ITunes scratchy he||...with audio drop outs

I use iTunes v7.4.2 all the time to play music. Only lately my iTunes has been sounding very intermittently scratchy (static-y) and the audio drops out (without the diamond moving) at unexpected intervals (anywhere from 10 sec to several minutes). When I try to hit the volume buttons, I don't get any feedback sounds like usual. Waiting it out seems to be the only remedy...then it comes back again, and again...
I use MenuMeters to monitor my CPU and bandwidth speed and so I notice that this happens most when I am downloading torrents. Very frustrating! Curiously, I tried running a bootable clone of my system on a separate drive and I found that the problem went away (I'd have to run it for longer to be sure though). Could this be a sign of imminent hard drive failure?
Has anyone else experienced these issues? Does it sound like a hardware or software issue?
Thanks for any replies,
-Bill

  • Audio drops out when scrolling playlists after upgrading new version of 9.2

    Hi Folks,
    Has anyone noticed an issue when scrolling the playlists in Itunes now that the audio drops out for a second.
    I use an external USB audio device by Native Instruments called the Audio Kontrol 1.
    I have watched the processes on my PC and when I scroll up and down on the playlist. Something spikes causing audio to not play for a second.
    I am hoping to fix this somehow as I do not want to roll back (not even sure if you can). I also have heard with dual core processors that occasionally audio can get stopped as other processes take over where in single core processors everything cued up (any truth to that).
    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

    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,

  • Is itunes 8 fixed (audio drop out)?

    itunes plays fine for a number of tracks and then the audio drops out completely at the beginning of a new song despite the interface appearing to be playing as normal.
    This was the major pain - even though it only took a pause and restart to get the audio back - it happened so frequently. I should point out that this may be related to my airport Express network, but it went silent on both my external speakers and my computer.
    I found a number of posts outlining the same problem but no solutions that worked apart from one great one (sorry, can't find it now) which confirmed it was a problem with itunes 8. True enough, after exhausting every other avenue, i have reverted to itunes 7 and the problem has disappeared.
    The problem is that I have lost many other upgraded features so can anyone advise me as soon as this issue is resolved in a more up-to-date version of itunes so I can upgrade without the problem returning.

    Unfortunately, this is a known problem which Apple seems to be brushing under the carpet. Communication problems using Airtunes has been affecting a lot of users here. Try following the procedure outlines in the sticky of this forum entitled ' Solutions for AirTunes Issues in iTunes 8', and hope for the best. If that doesn't work, I guess you're in the same boat as the rest of us, and will have to wait till Apple sorts out this problem.

  • Audio drop-out in FCPX with 1920x1080 & 2048x1240p @ 24p (codec Apple ProRes 4444 (Linear PCM))24p

    Hi all...
    I'm new to this forum.
    Is there an audio issue (drop-outs) with FCPX (ver 10.1.2) for 1920x1080 24p, 1080p HD & 2048x1240 24p (2k) - note: films in FCPX are in codec Apple ProRes 4444, Linear PCM?
    Very recently I've been working on a show reel and I have imported a file (short film) to snip out a section to add to the show reel. 
    I set the project to the film's settings i.e.. "set based on first video clip"...(1920x1080 24p, 1080p HD).  When I play the film in FCPX the audio "hic-cups"..."dips to silence"..."drops-out" briefly (up to 0.5 secs in duration) and very frequently all the way through (approx 15 mins long film)...note: audio set is at stereo 48kHz. The audio monitors on the right hand side also show the dip taking place (if it's a long enough drop-out).
    I also have a version of the film in 2048x1240 24p at 2k, again Stereo 48kHz...and this does the same audio "drop-out" all the way through.  I'm unsure what other formats will create this problem i.e. higher or lower aspect ratios than those above.
    Is this a software and/or OS issue?  Or a hardware issue?  Or both!?
    About This iMac details:
    iMac 27 inch: OS X ver 10.9.4
    Processor: 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB
    Fusion Drive 3.12 TB
    Final Cut Pro X was bought & installed with this iMac back in Feb 2014
    FCPX version: 10.1.2
    Note also:  I used Compressor (ver 4.1.2) to convert the files (movies) above to Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Linear PCM and the issue disappeared - the audio and visuals played with no problems.  All films play with no issue when opened in QT player.  They are also fine when exporting from FCPX.  The issue only occurs (as far as I can tell) within FCPX when editing or playing the audio there.
    Has anyone encountered this problem?
    Kind Regards,
    Hakan

    Hi Luis,
    Thank you for that.
    Seems like you have a point about the "hardware" issue.  I'm unsure (new to it all) at what data rate my (er...wonderful) fusion drive provides FCPX for smooth playback - or where I can find that info on the iMac.  Playing back movies in the 422 HQ codec seems to have no issues (when I converted the movie from 4444 HQ). 
    But playing the full 4444 HQ, the picture is smooth, but the audio has these drop-outs - even with "best performance" option ticked. Interesting that the audio suffers, not the picture in FCPX - so not sure what's going on there. I also read - perhaps - that to play a smooth ProRes 4444 HQ movie in FCPX the data rate should be min of 500 Mbs (based upon About Apple ProRes) for HD movies and up (i.e. 2k).  ProRes 422 HQ needs a data rate of 220 Mbs - so that is my upper-limit to smooth video&audio playback with the current system I have, I guess.
    Does anyone recommend a fast USB3 or Thunderbolt drive (500Mbs+) where I am able to run 4444HQ movies with no issues to picture or sound (away from the fusion drive)?

  • Static and audio drops out

    I am not sure if I am in the right Discussion area. If not, please advise where to post. After having work done (new mother board and power supply) on my iMac I heard a static or scratchy noise in the lower right side behind my screen while listening to iTunes the week after I got the machine back. Some songs(with more treble) were worse than others. My parents and I iChat every Sunday. The static now interferes with our iChats and the audio drops out and then will come back. They hear it more on their end than I do on mine. I tried turning the speakers way over to the left and that did help some when listening to iTunes, hulu but, not the iChat problem. My question is - do you suppose it is my speakers rather than another issue such as bandwidth or setting elsewhere? And if I were to buy external speakers would those then just amplify the existing issue? The computer on the other end is an iMac running snow leopard. Could it be that the microphone wasn't put back in correctly during my last repair?

    Hi paperchase
    That kind of sounds like the right internal speaker is bad or loose and the Internal Mic is picking up on the noise from it.
    One thing to try before committing to a 2.0 or 2.1 External Speaker System, is to test the iMac's external output sound with iPod buds or a set of headphones. That at least will give you a better idea if the problem is with the right internal speaker or something worse like the sound card.
    Likewise if the repair work was recent, then perhaps you should contact the service provider and report that it came back with an intermittent or rattling right speaker.

  • Video & Audio Drop Outs on Macbook Pro

    I have a MacBook Pro with Version 10.7.3, 6 months old. Just recently when I play video, regardless of whether it's in iTunes, iMovie, or embedded in Keynote the video sticks, audio drops out for 1 -2 seconds or the shot freezes. What causes this and how is it fixed.

    I apologize for the audio drop outs. I have sent you a private message to get account information from you so we can reprogram your boxes.

  • Audio Drop Out

    No matter how many minutes of audio or photos (believe me I tried from 2 minutes to 25 minutes of audio and 10-150 photos) that I use in DVD 6, the audio drops out for 3 seconds, always about 1 minute before the finale. Is anyone having the same problem.
    I tried magic slideshow, all combinations and still...audio drops out.
    When I used the 99 photo limit with the fit to audio minutes, nothing like this happened.
    If there is a fix, please let me know.
    Thank You all

    Welcome to discussions, Bob:)
    What is the source of the audio where the drop-out occurs? Purchased iTunes?
    If so, burn the audio to an audio CD and import from that.
    Also, how much free space do you have on the iBook?

