Loud clicking sound when trying to play a DVD

HP Pavilion Ultimate d4995t desktop PC with Realteck High Definition Audio. Vista Premium O/S. I play my sound via my HDMI cable to the speakers in my monitor. When I attempt to play a DVD in the DVD drive, I get a loud clicking noise with no sound from the DVD. This only happens to DVD's. CDs play sound without a problem. If I copy the same DVD files to the hard drive, I can play it from the hard drive and sound works. If I plug in speakers to the audio-out and disable the HDMI output, I can play the DVD in the DVD drive and the sound plays through those speakers without the noise. I have ran Microsoft sound tool without success. Updated all the sound drivers. I reloaded Vista, that corrected the problem. But as time went on the problem came back. I suspect the problem was caused by an Microsoft update. Anyone have any suggestions?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Yes, it happens after installing Service Pack for Vista through Windows Update.
Click Start->'Control Panel -> Sound -> Playback -> Select Realtek HDMI Output, click Properties. Click Advanced Tab above,
Unclick 'Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device', click Apply/Ok.
Check if the issue is resolved, if not, select HDMI Output on Sound Window, click Properties, click Enhancements tab, check the option 'Disable all sound effects', click Apply/Ok.
Thank You.

Garageband making loud double clicking sound when trying to record

Garageband makes a loud double clicking sound when I'm trying to record and then it won't let me play back what I've recorded. Please help. Thank you

Clicking sound when charging and playing

My ipod makes a really weird clicking sound when it's charging and playing music and videos either though the clicker isn't on.

I have tried just about everything very methodicly.
Got Tune Tech for iPod software and cleaned everything, tried the diagnostic mode to see if everything was OK. I was thinking on the lines of some sort of macanical/electronic failure (SDRAM) but everything was all right
So I plunged in and retrograded to firmware 1.2 and VOILA !
The instructions found on MacIntouch were very simple and easy to do.
My faithfull 5G iPod is back to good working order....for now !
No more freeze when charging.
I hope Apple will adress this firmware problem in the next update.

On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"
and also a green button saying "Get Flash Player"
I get this if using chrome or safari .
I can go direct to YouTube it just works.

The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video. Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash.

Clicking sound when playing

My classic 160gb makes a loud clicking sound as if its searching, when I am not pressing wheel, what should I do?? It's annoying!!
Is it faulty??

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
My classic 160gb makes a loud clicking sound as if its searching, when I am not pressing wheel, what should I do?? It's annoying!!
Is it faulty??
You may want to post your question on your iPod classic in this discussion: should post the question at the iPod classic discussions at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=204
Normally, a new loud clicking sound, where it was previously quiet in comparison, from a hard drive is indicative of a pending hard drive failure. If the iPod is new, it's possible that the drive has issues, in which case you should take it to your local Apple store to determine if there's an issue.

Z10 Clicking sound when using earpiece

HELP
I bought my Z10 June 11, 2013. Using my earpiece for the first time today (June 18, 2013), I noticed that there is a clicking sound. I also notice that when I try to play a music it stops and go but when I take out the earpiece the music plays smoothly. It also notice that when I am out of the music section, it goes in and out of voice recognition. I am looking forward for some assistance as I have been waiting so long for this phone and now this disappointment. When i go to main volume it keeps on adjusting by itself and making a ringing sound.

Same problem here when upgrading to 3.1.1 from 3.0, keyboard sound went REAL low no matter what the settings were set to... I just did the latest update from 3.1.1 to 3.1.2 thinking they may have fixed the problem, but NOPE same low keyboard click sound. I'm working on downgrading back to 3.0
This *****, i need the louder click sound sometime i type notes on my ipod while at work and it a noisy plant... i need to hear what i am typing...

My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

'An unknown error occurred when trying to play the...

Hello,
I have had a BT Vision package for a few months but we recently moved house and wanted to transfer our services. Since moving in, we have got the telephone, internet and TV channels working however we are struggling with the additional TV services (i.e. catch up, recording, on demand).
Everytime we try to play something on catch up or via on demand, or try to play a recorded programme, it attempts to load but then the following error message appears at the bottom of the screen in a red box - 'An unknown error occurred when trying to play the video OutputProtectionEnableFailed'
I have phoned BT's technical department on several occasions who have not been able to resolve the issue. I have tried Googling this error message and searching BT's website however I cannot find any comments about this error. BT have offered to send a technician out however will automatically charge £99 if this is an error with the cable rather than the BT box. This is a lot of money and I am not able to risk this potential charge when I'm not sure what the problem might be.
If anyone know's what might be causing this , or has had the same error message themselves, I would be very grateful to know.
Many thanks,
SHyde

Getting message "file cannot be found" when trying to play music in iTunes

When trying to play ANY music in my iTunes Library I get the message that the file containing the music cannot be found. I recently updated to the latest version of iTunes - is this the problem or is it something else?? I thought that at least the songs purchased from the iTunes Store would play but they do not. I receive the same message which asks if I want to attempt to locate the file. I click yes and that takes me to the iTunes Library which gets me nowhere. Anyone have any ideas????? I have used iTunes for years with no problems before this.

Hi Patricia,
First, try Repairing Disk Permissions. Quit all open applications. Launch Disk Utility, it's in your Applications/Utilities folder. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click Repair Disk Permissions. Only takes a few minutes to run, then Quit Disk Utility. Reboot your PBook and launch iTunes. See if you can play a track...
If not... with iTunes open, select iTunes Store, then from the Menu Bar, click Store/Authorize Computer and see if that works. If that doesn't work ...
Quit iTunes. Try dragging the com.apple.iTunes.plist file from the HD/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences folder to your Desktop. Launch iTunes and see if you can play tracks. If you can, drag that file back to the Preferences folder. If not, drag that file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It could be your iTunes preferences file is corrupted and needs replacing. Your Mac will create a new pref file for you the next time you launch iTunes.
Hope something helps...

Quicktime crashes vista when trying to play .mov

Hi all,
When trying to play .mov files with quicktime it instantly runs very slowly and then I get the blue screen of death and the system crashes. I can play the same .mov files in window media player, no problems. I was just wondering if anyone had found this and if there were any fixes. I have re installed quicktime which is the latest version. The Laptop has 3gb RAM a 2.4ghz Celeron and runs very fast with everything apart from quicktime. Its only a week old and has done this with quicktime from the start.
Thanks

Okay, let's go digging.
1. Download and install the Windows debugging tools from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
2. Go to Start, All Programs, Debugging Tools For Windows, Windbg
Once you open Windbg, you will presented with a blank screen.
3. Click on "File > Symbol File Path". Here you will enter the symbols
path. Symbols are needed to effectively debug.
The path will be:
SRVc:symbolshttp://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
4. Enter in this path and click OK. Now, go to "File > Save Workspace"
so that your symbols path is saved for future use.
5. Go to "File > Open Crash Dump" and load the file.
(An "Open Crash Dump" screen will appear ... doubleclick "Computer", doubleclick "Local Disk", doubleclick "Windows", doubleclick "Minidump", and doubleclick on one of the minidumps in there.)
*If you get a dialog at this point saying you don't have permission to open the file, try this:* OK out of the permission warning dialog. Right-click on the minidump file (In the "Open Crash Dump" screen), and select "Properties". Click the "Security" tab. Click the "Advanced" button. Click "Continue". Check the "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" checkbox, and click OK. Click Yes when the Windows security box comes up. Close the "properties" screens at this point, and go back to "Open Crash Dump", and try doubleclicking on the minidump again.
You will/should get a message to save base workspace information. Choose no.
Now you will get a debugging screen. It takes a little bit to run it,
as the symbols have to be downloaded as they are needed.
After the "bugcheck analysis" part of the screen comes up, look for the component that seems to be causing the crash.
Let us know the precise name of the component. (Include any file name extensions like .dll or .sys.)
If you can, have a look at several of your nine crash dumps. Are all the crashes being caused by the same component? If not, could you let us know the names of the various components being cited in the various crash dumps?

Imovie crashes when trying to play on full screen or when i try to upload to idvd any ideas i have reinstalled software?

Imovie 09 when trying to play on full screen the program crashes also when trying to burn using idvd the program crashes. i have tried reinstalling software but get the same problem. Also some of my old projects that were ok before are doing the same, any ideas.

Instead of Sharing to iDVD you want to Share to Media Browser. This will save the movie to a special folder inside of iMovie that you can then see from inside the iDVD program.
Choose Share > Media Browser (it's at the top of the list)
Choose the Large size and let it roll. It will take a while for it to work.
When it's finished quit iMovie.
Open iDVD, Create a new project.
Go to the button labeled "Media" in the lower right hand corner of the iDVD window, and click it.
Just above that is a window with some buttons across the top. Click on the button labeled "Movies".
Inside the window you will see an iMovie star icon, double-click the triangle beside it to see all the movies being shared. Your iMovie project will appear there.
Drag the iMovie project into your iDVD project.
The quality of the final DVD is visibly better, sharper than if you were to Share directly to iDVD. So bypass Share to iDVD altogether and see if it stops crashing.

MacBook Pro 2012 hinge problem with single click sound when i open it

when i go to sleep and shut my macbook off and close the screen next morning i open my screen and i hear a single click noise??
im paranoid ita a brand new macbook its not a hard drive fail it just a single click sound when i open it to turn on
and heres a video of the hinge is this is whats causing the single click sound? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEUt2p783nA

I have this problem too with my Mid-2012 MBP non-retina. The screen would click once, after being left for a long time, and would be fine after that, until you close it and re-open it again after a long time. It is especially loud in the morning so I think it is temperature dependent. Happened about 3 months after buying. I took it to Apple. First time they replaced the entire screen. They had to since that is the only way to replace the hinge. When I got it back, the screen still clicks. Took it back to Apple again. Second time they just tightened the screws securing the display with the unibody. When I got it back the second time, the screen still clicks. Took it back to Apple again. The third time they replaced the entire screen AGAIN! When I got it back, the problem was fixed for 2 days, then the screen started clicking again so I'm back to square one. I'm wondering whether I should take it to Apple the forth time, but then again, they've already replaced the screen twice which didn't work so I'm not sure what more they can do. It's either this is normal, which implies the screen hinge is really badly designed or the clicking has nothing to do with the screen at all.
