Help! Vista Audio Settings issue (I think)

Ok, I admit it. I'm in way over my head. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Last Spring I bought a new Sony Vaio laptop (with bluray drive and HDMI out), Sony XBR LCD, and Yamaha receiver (1 HDMI out - 2 HDMI in) from a local Best Buy. I brought everything home, hooked them up and things worked perfectly. I had the laptop playing Bluray movies and MP3's through the HDMI cable to the receiver. I migrated to the east coast for the summer and when I returned home, I can see my computer screen on the TV and watch movies...but there is no sound (no DVD sounds, no iTunes, no Vista bleeps and bloops) coming from the receiver (they do work correctly if I use the laptop speakers).
I have the laptop connected via HDMI to the "DVD" spot on the back. I also have the satellite box connected (via HDMI) to the receiver in the "TV" spot. When I select "TV" on the receiver I get audio and video from the satellite service. When I swap the cables nothing changes. I've tried hooking the laptop to the "TV" connection on the receiver but continue to have the same issue.
I suspect there is a setting wrong on the laptop (if the receiver is able to process the video from the laptop, wouldn't it process the audio from the same source?). I'm a Vista novice and haven't been able to sort this out.
I have gone to the Control Panel -> Hardware & Sound -> Manage Audio Devices. The "Digital Output Device (HDMI)" is set as the default and says "working properly".
Where else should I be looking when trying to figure out why I have video playing but not audio? Again, many thanks for any help!

I'm not certain; when I search "Lenovo Settings", it comes up with Settings, which does have the grey gear icon. I would assume it's the same.Here's the options shown for me in this: http://puu.sh/jjMpz/cf1ea17be5.png

Audio Settings Issues

Hey there,
Recently, I've updated my skype to latest version i.e. 6.21 and unfortunatley there are some audio problem. When I try to test my Speakers in "Audio Settings" by clicking play button, it take almost 10 seconds to play the sound. And the same issue is with Microphone, in audion settings, when I speak in mic, it take almost 7-10 seconds to respond. Also this version of skype is pretty slow as compared to older version. Here, I wanna mension that, there's no issue with my computer or the internet, both working just fine. Second thing I wanna ask, why there's no option to clear chat and call histroy.
Thanks

Please help, that audio issues are irritating me.

Help with Audio Settings

I'm a neophyte when it comes to audio recording. My projects
are software demos with a few PowerPoint slides for introduction
and wrap-up. After I record the PowerPoint show and the on-screen
demo action, I use a headset/microphone to record narration for
each C3 slide in the project.
Is there a good description/discussion somewhere of the
various settings in the Captivate "Audio settings" dialog box?
In particular, what do "Encoding Bitrate", "Encoding
Frequency", and "Encoding Speed" mean? And what effect does
changing each of them have on the sound quality and file size (both
when I'm recording the audio and when I publish the movie)? What
settings would be best for "voice-over" narration? (I do not use
background music.)
The C3 online help for this dialog box isn't much help at
all. For example, here's all that it says about "Encoding
Frequency" and "Encoding Speed":
= = = = = = = = = =
Encoding Frequency
Select the frequency at which audio encoding must be
performed.
Encoding Speed
Drag the slider bar to set the required audio encoding speed.
Increasing the encoding speed reduces the quality of the encoded
files.
= = = = = = = = = =
That's a bit like saying "In your car, the brake pedal is
used to apply the brakes" without saying that you apply the brakes
to stop the car.
I'd appreciate any and all insight you can share on this
subject, and/or references to things I should read to learn about
these.
Thanks,
Bill

i hate to rain on everyone's parade here but this problem lies elsewhere and not with the photo-jpeg video.
i was given several drives chock full of offline rt video and it plays fine out to my monitor. video was captured at offline rt preset resolution (320x240 photojpeg, square par), sequences are offline rt, control is apple dvcpro firewire to a jvc br-dv600ua vtr.
granted, the video looks less than desireable but it's useful none-the-less. i forgot to mention that this in a fcp 4.5 project on my panther boot drive.
perhaps the original poster will give some more info to help nail down the problem. or maybe my quicksilver system doesn't know it isn't supposed to display offline rt video.

Help requested.. silly issue I think?

Merry Christmas!
I hope someone here can help with an issue I am having with a new iPod Nano 4th gen. I plugged in this 4th gen to my son's itunes (he had a 3rd gen Nano) earlier this morning. I saw itunes recognoze the ipod and it started bringing up the introduction/registration page in the itunes window. However, I didnt let that page fully load and instead went to "Store" menu and hit "View My Account" to make sure that I was on the right itunes account as I manage 3 itunes account from this computer.
Now I cant seem to get itunes to rereognize the new ipod. I cant get back to that initial registration page to synch it to the account. How do I get itunes to even notice I have that ipod plugged in? I have gone to "Manage" in "Computer" and stopped and restarted itunes. I cant seem to get into "disk" mode, but I dont know if that is even needed.
Thanks for any advice!

All answers are in the code. Lets see yours.

Audio Settings Issue [Y510p]

I don't know if Windows 10 is the issue, as I was having difficulties before upgrading, but I won't rule it out completely. The mic on my headset doesn't want to work properly unless I follow a specific set of directions. I have to open the Sound settings from Control Panel, and also the Realtek HD Audio Manager. From there, I go to the Device Advanced Settings in the microphone tab, and change the option to "Separate all input jacks as independent input devices", at which point it defaults to the internal mic in the laptop. Then I change it back to the original option of "Tie up same types of input jacks, i.e. line-in or microphone, as an input device", then save and close. It then works correctly, but only if I keep the Sound settings window open. If I close this, then it pretty much stops picking up my voice and I have to yell to be heard and start the process all over again. The levels are fine, microphone array is at 100 and it has +10 dB boost, as its always had. It picks up audio if I yell into it or tap the microphone, but not my normal speaking voice. All the settings seem to be the same between working and non-working mic, so I'm not sure what caused it. Prior to upgradinng to Windows 10, I would experience an issue with the mic not working at all late at night. Once it stopped working in the span of 2 minutes inbetween Skype calls, another time it was during a call. I don't exactly recall what I did to fix it, but I remember it involved the Sound settings and the Realtek HD Audio Manager, likely messing with the default mics and switching the input selections. I've opened up Device Manager and it says nothing needs to be updated at this time. Any assistance or suggestions would be appreciated!

I'm not certain; when I search "Lenovo Settings", it comes up with Settings, which does have the grey gear icon. I would assume it's the same.Here's the options shown for me in this: http://puu.sh/jjMpz/cf1ea17be5.png

The photo's in your camera roll would be in a backup, if you have one (iCloud or iTunes). If you did not keep a backup somewhere, they are gone. Sorry, but that is the way of any data - if you don't have a backup of it somewhere, there is nothing to restore it from.
All other photo's should be on your computer somewhere anyway - whereever you had them to sync to the device originally.

Help please... Audio sync issues going from iMovie to iDVD (iLife '09 packa

I've tried technical support, I've tried looking online but nothing seems to have helped, so here's the problem:
I have a video/movie, that is around 58 minutes long, I share it to iDVD and the other media formats from iMovie. The vid has music, transitions, titles, credits, etc... It plays fine in iMovie while I am editing it. The problem comes when I try to export it to another media format and to iDVD.
There's a section that has major audio sync issues that I have no idea how to even begin to fix. There is audio and music from the 55 minute mark that plays over the 27 minute mark for a good 3 minutes of video and audio.
I've tried some of the suggestions I've come across but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have anything that they can offer this very frustrated guy? Please and thank you in advance.

I don't shoot 12 bit audio (ever) so I'm not an expert on fixing it or converting it back to 16 bit audio. I can only report what others on this forum claim to have worked (in some cases with marginal success).
The ones that comes to mind are:
1. video and audio extraction in an attempt to re sync.
2. exporting back to the camera from iMovie and then re-importing as 16 bit.

Audio Settings are ignored on export to SWF in Captivate 4. Advice?

Background: Project is a 1-hour, spoken-word PowerPoint slide presentation, about 60 slides, about 1 min each. Audio has been split into one CD-quality, mono .wav file for import to each slide. All clips are excerpts from the same, full-length .wav file. Nothing fancy, no captions, animations, etc. Just one dog and one pony in this show. Using fully updated version of Captivate 4.
Problem: Upon export to SWF, any changes I make to the audio quality settings do not take. That is, I still get a huge SWF file with full CD quality sound. SWF file size is ~47MB. Should be closer to ~25MB or even less at my target quality of 11kHz, 24kbps.
What I've tried: I have adjusted both the Audio Settings for the project, as well as the SWF Size and Quality settings (in the Preferences dialog box, Project category) by alternately selecting "Low" or unchecking the "Retain slide quality settings" box, then synchronizing the settings with the settings in the Audio Settings. I have also tried selecting and unselecting all SWF compression options.
I have tested this on two computers, one XP Pro, the other Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Both Captivate installations are fully updated. Same results on both.
Things that make me go "Hmm": I can create a Captivate project with one slide as a test and achieve full flexibility of audio kHz and kbps upon export to SWF; that is, it works just like I want. However, as soon as I add a second slide, my export quality reverts to full CD-quality. I've even tried this with an extremely simple project with no PowerPoint slide, no skin, just blank white slides. So, I do not think it is an issue connected to some other aspect of the project in question.
So... Is this a bug? The odd thing is that this process has worked in the past. It seems that it has suddenly become a problem. If it were on only one computer, I would reinstall, but given the same outcome on two very different computers, it seems very unlikely that the same quirk has materialized in both.
Advice? Thanks. -Steve

Hi Steve,
This is a long shot, but you could try copying and pasting all of your slides into a new instance of Captivate. If you have specified certain audio settings Captivate should pick these up when you export. If not then it is possible that your CP file has become corrupted.
If that doesn't work, please file a bug report using the web address I have included below.
Adobe Captivate Feature Request/Bug Report Form
It would be interesting to see if the CP team can shed any light on why this is happening.

Capturing off mini DV audio lag issue

So I am still transferring these PAL mini DV tapes into my computer through FCP's log and transfer.
The audio is like 10 seconds behind the video track, is there a settings issue here?
I am using a Sony HVR-HD 1000U camera as my "deck" and going mini dv (firewire) out of the camera into firewire into my mac.
I have a DV deck that will play PAL tapes, but I think the dv output is messed up since I get a really pixelated and bad quality coming out of it.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

The setting of the camera is irrelevant.
Yes for the project running - BUT for new projects it will help.
Yes drop out's also can induce sync problems
Making a copy to a new miniDV tape that is pre-recorded with an intact timecode
most often helps - drop out's will not mend but be either black frames or audio drop outs - BUT still in sync.
alt. To use the analog out from Camera and an A/D-box as Canopus/Grass Valley ADVC-300
with timebase correction. Gives me an usable result and IN SYNC.

Audio recording issues

Hi,
For language teaching purposes, we've developed a flash media
server based app which allows users to record audio. It works well,
but at times (actually often) there is a drop in the audio
recording which can last several seconds. We think it could be a
network issue, as it appears to be more salient in some areas or
campus than others, but we're still within the university network
itself so I'm thinking there might be a setting to change or
something we might not be doing well.
thanks in advance for any help!!
Emmanuel

Sounds like you're listening to the same source (the X6) being played twice.
Could be you are hearing MIDI thru playback as well as Logic's "Software Monitoring" you must also be enabling a MIDI track for recording. If you unhook the MIDI connection from the X6 does the hollow sound go away.
What Audio interface are you using? The other possibility is your Audio Interface has "Direct Monitoring" this allows you to monitor the audio inputs before it goes into the computer. Having Logic's Software Monitoring enable along with Direct Monitoring would also produce the hollow sound.
I suggest the thorough reading of the manual so you understand what all the preferences do. Most of the time it is better to read and understand/experiment on your own. It's one thing to be shown something another to figure it out for yourself.
Here's a Link to all of the Preferences/Audio settings.

Vid card issues I think??

Good day, I'm having some major issues with my card "I think"
When playing MOH Pacific Assault, Battlefield Vietnam, and Doom3 my sys locks up and/or I get major video corruption. I have tried updating all of the drivers forward and backward and no luck . One error that I get says that the Vid card got stuck in a loop. I have gone to the Nvida and EA site and no help. The only thing that I found was that their is a known issue with MOB running with Nforce 3 chips and to uninstall the GART driver "No idea how???" Here is the post on that, some of it doesn't apply (ATI, Punk Buster,
"This combination of hardware has been reported to freeze gameplay, and is due to a combination of these hardware elements. Resolving this issue has become a stalemate between ATI, Nvidia and Evenbalance. Here is some information which may help you address this issue:
Problem does not occur on non-Punkbuster servers.
This problem seems specific to WinXP.
Removal of the Nvidia GART Driver clears this problem up.
Reverting to ATI's 3.9 seems to clear this up for some.
Reducing the AGP aperture size reduces the amount of delay.
Decreasing the PB scan frequency with pb_sleep decreases the frequency of the freezes.
Changing from an ATI to Nvidia card seems to have eliminated problems for many users."
Any idaes???? Thanks..

Hi,
I wouldn't remove the GART driver. I have a NF3/6800 Ultra OC setup and I disabled fastwrites in my system bios to resolve loops and freezes. The combo works wonders now!
Good Luck,
You want to try the easiest solutions first and turning off fast writes would be a good place to start as suggested. If it is not implemented properly it can cause instability.
There are also a few other settings that should be in there you can try messing with such as AGP Aperture, 4X or 8X...etc.
I also would use 3DMark 2001 as a stability test. It pretty much runs with every video card and drivers out there. Using a game might not be a good idea because a lot of games have problems with certain drivers or certain cards. At least if it passed 3DMark you would have some idea its not the drivers, card or even gart.
If it doesn't pass 3DMark then I would start looking at your motherboard drivers (GART). The chance of 3DMark not working with any version of Nvidia drivers is very slim unless they are corrupted.
To uninstall the GART you would go into device manager and right click it and uninstall. Windows will restart and try to install drivers on it's own. You can cancel it by clicking on the icon in the system tray if your quick enough. (WinXP)
Another way to do it, is just updating the drivers by again going into device manager, right clicking and this time picking update drivers.
You should have the drivers you want to use on the computer somewhere like maybe the desktop.
Another thing you can try is reinstaling DirectX, that is one of those easy things that doesn't hurt anything to try. Also make sure your video card is not overheating in the case. Open the case and have a house fan blowing on it while you try 3DMark or playing a game.
One last thing when you look in device manager the GART might not be listed as GART, at least on my NF7-S it is not listed that way. The GART would be anything related to AGP under "System Devices"

Audio playback issue

hello all,
I'm fairly new to Premiere Pro, (20+ years in Avid & 10 in FCP)
and I'm having huge issues with audio suddenly missing from the timeline ie no level or waveform, but sometimes I can see the waveform but not hear anything.
I'm on a 2010 iMac, latest OS, latest CC version, 12 gigs RAM.
I've wasted more than 2 days, can't see any pattern, original is H264, I've tried everything from claening caches to recoding to various formats such as mpeg and Avid MXF, all have exactly the same issues.
I can reveal in finder and all plays well.
I feel I am chasing a major bug that according to forums seems to have been around for at least 1 year.
thanks, any feedback greatly appreciated,
Rob

AUDIO ISSUE RESOLVED !!!!!!! (for my particular situation)
this will take a little to explain so here goes....
I've had enormous problems this past week.
to recap,
I had audio simply not appearing in my timelines, randomly.
Because of my newness to Premiere I had to be sure it wasn't my error, I checked and triple checked before asking for help.
Over the past 5 days I've spent a few hours on the phone with a very helpful Adobe operator,
With advice from Adobe I uninstalled, downloaded, installed, moved Quicktime components, etc including deleting Soundflower which we understood does not play nicely with Premiere.
The audio in my particular case was not so much as being completely missing, rather the audio was registering as 'nan' level.
For those of you with audio issues, this is what I was experiencing:
in the bin, hilight the source file and right click, go audio gain, and "set gain to" defaulted to "nan" db
So I set it to 1db and the audio appears, however I could drop this into the timeline and sometime later it defaulted to "nan db"
So I was chasing my tail, looking for answers.
So after 6 sessions with Adobe, today I uninstalled 7.0.1, downloaded Premiere Pro CC (which is in fact 7.0) and did not let it do the update when prompted.
And FINALLY IT WORKS
I'm back to where I was 7 days ago.
Huge lesson learnt, wait awhile before jumping in with the latest updates. (I learnt this with 16 years of Avid - although Avid were always a few months behind the Mac OS so this delay lag was often a positive)
Word of warning, in my case the audio settings seemed to be "remembered" with the project save, so I've gone back to saved projects pre the 7.0.1 update and have not had any problem.
WHEW
I hope this makes sense and Adobe fast track this (dare I say) bug.
thanks,
Rob
This issue started the moment I updated to 7.0.1
