Audio start playing unexpectedly

Hi all, this is another strange issue i encountered.
I inserted a video in one of my courses. During the preview
stage (and after i publish to .swf to test locally), everything
played smoothly. But when I uploaded it to the LMS, the audio from
the video clip started playing on the second slide for about 10
secs then it stopped. I couldn't figured out what's wrong
can anyone help?
thanks
JT

Hi Andrew, the video is on slide 6. The audio from the video
starts playing on slide 2 for about 10secs then stop.
How do I set it to not preload? i can't seem to find this
option
thanks

In the middle of a clip, the audio starts playing from another part.... Help?

So, I'm a bit of a technological noob, so I will describe this the best I can. I have a clip (mp4) that runs about 1 hour 30 min long. About 30 minutes into the clip, the audio from the beginning of the clip randomly starts playing, yet the video continues as it should, just the audio randomly swapped itself somehow?
I have not cut or edited the clip in any way, I simply imported it in, and put it on the timeline and no matter what I tried (restarting, clearing cache, reimporting, etc) nothing seems to fix the problem. The weirder part is, if I watch the raw file using something like Windows Media Player, the clip is just fine, no problems at all. So something must be going wrong when it's imported into Adobe Premiere.
Has anyone had this issue or know what may be causing this? I'm at a loss and it's keeping me from continuing a series I'm working on that I need to release.
As I said before, I'm a bit noobish, and this is my first time posting, so please feel free to respond with any additional info you need me to supply, and try to explain things in a noob friendly way, as I may not understand super technical jargon.
Edit: A little bit of info to help possibly... I'm using Windows 7 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS6

Hmmm okay. I've been using PP for 2 years now with the same type of "non-camera media" and never had a problem til now. But since then I've edited hours and hours of similar footage with no problem, so I may just suck it up and use something like Windows Movie Maker to edit the one clip that is messing up. Thanks for the help, and if anyone else has other suggestions, please feel free to post them

Audio starts playing about 1/2 a second after set cursor

Sorry if this was answered elsewhere as I wasn't able to find my exact problem after searching. I'm using AA3 and Win7. The issue is this: wherever I place the cursor on the waveform, I'll hit play & the cursor moves, but I won't hear audio until about 1/2 a second after it starts playing. So to compensate, I'm having to move the cursor further back in order to hear edits, versus being able to instantly hear audio right where I begin playback (like when I had Cool Edit). I can offer more info if necessary. Thanks

Some information about your soundcard and what drivers you are using would help. It sounds as if it could either be a buffer problem or that Windows has grabbed back your soundcard when Audition stopped. Make sure that in Audio Hardware Setup the box for Release ASIO Driver in Background is NOT ticked. Also a good idea to turn off Windows Sounds.

The next screen's audio starts playing when the current screens audio has finished

So I've added audio to a few screens and on the first couple it works fine. I have added a mute button and that's all, I just want the audio to play to the end then stop on each screen. It does that perfectly on the first few screens and then at a certain point, when the audio for that screen has finished, it plays the audio for the next screen, and the next, and so on even though I haven't moved on. I can't work out why it's doing this! Sure someone can explain what I've done wrong. Using Captivate 8.0.1...

I adjusted them on one screen and it worked - you've solved my problem again - Thank you!
Is there a way I can make my audio files load up like this automatically?

Youtube videos freeze, audio keeps playing. As long as I keep moving my cursor, it play ok. What's wrong?

This seems to happen on all Youtube video's I play. I don't know about other videos because I seldom view any others. When the video freeze happens the download bar is always ahead of the play bar so I don't think download is the problem. However, when the freeze happens, the download bar stops moving. When the play bar catches up to the download bar, the audio stops also. If I move my cursor, the video and audio start playing again. As long as I keep my cursor moving, the video plays fine. I am using Firefox 18.0.1. Computer is an HP dv6-1350us with dual processors. OS is Windows 7. I also use Chrome at times and the freeze doesn't happen on Chrome.

hello vearlbible, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - please go trough the troubleshooting steps provided in the following help document by adobe: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071
or as an alternative you could try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) & see if this solves the issue.

When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing

When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing, and I can't figure out why, nor how to stop this behavior. When I click in the upper right corner of my screen where it says "Finder", it shows the Finder as the only application running, and yet SOMETHING must be causing the CD to play. If it is an Extension that is being loaded, is it possible to terminate the Extensions one by one without restarting the computer to see which one is playing the CD?
Is the OS9.1 operating system supposed to automatically play audio CD's when they are inserted into the iMac? Or could it be an Extension that is doing it?And if so, why is no means provided to actually CONTROL the playing of the CD (such as a control panel with PLAY, STOP, SKIP, etc. buttons)?
On a PC, I can press Control/Alt/Delete to bring up the "Task List" that will show me ALL applications and processes currently running, and then terminate apps and processes one by one without having to restart the computer to see which one is playing the CD. Is there an equivalent way to display this information on an iMac that will show me which application or process or extension might be causing the audio CD to play, and allow me to terminate them one by one without restarting the computer until I can see which one is the "problem"?

Hi, Jerry -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
Finder uses QuickTime in the background to do that, hence no specific app is shown in the Application menu (the far right item in the main menu bar) in addition to Finder.
To unset automatic playing of CDs (and DVDs) -
Open the QuickTime Settings control panel (Apple menu > Control Panels > QuickTime Settings).
In that control panel, select AutoPlay from the pulldown menu in the control panel. Uncheck both the items shown in the new window. Close the control panel.
No restart should be needed in order to make the change effective.
Doing this will also guard against the (now ancient) AutoPlay virus, which could still be lurking somewhere on the net.

How can I control whether or not an audio files plays when a slide starts?

I am putting together a course and have a welcome audio that plays automatically when the user begins the course. Since that slide has a list of the modules that will be in the course, I would also like to use it as one navigation option - click the "Menu" link on any slide and return to this page.
The problem: Every time the page is hit the audio plays.
The question: How can I set the audio so it only plays the first time the page is entered but not again?
I have created a variable called "PlayWelcomeAudio" and set it to "Y" initially, then have an Advanced Action script that changes the variable to "N" when it is clicked (progress through the course is linear so there is only one option available to the user at this point. Clicking that link opens the next page and sets "PlayWelcomeAudio" to "N".
I can see that the variable has been set correctly (when I start it is "Y" and when I come back it is "N") but I'm not seeing anyplace where I can set the audio file so it doesn't play.
I tried setting cpCmndMute to "1" but that didn't work because it is apparently a global setting and I didn't get any audio playing anywhere after that.
I'm not looking to pause the timeline or anything like that. I just want the audio to play the first time but not the second and subsequent times that page is hit.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks.
Michael

Attach your welcome audio to an object that is not seen (e.g. a highlight box set to 0%) and use your Advanced Actions and variables to HIDE this object ON SLIDE ENTER if the user returns to the same Menu slide at a later point in the course module.
This should mean that the first time the user gets to that slide, the audio will play. But all subsequent times they return to that slide, the object will be immediately hidden on entering the slide, which will mean that the audion does not play and all the user sees are the menu options.
Your alternate strategy would be to have two slides that look almost the same. The first one has the audio, and the second one doesn't. Your TOC item for Menu, and any other links in the project that point to the Menu, would go to the second slide without audio. The user will be none the wiser as long as you work out the navigation.

Audio in .pdf needing multiple clicks to start playing ...

I am building a Rich Media eBook in pdf format for teaching. I have created a single page 'test-bed' with a couple of audio files (.mp3) and a couple of video files (.flv) (one each embedded and linked). The media does play in Acrobat Reader 9, but the audio files will not play when their control icon is first clicked. The player pops up properly, with the play icon appearing as 'pause' as it normally would if the audio were playing. But it is not. Clicking once more turns it to 'play', and then clicking once more starts the audio playing.
Any advice on why this may be happening, and how I can fix it?
The test file, which is here, was created in InDesign, and exported as pdf, with the audio and video then added by Acrobat 9 Pro. (Mac OS 10.5.8 / CS4)
Thanks for any advice ...

You're trying to play 'legacy' media which was depreciated a number of years ago for security reasons. It relies on some external player understanding how to open the file type, but Acrobat/Reader can only send the file across and hope that something will react, it cannot help you find the codecs you need.

I've installed Flip4Mac WMV in Lion and when I try to listen to audio in some sites, it starts playing and after about 0.5 seconds it starts playing again. So, I have the same thing playing with a delay... What is happening and how to fix it?

Use Flash Media Server to stream the files.......set up a timer and have all three of them play at once....and have a button switch the streams depending upon which stream you want to play.....and wallah......
you can also capture the stream.time from the video playing and resume from that point on the other videos as well....havent done this theoretically so I dont know how smooth the transistion between streams will be....but it can be done....
plus u may have to use double buffering techniques to make sure it starts up right away......

Getting audio dropouts when a song starts playing.....but not all the time

I have a 80GB Ipod. Use it mostly in my truck/car (have a IPOD interface in each). Usually use the shuffle mode for playing songs. It seems that as of a couple days ago I will get a audio drop out right after a song starts playing (one or two seconds into the song). Only lasts for a second or so but it does not happen on every song....there has not been a pattern that I can see (not every other song ot every thitrd song....just random..........) But it is always in the same place in the song......always one or two seconds after the song starts playing. Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you fix it? Thanks

Audio only plays when started from the beginning?

Hi! I'm fairly new to flash, i'd consider myself a beginner, but recently i've been tasked with making an animation for someone! There is a song playing in the animation, it's a wav and it's on its own layer. There are also drawings i imported in too.
My problem is, i want to be able to sync up the little drawings to the words of the song, but the audio only plays when i start at 0 on the timeline. If i were to start at let's say frame 24, it won't play. Does anyone know how to fix this? This commission needs to be finished by Wednesday and it's a S L O W process, having to start it over only to hear like one or two words later on

change the sync property (in the properties panel after clicking the keyframe where your sound starts) from event to stream. retest.

When I'm browsing the internet, my macbook randomly starts playing the audio of video's I've watched before.

It's happened at least three times now, I'll just be browsing through my regular websites, and then suddenly through my headphones I'll hear the audio of a video I watched somewhat recently, (like 1-3 days). It happened today, I was scrolling through some website, and then it just started playing the "Trolololol" song. I only had that one tab open, and there were no other programs that could have possibly done it. I can't help but think there's a virus, or somebody toying around with me. HELP!

Hi..
Doubt it's a virus...
If you are using Safari, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/LibrarySafari
Click Go
Move these files from the Safari folder to the Trash.
LastSession.plist
History.plist
Downloads.plist
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

IPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.

iPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast. What can be done?

Some other iPods (that are not shuffles) have an onboard setting to change the playback speed for some types of iTunes media, such as audiobooks. But a shuffle has no screen, to change such settings.
First, do this to reset the shuffle, if you have not already
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. The shuffle will be like it was when new, so this problem should be fixed.

Itunes 10.5.2 is running so slowly - it takes over 1 second for a track to start and whenever i move to a different position in the song using seek, it takes over 1 second for the audio to start playing

Anyone having problems with iTunes 10.5.2?
I'm having long times to start a track and then over 1 second to start playing again whenever I skip to another part of the track.

Refer this article to reset Winsock to it's default. Your PCTools may have inserted LSP.

After reset and restarting windows, you may get a prompt to remap LSP, click no.
