Facetime Audio Issues with Logitech Webcam

I have been experiencing audio issues with Facetime with my Apple Mac Mini A1283 and Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 ever since I upgraded to Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10. The webcam worked fine before upgrading to OSX 10.10 and 10.10.1. During Facetime calls my the video works okay, but the audio makes me sound like "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and the other person on the receiving end sounds high pitched, as well. Other apps work just fine (i.e. Skype), just Facetime. I tried upgrading to 10.10.1, but the issue has yet to be resolved. Apparently I am not the only one experiencing this issue.

Please look into this issue as I have already contacted Logitech, as well.

Submit your FaceTime feedback directly to Apple via Apple's OS X Product Feedback.

Camera app not working with logitech webcam with new windows 8.1 update

My Logitech camera app was working fine before win 8.1 update.
ALL drivers are updated.
Camera works fine when I run Logitech program/software, just won't work with camera app included win windows 8.
I just get a dark screen.
I searched forums. This appears to be a common problem. Microsoft Techs just state uninstall camera app and reinstall. But, this is an app that won't let me reinstall. Plus, I search Microsoft Store and can't find the camera app.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

I'm having more or less the same issue, but it extends beyond just the app. I'm replying here because this is the topic I was referred to by one of your support members on twitter and I'm trying to help keep things organized so that hopefully one day Microsoft
can solve the issue.
I have the Logitech Webcam HD C 525 which worked perfectly fine on my Windows Vista Home Premium machine. I recently built myself a computer and purchased Windows 8.1 complete (I heard that you could chose the OS language and as I'm living overseas I was really
happy to finally be able to use Windows in English).
I'm using Windows 8.1 64 bit and got around to installing skype on Christmas eve so I could video chat with my family back home. However, I ran into an annoying issue when trying to use the webcam. I installed the latest drivers and applications clean and straight
directly from Logitech, plugged in the webcam and it was not detected.
Following the troubleshooting info from Logitech, I then switched my camera from a USB 3.0 port to a 2.0 one, this shouldn't matter, but I tried it anyway. It changed nothing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers multiple times with no change.
After a bit of reaching out on twitter I had a friend suggest using ONLY the Microsoft drivers for my device. I COMPLETELY removed and deleted the device and drivers from my machine and then installed them using the info found here in the troubleshooting section:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/camera-app-faq.
I plugged my camera back into the 2.0 port and my camera flicked on for 2 seconds (preview included) then shut off again and told me it wasn't detectable. I opened Skype and it seemed ok. When it came time to actually Skype with my family skype could no longer
detect my webcam. It flicked on and off briefly and told me it wasn't detectable.
The current state of my webcam is that it is buggy and unreliable. Opening skype or the logitech app or ANY app that uses my camera yields the same result: an endless loop of my camera flickering on and off, and messages of "not detected" between
images from my camera. The camera still works on my old computer normally, thus it is not an issue with the camera itself.
I have read many people having my same issue with various webcams (not just Logitech because I briefly considered buying a Microsoft one) and the one thing in common was it was all on Windows 8.1
As posted in a few posts above I downloaded and ran Process Monitor while I opened skype and my camera sat through the endless detect/non-detected issue it has currently. I hope I have the log information saved correctly (if not I can re-do it, it is not difficult
to reproduce as it happens all the time). I could not figure out how to copy/pase the information in the log file, so here is a link to my log file:

Vista 64, Latest Driver & X-Fi Elite Pro: Audio issue with Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Pes 20

Hi,i have formatted XP S.P.2 and now i'm using Vista Ultimate 64.I have got an X-Fi Elite Pro and i have installed all the applications using the CD-Rom.I updated the driver, Alchemy and Mediasource to the latest version.The system is totally clean and updated (I used Windows Update when i finished to install Vista and nothing was installed). I would like to know why i cannot play Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 like in XP: when i enter in the game i have a noise (looks like the noise of the needle in old gramophones...) and i cannot use the speakers (Creative ProGamer G500).If i turn the volume to 0 i can hear it too... i have to switch off the speakers or exit the game to delete it.Is it another bug I tried to uninstall and doing a new installation of the game but... no way men... Thanks p.s.After year and 4 months (release date of Vista) is it possible to have a decent driver... The Audio Quality in Vista Ultimate 64 bit is lower than in XP and the same wave files have distortion with the low and middle-high volume (60-70).
Problems that i have never had in XP... i cannot reinstall XP another time. I bought Vista in 2006 and i cannot use it till you'll release a good sw.
Have we to wait till 200 for a fuc.ing working driver
My Hw.: Intel Core 2 Quad 6600, DFI Lanparty DK, 2GB DDR800 Team Group, X800XT 52MB, Enermax Noisetaker 600W, Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, Creative ProGamer G500, Plextor PX76SA, Logitech G5 and G5.