  • 'Optical out' audio drop out on Mac Book Pro

    This is driving me INSANE!
    First of all I'll give you my mac book pro details:
    Mid/late 2010 MBP 2.66 i7 with 8GB RAM, on snow leopard 10.6.8
    Here's the problem. Basically, my audio keeps dropping out. Upon a bit of research I can see the output device is switching from 'internal speakers - built in' to 'digital out - optical digital-out port'. I didn't even know my mac book pro had an optical digital output, as it doesn't appear there is one. However there's a red light that goes off and on, or sometimes flashes, more or less in unison with the drop outs and the switching of the output device. This also shows as when I try to adjust the volume, it doesn't let me and shows the sign with a line through it, as if I was using an external soundcard. It is incredibly frustrating as I can't do simple things such as watch a youtube video or play music on itunes.
    Sometimes if I go from not using my mac, e.g. over night, then open it up and play itunes it will be fine. However when I open safari and start browsing or playing things via youtube the problem does seem to get worst. It also seems to cause my mac to freeze up a bit, I'm guessing as it's trying to switch devices.
    I don't really know what to do, searching online hasn't really yielded anything useful.
    Thanks, Christian.

  • Audio drop out after burning to iDVD

    I am running FCE 2 and checked all of my audio (mixed it down and everything). Plays well when I run FCE. When I burn the clips to iDVD, I notice that the audio drops out in certain scenes, and it's the same scenes. Ruined 5 dvds so far after trying to a few things.
    I am using all internal HDs (Extended Journaled). Any suggested would be appreciated. Thanks

    Hi
    a. Audio from iTunes - has to be used by a work around
    I do - create a Playlist in iTunes with needed audio
    Burn out as an Audio-CD (.aiff) Not .mp3
    Use this audio in Your FinalCut project
    b. I do from FCE/P to iDVD
    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Not selfcontained (not important but saves time and space)
    • NO QUICKTIME Conversion (Important)
    c. To get iDVD to run OK
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk ! (others of no importance)
    • I use Verbatim DVDs
    • DVD-R
    • Burn speed set down to x4 or x1 (only relevant to newer iDVD)
    (Instead download the Hack (Hurz and Pfurz) that makes it possibly to do a DiskImage with iDVD4
    if earlier iDVD versions - forget this
    then save as a DiskImage - test it with DVD-player tool and see that it runns OK
    THEN do the actual DVD burn by using Disk Util tool from this DVD image You just did.
    AND Here You can set down burn speed to x4 or x1.
    • iDVD 4 disc image burning can be enabled through the patch Hurz and Pfurz - search the net.
    Good luck Yours Bengt W

  • Audio drops out for a second at the start of the song

    I have an 8gb Black Nano 3g. My first time syncing I added songs, video, and photos.
    The problem I am having is after selecting a song through cover flow the song will start playing and around the 17 second mark in the song the audio drops for a second then it comes back on and continues playing. At first I thought it was the song file, but it was happening to multiple songs. I also verified the tracks on my computer were fine.
    I updated the firmware and Restored the iPod software.
    Since my iPod had all of my media wiped out I added back only music and tested it. It worked perfectly, no more audio drops. I listened to it all day just fine. Last night I added some new video clips and photos. Audio drop out problem has now returned.
    After work I am going to remove the video files and test it again.
    Has anyone else noticed this issue?

    Yes I have the same problem, actually I'm guessing everyone has the same issue but everyone hasn't realized yet. Problem occurs just after the the backlight turns off.
    After many hours of troubleshooting, I realized the cause is syncing photos.
    Tried resetting iPod & and restoring many times, tried different computers (with different new test iTunes/iPhoto libraries), problem occurs with both iLife 2006 & iLife 2008.
    Took back to Apple Ginza store in Tokyo for testing and a different iPod nano 8GB 3G has the same issue. Staff believed it was a firmware issue and filed a report. A few days later 1.0.1 firmware was released but still didn't fix the issue.
    I have yet to file a bug report with Apple myself.
    My screen also seems to be rotated about 1mm.

  • AntiVir Guard responsible for audio drop outs?!

