Entire System Audio mutes randomly while working in Premiere

Hi everyone
Just recently switched over to Premiere Pro CS6 at my office. I'm an editor for a web video production company and so far I've been having quite a few problems with Premiere.
The biggest issue is that randomly, maybe 10 times a day, the audio for my entire system will drop out while editing in Premiere. At first I was resorting to doing full restarts of my computer and the problem would fix itself, but now I've discovered that if I go into "Activity Monitor," search for "coreaudiod" and then force restart that activity, the audio will reset itself for the system, but not Premiere. I still have to then restart premiere to get the audio working again in my project.
I've seen other people mention similar issues but I have yet to find a solution. Can anyone help? Thanks so much.
Here are my computer specs:
iMac
27-inch, Mid 2011
Processor 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
v. 6.0.2

I've worked on two projects so far and it's happened both times. The first project was using ProRes source footage and then outside video assets were brought in that were H264.
Now I'm working on a project that is using Canon DSLR H.264 native footage and video assets that are in H264 and a few that are XDCAM EX.
Also using many still images but it seems as though it will happen randomly when I load a video clip into the Source window. The video clip will play with audio in the source monitor, but then when I bring it into the timeline this is when the entire system audio will drop out and mute entirely.

Volume missing in system tray, mute buttons not working

hi, i just reformatted and installed the latest drivers for my Creative Soundblaster Digital 5. (dell) card, and at first everything was fine..
Now they Icon for sound is missing from the system tray.. My volume dial and mute button no longer work. and yes i have gone in and selected to have it appear in the tray.. that does nothing.
Also, all other sounds are working except for sounds from web browsers.. and I have all the necessary pluggins installed..
thanks creative... great products...Message Edited by maluut on 0-0-2006 05:07 PM

I have a similar problem with my elite pro card and would also like an answer.
I installed the new drivers and now my volume knob does not work nor can I adjust volume with the remote control. The mute button does work though.
Also why such an annoyance as to need the original disc in order to make the control panel work in the system tray? shouldn't driver updates be complete?
Also...what's up with the max volume white noise during the driver install which made my ears ring and nearly blew out my speaker system?

System Audio Capture - Won't Work

Hello all,
I'm trying to capture my system audio and I cannot get Cp8 to do just that. I'm running the most recent version of Cp8 on my MBP OS X 10.9.5. I open a new video demo, with system audio selected, with or without a mic. The mic will capture just fine, no system audio.
I have a request to capture some Skype interview and Tuesday, any help will be great!
Thank you in advance

Hi there,
Have you tried configuring 'Soundflower' audio driver? . Please refer to the below link for more information.

HP XW4600 Vista freezes randomly while working (no specific program or time)

Dear sirs,
A customer of mine is having issues with 4/5 identical HP XW4600 PC's in their company which are running Windows Vista. After some time the computer just freezes. Nothing can be done, only a hard reboot can bring the PC back to life.
After checking the eventviewer, I see that nothing is reported on the time of the freeze. Only when the system boots, it states that there was a cold reboot, but that's it. There is no special software installed on the computers (MS Office 2007, Archicad, autocad, java). First it started occuring with two PC's and now it's with 4/5.
I alraedy did a clean install of Windows Vista because the PC was given to another user, but still the same problem. I updated the firmware of the chipset, GPU, Bios, HDD with the latest drivers. Even tried installing different drivers for the GPU, but this has no effect. The system randomly freezes while using different programs.
I really have no idea what to check anymore. I already did a stresstest and drove the hardware of the PC to its limit and no freeze occured then.
What else is there to do? Is this because of a specific update from Microsoft or just the interacting between Windows Vista and the underlying hardware? Has someone else from HP had any complaints about this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Here is some system information about the computer which recently has been having issues:
1.
HP XW4600
Productnumber: KK508ET#AK6
Serialnumber: CZC9167GF6
OS: Windows Vista SP2 x64
GPU: NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700
RAM: 8GB
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9950

Hi Silencer001:
I understand that Vista randomly freezes for not apparent reason. I have included a link to "HP PCs-Computer Locks up or Freezes", although it is for Windows 7 you should be able to follow the same steps.

Retina display on Mac Pro goes off randomly while working

My client has the latest Mac Pro (cylinder) with two screens, one of which is the latest Apple Retina display.
In my client's own words, here's the problem:
"My monitors have been really buggy. The retina display just cuts out - then randomly comes back on.
I have verified that all cords and plugs are secure and that the power source is on... it's been doing this since the beginning but is worse now.
Sometimes one stays on and the other goes off -- sometimes it switches. When I reboot the same thing happens.
I ran disk utility permissions and repair just in case and all seems to be in order."
Mac Pro (64G RAM)
I searched online but haven't found any info on this problem
Any ideas?

Howdy generatech,
To help resolve or troubleshoot the issue with these monitors intermitently turning off on their own, I would use this part of the following article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Adobe Media Encoder pausing rendering while working in Premiere Pro

Hello everyone,
So I am redering a video in Adobe Media Encoder and at the same time I am editing a new one in Premiere Pro.
I noticed that AME is constantly pausing the rendering and did not know why. It turns out that while I'm editing a video in Premiere Pro, I am constantly pressing the space bar to start/pause the video I'm editing. While I do that, AME keeps pausing/unpausing the rendering. Somehow, pressing the space bar in PP has an effect in AME.
I have no clue why it does that because the Premiere Pro window has the focus, not the AME one.
Has anyone ever seen that?
I use Windows 8 and Adobe CC.

