Keyboard sound issue / camera overheats a bit faster once again after 5.1.1

Let us know when you do

i dunno i think there is an issue with the keyboard sound. Like for example when you type "Hello" supposedly you will hear 5 clicks right!? but for some reason you will only hear 4. Its like the phone is having hard time catching up on what you are typing. Its not synchronize. Also camera overheat a bit faster again. not happening with the previous version done hard reset and reupdate using pc companion still the same.

Intermittent keyboard and trackpad freezes in 10.5.2 (not again!)

Hi all,
I'm having a major issue with my MacBook Pro built-in keyboard and trackpad. This issue is incredibly reminiscent of the previous widespread keyboard/trackpad freeze problems, documented in a number of threads, such as here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5860606
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1196400

What's special about this case is that these issues began very recently, well after I installed Mac OS X 10.5.2, which I recall is supposed to provide a fix for exactly this issue. I've never had a problem with this MacBook Pro notebook before, so this is incredibly unnerving.
The issue is frustratingly intermittent, but frequent. Sometimes the entire keyboard and trackpad locks up (freezes) and won't acknowledge any input whatsoever. Other times the keyboard and/or trackpad appear to get "choppy", sometimes the keyboard will miss a key causing a typo while typing or the trackpad will suddenly stop moving the cursor. Other times the keyboard will repeat keys by accident, causing maaaaajor typos (kind of like that).
What's really weird is that I'm seeing the floating "eject" bezel appear (the symbol that you see when you hit the keyboard's eject button) very frequently, when my fingers are nowhere near that key and I'm sure it's not pressed. This even happens sometimes when I'm not using the keyboard at all, just the trackpad (most often while scrolling with the two fingers gesture).
I've troubleshot this in a number ways. Here is one such troubleshooting session's activity log that I kept while performing the troubleshooting:

MacBook Pro Keyboard Freeze problems troubleshooting log
* Symptoms are a frozen keyboard and trackpad, that is, no input being recognized by the keyboard or trackpad. Not even the light of the caps lock key lights up when the issue is present.
* Restarted computer. Issue recurred moments after logging back in and beginning to type.
* Restarting, zapping PRAM. Issue is gone for a little while but has recurred.
* Found a single line at the time issue began again in the "All Messages" log shown by Console.app that reads as follows:
4/24/08 Apr 24, 8:58:15 PM kernel USBF: 551. 7 IOUSBCompositeDriver[0x65b7280](IOUSBDevice) GetFullConfigDescriptor(0) returned NULL
* Restarting computer again, trying to boot in verbose mode. Can't!! Keyboard wasn't recognized even at this stage! Can't log in either, keyboard unresponsive at login screen.
* Restarting again (via external USB mouse). Login window comes up and keyboard input is acknowledged. Very strange.
* Keyboard input lost once again after using the keyboard for a short period of time.
* Restarting, zapping PRAM again, and Logging in as Leopard's "Guest" user to try and isolate issue...no good, just seconds after logging in, the keyboard and trackpad freeze again.
* Restarting once again, this time everything works. Noticed that the keyboard backlight is not lighting up in low-light situations. Trying to change the light level with the keyboard keys always results in the keyboard backlight bezel showing up with a prohibitory symbol. This is looking more and more like a keyboard driver issue.
* Repairing disk permissions, no problems reported. Verifying disk itself, no issues reported. Issue persists.
Observations and Lessons learned:
* This issue began slowly, with freezes sometimes happening hours apart from one another, however it accelerated quickly. Now sometimes only mere seconds after logging in, my keyboard is frozen and sometimes the keyboard is even frozen at boot time, so that start up modifiers are not even recognized!
* Zapping PRAM helps, sometimes, but only for a short period of time.
* No other traditional Mac fix seems to affect the issue (repair permissions, etc.)
* The issue occurs regardless of whether or not any peripheral devices are attached to the system.
Perhaps unrelated, but interesting (and new!) to note:
* The Bluetooth menu item reports that "Bluetooth: Not available", the Bluetooth System Preference pane is not visible, and System Profiler reports that "No information found" about Bluetooth.

