Macbook loses audio when removing headphones

Hello all. So i'm running full windows 7 on my macbook pro, with my OSX partition shrunk down to as small as i can get it. Initially, this setup worked well enough. but in the past few days, my audio has become super flaky and downright broken.
Whenever i remove my headphones, the audio would stop working. Itunes wouldn't play, no matter where in the song i was. I tried going into sounds and manually changing devices and that worked for a while for the speakers, but when i tried my headphones again, the audio continued to play through the speakers. Once again i tried going into the sound properties and changing the device to the headphones, but it was already busted. I will once again have to restart to get audio working.
is there something wrong with my build? With my OSX windows tools? Intentional Windows gimping on Apples part?? Whatever it is, it's rendering my machine utterly useless. if anyone could point me in the right direction (short of going back to OSX. That's not an option) I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Thanks,
-Michael

I don't even...why would you bother posting that?? Obviously, having already purchased the ridiculously expensive macbook pro, just "buying a computer built for windows" isn't an option. go troll somewhere else, thanks.

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5. I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s. However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call. I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss. The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens. All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:
This is a link to someone using the Motorola H19txt headset experiencing the same issue

If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:

Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue. I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web. Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

My Iphone5 was replaced and having same Problem. Only does this when using bluetooth for talking.

I have the exact same issue... I've been using a Jabra Extreme2 and just this weekend, bought a Plantronics Marque2 and today had the same issue, so it's clearly not the headset but the phone or OS.
I might try a restore and see if it helps...

Lose audio when watching movies

When I first started using ITunes and I downloaded movies they worked fine, I could watch the whole movie no problems. I think it was after perhaps the fourth movie I downloaded suddenly I started having audio issues. I'd get about 20 minutes into the movie and the audio when cut out and then go out all the way. I'd have to shut down itunes and come back about a half an hour later and I'd get another 20 minutes of the movie and then the audio would go out again. I have to do that thru the whole movie. I've done all the suggestions to fix it.....don't use the enhanced audio, reinstall Quicktime ect but nothing seems to be working.
Does anyone have any other suggestions I might be able to try?
Thanks

Same problem with all headphones and earbuds--just checked settings and Volume Limit was already off--starting to think it's a volume system flaw tied to videos and related sound. No problem getting plenty of sound volume for music, only videos.

No audio when using headphones.

Has anyone had issues when using headphones with the android maxx?

On every devices iPod etc. Usually it's the head phones and not the device it self. Try swapping them out. Wow after participating in Apple support forums for years. I have to feel bad for how bad Verizon is trashed! They, Verizon are a great carrier and the post I read are ridiculous! Verizon likely replaces more devices, simply because people don't understand the hardware or software.

How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro. I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done. Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

Slideshow Elements 9: Lose audio when creating a .pdf file from the slideshow

I created the slideshow in Elements 9. Works great. Created the .pdf and I lose the audio. I'm trying to send the slideshow via email so it can't be too huge, so I didn't consider the .wmv. In troubleshooting it mentioned removing the artwork as one potential issue and didn't get into detail as to the other problems could be. So I removed the artwork in Itunes from the .mp3. I converted from .mp3 to .wav to see if that made a difference. Neither helped. I was able to create the .pdf of a slideshow with audio in Elements 7. What do I do to make it work?
Trying to get this figured out to send the slideshow for Christmas so any help/suggestions are appreciated...13 days to go

Sorry for the late reply. Have you been able to send the file?
However, i created a slideshow with a mp3 file and when i output the same into pdf format, it just played fine with the music i applied while creating.
Can you mention the number and size of the files that you used to create the slideshow.
Just to add, you can also create online albums with various templates like christmas and many more and can share them with friends.

Sometimes lose audio when changing modes SB X-FI Titanium HD

When I change between game and entertainment, sometimes I lose all audio until I reboot. I have a SB X-FI Titaium HD and use DTS encoding. Also for some reason any time I reboot or change modes my receiver goes into "stereo" mode, and I have to manually change it back to DTS. Normally stereo signals show up as Pro Logic mode, and normally it detects DTS/DD and changes by itself. Any Idea why I'm losing sound, or what is kicking my Onkyo receiver into STEREO mode? I still hear the DTS, just only on left and right, downmixed. Once I manually change to DTS it works fine. Had this receiver for 7 years or so, and the only time I have ever seen it just say STEREO before is if I push the "stereo" button.

In fact, whenever the sound loss occurs, if i try to so much adjust any sound related stuffs i.e. changing speaker settings, muting or adjusting volumes (sometimes), my pc locks up. If i'm quick enough to shut the pc down before a lock up, the pc gets stuck at the shut down screen.
Same problem + BSOD, when i try adjust any sound related settings.
I tried to use the contact form with the main site, but "send" button does not work.
Where does this problem come from?. A year ago everything was fine, it began on the rise since the end of summer. And do not use latest nvidia 285.62 drivers with latest x-fi drivers, If you had previously lost sound, with them even worse(video drivers works fine, but the sound drivers?, well, you know), the sound began to disappear almost every hour, use the older 275.xx series and below.

Speaker when removing headphones

When i am having a call with my headphones on,if i removed the headphones the call is on speaker,how can i turn off this?

It sounds like you have a downloaded app that's causing this in that case. An old version of Google Chrome could cause this for example.
Try swiping running apps from recent apps and see if you can find the app causing it.

Lose audio when converting avi to mp4 on quicktime

I've read the discussions on this but can't find a fix so far.
When I try and convert an avi file to mp4 using either quicktime or MPEG Streamclip, I lose the audio. I don't believe I need to download the quicktime mpeg-2 component for mac osx given I have 10.9.1, but perhaps I do (there is debate on this and I'm confused)?
I tried downloading MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b8 but it seems to want that component to attach itself. Should I therefore buy it - will it work?
Alternatively, should I buy quicktime 7 pro? I really don't want to.
Can somebody help...please?

So I made a successful and audio distortion free ACC/AAC mpeg4 (.MP4) video from Sony Vegas for the Ziio. You are given a choice of audio (I chose 92kbps). The problem is solved. No more distortions. And all this time I was doing twice the work by importing the MPEG- files into Any Video Recorder and converting to .MP4. That was the distortion result. Hope this helps if you're doing the same kind of work by combining video and audio. Otherwise, it's up to you...

MacBook loses internet when it sleeps

I'm trying to help a friend with a MacBook problem. I've tried some things suggested in other posts (restarting router, repair permissions, etc.) with no luck. Two iPhones and my MacBook Air connect to the internet just fine. Whenever this MacBook wakes from sleep, Safari says it is not connected to the Internet. I click on Network Diagnostics button (on the Safari Error Page) and go thru the process, just clicking "continue" at each page ... at the end it says the connection is fine, and it is. The internet is then available just fine until the MacBook goes to sleep again, then it loses the connection and we have to go through the diagnostics again. The setup is an AT&T 2-Wire Router which connects to the Internet and creates the wireless network. I should also mention the Airport Express which he uses for Airtunes also stopped working (won't connect to the wireless network). The MacBook is running 10.5.8. BTW, this started happening after the hard drive was recently replaced by Apple at the local Apple store. Nothing else has changed.

This any help?

The AE probably just needs to be reset back to factory settings (you know, complete reset, where its name becomes "Apple Network ------" and then add it back into the network - fairly simple process.

Video loses audio when using transitions

On my band's website, I frequently post videos of us rehearsing or playing at a show. Before I upload the videos, I bring them into iMovie, add a simple fade in and fade out to the beginning and end, and then save them compressed so that they download faster. I've never had a problem with this before.
Today, I tried to work on some new clips. For some reason, the fade ins and fade outs are fading the video correctly, but not the audio. Instead, the audio simply drops out during the length of the transition; it then jumps back in at 100% when the transition is complete.
I turned on "show clip volume levels" in the timeline and the volume on the transition is shown to be fading in gradually, starting at 0% and ending at 100% right before the main clip. That's correct, and that's how it's always looked in the past, except now when I play it back, the actual volume stays at 0% during the transition.
I've tried everything I could think of to fix this, with no luck. I tried importing the video separately instead of pulling it out of my iPhoto library, changing the length of the transition, using a different video file, using different transitions, etc. Nothing works. Furthermore, the problem sticks when I export the video to QuickTime, so it's not an issue just with previewing the video in iMovie. It's also persisted even after quitting and relaunching iMovie, and rebooting the computer entirely.
The only way I've been able to get around it is by selecting the video, extracting the audio, and then manually fading the audio in/out so that it matches the length of the video fade in/out. While this works, it's more work, takes more time, isn't as precise since I have to manually do it, and is totally unnecessary! The transitions are supposed to automatically apply to both the video AND its audio!
Any ideas? Please help - I have a iMovie project due on Monday and I will need to use these effects!

That's the right thing to do in this case (as you found out). But, it may be that this is a one time problem and the next video will work fine...
