Complete loss of audio.

I've come to a problem that I really need help with.
First a little back ground: iPhone 3GS, no warranty, prepaid, replaced screen, iso 5.0.1
I was listening to music one night just before I went to sleep then in the morning my alarm doesn't go off or so I thought. After a 5 minute check I notice that there is absolutely no audio output from the iPhone. My speakers don't work, headphones(tried with multipule), no sounds when on dock, no sounds from lock screens or keyboard and no sounds from calls. Apparently people can't even hear me when I try to call them.
I found this really confusing especially since I can't even get audio through my head phones. Immediately I done all the basic things such as a reboot, back up restore and then a complete restore and nothing happened each time. Later that day I was sitting down trying to figure out what to do when I could here static interference coming from the speakers. it only lasted a minute or less and since then I've had no sound at all.
While this might be a problem for everyone is extremely bad for me. I've moved out of home to a new town and I have absolutely no money. I can barely afford to eat at the moment while I get set up. Which also means I can't get a new phone.
Which is why I've found myway here. I need any helpfully suggestion I can get. I also can't take it to an apple repair shop since the nearest one is a few hours away from me. I am happy to attempt a repair myself but I wonder if it will be worth it and I'm not sure what I would need to check for and replace.
Thanks for any help in advance.

  • I'm at a complete loss...

    I'm using Windows 7.  Recently installed 11 and seemed to have lost all my audiobooks and hated the new format.  So, I decided to revert back to an older version. I unistalled itunes and reinstalled 10.7 but then all my books were gone.  I called carbonite and they restored my books.  Two days later, I was unable to restore them back given the instructions from carbonite.  After a bit of effort I found I needed to "unhide" each and every book under "add folder to library" in the file menu.  It seems to be working, but my books are not set up the way they the used to be. I used to have a nice three column block under my menu.  It contained, "Spoken or audio" in the first column, Author/Artist in the second, and in the third each book the author wrote was listed.  I could choose one book, put it into my play list and then to my ipod.  Try as I might I can no longer sort like this and at a complete loss what to do.  Right prior to downloading 11 everything was fine and grouped just the way I liked it.  If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful.  I've tried the sorting by artist and that doesn't set it the way it used to be.  Thank you in advance.

    Hi someotherguy,
    Can you help me with this problem?
    I hit enter to stop the normal boot and then appear a window to select different options:
    - F1: Enter BIOS
    - Another one I don't remember
    - F12: Select bootable device
    Any of the menus I've tryied to enter I got a message afterwards saying:
    "Intel Boot Agent GE v1.3.81
    PXE 2.1 Build 091 WfM 2.0)"
    And just stays there. Nothing happens.
    After pressing F1 or F12 or other, I got a small message saying press CTRL+S to enter the setup menu. If I press it, I enter in a menu just to change the amount of time that message appear and if I want it or not.
    Can you help me?
    I need to activate the virtualization on the BIOS in order to setup virtual machines!

  • Loss of audio panning effects with timeline audio of Sync type "Stream"

    I have a Flash animation which is loaded into a parent master Flash file. In the animation, there is voice audio embedded in the timeline which is synced with a character animation. The Sync type of the audio is set to Stream, which is essential for the mouth movements to match the audio. When I try to pan the voice audio so that it comes only out of the right speaker, it sounds fine during preview playback, but after publishing, all of the panning effects are lost. If I change the Sync type to "Event" or "Start", the panning effects work fine, but the audio is terribly out of sync with the animation.
    The source audio is a mono audio file. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. I've tried changing the publish settings for both the parent and the child animation Flash files to be Speech, Mp3 mono, Mp3 Stereo and just about every other option, with no desirable results. I have also tried publishing and running the animation without loading it through the parent file, also no results.
    Is there some kind of rule in Flash about Stream versus Event audio and panning? Do I need to use a stereo audio source file? I don't currently have access to the original audio files, but I can get them. Are all Stream type sounds automatically converted to mono at runtime or something??
    Thank you thank you thank you

    According to the Adobe installation information the trial version of Premiere Elements 11 is fully functional and the watermark is only present until a licence code is purchased.
    I have edited AVI footage from a camcorder using the program with no problems (and no loss of audio sync) and the watermark is also present with this.
    The odd placement of audio and video was caused by my not dragging the clip carefully enough.
    What is odd is that the clip plays completely normally using WIndows Media Player and VLC Media player so I would expect Premiere Elements to be able to handle it without problems.
    I think that there is some sort of bug in Premiere Elements' handling of mpe4 files (both in versions 10 and 11) rather than there being anything wrong with my computer.
    Is there some way of communicating this directly to the Adobe programers ?

