooth Hands-free Audio", and again nothing about Realtek HD.
Another strange thing: Control Panel->System->Device Manager->Sound, Video and Game controllers->right-click Legacy Audio Drivers->Property and there is a blank Multimedia Devices window. Is that correct ?
Thank You for any help.

PCI-E Audio Sounds Terrible?

For years I have been using an X-Fi Platinum PCI card and have been very happy with it. This past August it died and I decided to replace it, and do away with my SLI rig. I purchased an EVGA GTX 760 4G FTW video card and a Recon 3D Fatality Champion sound card.
I installed both with no problems. When I went to listen to music with the new card, it sounded terrible. I opened up the included software to change some settings and it took forever to load. Once the software loaded, after making a few setting changes, it froze. After multiple uninstalls and reinstalls I still had the same problem. I contacted Creative Support, and after a few emails, and sending them info on my machine, I was told to try the Recon in a different slot. I tried every slot on my MOBO, and still had issues with audio fading in and out. Music and games both. The software was less buggy in the last slot I used, but the audio was not right. Also, when using my Klipsch Pro Media 5.1 speakers, the rear speakers were virtually non-existent. The last thing I tried with the card was to disable the onboard audio in my son's machine and install it in his machine. The software worked pretty good in his machine, but the audio sounded terrible, and was fading in and out like my machine even though his machine only has a 2.1 speaker setup.
At this point Creative created an RMA, and I sent the card back to them. While I was waiting to hear back from them, I found a used X-Fi Platinum on Ebay and purchased it. Sounds so much better than the Recon. I also purchased a new X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCIE card to install in my work computer.
Here's where the frustration set in. Before taking the Xtreme Audio card to work, I went through the same process on my son's machine to try out the card. Lo and behold, the audio was fading in and out, just like the Recon did. I took the Xtreme Audio card in to work and installed in my work computer. Guess what? Same audio issue. I have tried using Windows Media Player and WinAmp. Both had issues with the audio. I even installed Virtual XP and tried Music Match. Same problem. At work it is a 2.1 speaker setup using Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 speakers.
At work, along with the company supplied PC, I also have a Dell XPS M1710 laptop with a X-Fi notebook card. It is my personal laptop, and it amazing how good the notebook card sounds. My ultimate goal is to get the sound on the company PC to be as good or better than the laptop, and to be able to bring the laptop home. So far, that hasn't happened.
Meanwhile Creative did replace the Recon, but I have not opened it at this point. It is sitting at work while I decide to either try it in the work PC, or just sell it on Ebay without opening it.
Is it possible that I just ended up buying 2 defective sound cards? I am really afraid to open up the new Recon and have the same issues. Is this an inherent problem with Win 7 and PCIE sound cards?
At this point I have no plans to install a PCIE sound card in my home machine because of the issues of 2 different sound cards between 3 different computers. I even bought another used X-Fi Platinum to have as a spare.
I thought maybe that since the Recon is a gaming card, that might explain why music sounds so bad. But why does the Xtreme Audio card do the same thing?
Computer info:
My machine:
Asus Maximus III Formula ROG ( no onboard audio )
i7-860 (not overclocked)
8gb DDR3
GTX 760
Klipsch Pro Media THX 5.1 speakers

Any thoughts or help with this would be greatly appreciated.

The Recon3D cards are pretty terrible. Not sure why you didn't go with the Z or older X-Fi.
I switched from Audigy 2 to Recon3D and it was beyond meh. I actually thought onboard sounded better. I then grabbed a regular Z (not Zx or ZxR) after a couple of years of using onboard junk, and it was like having an Audigy 2 back in my rig - Just without all the problems such as pops and cracks during heavy load (such as recording gameplay with Fraps) which was the reason I got rid of it in the first place.
I'm more than happy with the Z, as long as I use the .16 drivers because the new ones are really messed up. I use pretty much the same EQ settings that I used with Audigy 2 and it sounds phenomenal.

Hi Brian,
Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
Thanks for your help though!

How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

Record your voice using iPhone (for ringtone only 35 secs or under are valid), sync iPhone with iTunes.
In iTunes the recorded voice is listed under Music as some_numbers.m4a.
Right click on the item and choose Create AAC version.
Drag the converted voice onto the desktop.
Delete the voice copy in iTunes. (important step)
On desktop, rename the some_number.m4a to something_more_intelligent.m4r
Drag it back to iTunes and you will find it under Tones.
Now select it (for sync) and connect your iPhone, do a sync.
If everything works out, it will be in Settings > Sounds > Ringtone.
Now choose a contact you want to assign this ringtone, tap Edit and add the ringtone.
Hope this helps.

