Music drop outs / stutter when listening to MP3s or Internet Radio with Verizon Media Manager

Does anybody know when I play MP3s or listen to Internet Radio I'm getting slight drop out or stutter?
I just downloaded and installed the Verizon Media Manager on a machine running Windows 7.
Any help would be appreciated.

Found this answer on DSLReports...
"This problem has reported before. It's a problem with the audio driver for 7XXX boxes that was introduced with IMG 1.9a. It also impacts iHeart radio and Pandora streaming. It is supposed to be fixed in 1.9.1, which is due sometime in the next decade."

Apple AirPort Express - Streaming Music on iTunes - Frequent Music Drop out

*Apple AirPort Express - Streaming Music on iTunes - Frequent Music Drop outs*
I have just purchased an Apple AirPort Express for the sole use of streaming music from my laptop to my home cinema system.
My system has bundles of power (Core 2 Duo, 3gb RAM, 320gb hard disk, Intel-N WiFi) and is running Windows Vista Premium. I am using the latest version of iTunes (version 8) and have it setup to play through remote speakers. I have my AirPort Express connected to my home cinema system.
When I play music on iTunes through ONLY my computer speakers I have no problem with drop outs.
However, when I play music through either (1) my AirPort Express or (2) multiple speakers (i.e. the AirPort Express and my computer speakers together) I experience frequent and unbelievably annoying drop outs in the music stream.
I have determined this has nothing to do with interference with the wireless signal and believe this is something to do with iTunes - the reason being the drop outs occur in BOTH the computer speakers AND the AirPort Express speakers (when I select multiple speakers) but does not occur when I select ONLY the computer speakers.
Please could you provide some advice on this as I am unable to use the AirPort!
Many thanks
Elliot

You don't say which Airport Express you are using and what its settings are.
There are two Airport Express models. The original model works on 802.11b/g on 2.4 GHz. The later model can do 802.11n on 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz. My experience is that interference when using the 2.4 GHz band creates drop-outs when sending audio from iTunes to an Airport Express. I now have an 802.11n network on 5.0 GHz and no longer have drop-outs. I also have a 2.4 GHz 802.11g network for my iPhone and other devices that can't do 802.11n. They are connected to each other by ethernet.
Interference on 2.4 GHz occurs because a lot of people nearby have wireless networks too. You may not notice the interference when doing other network activity that is not time dependant but it shows when streaming music. Using a utility like iStumbler or AirRadar I can see I am the only one using the 5.0 GHz band in range of my computer.

ATV2 music drops out after 2-3 songs, withou fail. Restarted/rebooted everything and my router shows no signal drops, suspect it is the home sharing but can't get into it to fix it. Am at my wits end.

Recently bought the ATV2, all working well until 2-3 songs played and it drops out and returns to the main menu. I have rebooted/restarted everything, and checked the event log in my router which shows no drop outs in WiFi connection. When I tested it with a movie, it worked, ran for the length of the movie, but when I put on music it did it again. Suspect problem is software, maybe the home sharing and the time until it drops out is close to the same each time. I am at a complete loss, and at my wits end. Please help

Did you happen to allow enough time for a power recycle when switching the router connected to your DSL modem?
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, Internet Router, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the Internet Router; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)

Music dropping out via airtunes

Hi all, more probs with the AX for Airtunes - i'm getting constant and very irritating drop outs when i play music through my stereo via Airtunes. Any ideas? There are a fair few wireless networks running in my building and i was wondering if that's blocking the channels. If anyone else has had similar problems please let me know. I'm also running Limewire quite heavily. Cheers..

I must say that this problem is both persistent and apparently pervasive. I, and others in this forum, are able to stream music via AirTunes--for a while. Then quite suddenly the music stops; on occasion it will resume without intervention. I have the following configuration:
MacBook Pro (2.33 GHz)
Airport Express (6.3 firmware version)
Airport Base Station
G5 connected to base station via Ethernet
Closed network with WPA2 Personal security
No WDS; Internet robustness turned on
Signal strength at or near maximum
I live in an apartment building with several wireless networks visible
I connect to the Internet via the building's high-speed fiber network
I have configured my wireless devices and software several different ways; none prevent the sudden cutouts in music streaming. I have the latest updates of all relevant software. My phone works on the 5.8 GHz frequency.
I suspect, but cannot confirm, that the cause of the problem is 2.4 GHz interference from neighbors' phones. If this is the case, then I don't know what I can do--other than acquire the new Airport Extreme (which I've ordered) and configure it to operate on the 5 GHz frequency.
By the way, I'm now streaming music from iTunes using Airfoil (http://rogueamoeba.com/). It has briefly cut out once while I've been typing this post, which would suggest that the problem is interference rather than hardware or software related. (Note: My daughter, who lives in a house, recently set up an Airport Express for her laptops. She has experienced no problems with cut outs.)
Open to any suggestions and observations.

Music drops out on DVD

I am using iDVD 3 and when burning the audio drops out of the imported tracks. Only the audio on the original footage remains. This happens consistently - what can i do?

If you're using music purchased from the iTunes music store, it will play fine in iMovie, but Apple's copy protection process prevents it from being burned to DVD using iDVD. There is a workaround (burn a playlist to CD and re-import) if this is your problem.

New version airport express and music drop-outs

Does the new version of Airport Express (802.11n) solve the problem of AirTunes audio stream drop-outs? My existing Express suffered so badly, I stopped using it!

