Optical sound distorted after waking up the ATV2.

Hi!
I bought an Apple TV 2 last week but have some problems with the sound. If the Apple TV goes to sleep and is woken up, it seems like the sound from the optical out doesn't work, until I turn on my TV and select the correct HDMI input. The sound is not completely gone, but it is very distorted and/or choppy.
Turning on the TV just to play music (iPad --> AirTunes) is ridiculous. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I've installed the latest official software.

I forgot to mention that I'm using a converter (Digital --> Analog) so that I can use an analog RCA output connection. The converter and the cables are working fine.
According to this thread I'm not alone with my problem: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16724425#16724425

Sound distortion after virtual sound installation on Satellite A80

My sound distorts after i install virtual sound, it is driving me mad. I downloaded all the toshiba drivers.

Hello
Usually the sound should be much better using this tool. I can really not explain why this happen. Try to reinstall sound driver.
The unit is delivered with WXP Home and I assume that you try to install your own OS, probably professional edition. All drivers and tools should work properly with WXP professional too. Please check the installation instructions that can be also downloaded from Toshiba download site (http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/Satellite/sa80/win-xp/install-xp-na.zip). All this stuff must be installed in particular order.
Bye

I have recorded a vocal track, but have no playback sound. The meter shows it's there, but no sound even after un-muting the track. I'm using Garage Band 10.0.2/Mac Mini ~Thanks

Check the output settings in GarageBand's preferences > Audio/Midi pane.
And in the System Preferences > Sound panel.
Also check the settings in Audio Midi Setup Utility.

Sound distorted after exporting, but is fine in Premiere

Hi,
The project sounds fine in premiere, (and yes, I checked to make sure it doesn't clip above 0db), but when I export it as an mpg, the mic'd track sounds distorted / a bit garbled.
The really curious thing is that sometimes if I export just the first minute, the problem track sounds fine...but for longer clips or the full movie, the track sounds distorted...including the same section at the beginning which sounded fine as a shorter clip.
Now I am using the dynamics effect on the problem track, but (1) it has worked fine in other projects, with exact same settings (2) it sounds fine in premiere (3) it isn't clipping according to the premiere level monitors.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Screen shot of export settings:

I should also add that I am able to export the entire movie without distortion if I turn the dynamics effect off...However, the track really does need this effect, so I'd love to know why it's causing the problem. Again the stumper of why the effect sounds fine in a short clip, but that same section sounds garbled if it extends to a longer clip.

8460p - sound distortion after BIOS update

After updating BIOS to v F05 experience sound distortion at random times.
Driver reinstallation does not help

Figured out - the problem is with HP Power Assistant. This program does something periodically and this makes sound distortion once in a minute or so.
Killing the process solves the issue. But it is a workaround to listen music normally.
Is anybody from HP looking at this forum?

Sound problem after waking from sleep

When I wake my computer from sleep the external speakers to do not produce sound. This is not related to the 'red light' issue, no red light is shining and in the sound control panel 'internal speakers' is showing.
Interesting is that when I play with the alert sounds in the control panel I can hear them, but when I adjust the volume or try to get sound out of software (iTunes, Quicktime, etc.) I can not hear anything. Also, when the computer is waking from sleep if I quickly toggle the volume control I get one or two 'clicks' before it goes silent. I have repaired the permissions according to other posts but that did not help.
However, if I plug in earphones and take them out again the volume works. . .
any suggestions?

Hi everyone, after waking from sleep, the first sound that is played is accompanied by a hissing sound for the first couple seconds. It does not happen after that at all that I have noticed. It comes out of either the speakers or headphones.
Can anyone try this: (Esp. if you have a new MB Penryn update (most recent))
1) Close lid, put to sleep.
2) Wait 5-10 mins
3) Open lid, log in to iChat (with login sound on) or make some other sound play. Listen for a hissing or static sound within the first couple seconds of whatever you just played.
Thanks for any help!
I don't observe this on my Napa-Revised Macbook

Sound distortion after share with iTunes

I have used Garage band to record several lectures without any problems. Over the past week, any time I share it with iTunes, I sound like a chipmunk in the play back. I have tried converting the tracks into a new music and new podcast projects but it still does the same thing once I share it with iTunes.

the song on the iPod may not have been updated. be sure to delete the song from iTunes, update the iPod so that the song is removed, export the song from GB again, and finally resync the iPod
(an even better chocie would be to quit GB, rename the project ( http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#renameproject ), open it and export. this way you can be sure you're playing the updated file)

My mac makes a typewriter sound when I use my mouse. It is not speaker related, the sound continues after I turn the volume down. What is this and how do I make it stop?

