My Speakers Sometimes "Cut Out" or "Mute"

I have a few sets of Inspire T3100s hooked up to my TV in various locations around my living room. I also have an old pair of Logitech, which work brilliantly. It's only the Creatives giving me trouble. One or both speakers will often cut out. It's not just one set. Both sets do it so I don't think it's a connection problem or faulty speakers. Any ideas?

Hi Cancer1985,
I understand you are having issue with the speakers not working all the time. I was wondering if the next time it happens see if you can play music. Some sites do have issues with sound. If you have checked your drivers and all is well, I think it is with the sites. Here is a link on tips for fixing common sound problems.

New wireless speakers keep cutting out through bluetooth on mac whenever i receive an e-mail?

Hi i have recently purchased some new Ruark MR1 wireless speakers from John lewis for my home,I have tried them in all rooms but whenever i switch from youtube to my itunes playlist or even just receive an email they cut out? This is now a replacement set of speakers as john lewis thought they may be faulty but the same problem occurs. I have updated my bluetooth changed settings every way possible as advised by people but still no joy,very annoying as these were very expensive and to have to keep reconnecting them constantly defeats the object of having these wireless speakers.
I would appreciate any help or advice!

I think that the manufacturer is your best source. Perhaps there is some incompatibility.....

External speakers keep cutting out

Using Harman Kardon sound stick USB speakers on my mac book and they keep cutting out after about 1:08 of use. It happens with all audio sources (itunes, online streaming etc.) and works immediately if I unplug and re-insert into the USB port.
On the sound settings, the "USB Sticks" stays highlighted as the source. The internal speakers do not come on when the sound stick speakers cut out, but do so when I unplug them from the USB port.
This problem just started out of the blue after years of flawless use, no software updates. Happens on both of my USB ports. Tried re-starting, didn't help.
So frustrated.

When Recording with DAE, recording sometimes cuts out...

but not all the time - it appears random. Playback will continue, but when I stop playback, the recording stopped somewhere in the middle of recording. It only happens occasionally but of course it's a pain. No error messages appear.
Is it because I only have Protools 7.1cs6?
I'm using Logic 8.0.1 on a Dual G5 2.7 on OS 10.4.10, 4G Ram.
Thanks for any tips,
Regards,
Ken

1. try changing the settings under Preferences/Audio/Devices/DAE: PT HD-Type to at least 64 tracks (2 DSP´s); for me that helped
2. also problems can cause if you have instanciated EXS24 TDM Instruments, so if my first tip doesn´t help, try this

Need help with my Facetime. The Audio cuts out when I open the app, only on my Macbook though.

I've noticed this problem since I upgraded to Yosemite. My Facetime app does not work. Either I will connect someone and I will constantly hear the ringing of a facetime call even after the call has been answered, or my speakers will cut out and we won't be able to hear each other.
Can anyone help me out?

First take the steps described in the comment of texasgrape1 in this discussion. If there's no change, see below.
Open the Sound preference pane and select the Input tab. Make sure the microphone you're trying to use is selected and that there's a response on the volume meter when you speak into it. If any other sound input devices are shown in the device list, what are they?

Bluetooth audio cutting out

The bluetooth connection for all audio speakers is cutting out - especially when scrolling through email and web browser. I'm on a MacBook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2010. The issue of bluetooth cutting out started after loading Yosemite (now 10.10.1.). It doesn't matter what speaker I'm connected to via bluetooth or the distance between the computer and speaker. While listening to any streaming audio - from any source (web, iTunes, etc.), when I type or scroll through email or browse the web, the audio cuts out on the bluetooth speaker. Is there something I can do to fix the connection issue?

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear, and then again as you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Sound cuts out on Satellite c655d-s5300

Sound keeps cutting out, started a week ago, if I go to control panel: sound: and click on recording, the sound returns for a few more minutes. Anyone know why this is happening and a way to fixit? Tried uninstalling/reinstalling the driver and a system restore, nothing has worked yet.
Running Winders 7-64.

I am having the same issue. In my case I have a Satellite C655D S5202 and have tried re-installing the Conexant audio driver as well as a Realtek driver. I've even deleted the driver and let Microsofts driver take over... that makes the issue worse (no audio at all through the speakers).
Whenever I play music, watch a video or anything that uses the speakers it cuts out. I can adjust the volume and the speakers play audio for another minute or so.
If anybody knows a fix or even a cause for this it would really help.

Inspire 5500 - Speakers Cut Out?

Hello... I'm using the excellent Inspire 5500 speakers, but occasionally one of the speakers, usually front center, just cuts out. If you pull the power and plug it back in (a simple off/on doesn't work) it'll come back. But sometimes when I turn the system on, or more speakers won't work and I need to unplug it from the mains and plug it back in. Last night, the front left, center and woofer failed to work when I turned them on. 3 plug cycles later they were all kicking again.
Anyone know why this is happening? It's plugged into a fairly new Sony DVD player via the Digital Coaxial input...

