CS5 doesn't offer basic audio functionality (playback stops on page turn)

I would like to place a sound file and in the exported pdf have the sound file play (via button or playback toolbar), without stopping on page turn. To me, this is a very basic function to ask for. But guess what? CS5 can't do it. Turn the page and the sound stops. Is a workaround converting the sound to a video file? Possibly, but any converted file (to avi or mp4 containers for example) gets an error message when I tried to place it. My question is, can anyone make this basic function work? If not, my second question is, where would I go to submit this issue to developers. Also, I understand it's possible to address this issue on acrobat, but this is not feasible when we're talking about hundreds of audio files in a document.

Hi publicduck, I'm not sure if you meant you embedded swfs or if you exported from indesign to swf with an html file. But your suggestion helped, because after being unable to find any audio format that didn't stop playing on page turn (without the use of a playback controller), I tried exporting to swf instead of pdf, and for some reason, in swf, opened as an html file in firefox, I was able to click on the button to start the mp3, and turn the page, while the mp3 continued. So thanks!

ADOBE Media Encoder CS5 doesn't recognize LPCM audio

I have a video .m2ts with 3 audio tracks, 2 are AC3 and one is LPCM. I have created a new .m2ts file with tsMuxer with only LPCM audio track, but the audio of this file is not recognized but Adobe Media Encoder, who tells me that it has "mono" audio. Windows media player fails to recnize too, and plays no audio. Lokking at properties of the file in windows, it doesn't show any audio propertuy, like as it had no audio.
Howeaver the audio is there, because if I open this file with PoerDVD9 it plays correctly.
If I select one of the AC3 audio tracks instead that the one with LPCM with tsMuxer, the new file player correctly and is recgnized but AME. What's the problem???

any solution?
the files i'm trying to convert:
powerDVD 9 does play audio correctly
VLC media player does play the audio correctly
but WMP does NOT play audio correctly and AME does not see that audio at all
happens with:
DTS
LPCM

Premiere CS5 doesn't import AVCHD audio

Sorry out there, but I do need some help!
Premiere CS5 wont import the audio of AVCHD clips (1920x1080 50i) shot with a Panasonic AG-HMC151E.
Is it possible I miss an AC3 codec? Thanx

If the AC3 is fully Dolby-compliant, the full-paid version of PrPro will have not issue with it. I would assume that your camera WILL produce fully Dolby-compliant AC3's.
One of the issues with some AVCHD cameras is that they allow the user to record as DD 5.1 SS (6-channel), and PrPro will Import those into a 5.1 Audio Track. The rub comes with the Export from PrPro. It requires the Minnetonka Audio SurCode DD 5.1 SS encoder plug-in (costs extra), to Export as DD 5.1 SS, but PrPro will do a mix-down to 2-channel just fine.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - if one DOES go for the SurCode plug-in, be sure to buy it from within PrPro, as they will get an Adobe discount below the price from the Minnetonka Audio site. It's only about US$50, but that counts.

Pages doesn't offer HTML, how can I get a Pages doc to be embedded?

How can I get a Pages document embedded into an email? I do not want to turn it into a pdf... what are my options. I have Freeway 5 Express if this helps.
How-to's and suggestions welcome.

What exactly do you mean? Do you just mean you want to be sure it shows as an inline attachment? You can't really control that, if so, since it depends on the recipient's mail program/server/personal settings. This is true for real HTML mail, too.
There is nothing to guarantee that if you could easily convert a pages document to HTML, the recipient would not receive it as just an attachment. In any case, I suppose you could copy/paste into a freeway file, publish that to the desktop and attach it, but really, PDF is a much, much better choice.

Audio stops playing on page turn

hello,
Hope any of you can help me. I added a audio file to a page, in a chapter. I want to the audio to start playing when the page is opened, I selected the "play on page load" option, BUT I also want to the audio to continue playing whilst I flip through the other pages in the chapter. For some mysterouis reason, the audio stops when I flip to the next page. The option "stop on page turn" is not selected.
Does anyone have a workaround to get this fixed? I need it really badly.
Thank you for your help!
Marl

Thank you for your response Bob!
I just found out, by accident!, that when you keep smooth scrolling on it works! -- The audio keeps playing just fine when browsing throuhg the next pages. Now the only thing I have to find out is how I can keep the smooth scrolling option in horizontal ONLY.

