My AppleTV 3 makes a horrid noise over the speakers when I play movies in Netflix.
This problem just started and it seems to be only on certain videos. For example: all of the episodes in Season 1 of Dexter work just fine, but as soon as you try to play season 2, it makes this horrible rattling noise like a rattle snake and no other audio comes out. Has anyone else had this problem? I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, but to no effect.
Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.

When I play movies from Netflix via Apple TV, the picture quality is like a color movie from 1960. When I play Netflix on the computer or Iphone, I have no quality problem. Also, the movie plays for 4 minutes, then freezes and download for another 5 minutes before continuing. The signal strenght on Apple TV show 3 boxes out of five. I have the Apple TV set up about 30 feet from my Airport, separated with drywall walls and on hardwood floor. I tried to find the answer of my problem on the Apple troubleshooting site without success. Finally, I am trying to download an updated software for my Apple TV and Apple TV tells me there 4 hours left to the download; is that normal?
I did the SPEEDTEST, and my download is 25Mbs. My connection should not be the problem. I use Shaw cable with HIGH SPEED INTERNET. If I watch it on my computer or Iphone, the picture quality is excellent. The problem is the communication between my Airport and my Apple TV. At the store, the guaranteed me there would be no problem anywhere in the house. As I mentionned earlier, the signal has to travel between walls and floor. I get only 3 boxes out of five for signal strenght. I moved my AppleTV 3 feet from my Airport and I donèt have anymore problems; image quality or download speed. But of course, I do not want my AppleTV beside my computer. The reason I bought it is to be able to watch Netflix and my computer content on my TV in the family room. That was the whole purpose, but the AppleTV does not work well at that distance. I may as well bring it back to the store and continue to rent BD dvds.

My 24" IMac freezes and makes a popping sound in the speakers. What could be wrong?
Good afternoon
I have an early 2008 24" imac, 2.8GHz Intel cor 2 duo, mountnain lion 10.8.2. From time to time it suddenly stops, and makes a popping noise from the speakers and then the computer is frozen, i have to press the power button. This is now happening more often, at first i thought it might be flash as it use to happen on youtube videos, but today it froze whilst usling skype.
I read on the forms, but my problem is not exactly as the ones on forums.
Does anyone have this problem? Could it be the harddrive failing. I did a clean install of mountain lion last night and it happened still, the hard drive is a 320gb Hitatchi
Thanks
I have included a youtube link of what it looks and sounds like.
http://youtu.be/jBo9g2Z8U0EYou should try whats called a smc reset, look up HT3964 it should help, what you do is turn the imac off unplug the power cord from the back and hold down the power button for about 15 seconds then release and plug it back in.
If that doesnt work try a pram reset, HT1379, just google the number and it will pull up. -
I have installed the new OS X Yosemite on my macbook pro and now my FaceTime is causing problems. I can make and receive calls, the recipient can hear me, but I can't hear them. All I can hear is a crackling noise. The speakers work fine for everything else.
Got the same problem – even after the upgrade to OSX 10.10.1. A restart usally helps. Even though the calls sometimes drop I got no crackling noise problem on iOS, though.

Make a rattling noise near the camera
Make a rattling noise near the camera. Is it normal?
There is nothing inside the iPhone that is helped by shaking. In the iPhone you may here the camera focusing and making a sound like a rattle. You may also have a loose part that you hear when shaking.
If concerned, take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians check it for you.
At any rate, shking will not make your iPhone any better so is not a good thing to be doing. -
My imessage stopped working over the wknd when I went to check if it was on it had switched off on its own. Now I try to turn my imessage back on and its giving me some kind of server error. Any suggestions?
Ok actually my mistake it says "an error occurred during activation. try again" I spoke with apple tech support right now and she mentioned they are having trouble with there servers. Do you by any chance know what the restrictions area means? Should that be activated or deactivated, does that make a difference?

Hissing noise from the speakers
hi mates,
i hear a hissing sound from the internal speakers whenever the system tries to play sound through the internal speaker, be it a system sound or playing my music, or just by opening a application that may play music, i get this hissing sound before a system sound and this hissing noise continues for some time after the sounds are stopped playing, i get this hissing noise even when i change volume of the speakers. i dont get it through the headphones. the strange thing is i get this hissing noise even if i play a movie when my speakers are muted.
i went through this forum, some members have adviced to reset the pram, smc, reinstall the os, friends i tried all these but still i continue with this problem.
my macbook is brand new and just a week old.
i am really worried about this problem.hi sailor,
contacted apple phone support, unfortunately apple care number is not free in australia.
first time it took 17min and was not able to contact a technician coz credits in my mobile ran out.
second time it took 25min. i explained all the issues
told them i reset the pram, smc and reinstalled the OS and still i hear the hissing noise.
they replied that speakers may make a hissing noise if the macbook is on battery, but the noise should be very low and it should not be audible, if the noise is audible and loud, they suspect its a hardware failure, i got my case id and will be taking it to the nearest service center here, for them to have a look.
so if u have a macbook that is under warranty dont hesitate to contact them. i guess even refurbished macbooks bought in online store also have a 1yr warranty.

I'm confused about sound on my iPad 2. I know it has speakers and it makes sounds for notifications, etc. But when I play the Time Warner TV app, there is no sound. Do I need to buy speakers or headphones?
Here is my situation, iPad 1 Time Warner app works fine with or without headphones, ipad2 I can unplug headphones and it works but when headphones are plugged in I can barely hear it even cranked up, my husbands ipad2 works fine with both so what that tells me is that there is something physically possibly programmed differently. It really makes no sense. I might just take my ipad2 back and swap it out. It is weird all the other sound through the iPad comes through on headphones and speakers fine. You are not alone with your time Warner app sound issues.

I can't get my headphones to work. When I plug them in, the speakers continue to play.
There is a mechanical switch that when pressed in switches over to headphone jack.
It is inside the jack.
Try pushing the headphones all the way in. -
When I play movies on MPlayerX the audio delays and when on VLC its pixilated?, When I play movies on MPlayerX the audio delays and when on VLC its pixilated?
My Macbook Pro is 15-inch, Early 2011
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
running on OS X 10.9.1
100GB freeWilly, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

How do you stop hearing your self on the speakers when using the m
I play alot of online gamming and its hard to hear others when i hear myself talking....how do i get around this i just bought the Blaster Li've 24 bit ......product part number: 70SB04000000
I thank you for your time and help......DragonAs jmb78 mentions, you can just mute the microphone in the Surround Mixer, in the blue slider. As long as it's still selected in the slider for recording (red) then it will still transmit or record the signal, you just won't hear it over the speakers.
The Surround Mixer is included with the drivers/software.
