Broken Sound

Hi guys,
I'm having a problem and I don't know what to do. I'm the Network Admin for The Five Star Institute, and we have some online classes that we host on Moodle and run through a flash player. The same course has been offered for Three years and has NEVER had an audio issue. We recently hired a new employee and he's got to take the course as part of his job, the slides work, but the audio doesn't. I know his audio works on other slides and other files but not this particular one and I'm not sure what to do. Because it was brought to me, I started trouble shooting but I can't hear the audio and neither can one of the other people that I asked to take a look. All of the computers affected have the latest update to flash. Can anyone give me any advice here?

TS1574 My apple macbook pro retina 15'' ME664 has problems with sound.Either there will be no sound at all or at startup there il be very scary and broken sound and afterwards still there would be no sound.Secondly , it does not start in one shot.

My apple macbook pro retina 15'' ME664 has problems with sound.Either there will be no sound at all or at startup there il be very scary and broken sound and afterwards still there would be no sound.Secondly , it does not start in one shot.atleast 2 to 3 times pressing power button for longer time starts it up and afterwards still there will be no sound. Please help

This morning i was not able to hear sound on my recently purchased macbookpro retina 15 inch model.My attempts to resolve this issue by going to system preferences and removing the mute box that was ticked as active. i had downloaded much earlier a mac version of logmein app and noticed that in the sound box noted above that there was a bar indicating that the default was now to logmein. i had never used this app. Why it started today, i have no idea. I moved the logmein application to trash and deleted the app , however it did not remove the default option which still blocked the sound.
Going to a macforum gave the tha anser that to remove the logmein app, it first had to be reinstalled a nd them use the uninstaller option ftrom the dropdown menu. for now that has resolved the failure to allow sound oputput.

Equium-A100-147 - broken sound and video

Hi everyone,
I have the Equium A100-147, Its been working fine for last couple of year.
But in the last few weeks has get problem in sound and video (broken sound and video).
The sound is breaking and sometimes uable to listen + video breaking and so much delay due to its get so slow with so much sound distorsion etc..
This remains after new installation (format HDD) of Wind XP unable to fix even installed new drivers.
The Device Manager shows all drivers including audio and video working ok, d'nt know what's problem please help me.
Thanks.

Hi
Something like that can happen during high HDD activity this means that the reading/writing process could affect the sound/video playback
But usually this should not take long time
At the other hand this can happen because of higher temperature
High temperature can affect the CPU and GPU performance
I think you have used this notebook for couple of month without any troubles in my opinion you should check if cooling modules and fans are clogged and could remove the dust and debris from cooling modules use compressed air spray this helps p get rid of dust
Maybe then the notebook will run much better

Compaq CQ-61-400so Broken sound chip?

Hello Dear Hp Team.
I would prefer being called Mutt because of security reasons.
I own an Compaq Presario cq61-400so
and i tried to fix my Broken usb port on the right side of the machine.
I accidently touched the motherboard metal and a part of the usb port
it resulted in a spark and i stopped from that point.
It seems now that i burned down the soundchip
The pc shows that its connected but i don't get sound.
the drivers ARE installed! I use an original copy of windows 7 which came on the recovery drive
I hope that i don't have to buy an new motherboard
and does the warranty still count?
i don't think so
Thanks if you can help.

Windows 10 Update - Broken sound and resolution

I just updated to whatever the most recent version is, 17/02/2015, and sound no longer works. If I plug in my headset, I can get sound fine, but without it, it doesn't detect the output device, my screen.
Also, at the sign in screen, my resolution seemed fine, but after I logged in my resolution changed to something 'incorrect' and then gave my only 2 options to choose from, both of which were not my original.
I don't know if it would help to know I use a TV screen as my monitor.
Is the place to go for help, I haven't really looked at what the foum is for. xD

Spoke with HP Australia this morning. Was asked tobe patient as they were still working on releasing drivers to supprt Windows 10. Maybe in a day or so more drivers will be available on the HP web site to suit, including the necessary touch screen / rotation drivers etc.

Broken sound card, Can i install a pci card and get sound

I fried my internal sound card plugging up my mixer through my headphone jack. I have a mirror door, dual 1 ghz prossesors. Can i just install a m-audio pci card and get my sound back. i hope so. thanks.

The answer is yes, though there seems to be very few Mac compatible sound cards. This is probably because Macs always came with sound built in. The exceptions are the Xserve which have no sound section. I have a dual 1.33GHz G4 Xserve that I have fitted with a M-Audio Audiophile 192 PCI card. This works well but is expensive new (I got mine used). My only complaint (as a general purpose sound card) you have to use the M-Audio app to change the volume - the normal volume controls don't work.
MUCH cheaper is the USB sound card option. I also have a Griffin iMic on my work Mac and this is plugged into my keyboard usb slot. That means I can conveniently plug my headphones in with just a short cord. Works great, sounds great, and works with the standard volume controls.