Epub headache - is it possible to stop audio on a page turn?

I have many audio mp3'd in my ebook, but want either teh audio to stop on page turn, or other mp3's to turn off when a new mp3 is played,
is there any way to do this?
thanks!!!
James

If you're working with EPUB3 and doing multimedia, I think you should definitely get on the train and start using InDesign CC 2014. The train is picking up speed. CS6 is more than two years behind.
I don't think there's any built-in control for what you want; it may require monkeying with the HTML, CSS and JavaScript manually.

ITunes cannot recognize touch/audio/video playback will not function

All right, I asked apple support about this and didn't even get the dignity of a response, so here goes. My computer crashed a while ago, and when we rebooted it, this started: Whenever I plug my iPod into the computer, I get a message saying "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again." So I followed those instructions, and I still get the same result.
A reason I think this might be happening is because I installed the iPod Touch update (not the one you have to pay for, but the one that puts that grey strip across the bottom of the home page), then the computer crashed. So maybe the update is installed on the iPod but not on iTunes? I'm not even sure how to get the update again to be honest.
There are a number of things that we have not reinstalled yet on the computer, like our audio/video playback. Whenever iTunes is started I get this: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not function properly." And it doesn't--we have no sound on the computer right now. That is something I would like to change ASAP, I'm just dying to hear some new music.
And when I say we have no sound, I mean zero sound capabilites: iTunes, Windows Media Player, even the internet, there is nothing at all.
I really don't know much about computers, and I just didn't know where else to turn. Thanks to anyone who thinks they can help.

Hey dbsabres06,
Use the steps in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698 to uninstall and reinstall the Apple software on the computer. The Apple Mobile Device support is the driver that allows the iPhone and iPod touch to be recognized.
For the audio configuration issue, try the tips in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304424
Not hearing audio from system events, or applications like windows media player might be a driver issue.
Try running your windows updates or checking your computer manufactures website for updates.

Error message after upgrade to iTunes 11: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." At this point my PC running XP loses all audio.

Several attempts to upgrade to iTunes 11 have failed. After an upgrade to 11 the error message reads: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." At this point--after the upgrade to iTunes 11--my PC running Windows XP loses audio playback for all functions--in iTunes, in the browser and the volume icon disappears from the System Tray. Only by removing iTunes 11, and then using System Restore to turn back the OS settings can I return the PC to normal functioning.
I did that. I reinstalled iTunes 10.5. Everything seemed fine, but when I try to plug in and copy a CD to my iPhone 4S an error message reads roughly: 'iPhone 4S requires iTunes 10.5 or higher to work.'
What might be the problem with my audio configuration?
Why doesn't my iPhone 4S work with iTunes 10.5? It used to work with iTunes 10.5.
Please advise.

I bought several season of a tv series in the German Apple Store. Now they are gone due to technical problems (no backup). How do I get them back? ATTENTION: Meanwhile I moved to Switzerland and the Swiss Store doesn't offer tv series.

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
I'll hit a few of your questions - others will have to do others since I'm not up on some of the issues you ask about
4) is there an easy way to review/delete items (in 6, i run a basic slideshow and delete on the fly -- is this still workable in 7?)?
Yes
5) Are there significant functionality benefits of 7 over 6 (e.g., does the noise function or shadow/highlight really offer significant benefits? The Events seems obvious, but I'm more interested in "under the hood" experience
Yes
Loseless editing - web galleries - events
a) Is import any faster? As my library is growing in size, the import is getting overly slow
It is fine for me (only you can compare to your current) - I have 20542 items using 26.3 GB in 271 events
7) Is there a full-screen edit mode?
yes
8) Can you configure events so that it's not just by day?
yes
9) Is 6's "roll" structure as mirrored in the file system still available in the Events approach, or is the database structure that once you've converted a library, there's no going back?
Events replace rolls (if your rolls are named - NOT the default rollxxx name - they will come across as is - to me events are rolls with much more capability and a new name - some people are VERY putoff by the change (but most love it) for reasons that I simply do not comprehend
10) What is the effective (or advised) maximum library size? I've probably got over 60GB of images in my libraries now, with 20,000 images or so. If 7 can readily digest them (and preserve all my albums, etc.), then I'd love to combine them into one, unless that will kill performance, make the database unstable, drive backups into interminable waits, etc.
The advertised max is 250,000 photos - I have about the same number of photos as you in about 1/3 the space - there are a few users here with libararies your size. With iPhoto Library Manager it is easy to maintain multiple libraries if you choose

How to disable the new Bluetooth Audio function?

