Clicking sound when playing videos in Safari

When I play videos in Safari I gett a clicking sound.  If I try the same video in Chrome I do not hear these clicking sounds

Hi, everyone.  This is Joey from Bongiovi Acoustics.  This is a frustrating and known issue that arose with the release of Mavericks. Click here for our help topic on the issue. 
The solution is not to uninstall Digital Power Station (DPS) but to quit the application from the task bar when the issue arises. 
Allow me to explain in detail:
The Digital Power Station plugin works by capturing all system audio using a virtual audio output driver (a kernel extension called DPSReflector).  The audio then goes to the Digital Power Station application where we apply the Bongiovi DPS audio processing.  Then processed audio flows out to the physical output on your Mac that you choose in the DPS preferences window.
When you quit the DPS application from the task bar menu, the DPSReflector is taken out of the audio path and your standard connection to the audio hardware is restored.  There is no need to uninstall DPS.  When you want to listen to music or non Quicktime X powered video, you can just restart DPS from Launchpad.
Unlike most applications (word processors, video games, Photoshop etc) the use of a kernel extension vastly complicates our interaction with OSX.  Up through OSX 10.8 the kernel extensions that captured audio worked great.  These include the famous Soundflower by Cycling 74 as well as our own DPSReflector.  Apple provided tools to developrs to fine tune them and their interactions with OSX and the world was happy.
With OSX 10.9 things seem to have changed.  See our forum topic on the issue. The tools for profiling audio processes at a lower level no longer seem to work properly.  And documentation about the changes to CoreAudio is incomplete.  We have had an open bug report with Apple's driver support team for several months and we are consulting with experts on OSX kernel extensions to resolve the issue.  As you can imagine, the lack of movement on this issue is frustrating.  We can't see inside of CoreAudio to see how it is built at a deep level.  So without documentation or good developer support we are at a standstill for fixing the issue.  As soon as we get actionable information from Apple we will fix the issue immediately and push out an update.
We are dedicated to providing our users with amazing audio and we go to great lengths to see that their experience is the very best we can offer.  Our hope is the fine folks at Apple with get back with us and provide good data that we can use to squash this bug.  Feel free to keep up to date on our progress at our forums. 
Thanks for your patience!

  • Safari clicking sound when playing video.

    Issue has been with me on my (mid-2012) MBPretina since I got it (I think). Video on any website has a consistent glitchy clicking sound (no actual video issues) but no issues in Chrome. Haven't tried other browsers and video in other apps (iTunes etc have no such problems)
    I have now upgraded to Mavericks and the issue persists.
    I'd rather not use Chrome so...
    <Edited by Host>

    If the video requires Flash ..
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Not empty the Safari cache.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Now try a video.

          So my question is : why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?
    Does the same thing happen to you guys??
    btw, I just dont want to mirroring when play a video in safari, that's why i'm asking this question
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Experiencing the same issue.  Everything used to just work.  I'm up to date on *everything* and it's all apple devices (airport extreme, appletv, 2 macbook pro lion, iphone4s, ipad). 
    My gut says it's the AppleTV since it happens from both laptops that have itunes.
    Let me know if you find a fix.

  • Clicking sound when recording Video

    When I record video, a clicking/whirring noise made by the camera is recorded on the video. I'm thinking it's the autofocus, or zoom (although it seems to make the noise even if I am not using the zoom.)Any ideas on what is causing this or how to get rid of it?Thanks!

  • Clicking sound when streaming audio in Safari

    hello,
    has anybody ever experienced a clicking sound when streaming audio over the internet? i have no idea where to begin to fix this problem.
    amber

    Dear Amber,
    I am experiencing the same problem on my iMac G5 when I am streaming movies from ANY browser AND when I watch trailers on Front Row.
    I think the QuickTime plugin has a problem streaming audio while the movie downloads, especially when the file is large (as in the case of Front Row streaming movies, where the files are all HD).
    If other applications are open concurrently, the problem is even more noticeable, because QuickTime 7 consumes a lot of resources and if you do not have enough RAM (and 512 MB does not seem to be enough with OS X 10.4.4) it will strive to perform.
    You may check how much memory is used by your computer by opening the Acivity Monitor utility.
    I hope Apple will become aware of the problem and suggest a workaround, because otherwise QT 7 is exceptional.
    Ciao,
    Alessandro
    iMac G5 (w/iSight)   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

  • Youtube problem when playing videos in safari

    Whatever youtube video i play it just freezes and glitches and the whole video window and webpage becomes unresponsive whether im on youtube or watching a youtube video on another site, the video is unwatchabe and i have to reload the page over and over and sometimes it will eventially play okay. I have no problems playing videos through firefox.
    I have tried empyting the cache, cookies and all the other browsing data, i have tried reinstalling flash player, i have cleaned my computer and still the problem persisits. I have no problems with any other video sites or flash windows, its just youtube (typically).
    I need help to get to the bottom of this!