I've yet to try resetting the SMC, or doing a clean install, but from the copious amounts of users who reported similar errors in the threads I linked at the start of this post, those options only sound marginally hopeful.
Some of these issues (like the weird eject key suddenly firing on its own) have been present for a little under a week, but the freezing is brand new. The only system-wide change I've made in the last week was installed the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5.1, which was successful (verified in System Profiler; my boot ROM version reads as MBP31.0070.B07).
So mostly I want to know if anyone else using OS X 10.5.2 is also experiencing this problem. Also, though I'm grateful I could actually use my built-in keyboard to type this message (even with occasional missed keyboard presses, GRRR!!!) my only reliable workaround is an external keyboard. Which is a decidedly annoying thing indeed.
Help?!?
Thanks!

P.S. AUGH! Just as I was typing that last sentence the keyboard froze again! So I'm actually finishing typing this post via a VNC session. So, so, so so frustrating!

I wanted to post once again with additional information just in case someone else is also having similar problems. Unfortunately, I'm almost certain that this is probably bad firmware or bad hardware, not a software issue at this stage. Here's why.
KERNEL PANIC! Take a look at the backtrace and you can clearly see that the Trackpad is to blame. Also, in the system configuration report, not the boot ROM version string, which indicates that I have indeed updated to the latest firmware provided by the recent release of MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5.1.
Here's the Kernel Panic log and system configuration I reported to Apple:

I've recently spilt a little bit of water on my Macbook Pro 13" and some of it went into the keyboard, the first thing I did was get paper towels and dry it off, everything is except now the speakers sound different, and a little bit lower in volume

I've recently spilt a little bit of water on my Macbook Pro 13" and some of it went into the keyboard, the first thing I did was get paper towels and dry it off, everything is except now the speakers sound different, and a little bit lower in volume, basically the speakers just sound weird, there's no word to describe it, I can't really hear any bass from my speakers

Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.

Sound Issues using iSight

I am using iMovie 7.1.4 and when I try and record video & sound using the built in iSight camera, I get pictures but no sound.
I know the audio settings are correct in the System Preferences as I can record a voice-over using the built in mic. Thoughts / help anyone?
Thanks in advance, Andrew

Sorry, that's my mistake... I changed the drop down menu on my OS (but forgot to change it on my next post). It is indeed 10.6.6.
However I've managed to sort the issue out with a bit more research (thanks to your post). The 'noise reduction' settings were turned right up in the Voiceover recording panel... which despite not affecting the 'voiceover' recordings as much, they had in turn effectively muted the mic during video recordings.
So I've turned them down and got sound back on both types of recordings.
So thanks
You're welcome, Andrew.

Sound issue on hp 2313ax

I have purchased this laptop in the feb , till now I havent got any solution of my sound issue in 2313ax
The problem is quite different , my laptop came with free dos , when I installed windows 8 64 bit ( pro ) , there is distortion in sound while playing any song or playing a game , the distortion is like a glitch or electrical distrubance and happens every now and then , it very frustating .
But the interesting part is when I installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bit , no problem at all , sound issue is like it never existed.
When I called up the HP customer care , they were telling me that this model has different motherboard for win7 and win8 , to be honest I havent heard such a ridiculous excuse , how is this possible ?
And even if this model has different motherboards for different OS , HP should mention it at the site too in the specifications .
Irony is that when you try to download the drivers for this laptop , you will find that it is given only for winodws 8 . LOL
And they say we have different motherboards for win 7 and win8 .
Anyways , also one issue that bugs me , in windows 7 in dxdiag , video memory is shown 993 mb only
windows 8 it was showing correct around 5048 mb .
This forum is my last hope , dont know what to do ?