After updating to OS 3.0 i have an annoying problem with my iPhone connected to a Kenwood car radio (via USB in the glove box):
1. Connect iPhone with car radio via USB
2. Turnin on the radio - now it starts playing songs from the iPhone
3. Now the iPhone connects via Bluetooth to the radio (for use of the handsfree set!)
4. The addressbook is downloaded by the radio via the Bluetooth connection
Till there it worked fine under OS 2.2.1 - i was able to listen to the iPod and to make/receive calls! But now there's step 5:
5. The Bluetooth Audio function is activated - and i can hear no more sound although the playback of the song is resumed!
There's a workaround for this issue: I can tap on the iPod-Icon on the iPhone which says that the iPhone is connected to an equipment. There i can tap on a bluetooth icon in the lower right corner in which i can select the device for audio output: Bluetooth or Dock.
This is really annoying (even more due to the bad qualitiy of the bluetooth audio), so where can i disable this new "feature"?!

I too am having this problem. It seems as though I also have to unplug and re-plugin my iPhone dock connector to make it switch to the USB output I need for my JVC KD-R800 receiver in my car. I can't seem to find a way to permanently disable A2DP functionality on either my iPhone or my Car's audio receiver.
We really do need some sort of option to either disable A2DP altogether or setup a "priority" list of items. Personally, I'd love to have the iPhone output in an order something like the following:
1st - Dock Connector (USB)
2nd - Bluetooth A2DP
3rd - Headphones / iPhone Speaker
Hopefully someone find out of a permanent workaround or solution soon. I just got this new receiver for my car and it messes everything up!

This message recently popped up on my PC - "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly." What does this mean and how to fix ??

Hi Everyone - recently this message popped up on my PC, when I was trying to import cd's into the iTunes library and then onto my iPod - "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly." Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it ?? I am not fantastically PC savvy, so any information explained fully and all steps to follow to get my music playing again would be great !! Thanks, SC

Hi B, thanks so much for helping me troubleshoot !!
Ok, so when I went in to check the Audio tab of the Sounds and Audio Device Properties, I found the following:-
* Sound Playback Default Device = No Playback Devices.
* Sound Recording Default Device = No Playback Devices.
* MIDI Music Playback Default Device = No MIDI Playback Devices.
All text in this drop-down box were light grey, and therefore unable to be selected or altered.
I also tried playing a cd through Windows Media player, to see if I could get sound a different way. When I put the cd in and clicked on Play, the following message appeared, "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your PC, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functoning properly."
Any ideas ? I had sound previously, but then a work colleague re-built the PC to add more space to the hard drive, and since then, no sound. I know this may now not just be an iTunes issue, but I would appreciate any assistance you can offer.
Thanks again,
Shell

Intermittent stalling during audio/video playback

This issue is driving me up the wall. I hope someone can help.
Often, while listening to (for example) iTunes, playback stalls and there is silence for several seconds. If I listen to music for an hour, I guess I might experience the issue anywhere from 3-6 (?) times — though sometimes I can go for more than an hour without it happening. But: it doesn't just happen with iTunes — the same thing happens from time to time when using VLC for video playback (usually accompanied by some video artifacts), or HTML5 video playback within Safari. (I don't have Flash Player installed, though I occasionally use Google Chrome for Flash content; if I recall correctly I think the same thing sometimes happens with Flash videos/audio within Chrome too.)
Along the same lines, now and then I notice that when attempting an action within Mail.app, a task will appear in the Activity Window that's something like, 'waiting for the hard drive,' with a barber pole and stop sign. This will delay my action for several seconds. I suspect this is a different manifestation of the same underlying problem that causes the playback stalling.
I DON'T typically get the swirling beach ball of doom when any of these things happen. Mouse pointer does NOT freeze, and the system seems responsive in all other ways during these episodes.
I'm pretty Mac savvy, and I make sure to do regular hard drive maintenance (verifying volume with Disk Utility, rebuilding directory with DiskWarrior, etc.). My startup partition is only about 2/3 full. This week I used iDefrag to defrag the hard drive, thinking it might fix the problem, but nope it still happens. SMART diagnostics have never shown a problem.
When researching this issue on the web, some folks have suggested keeping an eye on the log files (Console.app), and Activity Monitor. I definitely haven't found anything in the log files that coincides with incidents of stalling. And nothing in particular seems to 'spike' in CPU activity in the Activity Monitor at the same time as the stalling; at least not that I've noticed.
I'm pretty good about keeping apps up to date, and I don't have too many apps running in the background. But the problem persists even when I've quit everything else except the app that's doing the audio/video playback.
This has been going on for a long time, and nothing I've tried has helped. Any advice or suggestions, anyone??
- Gord