The problem is now official: other customers have problems with some games (Pes 2008 and Crysis in particular). I'll show u the main italian hw. forum. There is a thread of more than 500 pages just about Creative X-Fi: http://www.hwupgrade.it/forum/showth...42043&page=550 I would like to know if u test drivers before sharing... because i don't know what you did in more than year.You should meditate, people... I paid more than 400 $ for an Elite Pro and after year and 4 month i cannot install Vista 64 too for audio issues with mp3-wave files and Pes 2008 or Vista 32 bit for problems with Pes 2008. This is my latest Creative product, you can trust.

Sound / Audio issues with Google Chrome

Hi guys,
I have this audio issue with a new Macbook Air (2013 base model).
When I stream audio / video (eg podcast, YouTube, NBATV) via Google Chrome, there is the static or clicking sound which you could hear both through the built in speakers and through the headset.
Brought it in to the Apple Store yesterday and they acknowledged the sound on Chrome. HOWEVER when using Safari, this clicking / static sound is no longer audible. I can probably record an audio clip to demo this further. The genius concoluded that this is probably an issues with Chrome or codecs that its using rather than the actual laptop. No replacements at this stage.
I have an old MBA 11” where this issue does NOT occur.
The hesitation in using Safari is Flash. Some video streams such as NBATV, which I watch quite frequently use Flash. Chrome handles this quite well, with no separate installs required.
Has anyone else encountered this? Not sure if I can pursue this issue further with Apple.

Chrome shockwave flash plugin issue causing sound problems on the macbook:
Shockwave Flash 11.5 r31 (old version)
Shockwave Flash 11.5 r502
disabling r31 solved it.
Many people have checked their chrome plugins and found they had two plugins enabled. They disabled the older one and audio is perfect.
-Go to chrome://plugins
-Click and expand +Details in the Upper Right
-Check over the flash files.
-One is version 11.3.31.222
-Disable the odd version and reload the flash content
For some reason, CHROME has allowed two flash plugins to be enabled at the same time, and clearly the older version is the one causing the problems.
go to "Chrome://plugins" tab. Click “Details” at the upper-right corner of the page.
Find “Shockwave Flash” listing for the integrated plug-in on the page and click the corresponding “Disable” button. To identify the integrated plug-in, see the table of plug-in filenames above.
Find the “Flash” (or “Shockwave Flash”) listing for the system plug-in on the page and click the corresponding “Enable” button. To identify the system plug-in, see the table of plug-in filenames above.
disabling Shockwave Flash 11.4 r31 resolved the problem for most people.
When people double checked: if they re-enable Shockwave Flash 11.4 r31, ....the distorted / broken audio happens again.
Hope that solves it for you

Facetime on Mac Pro with Logitech Webcam

I have a Logitech webcam that works just fine with Skype on my Mac Pro running the newest Snow Leopard. But, the new Beta Facetime for our computers is NOT finding my webcam. Is there something that I am missing?

It didn't work...
How can I verify that the update was installed correctly? As I had to restart manually due to a program interfering with the auto restart after the update
I think the necessity of manual restart indicates that the Combo is NOT installed correctly. Freezing during the install is a sign that something is wrong:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4150
Perhaps your "interfering" program is incompatible with Snow Leopard:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3258
Unless you have a better plan or get better suggestions, I think it is time to start over. *_Backup your hard drive_*, "zero" the disk, reinstall Snow Leopard, and then apply the Combo Update.
*Do not install any third party software until your system is working and thoroughly tested.*
Once you have OS X working correctly and updated, install and test FaceTime with your Logitech cam before you spend the time restoring your important files form your backup.

Audio issues with HDMI connection

I just bought a toshiba 40l5200u (40'' 1080p) and I'm having issues with connecting my macbook pro to it with a HDMI cable. The picture looks fine and everything, but the audio is horrible. The bass specifically sounds terrible, very gravelly if that makes sense. Dialogue is usually fine, but when something loud, for example, happens in during a movie the audio (bass mostly) gets very distorted, scratchy, and just a pain to listen to. The audio sounds perfectly fine when I play a DVD through a dvd player, so it the speakers on the tv don't seem to be the problem.
I was originally using a "Cable Matters Gold Plated Premium Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt to HDMI Male to Male Cable in White 10 ft" (here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CADYDO/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&p sc=1). I thought the issue might be with the HDMI cable, so I recently bought a "PNY A-DM-HD-W01 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter" (here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007B6YPAM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&p sc=1) and another HDMI cable, "BlueRigger High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet, Supports 3D and Audio Return" (here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XM9774/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&p sc=1) but that didn't fix the problem at all.
What I can deduce is that the problem isn't with the tv's speakers. Other than that though I have no idea. Any suggestions on what to do? I would be very appreciative. Thanks.

It sounds like a software problem. Try updating your Flash software and your audio drivers.

Audio Issues with MacBook Pro (Late 2008)

I am seeing an occasional issue with my MacBook Pro (Late 2008). The Audio will go out... and instead you will just hear static-like clicking sounds when and audio even happens. For example... when you have the up/down volume notification on... and you change the audio volume.. you hear clicks. Or... when you open up a file that has audio.. you will hear the static-like click when the audio starts to try to play.
The work around per-se is to completely shutdown and turn the notebook back on. A simple restart does not seem to fix it... it looks like the system needs to have a bit of energy drain first. Which... worries me that this is a hardware issue and not a driver issue.
Wondering how many others are seeing this???

I went to and Apple Support Center last week and I asked some questions about audio because my MBP was having troubles too. The tech told me audio issues are very frequent on these machines and sometimes you have to change a part of the soundcard. He also added you have to bring the MBP to a support center if you're having the problem several times - in my case I'm waiting the next "crash" since I had only 2 issues so far... If you're under warranty go for a check up and see if it really needs assistance. Goodbye

TS3367 FaceTime Audio Troubles with Headphones w/4S and Mini

Two days ago I started having an issue with using headphones through FaceTime. The other party can hear me but I can't hear them, stopped working on both my 4S and iPad Mini. Tried restarting both of them and still nothing. I have the latest updates on the Mini but not the 4S so there's two different iOS's having the SAME problem. I can listen to music and videos through the headphones but once I try FT I can't hear a peep, and no the mute button isn't selected and the volume is turned up. I'm an IT guy by trade, but these are my first two apple products and have had them both for a while so was wondering what was up when this stopped working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This has helped people hearing warbled sound through their earbuds. Maybe it could help you, too?
"Hello everybody,
I have found a solution for my problem, I hope it can help you guys too. I found this following link to get my ipod open:
http://www.answerbag.com/q_view.php/30180
When I opened it I discovered that the connection to the little print (?) where you plug in your headphones was loose (it is a piece with both the headphone plug and the hold function). So I simply reconnected it, and voila, my ipod was fixed! Good luck!"
"I had the same problem and fixed it by following the procedures to opening the mini to replace the battery. Then you will see the CB that the headphones plugs into. This CB (circuit board) plugs into the main ( mother board )
Mine had worked it's way partly out. I pushed this plug back on securely and the headphones now work. Hope this helps. You can find the instructions for changing the battery by googling changing the battery on a mini IPOD."

Premiere Pro 6 and Audition Audio issues with Kona Lhi

Hello,
When I have Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition open at the same time, and I send an audio clip from Premiere Pro to Audition for editing, I have no sound in Audition. If I have only one of these programs open, the audio works fine in both. Since these programs are linked together it is essential that I have audio in both, even though, both programs are open. Is there a driver fix or some other way to get Premiere Pro to release the Kona Card LHi when switching to Audition? I am using a Mac Pro 2 x 2.4 6-core 24MB Ram 1333 DDR3 and Quadro 4000 with Kona Lhi Drivers 10.4.4 with Adobe presets.
Thanks,
Dunamis Starr | TV Department

Hello Dunamis,
Unfortunately this is a known issue with the Kona card. I know this is something they would like to fix but I'm uncertain on the timeframe.
There are times when this workflow will work without issue but when it goes into the bad state you will need to quit the apps.