Can report back that the new Express is fantastic. No more dropouts. Gand set it to work on N only and it is great having the same music in the kitchen as in the living room. have now sold my 2 old units. Next purchase Timecapsule.

Airport Express Frequent Music Drop-out

Looks like this is a standard, mostly unfixable feature with this. Great.
Anyway - laptop inside on wireless, hooked via AUX to stereo receiver, sending to AE outside hooked to other receiver.
Music plays, but drops out (volume down) frequently. We have cordless phones, no base stations that near. Microwave wasn't on.
Any ideas for troubleshooting?

Ok, thanks for clarifying your current network configuration for me. What is important is to understand the path the audio stream must take to get to the AirPort Express.
Basically, it will be: Laptop >>> AirPort Extreme >>> AirPort Express > Audio Receiver, where ">>>" represents a wireless connection, and ">" represents a wired one.
For the wireless connections, distance, other (non-audio streaming) network traffic, & Wi-Fi interference (cordless phones, walls, other Wi-Fis broadcasting nearby, etc.) will play a toll on the overall bandwidth available left for streaming.
I would suspect the bandwidth will be the least between the two AirPorts. One simple test would be to calculate the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at the location of the Express. SNR (in dB) = Signal (in dBm) - Noise (in dBm). You will want SNR to be 25+ dB. You will want to take the measurements with the Express powered-off so that you will be calculating the SNR for the Extreme only at this location.
You can easily obtain the Signal & Noise values (if your laptop is a Mac) from System Profiler.

Audio issues. Static burst when listening to MP3s. ETA on fix.

Hi,
I am using a Line 6 Toneport. It is essentially a USB sound card.
Somewhere between 10.4.9 and updated to the latest, 10.4.11, I now hear static bursts when multitasking.
I assumed this was a driver issue with the Line 6 device so I decided to use the built in audio output and noticed a similar issue. Light multitasking will cause static bursts or droup-outs depending on what I am doing. Even something like checking email or launching word while listening to an MP3. This was never the case before.
Steps I tried.
1. Uninstalled and reinstalled latest Toneport drivers. no difference
2. Formatted and reinstalled Tiger 10.4.9 got all the updates and installed latest drives for the Toneport. Slight improvement
3. Upgraded from 1GB to 4 GB of RAM (I was going to do this anyway) no change
4. Upgraded to solid state harddrive (I was going to do this anyway) no change
5. Formatted then installed Leopard, all the updates, and latest Tone Port drivers. Problem solved.
New Problem. Everything runs like crap on Leopard compared to tiger. Any ETA on a Tiger Update?
PS can somebody please explain the benefit or Leopard? Don't even tell me Time Machine. Seriously, has anybody done any benchmarking on this system compared to Tiger. It is a complete pig and slow as ****.

Hi.
PS can somebody please explain the benefit or Leopard?
No advantage to me. I equate OSX to a TV Remote, but in Leopard you give to somebody else for exclusive use.
I doubt Tiger will get anything but maybe some Security updates.

My music drops volume level when I get a notification, and won't return to the volume level it was set at until I get another notification

When ever I get notification from fb/messenger/emails, my music volume lowers by some margin, and will not return to the set level until I receive another notification. I try attempting to turn it up but the volume is at its highest limit.
How can this be fixed? Is anyone else having this problem?

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking theDevices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.

Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

AirTunes drops out only when I have visitors

My AirTunes works great most of the time. But as soon as I have a few people over, it starts cutting out randomly, enough that I have to turn it off. Several of my friends have decided to use other technologies to play music without CDs as a result. Meanwhile, what can I do? Is it their cell phones? Is it just interference from human bodies?
I have interference robustness checked.

Thanks for your post. My network is like this:
In my office, I have an old (2004?) Airport base station connected by ethernet to a cable modem, and by USB to a printer. Clients using this network for internet access include my pre-Intel PowerMac (in the office, running iTunes), my 2002 Flat Panel iMac running 10.3.x (in the kitchen, connected via aftermarket USB wireless dongle), and my wife's new-ish MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.7). Between the base station and the Airport Express (802.11n) is one wall, but in that wall is a fireplace with lots of brick and stone. Direct distance is about 25 feet.
I'm running the network as b/g compatible. The base station is configured as "create wireless network" and the express is configured as "join wireless network." Using channel 11. WEP 128 bit security. Multicast rate 11 Mbps. Transmit power 100%. No cordless phones or baby monitors in the house. Am I missing any details?

Is there any way to get sound from rear speakers and subwoofer when listening to MP3s

I have Logitech 4. speakers connected to a SoundBlaster Li've 5. card. The front speakers work great, but even when I run tests, I get nothing from the other three. Any ideas?

I am having the exact same problem when running through my Sony digital reciever. I have checked the CMSS box and the spdif passthrough mode and still only getting stereo

Airport express: how to stop music dropping out

Have been using an airport express version 7.6.3, 1st generation, for over a year without problems, but for about a week now, it is cutting in and out. Any advice on how to fix this?

Yes, the problem became more fequent and bothersome in the past week, but I suppose it have started, albeit less noticeably, after the last update earlier this spring. Anyway, working fine now, and fingers crossed, will continue to do so.
By the way, helpful advice on how to easily switch between versions is included here: http://9to5mac.com/2013/02/11/apple-airporttime-capsule-7-6-3-update-breaks-ipv6 -tunneling-fix-is-downgrading/
