Popping sound when running WMP in full scr

Basically, I installed the card with a new computer. The specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Mother Asus AV8
Memory 2x52 Dual Channel Corsair Xms
80 Gb Matrox 7200 RPM PATA
Geforce4 6600 GT AGP
X-fi ExtremeMusic
TV / Radio AVermedia TV Phone (old TV card)
Sony DVD player
Ext. DVD/RW
While playing any game, you might ear it from time to time. Not really noticeable.
While listening to music in WINAMP or WMP, no problem at all.
However, if I use WMP in Full screen, you can ear it pretty well.
Any solutions beside reinstalling or updating drivers?
Could it be that when changing into full screen, the video card requires more power, and introduce some noise in the system that produce the popping sound in the sound card? (I have a 430Watts power supply)
Thanks
Max

You can check if
- decreasing the hardware acceleration (2 D graphics),
- decreasing the PCI latency for the grapgics (28),
- enabling the AGP fast write
- increasing the AGP aperture size into size of your geforce's onboard memory,
- lowering graphics resolution to 24-bit
- increasing the PCI Latency for sound card (64 or 28),
- (if the popping comes when you move the mouse then) decreasing the mouse sampling rate,
- changing performance optimization for applications (instead of background services) or vice versa if already set for applications
- using ASIO (plugin needed) with winamp
makes any difference with winamp popping issues.

Hizzing / bad sound when running from battery power (Ups)?:

Why is my computer (Imac) emitting a hizzing sound when running from the UPS (battery)? I am testing a offline UPS type: POWERWARE Eaton Protection Station UPS 500VA 250W. My Imac is suppose to use max 200 watts of electrity (Imac 24 inch. intel 2.8 Ghz, 4 GB memory). When running from AC there is no sound. When testing (pulling out the cord on the UPS the Imac starts emitting a disturbing hizz / sound)???

I solved it my self. It was OK (no buzz and fuzz) when it was plugged in (when the electicity line was down once and I was running on the UPS battery).....

My iPhone 5 have the glass popping sound when I press on the top left corner of my phone but I don't know why, I don't see any visibility of the glass coming out. My friends all told me to not exchange.

My iPhone 5 have the glass popping sound when I press on the top left corner of my phone but I don't know why, I don't see any visibility of the glass coming out. My friends all told me to not exchange because after all the software is perfectly fine.

My phone just turned 2 months old. But in Singapore as long your phone is under one year warranty I can still go for an exchange at the respective telco, but my friends all suggest me to not change now cause after changing it'll be a refurbished set instead of a brand new one.

Bad clicking popping sound when macbook plugged into external speakers

I have a black MacBook Core Duo, a white Macbook Core 2 Duo, and a Macbook Pro Core Duo that are suddenly ALL exhibiting horrible behavior when plugged into external speakers using the 1/8th inch headphone output converted to RCA to connect to the speakers.
I have always known that sometime in the last year or 2, one of the OS updates introduced a popping noise when the audio system has been idle and then suddenly fires a sound again after being quiet for a while.
But now all 3 of these machines, all running 10.6.7 with all current available software updates are exhibiting a clicking / popping /crackling sound almost CONSTANTLY when hooked up to the same set of speakers I've had for years. I tested with other speakers just to make sure the noise is still there.
Every time someone goes on or offline in my ichat buddy list, the crackling noise that accompanies the typical buddy available/unavailable sound is extremely irritating.
Every time I hit the volume up or down button I hear the awful noise alone with the volume feedback sound. If I keep hitting volume up or down FAST repeatedly, the sound goes away. But the moment I stop doing anything for even 1-2 seconds, and then touch the volume up/down buttons again, the cracking sound returns.
I have no idea what software update introduced this problem or what the heck is going on. I have booted these machines from external drives with a fresh install of 10.6.7. I've tried 10.5.8. Nothing works.
It's like some kind of firmware has permanently screwed up the 1/8th inch output on all of these machines when hooked up to external speakers. And these are all completely different model laptops
I do not hear the noise through these laptops' internal speakers, or if I plug headphones directly into their headphone jacks.
I have had to install an M-Audio USB Micro onto my main laptop to use it's 1/8th inch stereo out to connect to my speakers in order to eliminate this horrible noise. But this should NOT be necessary and I am not satisfied with this fix as a permanent solution.
I'm astonished to find this problem on ALL THREE of these different laptops suddenly.
The Anti Pop program did not alleviate the problem. Please help. Apple please issue software fixes to get rid of these problems once and for all.