Audio issue with Youtube video

I am creating some videos to upload to Youtube. I am having a problem with audio. I am creating and uploading using Adobe Premiere CC and Media Encoder. When I upload the video to Youtube, I have no issues. The problem I am facing is when I play it on mobile phone, I get now audio tracks (vocal) playing through the phones speaker. I do get the audio track I rendered through After Effects. However, I can hear the vocals On a PC, Ipad etc. I can hear the vocals through a headphone plugged into the phone or via bluetooth. I am using the H.264 codec with youtube 1080 settings. Any suggestions and yes I have tried a different phone to see if it was and issue with the phone.

This might be your problem:

FaceTime Audio Issue? Every call from iPhone 6 to iPhone 6 uses FaceTime Audio

I have a Iphone 6. My wife has a iPhone 6. We have used FaceTime Audio a few times in the past to connect when I was traveling internationally and / or no reception but I had wifi. My problem is now EVERY call is connecting us via FaceTime Audio despite NOT attempting to connect that way. In both our contacts I have changed the phone number field labeled iPhone to the field labeled mobile From the one labeled iPhone. We are both aware on how to make a FaceTime Video and / or Audio call and are NOT doing it that way. Pretty strange. Nothing against FaceTime audio but I would prefer to make the decision on when to connect that way and when to not. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

thanks for the suggestion unfortunately that did not work. Deleated each others contacts and made a NEW one with a Variant of each others names so that it was completely new entry. Same thing. Every call is FaceTime audio. I am really perplexed.

Flash audio issue with Firefox

I came across an issue in firefox relating to adobe Flash. I'm also adressing the issue with adobe as it might be related to action script in the SWF. However if that were the case I don't quite understand why it's limited to Firefox.
The problem is as follows. Using a simple mp3 player to play news highlights i came across an issue where that if other tabs or windows were open where flash audio played (like a youtube video) the audio in all these tabs/windows would cease as soon as the simple mp3 player was loaded or the stop button was pressed. This proved to be a problem among many of our customers who listen to online radio via our players (in a popup window/tab/seperate window) and browse on our site where this mp3 player is loaded. I provided a test environment where you can find the player.
http://www.classicfm.nl/audiotest/
Test by having flash audio playing and open the above link in another tab or window. As the player loads it stops all audio.
Kind regards

I've been looking everywhere, google, adobe forum and one thing strike me... all, or almost all post about that in adobe forum have been ignored... Why ?
On google i found a lot of people saying it is impossible and some saying it is, that they managed to fix theirs, but it is still not working for me. I followed and tryed a lot of method that seem to work for them, but it isnt working for me.
Adding this
<embed src="Video/Menu.swf" quality="high" width="2000" height="950" name="Menu" align="middle" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent"/>
Is not helping much.
Please it is critical for me that my flash allow the click through on Chrome and Firefox because my flash cover the whole screen as you see, 2000x950 and depending what you do in my website, it will fill the screen or not, and i still have html link that need to be clicked that are not inside the flash itself, thus why i need the click through.
Thanks

Bose Companion 5 audio issues with games

I recently purchased a set of Bose Companion 5 speakers for my Mac Book Pro. After setting them up according to the manufacture's specifications, they had no trouble playing from iTunes or DVDs, or games that use 2.1 audio (DEFCON, Halo).
However, for newer games (Quake 4, Spore, and Command & Conquer 3), I either receive a heavily distorted (almost static quality) output or no sound at all (Quake 4). These games have no issue with audio either through the computer speakers, earbuds, or Sennheiser USB headphones.
I have spoken with Bose, and they suggested that my computer may not have a powerful enough processor to handle the USB audio in tandem with the game. I find that highly unlikely.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be grateful.

I can't add any value here but take a look at StarDeb55's thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6107756

Audio Issue With Premiere Elements 11

I have a project that I have been working on and have exported it to a .mov file just fine a few months ago. I recently decided to change some clips and add different ones to it. Somehow in this process my audio stopped exporting! It's still there and plays just fine in Premiere but not export with the video no mater what format that I save it in. When exporting, I have double-checked to make sure that the "Export Audio" box is checked. I've tried replacing the MP3 audio file with a WAV version of it and that didn't work. I went back to my original project file and now that won't even export the audio. I also did a test and created a new project with a new video clip and separate audio file and the sound is exporting but cuts in and out. I did another test and exported a clip that was with it's original audio file from the camera and it was fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I'm all out of ideas to try and hair to pull out...
Thanks.

I'm not sure how that can help me. The problem is within the file not the player. I had sent one directly to Vimeo and the audio isn't there either. Now I just tried again after a reboot and I got audio fo 9 seconds and then in dropped.