Beats-Audio / Sound System Enhancement dv7 / HP Envy 15

Beats-Audio - Sound system Enhancement
Test system
dv7t – 6100 Quad / Windows 7- 64bit
Beats-audio
Introduction - Cave Sound Caper
Edits 29-Nov-2011
This is a re-write of this document.
Parts One and Two have been flipped. It's a work in progress.
The purpose of this Post is to provide a method to enhance the sound coming from your onboard beats-audio speakers. The quality of the sound should improve - more importantly, MORE sound should be available. This is important if your system is suffering from lack of enough sound from the onboard speaker system.
This process does not make use of the Loudness Equalization enhancement. I tested the Loudness Equalization enhancement (for a different purpose). Setting the enhancement on my test system and then switching the enhancement off resulted in the “Low Sound” syndrome. It took some amount of work to recover from that mess. The Loudness Equalization enhancement, in this author's opinion, is to be avoided unless its use is necessary.
FLIPPED:
The original intent of this procedure has been to provide a means to increase the amount of sound available from the onboard speakers on notebooks that are equipped with beats-audio IDT sound drivers. The “Pre-work” on my original post was overwhelming the intent. If your system is healthy, and the only reason to read this document is to enhance the amount of sound from the speakers, there is no need to hash through the work to fix your IDT driver installation. I’ve moved that section to the end – IDT installation and other work has become Part Two.
You must have your IDT HD driver successfully installed into your system.   The proper IDT HD driver contains the beats-audio interface.
Where to Start?
If you have “No Sound”, the Enhancement process may not work for your system. Please take a look at Part Two and decide whether any of the steps in that section apply to you. It is not my intention that you waste your time trying things you’ve already done over and over to regain the sound on your system. There are many posts on the forum on how fix “No sound”. This post addresses only a couple of “No sound” issues.   There is one slight possibility – see the section about the controls in iTunes – make sure your sound players volume controls are not mis-matched – and make sure you didn’t turn something OFF by accident. If you turned off the sound while watching a movie and now the HDMI sound is off - Poof! You might not have any sound – anywhere. It's just something to check...
If you have “Low Sound”, you might consider reinstalling your IDT driver to see if the issue can be corrected: IDT reinstallation is described in Part Two.
SideBar: As of 24-Nov-2011
If you have a dv7t: check on your HP Software and Driver website for a new IDT HD audio driver. Depending on your model, there may be a new version of the IDT driver, BIOS, and other important updates.
Part One
Some Setup Checks and on to the Enhancement
Make sure all basic Sound settings are set to “Default” to start.
Portions of this procedure are "not of my invention". Full credit will be given later in the Post. This section explains how to increase the amount of sound coming from the onboard speakers. It also attempts to give you a bit of control over the kind of sound coming from the speakers that you may not have at the present. Beats-audio is great; frankly, though - it's made for external powered speakers or headphones... what you get from the speakers on the notebook leaves something to be desired.
A while back I found a very interesting post on the topic of increasing the sound from the onboard speakers. The post was originally written for the HP Envy15. I believe the post has merit - Part One of this procedure is based on that original post.
I tested the suggested combined actions – it does work (at least on a healthy system). The sound quality showed improvement over the standard “out-of-the-box” beats-audio setup and the quantity of volume increased. In other words, this procedure makes the sound coming from the onboard speakers louder without the use of the Loudness Equalization enhancement setting.
I would suggest trying this “Enhancement” under the following circumstances:
Sound Quality is Poor, or the amount of sound from the speakers needs improvement
Sound is quantity “LOW”*
Sound is absent AND you believe the absence is NOT due to hardware failure.** See note on iTunes.
NOTES:
* If your LOW sound issue is severe, it may ONLY respond to using the Loudness Equalization enhancement, in which case this procedure is not recommended for your use. The two are not compatible. See Part Two.
** If there is NO sound on your computer, it’s possible that completing this procedure may not result in any improvement. See Part Two.
Sound Controls – iTunes, Media Player
I would add to the emphasis on checking the volume on one’s iTunes setting. If iTunes volume is turned down, the notebook’s speakers will respond to that – turn up the volume in iTunes without adjusting the volume in the volume mixer and the sound on the notebook will not increase properly (or will suddenly jump). It’s a juggling act and one that must be taken into account when the sound is being reset.   Additionally, if you have other audio players on your computer – in addition to those mentioned in the post – be sure to check them for volume controls: it is important during a sound reset that all the sound players be in sync. If you miss this, you may not get your sound back.
Check for this mismatch in sound volume controls if you do not have sound or if you did have sound and, at some point you turned OFF your sound while watching a moving, a DVD, a something on HDMI controlled audio - and suddenly - you do not have any sound. Sound controls get tangled up. Sometimes you just have to unplug it, but you do have to check the controls.
Sample Rate and bit Depth
I do not use the suggested Sample Rate and bit depth of 24bit 96000 Hz. My system cannot tell the difference and defaults everything to 16bits – my recording equipment cannot discern the difference.   My ears lack sample rate sophistication.   I’ve left my dv7t Quad sound, Default Format (sample rate bit depth) at 16bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality). Sounds fine and it’s where most of my crummy recordings are set anyway. Don’t lose sleep over this one.
Where’s my Taskbar ICON?
A couple of HP forum posts have mentioned the loss of the beats audio icon from the Taskbar tray – the icon should restore itself if one can force the IDT driver to reinstall. Without the IDT driver, beats-audio is not going to work. Assuming the driver has installed and one can reach the beats-audio panel from the Control Panel, THEN it’s possible that for some weird reason the Taskbar icon didn’t reset. It might be possible to try and force a reload of the beats panel controller into the Taskbar. I think this is the file.
For a 64bit system:     C:\Program Files\IDT\WDM\sttray64.exe