Hello utsav21,
Please call HP and speak to a representative about your issue.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, begin Here.
Please let me know if they take care of you.
Good luck!

T6100 - Annoying Sound issues

Alrighty, since i cant seem to figure this out on my own, i thought id register and post my problem. i've searched the forum for a resolution but came up empty.
First im a bit unhappy with this overall problem, for one i purchased this system..and even paid extra to get it shipped sooner, and it still took a week and a half, but anyhow.
I connected everything where it's supposed to go, but now..any time i play any type of PC game, I get seriously annoying consistant Pulsing sounds coming from all 5 speakers. For the most part, the games i play on a regular basis are World of Warcrafy, Gears of War, and LOTR Online, all 3 games have the pulsing sound. once the game has exited the pulsing stops, but i did notice however..
that whenever i do anything on the computer, weather its scroll thru a menu, hover over a "rollover" image, or anything of that nature, i can hear feedback in all 5 speakers.
Secondly.. The subwoofer has a very low, consistant pulse feedback ALL the time, even when the PC is off. My sound card is a Sound Blaster Audigy SE 24-Bit with up to date drivers.
So im at a loss as to what to do, im ready to remove the system and put back my old surround system i bought for 20bucks that never seem to have any problems.
Could it be possible my sound card is a bit old to handle this 5.1 system, even though it supports 5.1/6.1/7.1 systems?
Or could it be the fact that i do not own a surge protector and having the system plugged into a wall outlet be the cause of the consistant feedback?
Any help would be appreciate.
Ive found Creative products to be something i keep coming back to buy, and never had trouble until now.
And im aware of the sound quality from World of Warcraft, i've been keeping up with forums about the issue from the last patch when they decided to redo the whole sound engine. with my old system, WoW sounded incredibly disgusting after that patch..so i know its not me, its the game, I would just like to remove the feedback, and pulsing.

You actually need to find and install an audio driver for Windows, whether Cirrus or RealTek or whatever iMac uses.

Is it possible to add reverb to vocal mic, without affecting my keyboard sound?

Hello,
I am trying to record my vocals and piano simultaneously. I'm using the MBox 2, with Adobe Audition 3.0. Whenever I add reverb to my vocal track (via the fx tab under my vocal track in multi track view), it affects the way my piano sounds while I am recording (it creates a delay on the sound of the keyboard while I am playing...almost like a 'bouncing note' delay). I really want to be able to hear some reverb on my voice while recording, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do it. This is how I have everything set up:
Piano is plugged in via DI on input 2 on the back of the mbox
vocal mic is plugged in via cannon on input 1 on back of mbox
If anybody could help, that would be wonderful. I've spent hours trying to figure this out with no luck. It is a lot more fun to record your singing with a bit of the pretty reverb....but my piano doesn't agree.
Thank you
Best,
Jenny Jo

Hello Brian,
Thanks for your help again. I have spent the last 6 hours running into nothing but problems. I tried your advice about recording mono in both separate tracks, and still no luck. I was using a condenser mic, and a keyboard. Both using mono, and I was using the studio reverb. I finally decided to try something simpler, just so I could at least feel a bit satisfied in getting a recording in. I set the condenser mic near my keyboard and speakers, and plugged my keyboard into the speakers. I armed the one mic track for record for phantom power, applied studio reverb, and set up the correct settings for the track by going into Audio Hardware Setup and selecting 'Asio Digidesign Driver' as the audio driver for everything. I simply wanted to play my piano, which would sound through the monitors next to me, and sing into the microphone..which would pick up my vocals with the piano in the background. The only way I could hear reverb on my voice during the recording, was by adjusting the 'mix' knob on the front of the mbox. It seemed to be working okay, and I thought I had found at least a compromise for the moment. But after saving the files, and upon listening to them...I noticed drops and rises/glitches/ in the recording volume. I then did a bunch of tests. I recorded some without any reverb assigned at all, did some recordings with the mix knob up and some with it off...I tried everything I could think of. I saved each one as a wav file, and MP3, just to see if that would affect the sound. Listening to them, they all have those same sound glitches. While doing the recordings, the sound disturbances weren't audible.
I am wondering if there is a setting that I need to fix...I am not the most savvy technical person, and am rather new to recording. Maybe the buffer size needs to be adjusted? I really have no idea...it is frustrating. I should say that I am using an MBox 2, which is supposed to be used with Pro Tools software. I had problems using Pro Tools as well, I don't think my OS is very compatible with it. Unfortunately, I have windows Vista, which I hear nothing but problems about in regards to recording. I prefer to use Adobe Audition, as I'm familiar with it, and like it.
Well, I hope this email hasn't put you to sleep. I really hope I can get this figured out, as I'm keen to record.
Thank you again..
Best,
Jenny Jo

Subject: Is it possible to add reverb to vocal mic, without affecting my keyboard sound?
Out of some disbelief I had to try my own setup suggestion from above, since it's not a thing I do daily anymore. Without wanting to go into any dispute with the above poster, I can only say:
It works well here.
Your mileage may vary.
Setting up two mono tracks with a separate input to each, I was able to record vocals with reverb from Audition in my monitoring headphones, along with recording an electro-acoustic instrument (guitar in my case) on the adjacent track with no reverb at all. I sang/tested with lots of consonants and different monitor levels and reverbs; I used the Studio Reverb, which is the least CPU intensive and recommended in the manual. There was no noticable delay, echo, what have you, which I felt disturbed my precision at all. Now I KNOW technically there is a delay/latency, but for practical purposes it isn't noticable. I've also heard some singers are extremely pecky on this, and for them there is the solution of direct monitoring and an outboard reverb added to their headphone signal. For everyone else however it works well and the latency just a theory - certainly not an audible 'echo' of any kind. With a poor soundcard and a computer low on resources latency will become evident. Also if you don't use ASIO. This type of application is why we have ASIO.

Bad Sound in Windows 7 (32 bit) with bootcamp 3.1 on iMac 8,1

I have the following sound issues in windows 7:
I have a strange noise in the background of the sound. On low volume it is more notice able then on high volume. The noise seems to come from the left side only, when i mute the left side the sound seems to be ok.
When i mute the sound (both sides), there came still hearable output from my imac. It seems to come only or more from the right side.
The headphone jack is not working. The system detects the plug in of the headphone, but that's all. The sound come still from the internal speakers.
I try the following things to fix it:
I installed the newest realtek sound driver. It make no difference.
I deactivated wlan and bluetooth to check for interference and conflict problems. It had no effect.
I try different settings in realtek sound manager and windows sound mixer. The only setting that helped was muting the left side. Not really a solution...
In snowleopard everything works fine.
Perhaps anybody can help me.
And sorry for my bad english.
Greetings
Andreas

Hello BennB,
Have you checked compatibility?
Just an FYI for you.
It is always best to check with the software manufacturer FIRST. They will tell you if they have tested the product and the version, as well as whether or not it will work with Windows 7.
Check out the Windows 7 Compatibility site: (There you will find out about hardware and software compatibilty.)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/en-us/default.aspx
There is a pulldown from which you can choose "hardware" and "software".
There are also some great articles, instructional videos and such to help with your Windows 7 at our Springboard site:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/default.aspx
In any event a lot of the times, Vista drivers will work in lieu of Windows 7 drivers, however, it's not 100%!
As stated previously, it's best to have the Windows 7 certified drivers installed.
Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here http://tinyurl.com/9fhdl5 . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to check the threads available there for additional assitance and support.
Thanks again,

What is a packet problem? I'm having sound issues.

