[MBA 2013]sound crashes and restart after a few seconds

Hi guys,
I bought a Macbook Air in June 2013 and 2-3 months ago, I started having problems with the sound.
Basically, there is always one of those things running : iTunes, VLC or youtube/soundcloud so I always use the sound.
After some time, the sound is strange like it is dying. After a few seconds, it stops working and then I have to wait around 5-10 seconds for it to be automatically restarted. I don't have headphone or anything plugged in and no external sound card.
All my drivers are up to date and I have the last Mac OS X version (10.9.4 I think).
Does anybody know what I should do ? Format it ? Uninstall all the software like Boom, Accubeatmix (maybe they cause the problem but I've used them since I have the MBA).
I am used to using linux commands in a terminal if there is some dirty things to fix that so feel free to share those.
Thanks.

I uninstalled Boom and it seems to work now. Strange that it worked without any problem for a long time.
I'll install it again and see what happens.
Thanks.

    My iphone 4s turns off and restarts itself a few seconds or minutes after when I establish a FaceTime call. I've tried "Restore iPhone" from iTunes but the same thing keeps happening. Any solution?

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Also, if this only happens with one Wi-Fi network, power cycle that Wi-Fi router.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order.

  • XBOX Music App for Windows 8 crashes and exits after a few seconds

    Upgraded to Windows 8 Pro today from Windows 7.  Everything seems to be working fine except for the music app.  Not long after I open the app it crashes and exits the app.  No errors, no warnings, etc.....  Any ideas????

    Hi,
    Sounds like this is caused by the software conflicts, does it occur when you disable all background
    third-party service and programs?
    Or try to test with another account to check how it works.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch.  So, I replace them.  I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings".  I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds.

    Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch.  So, I replace them.  I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings".  I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds.  I have used itunes to restore and also recover.  Device will actually shut off and stay shut off if I leave it connected to the computer.  The moment I unplug (3 seconds) the apple logo appears, it boots, unlock screen appears, I can unlock and operate normally, unplugged or not.  Just cant get it to completely shut down unplugged.  Any thoughts?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
      - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Maybe you installed a bad component or damaged something during the repair/replacement.
    Apple will not help since you worked on the iPod yourself.

  • When I first plug in my power cord it lights up green and then after a few seconds changes to red.  What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    When I first plug in my power cord it lights up green and then after a few seconds changes to red.  What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Apple systems in MBP have self-maintaining charging systems.  If the battery is less than 95%, the charger light turns orange when plugged it.  It will charge to 100% and stay green then will hold on charging until the battery drops to 95% again.

  • Sound from videos stops after a few seconds on Quicktime

    I bought a new Samsung camera and took some videos at a concert. When I put the videos on my MacBook Pro and try to play them on Quicktime, the sound stops after a few seconds. When I try to play them on iMovie or use them in iMovie, not only is there no sound after a few seconds but the sound that is there is sped up.
    The audio works fine in VLC but doesn't seem to work with anything else on my Mac. I've tried Perian, Flip4Mac...
    Codecs: H.264, AAC
    Help?

    I've seen this issue in the past.  I think it is connected to the operating system itself.  I say this because I reinstalled the os using itunes and then restored a backup.  Then garageband started behaving again.  Then the issue came back - after I did an os update.  So I'd try reverting back to a fresh version of the latest os, and then restoring your apps using a backup.
    Hope it helps

  • MBA 2013 screen crash and suddenly battery drains

    Hello, I bought MacBook Air November 2013 in India. I am facing the same problem in my MBA after 6-7 days of buying date. Since it is my first device from Apple so I am following all instructions by the reseller and service center persons.
    First I spoke to the reseller, he suggested me sometimes due to third party apps it may happen. When it happened again then he suggested me to go to service center. In between that I joined the discussion on Apple support community and started to get the comments about this issue. Then I chatted online with apple persons they instructed me to check settings of SMC and PRAM and suggested to go to service center. Then after, 3 times I have taken my MBA to service center:
    1st time: they changed the settings in it and gave back to me by saying to observe the problem.
    I observed it for 2 days and problem occurred. I informed to service center.
    2nd time: they kept it for 4 days with them to observe and gave it back by saying that we have fresh installed the Mac OS10.9 since this issue was due to I have updated the Mac OS from 10.9 to 10.9.1
    Within 4-5 days it happened again with one more problem of showing battery drain significantly by spot light. I continued to observe these issues for few more occurrences. In between that again I chatted with apple person and discussed both the issues.... amazing... again he told me the same settings as previously and observe.
    3rd time: I took it to service center and told compete issue about the discussion with apple persons too. They kept it for two days and simply said that we have to chat with Apple technicians then only we say something. They chatted with Apple technicians and suggested me to keep the machine as it is till the Apple people update the firmware… When I asked… How much time it will take…? They said, “Do not know”!
    Interesting point is that in front of service center person I showed this issue how screen crashes and how the battery drains happening and showing energy used significantly by spotlight. Even then those persons told me to wait for firmware update by Apple.
    After take from service center, one more thing is happening with my MBA if I put my finger in front of webcam brightness of display goes dim. I do not know, how the service center persons are dealing?
    When I asked to replace it or upgrade it to another machine then they simply raise their hand and we can do nothing for this. And told you have to speak with Apple persons
    Now what to do? I am helpless…!!!