[Pulseaudio] Pop sound when the first stream starts, auto-suspend?

Hi,
I've been having a popping sound issues whenever a Pulseaudio sink was opened. At first I thought it had a link with the power saving settings of snd_hda_intel, so I changed those two settings:
power_save setting = 0
power_save_controller = N
Sadly, it doesn't change anything.
I also tried to disable auto-mute in alsamixer. It didn't work.
Then, I tried to investigate on pulseaudio's side, and figured the sinks are disabled when they are idle, so I commented out this statement in /etc/pulse/default.pa:
### Automatically suspend sinks/sources that become idle for too long
#load-module module-suspend-on-idle
However, if I do that, the device will still be suspended when the last stream ends, but won't come back to life except if I select the device again in pavucontrol while a sound stream is running (super weird).
Any leads? I'm a bit desperate...
EDIT: I'm experiencing what's been described here: Red Hat - Bug #520403 - but the solution they proposed does not work for me. I also followed the guide for ALSA Setup on the wiki, and read the section talking about Popping Noises, but nothing works for me, I un-muted the Line-In too. FYI, my audio codec is a Realtek ALC892.
EDIT 2: Noticed it does the same thing when I mute the volume.
Thanks!
Gabriel

Right, an array of unsigned integers to be exact. You would have to look at the code, either in your sources or here and here. They may have changed somewhat, but I doubt any drastic changes. First link is to linux 3.14 version. At least I assume it gets passed on directly, if that really is the case, I do not know. Just try it, hardware damage risk is minimal.
Looking at the mask, I think it takes up to 31 samples. So try with 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24. I may be very well wrong about this.
Since I already have 0 and 1 in the 'trial matrix' I'll add 24 only. Adding the combinations with 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 is too much for me

Wow, I didn't know that! What do you know! Linux being bitchy even about capital letters made me think it would be even more bitchy about '_' vs '-'.

Can anyone help me figure why there is a popping sound when I move from an iphoto still image to a new video clip? The sound has been removed from the video clips and there is another soundtrack underneath it all. Help?

My current project is like many I have created in the past. I have removed the sound from my video clips and laid another soundtrack under the entire project. Now, when I add an iphoto still image to the project, when it goes back into video there is a popping sound. I've never had this happen in the past and have made many projects in the past just like this one. Any way to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks so much for your help.

How to avoid IE pop-ups when running BIP reports(w/ SSO) from Oracle Forms?

Hi all,
We have an OID/SSO integrated Oracle Forms and BI Publisher environment in place. We/users expect the same behavior when running Oracle Reports or BIP reports from Oracle Forms... which means receiving no intermediate pop-ups and simply getting the report output to appear in the relevant target application(PDF, EXCEL, etc). Currently we get multiple security warnings when running BIP reports from Oracle Forms.
Here's a list of Pop-ups contents:
1. "File Download - Security Warning" Do you want to open or save this file? -> OPEN
2. "File Download" Do you want to save this file? Name = ma01r500.pdf -> YES
3. "Save AS" -> pick desktop and save.
4. "Download Complete" -> OPEN
We have experimented with setting various IE security settings to LOW/enabled and still get these pop-ups.
Any suggestions is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Yahya

FYI... Metalink Note 282996.1 has resolved the bigger issue with the extra pop-ups with SSO enabled environment.
Cause:
Internet Explorer (IE) has to cache PDF files in a temporary directory prior to opening the file. Without this IE cannot process PDF files. With SSO protected pages, the header cache settings are set to no-cache which prevents IE from downloading PDF files.
Solution:
In mod_osso.conf use the entry "OssoSendCacheHeaders off" which tells mod_osso to turn off all no-cache related headers, which the enables Internet Explorer to be cache the file in a temporary directory.
Now I am not sure if anybody has any thoughts/suggestions as how we might be able to resolve this issue where Oracle Reports WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT calls have no pop-ups so ideally BIP reports WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT calls should behave the same as both are calls from Oracle Forms.
But at least now our SSO enabled environment and un-secure DEV/UAT behave the same with a single pop-up. Ideally the users shouldn't have to come across this intermediate pop-up to open(save/cancel being the other options) the document(just like Oracle Reports calls).