I'm at my wit's end. I am having sound issues. I've run diagnostic tests and everything comes back as OK, but it's not OK! Something somewhere is messed up and I can't figure it out.
I have been to the help rooms on paltlak and opened up support tickets and everything they told me to try has not helped. They suggested I change the sound tuning on my chat program, change exceptions on my firewall, uninstall and reinstall chat program, uninstall and install earlier version, download drivers for sound card, and etc. Nothing is helping this problem.
Someone mentioned that it may be router problems or packet problems. I'm not sure what that means, and that is why I'm on this forum asking for help. I have no other sound problems on my computer. My music and videos play fine. It's just when I'm in a voice enabled chat, do I experience these problems, or if I'm on a website that has videos, the video will not load all the way, so I only get 30 seconds of a video. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
I have used this chat service for over 5 years and up until a week or so ago, it worked fine. I did a complete reformat of my computer in hopes that it would help, but I'm still having the same problems. I lose sound within 5 seconds of entering the chat room. Then it takes between 3-5 minutes before I hear sound again, but then I only hear it for a few seconds. Then it goes away for another few minutes. Repeat. Over and over again.
I'm running Windows Vista on an Acer Aspire 380 with wireless cable modem. I keep losing sound in any voice/sound enabled chat and on any site that has videos. I have 1gig of ram, 300 gb hard drive, 32 bit operating system, 2 processor cores, directx version 9, realtek sound card. Everything is up to date, and firmware is up to date. My speed test is: download: 6.162 mbps and upload: 926 kbps.
When I do the ipconfig/all, it shows
Tunnel adapter local aera connection* 6: Media State: Media disconnected
description: teredo tunneling pseudo-interface
dhcp enabled: no
autoconfiguration enabled: yes
I don't know if this has anything to do with my sound issues on the chat program or not. ??
Also shows:
node type: hybrid
dhcp enabled: yes
autoconfiguration enabled: yes
default gateway: 192.168.1.1
dhcp server: 192.168.1.1
netbios over tcpip: enabled
If by chance it is a packet problem, how do I fix that?

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it just started recently and after not being able to fix the problem, I completely reformatted my computer and started with a fresh slate, but still having the same problems. The videos will not continue to load. They get less than half way and then just totally stop loading, therefore I only get to view the video up to the point where it stops loading. I just took your advice and I disconnected the router and connected my computer directly to the modem and my sound issues were fixed. I went into the voice chat and had sound for over 10 minutes (and then I disconnected) instead of the usual 5 seconds that it'd been. So is it the linksys that is causing this? If so, how can I fix it? Thank-you. Message Edited by nightrider7000 on 01-22-2008 11:34 AM

Sound problems with vista 32 bit on xfi xtremegamer

hi im havin sound issues with my sound blaster xfi fatality xtremegamer on vista 32 bit. the sound will sound like a skippin cd or sound like it is stuterin for a few seconds than it will play fine than do it again later on. i was wounderin if its a driver issue with vista or my sound card has broke? i had it runnin on xp and had no problems. can anyone help me please as my card is only abot 8 months old so if it could be faltiy i am still covered by warrinty.

I don't know if it's the driver that's causing a problem or if it's one of your components that's causing a problem. All I know is that the X-Fi is working great on my system, both in XP Pro and Vista Business. I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think I installed the driver first and then the software from the leaked Vista Suite that I downloaded from a link in a post on this forum. Never had a problem with any of the previous drivers either, but on the other hand this system was built in november/december last year, so the hardware was fairly new at the time.

Macbook sound issue after standby

Hello,
Bit random issue here..
This is not consistence but it is totally random. Randomly when i open the macbook lid when it comes out off standby by i hear a weird "ripping" sound issue i think its coming from left hand speaker or side. Im assuming its the speaker.
Its hard to explain its starts with a weird fuzzyness and then it turns into a rip type sound and stops.
It last about 2 seconds and is random and only happens after putting up lid.
Is this normal? any ideas?
thanks

Upgrade kernel to 3.1.5 still not fix the sound issue
On 12/14, I upgraded imagemagick, pcre, texinfo, virtualbox-modules, wxgtk with `pacman -Syu`,
after reboot, the sound comes back, everything works fine just like before
But on 12/16, I lost the sound again, only found these line in kernel.org
Dec 16 09:28:29 localhost kernel: [75508.452468] ice1724: Too long irq loop, status = 0xff
Dec 16 09:28:29 localhost kernel: [75508.452468] ice1724: Disabling MPU_TX
no matter how I tried to reproduce the upgrade on 12/14, still unable to fix the
issue, and those warning didn't show up again, I also boot into live USB to check
if this is hardware problem, but sound works normal in live USB
it's so weird...

