HP G56 intermittent sound problem - e.g you tube/MP3 files play for 10 seconds then stop. I have made sure that the latest sound driver is installed and this makes no difference. The laptop is new so there is no other software on it other than the pre-installed stuff operating on windows 7. In sound options all looks well and the device is said to be working properly. Even the sound test in device manager sometimes works and sometimes doesnt.

I cannot get sound from the web, you tube, etc, however, my speakers are on and my itunes play sound? What gives?
Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if Youtube videos etc play Ok - if they do, close Firefox, open IE and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart IE.

Sound Blaster Instability - Are you affected? (Stability Test for "Squealing", et
I've created a test that works on my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS with my particular hardware configuration as a proof of concept of the instability ( "high-pitched squealing" ) issues I have. (I have an ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard.) I am seeking to find out if it "works" for other people with squealing issues (i.e. triggers them).
Do our problems really have common symptoms, or a common source? I hope we can find that out, and ideally this would be a step toward that.
I believe it would be helpful for people who have problems with their cards to post some system information, along with descriptions of what the problems are.
Some useful system information to post would be . Motherboard, 2. CPU, 3. Video Card, 4. Sound Card, 5. Operating System, 6. Sound Driver and version, 7. Power Supply.
.. and then whether you have problems with Snap-Crackle-Pop (SCP), High-Pitched Squealing (HPS), BSODs, or other errors.
For example, here's my information:
. ASUS P5N-E SLI
2. Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
3. ATI X800XT
4. Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
5. Windows XP Pro SP2
6. Creative drivers, 5.2.4.96 (SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006)
7. Cooler Master iGreen Power 600W
I experience HPS and BSODs. Typical times for the sound test to fail for me are between 5 seconds and 2 minutes.
Some information is better than none. It's not necessary to give complete system information if you don't know it all. But the most important information would be what motherboard you have, what sound card you have, what problems you experience (if any) and whether or not the test results in instability for you.
IMPORTANT: It's important to note that you are running this test AT YOUR OWN RISK, and while the files included don't inherently cause harm, it is possible for data corruption to occur if your system is affected by this issue.
These key files are needed in order to perform the test: a MIDI and a high-definition audio file (in this case, a high-definition (24-bit/48kHz) WAVE of near-silence). These are included in the zip file I have linked to below. According to CreativeSkeptic, MIDI playback makes high utilization of the PCI bus, so this may be why the problem is caused so easily this way.
I would be interested in hearing your results if you have experienced the high-pitched squealing in games or even if you haven't.
You can hear an example of what may happen if you experience instability [url="http://www.supload.com/listen?s=Sxfea3MfL">here[/url].
Sound Blaster Test.zip at Wikiupload.com
Or.. Sound_blaster_test.Zip by Bigupload.Com
(Note: The zip file is around 50KB in size, but it expands to over 42MB. This is due to the high-definition nature of the 5-minute wave file necessary to induce this problem in affected systems.)
This test will measure the stability of your Sound Blaster in your
particular system configuration. It is tested with Windows XP and
Windows Media Player , though these *may* not be essential for the
functioning of the test.
WARNING:
CLOSE ALL RUNNING PROGRAMS TO AVOID DATA LOSS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
Instructions:
. Open silence.wav in Windows Media Player. To do so, you can drag it
onto the Windows Media Player shortcut in this folder.
2. Then, open the Play Midi shortcut.
Note:
This test will ONLY work if your system is using standard or full
hardware sound acceleration. In addition, your system must be using
your Sound Blaster as its MIDI interface directly. Software synthesizers
will not trigger the problem.
You can tell if your system has become unstable based on the
corrupted nature of the instruments played by the MIDI. It will
begin to sound odd and unnatural, with random notes inserted
here and there. It will be clear to you that this has happened.
For me, it doesn't take more than a few minutes before the instability
appears.
If this is the case, it is recommended that you do one of two things:
- Press the RESET button on your computer.
- Pull the power plug, if you have no reset button.
This is to avoid data loss associated with a blue screen of death
that would normally occur if you did not take these measures to
prevent it.
If you do experience these stability issues, you are at risk of BSOD's
when gaming or other playback problems. Please report this in the forum.

