Fix found: Broadcom drivers, Firewire audio and audio glitches

Hi,
I've been working with MOTU (Mark of the Unicorn) trying to get my 828mk3 firewire audio device to work properly under Vista 64-bit in Boot camp (note I had same problems with 32-bit version).
The problem was that I would get audio glitches in the form of beeps from my audio device every 30s-1:30s. Each glitch would last about 1s (@10000Hz). After many tests, I discovered when I disabled the Broadcom driver (latest MacBookPro5,1 distributed version), the problem went away.
Does anyone know why a Wifi adapter could affect a Firewire 400 device? Note I had the same problem with my old MacBook3,1.. so the problem is not related to the new MBP.
Anyways, I hope someone fixes the Broadcom driver; never-the-less, if you have this problem, this is your solution
Thank you,
Michael

No sound with Vista Ultimate on iMac.
I downloaded from this site and fixed it.

How can i fix a clip when the video and audio are not matching up?

How can i fix a clip when the video and audio are not matching up? I imported the video from a junkdrive in a .VOB format and concerted to a .mov the videos were filmed on a miniDVD recorder.

I would try detaching the audio and the dragging the audio to the left or right until it lines up.

Please FIX, Apple : Macbook Multi-Touch BSOD and Audio Problem in Vista

Readers: The below message is sent to www.apple.com/feedback and to mac-related sites. If you encounter the same problem as I did, please reply and acknowledge the problems highlighted in this thread.
Dear Apple,
First of all, I would like to compliment you on delivering the excellent new MacBook Aluminum series. As someone converted from the PC camp (no less by your expensive and convincing "PC vs Mac" marketing campaigns) , I was delighted how great life is on the Macbook and Mac OS.
However, life on Vista/XP is another story altogether. While I love to do EVERYTHING on Mac, you have to admit there are a lot of times I have no choice but to do my computing on Windows (eg. gaming and many sites still support only IE). Below are the Vista "show-stoppers" i encountered while using Bootcamp/Vista.
Note, I do understand where Apple's priority is in terms of OS support, but the very fact is that you spent so much money converting PC users to Mac (mainstream advertisement and such) so I think you are obliged to meet the expectations you set. Also, many users like me are paying a premium over similarly-spec Windows notebook. So I think it's only right that as customers, we request that you fix these "show-stoppers" which make Macbook unusable under Vista ( which contradicts your advertisement marketing claims...else sooner or later, someone else will be frustrated enough by the issue to raise a class action lawsuit. Won't be me though cause that's too troublesome but it probably will convince me not to do make my desktop switch to iMac ).
1) Multi-Touch BSOD under Vista
I've consolidated some forum complaints below to illustrate how widespread this problem is. Frequently, the dreaded BSOD pops in out-of-the blue while I am not doing anything particularly complex on Vista. The same message always appear that the problem is caused by "applemtp.sys". This is with latest MTP drivers and even disabling the "Apple Multi-Touchpad Mouse" under Device Drivers. I am at a loss what to do here cause it seems that the only way out is not to use the touchpad in Windows !

2) Audio Crackling/Disappear
Again, I've consolidated some threads below.
Many users hear cracking noises under Vista, when playing MP3, streaming internet audio and gaming. My experience in gaming is that 80% of the time, the audio will be killed halfway in the game. I've got many titles(WoW, Battlefield 2, Last Remnant, COD 4..etc) so the problem is not confined to one title/publisher. Online research speculation believes that this is DPC-related issues due to Broadcom driver but I think the other part is also due to Keyboard Manager in Bootcamp. Even the audio driver itself may be an issue.

FME Firewire Video and Audio Support(not from Camera)

I can't seem to find any definitive answer on weather FME can
support both video and audio from a single Firewire connection that
is coming from an analog to digital Firewire converter box. I want
to take the analog audio and video feed, convert it to a Firewire
feed (using a Canopus DV converter) and feed that into a laptop.
Seems like that should work and both audio/video would be
present...
That being said, I have found a few conflicting reports on
weather or not both the audio and video will be recognized. I also
note that others have been having issues in FME with PCI cards (no
audio when it should be there) so I'm curious if anyone has tried
Firewire (not from a camera). Will it work in FME v2.5+? If not, is
there an elegant laptop analog to digital conversion solution (that
doesn't require using the crapy mic in or line in ports)? (RCA
connectors would be preferred.)
Thanks so much!
P.S. I'm disappointed with Adobe's lack of support on this
encoder. They claim Firewire is supported but I've only found a few
3rd party sources that say 'video only' and nothing concrete at
that (even in the downloadable manual). I'm also disappointed at
Adobe's lack of e-mail support for 'pre-sale' product questions.
Not supper great customer service!

