Audio stutters with WRT54G v7.00.1

Hi all,
Last week I installed the Linksys WRT54G V.7 router. Since then, my audio stutters every 30 sec/minute . Music and movies just freeze for a second, than continue, 'till it happens again. When I disconnect from the router, everything works fine.
My router is also connected to a Xbox 360 (wired) and a Nintendo Wii (wireless, wifi). I've checked the security settings with the router's webutility, I use WPA2 AES, Beacon Interval: 50, Fragmentation Threshold: 2306, RTS Threshold: 2307.
I've tried for days, but nothing works. I have a Sound Blaster Live Value soundcard. Could anyone PLEASE help me?? I'm getting really annoyed. Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
Pater

Oh really? I forgot to mention. The computer having the audio problem has a wired connection with the router. Could it be affected by the wireless antenna's?
But I could try it. Won't this have a negative effect on my wireless connections (Nintendo Wii, Notebook)? Does it matter wether it's the left or right antenna?
I'm not at home at the moment, but tomorrow night I'll try your suggestion. I'll let you know, ok?
Thanks in advance.

Audio stuttering problems with certain exported MP4 files

I'm currently running Captivate 6.1.0.319 on my old and decrepit Pentium 4 machine that has 4GB of RAM and is running Windows 7 SP1. I'm developing an online training course on RoboHelp 10 for Udemy, and they require all lecture files to be in MP4 format. Unfortunately, some of the MP4 files I generate from Captivate have audio stuttering starting a few seconds into the generated video and nothing I try fixes the problem.
All the videos are being recorded with video dimensions of 1360 x 978 pixels. I import the .cptc file I recorded into the .cptx file, and then I import an MP4 audio file into the .cptx file. When I finish editing the .cptx file, I publish it to an MP4 file using the highest video settings and the highest variable bitrate audio settings.
I have tried the following to try to fix the problem:
Turned off SWF compression.
Created a new .cptx file and copied the slide from the problem .cptx file into the new one, and published that new .cptx file.
Disabled all software operating in the foreground and the background.
Tried generating the MP4 file on my laptop; the laptop runs the same version of Captivate on Windows 8.
As I said, Captivate generates some MP4 files perfectly without any stuttering, and others have the stuttering problem. If this problem sounds familiar, it's because I wrote a couple of messages about this a few months ago and despite some good suggestions, I wasn't able to solve the problem. I've spent my time during the past few months trying to find another program that will convert SWF files to one of the formats Udemy supports -- MP4, MOV, or FLV -- without success. Captivate exports to SWF and HTML5 format files without any trouble at all. But MP4 generation is spotty and I need to get this resolved so I can get this project off my plate and start making money off it.
If you have any further questions, please let me know. I look forward to hearing your suggestions.
Thanks,
Eric Butow

Hi,
I am having the same issue and cannot figure out what is causing it, as it occurs randomly - but fairly frequently - when I publish to mp4. And it is not tied to the project - seems to be something happening during the publishing. The issue might occur one time when pubishing a project and if republished again it may or may not occur again. I would be very interested in finding exactly what is causing this and any step that are tested and proven for getting away from the problem.

Airplay audio dropouts, stuttering with Mavericks

I have intermittent audio dropouts with Airplay to an Airport Express and/or a Pioneer speaker with Mavericks. Sometimes these are brief, sometimes the music quits for seconds, sometimes it just sounds like crap. And sometimes it works perfectly. Apple closed a bug report I submitted on this, claiming it was my network. I don't buy that, since my wifi network always tests at above 20 mbps upload, and Airplay only needs 1 mbps for one device, 2 mbps for two.
Are others experiencing these sorts of problems?
Note that this is **not** Airplay video streaming, just audio. And I'm not using Mountain Lion like my profile says LOL.

Use Apple's Wireless Diagnostics as a tool to examine your wireless environment.
You can determine for yourself whether wireless interference is likely to be a causal factor preventing reliable music streaming. To do that, hold an option key while you click your Mac's Wi-Fi icon, and choose Open Wireless Diagnostics...
The following authentication dialog will appear:
Authenticate with your Admin password, then click the Continue button in the following:
The network analysis and diagnostic tests will take several minutes to complete:
When it completes, if your wireless network is functioning properly the following will result:
If something is amiss, supposedly the results will be different and you will be presented with helpful information.
Assuming your connection is "working as expected" select Continue to summary and click Continue:
Ignore the pre-populated text field, which is provided as a place for you to type in helpful information should Apple ask for it in the course of obtaining technical assistance from them. Apple has no way of knowing where your router is located in your home, and certainly doesn't know if you even have an upstairs bedroom closet.
Click Continue.
The next step will also take a few minutes:
When it finishes, you will be presented with a summary that may or may not be useful to you. Let me know if it is.
The WirelessDiagnostics-xxx.tar.gz file deposited on your Desktop can be dragged to the Trash, or you may wish expand it and examine its contents. It's up to you.

IDT HD Audio stuttering 3d apps/games/tf2 - Windows 7 x64 - Pavilion dv7-4113tx

As per the rules I need to state:
I am a HP employee, my views/opinions/etc are my own and do not represent those of HP.
This is cross-posted from freezes/lockups.
I would file some sort of bug report - but I wouldn't know where to start, I don't work in an area that has anything to do with manufacturing HP products; and this is my free time now and I don't have intranet access .
I recently picked up a HP Pavilion dv7-4113tx Entertainment Notebook PC [ XV780PA ] for my personal use and overall it's been pretty good. It comes with windows 7 Home Premium x64 bit.
there is however an issue that I must bring up in regard to gaming, or i would assume any intensive 3d application, most notably Valve games, my test of choice is Team Fortress 2.
The game will work fine in native resolution - I get around 100-120fps but about every 30 seconds - 2 minutes, there is a audio/video stutter (by stutter, it will repeat the last .5 seconds of audio about 3-4 times in a loop while the screen will freeze on where the first audio stutter started), which will cause the game to 'freeze' for approximately 2 seconds and then continue where you left off.
Team fortress 2 is an incredibly time critical multiplayer online game, and this delay essentially means my e-death on multiple occasions.
I initially thought it was the graphics card, or the drivers - I upgraded the drivers to the latest on the ATI site, that increased my fps, but the stuttering was still there. After searching around on the internet a bit, i found a suggestion to disable the audio driver (device manager lists it as - IDT High Definition Audio CODEC) as a test - so I did so.
The game purrs like a kitten - absolutely no stuttering. my score went up immediately
So, my next step was to try and get some Updated Drivers for the IDT Audio device (note, i cannot find a model name anywhere in the hp specs - or on the internet really) - I found out IDT themselves cannot release drivers, that these can only be obtained through OEMs.
which brings me to here.
now - the closest I have found to the drivers I required are here: IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver for Microsoft Windows 7
Note: - it says on the page that they are 32 bit drivers - but I've found they work with the 64 bit version of windows.
these worked a little better - it fixed another annoying issue - the fact if you use the volume controls in a fullscreen application that it will switch back to the desktop to display the on screen slider bar of the volume going down (which was arguably redundant as windows 7 displays the speaker volume in the bottom right hand corner) - and it just turns the audio down as intended.
however - the stuttering is still very noticeably present .
I then tried to use the HP Support assistant to run automated diagnostics and troubleshoot... which then downloaded the old drivers that gave me that fullscreen volume control issue back again - so i assume the original drivers.
So I installed the other drivers again.
My next test will be to use an external USB or firewire soundcard to see if this will allow me have games with sound.
Can an appropriate agent at HP please address this concern and notify when this bug will be fixed - IDT says they work with OEM's to fix issues regularly on the IDT link above.
I believe this is such an issue that will likely require a bug fix.

Video/audio Stuttering on Macbook 13

Hi All
I have a mid 2007 Macbook 13 running OS X Lion 10.7.4. all up to date. Initially I had 4G's of ram ( I know it only reads 3 ) now I have it running on only 2.
Problem is video/audio stuttering when running movies. mostly netflix and or connected to a flat screen tv. on wireless or wired connection. but it also happens just running youtube videos or videos that I have on the system mostly in .AVI format. I could be running movies with VLC or quicktime and same ting. I've tried turning every running program off. like firewall, little snitch, sophos AV, etc. after turning them all off I do a restart. I have done permssion repair, checked the disk, run the daily scripts, even downgraded to SL to see if Lion was too much for the system and nothing. of of the 4G's of ram that I have. I swapped them to see if maybe one or 2 of them ware bad. when I install the operating system, I do a clean install. delete partition, format, the whole thing and bring it up to date. not all at one time. disk permissions repaired after each big updated. almost half the time the videos will run ok and than it starts stuttering. when is doing it. not even the mouse responds in those few seconds. is like something is grabbing all the system memory for a few seconds at a time. it has gotten to the point that the system completly frezzes and I get that black translusent window that says the system needs to be restarted.
I have about 40% free HD space.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The behavior you mention is typical of MacBooks with the GMA 950 video chipset and 64MB VRAM.
The best solution I've found is to quickly pause the video and let the video load completely before watching, IF the website allows it and will preload the content. Not all of them do. Some sites automatically buffer before they begin playing.
Watch in a window rather than full-screen.
Watch content on your MacBook screen rather than a HDTV.
The Safari Extension "ClickToFlash" lets you choose whether to load Flash content at all. It also allows 'preferring' H264/HTML5 web video content when available, and seems to be a bit better than simply defaulting to Flash content for every website.
I have a mid-2007 MacBook 2,1 with 4/3GB RAM. It is the very oldest model capable of supporting Lion. After reading of performance issues with these older systems in these forums, I chose to remain on Snow Leopard rather than upgrading to Lion. Snow Leopard runs most things I do very well in 3GB. Lion really seems to need 4GB and would like 8GB, from what I read here.
You don't mention how fast your internet connection is. A faster internet connection MIGHT help some. A wired Ethernet connection MIGHT offer a bit more throughput than WiFi. Worth trying out, especially if you have a friend with a faster connection where you can try before you pay to upgrade.
Ultimately we're talking about 5-year-old computers. That's "ancient" in computer life cycles, and the best solution (not most cost-effective) is a new(er) Mac. It's not a problem unique to Mac. Old Windows XP systems lack the performance of new hardware running 64-bit Windows 7.
New or recent Refurbs with 4GB or more RAM, faster video chipset, more VRAM, faster clock-speed, Intel "Sandy Bridge" (or "Ivy Bridge" likely coming soon) dual-core or quad-core processor, and, yes, a hefty pricetag to match. Anything else is at best a temporary measure to buy a bit of time (a year, maybe?) until you can purchase a new(er) faster better Mac.

Strange "Audio Stutters" in All Exports

Hello,
What I can only describe as "audio stutters" occur at seemingly random times in my Premiere Pro exports created with Media Encoder. They are very brief but noticeable intrusions that sound like glitches.
All audio sounds perfectly normal in Premiere; there are no problems on the timeline. I have tried the following troubleshooting steps:
Restarting the computer
Restarting the software
Cleaning Premiere's cache through the preferences panel
Changing the Renderer to "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" in Media Encoder
Unchecking "Enable Parallel Encoding" in Media Encoder
These "stutters" occur in all exports; I have experimented with different projects stored on different drives, as well as with different formats (ie., H264 and Quicktime) and audio codecs (ie., AAC and MPEG).
The only way I have found to create an export WITHOUT "stutters" is by sending a sequence to Audition, creating a mixdown file, importing this file into Premiere, using it to replace the original audio, and then sending this single-audio-track sequence to Media Encoder.
I would love to be able to export from Premiere without having to run my audio through Audition. Any and all leads are welcome!
For your reference, I am running Premiere Pro CC on Windows 8.1, with a 3.60 GHz processor and 16 GB of RAM. I have 11 GB available for Adobe products. For what it's worth, I know for certain that I did not experience this problem prior to the 7.2 updates.
Thanks in advance!

Clearing the Cache is best done outside of PP using Windows Explorer. You can get the location of those files under Edit>Preferences>Media...
(On a side note, this Cache cleaning could use some improvement. Please add your vote. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1369263?tstart=60)
If that changes nothing, it would be helpful if you could upload a file somewhere for us to hear the issue.

Audio stutters in slideshow

Hello All,
I am a newbie with encore, trying to put together a slideshow with audio and subtitles. I used VBR mp3 encoded using iTunes. I rendered this slideshow and checked the preview to find that the audio stutters.
Any idea if encore doesn't like VBR mp3?
BTW, I will be glad if someone could explain what encore did by 'rendering'?
Thanks

In fact, I have most of the collection in VBR mp3 format only but I can still make AIFF files out of the CDs those are with me (and most of the collection is back home with parents)
Is there any way around to work with mp3 files like exporting to wav and using them etc? I am sure there will be a quality loss but is such thing possible?

