Random pauses during media playback with WH-920 He...

Currently running Windows Phone 8.1 on a Lumia 925.
Bought a pair of Purity WH-920 earbuds when my old Senheisers bit the dust (after 3 years), and loved them for about 3 months... Had the right channel die, and the replacement pair only lasted a month before they went down with the same problem. Currently just got my second replacement pair... fingers crossed.
My question is related to playback after I got my first repalcement. I noticed that I was having a lot of problems with my music app and podcast app randomly pausing, requiring me to either wait 5-10 seconds before it would resume through the remote, or pulling the phone out to resume playback through the screen.
This issue seems to be related to the phone being in my pocket. If I use it on my desk with headphones, it seems to be fine, but as soon as it goes into my pocket the pausing issue starts. I'm being very careful to not crimp the cord in my pocket, my phone sits in it vertically with the headphone cord coming straight up and out... Is this a known issue with this product? If so, is there a way to fix it via a setting on my phone? It defeats the purpose of having headphones if I can't move while listening to them... It I want to listen to music while sitting still at my desk, I have speakers for that.
Thanks in advance!

I have the same MB and CPU but I am using the onboard sound and have not had any problems with that.
I can recommand that you bump up your memory voltage to 2.6~2.7 and loosen up your memory timings to something like 2.5-5-5-8-2T.
Then remove all drivers from your Audigy, disable your onboard sound and remove those drivers, shut down and install your Audigy and boot up allowing Windows to find your new hardware and then install the drivers.

Screen sleeps during Media playback (With external monitor connected)

Here's a weird one...
With no external screen connected to my T410 I can watch the BBC iPlayer without the screen 'sleeping' after 5 minutes, which is perfect..... as I don't want the screen dimming and then going into power save mode while watching anything.
However when I connect an external monitor, in Extended desktop mode, whenever I watch the iPlayer the screens shut down after 5 minutes.
Im sure there's a setting but just cannot find it.
Any help appreciated
T410(2537) -- i7 620M - Intel HD GPU (1440 x 900) - 8GB RAM - 128GB Crucial M4 SSD - 250GB Hitachi HDD - Windows 7 & 8 Pro

Has anyone experimented with tip 2 (active corners)? Perhaps it still works.

Random pauses during songs.

I've had my nano since november 2005, about a month ago while I was listening to it my ipod suddenly paused for no reason(I dont recall jerking on the headphone wire or jack at all).
Ever since then the ipod keeps randomly pausing during songs, the odd thing is it doesn't only do it when I wiggle the headphone jack, it does it sometimes even when its sitting flat on my sofa without anything at all touching it and alot of slack in the headphone wire. Also the ipod does it even when the hold button is on as well so it isnt the play/pause button.
I tried sending it to apple but under the reasons for replacing the nano there was no option for damaged headphone jacks so I chose "damaged dock port" since it is very close to the headphone jack, and I also wrote in the description that the headphone jack is broken. Apple sent back the same nano saying they couldn't find any problem with it so I'm out of ideas.
Oh and yes I've tried resetting it and everything.

hmm another question, when i try to open another service request to send my ipod in again, it says it cant because my ipod already has a service request open, even though ive already gotten my ipod back since last week when i sent it in...any idea how long it will take till i can send it in again?

Having random crashes during audio playback.

Greetings,
I seem to be having some issues with crashing during audio playback. Here are my specs:
MSI K8N Neo2 Plat (1.B BIOS)
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (Winchester)
4x512 Corsair TWINX 1024 3200C2PT (Bought at seperate times, but revisions are almost exact and they run stable)
NVIDIA GeForce 6800
Creative Audigy 2 ZS
Forton Source FSP 400W
It seems to do the same thing every time. The audio will start skipping (in more than 1 media player) and after no BSOD, the computer will reboot itself. I have it set to show a BSOD as well. It has even started to ask to check my D: drive for errors after this.
The problem first started to occur after a couple of things. I recently updated my bios to the 1.B version as stated. And a week or so ago I did a fresh install of Windows. The sound was working fine with the new BIOS, but now with the new Windows install it has had issues. Are there any known issues with the Audigy2 ZS and the new 1.B BIOS that I just didn't experience before? Granted, I did not have my old install of Windows long under the new 1.B BIOS.
At this moment I am using the AC97 onboard audio to see if that crashes as well, and just to hopefully have the random crashes stop happening. I know there are quite a few avenues to take, I am just looking for opinions on which would be the best one. Reflash the bios to an older version? Try the Audigy2 in a different PCI slot? (I had it in the 2nd to bottom as the NIC is plugged into the orange PCI) Contact Creative for an RMA or repair of the card? I only bought it on December 16th, so it's fairly new. Something else I am maybe missing? A BIOS or Windows setting?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. If I need to provide any more info, please say so and I will promptly.
Thanks.

