Little annoying noises during playback

have uploaded 15GB of music to my new nano - almost every piece of music has at least one tiny but annoying little tick / glitch / fluff noise in it somewhere. this never happened with my previous 4 ipods. help.

I have observed this with my 4th gen Nano. The sound is pristine through the headphone jack, but when connected via some (older) dock devices there are little bursts of static every few moments.
I have tried this with a Bose Sounddock and a Tivoli iSongbook. Same thing. The little static bursts are NOT repeatable (random), and do NOT appear in headphones. Most people would probably never notice this noise, especially if they play only rock music. Music with less percussive sound reveals the problem more easily.
The very same files played through the dock devices on my old 3rd Gen iPod sound perfect.
I was getting ready to ask Apple to exchange my Nano for another to see if that has any effect. Other than this issue, I love it and it works great.

  • Skips & Scratch Noises during playback ...

    I am all of a sudden getting skips & scratch noises during playback on certain albums during playback on Itunes and it transferred over to my ipod ... What could be causing this and how can I get rid of it.  ( No it is not the CD it was burned from cause it sounds perfect playing on other devices)
    thanks for any ideas or tips :-)

  • S90 Static noise during video recording

    Everytime I do video recording on my S90, I can hear static noise during playback.
    Does anyone else face this problem? Is this hardware or software related?

    Update the S90 via OTA
    Once that is done then try again. If problem persist then open dialer and press ####1111#.
    In engineering mode, select back mic test in Item test. This will record via back mic and will playback. If you still hear static during this time then bring it to the service center.

  • Short cut when loading VST effect during playback with CS6

    Hi !
    I'm a Audition CS6 user. I love this software, but I have a little problem.
    During playback in multitrack session, when I'm loading a VST effect or even an internal Auditon effect, there is, every time at this moment, a short cut of the sound.
    It's really boring and I didn't have this trouble with Audition 3.
    I have the same problem when I want to group some tracks, at this moment, during playback, the same short cut, or mute.
    I don't find any answer in the settings, have you got a solution ?
    thank you in advance and Merry Xmas !

    I don't think that it is intended that you should add effects or change the grouping whilst playback is on going. Audition has to adjust all the tracks for any delay that might be required to keep all the tracks synchronised. I suspect that it has to reload the audio buffers to take account of this which causes a brief break or mute whilst it does so. So load up any effects that you might use into the Effects Rack before you start playback. You can then switch the effects in and out of circuit hopefully without any breaks since I believe that any effects in the rack are catered for even if not active.

  • Songs stopping for a few seconds during playback in both my iPad 2 and my iPod. Running latest iTunes on both. Any fixes out there? It is extremely annoying.

    I noticed recently that more songs are stopping during playback for a few seconds in both my 4th generation iPod touch and my new iPad2. Very annoying. Any suggested fixes for this?  Thanks!

    I should mention, it was on low power as I was using it.

  • No sound during playback (but sound effects are working)

    Was there a bad incremental update in the last 24 hours? Woke up this morning to find that my 2nd Gen Apple TV has gone mute. But only during playback of videos or music. The clicking sound effect during navigation comes through just fine. Tried this over HDMI and the Digital out, with both a receiver and directly to the tv. Also tried it with multiple apps so it isn't app specific. Hope Apple fixes this soon.

    Sorry if I came off a bit testy. I use the Apple TV daily in my work environment for background noise and the issues totally derailed my workflow this morning.
    So, I tried adjusting audio settings for both Dolby Digital and Audio Out. No luck.
    Last resort time. Hardwired (USB cable) to my laptop and restored via iTunes. Success, audio fuctional across all apps. Not the best of solutions because of the time required to restore accounts for the various 3rd party apps on the Apple TV but it worked.
    Guess I will never know what caused the 'no audio" issue though I suspect a bad/failed auto update. As convenient as that new feature is, it doesn't help when things go wrong.
    A final note, beta software is supposed to be buggy, I undertstand. Production stuff isn't. I've been a loyal Apple user for 20+ years now because of their quality control. I've used competing products too and felt very annoyed at the lack of QC (looking at you Google TV). I would love to see quicker addressing of bugs on the Apple TV OS because a bad experience is what drives less-technical users away. It is a real game changer device if Apple were to even attempt to give it the level of support that other products get. Anyways, that's my soapbox moment.

  • Audio dropping out during playback in timeline

    Hey everyone,
    I've dug through these forums and unless I just completely overlooked it I have not found a solution to this issue. I've listed my setup below and then have stated the issue I'm experiencing.
    27-inch, Mid 2011 iMac
    3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    AMD Radeon HD 6970 1024MB
    Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Currently working off of a portable 1TB G-Technology G-DRIVE via FW800.
    Working in Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.2
    Editing in a sequence with settings:
    1920 x 1080 23.976fps (also tried in a 29.97fps timeline with same issue)
    Working with footage that is 23.98fps
    Working with a combination of ProRes 422 (LT) and native H.264 Quicktime files strait from a 5D Mark 3.
    The issue I'm having is during playback the audio will competely drop out. The video will continue playing on just fine but the audio drops completely out. All audio levels drop as well in the audio mixer meters so it truly is losing all communication with my audio layers in the timeline.
    I read in other forums to go into Finder and delete out the .caf files, re open Premiere Pro, wait for them to be recreated then carry on. I tried this approach with no luck. Deleting the .caf did not change anything. Audio is still dropping out as I try to play through my timeline. The only way to get the audio back is to pause then press play again. I have 5 total channels of audio with only 2 of those channel active.
    Any ideas on what is happening would be greatly appreciated. This is incredibly frustrating have to export out a video just to be able to watch it through.

