There is a particularly intrusive BMW app advert that pops up when playing Words with Friends that I can't get rid of. There doesn't appear to be an exit option (most unethical). Any suggestions on how to get rid of the advert out ther?

Iphone 4 when playing game no sound

hi guys:
my iphone 4 when playing game no sound but the ringstone is ok no problem,so i try to reset my phone but the problem still there~is that my hardware problem?

Hello Zijie92,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with sound on your iPhone. Have you checked to see if the Side Switch is enabled? This could be muting the audio:
In ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. In silent mode, iPhone doesn’t ring or play alerts and other sound effects.
iPhone User Guide - Ring/Silent switch

If you are experiencing this issue with just one specific application, I recommend the steps in the following article:

PLAY A SYSTEM SOUND SUCH AS CLICK

I want to play a system sound - like click.

You can use the Sound VIs in LabVIEW to play a .wav file, and if you're on Windows XP, you can see all the different .wav files that Windows uses for clicks, beeps, etc. in the C:\Windows\Media folder.
Search the LabVIEW Help and palettes if you need more information on the sound VIs.
Good luck,

[SOLVED]XMMS stops playing when KDE plays a system sound!

Well the subject says it all... if KDE reports an error or something... and plays a sound... XMMS stops playing... it's really annoying...
I use ALSA for the sound server and for XMMS output... never had these problems on other distros...

I assume you are using ARTS for kde sounds ?
Try setting the auto-suspend delay to 0 , Control center > sound and multimedia > sound system , general tab
If that doesn't help, disable the sound system.
In order to get kde to play system sounds without ARTS :
Control center > sound and multimedia > system notifications > player settings > use an external player
the play command from the sox package works very well.

Crackling when playing

hey i get crackling when i play audio cds and sounds like the vocals are really low can anyone tell me how to fix it's maybe a reverb prob or something?

what kind of soundcard do you have? try going to system sounds and set 'cd line in' to mute. im pretty sure it doesn't control the sound from any cd you put in your dri've. but it certainly helps to nullify scratchiness

Downloaded new format yesterday and now when playing music the sound is low for first few seconds of each subsequent track. Is this a bug?

Under new format when playing music each track after the first starts in low volume then kicks in within 3 seconds. very irritating. is this a bug?

I'm having the same issue on my iPad (the "new iPad" / 3rd gen with retina display and 30 pin dock connector) after downloading iOS 7 (is that what you meant by the new format, updating to iOS 7?).
The music will play quietly for a few seconds then it will play at the volume it's supposed to.

Popping/ crackling filter to make film sound like 20s film

Is there a built in filter in FCPro HD that will allow the audio to have the old sounding "pops and crackles" that you hear in older movies.
Also, is there a video filter that will give me the effect of lines and artficats in the film itself that you see like when you go to an old movie theatre and little black shapes appear on the screen from time to time.
THanx!

If you export to a QuickTime Movie, there's some filters you can apply during that process ... like hair, scratch and dust (I think) ... and they're included free in QTPro.
Other than that, the best film effects package I've seen and used is from www.nattress.com
As for the sound, I've heard pops and crackling on old LP recordings, but not on old films. Perhaps you could sample some of the scratch and pop noises from an old album and build your own 'noise' track.

Zen V Plus - popping / crackling when you pause or change trac

Hi, I just bought a new Zen V Plus, and every time I go the next track or hit pause, I hear a faint crackle or pop sound. I just want someone to verify for me whether this is standard for the creative or not. Very disappointed here.
For the record, I already tried upgrading the firmware and that didn't help.

Since your post I have tried repeatedly pausing & un-pausing a track. And yes, some times there is a slight clicking a short time after pausing.
It seems to be programme dependant. In a near silent section of recording, it does not seem to happen.
Anyway, since I don't generally sit there pausing & un-pausing all day, it doesn't bother me - I'd never noticed it in normal use.
EDIT:
Maybe it's related to the inherent delay in the MP3/WMA decoding process. Perhaps that would explain the slight delay and the programme dependence.Message Edited by daytona955 on 06-9-20070:2 AM

How to fix streaming audio pops/crackles and then stops all sound

I am a google Chrome user. I am unsure if this problem is related to Chrome or to Flash by I suspect there is a problem with both. I previously had this problem where when you start a youtube video for example the audio would pop/crack and then the audio would go dead. If you were able to put the video on full screen before this happened it would work fine. This really only happens with windowed (non-fullscreen videos). Previously I went in to my chrome plugins and disabled chrome's native flash and that fixed the issue. With the most recent update to Chrome this has happened again. This time disabling chrome's flash does not work. On the adobe version site it says that for chrome the version should be 11.5.31.137 but it shows me as using 11.5.502.146. The latter would be the version for firefox. I do not use firefox. Could this be causing my trouble? I have used the official flash uninstaller and restarted my computer and reinstalled but the same thing happened. Thanks.