I will appreciate your help,(again)!

Random Pausing of iTunes Playback aka skipping

Where to start: Playing music via AirTunes and Airport Express - Itunes play back is pausing at random points. Not really skipping. Never had this before. I have restarted to no avail. Over night - I played over an hour without any issues and then without any warning it began pausing again. Happens on both iMac and Powerbook.
Using Airport Extreme as base station.
Any help?

Hi,
We could argue long time on this one. You cannot determine the randomness based on playback statistic unless you are performing significant ammount of trial.
Also, your question was about the odds of having a second song from a same artist within a given period. Therefore, you will have to take into account the number of song you actually have for each artist and going this way, you are less and less talking about randomness rather than listenning to a good variaty of music.
We could argue but, at the end, there's no setting regarding shuffle mode which is your question.
A few years ago, there was such setting to reduce the probability of having a same artist being played twice. At that time, I recall Steve Jobs saying that Apple was trying to make the shuffle less random because user perception is not random. Apple decide some time ago to remove this adjustment (I don't recall the iTunes version).
Anyhow, shuffle mix your songs... I don't see the point of making statistic.

Nano pauses during podcast playback

I have the latest Nano, but recently I have found that when listening to podcasts it will pause playback every 90- seconds or so.
Is there anything I can do to correct this?

This happens with all of your podcasts? Does this happen with your music tracks as well? Does this happen in iTunes as well when you play these podcasts?
Are your headphones plugged all the way in, meaning the white part of the Apple headphones is flush with the body of the Nano?

SqlDev3.0 prod - Conn randomly hangs during opening, mainly with 11g RAC

Hi, i have been having this issue since i moved to 3.0 PROD version from EA version.
Now and then, same connection hangs during opening of connection, mainly with 11gR2 RAC databases. Sometimes it works with no changes. I don't see this problem with 10g RAC or non-RAC connection. Connection does not even make it to listener log file, so it looks like java thread gets into some hitch locally.
I wonder if somebody has found solution for this.
btw, with EA, i did not have problem with same connection. so far, i have been killing the sqldeveloper thru' task manager and then open it again (sometimes couple times, before i get thru').
Thanks

i can not use auto update from tool itself as we dont have admin rights on laptops(update feature is not able to contact download center of Oracle). so we use standalone releases of SQLDeveloper. How can i download this patch and apply it? do you have link to the patch? I did some search, it was not giving me anything useful.
I am using Version 3.0.04, Build MAIN-04.34 (From Help->About).

Media Playback With Windows Media Player and Quicktime

I just bought a mac book. Is there any way to have quicktime not the default player or to have it bring out the video from the safari window. because there are some sites that i go to and it just starts playing quicktime inside the browser video but i want it big in its own window. and is there anyway to just have the video play without the download box come up and just have the video play in whatever player without manually going to the hard drive and choosing which program to open the video with? thank you for any help
MacBook 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Microsoft AVI with codec set to None.
Or you can install the free Lagarith or UT codecs. Both work very nice with PP. Both use lossless compression, so you won't lose any quality, but will get smaller files (especially when using a YUV mode).

Metalic Distortion during MP3 playback with VLC

Thanks in advance for any help that I recieve with this issue! I'm a fairly new Arch user (I have used many other distros in the past), and I am currently up and running with GNOME Shell. I have installed pulseaudio, and the GNOME pulseaudio plugin. The problem I am experiencing is a metallic distortion of any .mp3 file that I play (I don't have any files with a different format) through VLC (though MPlayer worked fine, it wouldn't show a GUI and would not stop playing until a reboot was performed). I followed both the Arch Wiki and the Arch install tutorial provided by This Week in Linux (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azySq-uBaB8), the video was for GNOME 2.32.x, but many of the steps still worked. Is there something else that I need to install to get it working? Again, any and all help on this problem is greatly appreciated.
Solved: If you are encountering issues with Metalic Distortion through VLC or Teamspeak 3 (or other applications like them), install the pulseaudio-alsa package through Pacman and follow the steps outlined here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … _crackling . All the credit for this fix goes to the users below this post. Again, thank-you!

