Froyo sounds like a broken record

After today's automatic Froyo upgrade, all music players skip like a broken record or a bad stream.  I tried multiple audio players and audio files, all with the same result.

I have the same problem. I can fix it by rebooting the phone....but i don't like having to do that every time i want to listen to music. I guess Linux has finally come close to being Windows. v2.2 must have big changes in the audio subsystem....reminds me of the early PulseAudio issues on Ubuntu. Sucks to be a Droid'er these days.

  • Audiobooks stop playing and start repeating a sound (like a broken record). Music plays as it should. Any suggestions?

    Audiobooks (from Audible) play until the later chapters in the books. Then, it stops playing, and sounds like a broken record stuck on one sound. I've tried re-syncing. I've restored factory settings and I've deleted the book from the library and reloaded it into iTunes. Any suggestions? It's happened with more than one book.

    I have the same issue and went to the genius bar. They tried something in iTunes but it didn't work. So they proposed me to leave them my computer for a few days so that they can figure out what this is. Unfortunately I cannot do that right now.
    I am really interested in a solution

  • Sounds like a broken record

    My computer won't recognize my shuffle either. My USB port recognizes everything else, but not the shuffle. When I first connected my shuffle, I was able to download a few songs, and then when I tried to do it again, the shuffle disappeared. I tried everything on the support page, but nothing worked. I even tried the solution that worked for someone, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. Hope someone comes up with something soon!

  • Sounds like a scrached record when music is playing

    music is playing but while surfing the net it sounds like a scratched record

    It does, under certain circumstances. If you are playing music and lock the phone or it locks on its own, when you wake it up, the album art will show. It also shows as the background if you are in the music app. If this is not exactly what you are looking for, you can submit feedback to Apple about this feature at www.apple.com/feedback.

  • Making Recording in Studio sound like it was recorded live in a hall

    Hi all,
    I have a problem. My recordings sound too good!! What I mean is that there is not the feeling of it being in a hall, because what I call the "sound of the dead air" is missing. There is not the feeling of space in the silent bits of the recording. Any ideas or is there a plug-in for this?
    Thanks,
    Graham

    Some ideas:-
    You could mix in some noise, you could record some room tone and mix that in, you could use a small amount of room reverb or ambience on your mix or individual tracks, you could even send the mix out into a real room and mic up the speakers (set up the mics at the back of the room, you want the ambient signal, not the dry signal) and mix some of that back into your mix to taste (this can be a great way to gel a fake drum track together a bit more).
    Or just record more real, acoustic instruments in general to avoid that stagnant, 100% digital in-the-box sterile vibe.

  • My mac is making a very loud sound, it sounds like a broken fan! What does it mean?

    What does this sound mean? Do I need a new part or what?

    late 08 MBP are infamously noisy.
    we need more information to help you.
    my other guess is it's dirty.
    but it could be more serious like your hard drive, not a fan. 

  • Audio sounds like broken record

    When I open the project, some audio clips will be fine for the beginning, but at some point will have one second repeated over and over again for the remainder of the clip. When played back, it sounds like a broken record. The actual files are fine, when I check the clips on my hard drive they're normal. But when I open the project, they are corrupted. And it happens to different clips each time I open the project. Even when I import the same file again, it will be corrupted in the same spot. Any ideas?

    Try updating your audio driver.

  • 46G310U Audio skipping like broken record

    I have a new 46 inch LCD and in the last couple of weeks by audio and video freezes up at random and the tv will shut down.  The audio sounds like a broken record and then it starts making loud beeping noises for a few moments and then shuts itself down.  Most of the time it will restart and in a few moments the picture and audio will come back to normal but twice now the screen goes black and the tv stays on.  I cannot cut it off with the remote or at the unit itself..........I have to unplug the tv to get it to restart.
    Anybody experienced anything like this?

    I had a similar problem last night.  Was watching a Time Warner DVR when picture began to stutter and freeze. Eventually a solid green screen came up.  Was able to channel up on the DVR remote and the TV went back to normal... went back to the prerecorded dvr program again and started watching...  the picture began to intermittently freeze and eventually a freeze frame came up... tv remote did not seem to respond. could not change inputs... when I turned off the dvr/cable box the frozen picture would get dimmer but not go away... Eventually I was able to shut down the tv with the remote.  when I turned it back on everything was OK... Originally thought it might be a dvr problem... never had this problem with my old sony...  had the 46g310u about two weeks... are these sets prone to lock ups when receiving bad video? problem was on HDMI input 2...

  • My Audigy2 sounds like an old rec

    I'm having some real problem..
    My soundcard sounds like an old record all the time..
    Can anyone please help me, before i rip out the card and throws it thru my window.. )

    Well..
    I have moved the card to another pci-slot, only to make it even worse.
    (Now its scraping like 5 old records instead of )
    I have also re-installed the card with the original softwaredrivers, and a new
    updated ones without success..
    Also switched the speaker cables to the output back of the computer, so it's not
    the front output, that is the problem, it seems like it's the whole card?

  • How do I remove the "empty hall" sound of a voice recording?

    I have a recording of an interview done in a guys 10x10 "empty" office. It sounded like he's recording in his bathroom. Does anyone know how to clean up this audio so it sounds a little more like it was done in a sound booth?
    What I have is a mixed version that has a little music under his voice. He mixed it over his voice trying to hide the "I recorded my webcast from my bathroom" sound...
    I'm not sure how to post it here, but I could email anyone some of the audio if you'd like to play with it.
    Thanks for your help!