Windows 8.1 Audio Stuttering

Since upgrading to 8.1 my computer's audio has been stuttering. For instance whenever I play music either on windows media player or on youtube etc, when doing an activity while its playing, the audio stutters.
Heres my specs:
Motherboard: Asus P8Z68-V lx
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40 GHz 3.40 GHz
RAM: 4.00 GB
System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64 based processor
If more information is needed I can send the dxdiag file.

Hi,
Faced the same problem on updating my Dell XT2 from windows 7 64 Bit to Windows 8.1. As windows automatically installed its default HD audio drivers, I did not bother to use the actual chipset drivers that came along with the XT2. The audio used to stutter
very badly, especially when on Power Saver mode / Balanced mode and some other process would start. The stuttering reduced when I shifted to the High performance mode, but still took place randomly.
Just went to the dell site, downloaded the IDT drivers (A16) for windows 7 6 bit, and installed it in the compatibility mode. Hey presto, no stutter, even in the power saver mode!!!!
Enjoying my music. The issue is with the windows default drivers and the priority assigned to the task in the low power consumption modes. Try Installing the original drivers that came with the machine. Should resolve the issue

Movie audio stuttering

Since ITUNES last software update, Quicktime Movies (taken from my didital camera) which I convert to play on my ipod, play with the audio "stuttering". It is not an ipod problem, since the converted file stutters even when I play it back on my PC. I have some Quicktime files which I had conerted BEFORE the last update, and, they still play OK. However, If I convert them again with the latest software, the resulting file will stutter on playback.
I do see that the older converted files have a "BIT RATE" of 128 kbps while the most recently convert files have a bit rate of 94 kbps. This may be the problem....does anyone know how to set the bite rate for file conversion in Quick Time??

It is my experience that the DVD will also have the audio stuttering. I've had several projects with the same issue. It's frustrating. There is a thread that addresses the audio stutterning problem. I was not able to work around the problem on a video that I created. I will enclose the link:

IChatAV with WRT54GS

I am having an odd difficulty. I am not able to connect with another user using iChat AV (audio and video, text ok) if the user on the other end has a linksys router. Previously, I was able to connect to user when user had D-Link. Both ends have the WRT54GS. If either of us bypass the router and go directly into the cable modem, it will connect successfully. I have done the following: Disabled firewall, tried port forwarding on ports 4099, 5190 and 5193 for both protocols. When that didnt work I gave both sides of the connection a manual ip address and enabled DMZ. I would have thought that this would work, but it did not. In viewing the logs, the error code is -8, which from what I have read is a port issue. I am a Mac Technical Support person, however, routers are not my specialty. Thanks for any help you all out there can give.

I have a similar problem (and also posted to the Apple discussion area). Basically, I can iChat with my brother in Washington DC and my sister-in-law in Los Angeles any time I want (including 3-way audio/video), and I can iChat with my Dad, where-ever he is located (he travels a lot). But, for the last several weeks he has been located in Hawaii behind a WRT54G (L version I believe and w/latest firmware) router and we are not able to audio or video chat. My siblings are using either Airport Base Stations or Airport Express based connections. I have a WRT54GS (w/latest firmware). We've both tried numerious hardware resets, iChat preference resets, etc, but are not able to connect via video or audio. We get the dreaded Error -8 in iChat. However, my dad can talk to both my brother and sister-in-law, just like I can. The only thing I can think of is that there is a problem in how iChat connections interact when both ends of the connection are using a WRT54Gx. Just for laughs we both downloaded the beta version of Skype and ARE able to audio/video with each other using it! I've already tried unchecking the "block anonymous internet/WAN requests" option at both ends but that did not help. This is really strange, and I'd sure appreciate any help we can get. OBTW, I've also tried the using the DMZ option at both ends to try and eliminate any port forwarding issues. I am going to have him take his laptop to some local coffee shop that has "free" connectivity to see if iChat works from there. If it does it will certianly point to a router based issue.