  • Loss of audio sync when importing Samsung Galaxy 2 (GT-I1900) video to Premier Elements 10

    I am loosing audio sync when I import video from a Samsung Galaxy 2 GT-I1900 phone even when using settings chosen by Premier Elements 10. 
    The file plays OK in Windows 7 media player.
    I have tried using both direct import from the phone and transferring the file separately without solving the problem.
    The Premier Elements is version 10.0(20110902.Mol11.B123.280463)
    Unlinking the audio and video makes no difference.

    Can you suggest any file conversion of the original that will work – I have tried several with no improvement in the final result.
    And can anyone shed light on what is the basic cause of these problems?

  • At a complete loss. Worried data is gone for good. Trying to fix disk by booting Disk Utility from installation DVD but disk ejects. Help!

    Hello Comunity,
    I'm at a complete loss and I hope you could help me.
    The machine I have is I believe an early 2006 iMac model. (Model identifier 4,1 if I recall correctly).
    Awhile ago I installed Snow Leopard on the machine but have since begun encountering serious problems (but I think it's due to the hardware and it's age rather than the software, Snow Leo was running smoothly) and now the computer won't start - I'm faced with a grey screen and a flashing folder with a question mark on it. I tried booting using the various key combinations and as I understood it, my last resort at fixing it myself would be using Disk Utility on the installation DVD.
    This is what happens:
    I boot the computer, insert the disk, press down and hold C (also tried Option). I hear the computer trying to read the disk, but after a considerable aount of time holding down the key and a grey screen, the disk ejects and the flashing folder returns.
    Could anyone offer an insight or advice?
    At this point I'm not even that interested in fixing the machine, but there are some extremely valuable files that I need to recover (the machine gave out just days before I got my extrenal HDD to back them up).
    I'm worried about taking the machine down to the Genius Bar - I'm a completely self-supporting student and I imagine the recovery cost would be huge (if anyone could provide any information on the potential cost of the repair and/or recovery that would help).

    One thing to try without needing the install disk: reboot holding down cmd-S. It should reboot to a black screen and text prompt. Type the following, with spacing exactly as shown, hit the return key after each line:
    mount -uw /
    fsck -fy
    Then type
    reboot
    and see if that helps.
    Do you have any other Macs in the household (or cna use a friend's) that you can try connecting to it with a Firewire cable? If so, reboot the iMac holding down T, you should see a large Firewire symbol moving across the screen. Connecting to another Mac with a FW cable will show you the iMac's hard drive mounted to the other Mac's desktop.
    You can also try Diskwarrior, which fixes drive filestructure problems. It's around $100.
    Professional data recovery cost would depend on a) whether the hard drive is actually at fault, b) if it's physically damaged or just has a filestructure problem. A physically damaged drive can go into the thousands of dollars for data recovery; a drive with filestructure issues usually costs a lot less to recover files.

  • When converting from a .wav to a .mov is there a loss of audio quality when using QuickTime?

    When converting from a .wav to a .mov is there a loss of audio quality when using QuickTime?

    When converting from a .wav to a .mov is there a loss of audio quality when using QuickTime?
    That would depend on your work flow. MOV is the generic QuickTime file container and is not related to any particular data compression format. If you perform a simple "Save" or "Save As..." action that merely copies the data in the WAV file to an MOV file, then the data remains unchanged and maintains its original quality. If, on the other hand, your transcode/re-compress the original data to a different compression format, then there is always the potential for some loss in quality. Depending on the codec and/or settings, the potential loss could be inaudible to severe.