Thanks for the link. I have tried what they recommend. I currently have two flash files. I have disabled the chrome one and the one that is enabled is C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_5_502_146.dll
However, I ran the chrome://flash and this is what I got:
Flash plugin
11,5,502,146 C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_5_502_146.dll (not used)

I've never looked at this before but it is weird that it is saying that that flash is not used.
Anyone know about the firefox version of flash installing for Chrome because as I described above that doesn't seem right.

My Z30 won't play many media sounds after upgrade to 10.3

I did an auto-update to the new OS yesterday, and ever since, there are some sounds that won;t play. I often listen to radio stations using the bowser (TSN radio, Jets games, etc). I know my old blackberry had an issue around not having a flash player, but this new Z30 worked right from day 1....until yesterday. Also, the new blackberry assistant won't talk to me either. I don;t know if that's a setting, or if it is talking but it's just not playing?? I can't get most of he Jet games on TV here in Alberta, so the radio is my only option, so I REALLY REALLY would appreciate someone helping me.

Try downloading the TSN app. I had the same problem that you described. The app solved my problem.

Lag when system sounds play on Retina MacBook Pro

I have a problem on my Retina Macbook Pro (Mid 2012, running on 10.9 Mavericks) that has persisted for quite some time.
Essentially the problem is that whenever an application plays a system sound, the application lags for a few seconds. However, this comes and goes.
For an example of what I mean, the lag happens when I make the following actions:
- Deleting a file in Finder (Trash sound should play)
- Using a 'find' prompt in an app like Chrome, Xcode, TextEdit, and entering a string that cannot be found. That is, the lag occurs when I type the character that causes no result to be found. (Beep should play)
- Pressing 'delete' (backspace) in any app's text field with no text present (Beep should play)
- If I go to System Preferences -> Sound, and select a new 'alert sound' in the Sound Effects tab, the lag occurs and the Console prints "System Preferences[52828]: Error 268435460 setting AlertSound"
While my computer is in 'problem' mode, every single app is guaranteed to lag when these events happen.
But as I said, the problem comes and goes. It first happened after I had to reinstall one day. I think I screwed something up with preferences, permissions and such, because it took a while for me to fix everything up. But I don't think I quite fixed everything, because this problem started to occur ever since then.
The problem will appear for days or weeks at a time and then disappear for weeks. Just now I'm posting this thread because it had actually gone away for months, and just reappeared today. Nothing that I have found can explicitly start or stop this problem from occurring, it's seemingly random.
Does anybody have any idea why this would occur, and what can be done to fix it other than a complete clean reinstall?
Thanks!

Sorry wrong post to this thread.
Now the right post.
No OS X can not use all 8GBs of RAM when the Windows Virtual Machine is running. As long as the Win VM is up and running it take all the RAM you allocated to it. So if you allocated 2GBs of RAM to the VM OS X can only use the other 6GBs. As for the CPUs OS X can use all the cores and or Virtual core as all current Intel CPUs show as double the physical number of cores. So if you have a Dual Core i5 it will look like you have 4 cores. It's done with HyperThreading.

Some system sounds stop playing. Alternatives to fix-by-reboot?

I have noticed that at some random point Leopard (10.5.5) stops playing certain system sounds. These sounds include e.g. thrash can emptying / dropping, sticky keys sounds etc. They don't include however all sounds like the beep that you hear when you alter the volume.
From activity monitor one can see that coreaudiod is taking up some % from cpu. After killing the coreaudiod the system sounds returned immediately (coreaudiod is restarted right away).
Previously I have been fixing this with reboot (which obviously work), but I hope this helps somebody to get back their lost system sounds without the need for reboot.
btw. the coreaudiod should be fixed

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
Do you have any 3rd party audio apps such as AirFoil or WireTap installed?
If you open the Audio MIDI setup and under Audio devices, Default Output, if you see some SoundFlower or other listings, that is usually the problem.
If you only have "built-in output" then the problem lies elsewhere.
FYI: There is an entire forum for coreaudio, well hidden

Transmit FTP - Mini won't play system sounds

In Transmit FTP 3.5.3 (latest version), you can choose to play a "system sound" upon successful transfers. You can choose any of the Apple system sounds from a drop down menu, from within the preferences of Trasmit.
The sound was working fine, but now I can't seem to get the sounds to work. If I open the preferences and choose a sound, any sound, but say Basso, it will select it, and then when I close preferences, and come back, the sound will be changed back to none.
The sound was working fine the other day, and I haven't changed anything. Is there a corrupt sound plist file or something somewhere? I reinstalled Transmit, deleted all plist files for it, and still not sound.
Can anyone else confirm trouble with the sound for transfers, or is it just me, and what can I do to my mini to get it back to work. I'm using the Core Duo mini.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hi KL archeo,
If you are only having issues with audio when playing videos (i.e. Music player appears to be fine), and only through the headphone jack (internal speaker appears to be fine), then you may want to try backing up all your data in iTunes, doing a full factory restore, then testing to see if the issue persists before restoring your data back. You may find the following article helpful:
