Intermittent Sound Dropping When Streaming Audio

I've just step up my new Apple TV and streaming from my shared iTunes library over wireless network is great.. However when I stream using airplay on my iPad 3 or iPhone 5 the sound drops intermittently, as if the signal wasn't getting through, if you know what I mean! sometimes drops altogether and airplay on the device seems to switch off.
I can't see any settings that I could change even if I wanted to (or knew what to!) and it seems strange that it works fine from the pc but not from the other Apple products.
The wireless signal is obviously ok, or could it be the wireless bits n the iPhone/Pad are not as good as in the pc? Clutching at straws a bit here, hope someone out there can help.
Thanks.

Thanks for posting this because I too have the Pioneer VSX-1019AH and have just noticed this problem. I rarely listen to my iphone (ipod) through my receiver and this problem never occured before until yesterday.
I am experiencing a sound loss at random times, and it takes restarting the receiver, or disconnecting then reconnecting the iphone cable to get the sound back again, only for it to go off again in a few moments time.
Whilst the sound is off, both the iphone and receiver are continuing to play music because you can see the title of the tracks change on both devices. So where the fault lies is hard to tell but I'd say it's with the ios4.
I don't know whether Apple will provide any support regarding this problem but I do notice the receiver has been endorsed "made for ipod" which means it meets Apple performance standards.

Clicking sound when streaming audio in Safari

hello,
has anybody ever experienced a clicking sound when streaming audio over the internet? i have no idea where to begin to fix this problem.
amber

Dear Amber,
I am experiencing the same problem on my iMac G5 when I am streaming movies from ANY browser AND when I watch trailers on Front Row.
I think the QuickTime plugin has a problem streaming audio while the movie downloads, especially when the file is large (as in the case of Front Row streaming movies, where the files are all HD).
If other applications are open concurrently, the problem is even more noticeable, because QuickTime 7 consumes a lot of resources and if you do not have enough RAM (and 512 MB does not seem to be enough with OS X 10.4.4) it will strive to perform.
You may check how much memory is used by your computer by opening the Acivity Monitor utility.
I hope Apple will become aware of the problem and suggest a workaround, because otherwise QT 7 is exceptional.
Ciao,
Alessandro

AirPlay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV intermittent sound drop-off

I can't stream iTunes or Spotify to my Apple TV without getting intermittent sound drop-out (say every 30 seconds) when I use AirPlay mirroring through my Mac. This odd thing is streaming through my iPad or IPhone to Apple TV is perfectly fine; so is using my Mac to stream to my Sonos speakers. I can even stream iTunes pefectly fine through only the Apple TV alone - so it's nothing to do with my broadband connection
I have today performed upgrades to the Apple TV and my Airport Express firmware but the problem persists. Anyone else experiencing this or found a solution?

Hi, same here for me. Using AirPlay for streaming music from my Mac Mini (iTunes latest version) to my ATV2 (software latest version) has intermittent drop-outs (about every 10 to 15 sec for 5 to 10 sec). At the same time streaming to my Airport Express station in the kitchen works fine. Using the VOX player streaming from the Mac to the ATV works fine, only that I can only stream to one destination. Tried streaming from iTunes to ATV only, the problem remains. Streaming video - even HD - works fine. Using the ATV to select music from my Mac's iTunes library works fine, too. Still I want to stream from my iTunes on the Mac to several destiations including the ATV. Seems to me to be a problem of iTunes. I think the effect appeared after an update of iTunes or OSX, because it had worked fine before, already.