Audio Stuttering When Importing Video

Hey guys, quick question.
I am currently working on a project that was given to me in the form of one Mini-DV tape. I'm trying to capture the footage into Premiere CS3, however, both as I'm capturing and while I'm watching the captured footage, there is a ton of audio stuttering, rendering the clips worthless.
I'm capturing using a Canon Ultura A mini-dv cam. When I listen to the audio coming from the camera's speakers, it's perfect. Only on the computer do I have issues with it.
My computer's speed should not be a problem either, I'm running premiere on this:
Intel Core2Duo E6600 @ 2.4
2 GB DDR2-800 ram
MSI P6N Platinum Motherboard (This is where the firewire port is located)
Nvidia 8800 GTX Graphics card
Creative X-fi Soundcard.
Any ideas on potential fixes?

Interesting, I will have to try and find another firewire cable to see if that fixes the problem.
Any other capture programs you guys could recommend for me to check out?

Experiencing lots of audio stutters / choppy playback

With Adobe Flash Player in Youtube I am experiencing lots of audio stutters / choppy playback. The problem started happening only recently and seems to be getting worse. I am running Flash Player 11.2.202.208 in Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP (SP3) with a pentium 4. I cleared my internet history / cookies. I did a disk clean up and defrag. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player, and also turning off hardware acceleration in Flash Player. What else can I do?
Thanks.

Hi Daniel,
I think the best approach at this point would be to gather system information and open a new bug report at bugbase.adobe.com. Could you take a look at the following FAQ and gather the info needed and open a new bug report? Once opened, please post back here with the bug URL.
How do I troubleshoot and report problems with Flash Player Video?

ALL Flash Audio Stuttering: YouTube, Pandora, etc

Within the last few days, something must have updated that is causing ALL my Flash Player streams to stutter miserably while playing in either Chrome or Safari. This inludes sites like YouTube, Pandora, Grooveshark, Spotify, etc.
I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.8.5 on a MacBook Air 1.3Ghz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
Adobe Flash version is the latest version.
The stutter is an infrequent clicking that sounds like my speakers are being destroyed. Strictly a Flash problem because all local music and non-flash players play audio perfectly.
Please help or participate if you're having a similiar problem.
Best,
MM

Hello,
I use:
- a MacBook medio 2009
- OSX Mavericks (10.9.1)
- Latest Google Chrome version 33.0.1750.117
- Latest version of Flash Player at the moment (12.0.0.70)
I did the following in Chrome to get around the problem (in chrome://plugins/):
If I remember good, I've had the audio stuttering problem about half a year, a year, something like that. I'm not using my MacBook daily but when I played some music for example with YouTube , It annoyed me a lot that the music stuttered when I opened a new tab in Chrome or when I was typing when I Googled something. Also when loading a page or clicking a link the stuttering occured.
I tested If the problem occured when my laptop was plugged or unplugged but that didn't alter the behaviour.
I guess the problem just occures when there are two or more flash-plugin entries in the Chrome plug-in tab enabled. Why would you need two Flash Players to play a video or audio etc. anyway? I guess it's just some conflict between the two plug-ins but I'm just a simple guy that does a wild guess.
I hope you can do something with this info
cheers

Audio stuttering in all browsers

I am having a constant issue with audio stuttering when playing videos, which has persisted for a couple of weeks now. This occurs in Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer.
I have tried downgrading to previous versions of Flash (including both 10.3 and a previous 11.X version), and (unless I am not doing this correctly) this has not fixed the issue.
I have even attempted to solve the problem by resetting Firefox, and then upgrading to the latest 15.0 beta, but this did not work as well.
Is there anything else I can do to resolve this issue, or is there something more fundamental broken with my machine? (I ask this as I have had problems with both Windows Update and a virus recently, and before these issues I did not have any problems with Flash playback.)
I am running Windows 7 on a Lenevo G570 laptop. I am currently using the latest version of Flash (11.3.300.268), and before I upgraded to the Firefox 15.0 beta I was using Firefox 14.1. (I believe that both Chrome and Internet Explorer are up to date, but I predominantly don't use these browsers.)

Audio stuttering in podcast app, IPod 6th gen.

Audio stuttering in podcast app, IPod 6th gen. I don't know what triggers it, other audio is fine- only podcasts. Set on 1x speed. Affects all podcasts (not a media problem).
I can't see any setting that could be affecting it.

Just tried that and did not work. Also I do understand and have made podcast lists in the app. The problem for me is that when done with the podcasts I can't just reach down and get my Ipod unless my truck is not moving. Think safety of everyone on the roads.
