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?

  • Midi Audio Cuts out when Playback tracks are triggered.

    Hi,
    I am having an issue where if I open Mainstage 2 and begin playing a Midi Sequence through a 3rd party Plug-in, the audio cuts out from the plug-in when I trigger my group of Playback tracks for the first time and only restarts when a new note is played. This is particularly a problem because the sound is arpegiated and continuous. 9 out of 10 times if I do it again right afterwards it will be fine without any issues at all. There was a time during rehearsal when it absolutely would not work, but I think a restart fixed it. CPU usage and memory usage do not seem to be the problem.
    So my question is, is it normal for it to do that on the first time? Is there any reason why it would not absolutely work that time during rehearsal. And lastly, is there anyway to make it just work every time!
    I have tried reading up on this, and from what I understand, putting each playback track on a separate patch might help. My issue with that is I have already designed a layout that fits everything on one screen in one patch. I don't want to be switching screens during a song to adjust levels for the playback tracks. I have One Vocal, One Midi Synth, 8 playback tracks, and 3 Aux strips.
    I am new to mainstage and might not completely understand how to make a set work with patches, but from what I understand if I put the playback tracks on different patches I can't control everything from one screen.
    Any thoughts, insights, or advice is greatly appreciated.

    Logic has that issue at times as well- where the first notes of a midi passage may not play. I believe the timing is such that the note starts are actually slightly before the first beat. Check your starting notes to make sure that they are really starting on the first beat and not slightly before.

  • Audio cuts out when using Interfaces

    Just recently bought my first iMac, with plans to use it for multi-track recording. The audio is cutting out when using FireWire or USB interfaces to record and/or play audio. For instance, with an Edirol FA-66, even iTunes experiences brief periodic audio loss (every 20 seconds or so) when playing through the device. PreSonus Firebox works a bit better, with a 1 to 3 second loss every 40 seconds or so... this happens when using OSX as well as XP... the operating system doesn't seem to influence the problem. To be certain it wasn't a FireWire issue, I tested it with an M-Audio USB interface and had the same audio loss.
    Talking with tech support, the first guy just blamed everything on the 3rd party devices. That drove me CRAZY. Finally he got a specialist on the phone, who blamed it on the intel chip.
    Right now I'm just living with it... trying to record songs in smaller pieces. I wait for the audio to drop, then as soon as it comes back I hit record. I've got about 40 seconds (using the Firebox) which is enough to lay down a verse or chorus.
    I'm just hoping, HOPING that someone at Apple is looking into these things.

    Hello,
    This may be a stretch but your mention of " hard drive hanging" prompted me to suggest your problem may involve low data transfer rates. (I mean, the hard drive may have too slow.)
    When, for example, Final Cut Express or Pro are being used, they require high data transfer rates to avoid frame dropping. Apple's article on the HD requirements for those apps is here:

  • Audio cutting out when using D2 external Firewire Drive

    Hi,
    I have just upgraded to Logic Studio, using the following setup:
    Macbook Pro
    Motu 828
    AMT 8
    Logic Studio
    D2 Lacie 500GB Firewire Drive
    As the MacBook's internal hard drive is not sufficient to record and playpack efficiently, I was advised to get an external Firewire Drive. Given that I have very little space on my laptop - (am running windows on a partition also) I am trying to save my logic files to the external HD. When creating tracks specifically using Audio Instruments, the playpack keeps cutting out.
    I am connecting the HD via usb 2. I am also having to freeze the tracks in order to record more layers. There is lots of clipping and latency. I thought by using the external, this problem would be resolved.
    The HD is not playing back the tracks fast enough, and keeps cutting the audio out. The audio cuts out everytime the blue light on the drive flashes.
    I cannot save the files to the MackBook HD as there is notenough space.
    Is there something very wrong with my setup?
    any advice would be really appreciated.
    ps. I am a bit of a newbie
    thank you in advance.

    Connect it via firewire 800. USB2 is not good for audio or video streaming.
    I have 3 D2's connected to my mac pro, works like a charm.
    good luck.

  • I need help with problems after the April 2015 update

    In December 2015 I purchased an LG G3. It started out great. Then often people couldn't hear me..sometimes with the speaker on, sometimes with it off, sometimes on bluetooth with my car,.or my voice faded in and out, or sounded muffled or garbled.  After over a month of these frequent audio problems and several calls to Verizon during which they boosted my signal and guided me through a factory reset which took all of my photos out of their albums, the final suggestion a few days ago (April 21, 2015) was to download the new software update. I did and I'm not happy with some of the changes e.g. I wish I could have the old  home touch buttons back,The jury is still out on sounds quality, but now I have two new annoying problems.
    The first is that my car and phone used to bluetooth (connect) as soon as I put my engine on. Now, every time I get in my car I have to go into settings and give the phone permission to have other devices find my phone. Then after one or two tries the bluetooth eventually connects them. I am a Realtor and I need my phone and car to connect automatically every time I get in. I can give the phone permission to connect for up to an hour, but then it goes off. How do I get the opton to stay on?
    The second is that I often turn my data off, and I used to do it from the notification panel that I can pull down. I just pulled it down and tapped "data" and the light would go off if the data was off and on if it was on.  Now when I tap "data" I can turn it on or off, but the data button stays lit so when the data is off the light is still on. No more quickly glancing to see the data status...I have to tap it and read the notice to find out. Yes, 3G or 4G light up in tiny letters at the top, but data is the only button that stays lit when it is turned off.
    Am I missing the steps that would fix these issues?

