Cp5 playing wrong audio in Quiz

I have a Cp4 PowerPoint project that was upgraded to Cp5. The project has one quiz pool of 17 questions. I narrate the quiz questions for accessibility purposes. When previewed in Cp5, the audio for another quiz slide plays. They don't match up. It's as if the randomization of the quiz pool is confusing the audio that's supposed to play. Anyone else experiencing this? Any work arounds? This did not happen in Cp4.
TIA,
Jim Leichliter

I moved all quiz questions to the main timeline. Created a new question pool. Deleted the old empty question pool. Moved all of the question slides back into the new question pool. Deleted the random question slides and insterted new ones. Problem fixed.

Exported file plays wrong audio with slide

Hi all,
I just produced a tutorial in v2 that has sound files embeded
in almost every slide. They were originally wavs, but I have
captivate convert them to 64kbit mp3s. I also have some slides that
do not contain sound, but contain .flv files. (These .flv files
have sound.)
When I previewed the file, everything worked perfectly. The
sound cues were right, and the videos appeared just as they should.
However, when I published the file, the slides played completely
different sound files from other parts of the project and in the
wrong order. I tried exporting using both standalone .exe and
web-based formats using Flash 8, but the results were the same each
time.
Does anyone have any ideas about what could cause this
problem? Based on what I've seen, I think the three most likely
candidates for trouble are:
1) Slide audio errors
2) .Flv files
3) Flash 8
But there could be other, stranger things afoot.
Please let me know if you need more info about
something.

I tried re-exporting as an H264 mov but the exported file shrunk to 400 mb and lost most of the footage.
How do I fix?
I am guessing that you may have accidentally made a selection in the timeline before exporting - and then only that was exported.
Try exporting like Russ said.
And Russ meant to write VLC.

Movie plays wrong audio, EyeHome plays correct audio

I have a video that I ripped from a commercial DVD for use on my Eyehome. The MPEG2 file apparently has two audio tracks (for lack of a better term). When played in QT, I get the commentary audio, and when played via EyeHome (same file), I get the music soundtrack which is the correct one. Why? When I view properties, I see two line items and one is MUXED mpeg2. If I uncheck it, I get only a audio file window instead of a video file window.

retrieving an incorrect file from you cache isn't likely to cause that problem. the opposite problem would be seen if a cached file were used: a new sound should play but an old one plays in its place.
more likely is a faulty setup on your part.

Upload to Sum Total LMS Playing Wrong Audio

I recently completed a course in Captivate 4 with audio narration and 1 video. Everything worked great until I uploaded to Sum Total LMS. When the course initially launched you hear the audio from the first slide and the audio from the video playing at the same time. If you close the course and restart it, it plays fine.
I have removed the course from the LMS and reposted it twice and am still haveing the same issue, can anyone help me out?

It may be due to the way your video has been added inside the SWF in Flash.
Was the video created as a symbol, and therefore is not at the main timeline level?
If so, it might be that Captivate is playing the video and it's audio when as soon as it loads the file, instead of on the slide where the video is intended to play.
How many slides are there in this project and on what slide is the video SWF?

Quicktime not working after loading Lion. It is in Applications folder. It is dark when trying to play. Audio is there, no video. Is something set wrong?

Quicktime not working after loading Lion. It is in Applications folder. It is dark when trying to play. Audio is there, no video. Is something set wrong?

It is supposed to be dark.
Is it all videos that don't display or just some. You may have installed something like Perian or Flip for Mac that translates the video codecs for Quicktime. They may need updating.

Audio tracks play back wrong audio

at some point in my mix sessions , in different sessions , one of my audio tracks starts playing back audio from both its channel and another channel simultaineously. there not always adjacent tracks , not assigned to the same voice and have seemingly nothing in common. if i change voices i can sometimes allieviate the problem or it will start playing a different track audio simultaineously. i have two records pending and need some immediate help please...

D,
Just to warn you (or throw some experience in). Logic 7 has for me, operated poorly with sessions created from older versions of Logic. It is often fine if you just want to duck in and grab something but the sessions do go weird if you just keep using them they go batty and can often get kind of self destructive.
Updating/merging/replacing the environment is one of the first steps to take, just creating new updated objects helps, even using presets and channel strips from older versions seem to give problems. Copying objects and configurations over can give you different results, but basically the more you replace and create as new the less problems you'll have.
So you know you have alot of reworking to do if you really want to do alot of work with these in the current version. Determine where a good transition point would be and try to follow with that. Often mixing or sooner than later but plan on taking some time reworking things. It's almost easiest to just grab everything and paste it over into a 7 built autoload-without the plugins. Audio Objects and plugin instances seem to give alot of problems. I usually end up redoing a bunch of stuff if I have a ways to go and export away. Things really get fixed along the way but it is a pain and better to do it sooner. Unless you're coming up on a mixing stage or something soon I'd just do it (and keep a backup of the older versions just in case I want to retrieve something.
I am working on an album that was created on a 6 autoload and 12 of 13 tracks had to be reformatted in 7 from forward INcompatabilities-some of them twice because they did not get a 100% clean autoload (as in the instruments and/or audio objects were opied over). Maybe I'm just weird, don't take only my word on this because it is alot of work for many projects to just redo things like this but you should be aware of what some people have encountered and be prepared to take some of those steps if there are more people saying their experience has been like this.
Best of Luck

Flash CS3 Play/Stop audio button problem

I made a play/stop audio button with this youtube tutorial (youtube.com/watch?v=XU6oMEFUFF8) but after the sound is finished I want the play button to show up agian.
Here is the actionscript:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickha ndler);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickha ndler);
function clickhandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
swapChildren(play_btn,stop_btn);
what code should I add to my current code?
I also can send you the Fla.

You should consider using the Sound class. Here's a quick overview of it:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9b90204-7d21.html
You'll be able to add event listeners to the sound to know when it completes so you can execute more code, such as swapping the play and stop button. There is an example in that overview of listening for the SOUND_COMPLETE event (e.g. channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete);). It should contain everything you need.
A basic example of what you'll end up with (there's many ways to do it) might look something like this:
// just set up and wait for click
var isPlaying:Boolean = false;
var mySound:Sound = new MySoundInLibrary();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
myChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onPlaybackComplete);
// buttons
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickhandler);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickhandler);
function clickhandler(event:MouseEvent):void
          swapChildren(play_btn, stop_btn);
          if (isPlaying)
                    isPlaying = false;
                    myChannel.stop();
          else
                    isPlaying = true;
                    myChannel = mySound.play();
function onPlaybackComplete(e:Event):void
          isPlaying = false;
          swapChildren(play_btn, stop_btn);
The basic idea is keeping a flag if the audio is currently playing. If it isn't then assign the sound to a channel and play it while setting the flag (isPlaying) to true. If it's already playing, set the flag to false and stop playing the audio.
The swapChildren is run in the onPlaybackComplete() method so when the audio completes the play button is swapped back in front.
Rather than swapping the children I'd urge you to toggle the .visible property instead. It's easy to run commands in the wrong order and get desynched on depth.

Is it possible to play iTunes audio out through USB to receiver to power speakers?

I thought you should be able to.Play iTunes audio out through USB to a receiver equipt with USB mode as I can with my iPad Air, but I can,t find in preferences on my 2013 iMac any out put and I get no signal to the receiver/amp. Is it possible? What am I doing wrong?

Yes
A 3.5mm to RCA cable or adapter will work fine for stereo between the Mac's headphone jack and receiver's RCA input.
for example's
> http://www.amazon.com/RiteAV-3-5mm-Stereo-Female-Cable/dp/B0018MI5F6
> http://www.amazon.com/C2G-Cables-40645-Stereo-Adapter/dp/B000J1H4VI/
Additionally if your receiver is equipted with digital input, you could use a Toslink cable with a 3.5mm adapter on the Mac end.

Play an audio file over HTTP

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to play an audio file over HTTP protocol. The code is the following:
public class HTTPClientJMF {
     static String url = "http://localhost/audio/Reklam1.wav";
     static String urlFile = "file:///C://tmp/audio/Reklam1.wav";
      * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          try {
               DataSource dataS = new URLDataSource(new URL(url));
               dataS.connect();
               Player player = Manager.createPlayer(dataS);
               player.start();
          } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (NoPlayerException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
}Now, if I'm trying to play the file from the local disk (+urlFile+ - using file protocol), everything goes well, but if I'm trying to play the same file from the network (using http protocol) I get the following exception:
javax.media.NoPlayerException: Cannot find a Player for: javax.media.protocol.URLDataSource@fa9cf
Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you!

