Hi, My mp3s and ripped CDs sound like some weird, ring modulated alien metallic 'thing'

Hi, My mp3s and ripped CDs sound like some weird, ring modulated alien metallic 'thing' since installing 10.5, purchases sound fine, and the original files are not corrupted, but CDs are burned with the same distortion, please help! Thank you.

Okay it seems i'm not alone, just the read the previous ongoing thread about this and will be rolling back to 10.4 to cure it. .

  • When i put my bounced track to CDJ 900, the sound quality drops, Hi and Mid Pass sound like they "Shrink In", doesn't sound the same when playback in logic. I set my bouncing setup as highest.

    Hi Eriksimon,
    Firstly, thanks for your message.
    What I meant by "hi pass mid pass shrinking in" is EXACTLY what you menat, I got a heavy bass and muffed high and mid content. Apologised for my poor English.
    I haven't checked the setting of the playback device yet but instead I tested it with some professional produced tracks. I know the sound tends to vary a little bit when playing from computer and CD player such as the CDJ 900 that I am using. The differences were not as significant as my own track. They tend to get a rather good balance. My track is well balanced and mixed (I guess) in Logic but it turns out completely different when using the CD player.
    I bounced my work to MP3 with highest BIte Rate.

  • When I play my Ipod shuffle 3rd gen there's a moment when I start hearing interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.

    My Ipod shuffle 3rd gen starts playing songs with some kind of interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.  First I thought it was the earphones, but I exchanged them for newer ones and so far its the same

    You may want to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If it's a software or data corruption glitch, the Restore should fix it.  After the Restore, reload or resync your songs, and try it again.  As a test, you may want to initially select a small number of songs to put back on the shuffle.

  • ITunes problem recognizing and ripping CDs - Windows XP

    I have two problems, probably related. The first is, iTunes only intermittently recognizes a CD when I insert one, sometimes requiring me to eject and reinsert several times. Sometimes it will suddenly notice the CD when I toggle back to iTunes from another program.
    Once I've got the CD visible, I click Import. All goes well if I keep iTunes on top (making me hostage to the import process), or if I toggle away to another program and stay away. But if I return to iTunes in the middle of the rip -- poof! -- the import stops and the CD vanishes as if ejected.
    This is iTunes 8 in Windows XP. Anyone know if there's a way to stop this?
    Thanks.

    sorry about the delay, Nano Second.
    it would be good to get a look at the blue screen information ... but i'm totally in sympathy with the idea of minimising the number of times your PC blue screens.
    so let's also set up the PC to generate a minidump for the blue screen. (that way, if we don't get helpful info from the blue screen itself, we can send a copy of the minidump for the crash through to the Apple Engineers for a look. so we only have to "experimentally" blue screen the PC once more before we try fixing the problem.)
    To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
    Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
    in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)

  • Fan was making a whirring sound and now it sounds like the fan isn't turning at all? Please help!

    I've had this whirring noise on the fan for a couple of weeks, I've vacumed it as best I can without opening my imac up but the noise didnt stop (like a whirring clicking noise with the fan, like it was stuck on something). I've booked it in to be looked at in the Apple store on Monday (soonest appointment avaliable), but I've just switched it on and the fan clicked a couple of times and then went quiet? Am I safe to use my mac? WIll it overheat? I'm scared to use it because the fan doesnt sound like its running at all now ? I've got 5 photo sessions and a wedding to edit and I may cry! Any help or suggestions would be AMAZING! Thanks in advance!
    Ps these are my mac details
    iMac
    21.5-inch, Mid 2011

    Memory  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Pps I'm a bit rubbish with tecnical things so sorry if this is something obvious!

    Do 2-3 SMC resets and see if this takes care of the problem. If it does not then book an appointment with your local Apple Store to have it looked at by a Genius.
    Instructions for the SMC reset are in https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603

  • I spilled tea on my macbook pro last night and this morning i opened it and the fan began going loudly. It sounds like static. Is this a new thing to save itself?

    I spilled my tea last night and a little got on my keyboard, by where the power cord plugs in. We immediately turned it upside down and of course dried off as much as possible. This morning, I tried turning it on and nothing happened. I waited a few minutes and tried again. The fan turned on, but nothing else. It sounds like static or white noise, but when you get closer you can feel the wind blowing from the fan. Is this a new self-saving thing? I just got it this year, 2014.

    Turn it off now, it's damaged and the more you turn the power on the worse that can get.
    Take it Apple, do not turn it on again.

  • Everytime my phone vibrates it makes this loud noise from inside that sounds like a weird cracking noise or something help!!

    Okay so I noticed a week or two ago that there was something lose on the inside of my iPhone 5s and ever since then when my phone vibrates sometimes there is this weird noise. It sounds almost like a cracking noise from the inside or a weird electrical noise. I think something is wrong with the vibrating part. Does anyone know if this is fixable or what it is?

    Hello ashliz17,

  • I instaledd Firefox 12.0 and a annoying sound of a telephone ringing won't stop!!

    I have a MacBook Pro and today it updated Firefox to the most recente version. After installation it started to make a sound like a old telephone ringing, it does that every 10 seconds, what is it and how does it stop???

    Start Firefox in -> [[Safe Mode]] to check if your add-ons/extension are causing the problem.
    * Also see this article -> [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    Check and tell if its working.
    May not be related to your problem but some of your Firefox Plugins are out-dated, so you need to Update them.

    Hi,  I've installed Linux Mint on my Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq dc7600 Convertible Minitower and now when i watch n online movie (Youtube) ordo anything else like installing software using synaptic, the system fan go really bersek! The BIOS is set to a low fan speed and in normal conditions you don't here the fan. A hint i got on the Linux Mint forum was to update the BIOS since it's a very old BIOS. My question is, can i update the BIOS and were to find the latest BIOS ROM?
    Or does anyone else has a solutiuon to stop the fans go berserk?

    Nomko, welcome to the forum.
    There are no drivers or BIOS updates for Linux.  Therefore, you will not be able to update the BIOS.  Please don't try to do so using any retail BIOS updates.  None of the retail updates will work with HP motherboards.  HP has them made to their specs.
    When I use Linux, I use the forums for the Distro I am using like you did.  They are the experts.

  • I got the new late 2012 iMac 21.5 inch in February and just realised there are some weird wave lines behind the glass where the camera is. i can't seem to wipe it off because its on the inside and it is ruining the light control of the camera.

    Should i return it to apple and has anyone ever had this before? do i have to backup everything on my computer?

    Is it blurry? As mentoned how light is your room? Light begind you will make your face dark to people viewing. As to backing up yes an external hardrive, timemachine backs up your mac, there are other ways but they all require extenal storage, since time machione is built in use it, if anything happens to your mac without it you loose everything. Always have backups.

  • Own an X-FI Elite Pro - Getting what sounds like a CD skipping and some distortion

    Interesting I have had this card for some time now...and I never experienced any kind of distortion...popping...click noises...or anything that the majority of people here have been complaining about. I though I was one of the lucky few...that has all changed.
    I started playing some BF2 the other day...and of course have the in game audio settings set to ULTRA to and X-FI to make use of my XFI 64 megs of RAM...anyways, this is the same setting I have had in BF2 since I've owned the game and have had my XFI - Elite Pro.
    Anways, there I am playing my game when all of a sudden from time to time I hear what sounds like an audio CD skipping! I thought at first it was just me or the game...but no...it seems to happen more often than it use to! Like its getting wores! It cleary sounds like an Audio CD skipping!
    another thing I started to notice is when playing MP3s and such.... I can hear distortion in the background! Its a bit hard to explain but what it sounds like the distortion isn't in the actual audio mix...almost like background distortion!
    to test I would play the same audio track on my home theatre system and to my dismay... I heard no distortion...so that would label my XFI Elite Pro as the problem.
    a couple of things to note:
    st.. I have 2 fans hooked up on the same rail on my PSU that connects to the XFI Elite Pro. The fans have fan controlers as well... I haven't tried this...but its possible that since the fans are hooked up to the same wire as my XFI is...its possible I may be getting some electrical interference with them.
    2nd... I just updated to the latest BETA drivers released by Creative. This is where I first started to notice the problem.
    I have yet to dry difference drivers or remove the fans...however, I do believe I am finally experiencing what many other have been since there purchase.
    I paid a **bleep** pretty penny for my Elite Pro and deffinitly EXPECT it run PERFECT!
    deffinitly unhappy thus far.
    I do have an Nforce based chipset. As well as an ASUS A8N32-SLI with the most recent BIOS update.
    Like I said before, I am just now getting this sounds...its possible it could be the BETA drivers, I will keep you all posted.
    For the mean time, anyone have any insight or opinions for me?
    thanks in advnace!

    no ideas huh?
    is this the same stuff everyone else is experiencing?

  • Every time I play a video on youtube it sounds like another version of that video is playing five seconds later, (and keeps doing so over and over) any idea how to fix this?

    When I load a video on youtube, it plays, and then it sounds like another version of that video plays 5 seconds later, and after 5 seconds more, another version etc- etc.

    iTunes saves out a new copy of the entire library file every time a change is made to the library. This is not new behavior.
    The slowdowns I have seen like this have ususally been caused by:
    A virus
    or
    Some anti-virus software is incorrectly interpreting the rewriting of the file and is causing a problem.
    Either way, you should definitely update your anti-virus software and definitions to the latest, and run a full scan of your system. If that does not help, you may want to recreate your iTunes library.
