I have no audio playback in Garageband 10.0.1

I have a strange issue. I have been working on a project in Garageband 10.0.1, and while trying to get some final mixes done, my audio isn't working.
Some details:
Each track is showing that it is playing
I have tried to start a new basic track, then deleted it, no help
Master Volume slider is at a normal level.
All other sound sources work in other programs
I have tried built in sound and system settings
I have quit and restarted GB, with no change
I have restarted my iMac, no change
Any ideas?

Apple has not yet released GarageBand tutorials for GarageBand 10.0. There is only the built-in Help, see: http://help.apple.com/garageband/mac/10.0/
The Bullets&Bones FAQ has a few nice videos, see: http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html

How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio from garageband be the sound when recording and not just your normal voice but garage band effects for youtube?

How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio form garageband be apart of the video when recording, meaning the audio from garageband and echo and not just your normal voice for youtube post?its not add the garageband audio its just normal voice from mic no effects is going thru?

Hi Life93,
What you describe would be possible by recording your video, then removing the audio from it and adding audio from GarageBand once the video is in iMovie (I presume here that you are using iMovie for your video production. Other applications may need different methods.)
See this thread on how to remove the audio from a clip in iMovie -

No Audio Playback due to Error Message "Disk is too slow. (Prepare) (-10001)"

Out of the blue, no audio playback. Was working just fine earlier today.
I repeatedly get the error message:
Disk is too slow. (Prepare)
(-10001)
NOTE: I have more than enough disc space. That is NOT the issue.
I also just got a second error message:
Part of the Project was not played
This project has too many real instrument tracks to be played in real-time. To optimize performance, see the 'Optimizing GarageBand performance' page in GarageBand Help.
NOTE: Odd as I have only 2 tracks in the GarageBand file.
Any others experience this? Suggestions?

Have a look into the Preferences folder (YourUserFolder/Libraries/Preferences/) and trash all Logic preferences.
You'll have to setup the program again.
cheers

Premiere Elements 12 - Gaps in audio playback

Hello everyone!
I have a problem with Adobe Premiere Elements 12: when I play video in timeline or preview window, there are lots of gaps and pauses in audio playback, even though video is playing smoothly. Usually the pattern goes like this: 2 seconds of clean audio - 0,5 seconds silence - 2 seconds of clean audio... etc.
I have tried the following:
- change audio buffer settings
- change audio device (I have tested with integrated audio chip ("High Definition Audio"), M-Audio Fast Track Pro and cheap USB audio interface - same results with all of them)
- start a new project with correct settings and import only one file
- disable background antivirus monitoring
Usually source material is AVCHD 1440x1080 25fps (PAL, MTS-file) from small Sony camera, but this problem seems to continue even if I insert only still photo and mp3 audio to timeline. CPU load is about 6% during playback. It seems like Premiere Elements makes these gaps to playback signal before sending it to audio hardware?
Computer specs: Intel Core i7-4770 @ 3,4GHz, 16 GB RAM, 128GB SSD drive for OS & software and 2.0TB 7200 rpm drive for video, Intel HD Graphics 4600, Windows 8 (64bit).
I would be really grateful if someone could give me some tips to solve this annoying audio playback problem.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that this problem occurs all the time - even when video is rendered in timeline.

Thanks for the quick response, TonyPh12345. Clearly not what I was hoping for but not unexpected. BB

Performance hit in audio playback in Solaris 10

Hi,
I've noticed while trying out the Solaris 10 beta 72 that the audio playback quality took a major hit since Solaris 9. I was hoping that this would go away in the Solaris 10 release, but it's not the case.
If I try to play an .mp3 file with mpg123 or even audioplay an .au file, there are regular clicks in the playback, audible about twice per second. Booting into Solaris 9, the audio playback is perfect.
My intuition tells me that the integration of DTrace into the kernel is the culprit, but of course, I have no proof. Can anyone think of a way to test this theory? Can DTrace be disabled? Maybe DTrace can be used to figure out what's going on?

Maybe DTrace can be

IPhone 4 audio playback cuts out after latest update (5.1)

My phones audio playback ( podcast, audiobook or music) cuts out at random intervals during playback.
This happens when listening through apple headPhones or my audio lead aux input to my stereo.
This has only started since the last software update (5.1). It's really frustrating as you often hit the jump back or forward arrows when restarting, instead of the intended Play symbol ( they are close together). This is really frustrating when your listing to an hour+ podcast.
Is anyone else having this problem since the update?

Same problem here! My phone was functioning correctly after the update until today, when it randomly attempted it's own emergency call, then requested that I turn on location services. When I hit cancel, it repeatedly requested that I turn on the service. When I agreed to turn on location services, it defaulted to the screen with the iTunes logo and the USB cable. Since then, I have been unable to get it to function. The phone has been switching between a black screen and the apple screen and buzzing periodically. When I touched the apple, it pixellated and melted away. I did see a message that the iPhone needed to be activated once and very briefly. I managed to connect it to iTunes using an old troubleshooting guide, but when I asked iTunes to restore it to factory settings (politely, thank you), it gave me error 21 (unknown error) and said it was unable to restore.
Hopefully someone has an answer...?

Audio playback stops short

Has anyone had problems with audio playback in a previewed or published presentation where the playback stop short and advanced to the next slide?

Brian,
The fact that this mp3 is about the same size as a standard 16 bit/44.1k stereo file of a 3 or 4 minute song, indicates to me that it's an extremely long file.
I'm willing to bet you have run into the measure limit within a Logic song. It's 2000 something (can't remember it exactly).
The standard work around is to drop Logic's tempo to something really slow, thus allowing the larger file to be able to play within the Logic song limit.
See if that's it...

X201 hangs and makes noises during audio playback

Hello, I've a 3249CTO X201 with 8g of ram and an updated Hdd (seagate momentus xt 500gb with 4gb ssd).
I had issues with the Hdd that where partially resolved with a seagate firmware update (the hdd kept going from standby to active mode without apparent reason and it was assumed to be a too agressive power saving mode...)
Anyway, my issue here is the annoying chirping sound coming out the speakers during any audio playback (online audio streams, films, mp3, youtube... you name it!) anytime the Hdd is accessed.
It even seems like everything just hangs for anywhere between 0 and 2 seconds at the exact same time.
It only happens when on battery and using w7 pro 64bit. If I use ubuntu from my 8g sdhc card, it never occurs (even if I use chrome on both and watching the exact same youtube video). (NOTE that I did access the hdd from ubuntu to prove my point...)
I think it is related to the power gestion of the system and I've tried a countless serie of different power management settings. It affect the frequency of the episodes (would occur more or less often) but it still happens.
When plugged in, it never occurs....
If it doesn't occur under ubuntu (I mean never!), it should not be hardware related, however the w7 way of managing power is different so I tend to think there IS a hardware issue (weakness) wich might be highligted by the OS.
Anybody has a good lead on this?

Hello Fafaneboat,

Why do I have no audio in AE 6?

Hi. I recently began a project in AE 6 on a 2012 mac lion using a canon hf10 avchd. I exported the project from final cut 7 and imported the project into After Effects. The file imported, however upon opening, the audio played with no video and now as I attempt to edit in After Effects CS6, I am left with only video playback, no audio. I have a waveform and I have checked the audio box in the timeline and RAM preview.
One thing I noticed (and this may not be significant) is that in audio midi setup (MAC) there is a column that displays an After Effects 11.0 option. I clicked it and the window displayed to the right shows a USE/AUDIO DEVICE/IN/OUT/DRIFT grid. Within the USE column and Built-in Output row there is a box left unchecked. I checked it to activate the built in audio for the program, yet when I resume editing back in AE, the box unchecks itself. From this I suspect there might be a bug.
Has anyone here had the same problem? and if so could you please help me?
Eddie
P.S I've imported multiple different .mov clips in AE with different settings regarding their video quality (SD and HD) and none seem to contain audio playback when I play them as a composition and as a file themself. These files DO play their audio in Quicktime, however. Thanks, guys.

Hello,
I suppose you did want to post on the After Effects forum, but this is on of the Adobe Captivate forums...
Could you try there?

Problem Using Zoom H4 as an Audio Interface with Garageband

I'm new to GB and I am having problems getting started using my Zoom H4 as an Audio Interface with Garageband on my iMAC.
I'm fairly certain that I have the connection and all of the setting configurations correct, and yet I cannot get any sound from the H4 into GB.
I do see the sound volume registering in the Input Level window of the H4, but not in GB.
Here is what I see in my Garageband:
Preferences >
Audio/MIDI >
- System Setting
- Built-in Microphone
- Built-in Input
- H4 Audio IN (when H4 is connected to the iMAC via USB)
Of course I have selected the H4.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Operators standing by!

I don't have a H4 but do have a H2. Did you set the H4 as a audio interface, after you plug it in choose interface in the H4 screen?
Did you choose the H4 input channel in the track info?

Audio playback delayed thru Firewire monitor - JVC BR-DV3000

First I apologize for the length of this post, but I want to make sure I've adequately described the problem. For years, I've edited with FCP using a JVC HR-DVS2U (DV/SVHS combo deck) with great results. I use it to capture and output through firewire, also connected is a monitor and a UVW-1600 Beta machine.
Now a buddy of mine also has a system using a JVC BR-DV3000. When I attempted to set his system up similar to mine, using the DV deck as the conduit for monitoring and recording to beta, he complained about audio dropping out at the beginning of transitions in the timeline. This was the weirdest thing! How does the DV machine know that a transition is taking place?! I thought it was just data out. I finally traded out machines with him and hooked it up to my system. At first, I didn't have any problems. I mainly edit 30-second commercials, so I played back a timeline with three dozen transitions in it without a hitch! So now I'm really confused, until one day I had a 20 minute long timeline of about 20 promos back to back, all digitized from beta. Sure enough there was the audio playback delay. I switched the audio playback from firewire to computer audio out and I did not have the problem, but I could not record out to tape in this configuration. Then I thought maybe it's just the length of the timeline, so I opened up a commercial timeline that plays back fine and pasted one of the beta promos in there. The 30 second spot played back fine and then when it hit the beta vid it had the audio dropout. Now understand, the audio is NOT out of sync, it just drops out for about two seconds when playing back from the timeline. You can watch the VU meter on the deck, it completely loses the audio for two seconds, mostly when you first start the timeline and at most transitions. I now think it may have something to do with the source material. I just digitized some video from DV that was shot on a JVC camera, when most of the stuff I shoot is from a Canon XL1. The JVC camera footage has this dropout issue. Any clues?

This has happened to me too. The problem is with the firmware in older DV3000 decks. JVC has an update, but you can't do it yourself. JVC or your dealer will have to do it for you. In the meantime there is a workaround. Make sure your DV3000 is powered on FIRST. Then start FCP. That trick always worked for me. Good Luck.

Problems with audio playback in 10.3.9

hi all- I've got a really weird problem with the audio playback of my G5; when I try and play an mp3 (in Itunes or in the finder window as a preview) the playback "stutters" arbitrarily. This goes for any mp3 - Has anyone come accross this type of problem before?
I've run checks both with my external soundcard (a motu 828 firewire card) and apple's internal sound, but this seems to be some sort of software problem.
HELP!!! I'm tearing the (little) hair I have out!!!
thanks
Lolo
Power mac G5 2x2 Ghz & G4 titanium 667 mhz Mac OS X (10.3.9) 512 ram on G5 and 1 gig ram on G4; both computers are used for audi home studio

Right.. 10.3.x doesn't automatically pull down mobile users' files. It only creates a new local account on the machine, but gives you the control over the account through WGM.
BTW- if you want to sync the ~/Library folder, you will need to use 10.4.3 Client (I think) and above.

HTML5 Audio Playback issue from firefox 33 and above.

I have created an application which was working just fine till firefox 32. It is still working fine in firefox 32. But from firefox 33 and above, the audio playback does not start intermittently.
I tried to debug and find the problem further. What I observed is that the html5 audio element in firefox 33 and above does not dispatch 'readyState' event as 4 which is needed to start the playback. It shows its value as '2' due to which, the 'canplay' event is not getting triggered.
This issue is replicable on local machine as well using some bandwidth throttling software. Also, it is important to note that this issue is visible on MAC's firefox. On windows, things are working just fine.
If anyone has any solution of this problem, please let me know.

Actually, I ran all but ADW and I included Super AntiSpyware. There is no virus. It is only V33+ and other browsers work fine. I think I will give up on Firefox for now until I upgrade to Win 7.
Thank you everyone for your input.