Ah',..okay. I constructed the DataSource like follows:
Buffer mediaBuffer = new Buffer();;
          String mediaURL = "http://ares.inescn.pt/video/Reklam1.wav";
          URL url;
          try {
               url = new URL(mediaURL );
               InputStream in = url.openStream();
               BufferedInputStream bufIn = new BufferedInputStream(in);
               for (;;) {
                    int data = bufIn.read();
                    // Check for EOF
                    if (data == -1)
                         break;
                    else
                         mediaBuffer.setData(data);
               System.out.println(mediaBuffer.getLength());
               if (mediaBuffer.getLength() != 0) {
                    DataSource ds = new DataSource();
                    HttpStream[] httpStream = ds.getStreams();
                    System.out.println(httpStream.length);
                    httpStream[0].read(mediaBuffer);
                    ds.connect();
                    ds.start();
                    Player player = Manager.createPlayer(ds);
                    player.start();But I still cannot play an audio file (wav format) over the HTTP. Application starts but nothing happened.
I make the modification like you suggested. (into the DataSource, more exactly for method getStreams()).
I renamed as well the HttpDatasource into HttpStream.
Did you actually tried the code? I've been reading the instruction how to test the code but I did not be able to run the example.

How do i play an audio clip from a server?

I am trying to play an audio file on another server, for example:
URL url = new URL("http://example.com/hello.wav");
AudioClip click = Applet.newAudioClip(url);
click.play();This doesn't seem to be working, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks very much.
Edited by: JavaJenius on Mar 7, 2008 6:47 PM

Use a SwingWorker:new SwingWorker<AudioClip, Void> () {
    protected AudioClip doInBackground () throws Exception {
        return Applet.newAudioClip (new URL ("http://www.geocities.com/darrylbu/sounds/ringout.wav"));
    protected void done () {
        try {
            get ().play ();
        } catch (ExecutionException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
}.execute ();Depending on your need, you may want to make that a named class AND/OR assign it to a variable reference and call execute separately AND/OR you may want to call loop () instead of play () inwhich case you may want to assign the AudioClip to an instance field so that stop () can be called from any method.
For a console app, I would have recommended a Thread:new Thread (new Runnable () {
    public void run () {
        try {
            Applet.newAudioClip (new URL ("http://www.geocities.com/darrylbu/sounds/ringout.wav")).play ();
        } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
}).start ();The same reasoning applies.
Please read the API for anything you're not familiar with, and get back if you have any questions.

Playing quicktime audio in succession, but only on Click

I have a slide that has text, and three different audio clips. I would like the slide to do the following, when I click.
Click 1 - First set of text appears
Click 2 - First audio file plays
Click 3 - Second audio file plays
Click 4 - Third audio file plays
Click 4 - Second set of text appears
I cannot seem to get this sequence. All I can make it do is play the audio on the first three clicks, then the text appears on the subsequent clicks.
What am I doing wrong?

You should be able to revise the order by changing the Order in the Build inspector. The easiest way is to open the 'More Options' drawer and dragging the items into the order you want.
I noted that the first time I tried this it didn't seem to work until I clicked 'Play Movie on click' in the Quicktime inspector so maybe try that first.
I'm also presuming that the text is in two different text boxes.