  • Intermittent Loss of Audio

    I rented Micheal Clayton on HD a couple of days ago (my second HD rental), noticed that the movie playback had intermittent loss of audio whether I set it to DD5.1 or not it made no difference.
    The audio loss don't seem to happen at the same scene everytime I rewind and play it back all over again. It seems to happen at random scenes during the movie playback and several times there was no audio for nearly 5 to 10 seconds before it reappears and when I rewind and playback the same scene again, the audio seems to be alright for most parts?
    I am wondering if any other users have had similar audio issues with rented movies from iTunes?
    This is like my first rental movie which had issues with audio, the previous 3 or 4 rentals did not have any audio nor video issues. It's not my ATV unit either because movies and music videos which I already own, playback on it just fine in DD5.1 via Optical and HDMI. So the issue was just with that one movie which I rented then.
    I am wondering how could one demand for a refund from Apple when faced with such problems or issues after the rented movie dissappears from your ATV 24 hours later??
    Now I am feeling cautious to rent another movie, what if I have another issue with which ruins the movie experience?
    I think I will stick with my PS3 and Blu-Ray for now.

    Not sure but I thought I read in another issue that if you connect a TB cable from your Mini into the TB port on the display and the audio/video is OK then that would mean the built-in cable is bad.  I have never tried this so not sure it would work.  Hate to buy a TB cable just to  test because of cost.  The other way would be to take to Apple store and have them check the cable.  It contains miniture IC boards and one could be bad.

  • Exported Final Cut XML from Imovie09 causes loss of Audio Sync

    I have recently upgraded to ILife09 and tried a process that always worked in ILife08 but now get Audio Sync problems.
    I have created an Imovie project that is 2hours and 50 mins long and wanted to export it to Final Cut Express as XML. This used to work 100% with Imovie08. However, with this latest version of Imovie, when exported to Final Cut Express, the first 45 mins of the XML movie is well out of sync (Audio / Visual).
    Has anyone experienced this?

    Hi Roberic,
    there is a bug in iMovie '09 that causes loss of audio sync when you use custom slow/fast motion. This has been experienced by many users. See for example this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9152271
    I don't know if this applies to exports to .xml but it could well be that your problem lies here. There are some workarounds, being the easiest one to only use what the slow motion slider snaps to instead of entering custom speed percentages.

  • Rewinding or FFWDing Media Center TV sometimes results in TV Window blacking and loss of audio

    I recently reinstalled Win 7 SP 1 Home Premium 32 bit and I'm still experiencing the subject problem that prompted the reinstall.
    I'll be watching live TV with no problems and then decide to rewind a bit by clicking the rewind button a few times (the more times I click and the more rapidly, the more likely this problem seems to occurr) and the Media Center TV screen/window will sometimes
    'smoothly' go black also sometimes with a loss of audio. The timer shows TV playback is still occurring and then after a while - 5 ~20 seconds, the picture and then eventually, the sound, return. This occurs both in Windowed or Full Screen TV viewing.
    My system details are:
    Intel DG45ID Motherboard with E8500 Core2 Duo 3.16 GHz CPU and using onboard G45 Graphics
    4 GB (2 x 2GB) of compatible Corsair DDR2 RAM
    Compro Technology E900F TV Card (receiving just DVB-T UK Freeview broadcasts)
    4 x 1 TB Samsung HDDs configured in a 2 TB RAID 0+1 Array using native board functionality
    All the latest drivers are installed correctly - chipset, TV card, Grahics, Audio and Intel RST as well as ME software etc. I've also tested with both Playready installed and not installed - with no difference.
    Does anyone know whats causing this or workarounds to cure it please?

    Hello Niki,
    Many thanks for your reply and that very interesting link. I've reviewed that workaround more deeply and it seems to stop the screen blacking/loss of audio problem but according to one of the threads that it originated from here:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-tv/losing-soundpicture-when-rewinding-live-tv-in/6e0f575a-4bed-4248-9cac-a6392b7b6d16 , the 'fix' also disables MHEG 5 Functionality, which for me, as a UK user of the BBC Red Button and other
    interactive services, is NOT acceptable. The BBC have recently ceased their Ceefax (Teletext) service which has been superceded by the red button MHEG-5 based service so bug free MHEG-5 is our only option.
    I see that the other thread I linked to has had no official comment from Microsoft - as a Moderator here (clearly someone with connections/influence at Microsoft to at least some degree) will you kindly pass this up the chain to be fully and properly addressed
    please Niki? Otherwise maybe someone who is responsible for this field at Microsoft would care to comment here (and over on that other Microsoft thread that's been awaiting their input for some time)??
    I realise that
    MHEG 5 , despite being an international standard, isn't utilised all around the world (notably not in the USA) so I hope this doesn't affect Microsofts prioritisation of providing a proper fix to this issue.