    > So reducing any resonant frequency will have to alter the sound of the original stimulus - it's completely unavoidable.
    Correct. EQ will affect whatever is in the recording. That means it affects the original stimulus plus resonant effects of the room. The fact that EQ affects the original stimulus in the recording is a drawback; but it does not mean the technique never will work.
    > And by and large it has been found that altering the EQ like this makes things worse, not better.
    This depends on the recording: the nature of the resonance, the decay time, etc. If resonance in the recording described in message #1 is the most distracting problem, then reducing resonance through EQ may yield an improvement.
    You repeatedly emphasize that EQ will affect the original stimulus. Clearly you are very focused on this aspect of using EQ. Yes. It will affect the original stimulus. We already comprehend this. No one suggested otherwise. Got it. Agreed. :).
    Moving on: the fact that EQ affects the original stimulus in the recording is a drawback to using EQ. Yet that may still be preferable to leaving the resonance in the recording. As you state, EQ will alter the desired sound (original speaker's voice) along with the sound one attempts to attenuate. So it is safe to conclude that the outcome will not be perfect.
    Nevertheless, given an imperfect world in which a recording that was made has the unfortunate quality of sounding like it was made in a bathroom (as the original poster described it), using EQ to reduce resonant frequencies may indeed yield an improvement.
    > you clearly haven't the faintest idea of what you are talking about, and obviously haven't tried this.
    More overstatements. I suggest a modicum of nuance.
    Back to the FAQ you cited: it does contain a reasonable suggestion regarding EQ. ozpeter recommended trying a parametric EQ. This is a reasonable thing to try because it may yield an improvement. Mind you, not a guaranteed improvement, but nevertheless it is worth a try.

  • Logic Pro wanting to sound like 1958

    I am recording a Rock Steady/Ska band that I play in. These will just be live 1 take recordings in our rehearsal space. I am treating the room with duvets very heavily and I will play around with the many mikes we have going through my Apogee Ensemble.
    The Question. Any suggestions on how to get it to sound like it was recorded sometime in the late 50's or early 60's. The band does a great job already with their gear and exceptional playing but I was just wondering if there was a good mix of plugs I could use.
    Thanks
    -Allan

    I've had a good success with recording a Rockabilly band wanting to make it sound authentic, but using just one mic (AKG C12VR) set to OMNI in front of the lead singer, with the band and amplifiers positioned around the studio behind him. And nothing else. Just light eq, compression, plate reverb and slap delay.
    Surprisingly enough it gives exactly the right kind of sound, the double bass sounded distant and slappy, the drums sounded thin and roomy, the vocals sounded hugely above the mix. It all sounded like it was band playing in a room together in mono with loads of echo. Just the way they like it! Compared to the cd's they brought in to reference to, old 50's rock n roll and rockabilly it sounded just right! Of course you need more confidence in what you're doing to take this route. You need to know from the get go, that it's the right way to go. But when you see the band smile from ear to ear and say "FINALLY THE SOUND!" you know it's the right move and putting up more mics would be a mistake.
    If it's your band then you have enough room to experiment to try something like this and it not matter too much if it doesn't come out right the first time around.
    Personally if I wanted to make something that sounded like authentic ska, I'd look for a good condition 4-8 channel tape machine and use that, throw up 6 mics, ribbons where possible (as mentioned before), mix it quite roughly, the bounce it back and forth a bit, while doing some over dubs and it'll become nicely saturated and compressed. It'll cost about £300 for a decent tape machine and a load of tape, not much compared to your Ensemble!!!

    Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
    Do a backup,  preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

  • How can I turn a recorded voice into multiple voices that sound like a group of singers?

    I'm using Logic Pro 9. Could someone teach me how to turn a single recorded voice into multiple voices that sound like a group singing together
    by mixing or other techniques ? I don't have the luxury of a group singing together with me when I do recording. Advices would be much appreciated!

    By far the most natural way to achieve this is for the singer to perform multiple takes - even if you've only one singer. At it's simplest, you could just double track the vocal part, although I prefer 3 parts - panned centre, left & right. Then repeat this process for each harmony, & mix accordingly.
    Melodyne & some of the above methods do work on am single voice, but phase cancellation can be an issue if your not careful with each part's timing & panning. If you can only get a couple of decent takes from the singer, far better to perform any harmony/pitching techniques on the second take to avoid any phase issues. It's not uncommon for a singer to perform each vocal part 5-10 times, then comp (edit) the best takes so that you end up with 3 decent takes.
    If you've only only one voice to work with Antares Harmony EFX is a useful alternative.

  • My recorded signal is not sounding like the signal I am monitoring.

    My recorded guitar is not sounding like the signal I am monitoring. It sounds very good when recording, but lacks energy and detail when it is played back. If I am using input/direct monitoring am I also bypassing the Analog to Digital converters? Could this explain the difference in sound quality?
    Would it be the same to monitor a signal directly out of the sound card and to monitor "through" Logic?
    My sound card is a Presouns Firepod.

    No.

    Consult the manual of that device, to see if you can learn from where in the signal chain it gets your direct monitoring from --- PRE conversion or POST conversion... My bet is that it is pre conversion.

  • I  want to record a keybord connected by usb in an IMac and only           sound like an ambient microphone. What is wrong?

      I want to record a keyboard connected by usb port and only sound like an ambient microphone. What configuration is wrong? Thank you

    The optimum choice is to format it ExFAT, but do so on the PC, not the Mac. Alternatively, you can make two partitions - one for the Mac; one for the PC. Partition the drive using GUID when you make the two partitions. Format one using Mac OS Extended, Journaled. Format the other on your PC using NTFS if you won't need to write to it from the OS X side or use ExFAT if you do.
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) you will use for Windows from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to MSDOS.
    6. Click on the Erase button.
    When you connect the drive to your PC reformat the PC volume to either NTFS or ExFAT.