FME should support audio and video from Firewire
source.

Firewire speeds and audio/video with Apple TV

Hello,
I hope someone can give me some advice regarding 400 vs 800 Firewire connections.
After picking up an Apple TV about 8 months back, I have decided to consolidate all the audio/video content on my wife's and my Macbooks.
Looking at grabbing a Mac mini and connecting a large hard disk via Firewire to that to store everything. I don't plan on connecting the Mac mini to the TV...will continue to use the Apple TV unit for that. However, while some some of the content will sync between the Apple TV unit and external hard disk connected to the Mac mini, I figure there will still be a good portion that would be shared/streamed off the external disk as it is viewed or listened to.
I currently have an Airport Extreme network, and I am able to share/stream video and audio from my Macbook to the Apple TV and it works great. My question is, when I add the Mac mini and start streaming/sharing off the external hard disk attached to it, will there be a difference in performance if the drive is connected via 400 Firewire vs an 800 Firewire?
I figure the wireless transfer between the Mac mini and the Apple TV would be the limiting factor, but felt it prudent to at least check if the Firewire connection would have an effect.
If not, then I plan on picking up a cheap, used older model Mac mini with the 400 Firewire port to save some cash. The machine doesn't need to do anything more than stay powered on with the iTunes app running and sending files back and forth to the Apple TV.
Thanks in advance!

+I figure the wireless transfer between the Mac mini and the Apple TV would be the limiting factor, but felt it prudent to at least check if the Firewire connection would have an effect.+

No doubt the wireless transfer is the weakest link in the chain. Firewire 800 is substantially faster than 400, so you would gain some future-proofing by going with it. And the 2009 Minis come with Wifi-N, while the older models come with G/B.
A used Mini will usually lack the Apple warranty.
Minis are so handy that you have to ask yourself, why is someone getting rid of it? My somewhat cynical answer is that many Minis being sold on the used market are being gotten rid of because of some lurking problem issue that the owner hasn't been able to resolve.
If you must buy an older model, consider an Apple refurbished Mini, which comes with full warranty and current software.

Recording Audio and Audio Instrument Tracks Simultaneously?

Hi all,
sometimes i'll leave an audio track armed (which my synth is hooked up to), while playing keys on an audio instrument track, and it usually creates some incredible textures. Every time I try to record the two at the same time, it never works. Is it in any way possible to record audio and virtual instrument tracks at the same time? Would it matter that I have the same synth hooked up as both (I use audio tracks for the synth, and MIDI for the virtual instruments)? Many thanks!

Thanks for the responses! I'm actually able to arm both an audio and a virtual instrument track at the same time, and I hear both playing over each other. But as soon as I begin recording, I notice that only the virtual instrument track is recording what i'm playing. Any way around this?

Audio and video glitches

As of the last few days, any time I play songs or videos on my iPhone it hitches at a certain point and skips to the next track. Videos will stop, crash to the home screen, and start from the beginning the next time I play them. I have already restored the phone and started fresh (not from the backup). Before the restore, only songs and videos that were added within the last few days had the issue, now every single track is affected. Here is the part that confuses me, it always at the exact same moment when I play them, but if I de-select the music and make it re-sync all the files, they still have the same issue, but at a different spot in the song! All songs are ripped from cd at 128 aac encoding, all videos done with handbrake at iPhone settings (480x, H.264). No hacking at all. It is driving me completely up the wall, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Message was edited by: j.brennan

Just for minor clarification, the time will continue moving after the audio stops for about 3 seconds, then it skips to the next song (audio) or crashes to the home screen (video). If I start the song or video and drag the slider past that point, it continues playing to the end without issue. As the days have gone on, it's getting worse and worse, some episodes would have multiple points that I would have to skip past. Videos change place on my iPhone far more often than songs, so that was what I noticed first. But despite several restore attempts, every track I transfer to the phone now behaves in this way. It is really frustrating, as I use this for its iPod functions more than the phone...

Unable to un-mute audio and audio icon now permanently onscreen

I have the return of an old problem on my MacBook: audio is being automatically muted in sys prefs and cannot be unticked. This results in the audio/volume icon permanently residing in the middle of the screen with all the volume bars visible and empty.
Does anyone know what is causing this odd behaviour or how to cure it? Curiously the same thing happened to my old iBook when it was upstairs in exactly the position and place as the MacBook now is, connected to TC wirelessly.

This appears to be connected to Bluetooth and more specifically, Bluetooth adaptors.

HDMI audio and Audio Out mutally exclusive now?

Hello,
I have a 2010 MBP and use an external display via HDMI as well as external speakers via the headphone jack. This worked just fine until a recent update. After a recent update, when I have my display connected via HDMI the audio out no longer works. While I am able to route sound to the display's speakers via the Sound Settings, I would much prefer to listen to sound via my Klipsch speaker system that is connected to the headphone jack.
When I remove the HDMI connection, the speaker system works fine. The moment it is plugged in, the sounds cuts out. This used to work fine?
Any body have any information on this? When I google search on this issue, all I see are people having trouble routing sound via HDMI - which is basically the opposite of my current problem. It appears as though audio is know mutally exclusive -> it can only be routed to HDMI if its connected. If it is not connected, then headphone jack works fine.
Thanks for your time.

when you did your update, it probably routed your audio through you HDMI cable which is it's main purpose since most people who coneects via HDMI doesn't hook anything to the source.
try hooking up your speakers to your display's headphone jack if you have one.
other than that, i don't know what else to tell you.
good luck...

Spectrasonics - White Noise, No Audio, and Audio/Midi Sync Sample issues

Just installed all of the spectrasonics software. Omnisphere, Trilogy, RMX, Atmosphere. Im getting very mixed results.
The patch plays, sometimes there's clicks. Then it goes to white noise. Then there's no output.
Thoughts? Thanks

I hear your point re Spectrasonics. Generally when you call a software specific provider, they tell you that they do not provide support for 3rd party software - e.g. Logic etc. Im not sure the troubleshooting is on the Spectrasonics side. Actually, all of them have worked succesfully at various points. Further, the white noise now comes and goes with EXS 24, Battery and others. So, it does not appear to be a problem that is specific only to Spectrasonics.
I use an Apogee Duet. I have tried different buffer settings (256 and 512) and that seems to help with certain apps. E.g. Kontakt appears to work better with less latency at 256. Spectrasonics, when it works appears to work better on 512.
Thanks

How to combine rtp data containing video and audio?

Hi
I have a problem. I was examining with AVTransmit3.java and AVReceive3.java. I found that AVTransmit3 sending video and audio with different ports. It's okey as it is done as JMStudio. but my question is how can I receive this packets as raw bytes and combines them into one media file to play at a time in a player. May be very fundamental question but tough for me as i m novis as jmf programmer.
waitin for repply...................

Look in the JMF Guide regarding multiplexors and demultiplexors. It give the whole breakdown of how this works (and I think examples).

Easy clean up of video and audio

Help. I have one .MOV file that i digitized from a VHS tape. I would like now to fine an easy way to clean up the entire 2 hour file. Exposure, saturation, color correction, and audio hiss. Can someone help?

Whatever is required wont be dealt with by any "automatic" process ( magic bullet)
What is wrong with it that you think it needs "fixing".
Exposure, saturation, color correction, and audio hiss.
Part of the magic of historical stuff is the "ruff edge"...so how much effort do you want to put into this?

Analyzing DV Audio - Validating Audio Data

Sony UVW-1600 through ADS Pyro A/VLINK using S-Video in/Firewire 400 out
Audio through Alesis MultiMix 8 USB mixer - 44.1 kHz output only
Just did clean install of Snow Leopard, reinstall/updates on FCP
Otherwise same configuration as before but lost original Custom AV settings and Easy Setups.
Now when I capture BetaSP material, video through the A/VLINK and audio through the Alesis, I'm getting messages I never used to get:
If I set my Capture Preset to 48 kHz audio, at close of capture I get "Analyzing DV Audio - Validating Audio Data"
If I set my Capture Preset to 44.1 kHz (matching the Alesis output), I get a long message saying the audio data rate of my captured media file doesn't match the sample rate on my source file.
From checking old captured clips, I see that I've always been capturing at 48 kHz but never got the "Analyzing DV Audio" message before. Not seeing any sync problems.
Anyone know why I'm suddenly getting this message? I don't want to capture audio through the DV stream as my source tape levels are all over the place. Thanks

Okay, I've answered my own question (I think) but could be helpful to others: in setting up my replacement (after the reinstall) Capture Preset I made a custom preset that selected "USB Audio Codec" for "Quicktime Audio Settings Device." So FCP was seeing video come in through the Firewire stream and audio through the USB stream. It evidently wanted to "validate" the rejoining of the two. I've just changed that Quicktime Audio Settings Device back to DV Audio and now I don't get the validating message. In OS X System Preferences I have "USB Codec" chosen for default audio input so FCP must be using that setting but "thinks" it's getting audio from the Firewire DV stream. I'd tried that earlier but lost audio completely during FCP capture. Now it's working. Odd...
