Im getting poor audio... are my files bad?

I getting poor audio through my laptop speakers and with headphones via the jack... the audio fluctuates and remains inconsistent.  The songs stream fine to my apple tv and when i sync them to my old iPod shuffle.  I've tried restarting iTunes, then the computer itself, and then reloading the tracks manually... don't know what my next troubleshoot would be... I'm concerned by files may be bad...

  • Poor Audio Quality From Exchange 2010 UM

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing an issue with our Exchange 2010 Unified Messaging system in that the audio quality is suddenly rather poor.  We are using Cisco Callmanager 7 for our phone system.  When you call an automated attendant, hit the "messages"
    button or call the extension to go to voicemail, the audio you hear "crackles," or sounds like it is skipping slightly in that there are brief but noticable interruptions in the audio.
    The audio quality issue only occurs when you are connected to voicemail or automated attendants, but not when conversing to other people on phone calls, so that leads me to believe either some interoperability between CM and Exchange UM is malfunctioning, or
    just something in UM is a problem.  Also, if you listen to voice messages through the computer instead of over the phone, the quality is fine.  The problem seems to be mainly with calling in to the UM system.
    What can I do to properly troubleshoot this?  I have found the Exchange 2010 UM Troubleshooting Assistant, but I have to wait another 2 weeks before I can install Service Pack 1 due to downtime window restrictions.  I'm not coming up with a lot of
    documentation involving this, so if anyone has any information they think might help me get to the bottom of this I would apprecaite it.
    Thank you.

    Cisco Callmanger and UM are on the same LAN.
    I highly doubt that QoS is the culprit here, simply because there aren't any issues with phone calls.  If QoS was dropping VOIP packets, then IP phone to IP phone calls would also have poor audio quality.  If I call somebody on another IP
    phone on the LAN, the audio quality is perfect.  It is only when you are connected to the UM system that you hear the poor audio quality -- either listening to voicemail prompts, listening to actual voicemails, listening to the automated attendant --
    anything in which UM is on one end of the phone call.
    It also seems strange that this is somewhat intermittent.  When the issue first occurred, it was definitely happening every time you called in to the UM system and I could repeat the issue by simply pushing my messages button and listening to the welcome
    and prompt for a PIN.  I restarted the Exchange server at night, and the next day it was intermittent with people calling the help desk to say they were getting poor audio quality from UM but when I tried to repeat the issue I could not.
    I also have users complaining of intermittent slowness when using Outlook, which may be totally unrelated.  I have been running Perf logs on the Exchange server for the last couple of weeks othe CPU, Network Connections, Exchange RPC totals, etc.
    and can't find anything that is using too many resources.

  • No audio on .mpeg files with Quicktime 7.1.3

    Hello All,
    I am not getting any audio on .mpeg files that I play with Quicktime Player 7.1.3, but I get audio just fine on .avi files. Any suggestions?

    Jon, I did it that already, but when I want to open de file thru IPHOTO, Quicktime came up automatically. IS there any way to change that on the IPHOTO Settings?
    Okay, I understand now. You are looking for a double-click that opens the movie in an alternative player just as double-clicking a photo can be set to edit in an external graphic application. Looks like you cannot do this at this time. It appears the application is "hardwired" to the QT Player. Just checked and while double-clicking on a movie stored in the iPhoto Library at the Finder level works normally, doing so from within the application seems to intercept and re-direct the movie back to QT Player. Looks like it is time to request a feedback change to add this feature to iPhoto. Sorry I couldn't help.
    Does any one know if Quicktime support MPEG-1 files?
    As to your original question, QT includes "Playback Only" support for standard MPEG-1 files. If you check the data stream info, you are likely to find someone used non-standard audio compression. E.g., AC3 audio is not natively supported by QT. In fact, very few "muxed" audio formats are supported by QT. You could, of course, use MPEG Streamclip to see what audio codec was used and if compatible might be able to convert it to a standard MPEG/MP2 file which should not require reconverting the video data.

  • Help!! working on a movie on Imovie. I had to delete a music file from a clip section and now there are some clips that have no audio!!! don't know how to get the audio back to my clips!!!! Help!!!

    Help!! working on a movie on Imovie. I had to delete a music file from a clip section and now there are some clips that have no audio!!! don't know how to get the audio back to my clips!!!! Help!!!

    You can use some third party software to copy the music from your old iPod back to computer first, and then import the music into iTunes and re-sync them to yournew iPod. Here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them

    How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them. They have a ton of books but I can only listen to them from my windows media player and I wouldlove to download to my I pod but I have tried everything I can think of it they won't go over.  Someone said all I had to do was copy them over and they would convert but I can't even get them to copy.  Thanks.

    Well it started happening AGAIN with my 2nd IPod. No matter what I did, it Itunes would NOT restore it!
    I finally installed Itunes on my hubby's PC at work and managed to get it restored there.
    Apparently, there must be some sort of compatibility issue with the windows version of Itunes and some other piece of software on my pc.
    And one more important thing! I had to follow the instructions in the other thread that talks about how to correctly uninstall itunes and quicktime, in order to completely eliminate ALL traces of my "first" ipod's existence so it wouldn't demand that I restore it.
    I think the software got "confused" and thought when I connected my 2nd ipod, that it was the 1st and that it still needed to be restored.
    Basically, this is just POORLY written and POORLY tested software!

  • I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

  • Hdv 1080i60 MOV file: all I get is audio, video is white

    Greetings,
    I received some hi-def video files from a guy who shot some footage for me. They are .mov files. Here's the FInder info for one of them:
    Dimensions: 1440 x 1080
    Codecs: HDV 1080i60, Integer (Big Endian), Timecode
    Duration: 05:10
    Channel count: 2
    Total bit rate: 26,483
    When I drag this clip into FCE, all I get is the audio. The video portion is solid white.
    The clip plays correctly in VLC. How can I get it to play in FCE?
    Thanks!
    DM

    Native HDV is not supported in FCE. The material needs to be converted to the Apple Intermediate Codec. Without knowing exactly how the material was captured using what application and platform it's impossible to say. If it was captured using Final Cut Pro, that application or Compressor will have to be used to convert the media.

  • Can't get audio on .pps files

    I have Open Office, which opens .pps files which coe as email attachments just fine, but I can't get the audio. I also find the toolbar hard to deal with, but while that impacts this question I realize it's probably another issue.

    HI Roger,
    Try updating your system software. Your profile indicates you are running 10.5.5
    Go to the Apple Menu / Software Updates...
    As far as the Toolbar is concerned, from the Safari Menu Bar, click View / Customize Toolbar

  • I was working on a project a few days ago and now I'm not getting any audio or visuals out of it. In the project file the screen went grey. Not sure how to fix this. I'm new to iMovie, but the program seems easy to use and my Mac is new. Any help?

    I used to use Movie Maker and it would be able to handle lots of file uploads and big projects. I figure iMovie can do the same since it's newer and it's on my iMac. I was working on a project for a few months, it was working fine up until about a few days ago when the project file just stopped working. Not getting any audio or visuals and the screen went grey. I hope to not lose the project file as I've spent a lot of time on it. The project will still show up in iMovie, but it won't play. Other project files will, but this one won't for some reason. It's my first time using this program and I assumed it would be fine, but now it's causing me big problems. Anyone else run into a similar problem?

    But it is I jsut can sync, back up files, or anything becuase its stuck at this screene and wont do execute when i click either of those button

  • I own a website and my customers download zipped files. Until yesterday everything worked great. All of the sudden they are getting a message that the file is invalid or corrupt. This does not happen in Chrome.

    I own a website selling digital files. My customers receive an email after they place their order with a download link. Up until yesterday (for the past 3 years to be exact) everything worked smoothly. I have not changed one thing on my site or cpanel. Now customers get an error that the file is invalid or corrupt when they try and download with firefox. The links work fine with chrome. Please tell me there is a solution. This is causing major trouble!!!

  • How do i get itunes to display my library (which is on an external hard drive)?  It worked OK on old PC, but not new my new laptop.   They are M4A files. are

    My itunes library used to be on a PC - but shortly before the PC went to PC heaven I transferred the library onto an external hard drive.  It worked fine.   Now I have a laptop - but I can't get itunes to pick up the library location.   I have changed in advance preferences, but the library does not display.  I have tried holding down shift when starting itunes - but when I do that it looks for *.itl files, and all my files are M4A files.  What do I do next?

    You mean you transferred the media, not the library...
    Now I have a laptop - but I can't get itunes to pick up the library location
    The library location is in your /Music/ oflder.
    Your media files (not yet in your new iTunes library ) is on the external drive.
    I have changed in advance preferences, but the library does not display.
    Because you have not yet added anything to your library.
    Quit iTunes.
    On the external, create a new folder named My iTunes library (or something).
    Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select My iTunes library on the external.
    Go into Windows Explorer and move all the media files on the external into /My iTunes Llibrary/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.

  • I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book

    I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

    If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Powershell Get-childItem: The specified path, file name, or both are too long.

    Hey Scriping Guys!
    I've been using a PowerShell script for a couple of years now to generate a monthly report showing the size of user folders on a number of departmental file servers.  It's working just fine on all file servers except one where the users have gotten carried away with creating sub-folders and using realy long descriptive file names.  The problem piece of script is this:
    $colItems = (Get-ChildItem \\192.168.10.5\marketing -recurse | Measure-Object -property length -sum)
    "marketing-serv\marketing: "+"{0:N2}" -f ($colItems.sum / 1GB) + " GB"
    The reply I get is:
    Get-ChildItem : The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully
    qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name mu
    st be less than 248 characters.
    At G:\data\Server_space_Report\serverspace2.ps1:37 char:27
    + $colItems = (Get-ChildItem  <<<< \\192.168.10.5\marketing -recurse | Measure-Obje
    ct -property length -sum)
    Yes, the message is correct, however, when I connect to the server, right click the folder and chose properties it returns a size of 128 GB.  My questions are
    1. Why does clicking on folder properties not produce an error (what is it doing differently from my script)?
    2. How can I fix my script?
    Thanks,

    I am trying to clear up the older open posts on this forum. If this is still an unresolved issue for you please let me know. If you do not post back within one week I will assume it is resolved and will close this thread.
