Possible audio bug in Leopard 10.5.4?

Hi guys,
I've recently moved to a MacBook running Leopard 10.5.4, and found the following weird problem.
After a while I use Itunes through my headphones, and I hit the pause button, the kernel_task goes crazy, going from -880 to 3,200 (yes, I'm serious!). If I unplug my headphones, kernel_task goes back to normal. Plugging the headphones back, it goes crazy again, but if I let ITunes play, the problem disappears. I've also tried this with VLC, and for a few seconds of the Avi file I'm opening, there is no sound on the headphones, then the sound comes back, and kernel_task goes back to normal.
This is independent of the headset, since I've tried with various headsets, and speakers. Also, Console doesn't report anything strange going on.
Of course, I've tried quitting Itunes, and any other running application, but the problem is still there.
Any idea about it? Could it be a bug in the audio management of Leopard?
Thanks in advance,
Sandro

I've not had this problem, and I've used at least two other sets of headphones besides the set that came with my iPhone. Did you update to 10.5.4 or was it already installed on your MacBook? If it was an update, I'd recommend performing a 10.5.4 combo update, which will replace any corrupted or damaged files that may have changed since the update. It can be found at: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1054comboupdate .html
Last questions: did you boot off of your Leopard DVD and run the Apple Hardware Test, and did you try to replicate this in Safe Mode? (boot while holding down Shift) If there are no remedies and Console still shows nothing, you could wait for 10.5.5 to be released, or call AppleCare.

  • USB audio Codec bug in Leopard

    Does anybody know when Apple are going to fix the "USB audio codec" bug in Leopard? I has a USB mic that get a annoying scratchy noise after 5-10 minutes when I record in Garage Band and Logic.

    But this mic is for Mac too. It's says that you "plug and play". I bought this microphone to record my music work at home.
    This is the website, It says that works fine with Garage Band but ...

  • Re-Conforming and Audio Bug nightmares

    Hi,
    First, let me say that I've searched throughly about those problems before I came in here.
    I own a company and we used to use FCP7 to edit our weekly show.
    I've moved all suites to Premiere CC 7.2.1
    Our workflow is a bit different than before, since PP can handle original files, in our case .mts sony AVCHD FullHD from FS700, NX70 a Handycam and the MP4 from GoPro Hero3.
    Our main problems right now have been:
    Re-Conforming:
    I've searched about this and these are the possibles solutions
    - Turn the creation of XMP off
    - Disable XMP metadata linking
    - Direct the cache and database files to the same external harddisk that our media is in
    - Direct the scratch disk to the same Harddisk as the media.
    - Media been on a Network volume and Computer clock / daylight saving time shifting.
    - Before opening a project in a different machine, make sure to redirect (to find) the cache to the disk your using
    I must say everything above was tested and dealt with but still. We have seen projects re-conforming by it self everytime we open PP. It normaly happens when moving from computer to another one. But sometimes happens on the same machine, between two days apart, with nothing different.
    And the re-conforming takes a lot of time.
    Audio Bugs:
    Sometimes the waveform doesn't show up. Now this has a workaround, just go to clip > audio options > re-render audio. But it's annoying.
    And more serious sometimes we got an audio looping 1sec over and over, even though the original is perfect, trying to re-render doesn't help. re-importing the clip doesn't help. Only deleting ALL the preview files (because you can't know which is which) that works.
    Is there anyone with solutions (definitive) for these problems?
    Regards

    Hi Jim,
    As I said, I'm using external USB 3.0 drives. No Network drives whatsoever.
    All these:
    System
    Projects
    Cache/Scratch
    Media
    Exports
    Are in the USB 3.0 Harddisk.
    If you are refering to the same drive as the OS that's not a solution as in some machines I have 160GB SSD.
    Cheers,

  • Nasty iCal bug in Leopard

    Hi
    I think I have discovered a very nasty bug in Leopard iCal.
    If I try to do any kind of search in iCal, by typing in the search word into the search field, the list of found items is empty, although I can clearly see the items dimmed in the month view. The same thing works fine in Tiger (10.4.10).
    Exporting (backup database) the iCal data from Leopard or Tiger and importing it back (revert) into iCal does not help.
    This one sure is a show stopper for me, unless there is some workaround.

    More detail on the iCal black box problem.

  • I've installed LION.  Is it possible to put Snow Leopard on an external hard drive?

    I've installed LION.  Is it possible to put Snow Leopard on an external hard drive?

    I was unaware of this change for usb support! However Babowa makes a good point in that you would probably not want to run SL via USB and rather Firewire.
    Having said that, the 13" MacBooks do not have firewire.
    But again as Babowa points out, that machine wouldn't be able to run Lion anyway.

  • I have a 15" MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed.  I have partitioned the hard drive into two partitions.  Is it possible to install Snow Leopard on the second partition?  If so how do I do it?