Hi Rallymax,
Yes I do queue footage by having an Autowatch set up on the directories where the video is written to. I rarely do a direct export unless testing new settings.
Don't take this as gospel but I too had a feeling that GPU acceleration didn't happen with AME, only direct export. Not sure where that came from, I did watch some of the recent Adobe TV Web Seminar's about new features of CC products etc, so maybe on one of those?
I found this while trying to find out where I had seen it but it is from AMD site not Adobe so whether it's fully 100% correct I dunno:
Adobe Media Encoder
The Adobe Media Encoder (AME), with support for OpenCL™ and GPU acceleration, automates the production of multiple encoded versions of source files, sequences, and compositions in Premiere Pro CC. With the GPU-accelerated AME and AMD graphics technology, editors can quickly encode projects and output files for virtually any destination. AMD GPUs handle the heavy lifting, freeing the system’s CPU to perform other functions.
I will try the same test as Jason, if I can find any AVHCD video and see what the results are. Will be interesting.

Switching tabs while working with Premiere Pro CS5

Hello there.
I am currently working with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and I notice that when I'm reproducing/previewing the timeline or am recording, for example, an audio track, everytime I switch tabs (switch to another window or to desktop), in this case the recording stops. I've searched around Preferences and in help files and I cannot find an option to make Premiere continue what he's doing despite me changing windows. Is this even possible? It would be very helpful.
Cheers!

>Is this even possible?
No... PPro must have full control of the computer to work... shift to another program and PPro stops

Is it possible to render previews on one computer while working on the project on another?

Hi!
Even with CS5 and a cuda card I still need to render a lot since I'm using lossless image sequences as my intermediate forms.
Would it be possible to take advantage of having multiple computers while working with Premiere? Maybe one computer could be dedicated just for preview rendering while the other one could be used for regular editing simultaneously? Is there anything on the market that does this?
I welcome any discussion on the subject!
Thanks!

About the only thing you can do with Premiere is export out a sequence in the background while you continue working, then bring that back into Premiere and lay it down above the original sequence.
Of course, if you wish to continue working on the same sequence, this won't work.
Background rendering would be a very welcome addition to Premiere. Hell even Encore can do that.

Audio cuts out at random while playing songs in itunes

While playing songs in itunes audio will frequently drop out completely across the entire system. The song will still be in play mode but the track progress indicator doesn't move. There's no slowdown or spinning beachballs, activity monitor doesn't indicate any processes hogging resources, and there are no other noticeable effects other than zero audio output. The problem resolves temporarily if I pause itunes then click the volume up/down keys and click play again. Any clue as to how I might resolve this annoying issue?

Hi. What OS X release? (10.x.?) iTunes? On this G4 1,25 single now connected I got 10.4.11 and iTunes 7.0.2 Works fine.

Audio randomly stopped working

The sound on my computer randomly stopped working yesterday. I think it happened when I installed wine, but I'm not sure...I use alsa and it worked before. I tried rebooting a few times and reinstalling alsa, which didn't help. I did unmute in alsamixer, so that should be ok. From lspci:
00:08.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP79 High Definition Audio (rev b1)
I don't know what other information is necessary, so please tell me what other info would help figure out the problem. I don't see how wine would affect the audio as I had it installed before and the sound worked, I uninstalled for a while to attempt to get rid of left over menu items of uninstalled Windows programs which didnt work but thats not really a problem. I installed Wine again and I have problems this time. I've tried to get sound from my laptop speakers and headphones and through audacious and youtube, and nothing worked. I looked at the alsa page on the wiki, under https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Al … on_Startup but that is only for people who have multiple sound cards, which I don't (as far as I know lol). Audio is fairly important for me (not vital but still... ) so please help. I probably didn't supply enough information, so tell me if there are any log files I should post or something. I looked through /var/log but didn't see any files looked like they would have something to do with sound/alsa. Thanks

No errors, but only the first test, pcm0 worked. Everything else only gave silence. That didn't help really because audacious/youtube doesnt play either. So I guess it isn't alsa specifice, and therefore isn't wine's fault. (I think?)
It is normal that you only get audio from "HD Audio play front" unless you have a 5.1 setup, so oss works as expected.

Mac pro 5,1 / 10.8.2 / 10.0.7 - while working in fcx and the program and the system hangs (freezing)

mac pro 5,1 / 10.8.2 / 10.0.7 - while working in fcx and the program and the system hangs (freezing). Only moves the mouse pointer. In addition to disconnecting from the mains, nothing helps! what to do?

Yes, it would if you ran it on the new MBP which is the reason I am saying install rather then clone.
If you clone then you are only getting the same code as the old MBP which probably will not have the correct drivers.

How to delay the audio to lip sync? (of the entire system)

I`m using a LED 32" LG screen via hdmi, but the audio is outputing directly via usb to my Mbox Mini, and the image have a small delay (5 frames) but the audio not, so the result is out of sync videos.
Of course there`s tons of apps that can solve the problem by compensating, like VLC and MPlayer X, but the problem is that i`m a video editor and use FCP and Motion all the time. For playbacking with these apps (after making the 5 frames compensation) turns into a perfect results, but during video editing it`s a pain to lip sync.
Of course as i know that the delay is 5 frames, when i output i could delay the entire audio, but it would be a pain making this everytime and for internet streaming the videos would still off sync.
There`s anyway i can delay the audio of the entire system?
PS: I`m using Lion 10.7,

If you want other activity to take place, you could use a
timeout object:
dialogue = window().new("D_XML_Test (Greek2)")
dialogue.filename = "path to file"
t = timeout().new("mOpenWindow", 60000, #mOpenWindow,
dialogue)
-- #movie script:
on mOpenWindow aWindow, aTimeout
if ilk(aTimeout, #timeout) then aTimeout.forget()
if ilk(aWindow, #window) then aWindow.open()
end
If you don't mind locking out activity, you could use the
delay()
function, but I wouldn't recommend that approach