It took me awhile but I now have the sound level about 3x what it was to start with. Try these tweaks:
Sound Enhancement Procedure
Control Panel > Sound > Playback > (Highlight) Speakers and Headphones > Configure
New Window ‘speaker setup’ > Test (should hear sound L/R) > Next >
           UNCHECK ‘Front left and right’ (if checked) > Next > Finish

             Tone Controls > Bass +1 Treble +3 > Apply
             Advanced > Default Format > 24 bit 96000Hz > Apply
NOTE:
After this DO NOT use the Beats control (Fn + B) or it will reset the tone controls.
HP dv7(t)
Taskbar > beats-audio panel
OR
Control Panel > Beats Audio Control Panel
        Listening Experience > Graphic Equalizer > Custom
        -1, +8, +10, +8, +9, +9, +9, +8, +9
Remember that these are suggestions – start here and re-adjust later as desired.
LEFT SIDE
Make sure Beats Audio is CHECKED
        Click the “Music” radio (round) button
        65, 65, 85, 65, 65
NOTE: The Left Side settings are somewhat arbitrary. The “Center” setting is higher – this provides the most sound and should be set higher at least initially for testing, especially if your system has sound issues.
The next section is partially excerpted from the original Post – Remember: JJ’s post was written for HP Envy15 – please adjust your results accordingly. Edits have been made for readability.
Control Panel > Beats Audio Control Panel
Playback > Speakers and headphones > Arrow above Speaker symbol and Select Small Speakers
Select Equalization> Select 'custom'>
Adjustments for this are mainly to boost the signal level in the preamp so we get higher volume while not distorting the sound from the tiny built in speakers.
My setting values are as follows: left to right;
-1, +8, +10, +8, +9, +9, +9, +8, +9, +10
MAKE SURE TO CLICK SAVE WHEN DONE!
Note: Do not crank up the Bass (31hz) control or it will overload the speakers which can't reproduce this anyway, you can even turn down more if you have distortion at high volume.
Check that the slide controls for 'master' and 'speaker symbol' are all the way up.
This should make a big difference in sound volume and quality, and there is one last way to get louder sound. Depending on what you use to play back your audio you can adjust the program’s sound settings or EQ controls also.
In iTunes the EQ has a 'preamp' slider which I boost to about +6, this increases the output level while leaving the EQ settings alone (make sure to check the turn EQ on box).
Windows media player: you have to raise all EQ levels equally (not too much) to boost without affecting sound quality.
In general it is not a good idea to use more than one EQ system in an audio signal or you get more distortion, so don't adjust the EQ curves or bass/treble on more than one device. I chose the Beats / IDT EQ to make the tonal adjustments because it is the audio driver program and preamp that outputs to the speakers, so it should have the best sound quality.
Any adjustments before the preamp that add distortion will just be amplified, so go easy on adjustments in your play back programs.
Finally, when you play your audio,
Sound > Open Volume Mixer >
Make sure to click the Sound logo in the Taskbar so the slider pops up>
Click ‘mixer’ then you should see all the sliders for your devices;
You can independently adjust the levels for the right mix.
If you open the Beats panel and minimize it then a mixer slider also shows for this and you can dial in the effect of the EQ settings.
Headphones:
One last thing; When listening to headphones you will need to increase the bass EQ setting (since headphones can reproduce the low frequencies) in the Beats panel or I just change the drop down selector to the one with a flat curve (beats studio I think) -- the volume for my headphones was not an issue so I defeat the EQ for better sound quality.
Whew. I Didn't think it was this complicated when I started typing....
Hope everyone enjoys better sound with this.

