Intermittant audio static/distortion when streaming video

New member seeking solution to an annoying problem. When
streaming video sites such as Youtube, MSN videos, and other video
sites, the audio has intermittent static, much like a radio station
that isn't fully tuned in. I have a laptop with an external sound
card, and it does it through it hooked to a small stereo system, as
well as the laptop's built-in soundcard and speakers. I have
updated the Flash player, and tried completely uninstalling and
reinstalling the sound drivers. Next thing, I am going to totally
uninstall Adobe Flash and try reinstalling it to see if it takes
care of the problem. By the way, it does it with both Internet
Exploder and Firefox. Any suggestions are welcome.
Sincerely,
John

The same thinks happens to me,
Thank you.

Apple TV disconnects when streaming video from iMac.

I am using my Apple TV to stream video from my iMac to my TV using AirPlay display. Every 5 minutes or so, it disconnects. The video freezes on the TV but will continue playing on the iMac. Then after a few seconds it disconnects completely and the apple TV will return to the menu screen and I then have to reconnect. I also have noticed that it only disconnects when streaming video. I'm able to use the Airplay to display what's on my computer screen and it works fine without disconnecting. I have no issues with the connectivity of my internet, there is always a full signal. I've been searching for answers on this and have found similar issues have happened to other users but none of the suggestions have worked so far.
Very frustrated... please help!

What is described above is a network issue. Troubleshoot the network.

Logic audio engine crashes while streaming video and recording 4 channels simultaneous audio

logic audio engine crashes while streaming video and recording 4 channels simultaneous audio

Hi there,
I also wanted to thank you for your response and let you know that I have tried all those trouble shooting things you suggest to no avail.
it seems to me that the first explanations are most likely to be the case.
namely that the program can multithread while the plugs only use one processor (particularly EXS24) which is bloody useless.
also increasing the buffer to 1024 is not an option cause you gotta bloody lay tracks, which means you gotta hear the BG tracks and play yours on top in time otherwise, you record your new tracks and they are so out of time that it sounds like a little kid wanking on a guitar or whatever...
and of course for composition with midi intruments it doesn't work at all cause your latency becomes so huge that you would need a miracle to quantize your off time notes back to normal so that you can arrange, print score, etc.
either way, I hope that my tone is not disrespectful, it is aimed at apple in frustration, I'm grateful for your help.
thank you
David

Why does mirroring with airplay always stop when streaming videos?

When streaming video on my iPhone 4s with OS 7.1

When streaming video on my iPhone 4s with OS 7.1 the sound is fine but the video is like watching a slide show. What's causing this?

Thank you but I got that figured out. The issues is in that the text from incoming Emails are so small it is difficult to read. If you increase the font size using what you suggested, incoming is easier to read but when you compose a new email it is like getting far fewer words on the screen because the text is so large.
Something changed in the new version of the operating system!

My Macbook turns off randomly after being on for a while and usually occurs when streaming video on netflix or something. I think it is overheating. Any thoughts?

Airplay video on iPad audio on TV when streaming from Home Share

If I stream video from my iTunes Library to my iPad, then turn on AirPlay to my ATV, the video plays on the iPad but audio plays on the TV. I could use the Apple TV to grab the content from my iTunes library, but why the weird behavior? Is there a fix?

See if any of the fixes here helps: http://appletv2.com/apple-tv-no-audio-fix/

Firewire Audio Static/Distorted

In the middle of a project today, during playback, audio through Firewire deck became static, distorted, too loud. Audio meters in FCP are fine, but meters on firewire deck are pegged. Tried other projects and they have same problem. Swapped firewire cable to no avail. Switched over to my MacbookPro but rest of my regular peripherals and played the same project without the problem... so it must be something in my MacPro Tower. If I set FCP to playback audio through computer, not firewire, it plays fine.
Ideas?

I've seen this issue on several IntelMac edit stations when FCP 6 was first released on through v6.0.2. Just to compare, the problem I've witnessed is that the Firewire audio out will suddenly be nothing but digital garbage; distorted, garbled, scratchy noise. Changing the audio routing to the internal speakers results in normal audio, but as soon as you change it back to Firewire (or Audio Follows Video), nothing but garbage again.
AFAIK, trashing preferences has always worked ... keep us informed on what you find out.

Freezes when streaming videos

I have brand new MSI GT60 laptop with GTX870M ,i7-4800MQ CPU and 8gb ram.
There is a random 2-3 second freeze every few minutes while i am streaming videos(any site
CNN.com - Breaking News, U.S., World, Weather, Entertainment & Video News, youtube, etc). they don't play smoothly at all , they play so laggy. during this freeze audio does not loop
or freeze, it continues normally.
i have tried the following
1. i have updated all the drivers video, network, sound.
2. Tried a different browser (both Firefox and Chrome).
3. Used the killer cleaner and installed the pure drivers.
4. Tried the killer package from MSI support page, recovery disc and the version from Qualcomm site.
5. Gave up and installed a brand new windows 8.1 as a secondary boot, same issue.
6. tried disconnecting all USB devices and everything , still freezes.
Seriously i don't know what other options i have
This particular issue could not be a temp thing, since it starts right from the moment i switch on the laptop. Also i don't notice any lags when i am playing games or playing videos using some video player(BS player/VLN)
Its not an internet issue as well, videos would have completely buffered already but would still freeze.
Looks like a flash player issue, i have tried 3 versions of flash player (11,13,14 ) all have this issue, i just cant solve this.
What else can i do? Could it be a hardware issue ?

I did try different browser (Chrome and IE), both have this issue
I have also run some traces, uploaded trace files here

IN DJ 6/29...ETL by far the largest problem (by a factor of 2) is Firefox. I would tyr with extensions disabled and if it continues I would re-install it or use another browser.

Audio drops out when following video to external monitor

When I play a sequence to an external monitor, the audio drops out for 2 to 3 seconds after changes on the video track, and then pops back in with no interuption in video output. It doesn't happen at every cut, but it's consistent in the places it does. I thought it might be caused by the size the project has become. So I exported the sequence as a quicktime file, closed the lage project, opened a new one and exported the new file and played it and it happened again, even though there were no edits. It doesn't occur at all when I turn off external video, and play it on the computer. I connected a new firewire from the computer to my DV deck, restarted the computer, but it keeps happening.
Is it that the dramatic change in color, light and compostion crowding out the audios ability to follow the video through the wire?
I'm completely stumped. The next step will be to open the computer and try to blow any excess dust out. I do this periodically anyway, and my last time was two months ago, so I'd be surprised if it works.
Maybe the G4 with 2G processing power can no longer handle the program, but it shows no sign of stuggle in any other way.
My clients are starting to grow restless.

Thank you so much X & Paul, for your suggestions. Although they didn't solve the problem, they kept me hopeful enough to continue my quest for an answer. After exhausting all effort to find the problem in the audio, I decided to focus on the video. So, I tried correcting the excess luma on the consolidated QT movie, and suddenly the problem was fixed. Because of the different levels of correction I'd need for each and every cut in the original sequence, and the precious time it would take, I'd planned to save it for the color correction stage, a mere 2 weeks away. I remembered how illegal white would often cause the image on some monitors, specifically consumer TVs, to waver for a second. But this was happening all the way back to the DV deck's audio meter, so I never expected it to be a luma issue.
I assume that the outdating capacity of my G4 played a part, but I wanted to write back with my thanks, and to impart my illuminated wisdom to the next perplexed soul.
Thanks again,

My internet speed keeps to be occupied when streaming video and closing the broswer!!

My internet speed is fully occupied when streaming a video and going to different points in it (walking through it) then close the tab the speed still occupied even if I close the broswer !!!! (also tried on firefox and chrome), Iam running fresh installation of windows 8.1 enterprise (updated) and my browser versions "firefox 29, chrome 34.0.1847.131m" and flash player 13,0,0,206 and only way till now to stop this is to disable and then re-enable connection from network and sharing center in windows . what's wrong! what should I do?

What you NEED to understand is that Flash Player is ONLY a plug-in for your browser.
It ONLY functions when there is Flash content in a page and ONLY when that content is called into play by a user action (you clicked Play or visited a page where the content was set to "auto play").
If your system is downloading data AFTER you've closed the browser (and subsequently terminated the plug-in), whatever is causing that download is OUTSIDE of your browser and OUTSIDE of Flash Player.
Think of it this way. You have a Blu-Ray movie playing and suddenly... there's a loud screeching sound coming from your stereo. So you stop the movie - the sound continues. You eject the BR disc - the sound continues. You disconnect the BR player - the sound continues. You turn the TV off - the sound continues. You disconnect the TV from the stereo - the sound continues. The sound CANNOT be coming from a source that is completely disabled. Flash player is like the BR Player, your browser like the TV. The data download is like the annoying sound. Something in your OS... be it a setting or even malware... is causing the download of data because a terminated browser and a terminated plug-in cannot cause it.

Playbook shuts down after a few mintutes when streaming Video.. how can I fix this?

Hi There, new to this forum as I just purchased the Playbook 32GB. I really like this tablet and bought the micro HDMI cable so I could hook it up to my 1080p TV. Anyway, we're streaming video on the browser and after a few mintutes the Playbook screen starts to flicker and then turns black and disconnects from my wi-fi connection.
This is quite frustrating as we like the idea of streaming movies and dramas off the tablet to our TV and being able to enjoy it witout the tablet shutting down. I understand the shut down mode is to conserve the battery's power, but this even happens when the unit is plugged in. I understand this also happens when you download things for more than 5 mintutes as well as listen to music for longer then 5 mintutes the Playbook auto shutdowns.
Can this be resolved with an ap or software upgrade provided by BlackBerry? Any suggestions on how to fix this is much appreciated!
Thanks!!!

i have not tried to stream nor do i have an account to try. my vids on playbook do play for hours though.

MacBook shuts down when streaming video

I use safari, so my assumption is the problem lies there. I did a software update in January along with upgrading to snow leopard but this problem has been happening since before then.
Its only a few years old and the only thig that's wrong with it is the battery is dead and needs replaced but I have my charger plugged in 24/7. would that have anything to do with streaming video?
Has this ever happened to anyone?

I've found that the computer only shuts down when streaming netflix.
I can play videos on youtube or vimeo long periods of time without the computer crashing.
When streaming netflix, the computer turns off within 5 minutes or less usually.
I have the newest version of silverlight installed and older versions deleted from my hd.
Does this information point to another or more specific problem?
Have others experienced a similar issue with regard to netflix or silverlight?

Macbook pro - freezes when streaming video

my macbook pro ( mid 2009) - 8 GB RAM and maverick OS - freezes whenever i stream video in it .. it doesnot happen immediately but after 15-30 min
i need to hardboot it afte that .. then comes the funny part .. when i reboot usually i get the dreaded "flashing" question mark
so i need to do this to get back on track
1. reboot by pressing the "option" key and select the disk to boot from
2. then reboot again by pressing "command" + "option" + P + R - ( reset PRAM )
now voila back in business
this happened 2-3 times in the last 1 week
please dont tell me i need to change the logic board :-)
unless otherwise i stream video, i dont have any issues
( infact only 2 weeks back genius bar ran a hardware test when i took for RAM upgrade and found everything is ok )
thanks in advance
regards

The startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to acces the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