    Having this annoying problem also.  Using the Space Bar to play timeline it takes pressing and holding to a count of three or trying press play three time in a row using the space bar to get ungarbled audio, or any audio at all in a normal uncomplicated sequence on the timeline.
    Really annoying.  Audio used to be so simple and untaxing to a sequence.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 - Black flickering lines during playback and when exporting video

    I am fairly new to Premiere and have recently started using creative cloud on my new MacBook Pro retina - 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - OSX Version 10.9.4
    I shot a music video using my friends camera and all the shots were absolutely fine, I dropped them into Premiere and started editing the video together.
    Some of the clips are perfectly fine during playback, although sometimes my playback stutters a little, but some of the clips have strange horizontal lines that flash through them when I watch it back. I have only used basic things such as the highlight/shadow and sharpen tools in Premiere. I thought that it maybe fine once I exported the video but when I open up the exported file on my desktop in Quicktime the little black flashes/glitches are still there in some of the shots.
    Here is a screenshot you can see a line halfway between the top of my head and the top of the screen, when you watch the video there are lots of these flashing about.
    Could this be something that I have set up wrong?
    CPU/GPU related?
    Thanks,

  • Sound stops during playback

    Running the latest version of CS6 (current on all updates) on a Mac Mini i7 2.3GHz with 16GB RAM running OS X 10.8.2.
    Whenever CPU usage starts to get a little heavy, sound will go silent at random times during playback of timeline in the program monitor.  Meters go to zero when sound goes out and go active when sound returns.  Video playback is fine and there are no dropped frames.  This also was happening on my previous machine, a 2008 Mac Pro.  Started happening with CS6 and never happened in CS5.5.
    All my source footage is h264 from a Canon 5D.  Sequence was created by doing the 'create sequence from clip' command.  Program monitor resolution is set at 1/4.  Played with setting audio hardware buffersizes to different values but with no change in behavior.

    I'm having the same problem on an editing workstation with CS6. The audio will stop playing after 4-5 seconds, video plays fine. The timeline has been rendered. If I hit the stop/pause key, (spacebar), and hit it again, it will play for another 4-5 seconds before the audio drops out. Sometimes only one audio track will stop playing.
    Video is 720P, two audio tracks, three video tracks.  System is win 7-64 with an intel I7 extreme CPU, 12 GB RAM (9GB dedicated to Premiere, performance mode)
    Any suggestions?

  • T61 Display Problem and Annoying Noise from ESC button area

    I have two problems with my T61, model 6460-66U. One's with display and another is annoying noise coming from ESC button area.
    Ordered in Feb, 2008 for college use, as soon as I start to use it there's some problem with the display quality. When using Aero there would be black square spots appearing on screen and would disappear when hovering mouse over these areas. Processing speed is somewhat slow when using Aero. While switching to Basic Vista style, those black square spots will only appear in the Windows Photo Gallery's left corner, like the image shows: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3149/2746362257_6dc6a4d6a2_o.jpg  When playing videos, like avi, rmvb, wmv files, there's a common problem that the screen in the media player keeps flashing with the green color. I thought it was the RAM, because it's 1G so it got upgraded to 3G over summer break. Hoping the problem would be solved, but not . Recover the system back to factory status helps a little, but after upgrading the newest driver (7.15.11.7597) of Nvidia 140m there would be sudden black out on screen, and notice of display driver stopped working. When degrade to 7.15.11.129 version it runs fairly well but problem with Photo Gallery and videos as mentioned above still exist. I found a Korean media player which could fix the video playing problem, but with Windows Media player, Realplayer and other major video player the problem still exists. Screenshot of the problem is here http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3087/2746362307_aff12c556c_o.jpg  I upgraded BIOS, but laptop would become slow and video images would blur/double shadows. So I swtiched it back.
    And recent few days, there's annoying noise coming from in the upper left corner, where ESC button is. I don't know whether it's from the fan or the AC adapter, it's like Zssssss, and if I press my finger on it, the noise would be a little louder. There's a similar problem that I noticed in the first few weeks with the experience of this laptop, whenever I maximize the volume (both volume control of computer and the music player), some annoying noise, which is similar to this Zsss sound but louder will buzzing along with music. Didn't care much about that since if I don't maximize the volume it would just be fine. But this time the whining noise won't disappear. What probably cause this?  Anyway to fix it, like replacing certain parts??
    Suggessions and help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!!

  • Playhead randomly JUMPS to the end of the timeline when "editing" during playback

    CS 6.0.1
    OSX 10.7.4
    I love the new feature in CS6 that lets you edit DURING playback, and playback won't stop. Brilliant.
    Now, I use this feature a lot making cuts as I go. I use the "command + shift + k" combo to make an edit to all tracks while the playhead is moving along. It seems though that every so often when I do this, the playhead warps to the end of the timeline. Very frustrating, and when dealing with long timelines,really slows me down, to get back to where I was working.
    Also I can repeat this "glitch" very easily, so its not some totally random occurance. Just pushing cmd+shift+k while the playhead is moving a few times repeats it very quickly.
    Am I doing something wrong here? Or toggling some OTHER key command inadvertently? Or is this a legit glitch?
    EDIT: I would like to add that using the "nudge" command during playback has the same glitch of arbitrarily jumping to the end of the timeline if you click the nudge command quickly in succession.

    This issue was NOT resolved by manually installing all cs6 updates that were failing with adobe product manager, then doing a clean installation of the latest drivers from Nvidia's website using the ODE (Optimal Drivers for Enterprise) Graphics Drivers.
    The issue came back after editing for a little bit., however this following fix worked:
    *FIXED BY ADOBE TECH SUPPORT INDIA*
    The solution was to delete all media cache files and all cache settings for the specific project.   Check all your cache locations and encoded media file locations.
    Rebuild project on load.... edit.    Thanks.

  • How to toggle the CTI so it moves left to right on timeline rather than stay centered during playback?

    I'm working with Premiere Elements 7, so it's a little older.  In times past, the CTI simply moved left to right on the timeline during playback.  I got used to this for years, and it does have its advantages.
    However, I recently did a system restore and reinstall Elements 7 with an available patch offered via Adobe's website.  Now the CTI stays centered in the middle during playback and the timeline moves from right to left.
    Any way I can toggle this so I can use the original feature?  I've searched all over the internet to found out how to do this and can't find an answer.

    You are dealing with Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling Options - No Scroll versus Page Scroll versus Smooth Scroll.
    I wrote all about them in
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12/12.1: Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling
    But to cut to the core of the matter....there is sort of a conflict in what you wrote....
    The default Timeline Playback Auto-Scroll option is Page Scroll for versions 12 through 9 and Smooth Scroll from
    versions 8 to 4.
    Smooth Scroll is the choice where the Timeline Indicator stops in the center of the visible timeline and then has the Work Area Bar and Timeline moving from right to left. You say you want the "original". If so, you have the original.
    If you want Page Scroll or No Scroll, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General, try each of the 3 choices and decide which one you want.
    I suspect it is the Page Scroll option that you are now seeking.
    Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
    Need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thanks.

  • I'm seeing a strobing effect during playback of clips and timeline in FCP7. How do I fix?

    I'm seeing a strobing effect during playback of clips and the timeline in FCP7. Footage isn't corrupt. Apple techs said its not hardware after their tests at the Apple store. I did a full reinstall of FCS. There's 4GB of RAM free at all times during playback. The problem is still there... How do I fix this?
    Strobing:
    By strobing, I mean there's only about 1 ever 10 frames playing back for me. Everything is rendered and the comp settings match the clip settings. It's not constant though, but the strobing is triggered at certain points on the timeline and effect a few clips after that (10 seconds or so at a time), and then when the next clip is displayed on the timeline the strobbing stopps and is reset back to normal playback... until another random clip is encountered by the playback head to which then the process repeats. Also, when strobbing is happening and I move the playhead back a few seconds, or pause & play, or even forward a little on the same strobbing clip (basically when i inturrupt the playback process) the strobbing STOPS! I can watch the same footage that was strobing without it strobing any longer until I move back the playhead far enough and try again, then the strobing is triggered again. I hope this all makes sense, it's very picular and I've seen or heard of nothing like it in my 4 years of editing in FCP7.

    SStrange my enough the problem started occurring a few hours into the project. The only thing I can think of is that I shot with all Canon 5D mark iii footage when I usually shot with a mark ii. My workflow hasn't changed and I have never had this problem. I've also used other mark iii footage in the past without a problem but I don think I've edited entirely with mark iii footage

  • Slowing speed causing jerks during Playback in premiere pro 1.5. Can anyone give advice to solve?

    Hello.
    I am from Pakistan and we use PAL.
    I am using adobe premiere pro 1.5 at my P.C. No capturing card has been installed on my computer. When I strech any video clip or slow its speed, after render, it produces little bit jerks and flickers during playback. Even it shows same problem after export project. Can anyone tell me the solution. Another thing I want to share, I have installed Matrox RTX card at my office. I have not seen any jerk there during slow motion. (Sorry for using inappropriate english)

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, you have posted to the CS5 sub-forum, and should post to the CS4 and Earlier Forum. I am sure that one of our MOD's will move this for you, especially as you were kind enough to put the version number in the title - thank you for that.
    Now, can you give us the full specs. of your Video files. The more detail, the better. There is likely some aspect of those Source Files, that is causing an issue.
    Good luck, and if this post "disappears," then it has been moved for you. See the link above to the CS4 and Earlier forum.