http://www.supload.com/listen?s=Sxfea3MfLMessage Edited by sireebob on 03-25-200708:2 PMMy X-Fi XtremeGamer passes this "test". No BSODs, etc. But I've discovered my computer has problems beyond sound card issues (I didn't even notice them until recently).
In other words, I've seen firsthand (whether this is true for the majority or not) that my issues with the Audigy 2 ZS don't translate exactly over to the X-Fi XtremeGamer, so if you have an X-Fi don't expect problems with this test, but by all means try if you want to see for sure.
(One problem remains from the Audigy 2 ZS, however: randomly skipping ahead in videos or certain audio streams. It doesn't happen with onboard audio, but my tendency is still to call this a system problem unrelated to the sound card because it doesn't happen on my old PC.)
(Oh, and I know I'm replying to my own post, so don't think I'm nuts. I just thought it would be appropriate to report my experience with my new card in another post.)Message Edited by sireebob on 03-27-20072:24 PM -
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. -
No sound on Macbook with you-tube videos
Hello!
For some odd reason, lately my Macbook has no sound when I am viewing you-tube videos or listening to various MP3's from different sites. I checked the sound and it is all the way up and not muted, I also checked the system preferences and its fine there too. Yet, when I play music from my I-tunes, it plays just fine. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I have problem login to you tube built in
I have problem login to youtube built in in ipad1 3.2 upgraded to 5.1.1, it simply do not get in rather in pc logged in without problems well? may install new you tube app not built in but stand alone or it can not done?
The stand-alone youTube App only requires iOS 5 so it should work on your iPad.
However, I think that you are going to have to find out why you cannot login to your youTube account since a different version of the app may make no difference with respect to that problem.
Good luck! -
My macbook pro doesn't make any sound when I'm watching you tube or some other videos. The mute button seems off, volume up at the maximum level. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks
lf you have only one mini conector, look in and see if there a red light on, if so take toothpick and insert it in the hole and GENTLY wiggle it around, there is a normalling switch tnat converts the signal from analog to digital

As stated above I will get a random radio station coming through my computer playing ads. I found similar problems happening to pc users but no help offered to a mac user. No applications are running in the background (to my knowledge) and its really iritating. Any help or advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!! -
Strange Problem - All of my preloaded .swf files play at once
Hey guys,
I've been getting a strange problem that I haven't been able to debug. I recently developed an interactive audio and video treatment program that users click through in which a master swf file (DTM-Start.swf) uses ActionScript upon first being loaded to load the rest of the program in the background. Here's how the code looks:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
// create movieclip objects to hold the loaded movies
var intr1:MovieClip;
var maladaptIntr1:MovieClip;
var maladaptIntr1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
var maladaptIntr1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("DTM-Maladapt1.swf");
maladaptIntr1Loader.load(maladaptIntr1Request);
maladaptIntr1Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, maladaptIntr1Loaded);
var intr1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
var intr1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("DTM-Intr1.swf");
intr1Loader.load(intr1Request);
intr1Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, intr1Loaded);
function maladaptIntr1Loaded(event:Event):void
maladaptIntr1 = event.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
maladaptIntr1.stop();
addChild(maladaptIntr1);
maladaptIntr1.y = -1000
trace("maladaptIntr1");
function intr1Loaded(event:Event):void
intr1 = event.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
intr1.stop();
addChild(intr1);
intr1.y = -1000
trace("intr1");
function playIntr1() {
intr1.y = 0;
intr1.play();
function playMaladapt1() {
maladaptIntr1.y = 0;
maladaptIntr1.play();
So that's the idea. What's strange is that when I load a .swf file compiled with AIR 2.6 (because the user interacts with the movie and a text file is output) it's fine too, but as soon as I add any actionscript, even if it's just a stop() command, to a .swf file compiled with AIR, the DTM-Start.swf loads and then plays all of the movies simultaneously so they're all going off at once. Essentially, flash seems to be ignoring the maladaptIntr.stop() command in the Loaded function, for instance. I just don't understand why adding any Actionscript whatsoever to a .swf compiled with AIR would make my DTM-Start do this. I am very confident this is the issue too, because loading .swf files compiled with the FlashPlayer with action script are fine...AIR .swf files without Actionscript are fine too, it's only AIR .swf files with ANY actionscript that cause this problem....
Any ideas?
Much appreciated!
Thanks,
RickyOne solution is simply to have a stop() in the constructor of the document Class of each swf you're loading. Another solution is something like:
package {
class MainDocument extends MovieClip {
protected var swfs:Array = ['DTM-Maladapt1.swf', 'DTM-Intr1.swf'];
protected var positions:Array = [{x:0, y:0}, {x:0, y:0}];
protected var movies:Array /*of MovieClips*/ = [];
protected var loadIndex:int;
protected var playIndex:int;
protected var curremtMovie:MovieClip;
public function MainDocument() {
super();
loadMovie(loadIndex);
protected function loadMovie(loadIndex:int):void {
var loader:Loader = new Loader;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
loader.load(new URLRequest(swfs[loadIndex]));
protected function onLoadComplete(e:Event):void {
var mc:MovieClip = LoaderInfo(e.currentTarget).content as MovieClip;
mc.stop();
var position:Object = positions[loadIndex];
mc.x = positions.x;
mc.y = positions.y;
addChild(mc);
movies[movies.length] = mc;
loadIndex++;
if (loadIndex<swfs.length) {
loadMovie(loadInxed);
} else {
playMovie(playIndex);
protected function playMovie(playIndex):void{
if (currentMovie) {
currentMovie.stop();
currentMovie = movies[playIndex];
currentMovie.play();
Note that with this approach you don't need to create a whole new set of logic each time you want to add a new swf to load. -

i attached the mp3 file
here is my actionscript
private function init(e:Event = null):void
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
var musicurl:String = root.loaderInfo.parameters.musicurl;
var musicvolume:String = root.loaderInfo.parameters.musicvolume;

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(musicurl);
var context:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext(buffertime, false);
soundObject.load(req, context);
var channel:SoundChannel = soundObject.play(0);
//var channel:SoundChannel = soundObject.play(10000); // start the mp3 at 10 seconds, it work
if(musicvolume != null && channel != null)
var transform:SoundTransform = channel.soundTransform;
transform.volume = parseFloat(musicvolume);
channel.soundTransform = transform;
text.text = "loaded";
} else {
text.text = "fail";
text.textColor = 0xFF0000;
text.setTextFormat(format1);thx for reply
but without resave/modify the file, can do some coding in AS3 to let it work?

X-Fi Fatal1ty Sound Problems in Fable
I do not know if the problem is driver related:
In the Fable "tutorial" where at last you have to fight against Maze the sound stutters and then screeches horribly. Afterwards it totally drops out. Occasionally in the cutscene afterwards the sound may come back but mostly it does not.
This behaviour is repeating whenever I play the game sequence again. This happens with the german retail version of Fable LC and all the latest drivers on Windows XP SP2. There is no patch for Fable LC (yet).Ok I got it working again 2 days ago by taking the PCI card out and placing in the uppermost PCI slot on my motherboard. It works for 2 whole days, worked amazing, sounded great.
Today...
No sound again, everything is work as far as the diagnostics and windows are concerned but no sound!
And music files again don't progress further than 00:00.
Another related problem to this is that you tube videos only play for 5 seconds and then stop. They kinda pause but with out the pause button. This only happens when the sound card starts doing this.
Can anyone help me as this is driving me nuts. It can't be a hardware fault surely. Nothing has changed since yesterday when it was working great. This is gonna be the story forever till I can fix it.
Please someone help, I'm at the end of my tether! I have put up with this for a whole year, enough is enough, I need answers.
Going to log a support call with creative, hope that gets me somewhere! -
My music on iTunes plays perfectly but I have bought 2 videos from the music store and downloaded a few podcasts and the sound stutters really badly as if two different soundcards were trying to play the audio at the same time -needless to say I only have one soundcard installed. If I open QuickTime and play the videos in there directly they sound fine so the problem must be with iTunes itself. I am using iTunes 6 and the latest version of QT. I have tried all of the QT settings trouble-shooting suggestions on the support pages. I have got the most recent driver for my soundcard, I have the most recent version of DirectX and I have even tried changing my soundcard but the problem remains the same. Has anyone any idea what the problem is?
I am a new owner of iPod video and have used Videora. Tried several times and it is successful. For sound problems, I suggest you to look at 2 dimensions as well.
1. On the "setup" menu (right below "Convert"), there is a sound volumn for you to adjust. I found that I have to adjust it to at least 225% to make it audible thru my headphones.
2. For some DVD, there are multiple sound tracks of different languages, DVD Decruptor allows you to choose the subtitles and the language. Only click those that you want.
Good luck!
