Corrupted Sound When Using IM Programs

I have a HP Pavilion DV5z-1000.  When I use IM programs (so far I have tried Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Messenger), they seem to work fine for a while with both sound and video.  However, after a few minutes, the audio becomes "corrupted".  I hear a horrible rushing, static-like sound.  This will stop after a few minutes but then reoccur.  I have a broadband connection, so I don't think the problem comes from a slow connection.  Additionally, the corrupted sound does not sound like the typical broken or distorted sound you get from a slow connection.  Interestingly, the person on the other end can still hear me and does not hear any of this cacophony.
Any idea what may cause this?  I thought it might be Windows Live Messenger but then tried Yahoo and I get the same result.
Thanks.

Thanks for the link but it doesn't really solve the problem.
I know it works in VLC, my problem is that I absolutely need to be able to use the clip(s) in iMovie HD because I'm filming a documentary and this is one of the most important interviews.
Even if it means finding a way to split the audio in some other program then importing the audio file I'd be ok with that, but I so far I haven't been able to figure it out...any other suggestions?
Thanks

  • My Macbook Pro shuts down when using design programs

    I bought the macbook pro about 3 months ago. The shut down screen appeared and asked me to shut down the computer several times when I am using design programs (like photoshop, illustrator cs2 and macromedia flash 8...) since i bought computer. I can't do anything except forcing the computer to shut down, and it's not good for the computer if i have to do this often. The computer is fairly new, and it really upsets me with this problem.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It sounds like what you are getting is a kernel panic. Read my FAQ* on the issue:
    http://www.macmaps.com/kernelpanic.html
    While uncommon, it is not unheard of. There are many possible reasons.

  • Popping / clicking sound when using headphones

    I just got a new iMac and I've noticed when using headphones I get this popping or clicking noise at cerain times. If the computer doesn't produce sound for a while, it's like the audio driver "shuts down" and the headphones go very quiet, then when the computer has to make a sound, it makes a "pop" noise before it loads the new sound (regardless of the file or program used). Then I'll leave it for a minute or so, and it "pops" and the headphones go very silent (there was a slight static noise before). I don't get this happening when running the headphones through a USB audio card. Is this normal behaviour for Mac OS?

    Looks like this is a software issue (in part at least). By installing this simple script:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/29024/antipop
    you can keep it from happening (more than once). The script keeps the audio system from shutting down, so you only get a pop on startup and that's it. I still don't know if this popping is normal behaviour or points to some faulty hardware.

  • Scretching sound when using trackpad/cpu

    I've recently (after installing update 10.9.1) started to notice a scretching sound when i'm using the trackpad.
    It sounds like if there is a non-ssd disk in my Macbook Pro scanning the harddisk.
    The sound only occures when the computer is using more CPU then the idle state.
    When i'm typing this message I dont notice it, when using the touchpad to scroll the page.
    I can reproduce the sound when I run the terminal program "yes" which generated load.
    Thats why I believe the sound comes from the CPU.
    Anyone else experiencing the same?

    I have no suggestions for fixing it your self. Since you do have most of the original 1 years warranty left and the 2 year extended warranty you need to take it in and be looked at.
    It is not probably OK to take it in. It is what you need to do.
    Good Luck.

  • No Sound when Using HDMI from ATT DVR to TV

    I have a 52xv645u TV.  When I connect it to my ATT UVerse DVR using HDMI I get picture but no sound.  Using Composite everything works fine.  I've tried several HDMI cables.  If I use HDMI to my Surround Sound amp, I get both picture and sound (even with the amp volume muted).  The problem seems to be the connection between the DVR and the TV.  Does this TV support HDSC?  I believe that the DVR requires it to support it on the TV.  
    I see that there is an upgrade for the firmware for this TV.  I have a Mac so the instructions don't work right.  I've downloaded the files to a flash drive but I am not sure if they are correct because there is no list of files available.  Does anyone know what files are needed so I can be sure that my flash drive has everything it needs?
    Any help with these problems would be appreciated!  
    Thanks,
    Mark 

    Is there a list of things that are fixed in the update?   I can get sound and picture through component but I fear that it's not the same quality as it would be through HDMI.  But again, it's only when I watch TV without going through my surround sound amp.  I can watch TV through my apm and watch my Bluray DVDs through the amp and it goes via HDMI.  

  • How do i change default sound when using AirPlay Display on Mavericks

    So i am using a TV with Apple TV attached as a second display for watching movies etc in the background
    Everytime i turn on the setting to enable to the display, it sets the Apple TV as my default sound and i have to go to settings to manually re-select my speakers attached to my iMac. Is there anyway to change this so it leaves the sound from my Mac as the default sound when enabling the screen.

    I looked into this a little more carefully.  It's not the Guest account.  It clearly indicates "Managed".
    Searching for more information, this is something related to Parental Control, but I can't seem to get this account to take on the characteristics of either an administrator or user role.

  • Fizzy and hissing sound when using earphone...

    I have a Macbook Pro 13 inches 2009. I use my earphone to listen music. However, when I don't play music, I can hear a fizzy and hissing sound from my earphone. I tried to use another one but there is still fizzy and hissing sound when no music is playing. I can hear that even clearer when my room is silent. I feel really annoyed about that sound.
    If anyone knows how to fix it, please let me know. Any helps are appreciating...
    Thanks.
    Vu Dinh
    P/S: I'm not sure if it's a software issue or hardware issue.

    The problem is when I dont play music, there is still fizzy and hissing sound on my earphone. Only when I play music, the music is louder than that sound so I just hear music in that time. However, when I dont play music, there is always fizzy sound on my earphone. I already said it always happens when I put my earphone jack on Macbook Pro.
    I want to know if there are any ways to fix that... It's really annoying. It's not silent at all even there is no music. Always a fizzy sound on my earphone.

  • How do you turn off sounds when using phone?

    I know this question is not appropriate for this forum but I cannot find where it should go. I want to turn off the sounds when I am using my phone, e.g., when I am texting, each time I press a key it make a sound. If I turn down the volume then I cannot hear it ring so this is not the answer.
    I have the Nokia 7020 phone. I cannot find any help in the userguide, only how to change ring tones. Anyone have any idea? Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    On my Lumia 900, it's under Settings -> ringtones+sounds, scroll to the bottom where there is a list of check boxes, and uncheck "Key press".  Not sure it's the same for your phone, though.