    I have a 15" MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed.  I have partitioned the hard drive into two partitions.  Is it possible to install Snow Leopard on the second partition?  If so how do I do it?

    If your MacBook Pro had Snow Leopard on it at one time then sure. (Early 2011 or earlier)
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    Obviously choose the second partition to install into. It has to be OS X Extended journaled formatted in Disk Utility (BootCamp software makes it a MSDOS/FAT32 formatted partition if you used that to partition with)
    If it's a Early 2011 or Late 2011 that came with 10.7, it's possible, but it's not easy.

    If you can't install Snow Leopard, there is a thread over at MacRumors how to run Snow Leopard in a virtual machine program under 10.7 or 10.8

  • Audio bug with WAV files: use mp3, not wav for syncing long audio files

    Just a tip:
    I've noticed another audio bug in Presenter (including 7.05) but there is a workaround. I often export the audio as a single, long clip from pre-recorded lecture videos, and sync it with the powerpoint slides in Presenter. I've found it easiest to import the long audio file into the first slide, then sync using the Edit Audio window. I find that much easier to use than the Sync audio window.
    However, If you use WAV format for the imported audio file, sometimes Presenter will simply refuse to play back anything beyond about 5 minutes into the timeline in the Edit Audio window. Nothing fixes it - restarting, re-importing, etc. However the problem goes away if you save the audio as mp3.

    Why did you post this in the LiveType forum?
    I would recommending posting your question in the Final Cut Pro forum.
    Have you tried trashing your preferences?
    Anyways... here is a thread with a similar problem:

  • CS4 PPro Audio Bug???

    This has to be an audio bug, right?
    There is a "main" sequence consisting of 14 nested sequences. Each of the 14 nested sequences are a "target" sequence (Adobe help terminology) made by nesting a multi-camera sequence and going through the cut process.
    When these 14 targets are made, the audio works.
    Now, back into the main sequence, two of the 14 have no audio. Render Work Area and Render Audio do not help.
    I went to the target sequence and its audio was now gone. So I tediously rebuilt the sequence and the target audio was now present. Went to the Main sequence and the audio was present.
    But then I performed a Render Audio on the main, and immediately upon completion, the audio was gone!!!! Just for sequences 1 and 2 (the audio is still functional with the other 12 sequences).
    I repeated the entire tedious experiment, and it happened a second time!!!
    I compared the Sequence Settings of the working sequences and the non-working sequences, they appear to be identical.
    (Vista 64-bit, quad, 12GB, blah, blah, blah).

    What kind of media, what sequence settings?

  • Is it possible to install Snow Leopard on an external hard disk?

    I was wondering if it is possible to install Snow Leopard on an external drive that I use as a backup start up disk. Can I then boot up off of either disk? I would like to test Snow Leopard with my applications before I install it on my internal drive.
    Thanks

    You can install from your install disk and migrate from your internal during Setup Assistant.
    If all is well you can then use SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner both free for cloning to clone the system on your external to your internal.
    This is what I do when testing upgrades/updates.

  • Podcast Audio Bug

    When playing podcasts the sound cuts out after system notifications and locking and unlocking. It's exactly like the audio bug I experienced on my first gen phone after an OS upgrade. I'm not sure if this is new since upgrading to 4.0.1 It only happens with podcasts, other MP3s don't have the problem. Can anyone else replicate this?

    Christian Gloddy wrote:
    MP3s and other media files can vary widely in the kind of metadata they carry and Apple certainly accounts for that in their software. The fact that I stumbled on a scenario that AppleTV trips over but all of it's other products do not, I would think it would be something I would think Apple would be interested in fixing, instead of saying that it's not their problem. I would assume Apple would want the same level of quality with AppleTV that it has with iTunes, iPod and the iPhone.
    in which case, this is not the place to report "bugs" to apple.. this is a user-to-user support forum (no apple input).
    if you want to report your "bug" then you need to do it via the official channel - http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
    ps. i don't need a lesson on metadata. however the metadata is set by the podcast producer.

  • How It Was Fixed (Possible Software Bug Not Hardware): Getting the iMac Screen/Menus Garbled and/or Yellow Circle Before Getting Into Finder Issues?

