Playback is scratchy and speed ebbs and flows

Running iTunes 9.0.2.25 on a brand new Dell XPS system w/ Windows "ultimate" 7 and 4G of Ram and supposedly state of the art performance, my music playback sounds "scratchy" about every 20 seconds of play and music videos will slow down for about 5 secs every 20 or so seconds. This is w/wo running any other programs and doesn't matter whether iTunes is in foreground/background or if I am doing anything else on the computer.
Have upgraded everything that I possibly can without a change in performance.
I am looking for suggestions.

Okay. By way of experiment, let's try putting an exclusion (from realtime scans) on the iTunes folder containing your library and content files. Where "username" is the name of your user account on the PC, the default location of the folder on Windows 7 is:
C:\users\username\My Music\iTunes
Any relief from the audio troubles with thst exclusion in place?

  • ITunes 10.5.2 audio is scratchy and muffled

    iTunes 10.5.2 audio is scratchy and muffled. Can't get external speakers to play audio correctly. Actions thus far: 1) removed Quartz composer visualizer.bundle from ~ /iTunes Plug-ins 2) Uninstalled Adobe Air 3) Unchecked Sound Enhancer in Options, Playback.  Read lots of references to Direct X, but not sure how to remedy. Is this a Quicktime or Adobe conflict?  Help!

    I have the same exact problem on my 2011 mac. my ipod does not seem to be affected, nor dos my sonos system (which is run though itunes) or iphone. my only thought is to wait for the next update of itunes i guess...

  • Pause Movie and Play song file, sound is scratchy and hear movie sound

    When I play a movie then pause and go to a music file the sound is very scratchy and I can hear stuff from the movie playing. Once it was a sound that just kept repeating, the other time i could the voices but they were in super slow motion. Any help would be appreciated in understanding this issue.

    That is what is happening, I hope that they resolve this issue as it seems to be something I do quite often as everyone wants to see the video playback then on my drive home I kick off an audiobook for the drive.
    Thanks

    Would you mind waiting a bit before asking again and again and again and then again? It's possible the person who can answer you question just didn't happen to read the forums this week.

  • Importing and flowing multiple text docs into InDesign CS3

    I have multiple plain text files where each runs several pages long that I want to import into one document in ID CS3. I want to import them and have them flow in a single threaded text frame one after another over multiple pages. With a single multi-page text doc all I have to do is select Place and hold down the shift key and InDesign will add the necessary pages and flow the copy until the end of the doc. However, if I shift select the docs and try import them into a text frame by holding down the shift key, it will just flow the first doc in the group with no indication of overset text. I have tried placing multiple text docs holding down the shift and command key and that brings in all my docs on the first page but in separate text boxes with overset text for each doc. Is there a way to do this in InDesign or perhaps a plugin that can do this?
    Thanks

    I tried to find this. It was posted 4/21/08 by Peter Kahrel (I can tell, because I can see my side of the discussion in my Sent folder) in response to a post I made entitled "Multiple Files". Maybe I'm not searching the forum archives properly, or maybe this was during the time last year when Adobe was trying (and failing) to update the forums. In any case, I'm sure at this point that Peter posted this for public consumption, so I don't think he's going to mind if I post it again:

    Copy and paste everything between the hyphen lines (not including the hyphen lines) into a text editor and save with a .js extension and put it in your scripts folder. Should be something like:
    D:\Program Files\Adobe\InDesign CS3\Adobe InDesign CS3\Scripts\Scripts Panel
    After alphabetizing your files and putting them in their own folder, copy the path and run the script. It will make a new folder and place all your files in one continuous story. I don't know how it will work with .txt files.

  • Problems with parity and flow control using visa serial

    I am trying to create a basic user interface with the options that my
    company uses most often for a force indicator.  You can configure
    the indicator over serial, as well as read the values off the
    indicator.  I am trying to create the user interface so that using
    producer/consumer loops with events, once you change a value, it will
    write that new value to the serial port, ie the device. 
    The problem I am having is transfering the parity and flow control
    values for the serial config to the Basic read write VI.  The
    problem is that once the consumer loop executes, it will write the
    values correctly to the VI, but then the outer loop executes 200 ms
    later and clears the values.  I know that this is normal behavior
    and that in order to keep the values stored, normally you would use a
    shift register.  I tried to use this and had some issues with
    correct data types/array mis-mtaches, ets, so I created an indicator
    and had a local vaible read the indicator, which seems to be working
    for the stop bits, read bits, baud rate, etc, but not the parity anf
    flow control.  I always get "blank" outputs for theses values (if
    you enable the digital display you can see that they are outputing the
    value 0 which correspondes to None in both cases, which is
    correct).  Even though it appears that it is outputting the
    correct value, I get an error that says the VISA property is
    invalid.  I initally did a search and found that my stop bit
    control was wrong (outputting double instead of integer), but I could
    not find anything on the parity/flow control issue.  I even tried
    to copy the serial config controls from the basic serial read/write to
    my dialog box and that did not work either.
    I would be grateful for any suggestions.
    Thanks
    Kenny

    I should add that I am using LV 8.0 and that the serial config
    indicator in the consumer loop will be off the frontpanel in the final
    VI so that it is not visible to the user.

  • ITunes sounds scratchy and slow

    When I play songs in iTunes, they sound scratchy and have pops in them. At about 8-10 seconds in, it really slows down for a second or two and then seems to free up a bit, but not without the scratching and pops.
    I have iTunes 7.0.1.8 running on Windows XP. I have searched through the forums and tried all the suggestions I have seen about the QuickTime preferences, updating DirectX, etc. Nothing seems to help 100%. Any ideas????
    eta - It gets worse when the CPU seems to be running at high capacity - (like opening an app or ie or something).

    Bump - Anyone out there experienced the same thing???

  • I'm seeing a strobing effect during playback of clips and timeline in FCP7. How do I fix?

    I'm seeing a strobing effect during playback of clips and the timeline in FCP7. Footage isn't corrupt. Apple techs said its not hardware after their tests at the Apple store. I did a full reinstall of FCS. There's 4GB of RAM free at all times during playback. The problem is still there... How do I fix this?
    Strobing:
    By strobing, I mean there's only about 1 ever 10 frames playing back for me. Everything is rendered and the comp settings match the clip settings. It's not constant though, but the strobing is triggered at certain points on the timeline and effect a few clips after that (10 seconds or so at a time), and then when the next clip is displayed on the timeline the strobbing stopps and is reset back to normal playback... until another random clip is encountered by the playback head to which then the process repeats. Also, when strobbing is happening and I move the playhead back a few seconds, or pause & play, or even forward a little on the same strobbing clip (basically when i inturrupt the playback process) the strobbing STOPS! I can watch the same footage that was strobing without it strobing any longer until I move back the playhead far enough and try again, then the strobing is triggered again. I hope this all makes sense, it's very picular and I've seen or heard of nothing like it in my 4 years of editing in FCP7.

    SStrange my enough the problem started occurring a few hours into the project. The only thing I can think of is that I shot with all Canon 5D mark iii footage when I usually shot with a mark ii. My workflow hasn't changed and I have never had this problem. I've also used other mark iii footage in the past without a problem but I don think I've edited entirely with mark iii footage

  • Certain pagebreak in a form which is dynamic and flowed

    Hello,
    I have a question. I have a form which is dynamic and flowed. In this fom are differents documents. Before a new document begins I want to have a pagebreak. In the old form which was designed with Adobe Livecycle Designer 8.0 the pagebreak works. The new form which was designed with Adobe Livecycle Designer 8.2 the pagebreak doesn't work.
    Can somebody help me?
    Thanks!

    You should first check if the Form is open, then only create a new instance if it's not open. Based on your code, I'd redesign CheckOpened so that it returns the opened instance, or null if it's not open. In button1_click, check the return value. If it's
    null, create a new instance, otherwise use the returned refernce to make the modification, either by directly accessing label1, or indirectly by adding a property to Form2 that changes label1.text in the property-set method.
    However, instead of searching for an open form, I'd just store a reference to it in a class level variable when it's created. So you just check for null if it's open. Additionally you must set it to null when handling Form2's FormClosed event.

  • Behavior of flowN and flow

    I need the maximum of informations you can give me about the behavior of flowN (and flow). How does it work? Is each flow instanciated in a thread or are all flows implemented in a "while" mechanism ?

    This is a good question. There are 2 modes.
    Mode #1 - ParallelSearch Demo
    When the partnerlinks that are invoked in each branch are marked as “<property name="nonBlockingInvoke">yes</property>” (see C:\orabpel\samples\demos\ParallelSearch\AggregatedCatalog for example), then multiple threads perform in parallel on one specific instance.
    Mode #2 - LoanDemo
    If the nonBlockingInvoke flag is not set, then the branches are performed overall in parallel but each activity will lock the instance while it is executing. This means that, in mode #2, if you have
    flow
    sequence 1
    invoke 1.1
    receive 1.2
    sequence 2
    invoke 2.1
    receive 2.2
    and each receive takes 10 minutes, the overall flow will take 10 minutes but that each receive will actually lock the instance while it is receiving the callback and updating the scope.
    I hope this helps.
