Dropping sound

Hi All!
I have tried many times to export an aif from a nested sequence. It’s about 30min long and all of the sound was recorded from one camera. For some reason it keeps dropping out in a few places? Always the same place no matter how I export it? The majority of the 30min is perfect.
When I play the nest in the FCP timeline all sound is there. When I open the nest in FCP all the sound plays there too. Everything seems to be 48Khz 16bit.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Mixdown your audio. This is always the thing do before exporting and outputting to tape.

No such model exists, therefore there is no problem.
Seriously though, clean the dock connector and headphone jack. Lint/debris in either can cause problems.

Dropping sound in text chats

For a few months my iChat has been dropping sound in text chats. The new message, message sent, etc. sounds are dropping (or being sent to some unknown output device). I can't figure out where/how to fix this...and it's getting worse.
Now when iChat tries to make a sound and iTunes is playing BOTH will crash! This is INCREDIBLY annoying. There is also a popping or clicking going on...through the speakers.
Console:
Oct 20 12:42:16 BigMac crashdump[462]: coreaudiod crashed
Oct 20 12:42:18 BigMac crashdump[462]: crash report written to: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/coreaudiod.crash.log
Oct 20 12:42:21 BigMac crashdump[461]: iChat crashed
Oct 20 12:42:22 BigMac crashdump[464]: iTunes crashed
Any ideas?

Hi Demetrios,
Ok there will be more info in Console
Go to the Logs icon top left.
USe the Reveal Triangle on ~/Library/logs
Open the Crash Log
Open the iTunes and iChat Crash logs.
See if there is any similarities in the info contained in them. Thread 1 and Binary Images are the place to look.
It looks like you should also look at the CoreAudio crash log. It looks like this is where the problem lies.
This may be sorted by resetting the Micorphone choice in System Preferneces > Sound > Input tab and the Volume setting in the same Preference paene but > Sound Effect tab (for Alerts).
You may have to delete com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
This is found in Hard drive/Library/Preferences
This is the Library you see when you can see the Applications folder, the System Folder and Users folder when you click on your Hard drive icon or use a Finder window to navigate to it.
The computer may need to be restarted after this.

Set default import format when drag and drop sound file into multitrack view?

I've looked around the preference panels but cannot find where to set the import settings for dragging and dropping sound files into multitrack view. Some of our computers have correct settings and others do not. Thanks for your help!

I should have been more specific, sorry... I mean bit depth and bit rate... On some machines this defaults correctly and on other machines it is wrong. Not sure how to set these to downconvert properly by default. Unless it automatically takes the format of the source file, in which case it's just been luck.
Thanks,
G

Audigy 2 ZS Value dropping sounds in Dawn of

I recently purchased an Audigy 2, and upon installation, Dawn of War no longer played unit sounds. Prior to this I had a SB Li've Value under which sounds play perfectly.
All other sound effects and music play normally, its only Unit acknowledgments, taunts and the like. The DOW community hasn't acknowledged this as a problem since only one other person has reported the error. Any idea?

A few things for you to think about are PCI latency and the type of sound the game uses. The older SB Li've Value doesn't do in-game EAX effects in hardware like a ZS or regular Audigy 2, but in software like onboard solutions do - which is why in most situations onboard always usually sounds ok but if you turn on EAX you get some CPU overhead. I would try disabling EAX (in game) if you're using it and see if there is any difference, and also check out the PCI latency tool and if your soundcard is 32 by default try raising it to 64. To be honest i'm not really sure there is actually a "ZS Value" but i know there is a regular "audigy 2 value" (which has a smaller PCB footprint). Dropping sounds can also be caused by not having a PCI card - most especially a sound card that's not in an optimal PCI slot IRQ wise (you might be sharing and IRQ with another device) - not that it always causes issues because usually it doesn't but sometimes does. I know i have had to move a few soundcards to different PCI slots for various reasons.

IPhone makes a random water drop sound through out the day. All notifications are turned off? Not sure what the cause is.

My iPhone randomly makes a sound like a drop of water into a puddle. I've turned off all notifications and it till does it. Any suggestions?

Do you have an app called Life360?
See this thread: My 4s started making this strange sound like a ping/water drop! What is it?

Apple TV dropping sound

Hi all,
There seem to be lots of variations of this question around at the moment, but I'll start afresh. My Apple TV2 is connected wirelessly to a Belkin router. The ATV is connected to the TV via HDMI and to a standalone (ie: not blu-ray/DVD player) surround sound system vie optical.
Without touching anything, the sound can play through the TV and surround system at the same time, I can choose which one I want to listen to, but without warning it will stop playing through the selected one, but play happily through the other, or vice versa, but sometimes nothing at all. Rebooting doesn't seem to help, but I can go away, come back later and all's well again.
Sometimes the connection through the HDMI lead will die on me - both picture and sound. I've tried 3 leads now and a friend has exactly the same problem, which makes me think it's not a hardware problem.
Just gets really annoying when you're 5 minutes from the end of a movie and there's no sound!!
Any pointers appreciated.
thanks
Trev

Bizarre things was that last night I was at a friends house setting up their Airports for a garden party (I leant them 2 of mine that I reset to default then customised for circumstances) - they have similar setup as me, no apple TV but newer iMac and BT Home Hub 2 Router - I set up 3 Airport Express's to join their network all fine got green lights, but then same thing happened - continual drop outs in music especially when people were walking in the front door which is near where their router is, embarrassing, as I had to go back to my trusty iPod and leads:( rebooted everything too.
I'm leaning towards the problem being the last iTunes update, around the iPad launch.
Weird though as not many other people experiencing this as I have spent time searching here.

IDVD dropping sound

I have a project with 4 short movies. The project seems to burn fine but during my longest movie (38 min) the sound drops out of the last 5 minutes.
These movies were created by FCP. I was able to manage a DVD Studio Pro version (which is not working very well (barely works) with Leopard. I managed to get it to burn and there is not problem with the sound. I would use that copy, but the menu skips. I am really having a lot of issues with my Final Cut Studio with Leopard. Even after yesterday's update.
By the way, I built the same project on my daughters computer using idvd with Tiger and the same thing happened. No sound for last 5 minutes.
Any insight is appreciated

What brand and format DVD are you using? Making a disk image and then burning? Burning at what speed?
I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility. You can set burn speed in iDVD '08 if not creating a disc image.
David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his iDVD 6 book:
iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."
I buy Verbatim white inkjet printable in stacks of 50. Verbatim's part number: 94971. They have been flawless for me.

Keynote dropping sound when rendering to video

I am running Keynote 6.5 on the Yosemite 10.10.1 operating system in a MacBook Pro 1TB HD with 16 GB of Ram. I am having the problem of sound completely dropping off after about 2 minutes and 6 six seconds when exporting a slideshow to video. The operating system has been replaced and reinstalled, Keynote was deleted and reinstalled and I duplicated the problem on my second MacBook Pro.
After all of this it has been determined to be an Engineering issue and happens to be a problem that is apparently affecting Keynote on all MacBook's, at least within the sated system preferences.
Does anybody have any advice or knowledge pertaining to this matter? Or know when Apple may resolve the issue?
James

we tried the custom settings being adjusted and leaving them as it is.
Therefore you did not use custom settings?
I currently have 10.10.1 with Keynote 6.5 and 10.9.5 with Keynote 6.2.2, both these versions export without issue to Quicktime when using custom settings.
This is an example of a custom QT export for HDTV 1080p:

Phone drops sound in middle of call.

My 8310 dropped the sound in the middle of a call. What i mean is, I was talking to someone and all of a sudden i couldn't hear them at all. Dead silence. It is still that way. I can hear a phone call if I put it on speakerphone, but otherwise nothing. I can't figure out how it happened or how to fix it. The calls are connected, I just can't hear anything. Does anyone know what this is?

Airplay drops sound after few seconds

Watching movies via Airplay and a MacBook Pro on my TV.
The connection comes up nicely and I see and hear the stream on my TV
After only a few seconds though the audio sound drops off and I can only see the video.
Anyone having the same problem?
Many thanks

Hey helpagerman,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like AirPlay works but loses sounds. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue. It may also be network connection issue depending on if your using Wi-Fi or not. There are links for that in the first article.

What is up with the water drop sound?

This started on my phone a few days ago. I do not have Skype so suggesting turning the sound off doesn't solve my issue. It's getting annoying because I can't figure out what it could be. My husband's phone is doing the same thing.

Ocean20 is most likely the answer to your problem.
There are no apps running in the backround,
Its a POSSIBILITY they are still sending notifications.
Check if you are recieving any mail or messages/calls.
Or another possible solution:
Settings > Sounds
There you can choose ringtones/alert sounds when you get mail or recieve a message or anything.
Check to see if any of them have a name equivalent to a 'rain drop' or anything like that. If this works it will tell you what is making the noise and will let you change it

Change drag 'n drop sound?

How do I change the sound played when you drag and drop something into a new folder? I know you can change the alert sounds under 'sound' in the system prefs...are there also sounds to choose from for drag and drop?

Hello Lisa,
I did some searching around on my system and found the OS sound files to be hidden in this folder:
System:Library:Components:CoreAudio.component:Contents:Resources:SystemSounds
To open the CordAudio.component you will have to "show package contents" by right-clicking (or control-clicking) to bring up the contextual menu.
I might suggest you back-up the sound files in case you decide to change back to them. You can keep them where they are and rename them from .aiff to .bak, or simply hide them in a different folder.

CISCO CHS DVR dropping sound to LCD TV

I have a CISCO CHS 435HDC DVR hooked up to a 32" Emerson LCD TV. Periodically the sound will stop coming out of the set...and we have to turn the TV off then On. The installer mentioned something about "HDMI" synching problems with the receivers and that unplugging/replugging the HDMI cable would fix it. (That does work but we found that turning the TV off/on forces the "resych" and the volume returns.
Is there a DVR SW patch for this intermittant sound loss.?

The boxes all have the latest software. You will want to check with your TV manufacturer. Most newer TV's come with updatable firmwares to fix problems such as these. Since every TV is different in this procedure you would need to contact their helpdesk.

TS4185 FaceTime keeps dropping sound

When using FaceTime on my iMac I lose sound after approx 10 mins, sometimes a lot less.
Does anyone know what may be causing this, my broadband speed is v good and handles video etc well in all other software.

No error message. It just quits on its own after one minute.