Why do I get a cracking/popping sound when recording?

Ever since I updated to OSX Mountain Lion, I am having trouble with Garageband.
The issue is that as soon as the sound starts to build up, then the cracking and popping sounds begin, interrupting the recording. I use two types of microphones, the M-Audio for voice and ONE by Apogee for my guitar, and so far I have had excellent results.I have restarted the application and even changed microphones, but the problem persists.
The problem gets worse when you export the song to iTunes, where all the cracks and interruptions show up, ruining the song.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution?

Anyone else getting a random "pop" sound when the screen comes on?

It's random and doesn't seem to affect anything else, but every so often when I raise my wrist to view, a small pop sound emits from the speaker. It doesn't happen every time, and the speaker itself works fine. The only water that has come into contact so far has been from washing my hands.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I have this happen too! 42mm Stainless Steel.
I thought at first it was just the strap or strap connectors clicking when raising my wrist to view the screen, but today I isolated it to the speaker on the device. It doesn't happen every time, but enough that it's a mildly annoying quirk.
Also, if I take my watch into a very quiet room, hold the speaker slits to my ear, I can hear extremely faint white noise coming from it when the screen is lit. So for some reason when the screen turns on on the Apple Watch, the speaker wakes up too, and when the speaker wakes up, it sometimes emits an clearly audible popping noise.
Also of note, the speaker functions perfectly fine when on. Notification sounds and calls sound crisp and clear, just for some reason it pops when turning on the circuitry that controls the speaker.
My device has never touched water.

Ambiguous-import-flow-from-multiple-connectors when running AD MA Full Sync

When I run a Full Sync on the AD MA, I get a bunch of "ambiguous-import-flow-from-multiple-connectors" errors when running AD MA. How can I find out which attribute is causing this?
If I open one of the errors and run a "generate preview" I can see there is a join ("match") based on (data asource attribute) samaccountname & (metaverse attribute) accountName but I don't seem to be able to figure out
what attribute is causing this and / or needs precedence.
Anyone any ideas?
JD

Hello,
this error occurs because you have more than one CS object linked to one MV object.
In this case FIM can not resolv the precedence of Attribute flows correctly, because they have all the same precedence. Or regarding to your question, all Import attibutes flows are causing the Problem.
You have to configure Manual precedence with advanced Attribute flows in this case.
or
If multiple CS objects to one MV object is not was you Need, get rid of the second (or more) connector from that data source.

Popping sound when locking iPhone

Hi, I just got my iPhone replaced by apple for the second time, Everything works fine except for when after I make a call or receive a call and I go to lock my phone, Instead of the normal lock sound I get this popping sound. When I wake my phone up and unlock it, there is no sound even when I lock it again. Only thing I've found that helps is putting the headphones in and out and resetting the phone but when i go to make/receive a call then put the phone to sleep, the popping sound comes back. Is it a defect with the hardware? Since my previous two phones never did this, I don't wanna go back to apple asking for another phone.

Have you tried basic troubleshooting of the hardware?
Such as Rebooting iPhone, Restoring iPhone. If this continues after a restore then yes I do advise you visit your apple retail store with appointment or contact iPhone support so they can assist you under the hardware warranty.

Pops sounds when Decoding AC3 with audigy

Hi, i want to make audigy zs decode ac3, doing the following:
in powerdvd 6 , i set to spdif out, and in audigy "use internal decoder" is enabled, it works fine with dts decoding, but with ac3 there's pops sounds during loud scenes, if i enable "dynamic range compress" in AudioHQ, the pops sounds disapears but the dynamic range is gone too, something i don't want because i really want to enjoy that sound.
Is there a way to listen the wide range sound of AC3, i mean with dynamic range enable without the pops sounds that produce when decoding ac3 with audigy zs?
someone has tried this or there's no chance to do it at all!