Part Two
Loudness Equalization – and the LOW Sound Result
I was testing the system sound… CD playing in the background: Sting “If on a Winter’s Night” 02 Soul Cake playing through iTunes – standard speakers-headphones (beats-audio coasting along).
Sounds -> Playback Devices -> Speakers and Headphones -> Properties -> Enhancements
I have rewritten this part three times trying to get it right. Here’s the gist:
I switched on the “Loudness Equalization” enhancement. The sound jumped; it was loud and distorted. I switched the enhancement off – the sound dropped off and didn’t come back. I turned up the volume (with the slider) and down and up and down – and I was hearing Less and less sound from the speakers: “Low Sound Syndrome”: I was hearing what would be expected at setting of 7%. Well, that sucks. (Technical term.)
Based on this experience, I hypothesize that it’s possible to lose one’s sound entirely just by initially adjusting this one enhancement and then losing control over the ensuing ever diminishing returns. I didn’t continue to test this into a theory. It’s a hypothesis. If I had an extra dv7 sitting around, I might sacrifice it on such testing. I gave up right away and went into recovery mode while I still had some sound.
Recovery:
After the Loudness Equalization was turned off,
Recovery Attempts to recover normal sound levels included:
Resetting all Sound to Default settings,
Installing the driver from the webpage (standard load – download, double-click and install), reboot,
“Hard Reset”.
It was finally necessary to force load the IDT HD driver to recover the sound to its normal levels; that is, the driver was Uninstalled and allowed to reinstall at boot. (“Local” install from the Device Manager also works.)
Commentary:
I did not bother with a registry cleaning at this point - it may have made a difference, though it's unlikely since the driver needed to be completely reset by this time. I advocate registry cleaning! Bad things happen to good computers because of a dirty registry. Use your favorite or download CCleaner (free).
Try a Driver Update:
You can always check for Driver updates here – If the driver does update - you may be done with this part. Check the sound and proceed to "Enhancements".
At the Right-Click > Update Driver Software
Audio Driver “Uninstall”
Control Panel -> Device Manager -> Sound, video and game controllers
          Right-Click IDT High Definition Audio CODEC -> Uninstall
You have a choice at this point
If you do not have the means to replace your driver,
THEN do not delete your driver from the computer
OR - If you believe the driver is not working at all,
And / Or you have tried the standard Uninstall/self-install method previously without results,
AND You have the means to REINSTALL that driver from scratch*
Then you may delete the driver -
*Driver Installation From Scratch Requires the following:
You have your IDT HD driver on your computer as a sp*.exe file, for example, in Downloads
Reinstall with Boot:
Shut down the system
Reboot
The driver may install itself at login as the system scans for hardware changes
OR
Reinstall WITHOUT BOOT - Initiate the scan for hardware changes:
Right-Click on the IDT driver , > "Scan for Hardware Changes"
--> Check your sound at this point. It's possible that the driver has in reinstalled itself.
Manual Driver Installation - Comments:
There are a couple of paths used to get the IDT driver onto your system. You can download it from your HP Software and Driver website. You may have been given the path to your IDT driver at the HP ftp softpaq site. The package is downloaded as a sp*.exe file.   You may download the software as often as you need it. Make sure you have the package downloaded before you delete your driver.
Once you have downloaded that package onto your system, the original sp* file will stay intact. As long as you do not delete it, you can reuse it. Once you do install the driver onto your system, an installation directory is created in C:\SWSetup, named the same as the sp* file (without the .exe extension).
In C:\SWSetup\sp* are all the files necessary to reinstall your driver. If you install the software from the sp*.exe file in your Downloads folder, the new installation will ask you whether to overwrite the data in the SWSetup/sp* with the contents of the .exe package – do it. The reinstallation is just unwrapping and redistributing what’s in the .exe file into the same SWSetup/sp folder.
If the "Driver Store" is removed, that is, if the driver package is ever removed from C:\SWSetup, you can reinstall from the sp* file as long you you have it in your Downloads folder - it will recreate that SWSetup/sp* folder.
What about Versions?
Latest is Usually best. If you are concerned AND you think you may not be able to get another a copy of an older driver that is in C:\SWSetup\sp*, make a copy of the folder before uninstalling any driver or making any changes.
Installation from the Original sp* package
Find the sp* file on your system. It will be most likely be located in your “Downloads” folder.
Simple Driver Installation from the 'Saved' installation sp* file:
Close everything that isn’t needed, browsers, games, windows…
Right-Click on the installation package (the sp* file), Select 'Run as Administrator' and start the installation
Answer any questions…and follow the instructions
or...
Installation from the Device Manager
If the driver software is still on the system from a previous installation, it is located in C:\SWSetup
You can tell the Device Manager to access the package on the system:
Control Panel > icons > Device Manager > (Highlight) IDT High Definition Audio CODEC >
                      Right-Click > Update Driver Software > Browse my computer for driver software
                      Browse to C:\SWSetup\sp*
                      Be sure the “Include Subfolders” box is CHECKED
27-Nov-2011
Audio Services Check / Restart
This section is not strictly part of the "Enhancement" procedure. It has been included because it is necessary that these settings be correct so that the sound can function properly. If you are not having sound issues, skip this part...
Check system Services to make sure that your sound related services are running as they should.
Restart each service (except as noted): Right-Click > Restart
Control Panel -> icon -> Administrative Tools -> Services > bottom of page > Standard (optional - makes it easier to column sizes)
Sound services must be showing as
Status = Started
Startup Type = Automatic
Sound Services:
Audio Service
Multimedia Class Scheduler
Windows Audio
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
Power (check only)
RPC (check only)
That’s it.
It’s a matter of tweaking the settings to get results. Do not forget that that Left/Right Speakers setting is turned off in Speakers Configure. It’s not a big deal (assuming this works), but it’s DIFFERENT and it needs to be kept track of.
I hope this helps your sound work better!
Kudos are Earned!
Kind Regards,
Dragon-Fur

Nice extensive research on reseting Beats Audio on the HP laptops.
Just bought the Envy 17t-3000 and I updated all the drivers via HP Support Manager.
BEFORE the update, the Beats Audio worked well..
1. Press the dial and the popup box comes up ~3 secs
2. Volume indicator swirl appeared to show volume level
AFTER the update, something changed the Beats Audio... had to re-install the latest driver from HP website (even after contacting HP Tech support via chat and email several times)...
1. Press the dial and the popup box comes up ~10-12 secs now!
2. Volume indicator swirl DISAPPEARED so volume level indicator is GONE
Sure the sound works but NOW I do NOT know or remember the volume level whenever I listen to music.
You can barely tell on the Windows Speaker icon on Icon bar since 2 sound waves indicate at least 50% sound level but that's it!
I have the following softwares and checked their settings and set them all at 50% and use the Beats Audio dial to control the volume whenever the programs are used:
1. WinAmp
2. VLC player
3. MPC
4. WMP
No matter what I try, it appears that the Beats Audio Volume Control Swirl Indicator is GONE! Worse, there's NO Windows volume control indicator unless leave the Volume Mixer open!
Anyone know how to fix this problem and bring Back the Audio Beats volume indicator??
Thanks!

OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus Make Audio Sounds In the Early AM Hours Recently

My Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus has been making audio sounds usually around 4:30 am lately , but has also done it sometime after midnight also. The sounds will activate somewhere between 2 or 3 times every few minutes to 2 or 3 times in a minute. This will continue for about a half hour. It's been doing it for several weeks now. This is when the printer is not being used, and is a low power state. When I'm trying to sleep. During this time the display screen does not come on and remains dark. Once I got up from bed and touched the screen to activate it to see if there was some kind of message, there was not.
What's causing this to happen and what can I do to stop it. I've had this printer for 2 1/2 years now, and this is a fairly recently problem.

Hi @darrel112
I realize this may be a strange question, no more strange than the sound you are hearing I suppose, I was wondering if you could describe the audio sound for me?
Knowing the type of sound that is occurring may help me to identify the cause. While I wait to hear from you, something to consider is the printers power source, is the printer connected to a wall outlet or a surge protector/ power bar?

Why can't I get any audio sound on my Hi8 video capture in iMovie?

Hi
I have just captured some video clips from my Hi8 Camcorder and exported it to iMovie on my Apple Mac. Unfortunately there is no audio sound on the captured video. Can any one help? I am using Roxio Video Capture USB to capture the video from my camcorder.

That's the problem. The Roxio device captures in a highly compressed, multiplexed (muxed) format that isn't intended for editing. Muxed files won't playback audio without the proper software installed on your system. You could try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the captured files to an editable format, but that means you'll be taking a double hit on quality.
The proper way to capture analog footage for editing is to use a qualified "DV Device" (DV camcorder, converter or VTR) to convert the analog signal into a Firewire signal and use iMovie, FCE or FCP to capture and edit. Or, in your case, you could use a Digital8 camcorder for playback directly via Firewire.
FWIW, this is the Final Cut Studio forum. The iMovie forum is located here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie?view=discussions

Encore Timeline Audio Sound Vanishes from Dynamic Link to PPro CS4

Windows XP Pro SP 3
CS4 Production Suite Premium
Premiere Pro V4.2.1
Encore V4.0.1.048
Problem: Encore Timeline Audio Sound Vanishes from Dynamic Link to PPro CS4
I have several several PPro CS 4 projects each with a couple sequences.
In Encore CS4, I make dynamic links to the sequences using
Adobe Dynamic Link | Import Premiere Pro Sequence ...
In Encore, I create the Timelines for the Sequences from the dynamic links.
In the Encore Timeline for each sequence, each Timeline initially plays the video and audio correctly.
However, should I make any minor edits in Premiere (via edit original in Encore) like changing a title's text and re-rendering the PPro sequence, the Encore Timeline plays the video fine, but there is no audio (the audio track is there, but no audio sound occurs). The Encore dynamic link is untranscoded.
The following do not make the Encore Timeline audio track audible.
Update markers from source.
Clean database button for PPro and Encore.
Deleting the media Cache and Media Cache Files folders.
Deleting the Encore Cache folder.
The only way which seems to fix the audio is to delete the Encore Timeline and generate a new Timeline from the dynamic link. Of course, this means relinking the end actions for the buttons and timelines which is a pain and defeats the purpose of using dynamic links.
I have been using dynamic links without audio problems for quite awhile without a problem. Now this problem appears in many projects. Thanks in advance.

Haven't seen a post from the OP since this one.
I cannot directly answer, but here's some info.
From a variety of users comments, and my limited experience with CS4 and significant experience wiht CS5, there were improvements in CS5.
The number one issue when users find no audio in DL situations is not waiting for conforming. Look at the progress bar and wait till done.
You are more likely to see DL audio problems using files in Premeire that are not as easy for Encore (e.g. mp3).

Constant "Error" Audio Sound when I open Quicktime

Hi,
Every single time I open a .AVI File in Quicktime I get a constant and repeated "Error" audio sound from Windows. There are no pop-up error messages or any other indication of what Quicktime is doing that Windows does not like....except for this constant and repeated "Error" audio sound from my PC.
It is obvious Quicktime is doing something Windows does not like.,...but I have no idea what. Can anyone help clue me iin on what the problem might be?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me crasy...!!
Thank you.
Rich

Have you tried completely uninstalling and re-installing the current version of QuickTime?
You could also see if there's any related error messages in the Event Viewer which might help to pinpoint what the problem is.

Play DVD with audio sound via Airport Express speakers

Is it possible to play my DVD with audio sound via my Airport Express speakers?
I can play music with iTunes trough these speakers, it would be nice if I can hear my DVDs aswell.
iMac intel core duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Not using Front Row.
The real issue here is that audio and video stream at different speeds and it is hard to maintain sync. You know how when you hit play within iTunes it takes a while for the song to start through the speakers? It's the same with the DVD. So you'd need to work an offset into the audio when playing a DVD and it's not an exact science.
You can download VLC player and mess around with the offset, then you'll also need a program like Airfoil to be able to force audio through the airport express.
Good luck!

Let's see if we can get that notification sound off treecastle! Please try going into Settings> Sound> Notifications> select Silent> Apply. This should get rid of that notification.
Thank you,