Checking Console.app messages once again, the following lines seem to coincide with at least some of the stalling incidents:

Blackmagic removed desktop audio functionality from Declink cards on Windows.... now what?

So, Blackmagic removed desktop audio functionality from Declink cards on Windows.... now what? After Effects is not programmed to talk to Decklink cards directly on the audio part, there is no ASIO, or mercury playback for the audio part, Blackmagic says it was never intended to be used as an audio card, yet up to last version of version 9 provided an audio driver for it, as a result, now any application not written to talk to the Decklink card directly, can't use the card for audio playback. I'm wondering if they think that the people that uses After Effects don't need audio at all.... rewiring all the rooms in the post productions facilities that had all the audio of all the system going out via the decklink cards it is not an option.
I'm wondering if Adobe is aware of this and if it have plans to support direct connection to the Decklink cards on the audio side of After Effects. This is a huge problem for all the people that uses AE and Decklink on windows and wants a profesiona quality audio monitoring. Audition, Premiere, all of those can work now, but not AE. I remember some time ago AE used to support ASIO, but I do not see that option anymore.

Adobe talks with Blackmagic regularly and we were recently made aware of this change. It is, clearly, not something under our control but we can provide feedback to them about your responses to the change.
You are correct, After Effects does not play back audio through Mercury Transmit like Premiere Pro does. This was something we considered for After Effects CC 2014 (CC), but at the time we were developing this release there was no urgent need to do so, and this would require significant work to re-wire how After Effects plays back audio. We will continue to talk with Blackmagic and evaluate what the best plan is going forward.
Please don't hesitate to file feature requests for us about these issues: http://adobe.ly/feature_request

Video podcasts - no audio only playback

Hi,
I have the original iPhone and am a very active podcast user. Several of the podcasts I frequent are video format and it appears with the new 2.0 firmware the ability for audio only playback of video podcasts has been lost. It used to be that if you accessed a video podcast in iPod mode from More/Podcasts they would playback audio only. This was tremendously helpful as I often want to check email, surf Safari etc while listening to these podcasts. Now they will only playback in Video mode so if you navigate out of iPod mode to any other apps the podcast turns off. This was also helpful for saving battery life when walking around or unable to view the video.
Is everyone else using 2.0 firmware experiencing this? Does this sound like bug or lost feature?
Apple please fix/re-enable what was a great feature!
I appreciate hearing from others.
Thanks,
Steve

It seems to be doing the same on mine. I also used this feature and loved it. What's worse is that you can't turn off the screen with the sleep button, as that turns off the podcast playback too. So it seems you must be playing the video in order to hear it (wasting battery if your phone is in your pocket).
I can only guess they removed it as people got confused over why their video podcast was playing back in audio only. Make it an option that we can choose at least, rather than reduce the functionality this way.
PS. While I'm complaining, why is there still no "Shuffle by Album" option...

Audio playback stopping when adjust level on timeline

hello,
I am trying to adjust basic audio levels during playback from the timeline. I have been able to do this before, but now when I move the purple bar up or down, the audio level does not change, it plays for another second or two then stops. Has anyone else been experiencing this? It never did this before. Thought I did upgrade to the latest OS, might that be the problem? Thanks for any help.

the problem actually comes in when I am using the Euphonix MC Control interface. It is a digital audio console that interfaces with FCP to adjust audio live with real faders.
It seems that even when I am not use the console though, the audio levels cannot be adjusted during playback. Even using the audio mixing window, I have had no luck.
On my laptop though it works. any thoughts?
