Intermittent sound problems Yamaha AV receiver and Brighthouse cable

I have a Yamaha RX-V655 AV receiver connected to a Brighthouse cable DVR. The DVR is a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD unit. I am using a HDMI cable from the DVR to the receiver and a HDMI cable from the receiver to a Sony Bravia TV. This system works good most of the time. However on occasion I lose sound, all sound. The only way I found to fix this problem is to turn off all the units (DVR, receiver, tv etc) and then turn them back on. Any ideas as to way this happens? Any fixes?

I just received this from Brighthouse:
 "We sincerely apologize for any difficulties you have encountered but at
this time we have no further information regarding the conflict that the
HD cable boxes are having with the HDMI cables. We are currently aware
of an issue on some of our HD converters, and are working to resolve the
issue as quickly as possible. "
So they know about it, but can't fix it.
Let's go ahead and try some alternate audio connections. Optical/Coax digital first, then analog RCAs as a last resort.

    My 27" iMac (mid-2011, 2.7 i5, 16g RAM) has had intermittent sound problems (circle with slash) since I upgraded to 10.9.1.  I've reset the PRAM, used Disk Utility on the file permissions, tried Audio Midi, and sound prefs steadfastly refuses to use the internal speakers.

    Did you install the latest driver set for the device?  there is a new release on motu.com for mavericks.

    Hi!
    I am also facing this problem with my K8N NEO4 Platinum Ultra.
    I have even tested my PC with a PSU which is having -5v in it's rating.
    I have also requested a help from MSI Support.
    Their & My reply is as follows.
    But still my problem could not be solved.  My sound card as per the OS works fine and produces output.  But no audible output for humans to hear.
    This is the case with both front and rear panels.
    I have even sent the MB for RMA but here in India, people are fools.  Even from RMA the board was shipped back in the same faulty condition.  What to say?  Whom to curse?  Only money and 20days were spent waiting for repair and in wain.
    If any body can help it will be very nice.
    Here is my reply to MSI:
    My K8n Neo4 Platinum Ultra - earlier was giving good quality sound output. Later after 15 days of using this board, it does not give any audible sound at all. But through headphone socket of cd player I am able to receive good quality sound.
    And also while using CD Player to play audio tracks, the output is very intermitent and feeble with lots of cracking noise and poor quality audio is heard.
    Through Windows Media Player no sound is heard at all.
    I reinstalled win2000/Win2000Server/Win2003 XP Server. In all the platform sound problem exists. Any solutions?
    My PSU has 20amps in +12V rail and has no -5v. 24 pin adaptor with 400W.
    SATA HDD 80GB WD. 256*2=512mb DDR 400 Ram.
    CPU AMD 3000+ Winchester core.
    Thanks in advance.
    REPLY FROM MSI:
    Dear SoftWheels:
    Thank you for contacting MSI Technical Support.
    With regard to yoru concern, we would like to know before the onboard sound function abnormally, if you have made any adjustment to your system hardware or software?
    And at this time would you please try to un-install the sound driver in the Add or Remove Program, then install the ALC Series AC'97 Audio Drivers refer to the link below, after this please first check if in Device Manager there is any yellow mark.

    AGAIN MY RESPONSE TO MSI:
    Dear Sir,
    Thanks for your reply. But reply does not solve my problem. I have tried all that you said in your reply.
    I have done nothing to hardware. No electrical problems or burning.
    Due to no sound, I have even totally zero filled my SATA hard disk, updated bios, re-installed

  • Intermittent sound problems on MacBook Pro.

    I have for the last few months had this intemittent sound problem. The speaker greys out and the sound 'jumps' between speaker and internal sound. The little red light inside the headphone port comes on. This could last for a few minutes and then everything is fine again. It happens when I play DVD's as well. The sound goes and the DVD practically stops playing or the picture is slowed down and jerky. Usually after ejecting the DVD and inserting it again it sorts the problem out. It used to not happen very often but for the last two days it has happened at least 5 times. It happened during a presentation once and I need this to work. Any advice please.  I am worried it could be a hardware issue.

  • Sound problems encountered when copying and pasting

    Hi all,
    I've been running into a rapidly growing problem in Premiere Pro CS3.  I'm hoping someone can help.
    I've copied two clips -- both audio and video -- from two different Premiere Pro projects, but when I try to paste both clips into a third project, my audio files become badly screwy.  The sound completely drops out from one clip, and in the other, the sound speeds up, like an old record played at a high speed.  I have no idea what to do.
    My computer is a Dell Inspiron.  I've used the same load presets for all three projects: DV-NTSC Widescreen 48kHz.  I'm at a complete loss as to what's wrong.  Could someone give me a little insight?  Thanks everyone.

  • Intermittent sound problems with video

    I'm having a problem streaming audio to my IPad.  It seems to work intermittently when try to watch a video from a website e.g. NASAs climate website.  The Airply choices on the swipe screen at the bottom only includes two choices - "Apple TV" and  "Dock Connector".  I'm used to seeing "IPad" as one of the choices.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Intermittent Sound Problems

    I am having problems with sound dying on my front speakers on my iMac. Sometimes no sound on front speakers but all three headphone jacks work. Sound goes dead from front speakers on awake from sleep and sometimes after restart (no bong). Headphone jacks allways have signal when I check. Sometimes sound comes back after brief crackle!
    Have tried usual dodges of working speaker jack into ports to check for bad cutoff connection etc. Don't really want to crack case but.......
    Any help or advice greatfully recieved.

    I would first try Resetting the pram. However, because you are running OS X on your mac be sure to have upgraded the iMac's firmware first. if you don't have the latest iMac firmware upgrade and you reset the pram you could lose your video.

  • Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and iLife '11 causes sound problems in iTunes, iMovie, and Mail

    After updating my OS to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and installing iLife '11, the sound in iTunes, iMovie, and Mail does not work.  The sound in other programs like Skype does work, though. Any ideas?

    You should run software update. The current version os SL is 10.6.8, several bugs were squashed and improvements made.

  • Problems with Event Receiver and SkyDrive Pro Document library

    I wrote an event Receiver that implements the ItemUpdated (but the Synchronous one) event. I basically modify docx files content. When the library has versioning enabled, I first move the SPFile to a hidden library that does not have versioning, I update
    it, and then I move back to the original library to avoid creating a new version for this file.
    This works fine in the standard case (e.g. standard Document Library), but for Document Libraries that belong to SkyDrive then when I upload files using the SkyDrive Pro utility (that is, the utility that synchronizes files from "C:\Users\Administrator\SkyDrive
    Pro\Shared with Everyone" to the server) there in an error reported by the Upload Center since it seems that as the file content is modified in the server and is different than the local copy then it does not like this situation. If you open the file
    using the Upload Center then word asks you to keep the version in the server, or the version that is local.
    Any way to bypass this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    From the description, the issue seems to be that the event receiver fires in the SkyDrive library, but the SkyDrive folder where you met the error message isn't synchronized to the server.
    If so, this will be the default behavior, have you checked the workflow? You may consider copy the document to document library using workflow, update the document in the library using event receiver or workflow, then copy back to the SkyDrive
    library.
    If it isn't the issue, please feel free to let me know.
    Thanks,

  • HP G56 intermitte​nt sound problem - e.g you tube/MP3 files play for 10 seconds then stop.

    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.

  • Intermittant sound on HP Pavilion PC

    Can someone please help us?
    We have a HP Pavilion PC running Vista, our problem is that when the sound is turned on there is intermittant sound coming from both channels, and you are unable to understand anything coming out of the speakers.  But if you put a headphone jack in, there is only sound coming from the right channel.
    I have uninstalled the audio driver and reinstalled to hopefully correct the problem, but it continues to stay the same.  We have run out of ideas and hope someone can help.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59501-60000/sp5954​2.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

  • No sound out of left speaker, and right speaker is extremely quiet

    Hello,
    I have an HP Pavilion DV5 Laptop.  I'm having issues with my speakers, and am looking for help. My speaker on the left won't play anything, and the one on the right is annoyingly quiet. When I plug in headphones they work perfectly fine.

    Hi Wumbo-Wizzard,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!   I understand that you are having a problem with the sound coming out when you connect the speakers. I will try my best to help you with this issue. To better guide you, could you please give me the model number of your notebook and the operating system that you are running on it. Here is a guide for How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    In this document for Troubleshooting Sound Problems with External Speakers and Headsets in Windows 7 are steps that may resolve this issue.
    I hope this information helps, please let me know.

  • Sound problems with Portege M600 using WXP SP3

    I have had on-going sound problems with my laptop and feel so frustrated - please help!
    I have downloaded the sound driver (abt a million times - and tried uninstalling then reinstalling) - and repeatedly get no volume icon on the desk top and a message saying "no sound driver can be found".
    I did manage to fix it once - when i had WIndows Vista installed - by finding some obscure patch - but this time around - no solutions.
    Can anyone help - it is so frustrating!!!!

    The mentioned patches are part of Win XP SP2 & SP3
    So ensure that all service packs are installed.
    Then go to device manager and delete the High Definition Audio Controller (in system devices) and additionally delete all devices from Audio, Video and Game controller section.
    Then reboot the notebook.
    Wait until the device would be recognized again and then install the sound driver!

  • E7-00 Intermittent email problem

    The email on my E7-00 works for a couple of days, then is out for a day then comes back and so on... I am not using Nokia Ovi email and I only have one email account. It is not very likely it is an operator problem as the email flows without problems to my PC all the time and this has been going on for two weeks. I have already erased the email account and set it up again but it does not help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The problem was both receiving and sending. I  t h i n k  (hope) the problem is now solved. It appears, that when you create an email account other than the Nokia Ovi email you should refuse to accept the standard conditions and then the phone is freer to adopt the settings belonging to the account you are setting up. At least now it has been working for 48 hours.
    Incidentally, the Instructions for Use (128 pages downloadable from the Nokia web site) do not tell you how to erase the email account, nor do they tell you how to find the folders in your email account. You just have to press various buttons long and see what happens...This is not a learning process all consumers are prepared to live with...
