Dynadock - USB Audio kaput busted broken (white noise)

not sure what has caused this, but I use a Dynadock and up until Monday the USB audio was fine, then it started making crackling white noise. I thought was temporary as was off to work but on return today is doing the same. A bit of google leads me to think this is not uncommon.
I have reinstalled Dynadock software (latest version from Toshiba site)
I have reinstalled Conexant sound drivers (latest version from Toshiba site - though don't think this is latest according to Vista update - did I mention Vista? ;) and working fine
After much searching as it does not seem to be available from the Toshiba site I found a C Media 106 Driver (which is what it was before) and installed that, and the white noise is still there.
I assume this is a Vista / Driver issue?
Which also assumes means there is no way round it without either system restore back to a previous point and hope it goes away, then select each update
or wait for a new driver but with no idea who owns it or when that might be?
Is there any alternative? I use the docking station almost permanently so this is a real pain in the rear.
Not a happy bunny! Can anyone help please? Is anyone having the same problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Tim
Your posting is pretty confusing and I can not understand what you have done and wrote about all those sound drivers. In my opinion you should make clean Dynadock installation and configuration.
Disconnect the Dynadock from the system and remove all preinstalled stuff. Download Vista Dynadock Utility 2.3c properly. Follow the menu on the screen and please do not interrupt Utility installation.
Dynadock Utility will install all stuff you need and I hope you will be able to use this nice external device again. Of course I hope the sound will be OK again.

Logic 9 busting into white noise while recording!!

Well the title says almost all of it! I've been using Logic 8 happily for ...since it came out.....and I used Logic 9 successfully yesterday when just doing vocals over a backing track but today I tried my first full band recording in Logic 9 and at random places while in record, the audio just totally turns into deafening white noise! The Hard drive meter is showing massive peaks and logic shows a "too slow" error. The songs has a few virtual amplifiers in it (amplitube) but nothing lethal and I've loaded the exact same song (saved from logic 9) into logic 8 and it's working flawlessly so for now at least I'm reverting to using Logic 8 :-(((
Oh well, I guess Logic 9 will be awesome when it's finished :-)) Any suggestions of things I can try or will this be a 9.01 situation?
Many Thanks for any help,
Gareth

Hi Ya,
Combo update , yes
ProKit 5, yes,
Restart, yes,
Repair permissions, I'll try that
and as for using it professionally...that's the only way I do use it!!
Someone has to find the bugs for Apple to fix them.
As for contacting our host, not exactly. I've been a happy logic user (and basically still am I should add) since Notator days but now that the tech support phone numbers have been long since discarded (Sound technology in the UK, bless them) I have no idea how to report a bug or a problem to Apple. I can get someone in Ireland to tell me where to take a broken mac back to, but support for pro software, I have no idea who to get hold of.Does anyone here know of a Tech support contact email?

Media Encoder CS5.5 Audio being converted into white noise

I have recently started getting an intermittent problem where some video files are being encoded to FLV with the picture looking fine, but the sound coming out as white noise.
The file used for the encoding looks and sound fine in every other app i have. I have been using the same preset within ME to create all the files for our website, for years!.It should be stereo 96kbps MPEG 3 but all i get is static.
The source videos are all edited , mixed and output the same way too.
The files being sent to Encoder are on Mac 10.6.5, and were created in Final Cut Pro using the Prores422 codec, with audio as Linear PCM 16bit/48khz
I have just rebooted the mac, installed the latest CS5.5 upgrades, repaired permissions, but still the problem persists.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

seems i did answer this myself last year!
i need to re-ecode the source material in a format other than 10bit uncompressed for Encoder to be happy with it. I thought the file was already Prores - must be an older file thats causing the trouble.

Audio files turned into white noise

I just opened a couple of session I kept on my firewire audio drive and for some reason some of the audio files have been turned into white noise and obviously rendered unusable. Has this ever happened to anyone? If so can you do anything to sort it out?
Some of those where really important so I would really appreciate if someone had a solution.
Thanks

Creepy!!!

Intermittent white noise occurring on USB speakers

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this but I thought it would be a good start point. Apologies if you feel it is the incorrect forum.
All of a sudden my lacie USB speakers are creating intermittent white noise hiss when listening to music or viewing video with audio. This has only occurred today. The speakers are connected through a belkin USB hb which has a few other devices connected.
Just wondering if anyone has had any similar issue with any other speakers or general audio problems which may be similar?
Many thanks.
Anthony

Well little did I know that I was in the process of hearing my Belkin F5U307 7 port USB hub screaming its last few cries for help as it has now died. A three year long useful life expended.
I'm unsure what the issue was here. I know that when I had been switching on the Mac that I had occasionally had a loud buzzing from the speakers during startup. A quick disconnect and reconnect sorted it. I had upgraded to the current Mac Pro a few months ago. I reckon its a power supply issue but can't be sure.
So I am now in need of a new 7 port usb hub.

Why is the video audio white noise when I share my project since I updated to 10.0.9

On the movies I created before I updated to 10.0.9, the audio prortion of the video is now white noise. The audio is fine when played back in FCP, but when i share the project it is white noise. When I burn it to BluRay the audio is gone all together. Even when I make a master file to my desktop, it still happens. The music I added to my project is fine. It just the audio that is part of the video clips that is affected. I've turned off the EQ's and Compressors I was using and I even tried moving the audio to the center channel instead of mono. No luck. Need some help. I can't figure this out.

I'm encountering the same problem as the original poster. In my case, I'm using FCP 10.1 (running on OS 10.9.1). My source file is DV video imported via FireWire from a DV camcorder. The clip's audio is fine when playing inside of Final Cut Pro 10.1, but when I share the project the audio track is just white noise. My share settings are to Apple 720p devices (the subseqent dialog boxes indicate the software has figured out it's really 640x480 video).
Here's what the QuickTime Inspector says about the source file:
Format:
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480)
Linear PCM, 16-bit little-endian signed integer, 48004.6 Hz, Mono
Linear PCM, 16-bit little-endian signed integer, 48004.6 Hz, Mono
FPS: 29.97
Data Size: 5.87 GB
Data Rate: 30.30 Mbit/s
Current Size: 640-480 (actual)
I tried changing from "faster encode" to "better quality", but it made no difference.
The rather dated version of Compressor I have (v3.5.3) was able to encode the clip to H.264 640x480 and the results are fine. However, it took way longer than FCP 10.1 (I think it's too old to be taking advantage of the GPU).

White noise, sort of packet loss when talking with...

Hi,
For some unknown reason when I talk with one specific person the call doesn't exactly drop out it sort of cuts the audio and gives me white noise (sort of like when you get packet loss when transferring files or gaming), I have 0 idea why it does it. Does it the reverse as well, but only for me and this person. Everyone else thats in the call doesn't get effected and its frustrating me.

When in a call goto call > Technical info. This will show you various info about the call connection (and a lot of useless info aswell). Amongst the info is packet loss, and relays (if relays = more than 0 you are not directly connected).
Being on the same Skype, version might help.

Premiere 7.2.1 white noise with Audition import

I'd edited an audio clip in Audition and was reconnecting the clip in Premiere. I played the clip in my timeline and it blaseted my ears at full volume with white noise. I tested the symptoms a couple more times before the clip refreshed and the sound went back to normal. Took about 30 seconds from when I reconnected to when the issue resolved itself.
I think I'm going to go make some coffee while my ears recover. And in the meantime, I'm going to be more careful when playing new things in my timeline. But at this rate, I'm going to need hearing aids before I turn 40.

I've been experiencing the same issue mattslote has described. Like OP, the clip eventually "refreshes" and plays normal instead of as white noise. For me, the "refreshing" took several minutes to occur.
My process was clicking on a clip in the timeline, choosing "Edit clip in Adobe Audition," saving the edited file in Audition as *file name* Audio Extracted.wav, and playing back the clip now with replaced audio in the timeline. I experienced the same issue last night, of the replaced audio playing back as white noise. However, last night the clip did not ever "refresh" after a period of twenty minutes or so (during which I did clear the cache), so I deleted the new audio from the timeline. I did not delete the edited audio .wav flie, which played normal in an audio player program.

Heavy white noise/hiss while recording guitar through audio interface

I have just purchased a new MacBook pro 2011 (low end 15") and have tried recording with an m-audio fast track audio interface. Unfortunately I'm getting terrible white noise and hiss while recording my guitar. The guitar is plugged straight into the interface using a guitar lead which is then usb connected to my mac.
I am pretty sure it's not the interface because it's brand new. Also I have tried three different guitars and all have the same out come.
Please help
Things that may help diagnose the problem:
I have installed a new driver.
When the gain and presence is increased the noise is worse.
The output is not hitting the red mark.
Thanks
Andre

I had your problem and I resolved it! i have my mic and guitars plugged into my Eurorack UB1202 analog mixer which outputs to my MacBook Pro via Bheringer UCA222 audio interface then back to my mixer and to my headphones/speakers. i noticed a white noise last night while i was working and all I did to fix it was unplug the audio interface from the outside usb hub (closest to the screen) and plugged it into my middle hub. the noise has now stopped and its crystal clear.
TL;DR try plugging your audio interface into different usb hubs. it worked for me. hope that helps!

Noises on external USB audio interface (Yamaha MW12) with Snow Leopard

Hi there,
I got an issue with strong noises (kind of distortion) while playing all kind of music/sounds ( itunes/Reason/Cubase) via an external USB audio device (Yamaha MW12 mixer).
Some important facts:
+ This had not been from the very first beginning of changing to snow leopard
+ but never appeared on "leopard"
+ Yamaha mixer is still working fine with my MS-windows computer
+ latest Asio driver by Yamaha is not helping.
+ internal audio of my Mac Book Pro is working fine.
As this issue just appears 2 days before, without any change or installation on my system, I really wonder, what could be happen. As Yamaha mixer is still working fine with other computer, I expect some driver in MacOS to be the problem (as internal audio HW is working fine).
Does anybody else, know, what to do? (before I change back to MacOS 10.5)
Has anybody else have seen a similar issue?
Thanks for helping in advance.
Merry christmas,
Mat

Hi,
just one addon.
+ Changed USB ports on MacBook and it was fine on the second used.
+ Nevertheless, noise remains on the originaly used port
+ all other connected devices as mouse and midi interface are fully functional on both ports
It still looks like a driver issue. Nevertheless, could it be a hardware issue with the USB port in my MacBook then? Even if all other tried devices are functional?
cheers, Mat

Getting random white noise in Premier Pro CS3 audio

I'm working with Premier Pro CS3 on a simple 15 minute slide show with approx. 150 pictures and 3 songs in WAV format. In each of the three songs, I'm getting 1-second bursts of white noise - on left or right or both channels - approx. 3-4 times in each song. When played outside of Premier Pro, all songs are clean with no white noise. None of the songs are too 'hot'; show three have good levels in Soundbooth. I've scanned all of the audio sections in Help and can find nothing that might explain the cause and I'd appreciate some guidance. I've worked with previous versions of Premier Pro for years and have never run into this. Thanks.

Have you updated your Creative driver? That would be one of the first things that I would do.
Next, in Soundbooth, do you see the noise in the Waveform? In PrPro, when you zoom in both vertically and horizontally on the Audio Track, do you see it in the Waveform?
Some folk have had great luck using ASIO4ALL as their ASIO driver. It has cleared up many issues with a broad range of equipment. I do not recall your exact problem, but then I might have missed that one. Note: after you download and install ASIO4ALL, you'll need to go to Audio Hardware and set it as your Input and Output. This driver has been very helpful on the Audition forum, and with all sorts of issues and some very esoteric hardware.
Hope that something helps, and good luck,
Hunt

Media Encoder turns audio into white noise!

I'm running CS5.5 on an intel Mac 10.6.5, and i have been having problems encoding to flv.
All my videos are edited the same way, and using the same formats etc, yet recently I have found that when converting to .flv, some will work fine, and others will have the audio replaced by white noise.
I cannot figure out what the problem could be. I have also tried using the CS5 version and that is having the same issues.
Checking through the video specs, it appears that the one difference is that the ones which worked fine are all Apple ProRes 422 HQ files, and the ones which failed are Apple 10bit Uncompressed. The strange thing is the audio is the same for both. Yet when the encode problem happens, the video for both is fine, its just the audio where the problem appears.
Anyone else seen this problem? or better still have a solution?
adam

I've answered it myself.
The problem relates to using Uncompressed 10bit movie files...seems the CS5 versions have a problem handling the audio on these. The solution for me was to run the files through Compressor first and change them to Apple ProRes422, before running them through AME.
works every time now!
now if only i could find the bug report form....

QT Pro 7.03 - audio recording - I just get white noise!

Just recorded an audio clip (off the radio) and what do i get??
Just plain white noise - completely useless!!!
I could monitor what I was recording as I was recording it and it sounded fine!
What's going on!???
(connection: Output of DAB into small mixer, into Audiophile 2496 soundcard - QT set to record quality "better" - hah! )

Use the Audio MIDI Setup application (Utilities folder).
If your recording setup is correct it should be identified with the app. Adjust the settings and test.
If you can hear it through your headphones or speakers you can also use WireTap Pro (free version) to record in .aiff format.

Bluetooth Audio Blasts White Noise

I have a Macbook Pro and when I listen to music via bluetooth (headphones, speakers, etc.) it eventually glitches and then blasts white noise. Anyone know what the problem is?
By the way, I don't experience this problem when using the same bluetooth devices with my iPhone.

the problem is that 10.10.2 is a piece of junk. look through the discussions, and there are already a number of them mentioning this. in all the posts i've read, this started with that update. amazing that apple can cause a problem that can both damage hearing and equipment, and after a month still nothing. i've had it happen about 5 times today. add to that, my bluetooth keyboard has disconnected and reconnected 30 times, often consecutively.
the only fix is disconnect the device, and reconnect. or, if you just mute audio and wait a number of minutes it is usually gone after un-muting. 10.10.2 is a failure. fingers crossed 10.10.3 fixes it. hope my speakers don't blowout in the meantime.

Bad noise from USB audio input

Using Roland UA-30 USB audio input device with ibook 1.2ghz with Logic Pro 7.
Getting nasty noise. Any other ways of getting audio into my ibook without the fuzz and buzz ?

ok first of all to help your ibook 1.2ghz's power, upgrade your rams, atleast 1.5GB, safer side will be 2.5GB
2) get the pro app if you haven't done so
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/proapplicationsupport30macosx1039.html
3) I was gonna say get the latest update for the UA-30 but it comes with OSX
4) try not to set you buffer size too high, try around 128-256 or better 512
5) make sure your cables are good/pro cables
6) record using other applications to see if its logic or just the card itself