    Hi,
    after an intensive testing session with my Dell Inspiron 9300, Zyxel Prestige and AE 6.1.1 - 6.3 with WPA I went back to unsecure WEP and AE 6.2.
    Everything works again without dropping AE due WPA authorization problems. But I still got audio drop outs.
    A half an hour ago I turned off the AntiVir Guard. Since that Airtunes seems to run fine. Interesting.
    Probably I will do a WPA session again to figure out if AntiVir was the main reason. But first I let run iTunes a few hours to get sure.
    president

    Hmmm ... AirTunes runs better now, but I still have some drop outs. Could also be channel related?!
    At the end I come to the conclusion: Apple should work on that.
    I'll give up and will live with some drop outs till then.

  • HELP! Audio Drops Out When Trying to Capture Canon XL2 Footage

    Please help me out here. I'm a freelance camera operator w/ a Canon XL2 and several times now I've gotten calls from the editors saying they're having problems logging my footage, mainly the audio drops out quite a bit, and I'm not talking bout one second for every 2 or 3 minutes. No. It's like every 10 seconds the audio drops in and out.
    What's the deal? Two times the guy was using a Panasonic DVX-100A to capture, another time it was a SONY DSR mini-DV deck. With each incident I had to go over with my XL2 and use it as the capture device, which is a pain.
    The program they're using is FCP HD or 5. But I think even when they just play the tape in their Sony or Pany cameras, the audio may still suck.
    Help me out here, I can't be the only one with this problem.
    Thanks.
    -R

    Well Robert Swanson, I hope my post wasn't taken offensively, it certainly wasn't meant as such. The only Canon camcorder I owned was the GL1. After switching to Sony's I can honestly say it would take something significant to go back. And, I was merely relating my experiences in trying to capture from other Canon camcorders so that I know where you are coming from. However, I am interested in the HVX being the "noisest" camera on the market. I am seriously considering this camera and would be interested in a review that points this out. I would be using the hard drive recorder instead of P2 cards.

  • 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.

  • IDVD '08 Slideshow Audio Drop Out

    Hi
    I've recently upgraded to IDVD '08 & produced a slideshow of 301 pictures with music. I get a moments audio drop out at each 100th picture. I know this to be a problem when the disc is played on a DVD player, but not on a computer. I had hoped that by upgrading to IDVD '08 the problem would have been eliminated. Can anyone advise if there is a way of solving this issue, other than producing separate slideshows of 99 picture & less.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    The behavior you described above is actually normal for iDvd for anything over 99 images per slideshow. Not much you can do about it short of creating multiple slideshows as you mentioned above. That or making your slideshow as one long QT movie but you may notice a quality loss.
    Or you can try a few other apps like:
    http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/overview/
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    Roxio Toast has a slideshow option as well. You might want to look into this.
    DVDSP might give you slightly better results but then again it's much more money and takes weeks/months to learn as opposed to a few hours / days.

  • Brief audio drop out

    Quick question,
    I was looping something in garageband tonight.
    The loop was going on nonstop for about an hour, as I played along with it.
    2 tracks. System was not overloaded or anything. (Macbook Pro i7 + ULN-2)
    The problem:
    No problem up until 1 hour of playing and then all of a sudden *"no sound"* for a brief second, and then, back on.
    It's almost as if the system "hung" or Garageband for that matter.
    This got me quite puzzled and angry, because IF I'd be recording the take, it would of been clearly botched.
    I took a quick look in console a second after it happened and noticed errors, such as the ones I've posted below.

    *Are these errors associated with something that could cause a pause in audio briefly?*
    *Does anybody know why this would even happen?*
    Thanks

    Interesting,
    I've had airport disabled from the start. But I was connected to the net while using GB '09.
    I'm guessing its a Snow Leopard flaw, since the new system and new update is littered with bugs. I had no sound at all after updating to 10.6.7. These issues weren't present on Leopard.
    Lots of errors in console aswell. No idea what the watchdog errors mean either for garageband, just that they coincided with the drop out.
