Digital clik noise thru int-speakers when After Effects is open

Hey.
I've tried to keyword search results but run into alot of drive related probs and not what i'm looking for. If this has been talked about please point me int eh right direction.
I have a brand new MBP 17" with all the latest hardware upgrades. I've had some surprising undesirable results here and there but nothing crazy.
When i open after effects noticed that there is a notable (yet quiet) digital clicking noise that comes form the internal speakers.
Symptoms/Observations:
-Im confident its not from the hdrive (can listen to that part and hear drive fine)
-*When HP's are plugged in clicking goes away & PERFORMANCE INCREASES
-VERY sluggish performance from the program (even accessing menus is crazy slow)
thanks!
/josh

upd: changing audio hardware settings in AE FROM 'sys default' TO 'builtin output' seems to remedy things!
not entirely sure if this is solved, any insight still welcome.

Photoshop CC 2014 crashes when After Effects is open (ntdll.dll module failure)

Recently, I upgraded from CC to CC 2014. Once I was satisfied with 2014, I uninstalled CC. Since then, I've been having a major issue where if I try and use Photoshop CC 2014 and After Effects CC 2014 simultaneously, either Photoshop or both will crash.
The event viewer gives me this:
Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 15.2.2.310, time stamp: 0x5480338c
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7601.18247, time stamp: 0x521eaf24
Exception code: 0xc0000024
Fault offset: 0x00000000000cd7e8
Faulting process id: 0xe58
Faulting application start time: 0x01d02c8024742b4a
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Photoshop.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
Report Id: 6a2ab0d5-9873-11e4-91b7-14dae9d81d5a
Photoshop generally doesn't give me an error message, but when After Effects crashes, it's almost never the same error message twice, though frequently mentions Dynamic Link in the message.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Creative Cloud multiple times, including using the Cleaner tool. I'd really like to avoid having to wipe my hard drive and reinstall my OS, like support immediately told me to do.
Running Win7 64-bit Ultimate, 32GB RAM, Intel i5-2500k, NVIDIA GeForce 560 Ti. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After Effects wont open error message

Hello.
My After effects wont open. I've read many forums and info that others have written about it not opening. Stuff about erasing fonts, deactivating fonts, then also, finding folders /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS4/MediaCore---> which was empty and had nothing to erase or do anything with http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/973961 ...Still nothing.
this is the error.
Last log message was: <140735190438672> <EAMountPoints> <0> Error: mount point list is empty
My computer is a brand new mac book pro. Tip Top of the line. Not sure what other details i should give.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
UGH boooo
thanks

I saw that there were a series of questions i need to answer in order to get the right answers.
What exact version of After Effects? Include the minor version number (e.g., After Effects CS5.5 with the 10.5.1 update). Do not just say "After Effects with the latest updates"; give the specific version number.
12.2 - after effects CC - CS6
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
yes. i even uninstalled and reinstalled the newest...again.
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Mac OSX 10.9.1
Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected.
2.3 GHZ Intel Core i716GB 1600 MHZ DDR3Macintosh HDprocessor #: 1Zero external drives connected.I use my local connection with my desktop to share files. Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro11,3 Processor Name: Intel Core i7 Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 6 MB Memory: 16 GB
What versions of drivers for your graphics hardware do you have installed (including CUDA driver and driver for display adapter)?
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MBInstalled CUDA
Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)?
NO
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
Last log message was: <140735190438672> <EAMountPoints> <0> Error: mount point list is empty.Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes. although there is another window that says A LOT MORE!!
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
trying to open it.
Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time?
It has worked for about 4 or 5 days. It was even working when i was doing the same action prior to the last time it stopped working. I was uploading a file from my other computers file. Which i had done many times throughout the day. As i work on one computer and when i have to leave and bring my laptop with me i do so. Because i work on my computer all day long. Desktop or laptop.
Do you have QuickTime installed. (You should.) If so, what version? The answer should be specific, such as "QuickTime 7.6.2".
10.3
What other software are you running?
iWork - Numbers
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
Yes. I've since deleted them but i'm not sure where else to find the files if they're still around. ?
Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects?
Not sure i know what that is?
Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both?
its just not opening
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing?
if that is the Double line play button then yes.
Are you using the ray-traced 3D renderer?
Not sure what that is.
If the problem is with output, give your exact output settings (both render setting and output module settings). Screenshots help.
What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking?
Thanks for any help you can give me:)

After Effects error opening sound componant (-2166)

Hi
Im getting this error message( After Effects error-opening sound componant (-2166 )
When i go to render a comp that icludes several sound files (WAV) the render stops 80% of the time.is there a way to fix this.
Im rendering to Quicktime based on losssles or AVI based on lossless
Windows XP service pack 3
3 gigs ram
quad core
Quicktime pro latest version installed november 2009

This could happen for any of several reasons, including the sound files using sample rates or a number of channels that After Effects can't handle. After Effects is not the best at working with audio. I recommend converting the audio files to another format (such as AIFF), ensuring that the sample rate is something standard, making sure that the files are just plain old stereo, and trying again.

Error: After Effect cannot open becaujse TBB.dll is missing

Hi, I had a problem with AECC when trying to open it it said the error: After Effect cannot open becaujse TBB.dll is missing from you computer. Please Reinstall. I thought "ok, if I only reinstall it it is not a problem" but I came to another problem: How do I uninstall it? It does not show up in the control panel and on the CC Manager it says it is up to date.

