Loud noisy pop sound at end, why?

every time i burn a cd i get a loud static like popping crack sound at the end of the cd. the rest of the cd is fine.
any help on how to stop it?

I get exactly the same thing. I think the CD ROM is not finalising properly, because I think the CD drawer should spit out the CD at the end, and it never does. I did diagnostics, but not sure what all the bunkum means. It would be helpful if the diagnostics applet actually solved the problem! I have already checked that my CD/DVDdrive is using the latest firmware, and it is. I am going to try a different brand of disk (I've been using JVC CD-R Music Audio ones and will switch to Imation ones) and if that doesn't help, I will find the article for removing all traces of iTunes and start again. That might help.
Incidentally, I've never had this problem with other programs like Nero (which can't burn protected downloads) but I've had issues (on other PCs) when iTunes and Windows Media Player have been open at the same time. They do conflict with one another and the only solution is to reload CD ROM firmware. But that's not the issue here, I'm sure, as I've done that.
On a different note, isn't it frustrating trying to get in touch with Apple tech Help?!!! Would someone provide their email address or phone number? They have the world's number 1 selling MP3 player, yet it is darn nigh impossible to get a quick solution to problems. I think their support people should at least patrol this forum and give definitive answers to problems. CD burning in Windows seems to be riddled with gremlins and it would be nice if Apple tackled the issue!

Popping sounds at end of clips

Hey
I'm using Audition CS6 (windows) and I'm getting these click/pop sounds at the end of clips in multitrack. If I open the individual clips up to edit and play it through there isn't any sign of it. However if I play the clip through in edit mode and stop it near the point where the pop is I will hear the pop when I hit stop. The irritating thing is if I do a mix down these little errors are still there and they are pretty loud!
Any idea what could cause this? I'm using windows 7 and Cs6.

Without seeing the waveforms and/or hearing what you've got this is a complete shot in the dark -- and probably unlikely since it sounds like this is happening to multiple files and not just one but:
1) Does the audio in your clips end with the waveform much above or below 0 amplitude? (You need to zoom in extra close to see if this is the case) If your wave stops too far above or below the line, and then suddenly drops to 0 as it's playing through in a mix it can cause clicks.
2) Do you have the gain boosted on these clips anywhere in the multitrack mix window? If so, maybe you've got a click in the wavefore that's not too noticeble when playing in the edit window, but boosting the gain in the multitrack makes it more noticeble.

Macbook Pro and Beolab3 random loud popping sound

I'm using Macbook Pro and Bang & Olufsen Beolab3 speakers (powered speakers) connect using headphone output but I hear random loud popping sound. Sometimes so loud that it made me jump. It is definitely not a program generated sound. It is more like some sort of electrical interference. This could happen both while an audio is being played or just on standby. The laptop is less than a month old.
The speakers are fine as I tested with other laptop. Is this normal for this combination? or there actually is a fault with my sound card? I need to know so I can do something about it while it is under warrantee. I was recommend to get a audio DAC. But I need to make sure that it is not a problem with the laptop first.
Thanks. Please help. Any suggestions?

Sounds like your Mac is all mucked up. Your recourse is an Apple store or Authorized Apple Service. You can also all AppleCare.

My iPhone 5 have the glass popping sound when I press on the top left corner of my phone but I don't know why, I don't see any visibility of the glass coming out. My friends all told me to not exchange.

My iPhone 5 have the glass popping sound when I press on the top left corner of my phone but I don't know why, I don't see any visibility of the glass coming out. My friends all told me to not exchange because after all the software is perfectly fine.

My phone just turned 2 months old. But in Singapore as long your phone is under one year warranty I can still go for an exchange at the respective telco, but my friends all suggest me to not change now cause after changing it'll be a refurbished set instead of a brand new one.

Loud popping sound and then nothing

Everything was working beautifully then suddenly I heard a loud popping sound and the screen went black and the computer was dead. I turned everything else off, waited about thirty seconds and tried to turn it on. When I press the on button it lights up but nothing else happens.
Any thoughts?

Can anyone help me figure why there is a popping sound when I move from an iphoto still image to a new video clip? The sound has been removed from the video clips and there is another soundtrack underneath it all. Help?

My current project is like many I have created in the past. I have removed the sound from my video clips and laid another soundtrack under the entire project. Now, when I add an iphoto still image to the project, when it goes back into video there is a popping sound. I've never had this happen in the past and have made many projects in the past just like this one. Any way to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks so much for your help.

What audio output are you using? What mac and version iMovie

Why do I get a cracking/popping sound when recording?

