Distracting audio popping in T61, and no idea why!

Hey,
My laptop had been giving me trouble, so I recently did a restore to factory settings and started from scratch. Now, everything works pretty much perfectly, except the small audio popping issues I had before seem way, way worse now. I used a DPC latency checker and found out that mine is hovering around 3300 or so, with frequent spikes to 78000 (the popping is extremely noticable then), which from all my research is way too high.
Is there any easy fix for this?

Yea at first I thought maybe after it was on for a While you could see something but it Sounds Like your Display is Shot)  I was going to Ask how old it was but i found at the bottom of your post this phone is a Replacement phone  Yikes somebody else's trouble that was sent in to Verizon then Sent on to you. 
That's why I'm not in Favor of the there Replacement Phones Program)  You may get a Phone that will go to the End of your Contract and then again you may get a piece of  I can't say with out get Moderated..
Well what i would DW is I would take it to your Local Verizon and see if they can Replace it for ya )  I know it'll be for the same possible Model but they may Step you up a Model.. You Just have to Check with the Store an see Hopefully they'll Warrant it for the Display   Good Luck.. b33

  • Broken Phone and No Idea Why...

    I have an android Samsung Galaxy...not sure of the exact model. Anyway, tonight I posted a picture to Instagram which was successful. I then tried to scroll down to view recent photos and the screen suddenly froze and then began to change to a lighter color like it was fading. I then took the battery out (I'm used to this because it freezes constantly) and when I put it back in, instead of getting the Samsung logo like I normally do, the screen begins to fill with little pixels of color. The screen fills in and then changes from light to dark to light colors. No matter how many times I take the battery out and put it back in, I get this same thing. I even tried plugging it in--the phone doesn't charge and I get the same thing. Anyone have any experience with this or any idea what might be wrong? I am so sick of this phone breaking on me...I just got a replacement two months ago because the button to turn the phone on and off broke. It is just getting ridiculous at this point.

  • T410 - high DPC latency in ACPI.sys on BIOS update (leads to audio pops and crackles)

    I recently updated my Thinkpad T410's BIOS because the fan wasn't working properly. The fan is working fine now, but ever since the BIOS update I've been experiencing severe audio pops and crackles. I used the tool LatencyMon to inspect, and the chief culprit seems to be ACPI.sys, with execution times as long as 10ms.
    I've tried disabling all the power management options in the BIOS and changing everything to max performance. I've also tried disabling other various devices such as the network adapters, but nothing seems to help. Any idea?

    Hi agrilledfish,
    Is your BIOS 3.03?
    I found a post on MixVibes regarding audio drops:
    Audio drops/USB problems
    You can try to disable ACPI.sys in device manager or uninstall and reinstall the software.

  • OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:

    OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:
    The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
    Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
    Quite annoying. I restored the mini from a recent backup to 10.4.9. Problem gone.
    I'm glad I test updates on the mini before applying them to my Intel iMac 24. I guess I'll just hide & watch what happens before doing any more updates.
    Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:
    Guys/Gals (OS X Engineers):
    Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
    Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
    There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on the laptop line.
    And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
    Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".
    Crikey!

    Libby,
    Backup is unable to make a restorable by Disk Utility backup. You can restore pieces of the software as outlined in my FAQ about backing up user data:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    But to be able to restore a backup with Disk Utility, you need a cloning utility to have made the backup.
    I suggest starting a new thread here, where someone else could help you out better:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=752&start=0
    First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

  • Whenever I click on the Itunes icon, a window pops up saying that `The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes`.  I then click ok and the pop up vanishes.  Any ideas as to what I should do?

    What version of iTunes are you using? An .itl file is something that Windows uses, or very old versions of iTunes on Mac. The library file on Macs is now .xml and has been since late iTunes 4.
    Is iTunes running ok without any problems after you OK that message? If it is, then you may be able to ignore it if you can't account for why you're getting it. But make sure you take backups in case something happens in the future.

  • Audio pops and crackles on MacBook Pro

    Help!!!
    I have a Late 2011 15' MacBook Pro, 256gb SSD, 750gb (7200) and 16gb RAM. When listening back to music after about 30 seconds to a minute the sound starts to randomly pop and crackle. I've go to find a fix for this.
    I am running 10.8.4. I have already reinstalled Mountain Lion, reset the SMC and reset the PRAM. Nothing seems to work.
    It doesn't seem to be a hard drive issue as it happens on any hard drive I'm playing from.
    I haven't heard it using the onboard speakers. I've only heard it so far with my external speakers connected through USB. This makes me think it could be a USB problem.
    Does anybody have any other suggestions? I'm going mad!!
    Thanks!

    I think I figured it out. I found a firmware update for my audio interface (REM - Babyface) and so far so good.
    I'll post again if it comes back.
    Thanks.

  • 4.3.3 audio pops and crackles have returned!

    when listening to audio over USB the pops and crackles from 4.2 have returned!
    come on apple, get it sorted.

  • FCE 4 Audio Popping and Clicking -

    When using the voice over tool in Final Cut Express 4, I hear popping and clicking upon playback. My microphone goes through a Presonus Firebox. I do not hear the popping and clicking when I record through GarageBand, but this is after I make sure the file is saved in .aif. I do not believe this is a PreSonus issue, rather some wacky setting in FCE. I also read elsewhere this may be due to the fact that I may have had too many open audio tracks, but I have subsequently deleted all other audio tracks. Is this a bit rate issue? I have the Firebox set at 48,000 and the rate is the same in FCE. Tech support does not know how to solve the issue. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Figured it out. It had to do with a compatibility issue between the G5 and the Presonus Firebox. We installed FCE and connected the Firebox to a MacBook Pro and heard no popping in the audio track. We then purchased the M-Audio Fast Track Pro and recorded audio using the voiceover tool and heard no popping or clicking.