    The movie is from iTunes.   You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case. 

  • Complete loss of system audio?

    I've just installed the new iPod software for my precious new 5g iPod and it works beautifully. However, I've noticed that I've lost all of my computer's audio. my speaker icon in the systray has completely disappeared. When i go to control panel and select "sounds and audio devices" the main window with the Volume tab says i have No Audio Devices. if i click on the next tab, the sounds tab and try to play one of the system sounds, i get a pop up window that tells me that
    "Windows cannot play the sound %SystemRoot%\media\whatever sound file.wav. Your sound card may be in use."
    anyone have a clue on this one?

    Hi, Matthew:
    Try a hard reset of the notebook first.

    If that fails to restore your audio, then see if reinstalling the audio driver helps.

  • I am trying to get audio for my divx10 on my macbook am at a complete loss

    Help!?!   Am trying to download audio software to be able to hear the Divx movies I see on my screen.  Any suggestions?  I have a MacBook with Mavericks OS.  I have already downloaded Divx10.

    Hi mmndragon,
    Are you certain that these apps have an IOS version that can be run on your iPad? Apps in the Mac App Store are OS-based. Apps you need for your iPad or iPhone are IOS-based. Mac apps won't run on iPads or iPhones and vice versa.

  • Macbook not (completely) detecting USB audio device

    Here's what I'm doing. I am ripping my cassette collection using a tape deck, a Roxio video capture device (VHS to DVD), Soundflower, and Adobe Audition. Everything was working fine. I finished a tape and unplugged the USB device to make room for my headphones so I could check the file I created. After doing this, OS X stopped detecting the USB device. Here's what I can tell you:
    It no longer appears as an input device under System Preferences > Sound.
    If I fire up the Easy VHS to DVD Capture software it's clear the software is getting audio (the faux LED meters are responding to the audio coming from the tape deck) - just can't hear anything!
    Adobe Audition was listing the device as "USB 2861 (Not Working)" right after this issue. As soon as I changed the input in Audition, this entry completely disappeared. (For those unfamiliar with audio applications, it's simply looking at the inputs set up in the OS.)
    Under About This Mac > More Info > System Report > USB, I see the USB 2861 device.
    I'm at a loss. So you can see that in some way the device is being detected, but the OS doesn't see it, which means I'm effectively dead in the water. I've tried a number of things; rebooting, an SMC reset (I think that's what it was called), physically removing and reconnecting the device both the while the machine was on/off/after reboot.

    Problem Solved!  
    It turned out to be a combination of the usb cable and the OTG USB hub.  On my desktop the iBaso was cable specific as to the device being recognized.  When I tried the working cable witht the OTG hub on the Stream 7 it failed as usual.  But when I tried the cheap monoprice adapter it worked.
    The usb audio solves the horrible sound problem with the Stream 7 for anybody who is lookiing for a Fix.
    The OTG hub works with a mouse and  a mSata drive perfectly but not with the iBAso DAC.  
    Thanks to everyone who replied for keeping me trying.  

  • Keynote to iDVD: loss of audio in slide show

    I have made a slide show on Keynote with music from iTunes. I export it to iDVD and it works fine from the computer while in iDVD. When I burn the disc, the music from the Keynote slideshow is missing although musc that I have added to menus does play. I want to use the Keynote slideshow and not transfer it to iMovie then iDVD because of loss of quality. I do not want to use the slideshow from iDVD because Keynote provides more opprtunities for effects in the slide show as well as clearer text. I think the problem has something to do with the fact that when I export, on my desktop is a copy of the slideshow AND a copy of the soundtrack.mov. How can I get them together? THANKS!!!

    Thanks for the help but I faced the same problem as others with iMovie. Also I am trying to avoid the use of iMovie because the final product, a QT from iMovie, is not as clear visually as an import from Keynote - graphics are a lot muddier. I would have to agree that, as much as I LOVE Keynote, the inability to simply export a slide show with audio intact certainly is a problem with Keynote.
    Also disappointed,
    Jim