Ever since I updated to OSX Mountain Lion, I am having trouble with Garageband.
The issue is that as soon as the sound starts to build up, then the cracking and popping sounds begin, interrupting the recording. I use two types of microphones, the M-Audio for voice and ONE by Apogee for my guitar, and so far I have had excellent results.I have restarted the application and even changed microphones, but the problem persists.
The problem gets worse when you export the song to iTunes, where all the cracks and interruptions show up, ruining the song.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution?

Loud popping sounds on MacBook

The problem with the popping sounds, introduced with 10.4.10 and fixed with audio update 1-2007 is back in Leopard. At least on my MacBook. Here ist the old thread regarding this topic. The symptoms are absolutely the same.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1005162&start=0&tstart=0
Any ideas?

iTUnes actually uses parts of quicktime in the background to play audio and video. Usually when people report popping sounds in itunes, its due to some conflict quicktime is having with the sound device, the software with the sound card, or other programs on the PC like plug ins.
FIrst goto your PC makers site, and download/install any sound card/ audio device updates they offer and applys to your model.
Secondly you can try going to in windows, control panel>Quicktime>Audio tab check "Safemode (Waveout only)" Hit OK and reboot the PC for the settings to take.

POP sound come out from air vent

Hi every mac user out there,
My MacBook pro 15 inch recently don't know why, start to have a pop sound out from the back of my MacBook pro's air vent, this started after I open the below case just for checking(because last time I saw a little tiny bug going inside!), after that I heard the pop sound, in early state, sound I quite loud so I think maybe is my hand or some other thing make it, then a few day ago, there still has a pop sound but just a small sound from the vent, after about 5min of usage it will show up, any idea?
Note:my mac does not has any dust inside the fans or the vent, I haven't do any battery calibration or any rmc or NVRAM reset recently, I not over use my mac only does when editing some movie and play game ,does this affect them?

I also have this problem with my Extreme Gamer Fatilty X-Fi. In 6 channel direct mode 5. works perfectly but if I switch to the SPDIF mode connected to that Creative Digital I/O addon thing the rear left and rear right sound comes out of the front right and front left. This is with the latest drivers. I tried a clean re-install of the drivers and apps using driver cleaner but the sound is still messed up.
I guess thats an improvement in for me. With Vista 64, SPDIF didn't even work at all till the more recent drivers, so I guess you could call it progress, creative style.
I am lucky I have little need for SPDIF with this card as its not a main source of movies/TV for me. This system is mostly used for gaming, and at least that works good. Had I needed this for a HTPC or something I would be very very pissed off. If I had paid for that DDL thing I would be livid having already paid for their $4 Digital adapter addon which is rendered worthless.

[Pulseaudio] Pop sound when the first stream starts, auto-suspend?

Hi,
I've been having a popping sound issues whenever a Pulseaudio sink was opened. At first I thought it had a link with the power saving settings of snd_hda_intel, so I changed those two settings:
power_save setting = 0
power_save_controller = N
Sadly, it doesn't change anything.
I also tried to disable auto-mute in alsamixer. It didn't work.
Then, I tried to investigate on pulseaudio's side, and figured the sinks are disabled when they are idle, so I commented out this statement in /etc/pulse/default.pa:
### Automatically suspend sinks/sources that become idle for too long
#load-module module-suspend-on-idle
However, if I do that, the device will still be suspended when the last stream ends, but won't come back to life except if I select the device again in pavucontrol while a sound stream is running (super weird).
Any leads? I'm a bit desperate...
EDIT: I'm experiencing what's been described here: Red Hat - Bug #520403 - but the solution they proposed does not work for me. I also followed the guide for ALSA Setup on the wiki, and read the section talking about Popping Noises, but nothing works for me, I un-muted the Line-In too. FYI, my audio codec is a Realtek ALC892.
EDIT 2: Noticed it does the same thing when I mute the volume.
Thanks!
Gabriel

Right, an array of unsigned integers to be exact. You would have to look at the code, either in your sources or here and here. They may have changed somewhat, but I doubt any drastic changes. First link is to linux 3.14 version. At least I assume it gets passed on directly, if that really is the case, I do not know. Just try it, hardware damage risk is minimal.
Looking at the mask, I think it takes up to 31 samples. So try with 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24. I may be very well wrong about this.
Since I already have 0 and 1 in the 'trial matrix' I'll add 24 only. Adding the combinations with 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 is too much for me

On most keyboard layouts (also on the Polish programmer one) hyphen is one key one keystroke, where underscore is two key one keystroke, therefore more error prone and less efficient.
Wow, I didn't know that! What do you know! Linux being bitchy even about capital letters made me think it would be even more bitchy about '_' vs '-'.

Popping Sound then..nothing!

Hi, my iPod made a loud popping sound then it does not play sound anymore. The computer part functions fine it just won't play any sound. It makes the clicking sound from perusing the menu...just no music. Is this the end of the road for my ipod? Or can this be fixed?

A Single POP Sound from Left speaker, after system heavy load.

Hello From Russia)) I bought Brand New Macbook pro 15" Late 2011 Ci7, this is incredible machine. But a month past and i started to notice a very strange behavior:
When i using mac for resource "Eating" application or processes my computer starts to Heat-this is normal.
When i close all the apps here starts interesting) I have Istat installed, so i can see what temps are in my system. Computer is cooling, and when cpu reaches 50-55 degrees (Celsium, from 80 degrees, because of heavy load) ,my left speaker produces a single loud pop sound. (like something turning of may be)
In other terms of use absolutely is fine! It is very strange and i dont know is normal or not(
Thank you very much, and sorry for my english.

That is not something I would expect. I would go to a repair facility and have it checked.
Ciao.

IMac CRT making POP sounds

my bondi blue iMac is making loud popping sounds, and the screen is flickering..
it is completely random, even though i am expecting it to do it, it always scares me everytime it does it...
is this thing going to explode, catch fire? it has never been opened, or anything...
please help, this was my first USB based Mac!!!

That sounds just like symptoms of Flyback Transformer (FBT) failure. A very common problem in early, tray-loading iMacs.
You can fix it yourself, if you are comfortable working around HIGH VOLTAGE. Look here - MacOpz Flyback Transformer repair.
It may be best to either a) connect an external monitor to the iMac, or b) take the hard drive out, as your data should still be safe.
Good luck,

Popping sounds in the multitrack in Adobe Audition CC

I've been using Adobe Audition CC for a week now and have been having some problems with it. Sometimes there would be random pop sounds during the multi-track. The random pop sounds would sometimes come at certain sections of the multitrack, but I wouldn't hear them later. I would play the individual audio files and sometimes they weren't there. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Do I have to change some settings? I ran Adobe Audition 3 a few weeks ago on my Windows 8.1 system and never had any problems with popping sounds . With CC I get pops for some reason. I have a custom made computer that is supposed to have high performance. Is there anything I should change in bios mode? The multitrack that I'm using is around 40 minutes, and is on 11 tracks. I don't know if that has anything to do with that.
The computer I have is a custom made computer desktop that I custom made for working with music. It's an i7 and the most powerful computer I have ever owned. I have serious doubt that it's my computer. My computer is new and runs fast. As I said before, I'm running Windows 8.1 and it didn't have any problems with popping sounds when running on Adobe Audition 3 previously. I think it probably has something to do with bugs in the program itself. Has anyone experienced these problems? If so, did you fix them? Or does Adobe plan to fix them? I have contacted Adobe once through email and sent a complaint through Adobe Audition's support system and heard from nobody. So far, Adobe Audition has not sent me any patches or anything. Adobe Audition CC is insanely expensive. I'm paying around $220 or $240 a year for a program that already has serious flaws.

Hi there,
(My first post! I signed up/logged in specifically to ask about this problem, which I am also having.)
I am using an old Mackie mixer -> MBox 2 -> iMac. I have used this same basic setup for last few years, and this problem is sudden and new.
It sound like digital clipping/distortion, but is clearly not happening during the peaks of waveform. The input to Mbox is clear thru headphone monitor, I can't hear anything - but when played back, intermittent and audible pops/hits are happening.
My suspicion is that it is from the USB to the Mac; there are three USB inputs on the iMac and since the Mbox is powered via USB, I think the noise is being introduced there. I tried two outta the three ports (guess I should try the third - why did I stop there? Oh right - coffee!) So far I seem to have best luck when no other programs are running, restart the computer before every session, but otherwise I am just crossing my fingers!
I'll check back on this thread, as I need this ghost OUT of my machine! ~ Jim

Popping sound after upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit

I recently upgraded my T61 with Windows 7, 64-bit. I added 2 GB of memory to take it to the max limit of 4GB. However, when I log off, I get a popping sound twice, and when I log in, I hear it once.
I was able to generate the same popping sound when I either mute or unmute the sound on my laptop.Also, when I plug in external speakers into the speaker plug, I get the popping sound as well.
Any idea as to why I'm experiencing this issue? Is there a driver issue? It's not affecting the performance of my laptop, but it is very annoying and didn't happen when I had 2 GB and Windows XP Professional (32-bit)
Thanks

Hello,
You mentioned that you upgraded the operating system to the 64-bit edition of Microsoft Windows 7. Did you install over a previous operating system, such as the 64-bit edition of Windows Vista, or perform a clean install of Windows 7?