Sound dropping when iPod connected to stereo - iOS 4.1

Why is the sound dropping when watching videos from the iPod when connected to a TV?
I have a Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K AV receiver with this nice setup (cable and functionality) that lets me watch videos on my TV with the iPod connected to the AVR (USB + composite video cable). The result is not bad, with better video than audio.
HOWEVER after upgrading to iOS 4.1 the sound (not picture) is dropping after various intervals of time (1 - 20 minutes) while plugged into the AVR. When I unplug the connection the video stops and the iPod goes back to the menu. The audio plays normally when restarting the video without the cable and continues to play normally when I plug the AVR cable back into the iPod. On occassions when plugging the AVR's cable into the iPod the sound does not come back, though unpluggin and plugging in again usually does it.
Anyone else have similar issues? I see some issues with apps and battery life under iOS4.1 and a few issues with audio / picture playback:

Have people had similar problems when iPods are connected to AVRs or TVs through composite or component cables? I realize the quality of sound / pictures from the iPod is not superb though it is as good as my sattelite dish. I could just have a computer connected to the AVR via HDMI or similar but well that would mean having a computer just for iTunes.

Music drops when streaming to airport express

music drops when streaming to airport express

Welcome to the discussions forum divonka.
I realize those documents refer to OS X, but I'd suggest your problem is similar. Try disabling your Windows firewall. If that works, find a way to open UDP port 5353 as explained in this document. Hope it helps!

Try and change the Wi-Fi channel.

Dropping out when streaming audio from itunes

Hi
I have just installed an AE. Set it up with latest utility release
(16 December 2010) which updated firmware on AE.
Problem is streaming audio from iTunes from PC running XP
to my stereo it keeps dropping out about every 10.
However streaming audio from my iphone4 is ok no drop out.
Any advice please?
One supplementary the audio quality of music streamed from the
PC seems to be slightly better than from the iPhone. Is this the
Case and if so why?
Thanks

Unwanted synchronization when streaming audio&video

hi,
i'm streaming audio and video, both of which are created with separate Processors. i'm playing them back on the client's side with separate players on separate ports. despite all this, when i pause the audio, the video pauses too!
any suggestions?
Thanks in advance :O)

This is suposed to happen if the streams received have the same CName. I guess if you are able to send two different streams with 2 different CNames they won't synchronize. But I still don't know how to do that... :)
Also, less useful but still a fact, if you receive the streams in two different VM's that won't happen either... :)

No sound when streaming audio through USB to car stereo *solved*

Short version: Many months ago my wife and I had iPhone 4s with AT&T and my phone would playing streaming apps (Pandora, Slacker) over USB to my Pioneer head unit and my Ford SYNC while my wife's would not. There was no error given, it appeared to be playing fine-- there would just be no sound.
Fast forward to present and I have a Verizon iPhone 4 and I am getting the same issues as my wife was having previously.
After much forum reading about iOS4 breaking this functionality for many people across the globe with many makes and models of stereos and cars I realized I was not getting the same error as all of these people. I was getting NO error at all; I just wasn't getting any sound out of these apps.
I read a post about how a random song would kick on when they connected their phone to the car, then it hit me. My old iPhone used to do that. Then THIS hit me. I do not have any mp3s synced to this phone. Nor did my wife back then. So I threw a handful of songs onto my iPhone and sure enough it immediately chose a song at random, started playing it and then I switched to Slacker radio and it faded down the iPod song and started streaming the audio from Slacker.
tl;dr version: If streaming apps are not playing any sound through your USB cable. Make sure you have some songs synced to your iPhone.

I found a solution, reset all settings. Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
Fixed the problem, now back to properly streaming music!

How do i get my sound back when the audio jack is trapped and prevents soun

my macbook dropped on the floor and there was a wire linking the laptop to speakers. however a piece of wire from this lead was stuck in the macbook making the computer think that there is an audio out when there isn't.
without having to change the whole motherboard at £500 can someone suggest another was to make a seperate audio output considering one output is broken
any suggestions would be really appreciated!
thanks

Getting a Griffin iMic would work. It's a USB input/output device and you can use it as your audio out.

Click sound heard when clip audio is at 0

I am using iMovie 9.0.4. I have several video clips in my movie, with audio from a .aiff file througout. The video clips I am using have audio, but I don't want to hear it, so it set it to zero for each one. But with video clips with especially loud audio, even when set to zero, I hear a click sound when they start, as it it is late by 5ms in attenutating the audio to zero.

Wifi dropping while streaming audio/video through Bluetooth

Hey everyone, so I have been having a problem recently.
I recently gotten a bluetooth headset. It is a BlueAnt Q1. I've updated it to the most current firmware, and otherwise have had no problems with it.
The last few weeks I have been noticing the Pre's wifi dropping out while I am listening or watching a internet stream with my Blueant Q1 connected. The stream stops, and either Stitcher/Pandora/Mediafly reports an error of some sort. The only reason I know its wifi is because I tested it. Watching intently until I see the problem crop up. The phones wifi drops down to 0 bars, then that little icon with three dots might show up as it reconnects. I've tested it on two of my routers, one of which is a wireless bridge. This happens on both. I've had my phone for I think 6 months now and never had problems with wifi or streaming content before I started using bluetooth.
Here are some specs and equipment I use.
Palm Pre Plus (Verizon)
BlueAnt Q1
Two Asus Wireless Routers, one acting as a wireless bridge
(Problem happens on both)
Asus WL-520gU (DD-WRT)
Asus WL-520gC (Wireless Bridge, DD-WRT)
Everything is upto date on firmware and upgrades. Also when this problem arised, I haven't had any changes in firmware/program versions to upgrade before or since I've gotten the bluetooth headset. Other than upgrading the headset to the current firmware.
The thing is, I don't remember this happening the first week or so using my bluetooth headset.
Any advice? Or perhaps this might be a known problem? Any help would be appriciated, thanks!

I posted too soon. Apparently its my two current routers dd-wrt firmware that caused the problem. Used an old non-ddwrt router and it was fine. Changed to a different version on both my current routers and seems to work fine. Odd but I'm not complaining.

HT5517 How can I adjust sound level when streaming radio from my Apple TV through Airplay speakers?

I have a 2nd Gen Apple TV with an airport express set up as airplay speakers. I can stream the new radio through using the Airplay speakers pretty well. The problem is that once I've got it going, I cannot adjust the sound level without laboriously backing out of the radio menu, going back to the top level menu then drilling down into the Airplay settings to raise or lower the speaker's sound level.
Is there an easier way to do this?

go to system preferences > Sound > Output. then change the output from "built-in" to HDMI.

Intermittent Sound Loss (SFX & Audio)

Hi gang, I have an odd problem with intermittent sound loss (button SFX + audio) on my brand new ATV2 (HDMI to HDMI on a 2 year old Phillips 42"). The picture is great, but the audio only works about 50% of the time. (?!) I'm totally stumped. I did some troubleshooting. Restart, Reset, Restore. No dice. I swapped the cable and tried different HDMI ports — to no avail. I also spent an hour on the phone with an Apple tech. We did everything again and we turned off Dolby, etc. No dice. He suggested I bring the device into the Apple store, and they swapped it out for me. But I'm having the same problem with the new device — and AGAIN only 50% of the time. It seems totally arbitrary. Very frustrating. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Did you try restarting your TV, the problem may be there.
(I have a tv that starts to drop audio occasionally, although a restart of the tv will resolve the matter it does return perhaps weeks/months later)

Bug: OS 4.5 Media Player does not allow BB screen to shut off when playing streaming audio

I updated my Verizon Pearl 8130 to OS 4.5. Now, when streaming audio from a station such as "Groove Salad" at http://www.somafm.com, the screen does not shut off but stays on indefinitely, wasting precious battery power. OS 4.3 Media Player did allow the screen to turn off when streaming audio.
- Bill

I have a similar issue since upgrading to to 4.5 with my vzw 8130. with 4.3 I was able to stream audio and then have it run in the background to read messages or address book for example all the while the audio was still playing. Now once I get the audio streaming and back out to the main menu the media player quits.
