CMSS 5.1 sound not constant when watching

Thanks for the thread on CMSS settings Jason. I have noticed that the audio from my LifeVeiw TV when decoded using CMSS in my Sound Blaster Li've 5. is not very clear in the rear speakers and seems to flick on and off which is frustrating to listen to, so I leave CMSS off. Could this be something to do with the quality of the Air TV signal I'm receiving, because CMSS seems to work fine for Direct sourced audio such as CD and VCD?

The same problem with the same card ! On Vista 64 sp and it's quite impossible to hear something in the rear speakers on 4..
Sometimes it works very low, sometimes it doesn't work at all.
By the way I use also Ubuntu 9.04 : the beta driver provided by creative is laconic ! Several weeks to find the way to install, and finally it works on two speakers only with a benedictan use, nothing more, no mixer and so on !
Does anyone know how to obtain a 4. sound on both these systems ?
Kindest regards
cacole

Sound not working when watching movies from MacBook Pro 15'' in full screen

after a recent iTunes upgrade the sound will not work when I watch a movie or anything else in iTunes on my Thunderbold Display. I have the 15'' retina MacBook Pro connected to the display and it used to work flawlesly. has anyone had the same problem?

When I upgraded the volume control in iTunes (at the top) defaulted to off (all the way left) so no sound. I just slid the slider all the way to the right. Also be sure display audio is set in the preferences, sound menu

Crackling/popping - constant, not just when watching videos

;Crackling/popping - constant, not just when watching videos' My setup is a Dell Dimension 8400 with Media Center (WinXP), Intel Pentium 4, 3.4GHz, 3070Mb RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 6800 video card, and an Audigy 2 ZS sound card.
After never having any audio problems, almost 3 months ago I updated the Audigy 2 ZS driver (5.2.4.96) to the most recent available (2.8.00), and immediately crackling and popping began coming from the speakers.
Although nothing has solved the problem, here are some things I've tried:
1) updating to the beta driver (2.8.00)
2) installing the old driver (2.09.006) offered at the Creative site
3) installing an old driver (5.2.4.445) found online
4) reinstalling from the original CD that came with my computer
Because I've spent so many frustrating hours since the disastrous update trying many different fixes, I can't recall exactly what happened during the update, and didn't keep good notes. However, my contemporaneous notes from that day mention (without context, unfortunately) some files that may provide a clue to more knowledgeable techies as to what has gone wrong:
ctac32k.sys
haP72K.sys
ctdnlstr.dat
ctoss2k.sys
This problem has consumed a great deal of my time, and interfered with my profession (musician). At this point I'm very frustrated, and would greatly appreciate the help of this forum.
P.S. I've created this new thread (message) rather than add a post to the "Static noise from soundcards encountered with Nvidia dual SLI" thread, because: ) I don't *think* that my GeForce 6800 is a "dual SLI" and 2) my symptoms are different, i.e., crackling and popping not just when watching video files or playing mp3's, but constantly, from first starting the computer.

Hi @Clairceg
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome.Thank you for the detailed information very very helpful. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 15-n297sa Notebook and the popping sound or crackling noises. Here is a document on troubleshooting sound for the user profile that is experiencing the crackling.
Does this happen in the profile when they are listening to a CD?
What browser are you using? I would check to make sure the browser is up to date.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.

Need help getting my surround sound to work when watching TV

I recently got the Samsung Blueray Home Theatre system and it works fine while watching movies, but I can't seem to get the system to work while watching regular tv? Any ideas?

In order to get sound while you are watching braodcast tv or satalite you have to route the sound to your receiver some how. If you use a external source for watching tv, like a digital cable box or satalite receiver you will have to run the sound to your receiver from that component. A digital connection would be best so your receiver can decode dolby digital if its available for the program you are watching. And optical cable, digital coax (looks like an RCA cable) or HDMI if your components utilize it. For the HDMI you would need to have an HDMI out on the cable/satalite box and a HDMI input on the stereo receiver.
If your not using a cable or satalite box then you need to run an optical cable from the optical out of your tv to an optical input on the receiver.
Without knowing exactly what components you are using its hard to say which would be the best way to hook it up.

Why does my sound not work to watch movies but can here itunes and utube

Can some one please advsie what i need to do, as i have no sound when watching a movie but can play my itunes and listen to utube shows.

Weird.
If you haven't done so, ensure AppleTV has latest software update (4.4.3) and also restart it by unplugging the power cord.
There are some other options to check later.

My cursor does not disappear when watching full screen movies

I have a rMBP running Mountain Lion, everything is up to date. Like I said when watching full screen videos my cursor arrow does not dissapear. I am new to OSX so is this normal or do I have my settings set up wrong. Its not a huge deal, just getting more annoyed with each video, thanks for your help.

I have the same problem, but in addition, if the cursor doesn't disappear completely the video control menus stay glued to the bottom of the full screen. I may have to switch back to my pc to watch.....

Dropped and glitched sound with dv9700 when watching Blu-Ray over HDMI connected to receiver

I have hooked my dv9730nr up to my receiver (Onkyo TX-SR606) via HDMI, which then passes video through HDMI to my Panasonic plasma. When I do this, Blu-Rays have an audio glitch every 4-6 seconds, which sounds like either quick repeated sounds or a half-second pause in audio. The audio and video otherwise are great. PowerDVD Ultra reports that I am outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital via PCM, and the sound from my speakers support this. With other video, including 1080p .WMVs that I've made myself, there is no problem. I've disabled the laptop's monitor, and am only using the TV as my display. When I bypass the receiver, and hook my laptop straight into my TV via HDMI, there is no problem, but my TV has no built-in speakers, so no audio is being passed via HDMI. I have no other receivers with HDMI to test my laptop, so I'm not sure that that the problem is not with the receiver. I've tried disabling all audio output modes except for 24bit 48KHz under Realtek Digital Output in the Playback Devices control panel.
I'm not worried about this, since I have a dedicated Sony Blu-Ray played on the way, but I am disappointed in the HDMI audio performance of this laptop. I suspect the problem lies in the Realtek HD Audio drivers, or something wrong with the related hardware on the motherboard. I updated my drivers from v6.0.1.5494 A to v6.0.1.5548 A, with no change. I will try driver Vista_R213 off the Realtek website, although I'm not sure that this is compatible with my laptop.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit SP1
Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 @ 1.66 Ghz
3 GB RAM
nVidia GeForce 8600M GS
RealTek High Definition Audio

Well slap me twice and call me Sally, it would appear these new Realtek drivers fixed the problem. The drivers can be found here, but be prepared for a slow connection to the Realtek website. Now I can indeed enjoy video and sound the way it's meant to be done via Blu-Ray, kudos Realtek for fixing this problem.

Browser sound not working when webcam is connected

Hi,
The other day I got a USB logitech webcam and I was able to get it working on my arch Linux. However, I'm having problems with the sound. When I plug in my webcam to my computer, there won't be any problem if my computer was already running, but if I plug in my USB webcam before starting my computer, the sound for browsers won't work at all. I thought it was Flash related issue, but I noticed that Chromium cannot play html5 videos, either. On the other hand, Amarok and other applications have no problem with the sound.
My other issue is with the volume manager. My keyboard has a button for adjusting the volume, but if my webcam is connected, it won't be able to adjust the volume for my speakers. When I try to use this button, the picture for volume adjustment shows up with an empty bar.
I think there's a conflict between my PCI sound card and the microphone of my USB webcam. Any idea how to resolve this issue?
Thanks

It's not the browser issue. It's an issue with the order of the cards.
Sometimes The webcam goes as HW0 and the system try to use that rather than your sound card.
Quickest fix:
Edit /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
Add:
alias snd-card-0 snd-whatso-ever
alias sound-slot-0 snd-whatso-ever
Where snd-whatso-ever is your... sound card.
To find it use:
ls -l /sys/module/snd/holders

Movie sound not working when in full screen

ALSA: Sound not working when webcam is plugged in. [Solved]

I'm using the out-of-the-box sound setup (ALSA, nothing else). My sound card setup (including the USB webcam with mike):
mrkline $ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [VX5000 ]: USB-Audio - Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000
Microsoft Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 at usb-0000:00:1d.7-2, high speed
1 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xfdff4000 irq 42
I'm aware of what the wiki says on the issue, and tried it to no avail. I created /etc/asound.conf and gave it the following contents, but as you can see from /proc/asound/cards, the webcam still initializes first sometimes.
ctl.dmixer {
type hw
card Intel
What additional steps can I take?

Update: As mentioned above, the current wiki contents were useless. However, I discovered a fix and will be adding it to the wiki:
I noticed several of the more hands-off repos (namely Linux Mint and Ubuntu) contain an ALSA config file at /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. In it, among other things, are lines that ensure USB cards are not selected as the first sound card. Creating a file at /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf with the following contents fixed the problem:
options bt87x index=-2
options cx88_alsa index=-2
options saa7134-alsa index=-2
options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2
options snd-intel8x0m index=-2
options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2
options snd-usb-audio index=-2
options snd-usb-caiaq index=-2
options snd-usb-ua101 index=-2
options snd-usb-us122l index=-2
options snd-usb-usx2y index=-2
# Keep snd-pcsp from being loaded as first soundcard
options snd-pcsp index=-2
# Keep snd-usb-audio from beeing loaded as first soundcard

Is it possible to play sound on airtunes when watching music vid on iTunes?

I can't get it to work, even though it comes up as an option.
So when I play a music video on iTunes from my MBP and click on the airplay option, the sound will come through the speakers I have plugged into my airport express, but the video freezes.
Am I missing something?
If I try this on my iPad, it works fine i.e. the video plays on the iPad and the sound comes out of the speakers connected to the AE.
Everything is up to date, in terms of the latest iTunes version, Snow Leopard and firmware updates etc.
Any tips/tricks gratefully received.

Yes, but there's issues...

A siren sound is constant when I open Firefox on a Mac, how can I get rid of it

When I log into Firefox a siren sound which runs continuously starts.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today-May 20, 2010 ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

It's Pac-Man's 30th Birthday today, and Google's homepage is a playable Pac-Man game around the Google logo. My boyfriend had the same problem, then I went to Google and was like Hey, it's Pac-Man! And then the siren started. He plays fine on my laptop, but for some reason the music is stuck on his computer.
All you have to do is disable the "Cool Previews" add on for firefox. Go to the "Tools" link at the top of the browser, go down to "Add Ons", go to the "Cool Previews", click "Disable". Then restart firefox and it should be fine!

Sounds not working when a message is received, despite it being turned on?

Despite all the proper settings on my iPad, when I receive a message there is no Sound received. This occurred right after I upgraded to iOS 6.

Assuming you are using Safari to view YouTube content...
Press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
Quit and relaunch Safari, try a video.
If that doesn't help, you may have the YouTube HTML5 beta enabled.

perhaps flash thinks your speakers are unavailable to it.
If a new account works normally, trash the Flash settings at Home/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/, quit any browsers & try again.
Brilliant that did it!