Well, a think all of you are not telling the truth, because you dont' even test it in the scene i mention(Lord of thr rings)
For you to know, there's movies that there's no pops sounds at all, like the original star wars trilogy, shrek , no problem, but in LOTR trilgy there's a problem.
Now for BigBen he said something different in:
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=3043&quer y.id=4735#M3043
In that forum, i had and old computer Pentium III 500 MGHZ, that didnt,t work anything, Dvd audio, dts, ac3 decoding. nothing.
I tried all and nothing.
finally i gave in, and bought another cpu because maybe it was an issue of the mother card,
i bought a Compaq DeskPro En(Pentium III 000MGHZ). now all the problems i had before are gone, except for the pops sounds in Ac3 decoding in LOUD SCENES, now this is common problem for most users, now if you say you don't have, well try lord of the rings Trilogy, Return of the king!

Mac mini makes popping sounds when sleeping

I have a 2009 mac mini running eye tv with the analogue 3.5 output to a stereo system. Every time it sleeps it makes a regular popping sound - every 5 seconds or so... other than that everything works fine but it has just become annoying enough to post this.
Anyone else had this issue? Know of any fixes?
Thanks

As an experiment, try turning off Airport and Bluetooth on the mini and see if the pop goes away. If it goes away, turn them back on one-at-a-time to see if one or the other makes a difference.

Popping sounds when transcoding wmv to flv with media encoder

Whenever I use adobe media to transcode a wmv file created in windows media encoder to a flash file, I get pops in the audio track (similar to hissing bacon). The pops only occur during the begining of the video, when it's quiet and go away once the music or any loud noises begin. I did some research and found that it's a common problem when changing sample rates but the thing is that it doesn't happen on every conversion, and happens across multiple computers. We've tried it on Dell precision m65s (xp pro) as well as a Dell xps (vista 64bit) and a MacBook pro running xp pro in bootcamp. Here are the settings we use in windows media encoder: 1800kbps video 160kbps CBR audio at 48khz 640x360 resolution 29.97 fps keyframe: 8 seconds And here are the settings we use in AME: flv multiplexing on2 vp6 codec 2 pass vbr at 800kbps "undershoot" at 100% (quality: best) mp3 audio at 160 Kbps we have found that these settings work best for our cdm (brightcove) Again, it only happens at the begining of a video when it is quiet. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Before anyone asks, the reason we don't capture it directly into flash with live flash media encoder is because the motion in our content causes the processor to peak resulting in dropped frames. When we get better equipment we will switch to live flash media encoder but until then we are stuck with windows media encoder. Thanks, Peter

Again, the reason we are capturing with Windows Media Encoder is because we tried using Live Flash Encoder to capture directly into flash but our equipment wasn't fast enough and it was dropping frames all over the place. We also don't have the space to capture into an uncompressed format because we don't have the available storage, and our events can be 8 hours long or more (each video is about 15 minutes, 20 or more videos)
Ive listened to everything in my workflow and it sounds fine until the outputted FLV file from AME.
WME is capturing at the following specs:
160kbps 48KHz Windows Media Audio 9.2 codec (stereo) 1 pass CBR
1800kbps 1 pass CBR video
29.97 fps
640x360 resolution
buffer size: 5 seconds
key frame interval: 8 seconds
I have verified this with a codec info utility I ran on the wmv files.
AME is encoding with the following specs:
FLV Multiplexing
On2 VP6 codec
620x360 resolution
800kbps 2 pass VBR
100% undershoot at best quality
160kbps stereo MP3 audio
I verified the above with the same codec info utility (gspot 2.70a) and it is all acurate, it also told me that the audio is at 44.1KHz rather than 48 (there was no place to specify this, is this a limitatino of the VP6 codec?)
Yes, these are our source assets. They're being captured either through an XL2 via firewire, or from an analog program feed converted to firewire via a Canopus converter box.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of this, or a different encoder (either to capture with rather low cpu resources, or to encode into flash) let me know. I can provide a sample of the clipping if you need
Thanks,
Peter
