Crossfades produce crackling sound and hesitations

For no obvious reason, out of the blue, all crossfades now produce a crackling sound (in and around it as well) and hestitations. So I have had to eliminate all crossfades from my sessions. Not good as you can imagine. It doesn't seem to affect mixdowns but it is impossible to work with during mixing and recording, so I now have no crossfades. What would cause this? I haven't changed anythng but there must be a setting to fix this.
Please help. Thanks!

I continue to have this condition and it is becoming very unworkable. I can't even have one crossfade or the crackling starts and even the timing slows down. I have tried every latency setting and it's set to the highest now (2024). Crossfades are a thing of the past for me, can you imagine, mixing without any crossfades.
Please, someone offer some solution. I've had great support on this forum before but lately it seems to be a desert, at least as far as my problems go. To reiterate, Audition 3 does not have this problem and runs smooth, fast, with no crackling. Then load Audition 6, and it's a big drag. I'm getting panicky as I have sessions. I just don't know what else to do.
Help!
Thanks!

Constant crackling sounds and Crashes Safari 4.02, SF 4.02 worse than SF 3

The system requirements say G5 macs are supported but
all i get from s afari is an aweful experience.

I feel like i want to go back to Safari 3, even if safair did make my computer produce sounds too. but it was less often.

Crackling sound and audiodg.exe problem in windows 7

Hi,
I suddenly ran into this problem with my Pavilion dv7. The music played by Windows Media Player as well as other player become slowed and crackled. My norton complained that the audiodg.exe occupied most of the CPU power.
I ran through a google search to find the solutions. But it seems none of them works. Someone suggests to disable the audio device enhancement. but mine has been disabled already. Someone suggestes to upgrade the driver, but mine is up to day. Anyone has met a similar problem?
My OS is window7 professional sp1
My audio device is IDT HD audio codec

Same problem w/ audiodg.exe /uses 100% of one core on my quad core and no diabling sound enchancements DOES NOT WORK
Same problems w/ crackling sound
system:
pavailon p7-1126s
windows 7 64 bit
If there is a soulution to this, A REAL SOULTION other than install a new sound card, someone, anyone please: post, msg me, email me or do all 3

Odd crackling sound and smoke?

I've just noticed today that when I lift my Macbook Pro 13" (2010 version) up, say towards me a weird crackling sound is made, I'm pretty sure it's not from the speakers, it's similar to the sound you get with a wire and there's a bad conncection or something. Also, I swear smoke or something similar came out of the gap bit by the keyboard, near the monitor if this makes sense? I think I'm still under the year warranty so would it be worth calling/going into an apple shop? I'm a bit worried!

Yeah I might have to if it continues, I mean, it doesn't seem to do it all the time, just every now and then, it's just really weird! If I did take it in how long do you think it would be before I got it back?

Crackling Sound and Apple Icon

Sometimes when I turn on my iPod Video it displays a silver apple icon on a black background. Is that normal. My second problem is a crackling sound the iPod sometimes emits before playing a sound. Can I fix that?

Yes the icon is normal if you haven't turned on your iPod for a while. It goes into a sort of hiberation after a period of time (12 or 14 hours I think) and takes slightly longer to start up. As to the crackling, have you tried different earphones in case they are causing it?

[Solved] Crackling sound in Wine

Hi community,
I'm having some trouble with Wine's sound output. In all Wine applications (including winecfg) I get crackling sound and many of these lines:
ALSA lib pcm.c:7832:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
All non-Wine applications work fine. I know that the problem appeared some time ago, but since I didn't use Wine for a pretty long time, I cannot tell exactly when it appeared. Currently the latest version from multilib/ is installed (1.6rc3-1). Here is the list of opt deps (installed ones are marked as such):

I need to say that I'm using the fix for crackling noise in Skype: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sk … -bit_OS.29 (adding "tsched=0" to some line in /etc/pulse/default.pa). Trying to revert the fix left me without sound at all for some reason.
The .asoundrc (nothing changed as far as I remember):
$ cat ~/.asoundrc
pcm.dmixout {
# Just pass this on to the system dmix
type plug
slave {
pcm "dmix"
defaults.pcm.rate_converter "samplerate_best"
Thanks for any hint,
PhotonX

Thanks for your reply! I don't think, I use dmix, the .asoundrc is some default one (might actually be a pretty old one since I tend to carry my /home partition over to new system installs). I tried to remove it with no luck. pulseaudio-alsa has been already installed with following /etc/asound.conf:
# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
ctl.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
# vim:set ft=alsaconf:
Since nothing changed after removing .asoundrc, maybe this asound.conf has been used all the time rather than the .asoundrc?
Concerning the tsched=0 thing, the driver is snd_hda_intel (with snd_hda_codec_realtek), the card is an ALC887-VD. The Alsa page you mentioned states that indeed some cards with snd_intel_hda (seems to be the same as snd_hda_intel) driver have problems with timer-based scheduling, but doesn't specify which ones exactly.
So now I'm following your last hint and building wine-multimedia. It had lib32-libcl as make dependency which made conflicts with lib32-catalyst-utils, so I now try building wine-multimedia with lib32-libcl removed from the makedepends list, let's see whether it builds, it takes a while. Will report back as soon as I have any news.

K7T Turbo R Limited Edition and crackleing sound

I started getting a crackling sound recently. I never had that problem before. The only thing I can think of that I have done that may have started it was to update the bios and the via chipset drivers. I tried to reinstall the 442 drivers (only the pci part) but no change. I reinstalled the 443.
I read in other threads that it could be either a latency problem. Also moving the sblive sound card could do fix the sound. I don’t seem to have any latency timing adjustments in the bios and I tried moving the sound card to number 3 and the number 6 slot with no luck. I have tried a couple of 686 bug fixes and they didn’t work. But I have also read where that wouldn’t work so I removed them.
Is there anything that might work?
Win XP
AMD 1800+
Gforce 4 mx 440
512 meg 133 ram
60 gig HD Maxtor 7200
40 gig HD Maxtor 7200
Promise Ultra 100 controller (Couldn’t get the onboard raid controller to work.)
SbLive 5.1
Actiontec 56k PCI call waiting modem
Asus 50 cd
Mitsumi 16 speed cdrw
Iomega zip 100

install "PCI Latency" patch for VIA chipsets

ISight makes croaking sounds and produces audio dropouts in recordings

Hi!
This is weird and hopefully not normal?!?
My new iSight made these short cracking sounds (kind of like scratching over sheet of paper) from the beginning.
Once when starting up the Mac and all along during video recording or conferencing.
That alone wouldn't be such a big problem but audio is very weak too, since it produces drop-outs and other weird noise especially during conferencing or even just during skype phoning (no video).
While trying to record that sound (iMic) I found out that its not possible because other Audio In dropped out too, while iSight is croaking :-S
Of course I tried out everything I could and the problem is still there even when the iSight is the only peripheral (USB and FW) on my G5.
ISight is the perfect webcam and makes awesome picture and sound quality besides the mentioned issues. Hopefully I don't have to send it back.
Thanks for your help buddies!

How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional should help you find out whether you need to have your new iSight repaired or exchanged under warranty.
If your G5 is otherwise reliable and stable, because you are having the same problem with your iSight when driven by different apps, your iSight, iSight's connecting cable, or your G5s firewire or connections would seem to be the most likely suspects.

How can I get my dad's iMac to produce typewriter sounds? He's visually impaired and it really helps him.

You may wish to contact Matias (www.matias.ca). They sell a "Tactile Pro" USB board that is built like the old and wonderful "Nimitz" ADB keyboard of the 1990's. Original Tactile boards produced that typewriter "clack." Don't know if this feature has been continued from looking at their web site. Therefore you should contact them directly.

Help with Audigy 2 Zs and crackling sound ..

For the past 5 months or so ( not long after I got the product ) I have been getting this periodic issue with the sound ...
I'll start to notice a popping and crackling sound coming from the left channel when loud sounds issue from the game ( multiple games ). After a while I figured ou ttha tI could :
a: Reset all my settings to Default , Then reconfigure my surround
or
b: Reinstall and/or patchthe current driver set ...
Both seem to fix the issue for some time then it all returns within a month or so .... It's a rela pain to have to keep configuring my Audio settings every month.
My system specs are
Asus A7N8X DLX Rev. 02
AMD 3000+
Gig Corsair XMS
BFG 6800GT 256
Audigy 2 ZS
Raptor 74 Gig
and some Altec Landsing Speakers ( I forgot the model number )
Any idea what could be causing this ?
Thanks in advance.

I got the fix for you twellons. Just go in the audio control panel and mute the midi/synth in the panel and you will have the fix. My system specs are close toy yours amd 2800xp, nforce 2 a7n8x dlx ver .04 and a original audigy card. Now creative has to address this issue in new drivers. Also download the demo of contract jack and when you load the game and the game menus comes up, scroll through the options in that menu like new game, load game quickly and you will here that popping noise in only the left speaker. and when you do that fix that i mentioned above, no more popping . So try that out and please get back to me and tell me if it worked or not. That issue was tough to figure out.
P.S. You owe me

My left speaker is not working properly, and also making a crackling sound.

I just bought this computer about a month ago and already having problems. Such as my computer shutting down on its own and now the speakers just started today. It is only the left speaker that starts cracking and then goes completely out, onlt hearing the right side speaker. This is the first time I have ever purchased an HP, and I may have to return this and go back to using Dells.

I even had this too, try to go to sounds your speaker and adjust the left and right speaker, the left speaker without the right makes a crackling sound, the right speaker is opposite of that.
If this cannot work try to go to a computer technician to fix the problem
I'm actually want to fix this through a technician, but he's the one to fix the speaker.
Hope that's alright.

I was trying to adjust the latency issues i was having. something happened and i hear a very loud squeal. deathening.now when i listen to playbach thru my headphones i hear crackling sounds. if i were to bounce and playback thru i-tunes, i don't hear it.

if i record w/out monitoring and playback on i-tunes. sounds great. monitoring recording thru headphones gets a crackling sound that has a bit of delay or reverb. i use tascam us-122mkII interface. help!

Crackling sound, Electrocuted? Popping, and low frame rates.

First, I hear a crackling sound in my headphones, and you may think I am crazy, but I get nauseas and feel a slight tingle, as though I am getting shocked.
The fram rates drop to about 7fps while I am playing games, and I hear the noise and feel this. I first noticed this when playing World of Warcraft, then, after shutting the game, I noticed it continued while I was using Ventrilo, and then even after it continued.
It seems to stop after 20 seconds soemtimes, and other times can last for several minutes. I have taken my headphones off and even unplugged them, but notice the popping continues in the internal speakers.
I do not think it is the game, as it happens outside the game, and even outside ventrilo. I am not sure why my headphones would / could shock me, but I swear that is what I am feeling. I tried making sure I was plugged into a surge protector, and have tried other plugs with it happening the same.
It does not always happen. Some nights it will not happen at all, and others, it seems to happen every 30 minutes or so.
I am using a MacBook Pro 17" non glossy. 2.16 Core Duo. I have 2Gigs of Ram, and other than this, the computer works great.
PLEASE, if anyone else has had this problem, let me know. My FPS in game go from 50, down to 8fps, and in general the entire computer comes to a crawl.
Thank you,
Nicholas
