DVD - MP4 sound issue

On my Powerbook G4 running OSX Panther, I just encoded a peice of video taken from a DVD -r I burned using my Panasonic DVD recording deck. Handbreak did the job, but I have noticed that during playback on my iPod there is a split second break in sound approximately every 30 secs. I'm not a genious when it comes to sound, but I know a little and think it may be to do with the sample rate on the DVD being different to the re-encoded sample rate of Handbreak thus becoming out of sync and cross phasing at 30 second intervals. The DVD plays fine, its just the encoded H.264 file that doesn't. Video remains fine. Any feed back would be great.
Thanks

Headphones have good sound (no weak voices).
Balance (left or right) cures the problem so it must be the out of phase problem. Any fixes for this?
I believe both the DVD player and FrontRow use QT for the audio which would explain the same behavior. It may be in the DVD audio encoding and QT is attempting to make a mono center sound channel, which normally works.
You could rip the DVD and demux the audio - reverse the phase of one channel and remux it and burn a copy. I have never done this, but some rippers and burners allow audio manipulation.
I would first make a disk image and play it rather than waste a blank DVD.
I use VLC for all my media playing. VLC works just like FrontRow with the IR remote.

All other games run supreme,i mean that in the soundish way.

I had the same problem with the radio in my game. Turn it from hardware to software mode in the audio options. You'll still get good sound, but it might run a bit slower, as it uses more memory.

T400 Sound Issues

New T400 - 7417TRU....random sound issues...comes and goes. Running XP. For example, while listening to a CD, sound comes and goes and then starts warbling. Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

we are also having random touchpad mouse issues. seems to have a mind of it's own. This unit was purchased Mid-March 2009. Went into the settings for the touchpad and basically turned all special features off. Still does it...randomly...not all of the time.
Solved the problem by downloading and installing DVD Firmware update from Lenovo. For the mouse touchpad issues, went into the settings and turned off all settings, leave the touchpad in basic configuration. All is working great now.

Satellite P105-S9337 -partial sound issues.

For some strange reason, I am only getting sound on certain things, like windows start up and shutdown chimes. I recently restored the machine using the vista discs from Toshiba. Media player will not make any music either,nor will playing a dvd. No issues in control panel that are showing up. No viruses or spyware, did sweeps for both. could a windows update suddenly cause a problem, even if no updates were done? Unless 1 snuck by when I wasnt looking somehow. I am going to try to resinstall the sound drivers, and see if there are any updates here,but wanted to know if anyone had any ideas? I was also having this issue before the system wipe. thanks for any advise. Joe Vista home premium IE7 4g ram,spysweeper and zonealarm sec suite running.

If this still occurs just after restoring the hard drive's contents to factory fresh and before installing anything or even going on line, then you should expect a hardware problem.
It's the gold-standard test.

ATV2 Sound Issues - known workaround?

Hi there
I'm also having still some sound issues with my Apple TV 2 (using latest firmware and iTunes Release running on a Mac mini Server)
The ATV2 is connected by HDMI and Toslink to a DENON receiver. I do have a library of movies converted from DVD using Handbrake with standard Apple TV 2 preset. This was including a AAC Prologic Stereo downmix audio track and usually a AC-3 passthrough 5.1 suround audio track. Since the 4.4 updates i don't have Dolby Digital sound anymore and optical output is only working when disconnect HDMI.
With the older firmware 4.3 i did not had any problem!
I found this workaround to reenable Dolby Digital Sound output:
1.) Go to the audio track selection menue by pressing select button, switch to audio selection menue switch manually to the second audo track still having stereo downmix (should be the AC-3 track.
2.) Repeat procedure to switch back to the first audio track -> ATV switches AC-3 to HDMI output!
This works on all my handbrake coded movies including aac stereo and ac-3 5.1 audio tracks. It has to be repeated when changing movie.
This is clearly a newly introduced software bug, please fix it!
Thanks

Well fact is, that all movies have correct sound AAC and AC-3 tracks using handbrake 0.95 standard Apple TV 2 preset. None of these movies had any issues with previous ATV2 4.3 firmware releases.
Furthermore the Issue can be corrected by simply switching audio track selector in ATV2 twice novadays!!!
While investigating the problem I had also the idea of some mistakes in the movies itself. So i used Subler and mediainfo to check the video files. Then used Quicktime, iTunes and VLC to examine content and could really not see any problem with m4v files.
VLC can correctly switch audio track because it can decode AC-3 DD 5.1 streams internally.
Quicktime locks like decoding both audio stream simultanously (has no switch to select) causes strange echo.
iTunes shows the two audio streams in menue but won't let you switch to dolby digital (greyed out) implies, that it neither can passthrough nor decode AC-3 DD 5.1 tracks.
I also saw, that with the 4.3 firmware i could have sent DD 5.1 to the optical output, even with connected HDMI cable, which is definitely not the case anymore.
Still need to be fixed!

Lumia 800 and 23.976 FPS MP4 - Playback Issue

Quite lately, I have been wondering, if I should bring up this issue or not. Thought, what the hell - lets pen it down anyway.
So here's the deal, I have a lot of 720P DTS/DD HD movies which I generally re-encode to H.264 lower bit rates (1500 to 2000 kbps) and Audio to AAC and finally MUX them in MP4 (sounds terrible right !). The resultant file plays fine on VLC, HOWEVER, its terribly laggy/jerky on Lumia 800.
After a lot of hit and trial, I found a workaround though : Mux the H.264 Video stream @ 25 fps and Speed up the Audio from 23.976 to 25. Now the movie playback on Lumia is tolerable but not that smooth.
My N8 can play 23.976 Movies just fine. Now the Question - Why is Lumia 800 not able to playback the most widely used 23.976 framerate encoded movies and why I have to increase the FPS (to 25) in order to achive a decent playback.
PS: Movies which are @ 30 fps has absolutely brilliant playback on Lumia, though. But unfortunately, we cannot speedup 23.976 to 30, coz speeding up the Audio to 30 framerate makes the audio sound terrible and cartoonish.
EDIT : Let's make it more clear. The culprit is not 720p. I even tried resizing the video to 800x450 (Progressive) and keeping the original framerate to 23.976.The playback is still noticeably jerky. So the culprit is definitely the framerate.
Cheers !!

@ noenid : Hey buddy... Still stuck with the playback issue.. I realized that long back and am glad that I finally gave up on Nokia. Few weeks back I just bought Sony Xperia Z. Now that's what a "smartphone" should be... Its almost impossible to find something that the "Z DOESN'T DO"...
Maybe Nokia can convince Microsoft to re-design the Windows Phone OS and bring it at part with other OS. I really don't know why Microsoft chose to go the "Apple Way"... They may say "Security" >> to which I say "**bleep**"....
And why do I say **bleep** ?? Depite all the security and locked OS API's, I still don't see any substantial acceptance of Windows Phone OS in Business community... Android on the other hand, was highly criticized for being "vulnerable" >> But look around man... Almost every banking / IT / Financial Sector have their apps on it.. I really don't want Windows Phone OS to roll-over and die...
As they say: You can fool me once, but not twice...

HP Envy 4-1215dx Sound Issues

Hi, I own an HP Envy 4-1215dx. It's a great unit overall, but I am having problems with the audio on it. From the day I took it out of the box it will randomly spew out quick bursts of buzzing/crackling/digital noise whenever I try and play some sort of media, it will appear to have stopped for a while but then start doing it again, it is quite intermitten. It does it with sound from the internet such as youtube, playing MP3's, and even in Games. It is extremely irritating and I need to find a solution. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers and have had no luck. Doing a quick google search, I found out that there are several other people with the same problem, yet the only answer they get back is to reinstall the drivers. I have done this already and it does not fix the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello Livingedge,
I understand that the driver is an older version. This is the version that is available for your specific product on the HP Driver & Software page. I have been able to locate a driver that is also IDT, but the release date is 2013-09-30. I have included that driver here for you 'IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver'.
If this driver fails to resolve the sound issue, I would keep an eye on the 'HP Driver & Software' page. This is where if and any updates are available, will be provided here.
Thank you.

Connecting my MacBook Pro to my DVD Surround Sound Speakers?

I'm a student filmmaker in the UK and pretty much do all my video editing from my bedroom using Final Cut Studio. I am using a MacBook Pro3,1 (bought in 2007) and have recently decided that I want to start working in 5.1 surround sound.
As I have no surround sound speakers with my MacBook Pro, I was wondering if it would be possible to connect it up to my DVD surround sound system? This would ultimately save me having to buy a compatible set and having two lots of surround sound speakers around my room...
My DVD player is a Panasonic SC-PT150. The 6 surround sound speakers each connect to it through the standard +/- "clip-in" wire set up (which, obviously isn't compatible with my MacBook Pro). There are also two AUX sockets (one for Left and one for Right) on the back of the DVD player. So far, I have tried connecting my MacBook Pro to these sockets using a Mini plug to RCA cable, however, all I get is an incredibly loud humming noise.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might, either overcome this problem or, get the setup to work another way? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks both of you for your help.
It doesn't mention either of those connections in the manual, however, yes you are right, it takes digital input. I'll have to call and check if the toslink cable is compatible.
I tried connecting the mini-stereo-to-RCA cable to my Nokia phone (which is actually where the cable came from) and that plays through the DVD speakers just fine, when i select AUX mode. Although, as you said, it only plays stereo.
Say the mini-toslink cable is compatible, would I need to get a 5.1 surround sound card for my MBP?
Thanks again.

Strange sound issue on iPad2

my mom is having odd sound issues on her iPad 2 that i was able to somewhat fix. and it goes from fixed back to broken o.O
i thought it was interesting and worth mentioning, in case this happens to anyone else.
her iPad 2 is up to date on the latest iOS (5.0.1) and the issue occured while she was watching a video in YouTube. sound is totally off in all apps. in Settings>General under 'use side switch to' it is set to 'mute'. when going to Settings>General>Sounds the volume control for ringers will work and cause the ringtone to play, so it seems the speaker itself is fine. however it will only work there and for that short time. afterward sound will continue to remain off. the volume control on the side of the unit will bring up the on screen speaker icon, except it doesnt show the bar that usually goes up and down with the volume. and sometimes at the top of the grey box it will say 'sound effects'. ive also tried switching the mute on and off which changes nothing.
the one thing ive found that changes anything is the multi tasking bar volume control (double clicking the home button and then sliding all the way to the left, where it shows a screen orientation lock, brightness slider and a volume control bar). now the volume control bar is unfilled and doesnt show the dot that you can slide up and down to change the volume. however when i plug the iPad 2 into a computer (any computer seems to cause this) the volume control bar will suddenly fill and the dot will appear. now suddenly sound works in all apps and will change with the side control again as normal.
now heres where it gets even weirder!!!
sometimes when unplugging the iPad 2, after a short while volume will slowly fade out and be unresponsive again. the side buttons stop working and the volume control in the multi tasking bar will be unfilled and unresponsive. repeatedly plugging it in, going back to the multi tasking bar volume control and unplugging will eventually bring volume back. a couple times ive gotten volume to stay on and the volume bar to stay responsive by unplugging it while im in the multi tasking bar. but sometimes this is not the case.
for the record, ive tried 'turning it off and on again' and resetting all settings and erasing all content and settings (both with starting up from a back up on iCloud and PC, and starting up as a new iPad). ive used two different laptops, one with Windows Vista and one with Windows 7. the iPad is synced with one laptop but aside from using iTunes to back it up and for charging, ive not made any changes to the iPad using these devices. during the entire duration of my attempts to fix it, the iPad has been on no lower than 80% power. ive also called Apple and discussed this with an Apple Care representative. who suggested all the same things id already done, and walked me through all the fixes to make sure i didnt skip anything.
hopefully and most probable is that its just an issue with iOS 5.0.1. i also have an iPad 2 thats up to date with 5.0.1 and ive not had this issue, YET.
i just thought it would be beneficial to the community to share this issue and get word out that this is happening. i would like to hear everyones thoughts on this issue and if this has happened to anyone else. the Apple Representative that i spoke to had not heard of or had to deal with this issue so it sounds like its rather new or rare. though she did mention that this is not normal behavior for the device and might be a software issue.
id like to conclude with my love for Apple, and how user friendly iDevices are in general. ive had iPods from the very first generation and all of them still work (though the older ones cant be updated past a certain iOS). the few issues ive ever had were easily fixed with a visit to the Apple Store or searching on the Apple Support Communities. so as with before, i will remain positive and look forward to a bug fix in the next update.
-thanks in advanced for reading, and any comments

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Sound issue on iphone 4 - 7.1.1

My mom has an iphone 4 that was handed down to her from my sister. After one of the ios updates...can't remember which one...the phone stopped giving audible notifications for text messages. As I have tried to troubleshoot this issue I have discovered the other following problems:
The phone will not play music on any speaker. I was trying to connect the phone via bluetooth to a speaker bar and when I tried to play pandora, I got nothing. I then disconnected the bluetooth to see if I would get sound out of the phone's speaker and got nothing. I attempted to play a downloaded song and got nothing.
I then tried to see if I could find other issues and I did. When I go into settings>sounds>ringtones I can switch ringtones and hear the ringtone sample. When I go into settings>sounds>text tone, I can select any tone in the list and all I get is a vibration, no sound at all from any of them.
I also found that when pressing the volume up and down buttons on the side of the phone do not produce the pop up box that shows volume going up and down
I believe these three problems to be related as some kind of systematic software bug. Can anyone confirm this or offer a possible solution. Keep in mind the phone does make sounds when someone calls also from the speaker phone. The only non-sound issues are text notifications and playing music. I find this to be a rather important problem because the phone can really no longer be used as a phone since my mom continually misses text messages because she does not get an audible notification.

Windows Vista major sound issues

On my 2 month old Unibody Macbook, I'm experiencing severe sound issues with bootcamp 2.1 in windows vista. While playing games such as Halo 2 or Fallout 3, which the macbook graphically handles exceptionally well for a laptop, the sound crackles and often disappears! To get the sound back I have to reboot my macbook. Help, this is extremely annoying, and apple won't do a thing about it!!! Please help!

Sound issues with MacBook Pro

I am experiencing sound issues with my MacBook Pro. I am using a headset and when I am on a skype calsl I have a hard time hearing the other person, the sound is coming in and out and sounds digitized. This issue only started recently, the sound had been working fine for years before this issue.

I do not use Skype, but may be information from the below linked article helpful.

Sound issues in iOS6

I'm having random sound issues since upgrading iPhone to iOS6. For instance, after using iMessage I will sleep the phone without exiting iMessage. 5 mins later I will have messages sent to me but there were no sound notifications indicating such. Only if I exit iMessage prior to sleeping the phone will I hear notifications of new texts or iMessages. Also, random sounds like the swoosh when sending an email will mute randomly. I have to shut the phone off and restart before it works again. Why is this happening?

If you have a iMessage open and into a message, normally it will not sound. I think it is because you already have it open and in it. That is what I have noticed.

What is a packet problem? I'm having sound issues.

I'm at my wit's end. I am having sound issues. I've run diagnostic tests and everything comes back as OK, but it's not OK! Something somewhere is messed up and I can't figure it out.
I have been to the help rooms on paltlak and opened up support tickets and everything they told me to try has not helped. They suggested I change the sound tuning on my chat program, change exceptions on my firewall, uninstall and reinstall chat program, uninstall and install earlier version, download drivers for sound card, and etc. Nothing is helping this problem.
Someone mentioned that it may be router problems or packet problems. I'm not sure what that means, and that is why I'm on this forum asking for help. I have no other sound problems on my computer. My music and videos play fine. It's just when I'm in a voice enabled chat, do I experience these problems, or if I'm on a website that has videos, the video will not load all the way, so I only get 30 seconds of a video. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
I have used this chat service for over 5 years and up until a week or so ago, it worked fine. I did a complete reformat of my computer in hopes that it would help, but I'm still having the same problems. I lose sound within 5 seconds of entering the chat room. Then it takes between 3-5 minutes before I hear sound again, but then I only hear it for a few seconds. Then it goes away for another few minutes. Repeat. Over and over again.
I'm running Windows Vista on an Acer Aspire 380 with wireless cable modem. I keep losing sound in any voice/sound enabled chat and on any site that has videos. I have 1gig of ram, 300 gb hard drive, 32 bit operating system, 2 processor cores, directx version 9, realtek sound card. Everything is up to date, and firmware is up to date. My speed test is: download: 6.162 mbps and upload: 926 kbps.
When I do the ipconfig/all, it shows
Tunnel adapter local aera connection* 6: Media State: Media disconnected
description: teredo tunneling pseudo-interface
dhcp enabled: no
autoconfiguration enabled: yes
I don't know if this has anything to do with my sound issues on the chat program or not. ??
Also shows:
node type: hybrid
dhcp enabled: yes
autoconfiguration enabled: yes
default gateway: 192.168.1.1
dhcp server: 192.168.1.1
netbios over tcpip: enabled
If by chance it is a packet problem, how do I fix that?

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it just started recently and after not being able to fix the problem, I completely reformatted my computer and started with a fresh slate, but still having the same problems. The videos will not continue to load. They get less than half way and then just totally stop loading, therefore I only get to view the video up to the point where it stops loading. I just took your advice and I disconnected the router and connected my computer directly to the modem and my sound issues were fixed. I went into the voice chat and had sound for over 10 minutes (and then I disconnected) instead of the usual 5 seconds that it'd been. So is it the linksys that is causing this? If so, how can I fix it? Thank-you. Message Edited by nightrider7000 on 01-22-2008 11:34 AM