All other games run supreme,i mean that in the soundish way.
thx in advance

I had the same problem with the radio in my game. Turn it from hardware to software mode in the audio options. You'll still get good sound, but it might run a bit slower, as it uses more memory.

Intermittent Sound Issues - HP Pavillion dv6700 Entertainment Laptop

Hi,
I have a HP Pavillion dv6700 Entertainment Laptop running Windows Vista 32bit Home Premium and have been running into some strange sound issues first.
First, on occassion when I start my laptop I will get a "No Audio Output Device Installed" Message, and no sound controllers show up in the device manager. Strangely, sometimes if I restart the laptop or put it into hibernation and bring it back, the output device will again work.
Also, when it is working I am experiencing other strange issues. Often, sound will work only through headphones, and not through the built in Altec Lansing speakers. Other times, even with the headphones plugged in, I only get sound through the speakers. And sometimes, no sound through either, even though the computer at this point is showing a working audio device.
Lastly, when the sound does work through the speakers, it is normally crackling and distorted - it doesn't sound right at all.
The sound device installed on the computer is Contextant Smart Audio 221 (At least when it chooses to be working...)
I hope there is a solution to this problem, thank you very much for any support!

I also have a HP Pavillion laptop, with Windows Vista.. I am having sound issues, but not the same ones.. mine often displays the volume bar on the screen, clicking like I'm turning it up or down.. I can't get it to stop or go away.. I usually have to reboot and most of the time it stops, until the next time I open the laptop. Also, when it's not doing this, I can't control my volume from the touch pad volume control at the top of my keyboard. I thought maybe it was just damaged because it seems to have some scratches in that area where the top connects when closed, but I didn't think it made sense that rebooting will stop this, even temporarily. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, however, one driver didn't come back.. it actually seemed to be better at first, but now I have to reboot it almost everytime I open it. I thought if I didn't leave it in hibernation, just turn it off, while not using it, that would help, it didn't. I have also tried updating the drivers and they are updated.. If anyone knows what else I can do, please help, it's terribly annoying, plus I have a lot of music on it, I'd like to listen to it sometime.

No sound: MSI GT627 W7 64-bit

Hi I installed Windows 7 64-bit on MSI GT627 after harddrive failure.
However I don't have any sound coming out of the speakers (headphone too). The HD Audio Device properties in the Device Manager says 'This device is working properly'.
I have tried various drivers:
- The updated drivers suggested by windows 7
- The drivers that come with Nvidia graphics card drivers
- The latest Realtek High Definition Audio Driver (2.89) R2.38 for W7 64-bit drivers
- The drivers on the MSI website for the GT627 (meant for Vista).
- The drivers on the driver CD that came with laptop.
Nothing works.
Do I need some obscure driver or is there something genuine wrong with the sound card (lose connections)?

Check in the Audio settings again, in Windows Control Panel, that the Realtek HD Audio is set as the default playback device, its possible it may be set to HDMI audio out, which is why you hear no sound.
Thanks for the reply.
The only playback device listed is 'Digital Audio (HDMI), High Definition Audio Device, Default Device'. The controller information says it is by Microsoft (Driver date: 13/07/2009, version 6.1.7600.16385). No matter which driver I installed that doesn't change, including pointing the Realtek driver directory does not change that.
FYI when I play something the equalizer is lighting up but no sound coming out of the speakers or headphone.