Design flaw in 'Play stereo audio as mono' of Universal Access Hearing-tab

The option to 'play stereo audio as mono' that comes with OSX 10.6 does not work as I expected.
When I enable this option it sounds like only one of the two channels becomes mono, while the other one does not sound mono to me.
It's hard to notice this, because the total sound does change to 'less' stereo.
I've done some testing with different soundcards and testing signals, and found out that when the option is enabled, the mono signals are routed incorrect.
While the right channel becomes mono, the left channel seems to be something else; I'm not sure if it's the original left channel of the stereo signal, though.
I have reason to believe that the resulting mono sound on the right channel correctly is the 'monofied original sound', but that from the left channel.
The resulting mono sound on the left channel sounds like the original left channel of the stereo sound, maybe added with the mono sound of the right channel.
Why do I think so? When using a sound card with more than two outputs, I can clearly see that sound is being sent to the second and the THIRD output, instead of the first and the second output, immediately after I enable mono. Resulting in output on THREE channels:
original left
monofied (left)
monofied (right)
On my soundcard I can disable the extra outputs, and than I hear:
original left + maybe monofied right
monofied (left)
I think the programmer of this great feature made an 'off-by-one error', consequently sending the monified output to the wrong channels;
to channel[1] + channel[2] instead of channel[0] + channel[1]
I don't know what happens to sound that is sent to channel[2] (the third channel) on a two channel soundcard.
It could be mapped to the the first channel, but that of course is speculation. Could be tested though, with the right audio signal.
I hope someone can confirm this. If more people experience this problem, maybe Apple can fix this so I can enjoy listening in mono.
I have tested this on the internal soundcard and three external firewire audio interfaces, of which 2 have 8+ output channels.
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick-and-dirty test.
Your findings are not a surprise to me.
It would be more interesting though to not use one's ears for proof.
Also, I have reason to believe that this result is valid for any two channel audio interface.
With the test below I can proof that audio is sent to three channels instead of just two, when enabling "Play stereo audio as mono" on an(y) audio interface with more than two outputs (enabled).
The test takes a little longer than the quick-and-dirty test.
If you don't have an audio interface with more than two channels of output, you can still perform the test by installing Soundflower first.
Soundflower is a virtual audio interface with multiple inputs and outputs, and can be used as an audio router or audio patchbay.
Get Soundflower from http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/ - it's free.
Here's the test …
Open System Preferences, choose the Sound prefpane and select the Output-tab
Select any audio interface with more than two channels of audio outputs as your sound output device ( Or use "Soundflower (16ch)" )
Keep the System Preferences open
Start Garageband
Create a new project
From Preferences select for Audio Input your interface-with-more-than-two-channels-of-audio ( Or use "Soundflower (16ch)" )
( selecting an Audio Output is not necessary, because we're not actually going to use our ears for proof )
Enable multitrack recording from the menu (Track / Enable multitrack recording )
Create four tracks as "Real instrument"; each one with an increasing Input Source: Mono 1, Mono 2, Mono 3, Mono 4
( the last one is just for verification )
Enable recording on these four tracks (if you can't select more than one, try enabling multitrack recording)
Open System Preferences, choose Universal Access (probably click 'Show All' first) and select the Hearing-tab
Make sure audio is played in stereo (unchecking the checkbox)
Keep the System Preferences open
Switch to the Finder or iTunes
Playback any song
Switch back to Garageband and check the meters on the individual tracks
( remember this is stereo, notice the number of channels with signal )
Switch back to System Preferences to enable mono (on the Universal Access prefpane)
Switch back to Garageband and check the meters on the individual tracks ( this is mono ! )
End of test ...
You will see that in mono a third audio channel is addressed, while there should have been only two in both mono and stereo.
The signal strength of channels 2 + 3 seem equal, and channel 1 looks much louder.
This difference in signal strength is very noticable when listening to channels 1 and 2 on separate speakers or headphone.
What is that playing on channel 3?
I must admit (against my original post) that this test does not proof that the signal on channel 1 is or is not mono or anything else; that requires another test.
One can of course record these channels and do some comparisons and subtractions or some other clever tricks.
Hope anyone can second this, preferably with an actual audio interface like Apogee Ensemble, Motu, RME, Presonus, Focusrite, etc.

I have similar problem, my apple tv which has always worked properly with my Samsung tv will no longer play any audio after the latest 5.1 upgrade.

Welcome to the  discussion forums.
Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
Did you source patch the audio tracks?

Is there a way to get an iPod touch to play one audio track and stop.

Is there a way to get an iPad to play one audio track and stop.
I work in education and particularly music. Teachers are looking to create a playlist of selected track but only want the selected track to play then stop.
This allows them to talk to the class during presentation and not worry about having to stop playback mid discussion.
I've been successful doing this from appleTVs homeshared to a library by unchecking songs in the playlist. But It would be useful to instructors who have there own media on their device.

Thanks for a cognative answer TXMark.
For what its worth to any readers that work in education and would like this play once and stop 'feature'
I had great success in homeshareing a iTunes library of teaching material and creating topic specific playlist and used apple remote app to control an appletv connected to that homeshared library. As TXMark suggests, uncheck the songs in iTunes and the media will not automatically play the tracks in sequence.
note: if you have video media that you would like to have in the playlist, be sure its listed as a music video in the options of get info of track. otherwise the apple tv will not see the media in the playlist and will put it in the movies section of the library.