    After take from service center, one more thing is happening with my MBA if I put my finger in front of webcam brightness of display goes dim. I do not know, how the service center persons are dealing?
    Thats 100% normal, thats auto-dim as it senses the light. All of them do that.
    As for the rest, your Air is in for service, this is a users board, contact Apple Inc. about any issues regarding your service calls.

  • Finder crashing and restarting after 10.6.1

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded to 10.6.1 and got a nice little surprise. Finder crashes every time I try to do something. I get two blue screens, then my desktops shows normally, then I click on anything, blue screens again, and the loop goes on and on. I'm booting into the installer disk now to repair disk permissions.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    I'm calling Apple if this doesn't work.

    Excellent!
    If your apps functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.

  • I accidently pulled the cable out when syncing. Now my ipod automatically restarts after a few seconds. What do I do?

    Please help
    I accidently pulled the cable out when syncing. Now my ipod automatically restarts. What do i do?

    OK, in that case a restore should fix things:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.

  • Mp3 restarting after a few seconds

    I have a site with a LOT of short mp3 music clips to play.
    Currently what I built is working perfectly on my desktop,
    but when I play it online, it glitches.
    I assume there is a problem with the streaming somehow,
    but I don't know where to start to fix it.
    The glitches are:
    (1) a song starts to play, then a couple seconds in, it skips
    and starts over then plays all the way through.
    (2) sometimes if you click on a second song, when the second
    song skips (see glitch #1), the first song starts playing too so
    then they're both playing at the same time.
    It's in AS2, btw.
    The way it's currently built is I create a sound object
    and use loadSound to load each external mp3 into that object.
    There is a button for every song with a toggle switch inside
    the button.
    The script to play the song is on every button.
    (3) I do create the same sound object ("music") on every
    button.
    Would it be better to create the sound object once on frame1
    of the whole site
    and have every song that loads from external .swfs reference
    that existing sound object?
    Does it matter?
    I am quite prepared to completely rebuild it if anyone has a
    better structure for how to do this.
    You also may notice:
    (4) I also have a problem with the toggle button (glitchy,
    but fixing the music is more important).
    When you click on the second song, I can't figure out how to
    get the toggle on the first song
    to revert to it's usual "play" state.
    Thank you.

    FIXED!
    I put the code that creates the sound object on the first
    frame of the whole site.
    var music:Sound = new Sound();
    music.onLoad = function() {
    Then, on each place within the site where I have a button to
    start the mp3, I
    use loadSound into that "music" object created at the
    beginning.
    No more skipping.
    No more double playing.

  • MBPr 15" (early 2013) intermittent crashes and restarts, and occasional blank screen.

    My MBPr 15" which I use mainly for games (War Thunder etc) has recently started to crash intermittently, usually with an automatic restart and sometimes with a blank and black screen.   Also, on turning on the machine can sometimes get completely dead screen.
    Searching on forums it seems it could be related to the graphics cards and switching between integrated and discrete (nVidia 650).
    The machine is out of warranty so I took it to a techie who opened it up and said everything was ok inside, but I don't think he knew much about Macs.
    I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 but I dont think that is related as the machine also had the problem with Mavericks.
    Where to start?

  • TS1367 My PowerMac G5 will not start up. There is no startup chime, no display and the fans speed up and sound like and airplane after about 30 seconds. Can someone help?

    I push the power button, and it turns on, but there is no startup chime, no video display, and after 30 seconds, the fans spin up. Any ideas?

    G5 has these hardware issues:
    -- bad capacitors on logic board
    -- bad capacitors in power supply
    -- badly soldered video chip
    -- "There were several Mac models with flat panel displays that had bad displays.
         Most had serial numbers beginning with "W8"---the code for one specific factory.
         This affected PowerBooks as well. If that's the case, the rest of the computer