    SiBIMe,
    I am sorry to hear of the issues with your device before and after the update. We want to restore the love back to your device. Please keep us posted on the audio issues to see if the update did assist with that issues.
    In regards to the two new problems, we want to make sure we get this worked out. Do you have issues with the device only auto connecting to your car or all bluetooths?  Do you receive and error message when the device doesn't auto connect and you attempt to connect manually but it fails? As for the data icon, when you tab on the data icon from the notification tab does the 4G actually disappear even thought the data icon is still lit?
    Please test your device in Safe mode and let us know if you still experience the same issues. Here is how to place the device in safe mode. http://vz.to/1owbN8K

  • Need help with PAGES in the document file will not open

    Hi if anyone can help me I woud appreciate it-
    I downlaoded awhile back the new software X and eveything was fine till I tried to open some documents (pages) and it will NOT OPEN a window pops up a newer version is available but when I go in there are NO UPDATES and I really do not think I need to buy a newer version do I?
    Please Help

    When you installed the latest version of Pages (and other iWork apps), the older versions were saved in a folder named "iWorks '09" in the Applications folder. You're trying to open a document that was saved in Pages 5 or in Pages for iOS using the older version of Pages. What you probably need to do is remove the Dock icon and drag Pages 5 into the Dock.

  • Need help with working in the background while doing a presentation

    Hi guys,
    I wanted to know if my MBP had a way to let me do a presentation, where on my screen I could tell it to present what I wanted it to present rather than showing every single move that I would make. If for instance, I were to open an app for looking up something to present, I wouldn't want people to see that action, but rather the things that I would put on a special window or virtual place created just for that.
    Maybe there's an app that will let me do this? What happens to me know is that when I connect the MBP to the data show presenter, everything I do gets displayed on the big screen on the wall. I want to work in the background without people seeing that. Please help. Thanks.

    The system software makes it about as easy as possible. Press fn+F7 (the pictographic mnemonic on the F7 kety is two overlapping rectangles). This will toggle the display mode between mirroring (same image on internal and external display) and spanning (each display independently contributing to the total viewable area).
    As a bonus when using Keynote (the presentation software from iWork) in a dual-screen configuration, you get one display showing the presentation and the other showing you context (the upcoming slide) and a timer. Check out the demo included with you MacBook.

  • Apple TV audio cuts out when its the output device

    Guys,
    I have a 2011 iMac and select AppleTV in my output devices, play some tunes from iTunes or Spotify, and it will play for a while but it will eventually start cutting out and eventually drop completely.  Instead of rebooting, I have to run the command
    sudo kill `ps -ax | grep 'coreaudiod' | grep 'sbin' |awk '{print $1}'`
    to restart the core audio service.
    Is this an AppleTV issue or a router issue?  My AppleTV is plugged into my Asus router via ethernet.  My iMac uses wireless as well as my iPhone and iPad.  The issue is still present when using airplay with my wireless devices.   The audio will start sounding glitch-y, then completely cut out.  Annoying when trying to enjoy music on the porch.
    Appreciate any input!

    Also, I had never seen iTunes show this orange status color in iTunes...

  • Need help with Workflow Issue: One notification sending out non-stop email.

    Hi,
    We've created a custom PO Approval Workflow based on standard PO Approval Workflow and we've had this for a while now. Last week, we encountered an issue where the notification keeps on sending email to the Suppliers and Buyers. We found out that the particular notification_id in the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table keeps getting updated by the minute setting the MAIL_STATUS to INVALID then back to SENT then back to INVALID again and so on. We think that whatever is updating this table is the cause but up until now we haven't found what's updating it. Below are some information of our instance.
    Oracle Applications: 11.5.10.2
    Database: 10.2.0.4 64 bit
    OS: AIX
    Custom Workflow based on revision 115.127.11510.16
    Customizations:
    - Created custom notification XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP based on EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
    - Created custom message XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF based on EMAIL_PO_PDF.
    - Added #WFM_CC to XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF.
    - Created custom attribute XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER and set as Performer to notification XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
    - Created custom function XX_ADDTL_STARTUP_VAL right after function "Set Workflow Startup Values". This function sets #WFM_CC attribute and XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER attribute.
    Not sure if the customizations have anything to do with the issue since not all POs have this issue. Have anyone experience this? Would really appreciate any help with this.
    Thanks,
    Allen