  • Random Audio spike/pop sound here and there

    Hey guys, i get this spike type of audio pop from my MBP 17" output., i also hear it now with Leopard as well.
    Any ideas?, please advise----

    Same problem here. It seems to start when the audio hardware gets switched on, lots of little annoying crackles.. it is especially obvious with my somewhat high-end studio monitors. Odd thing though, I didn't notice it until recently, after the latest round of Leopard updates (10.5.1). Could the culprit be in there? Hopefully Apple is on top of this. Well they better be, **** laptop is only 1 month old.

  • New songs and new audio book from Audible will not sync from my computer.  Any idea why?

    I updated my 4S to OS7.  I am now unable to sync new songs and new audiobook from Audible from my computer.  Any idea why?

    Might be incompatible with iOS 7.
    Keep in mind, Audible is not Apple software and Apple is not responsible for third party software compatibility.
    Check the Audibile website for iOS 7 support.

  • The iPad mute bell keeps popping up over and over.  It is turning volume down as fast as I turn it up.  I have reset and restored the iPad to the original settings.  Nothing has worked!  Any other ideas?

    The iPad mute button continues to pop up over and over.  If I turn the volume up, I can watch it decrease just as fast.  The icon stays.  I have reset the iPad twice, and have reset it back to manufacturer settings as well.  The problem continues despite my efforts.....any other suggestions?   It is completely upgraded to the newest iOS version. And I was not having trouble before this upgrade.

    If I had it in a case or had my finger on the switch these would solve the issue.  Or, if the mute bell was only coming on when the volume button was pressed, how ever, it is coming on at random times and will go away for a few minutes if I hit the home button, but then reappears.  This seems to be a problem experienced by a lot of iPad users so I have trouble thinking it is a bad switch.

  • Fade effect causes audio popping

    Hello,
    I have had a recent issue with iMovie which is only getting worse. Whenever I use the video effect of either fade in or fade out, there is a popping sound which get written into the audio track.
    I have tried various fixes but nothing seems to work. It started out as a few quiet audio pops, but now is completely warping the audio. Any ideas?
    Basically I have had to go through the painstaking process of extracting the audio and then fixing it in Garageband. This works, but is tedious and takes about 4 times as long. Since I have quite a few clips to process in this way, I need to fix this issue. I really appreciate any help that others could provide with this.

    If anyone else has this problem - you fix it by making sure you pan the audio to the center, not left or right.

  • Audio popping after burning blu-ray in 5.1

         Just as a disclaimer, I am fairly new to Adobe Premiere and I am running Premiere Elements 8 on a Sony Vaio with an Intel Core i5-580M processor, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 GPU, 8GB DDR3-SDRAM-1066 and Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
         I am attempting to create blu-ray disks in full HD and 5.1 surround sound. Source video is full HD 1920x1080 with .M2TS extension. When I have Adobe Premiere Elements 8 check the properties for my videos, it says the source audio format is "48,000Hz - compressed - 6 channels" and the project audio format is "48,000Hz - 32 bit floating point - 6 channels". This is despite the fact that the source should be 5.1. However when editing videos "5.1" shows up next to audio 1 on the timeline. I read something about this issue and I assume this isn't the cause for any poor audio after a blu-ray burn.
          I create new projects using these settings:
                   NTSC-AVCHD-Full HD 1080i 30 5.1 Channel
         After some quick editing I burn a blu-ray disk with the H.264 1920x1080i NTSC Dolby preset. When checking the quality of the burn the video looks great, but audio has a distinct popping or crackling occasionally that is not in the source files at all. Anyone have any ideas why a burn causes these audio blemishes to show up? I have never had any issues with 2 channel burns and I will probably just end up sticking with 2 channel audio if a solution can't be discovered. Also of note, the audio output is much lower from the burned copy than it is when played back from the source file. This will happen even when the clip volume is set to the max of +6.0dB. Thanks for any help.

    Thanks.
    If I play the original mts-file with Media Player Classic, the audio appears 99.9% clean. Using my headphones and 30 second test section, I could locate one barely audible "pop". PrE timeline zoom couldn't show any spikes or anything else suspicious, so I looked into this by extracting audio channels with Mediacoder to wav-file and checking how it looks at Audacity. One channel appeared to have this small step which caused the "pop". This is best described by following picture:
    Then, when I export the video (or just audio to wav-file) I get dozens of these similar steps which sound like "pop". Sometimes it is just on one channel, sometimes on both channels. They appear at every 2...3 seconds or so. For comparison, this is how the "pop" looks like when exported from PrE:
    Any further suggestions what might cause this increase in "popping" or how to fix it?

  • Lenovo x201 Audio Popping/Buzzing/Stuttering

    Okay. I'm at my wits end. This has been going on for about a year now. I've learned to ignore it, but now that I really want to use my laptop for music, it is getting annoying. There are times when playing audio that the quality starts to degrade. The audio starts to "drop" intermittently and then there's a harsh static that smooths out to an intermittant pop and then the audio drops out again as if a CD is skipping then the static. Speakers are fine because I send the audio to other devices and get the same result. When the audio device is "upset", even system sounds have static.
    I haven't been able to play a song all the way through without audio dropping or static for a while now. All of my drivers are up to date (why hasn't Lenovo updated the audio drviers since 2011?). My BIOS is up to date. Windows is up to date. Night mode is off. I've read all the fixes. So far, my issue is not fixed. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any ideas? Is it the audio processor? Or the audio management software?
    It is quite frustrating because I put a lof of money into this laptop and can't listen to any music. I have an i7 intel with 8gb of ram and an SSD drive with gigabit ethernet. Latency should never be an issue. I feel I shouldn't have to figure out how to get clear sound out of a $2700 latop.