Broken Sound Blaster WoW headset

Well, I'm one of several it seems whom also have a broken earcup piece on my WoW headset, I've had no response from customer support in the 24 hours they said it would take to get in touch with me, and I would appreciate a response of some kind. Send me a private message or heck even email me directly, don't really care, just want to get this issue resolved, or alternati'vely I will never buy a product with the creative branding ever again.

Hi,
Sorry about that, the office is closed during the hoildays and weekends. Let me find out what's going on and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Why sped up audio sounds broken?

I have a video clip speeded up 300% with audio option preserve pitch. The audio sounds broken: sound, no sound, sound, no sound... In fact it sounds like scrubbing the time line.
I'm sure if I export the audio and speed it up in audition it would be a lot smoother. But that is a lot of steps to go through.
Is there a way to make this work better?

Thanks, Tom & Pierre. Based on your feedback - I decided to start over with a new project. I made sure the auto correction was turned off for audio and I still experienced the same problem. I then manually checked the audio settings to ensure nothing was checked for Loudness, Background Noise Removal, and Hum Removal. Unfortunately, it is STILL manipulating the audio quality. Tried again with both iphone and cannon camcorder with similar results. Now, I'm wondering if I have a hardware problem with RAM or if I should just reinstall FCP X. From everything you guys say, this is not normal - so I think something is broken. I'll post an update if this fixes it. If anyone else has ideas, I'm open to them.

"Dirty" sound after Kernel update. [SOLVED]

First of all my sound have always been "dirty" on Linux, like if the speakers/headphones where broken. However, earlier today I configured my sound for the first time on Arch and had a terrific sound! Perfect and clear. However, after I updated, my sound configuration was messed up and now, after re-configuring it, it has this "broken" sound again. Anything I can do about it?
/Richard

So I won't have to re-configure the sound again if I get kernel -8? Like 5 minutes after I got kernel -7 I saw there was a new update but with my recent problem with kernel -7 kept me from updating. My sound works almost perfectly it's just that there's this tiny buzzing sound in the background all the time.

No Sound after clean installation of windows 7 from Vista

I had a problem with vista on my Hp dv6809wm laptop. My sound driver kept deleting itself and when I would do a system recovery it suddely worked again, but only for a short while. Eventually it stopped working entirely. Then my next step was an HP driver recovery, which also worked a couple times but then stopped. After a couple weeks I decided to purchase Windows 7 through my school and do a "clean" installation to wipe out everything and start fresh. Well when I finally got done, my sound still doesnt work, and im still getting the red x over the sound icon, I have no sound driver. HP support has no sound drivers for my computer for windows 7 or HP, only 3 for vista, I have tried them all and I get different error messages each time, usually saying driver not found (isnt that the point of downloading it?) or it will say cannot find media something. I have no idea what to do. Please help

There is posibilily for hardware problem, broken sound chip in particular.
Backup all of your data and try HP system recovery, choose factory installed setting.
It will restored all software and drivers as "new" condition.
If it does not fix the sound problem, 100% you have hardware problem.
Installing Win7 wont fix it.

Need a miracle here - timeline sound gone bad

Yes I'm hoping and praying that someone can work a miracle here. I know I'm not the first person to have an iMovie problem destroy a few weeks work but this is a really crucial project that I have to hand in first thing tomorrow morning. Bad consequences if I don't. Anyway sorry to bore you with that stuff now this is what has suddenly happened.
I was minutes, yes minutes away from finishing this 18 minute project when suddenly the sound in the timeline went all distorted and choppy. I'm not sure what I did to bring it on but I immediately closed the project without saving in the hope that whatever bad stuff I'd picked up would not be there when re-opening..
I'm afraid not! Seems to be staying with the project after shut-downs and restarts.
The sound when you play a clip from the clips pane is perfect but down in the timeline, whether it's the sound that accompanies a clip or extracted sound on one of the soundtracks or even imported CD music.... all sound very poor now. It's distorted and a bit choppy too. It's that sound you get when you turn a poor quality radio or amp up full and it overdrives itself. I tried dragging a new clip from the clips pane down into the timeline and its sound was immediately affected. Drag it back up tp the clips pane and its ok again.
Another strange thing is that I can't help but thing that the sound is slower. How can that be possible when the vision looks normal. Very weird. It may have introduced a sync problem too. By the way the saved quicktime movie is also distorted.
Hope you're still reading! Hope someone can help. Waiting with crossed fingers.

Ok, hold the phone everyone! I knew I'd end up looking silly when I got so dramatic.
I went back and deleted the last clips, sound extractions, etc that I did before I shut down and low and behold, for some reason whatever I did there at the end of the timeline affected everything else before it and also all sound.
Still a mystery but out of sync problem, broken sound etc is ok now.
Interesting to see what happens when I add the same clips again.
Sorry to bother you all for nothing. Hope this experience may help someone else though.