This not an answer.
Mylenium's answer is a good one. Granted, you might not like the answer, but it is an answer that will solve your problem.
Here's how to uninstall through the Creative Cloud software: Creative Cloud Help | Uninstall Apps
That might fix AE, however, it sounds from your posts that Photoshop isn't working either, but your post isn't very clear. You say something about Fireworks too...
More info about your specific setup might be useful.
Again, it sounds like something got corrupted on your machine, so uninstalling all your software, running the CC Cleaner tool, and reinstalling is a pretty good suggestion if the regular uninstall/reinstall doesn't work.
helpless2014 wrote:
and why are there more than one version offered for install at the same time??
For troubleshooting, for client compatibility, for workflow requirements, and for many other reasons. On my home machine I have AE CS5, CS6, CC, and CC 2014 all installed and am happy that I can download and install older versions of other Adobe software if I need them too.

After Effects error: opening movie - you do not have permission to open this file (-54)

Hi all,
I'm new to after effects. I have just started receiving the following error every time I try to render my movie:
"After Effects error: opening movie - you do not have permission to open this file (-54)".
Yesterday morning, I was able to render movies, however, after I did Apple's latest update I've started receiving the following error. What is happening is that I'm trying to render a movie. It gets to a certain point in the movie (about 0;00;16;09) and then this error pops up. This morning I've tried to repair the permissions with disk utility, but that doesn't seem to have helped.
I've searched Google and the Adobe support forums with no luck. Please help.
Thanks in advance for you help,
William

Have been able to downgrade to QT 7.3 using Pacifist. Did NOT require re-install of OS.

Now that I am back to QT7.3, iTunes7.6 is now asking me to update QT to 7.4 in order to be able to view the new movie rental feature of the iTunes store... which sorta sheds some light on the no permission error. Now that iTunes is renting, not just selling, movies, QT is now all fussy about ownership and permissions. Just a guess.

Fractal Noise-Evolution not working in After Effects.

Pretty fresh to after effects. Following this tutorial until I notice that Evolution wasn't having an effect and I noticed the numbers were red. I assume it's a limitation of my computer in some way but I'm not sure what or how to resolve it.

We need more details. If you apply fractal noise to a layer and animate evolution then you should see a change. If you downloaded a sample project file then there may be an expression attached to evolution. That's the only way that the numbers would not be able to be changed. Select your layer with Fractal Noise applied and press the e key twice to reveal any expressions.

After Effects CS6 opening with a lot of alarms related to effects redundancies with other programs

After intalling Premiere pro CS6 and After effects CS6, I installed add-ons for these programs (newblue, boris, prodad...). When I open After Effects it gives me 38 cases of effects (Detail Enhancer, noise Reducer...) redundant in other programs, telling me to get rid of them.
When I check these effects in my programs, they are mainly .aex files, located in Premiere Pro CS6, Adobe Common Plug-ins, NewBlue Video effects collections 1 to 6. Some of them also exist in avid /pinnacle studio programs (my former video tools I still use to close previous video projects) before concentrating in Adobe CS6 suite. I don't know what to remove in a safe way. Premiere pro CS6 doesn't worry about redundancies ! Only After Effects...

Where, exactly, are the redundant files?
Did you use the installers for these plug-ins or install them manually?

My After Effects wont open!

It keeps saying "You have at least one output module template that refers to a missing output plug-in. Please check your output module templates

I have the CS6 Creative Suite and for some reason After Effects, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro won't open. I've never had this problem before and I'm not aware of any updates that I am missing. I'm on a Windows 7 OS. I recently took my computer to Best Buy to check the battery and when I got it back I was having issues opening the programs.
When I try to open After Effects for example it says
"After Effects warning: Unknown Exception" then
"After Effects AEGP Plug-in AEDynamic Link Server: Unknown error in Adobe Dynamic Link. (5027::12) then
"You have at least one output module template that refers to a missing output plug-in. Please check your output module templates) then
"After Effects warning: Unknown Exception" then
"After Effects can't continue unexpected failure during application startup" then
Another box comes up which says "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Lib (I guess Runtime Library) Program C:\ Program Fi... R6025 - pure virtual function call"
I have no clue where to even check for output modules or plug-ins. Im at a lost.
When I try to open Photoshop it says "Unable to continue because of a hardware system error, but this error is unrecoverable"
Premiere Pro won't even open at all. Like period.

After Effects only opens the top bar.

Just recently I have started up after effects cs6, and the start-up and the new project will come up. But when i click, create new project, the top bar only comes up.(the bar that has the red x and the yellow - and the green +) I tried uninstallin it and re-installing it but it continues! Please Help! I am on a mac version 10.6.8
You can only see the bar at the top

I have seen this occasionally and the solution is to delete the preferences file and re-launch. This is easily done by holding down Alt/Option + Ctrl/Cmnd + shift and clicking the AE icon on your dock to open AE. That should fix your problem. If it does not, reboot the computer and try deleting the preferences again before you open AE...

Adobe After Effects Wont Open

The application wont open, even after the newest update was installed. It says "The application "Adobe After Effects CC" can't be opened. error 10810" How do I fix this?!?!

Hi StevenCraigSmith,
Could you please try to uninstall and reinstall After Effects CC and let us know if it helps.

Yosemite 10.10 and After Effects CC - Opens, but only the render que.

Downloaded the Yosemite beta 2 the other day, not thinking about how all programs would work or not. So, all adobe programs open just fine, except for After effects. I've heard others having problems opening it - my problem is bit different.
After effects opens up, but almost all menu options is greyed out, and nothing is clickable. The only window that opens is the render que. Is there any way to fix this? I can't find anything on google.
Another problem is that the ray tracing doesn't seem to find my GPU. I got my Geforce GT 750M included in that Ray tracing list file, if that makes any difference.

You have opened After Effects in Render Engine mode.
Don't double-click the icon in the application folder named Adobe After Effects Render Engine.
Remove any file named ae_render_only_node.txt in your Documents folder, as detailed here:
