High pitched crackling and scraping sound when playing videos

I just got a video iPod, loaded a couple of TV shows that I bought through iTunes, and tried to play them. I get a loud, high pitched electronic crackling and scraping sound during playback. The music I louded plays perfectly, so what is the problem here?

Thanks. I'm planning to go there this morning. I just bought it yesterday, so they need to take care of it. I did try reloading the videos, but with the same result.

Crackling and popping sound when playing music and watching youtube videos

there is a crackling and popping sound when i watch videos on youtube or play music/videos using vlc media player and windows media player. recently it has gotten to a point where it happens when windows is starting up or even when the laptop is required to play a sound for example when i plug in a removeable hardware such as thumbdrives

Hi @donnabail ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP 2000 Notebook and getting a buzzing or popping sound while playing music and watching Youtube videos. Try performing a hard reset.
When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook that might have caused this.
You can try this
1. Right click the Speaker icon in the bottom right corner.
2. Click Playback Devices.
3. Click Speakers.
4. Click properties.
5. Click the advanced tab on the Properties window.
6. Change the Default Format drop-down to the highest quality.
7. Apply the properties.
8. Click OK to close the properties window.
What happens if you right click on the video while playing a video and take the check out of hardware acceleration. Shut the browser down and restart the notebook.
Have you checked for an update on the Active X.
Please let me know how this goes.
Thanks.

Why do I get a black screen and no sound when playing video in iTunes 8?

Just downloaded the new iTunes. I don't have any video playback when I click preview in the store. No video when I try to play anything that I've already downloaded. The play cursor moves but I have a black screen with no sound. I'm hoping this is just a temporary glitch.
Any recommendations? I'm using the latest version of Leopard 10.5.4 on an Intel iMac.

Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
Great to have the Video back

Clicking sound when playing videos in Safari

When I play videos in Safari I gett a clicking sound. If I try the same video in Chrome I do not hear these clicking sounds

Hi, everyone. This is Joey from Bongiovi Acoustics. This is a frustrating and known issue that arose with the release of Mavericks. Click here for our help topic on the issue.
The solution is not to uninstall Digital Power Station (DPS) but to quit the application from the task bar when the issue arises.
Allow me to explain in detail:
The Digital Power Station plugin works by capturing all system audio using a virtual audio output driver (a kernel extension called DPSReflector). The audio then goes to the Digital Power Station application where we apply the Bongiovi DPS audio processing. Then processed audio flows out to the physical output on your Mac that you choose in the DPS preferences window.
When you quit the DPS application from the task bar menu, the DPSReflector is taken out of the audio path and your standard connection to the audio hardware is restored. There is no need to uninstall DPS. When you want to listen to music or non Quicktime X powered video, you can just restart DPS from Launchpad.
Unlike most applications (word processors, video games, Photoshop etc) the use of a kernel extension vastly complicates our interaction with OSX. Up through OSX 10.8 the kernel extensions that captured audio worked great. These include the famous Soundflower by Cycling 74 as well as our own DPSReflector. Apple provided tools to developrs to fine tune them and their interactions with OSX and the world was happy.
With OSX 10.9 things seem to have changed. See our forum topic on the issue. The tools for profiling audio processes at a lower level no longer seem to work properly. And documentation about the changes to CoreAudio is incomplete. We have had an open bug report with Apple's driver support team for several months and we are consulting with experts on OSX kernel extensions to resolve the issue. As you can imagine, the lack of movement on this issue is frustrating. We can't see inside of CoreAudio to see how it is built at a deep level. So without documentation or good developer support we are at a standstill for fixing the issue. As soon as we get actionable information from Apple we will fix the issue immediately and push out an update.
We are dedicated to providing our users with amazing audio and we go to great lengths to see that their experience is the very best we can offer. Our hope is the fine folks at Apple with get back with us and provide good data that we can use to squash this bug. Feel free to keep up to date on our progress at our forums.
Thanks for your patience!

Safari clicking sound when playing video.

Issue has been with me on my (mid-2012) MBPretina since I got it (I think). Video on any website has a consistent glitchy clicking sound (no actual video issues) but no issues in Chrome. Haven't tried other browsers and video in other apps (iTunes etc have no such problems)
I have now upgraded to Mavericks and the issue persists.
I'd rather not use Chrome so...
<Edited by Host>

If the video requires Flash ..
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Not empty the Safari cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Now try a video.

Crackling sound when playing video files with X-Fi Elite

Hello,
I have a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro running on a Windows Vista Ultimate system that have the Gigaworks S750 Speakers connected to them.
I noticed today when trying to play a video file that there was constant crackling in the background throughout the file. To try to isolate the problem, I tried a different file, and have found that this happens with ALL video files. Audio playback on mp3s or CDs is OK.
I'm using Entertainment Mode, EAX effects set to Theater, CMSS enabled and Crystallizer disabled, and all other settings as default. The configuration is set to 7. to match my Gigaworks speakers.
I have tried using both the latest and latest beta drivers for the card, without success.
Any help to resolve these problems would be appreciated.
Thanks.
H.

Thank you for the response. I have checked it, and it says (i've dutch language) something i would translate to English as "System sound output". Is that preference for all discs? I would assume so. But DVD-player plays some discs without sound, and some with sound. So maybe it is codec related? But i would not know how to check that... (when i try to see what codec, audio says it is dts, and i assume dts audio should be no problem?)

No video and only sound when playing itunes store video on Mountain Lion

Hi everyone,
Since I upgrade to Mountain Lion, the video on iTunes Store (with the last iTunes version 10.6.3.) doesn't show any video but only audio.
On the video screen there is just a mosaic of white and grey square.
I tried to reinstall iTunes, but it doesn't change anything.
Could you please help me on that.
Thanks.
W.

Exactly the same issue now. Did you solve it?
Thanks for letting me know how!

After iOS 8, no sound when playing video taken from the back camera..

I have an iPhone 5, everything was fine before the update, but after ios 8, when i record a video from the back camera only, it plays no sound. The front camera works fine, sound and picture are perfect during playback, back camera just picture, no sound.. Anyone else have a similar issue?

We are discussing this over here: iPhone 6 video recording without sound.

No sound when playing video from organizer in PSe 4.0

I am currently having a problem with previewing video in the organizer in Photoshop Elements 6.0. The problem is that there is no sound. I thought something went wrong during the import of these videos from the camcorder to the PC hard drive (imported through the Adobe Downloader) so I tried to use them in a project in Premier Elements 4.0.
If I open these videos in Premier Elements 4.0, you can hear the sound. Also, it's only for the .mpg I copy over from the camcorder. There are .avi files and .mov files in the organizer and those play just fine.
I use Windows XP with an older DELL system.
Anybody have this problem? Any suggestions how to fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried searching the web and these forums but I didn't find anything that matched my problem.
Tony H.

My suspicion is that there is not an appropriate system available mpeg2 codec on your Windows XP machine for the Photoshop Elements 6 Organizer to use for the playback of your .mpg file. Premiere Elements 4 provides its own codec for mpeg2 and I think that is why it can work with these files.
What solved this type of problem for me on an older Dell desktop runnning XP Home using Sony hard drive SD camcorder .mpg files was
-- to install the software provided by Sony on the CD that came with the camera
-- I think that the critical factor provided by the Sony software was the addition of an mpeg2 codec that Photoshop Elements 6 Organizer could then use.
I do want to emphasize that my solution may have been influenced by the specifics of my system: therefore, I can't be sure if it will resolve your problem.

No sound when playing video from iTunes on a Satellite M45

Hi,
After trying to play a video from iTunes on a Toshiba Satellite M45, the entire sound system went out. I think there is something wrong with the sound drivers or it/they can't be detected. I'm new to the PC world and any help in easy-to-understand terms will be grateful. Is there any destinations where I can download a new driver.
I need to fend off the insanity that's creeping in. Thanks.
Caden

Hi
I think you should firstly check the device manager if there are any yellow exclamation marks near to the sound card.
If yes so the sound driver reinstallation could help.
It seems that the notebook was designed for the US market. (because of the 5 at the end of the number)
So I think you should take a look on the US Toshiba site for driver updates.

Static, Crackles, and Pop Sounds

I have a Sound Blaster PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card?(.04.0000 Drivers) and it makes crackles and pop sounds when:
- I'm watching a video online in fullscreen (for example: Youtube, Gamespot, IGN)
- When I'm watching any video in fullscreen on Windows Media Player
- When playing a certain DVD or CD rom (for example, a movie or a music cd) the sound will go all static
- The sound will also crackle and pop in other programs when a movie or music DVD/CD is in my dri've, but not in use
- Certain games are unplayable because of all the static sound (for example: Starcraft)
- When I play?Street Fighter IV and Battlefield Heroes, I don't experience crackling or popping, but rather?poor sound quality (it's like sound coming from very bad?speakers with no bass).
My specs are:
Windows XP Professional SP3
Intel Core i7 @ 2.67Ghz
3 GB DDR3 Ram
HIS Radeon HD 4870 52 MB
Asus P6T Delxue Motherboard
I have disabled EAX Effects, X-Fi CMSS-3D, and X-Fi Crystalizer in the Creative Console. The sound card is currently in my PCIe x6 slot. I have tried putting it in my PCIe x4 Slot, but I get the same problems. Also, when I plug in my mic, it does not work! Why is that? and how can I get rid of these crackles, pops, and static noises?

Turns out I'm not very familiar with the Xtreme Audio cards which I'm pretty sure don't have an X-Fi chip, just some X-Fi algorithms in software. I'm not sure how much help I can provide. Have you tried CL Support?
What are you using for speakers?
If you get complete static, that could be attempting to send an encoded track like Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS CD Audio, to analog speakers. That would be a matter of making sure the player software settings are correct.