Hi there
The same thing has started happening to me.
When I switch on, the front right speaker does not come on. Only way to get it back on, is unplug the power connector from the back of the decoder and then plug it back in. As you say, a simple switch on/off does nothing.
I've been using this set up with a PC for the best part of two years now and I've changed nothing recently. I've also checked all connections and wires are sound and plugged firmly in.
My guess is that it's something wrong with the amplifier in the sub-woofer. Unless anyone else has any suggestions?

ITunes audio cuts out on computer speakers and AirPlay device.

When I have iTunes (10) playing and am using both my computer speakers and an AirPlay device (speaker in another room), the sound completely cuts out on both speakers repeatedly. The song will show that it's still playing, so I'll hit pause and play again, then the audio comes back both on the computer and the separate speaker.
This problem is separate from the audio occasionally cutting out on ONLY the AirPlay device, as I assume that's a wireless connection issue. Why the audio would cut out on my computer, I can't understand.

Similar issue here - two sets of speakers connected to 2x Airport Express (N), which in turn are connected wirelessly to an Airport Extreme base station. My iTunes library resides on a Drobo which is connected by Firewire to a MacMini which is connected by ethernet to the Airport Extreme base station.
Sometimes the sound will cut out on the airplay speakers while still playing in iTunes, but hitting pause then play on my iPhone or iPad remote resolves this (but it is irritating).
Occasionally iTunes will lose connectivity to the Airplay speakers, and to resolve I have to go into iTunes and deselect then select the Airplay speakers. I usually get an error message when this happens, something like 'unable to connect to airplay'.
Not really major issues but very irritating nonetheless. For my money the issue is with Airport somewhere... My firmware is up to date so maybe it is something to do with interference on my wireless channel (from other wireless devices, microwaves etc).

Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.
Before your standard warranty runs out especially if you do not have Apple Care, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP if the above does not work or any other suggestions you get do not work.
If in fact you do have Apple Care, call them and get a case#.

I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

Front earphone plug does not cut out speakers or plays any sound

I have an HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7480n Desktop Pc. I upgraded to Windows 7 32. After install the front earphone plug no longer cuts out the speakers or plays any sound. I updated all the Realtek drivers. In Realtek HD Audio manager the green and pink front plugs are light color. I tried both the advanced settings to play back devices. Neither work. I had the front plug and the headphones checked out and both are functioning. I have been using the rear plug for my headphones and switch plugs with my speakers when I need them. I miss my front plug. Any Ideas?

Hi CanadaDry,
You probably just need to update either your audio driver or your chipset directly from the component manufacturer. I'd start with the audio driver first if everything else on your PC is working after the upgrade. But if there are other things not quite right like USB ports not working, then I would install the chipset driver update too.
Your PC has a Realtek Audio Device, so here is a link to the Realtek downloads:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
Select "High Definition Audio Codecs", accept the agreement, and then download and install the Win 7 32bit driver.
If that doesn't work, here is a link to the Intel 945P Chipset driver for Win 7:

I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

Airport Express: am playing my stereo speakers but it continually cuts out

Have set-up Airport Express and music is playing through the stereo speakers (and/or via my computer speakers) but the music continually cuts out every couple of seconds on both the stereo and my computer

Thanks, Tesserax. I'll need to try headphones directly into the Airport Express tonight, but I'm guessing there won't be any static that way.
I'm actually streaming the AX to an Apple TV (2nd gen.), which connects to my receiver via HDMI. After playing around with it a bit more last night, I've determined that the interference is definitely from the wifi network. The static is most pronounced whenever data is passing over the network (i.e., when I am loading a website on my laptop, when I'm accessing my iTunes library over the ATV, etc.). So, as strange as it might sound, it appears that my receiver has started picking up electromagnetic interference from my AX wifi network.
This leads me to believe that it's a shielding issue with either the AX or the receiver. I've certainly heard of people experiencing faulty shielding in receivers, but has anyone ever heard of shielding issues with the AX? Unfortunately, I don't have an extra wireless router or receiver lying around, so I can't easily switch them out to see which one is the culprit. Any suggestions?

I use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically. a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

i use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically. a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

Wireless Speakers Cutting Out with Extreme

Hi - Connected up my Audioengine A2 speakers to my Airport Extreme so I could play my iTunes library around my dinning room, but the connection seems to drop out intermittently!
It works fine initially, all set up correctly on Airport / iTunes, I even use my Touch as a remote but it keeps cutting out like there is a connection issue.
Have tested the speakers on a wired source with no problems so it suggests there is an Airport Extreme problem!
Anyone had a similar issue?
Cheers John

I cant see how. The only devices near the Extreme or the speakers is the 2 way power adaptor which the Extreme and the A2 speakers are plugged into.
I checked the connections which all seem fine!
Thanks for you reply anyway.
John