    Hi..
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    You need to uninstall the current Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache (yes, do this one more time).
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safa

  • Clicking sound when playing

    My classic 160gb makes a loud clicking sound as if its searching, when I am not pressing wheel, what should I do?? It's annoying!!
    Is it faulty??

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    My classic 160gb makes a loud clicking sound as if its searching, when I am not pressing wheel, what should I do?? It's annoying!!
    Is it faulty??
    You may want to post your question on your iPod classic in this discussion: should post the question at the iPod classic discussions at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=204
    Normally, a new loud clicking sound, where it was previously quiet in comparison, from a hard drive is indicative of a pending hard drive failure. If the iPod is new, it's possible that the drive has issues, in which case you should take it to your local Apple store to determine if there's an issue.

  • Why do I get a black screen and no sound when playing video in iTunes 8?

    Just downloaded the new iTunes. I don't have any video playback when I click preview in the store. No video when I try to play anything that I've already downloaded. The play cursor moves but I have a black screen with no sound. I'm hoping this is just a temporary glitch.
    Any recommendations? I'm using the latest version of Leopard 10.5.4 on an Intel iMac.

    Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
    Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
    Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.

  • Crackling sound when playing video files with X-Fi Elite

    Hello,
    I have a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro running on a Windows Vista Ultimate system that have the Gigaworks S750 Speakers connected to them.
    I noticed today when trying to play a video file that there was constant crackling in the background throughout the file. To try to isolate the problem, I tried a different file, and have found that this happens with ALL video files. Audio playback on mp3s or CDs is OK.
    I'm using Entertainment Mode, EAX effects set to Theater, CMSS enabled and Crystallizer disabled, and all other settings as default. The configuration is set to 7. to match my Gigaworks speakers.
    I have tried using both the latest and latest beta drivers for the card, without success.
    Any help to resolve these problems would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    H.

    Thank you for the response. I have checked it, and it says (i've dutch language) something i would translate to English as "System sound output". Is that preference for all discs? I would assume so. But DVD-player plays some discs without sound, and some with sound. So maybe it is codec related? But i would not know how to check that... (when i try to see what codec, audio says it is dts, and i assume dts audio should be no problem?)

  • After iOS 8, no sound when playing video taken from the back camera..

    I have an iPhone 5, everything was fine before the update, but after ios 8, when i record a video from the back camera only, it plays no sound.  The front camera works fine, sound and picture are perfect during playback, back camera just picture, no sound..  Anyone else have a similar issue?

  • No sound when playing video from organizer in PSe 4.0

    I am currently having a problem with previewing video in the organizer in Photoshop Elements 6.0.  The problem is that there is no sound.  I thought something went wrong during the import of these videos from the camcorder to the PC hard drive (imported through the Adobe Downloader) so I tried to use them in a project in Premier Elements 4.0.
    If I open these videos in Premier Elements 4.0, you can hear the sound.  Also, it's only for the .mpg I copy over from the camcorder.  There are .avi files and .mov files in the organizer and those play just fine.
    I use Windows XP with an older DELL system.
    Anybody have this problem?  Any suggestions how to fix it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I tried searching the web and these forums but I didn't find anything that matched my problem.
    Tony H.

    My suspicion is that there is not an appropriate system available mpeg2 codec on your Windows XP machine for the Photoshop Elements 6 Organizer to use for the playback of your .mpg file.  Premiere Elements 4 provides its own codec for mpeg2 and I think that is why it can work with these files.
    What solved this type of problem for me on an older Dell desktop runnning XP Home using Sony hard drive SD camcorder .mpg files was
    -- to install the software provided by Sony on the CD that came with the camera
    -- I think that the critical factor provided by the Sony software was the addition of an mpeg2 codec that Photoshop Elements 6 Organizer could then use.
    I do want to emphasize that my solution may have been influenced by the specifics of my system: therefore, I can't be sure if it will resolve your problem.