    Hi. Possible fix done to my late- 2009 iMac's screen/graphics issue that may work God willing, hopefully for most [In my case it sometimes had that yellow circle that appears before it goes to the Finder but mostly it was a messed up desktop and menus (unreadable mostly) after months, prayers and weeks of fixing it; recommended to be read entirely first coz' it's a bit complicated (like a lot of subplots). If uncomfortable to try coz' it involved a GPU stress test, contact your authorized Apple service center for their advice]. I had an iMac (late 2009) screen garbling a few hours ago (was weeks ago when it resurfaced until it got worse that it's at every boot on Mavericks):
    †        I booted to Snow Leopard USB external (my back-up OS) drive then run the first    person shooter at redeclipse.net. I set everything to max, including the display, resolution and graphics setting with fullscreen and v-sync on. I then refreshed it which brought it back to normal (I then tested it's stability with GPUTest 0.7 with Furmark for 15 minutes). * if the display options have been set to max before, bring it back to the default then refresh and then max it again Possibly any games that's has the graphic settings (or more advanced) of Red Eclipse could work (other free ones are Xonotic and Open Arena which are based on Quake 1 or 3s engine I believe).
    Optional but not recommended (have warrantied if that's still available or have it repaired at authorized service centers):
    If that doesn't work, review articles and videos on how to open an Intel iMac and get an iPhone/iPad/another way to get to the 'net ready for research (I opened mine very carefully on the right side with a cutter with blade extended far prying it carefully then I inserted a flat end, sturdy plastic used for mixing epoxy then removed the cutter carefully to let the plastic mixing tool do the prying) to see if the cable connected to the logicboard which is on top of, is connected (mine was detached but I'm not sure if the adjusting and tilting of the screen overtime for 2 & 1/2 years, detached it) then do † above again.
    It could to be a software problem, a possible Apple ATI driver bug that takes overtime to surface (2 1/2 years it resurfaced because this started in my case after upgrading to Lion when Apple coded things mostly from the ground up. Snow Leopard didn't have this problem). 
    Thank you for your time. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/great upcoming weekend. I hope this helps.

    Does an external display also act in a similar manner as the internal one?
    Some earlier Intel-based iMacs had graphic processor card issues; not sure what
    the symptoms of the majority of them were, but some had odd patterns, others
    went black, and some would range from OK to totally unusable. Among others.
    So there is a chance the graphic processor may be going out; or just the circuitry
    that controls the backlight. An inverter may be weak or other circuit to the display
    could be wearing out.
    http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    If you have access to an Apple Store with Genius bar, they can perform some kinds
    of diagnostic tests there even though the computer is out-of-warranty; that may be
    of help to narrow down the cause of the symptoms you've noticed. They may not be
    able to repair it, however, at an Apple Store; as it is rather old by today's standard.
    An Apple Authorized Service Provider could do repairs and testing on older models
    the Apple Store's Genius and other may not be set up to handle due to vintage.
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    Visit an Apple Retail Store
    There is a country locator page to help find either of the above in regions outside
    of the US & Canada, not sure how the above links would work; and it appears my
    bookmarks to the country locator page may not be accessible now to post here.
    You may be able to get an idea about what kinds of parts support the display
    function by name by looking into an iFixit.com repair guide for your iMac series.
    Hopefully the parts supporting the display are the reason it is dimming down, as
    a graphic processor failure likely would exhibit other behaviors than just dimming.
    PS: I see you've added content to your thread after I'd started working on this
    & the answer likely is a hardware repair; professional testing is worth the time
    and you seem to have at least one other thread on the same topic....
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Capture audio static with Leopard?

    I just upgraded to Leopard and started capturing a new project with FCP. I now have static in the audio I didn't have before. Anyone else experiencing this. I've switch cables, drives, video playback decks and still get added static on all tapes. The audio on the tape when monitored with earphones is static free. Any ideas? Thanks.
    Gary

    Thanks for the reply. All cameras are set to 16 bit audio. Nothing has really changed except the Leopard OS upgrade. I am getting a warning box about the audio possibly not syncing, but there is no sync problem. I'm just curious if I'm the only one having this problem with audio static on capturing after the Leopard upgrade. Thanks for any help.

  • Audio bug in 10.7.3

    I recently updated to 10.7.3, and like many others, I seem to have no audio with my iMac (intel). I am able to get it working by resetting PRAM and SMC. However, when I power on my computer the next day, have to reset PRAM and SMC each time to get my audio to work again.
    Obviously, this is a software issue, is there any current projects to fix this bug?

    I would get Pages, if it is word processing AW documents, and try to open them without changing the system back to Snow Leopard. You could have Snow Leopar d on an externalhard drive if you really need to have Rosetta and AW.

  • FxFactory Plugins Causing Audio Bug

    Hiya,
    So...I seem to be dealing with a bug within FCP when Noise Industries FxFactory plugins are installed. I'm confident that I've narrowed it down to this plugin suite.
    Basically, when FxFactory is installed and Final Cut is running, if you affect any of the audio meters in the Audio Mixer window, the video lags to a stuttering stop and no level information is imparted to the tracks.
    I can level the audio when the playhead is at a standstill and not playing, but one cannot mix live.
    I'm curious if anyone is suffering the same issue, or knows of any patch, as we need to be able to mix live and utilize these plugins if possible.
    Thank you for any and all replies!
    Cheers,
    asher.

    For the benefit of anyone watching this thread (or simply stumbling upon it during a search) the issue was discovered and fixed in FxFactory 2.0.7. If you experience this problem, please download and install a fresh copy of FxFactory from our website:
