Flash Audio Problem -- Audio stops abruptly

Gidday guys,
As part of a website, I currently have a page that includes
11 different flash files. For each flash file, visitors can click a
button to play a small audio clip, and click the button again to
stop the clip from playing.
The problem I have is that each flash file plays 1-2 seconds
or so of it's sample before stopping abruptly. Each sample is
supposed to be around 20 seconds long. IF I remove 10 of the 11
flash files from the page, the one that is still there will play
fine - but as soon as I introduce multiple flash files, the audio
starts dropping out again.
I've tried arranging the audio into the flash files in two
ways.
Firstly, I just linked the mp3 files from the library to the
stage via
quote:
soundInstance = new Sound();
soundInstance.attachSound("voice");
& then
quote:
soundInstance.Start;
noticing that this caused a problem, I tried making a flash
file that called a .swf with the streaming sound in it such as:
quote:
playbit.loadMovie("annavoice.swf");
but the problem still remained. I've tried it from 2
different PCs, and the problem shows in both. It's not a bandwidth
issue, as it occurs whether I try to load the page locally or from
my server...Any suggestions for solving this problem would be
really really appreciated - cheers gang. :D

NEW! iPhone recent audio problems/audio stops during phone call

I have only noticed this problem for the last 1-2 weeks. I didn't think much of it, until 2 other friends were talking about the same problem.
I will be in the middle of a conversation on my phone, when I notice that the other person isn't talking back...I'm getting zero audio out of the earphone. They can hear me just fine, I've discovered. I have to disconnect the call and then call them back.
One friend has an iPhone 3G. I have the 3GS. I'm using firmware 3.0. He has updated it to 3.0.1. Another friend has a 3GS with firmware 3.0.1 as well. Same problem.
I have noticed that it MOST frequently happens after about 4 minutes of conversation time, but it's not every time.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? This isn't the usual dropped calls or "call failed" message.

Guys, my daughter in Norman at OU has had problems all day. Phone shows 3G connection and full strength on bars but slow texting, dropped calls and sometime even unable to call out. Rebooted phone twice with no luck.
Strange its Oklahoma. Several have made appts to genius bar. Tried to make on in OKC at Penn Square around her classes but could not. Only a few available next week on Tues and Weds. They seem pretty booked up - I bet with the same problems.
I suspect this is an AT&T issue, but if anyone gets back from the Genius Bar with answers or ideas, please post them here so we can all learn. Thanks!

Audio problem: ipod pauses abruptely

Hi folks,
my 30 Gb Video iPod drives me mad.
I'm listening to my music, while walking/on the bus/wherever, when out of the blue it pauses (with or without the lock on).
So I unlock it, press on play, lock it again and after let's say 5 seconds it pauses againg. It could last for hours, if I don't gave up and say that the music is over. Then, the next time I put on my ipod, everything seems OK.....and abruptely, the nightmare starts.
Could anyone help me?
Bos
ps: Already tried to change headphone set. Nothing changes

I am having the exact same problem as the two mentioned above. Randomly walking down the street I get pauses with or without lock on. I tried formatting and restoring to factory settings and the same still occurs. I have tried sennhiesers/sonys/bose head phones and they all pause randomly.
Is there any fix to this?
How did you go about "filing" down the headphone jack? Is this safe to do?
EDIT: the funny this is I thought this was a feature too where it pauses when I take out the headphones but that doesn't actually happen. When I take my headphones out it actually keeps going, never pauses.

MacBook Pro Phantom Audio Problem - Audio decreases settings unchanged

I'm having a very strange issue with a MacBook Pro. Over the course of a presentation the audio output will slowly decrease until it is almost inaudible. I'm running the machine into a sounds system and I can turn up the MBP volume to compensate until I hit the max, but it continues to gradually reduce.
Could this be an overheating problem? The logic board on this machine was just replaced due to an issue where the optical out would not disengage so this is a brand new (less than a week old) logic board.
Any suggestions/solutions save having the board replaced again, or asking for a new machine?