My mac has just started making a sound similar to an old fashioned typewriter while I an on line using the mouse. It does not seem to make this sound while I am using the keyboard. It is likely electrical because it continues even when I have turned the speaker volume down. Does anyone know what may be causing this and how it can be stopped.
Thanks

Open your mac pro and listen carfully. It could be coming from a failing hard drive or a bad fan. If you have more than one drive you could remove the ones you are not currently using and add them back one by one to try to localize or eliminate the sound. Caution though, only remove drives when your machine is off. You cannot hot swap the drive bays.

Sound distortion after downloading artworks

I am using the latest version of itunes 7.0.1.8
It has seemed ok, until yesterday i decided to click on get album artwork.
The artwork was downloaded fine but the noice quality immediately after and since has been awful. I can only describe it as an interferance / distortion. It is a constant sound regardless of teh beat / tone of teh music. When i use any other program to run sounds or music (windows media, audacity, windows sounds) it works fine UNLESS itunes is running. If itunes is running all noise on teh machine is unbearable.
As soon as i exit itunes, all sound is good again.
When i first upgraded to itumes 7 i had some sound qulaity issues , thyat were resolved by the latest upgrade, but this is an altogether different and more prevalent sound.

Goto the PC makers site and update your sound card/drivers
In Windows goto Control panel>Quicktime>Audio tab check "Safemode" hit OK and reboot the PC for settings to take
If that doesn't work try the steps here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610

Toshiba, No sound until after waking from hibernate/suspend

From the title my question is obvious. I have a Toshiba Satellite model L655-S5165
When I boot the machine there is NO sound at all unless I use the head phone jack,
but after hibernating or just closing the lid and waking it up then I have working sound out of the speakers
for various amounts of time until it stops working again. The head phone jack works all the time without fail.
Any Idea what may be going on here?

When you say there is no sound, what applications have you tried?
Assuming that you have tried more than 3+ applications including iTunes, flash videos like youtube and some other applications. It might be a good idea to reset the PRAM and SMC
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Sound Distortion After Todays QT update.

We just updated our G5s here at the lab (Quick TIme and Garageband ), and now the sound output is extremely distorted and crackly regardless if its a video on cnn.com or a song off iTunes. Tried Zapping the PRAM and repairing permissions, even reinstalled QT from the standalone installer on apple.com to no avail. Any ideas?
Message was edited by: Liquidity X

Hmm...if the sound is distorted in all applications, then it doesn't sound like an update of QT or Garageband could have caused it. Are you using the internal speaker for sound, or some type of studio monitors? If you are using speakers other than the internal speaker, I would change the output device over to the internal speaker and see if you get the same problem. You can change the sound output device by going to system prefs->sound->output-> and selecting "internal speaker". If it is still crackling or you have only been using the internal speaker, plug in a pair of headphones and see if the sound crackles there as well.
If the crackling goes away when you switch output devices or plug in headphones, then the problem is with the individual output device (speakers). You may want to check your connections to make sure the speakers are properly plugged in.

Why there is some graphic distortion after i installed the new OS

Since I installed the New OS X mountain lion, i noticed that there is some graphic distortion specially when opening mails and playing games. i have macbook pro with i7 processor. anybody encounter problem like this? anyone can help me for a solution. thanks

Do you have something like this http://cl.ly/image/0c2y422p0r0f ? This is my screen shot from Mail.app, I didn't tested Mountain Lion in games, but one time 1,5h after instalation of new OS X my system has crashed, and reason was GPU problems (I hope drivers only, I read this in Console.app). ML was freezing about 4-5 minutes, on the dock were artifacts, so I had to do hard reset. My computer is MacBook Pro 13" i5 2,3 Ghz + Intel HD 3000 + 8GB Ram + SSD.

Sound distorted after updating

I have iPod Touch 4th Gen, I was running the 4.2.2 iOS or something like that as it wouldnt allow me to update.
I found a way of updating last night by editing the host file, so I went straight to iOS6.
Since updating the sound is incredibly distorted. Tested with my iPhone 4S (iOS6) and working fine.
Looked around on forums and people had the same problem when upgrading got iOS5?
Done sound check etc and hasn't fixed the problem, it is 100% the update.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry.
Try the standard fixes:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Laptop Sound distorted after updating to Windiws 10

I have a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop which I have been using for some time now. I recently updated to Windows 10. Since then, my laptop's speakers do not seem to be working propery. There is a distortion in the sound and there seems to be a double echo when listening to sounds, especially when I am using headphones. The audio devide is IDT High Definition AUdio Codec. The device manager says that the device is workinh properly. However, the problem seems to be continuing. Is the problem due to the new WIndows system or do I need to update any drivers?