Sound glitches

iv been experiencing problems with my sound in winxp pro. it happens whenever i try and install some software or run a scan in the background (nothing very intensive) and run winamp in the foreground to pass the time. what happens is that the music gets dragged out, slowed down. it never happens if im copyin or pasting some huge file just when installations are carried out.
i thought the problem was from my sound drivers but i got the lastest ones installed now, and the problem is still there. dont have the original msi motherboard cd with me. really pissing me off cause my ol p3 never gave me this sort of sht. neone with a similar prob??? im using onboard sound btw.....
if anyone has the link to the lastest sound drivers it'd be a help too, maybe mine are *ed up. thanks !
my specs are:
3400+,
1GB 400mhz Kingston,
400W PSU,
MSI K8T NEO FIS2R,
ATI RAD 9600 (256),
WIN XP PRO

ITunes killed my sound card (code 52 in device manager)

I am running Win 7 x64 and installed iTunes for the first time yesterday and today I have no sound. I looked in the device manager and I have a yellow exclamation mark next to my sound card (Asus Xonar DS PCI). In the error description it says:-
'Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)'
After googling I notice this is a known issue with iTunes. Normally this problem affects optical drives in which case it is fixed by deleting the UpperFilters somewhere in the registry.
BUT what do I do in the case of a broken sound card?
Grateful for any help!

Sorry, when I said 'kill' i meant it stopped it from playing sound not actually damaging the hardware. I am guessing iTunes must be installing an unsigned driver which hooks into the sound card driver and hence windows believes the sound card driver is unsigned. And because 64-bit windows requires drivers to be signed it blocks the device from starting. Just my guess correct me if i'm wrong.
To be honest, i cant see a different pci slot working as it seems more like a problem on the driver level rather than IRQ conflicts etc.
Changing sound card may work because it would be using a different driver altogether (Realtek HD audio), but that would be £40 wasted on my new sound card. Actually I might be better off selling it and getting better speakers instead.
If I get the time, I will try once more installing itunes with the Xonar and then with the Realtek.
Will post results when i get them.

IOS 5 broke sound on my 3GS!

I have an 8GB 3GS that I use as a backup phone. It has been running perfectly fine, at least until yesterday when I upgraded it to iOS 5.0.1. With the update to iOS 5 came a whole bunch of sound problems.
The following features are not working correctly since the update:
-no unlock sound (setting is active)
-no lock sound (setting is active)
-ringer volume cannot be increased/decreased with side volume buttons
-no sound when playing youtube clips or any other videos
-no keypad clicks
When I receive a call on the phone it rings as normal, and during calls the speakerphone setting plays aloud as normal, so the speaker itself appears to be fine.
On rare occasions when the phone is unlocked it does actually make the unlock sound. When the unlock sound does actually work I can use the volume keys as normal but only for a few seconds, after which they no longer work. Once they stop working pressing them causes the below logo to be displayed
http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s167/JonBOY26/IMG_0001.png
Putting the phone on silent causes the phone to vibrate as normal. Switching it off silent causes the current ringer volume setting to be displayed as normal, however any attempts to change the ringer volume with the volume keys cause the logo in the link above.
I've tried restoring the phone but that didn't help. I tried putting the phone into recovery mode and then restoring from there but that didn't help. 've tried restoring on PC's and on Mac's but hasn't made a difference.
Anyone else experienced this before? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

"Coincidences happen."
This is no coincindence. All the sound features were working perfectly when the phone was plugged into the PC and connected to iTunes. After upgrading to iOS 5 they were no longer working. Simple as that.
Obviously the speaker, mute switch and volume buttons are not actually 'broken', as I'm 100% certain they'd work again if I could downgrade to iOS 4, however they are effectively broken under iOS 5 and since Apple doesn't let you downgrade to older iOS versions they remain effectively broken at this point in time.
Here are a couple more 'coincidences' involving an iPhone 3GS, updating to iOS 5, and broken sound functionality.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17014855#17014855
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17015056#17015056
Anyways, in relation to your next question I have tried restoring the phone and setting it up as a new phone, but the problem persists. I've tried restoring the phone from a backup of my iPhone 4S (which is running iOS 5.0.1 without any sound issues) yet the problem persists.
I've noticed that if the phone has been left untouched for a while the unlock sound always works. When it does the volume buttons work also but stop working again after about 3 seconds. At that point if I lock and then unlock the phone the unlock sound doesn't work.
Once the phone is unlocked and the iOS is kicked into action there must be a background process that is launched and causing the issue. I might try turning off different phone features one by one and see if it makes a difference.