I appreciate your response. I still have concerns:
The red-lite is off when my issue is happening.
The red-lite is on when my issue is happening.
It was not consistent. My concern is the Macintosh operating system not detecting the change. My other concern is it can _not_ be only a hardware switching issue, as Alsamixer, a software program, can make the switch toggle between off or on. If it was a hardware-only issue, Alsamixer would be a fail. And, if it is actually a hardware-only issue triggering a software 1 or 0 switch somewhere:
My final concern is 'where is this setting being stored' as clearning PRAM and reinstalling entire operating system after opertating system (Leopard to Lion and back to Leopard) after a disk wipe has no effect.
I guess it sounds to me, that OSX tries to be too user-friendly by not allowing peeps to change those options themselves. Is there a dscl command switch I can use to manually override such an effect? (Just in case I don't happen to have anything to stick into the mini-jack port)
Regardless, your answer is correct. Thank you both (Ciao and Allan Jones)

How come when I view flash videos my videos stop, but the audio plays and I see rainbow colored lines up and down the video.

How come when I view flash videos my videos stop, but the audio plays and I see rainbow colored lines up and down the video. I attached a image below.

ATR, just to make sure you understand me, all my video clips in my folders appear as the first frame of the video clip when I view my folders as (small, medium, large)icons instead of lists, when saved as .avi files but when saved as .mp4 files, those icons display as a graphic icon of filmstrip with a musical note on it. I do have various other methods to open with (quick time, windows media, winamp or real player) but prefer real player because I like it's quick and easy trimmer that comes along with it, since so many of my videos are just pet antics where you need to clip off the boring beginning and ends of the video.
I did go on a few of the icons and right clicked, Open With, and tried quick time and also Windows Media and it did nothing as far as how the file was saved for display, and they opened the same no matter which player I used...the actual video opens and plays right at it's first frame... but it's the way it is visually displayed in STORAGE that bugs me because it isn't immediately apparent to me what it is a video of (weddings, outside the house, pet antics)... it makes me have to actually title things and read titles where before I let it just be dates because I had the visual of that first frame as a reference. Obviously, this is a problem for unedited videos only, as anything I actually work with, I do give a title along with the date of the video.
I also just realized this seems to be the way ALL videos that are wrapped in .mp4 are displayed, as my bloggie camera's videos appear the same way. Now I know why! My other videos display as .avi's so I see the frame. Puzzle solved. Guess I'll just have to learn to live with it, as it seems to be how things display with the various formats.
Now I need to watch some tutorials to learn how this Premiere program works! It's all new to me, since this is the first time I've been able load any of my videos onto it. I haven't even been able to figure out how to trim on it yet!

HOW TO FIX NO AUDIO PROBLEM IN FLASH (4 SOLUTIONS)

This solution is for WINDOWS ONLY!!! Unfortunately I believe
it is a bug in flash itself as I have read more than one instance
of this same no audio problem occuring on MAC'S and LINUX based
systems as well. IF YOU KNOW OF SOLUTIONS TO THE MAC OR LINUX BASED
PROBLEMS, PLEASE POST THEM IN THIS THREAD.
Description of the problem: Video sites such as YouTube,
VideoSift, Break, Google Videos, Yahoo, and a plethora of others do
not stream embedded audio. Viewing a YouTube video, for example, on
VideoSift.com results in the video playing back with no audio.
However, by going directly to YouTube and playing back the same
video, it appears to work.
THERE ARE SEVERAL POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS.
Problem: You may be missing your WAVEMAPPER driver.
Cause: Wavemapper driver was removed during installation or
updating of the Flash Player. It might not necessarily be Flash
that removes it but apparently something does.
Solution #1: Google "Flash No Audio WAVEMAPPER" for
directions, its been covered a bunch, but basically requires
running REGEDIT and readding the WAVEMAPPER key to the appropriate
location and value in the registry. Its not as difficult as it
sounds.
http://weyland.be/wrdprss/index.php/2006/08/22/no-sound-in-macromedia-flash-player-9/
if your wavemapper key is installed correctly...
Possible Cause: Corrupted or damaged flash content preventing
audio streaming from working correctly.
Soltuion #2: Run CC Cleaner and delete only cached Flash
content. It is a free program, again just google "download CC
Cleaner". This particular solution worked for me.
If CC Cleaner also does not work, the description of your
problem may differ slightly. In my case on several computers, one
day it worked, the next day it didnt. If it never worked, this
would be a logical solution for you. One variation of this that I
have found is to create a new Windows User Account and log into it.
The reason the CC Cleaner method may work better is that the User
Accounts have their own separate cache folders so a corrupted cache
preventing audio playback on one profile will not be available on
the other User Account to cause the same problem. I wont explain
how to do this as the CC Cleaner will work better but if you are
curious, yet again google "create new windows user accounts". I
have also seen this method work on one of my affected computers but
it did not fix the issue on the account I was having problems with.
http://www.ccleaner.com Install
and run it, use it only to remove Flash under the Applications Tab,
Multimedia, Adobe Flash Player. Check it and uncheck everything
else, then hit Analyze then Run Cleaner.
Possible Cause: Missing Codec
Solution #2: Download and install the K-Lite Codec pack.
Again, google it. A CODEC stands for COmpressor DECompressor and is
a way to make audio and video files small enough to be transferred
on the internet. There are a lot of different codecs and if you
want to play back a video that was compressed using a particular
codec, you will need that same corresponding codec to decompress
your media source and view its content. Basically if you dont have
a codec, you cant observe the content of the media. If you have a
VCR and want to play back a DVD, you are out of luck unless you get
a DVD Player. DivX and XVid Codecs are some of the very popular
codecs used on the net, but to get those, I still suggest getting
the K-Lite Codec Pack.
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm
Solution #4: Go back to Flash 7. If it aint broke dont fix
it. This Final alternative is only to be used as a last resort.
You'll have to get rid of Flash 9 and go back to Flash 7. The
really tricky part here is that you have to prevent Flash from auto
updating itself. If you install Flash 7, and hit up YouTube, you'll
immediately get Flash 9+ installed again with the same problems. So
AFTER you uninstall Flash 9 (use Macromedias / Adobes uninstaller,
yet again go google it) make a new text file and name it MMS.CFG,
in the file put this one line "AutoUpdateDisable=1" (without the
quotes) and put it in BOTH your c:\windows\system32 AND
c:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash folders. This will prevent flash
from Auto Updating to 9+, then have to find some place to download
the old flash 7 installer. I found one here.
http://www.intercomm.com/downloads/Flash7.
Only problem is that most sites will try to make you install Flash
9 and Flash 7 does not work on all sites, but it does on some like
YouTube. DO NOT UPDATE TO FLASH 9+ IF YOU USE THIS METHOD.
You will probably want to IMMEDIATELY go to
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.htm l
after installing Flash 7 and UNCHECK the update feature
I've tried to write this quick little guide at 3AM so Im not
going to take more time to research other ways to fix this problem.
If you have other solutions, such as for MAC and LINUX, or feel
like adding on to something else that I've written here (links
would be useful to the downloads I suggested) or correcting any
mistakes I probably have made, please say so.
One of these solutions is bound to help you. Theres multiple
causes for this no audio problem so there is obviously multiple
fixes.

Flash Audio problem...

***Please note- I am a MAC user- currently running Tiger OS X
10.4***
I've noticed lately that I can't hear any Flash-based audio
on webpages, regardless of the browser (I mostly use Firefox, but I
also run Opera and Safari). Any Flash-based music player (i.e. the
ones used on MySpace) will load and appear to be playing, but no
sound comes out.
My speakers are fine. I can still play files via iTunes.
I noticed I started having the problem after I downloaded the
MSPlayer codec (
http://mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/).
I've deleted to codec, but still have the audio problem. I'm not
even sure if it's related, but the timing of it all leads me to
believe that it is...
I've tried re-installing the latest version of Flash and ran
Disk Utility, but still no sound.
Is there a particular system folder somewhere that I should
be looking for to make sure certain files are in order?
Any help would be greatly appareciated. Thanks!

Flash Media Encoder 8 - audio problem

I'm having an audio problem with Flash Media Encoder 8. I am
converting a long Quicktime movie to Flash - about 28 minutes.
After encoding, when I play it back, at about the 20 minute mark
the audio just drops out. I've developed somewhat of a workflow and
have done this with similar Quicktime files many times and have not
had this problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be
happening? Anyone else see this?
Some specs:
Flash 8, Mac OSX 10.4.10, MacBook Pro C2D

Five Pi,
It may have something to do with the audio rate in your QT
video. When using encoder, make sure your audio rate of your QT
file is higher than the audio rate of your Encoder settings.
Its just a guess, I have had the same problems, but I set the
audio quality to very high when exporting from Final Cut Pro, and
then set them to medium quality in encoder, and no more audio
problems.

Audio problem-- converting song to AIFF doesn't stop pops and cracks!!

i've converted mp3s to AIFF both thru itunes and quicktime. when i import them to my FCP HD timeline, they still sound distorted-- with the same cracks and slowness as it does when i try to play an mp3 without converting the song format.
i have made settings 48/16bit to match my footage.
why isn't this working? any tips?

hi david,
thanks for trying to help. i'm still having the audio problem-- the aiffs sound clean in both quicktime and itunes, crackly and distorted in fcphd.
my fcp sequence setting is for 1080i/60 HDV 29.97fps with audio set to 48khz/16bit stereo.
any ideas would be appreciated!
thanks,
sybil

Audio problems preloaded Captivate swfs in custom player

I have a slideshow-like custom Flash player that uses
standard preloader code - it loads external swf movieclips into a
holder clip, and stores references to them in an array. Once all
external swfs are loaded, the first clip starts playing and
navigation buttons allow the user to go through the "slides" at
will.
The problem: some Captivate-generated swf files have audio
that starts playing as the clips are preloading, and the audio does
not stop except with a stopAllSounds call. As needed, each loaded
swf is copied (so to speak) from the array to a clip on the stage,
loadedClip_mc, to be played and controlled. The player's pause
button, which works as follows:
loadedClip_mc.stop()
has no effect on the sound of the loaded Captivate clips.
Furthermore, the audio doubles-up when trying to play any
slide, and clicking play (loadedClip_mc.play() )
HERE IS THE MOST CONFUSING PART: this ONLY happens when the
player and the movies to be loaded are uncached - after the files
are visited for the first time, everything works great. Anytime you
revisit the player it is fine. However, if it is the first time
someone is visiting the custom player, or the browser cache is
cleared, once you visit the page the audio for all Captivates start
playing during preloading simultaneously and cannot be controlled.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi. I've experienced the same problem with audio and preload.
Sorry for my english, but - I dont know if I've understood the
matter- I think you are talking about to fix this problem using
actionscript code. Please, would you answer me one question? If I
can't change the code of the base clip generated by Captivate, is
it possible to add some code in my loaded clips to stop that audio
embedded in them when they are preloading? What would this code
be?.
I hope you understand me!
Thank you.

Entire Array of Audio Problems

Hello,
We just recently bought Apple's Final Cut Studio bundle, and it's been a real help. However, I'm running into some problems already. During my time with Final Cut Express, I had problems with audio segments "missing" when a section of the project was exported. For no apparent reason, in the exported file, certain audio tracks would simply cease to play. Sometimes this was solved with removing the track and pasting it back in, but not always. After we upgraded to Final Cut Pro, I had hoped that these problems would be solved. They were... at first. Now we're encountering them again. For some reason, selecting "Mixdown" from the "Render Only" menu seems to have abated the missing audio bug for now, but I don't know if that's really the reason. If anyone knows why these clips of audio are missing in the export, please tell me. Now, onto the next problem...
For some reason, audio clips won't fade out when they're supposed to. I have several audio clips which fade out gradually over the course of their playing, but when I export the project, these clips don't fade out, and instead they stop abruptly at the end. Obviously, this doesn't sound very good, as they're supposed to fade out. Does anyone know what is causing this?
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Another problem, less severe:
At times, while playing a section in FCP, the volume of my music will appear to dynamically adjust its volume to compare to what else is playing at the same time. This makes it very hard for me to adjust the volume levels of my clips properly, since I never know if its playing at the volume that it should be when I export it.

Strange audio problem playback

I have what's probably an easy problem but can't find an
answer anywhere here. When using "Play" or using the return key to
preview my project in Flash 8 on OS X, I can't stop the audio. The
audio is an MP3 voice over.
Pressing "Stop" or using the return key again stops the
playhead, but the audio continues no matter what I do. I can go
back to the beginning and play it again, and now I'll have two VOs
going on at once. The only way I can get the audio to stop is by
closing out the project.
This is making timing my animation to match what the VO is
saying very difficult. Any ideas?

I am having the same problem, but only after reinstalling XP
and all my software on a new hard drive. My previous hard drive
hadn't had a fresh install of XP in three years and was giving me
intermittent problems. However my swf's work properly on the old
drive but not the new one. I'm guessing it's one of my updates of
Firefox, flash player (was using 9,0,28,0 but now am 9,0,45,0). My
scenario is complicated because I'm using Flash Media Server, but
again it works on one drive and not the other. The odd thing for me
is that if I create my swf on the new drive with 9,0,45,0 and then
play it back when I boot from the old drive, it still has the same
double audio problem that plays similar to you. My play/pause
button has no effect and the audio just keeps going. If I do pause
the audio and wait for my audio to finish and then hit play again,
my scrubber bar moves but nothing plays until it gets to the end
and starts over. I was also getting double audio at times as well.
Could this be the new player??? Have you figured anything out since
you posted last? I'm using XP, flash 8, Firefox 2.0.0.4.

Audio Problem AGAIN!

I know there's so much questions about audio when rendering but I haven't found my answer
It works perfect when I rendering a comp without audio but when I turn the audio on in render settings and click on render it doesn't proceed rendering, somehow stops working and I have to stop rendering
then software not responding for a few seconds and after that showing an error message indicating the file may be corrupted and you may restart the program
I have used any format and settings but it seems the problem is the audio only and without it anything works fine!
I don't know if its a hardware issue or my AE software
I'm using adobe after effects cs5.5 on win7 64bit OS

Hey Mylenium here is some information
As I said I've tried different render settings but for example: I import a .mp4 file and add it to composition, A / V features are on, waveform is shown and sound is ok in RAM preview, then I add the composition to render queue leave render settings to "best settings" and output module to "lossless" it will render it perfectly without sound of course, then I simply click on "lossless" and check "Audio Output" and leave its default settings as it is, click on render button and then nothing happens, I stop rendering, software is not responding and after a few seconds here is the error message:
After Effects error: An output module stopped responding. The file may be damaged or corrupted. You may need to restart After Effects.
the file I used is a H.264 format, video codec is AVC and audio codec is AAC
system audio driver is Realtek HD Audio with driver version of 6.0.1.5859 directX version of 10.0 audio controller HD Audio and audio codec ALC1200
thats all I could manage to think about if any other info is needed tell me how to provide it
Thanks a lot

Audio problem on iMac running Mavericks using FW

I have a brand new iMac running Mavericks. I have a 3Tb hybrid drive which I wonder whether this has something to do with my problem.
I am trying to use my Yamaha Motif XS rack with firewire to route audio. I bought a Thunderbolt to FW connector and a 800 to 400 lead.
I run iTunes and everything works fine for about 60 seconds and then the audio hiccups and stops. If I switch back to built in audio and then back to FW then I’m fine for another 60/70 seconds.
Can anyone advise?
thanks :-)

You should be able to download and install the updates from here:
Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Macintosh
In older versions of photoshop elements, the updater never worked, even when the applications were brand new.
I think the problem is that the Adobe Application Manager needs to be updated to a newer version, but since there will be no more updates for pse 9, it may just be better to install the two updates
from the link above and leave well enough alone.
Anyway here's a link to the newest Adobe Application Manager

IDVD 4 Audio problems

My audio works just fine in both iMovie, and iDVD. When I play the DVD I burned the audio works just fine for the menus, and slideshows. After playing a movie for about 00:01:30 the audio cuts off for the rest of the movie. Any ideas?
2.5 Ghz PowerPc G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Using iLife 04

There can be some goofy audio problems. One recommendation is to Extract the Audio from your problem clip while in iMovie and see if this makes a difference in the DVD. [this creates a separate sound file, which sometimes fixes audio problems]
The point where the audio stops -- is it the beginning of a clip? near a transition? or?