@Rookie, I did try SDL. It definitely appears to be slightly less distorted, however there is still a lot of distortion. I guess I will have to wait for the next version of VLC to be released. What I have found that works (though it is slower on GNOME Shell, since it uses a GTK 2+ application) is to install all of the Gstreamer plugins and then install Rhythmbox. It works with minimal distortion, and seems to have solved one of two major concerns at this point. The only other is that GNOME Shell is duplicating my menu items. However, it seems that duplication is quite common.

Random pause with docking station

I regularly use my 3g 20bg iPod with my docking station and line out to a stereo receiver. I recently replaced my original docking station with a universal docking station and have started experiencing random pauses during playback. It starts after playing for about 30 minutes or so and usually occures 3 or 4 times. Then, it is fine for for as long as I use it. If I stop playing it for several minutes and then start again, I get the same pasuing again. I am using the latest version of the software(v2.3) and have reset it and restored it multiple times over the past few weeks.

Is there a reason you can't go back to the original docking station? The problem is obviously with your new universal docking station. You might want to try and return it as defective.
I'm not sure what you can do to troubleshoot the problem within the docking station.

Audigy 2 ZX random muting during playb

I'm not sure why, but recently, the sound has been randomly muting on me when I'm playing movies or mp3s. It's not a setting change; the volume settings all remain the same. The sound just suddenly disappears. It is easy to fix; just move the slider of the media player left or right, and the sound comes back immediately. It doesn't seem to depend on the media player or what media it is. The problem also never occurs during games, only during media playback.
I was wondering if anyone might know what the problem might be.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure exactly how to check the driver version, but by going to the Audigy 2 ZX properties in the control panel, it said that the driver version was 5.2..442 with a date of /8/2003.
It has been happening for about the past week, I would guess. It does happen very rarely, but enough that it's annoying. I've run into the problem in both Media Player Classic and foobar2000, but nothing else yet. But as I said before, the problem happens rarely, and I use those 2 media players almost exclusi'vely for movies and mp3s, so I would guess that it's not program-specific.
I'll definitely try checking the surround mixer the next time that happens, and maybe try using Windows Media Player more, to see if I get the problem in that program.

Front Row pauses during DVD play

I've played at least 5 (3 of which were brand new) different DVD's in Front Row that randomly pause during play. After a few seconds the movie continues to play. I took the computer into the store to have the optical drive replaced, but it keeps happening. I tried just using DVD player and the same thing happens. Since the drive has been replaced, now I get "skipping over damaged area" when it pauses (only in DVD player). These are BRAND NEW dvds, there's no way they can be damaged already. Any ideas, suggestions, anything???

That's interesting. Since it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem, you might use the Accounts System Preferences to create a brand new user. Log out and log in as the new user. Does the DVD Player application give you the same trouble when logged in as the new user? If not, then a preference or setting your original user has must be interfering. Or some kind of preference file corruption. If the new user does have the same trouble, it might be time to run the Disk Utility and make sure your permissions are repaired and the disk is repaired. If that still doesn't help, it may be time to do an "archive and install" of Mac OS X to get a good copy of the DVD Player application back...

Mini Randomly Pausing

Hi, Could anyone provide me with some info as to why my mini keeps randomly pausing. This happens with or without the hold button on. Also, does anyone know if Apple provides any sort of callabrating program for the mini or any other of the ipods?
Thanks and Have a Great Day,
Sean

Hi seandemeter,
Unfortunately you have found yourself in the wrong discussions board! This is for the Mac Mini (little computer), not the iPod Mini. Here is a link to the place you need to be asking the same question - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=834 - there are more iPod "know it alls" over there!
Hope you get your problem sorted

Intermittent pauses during Playback with Captivate 6

I am running Adobe Captivate 6.0.0.199... "Non-Quiz" slides intermittently pause during playback, but, only the animated text... the audio continues. This occurs regardless of a variety of export configurations I have tried. Ideas?

Hello and welcome,
Please upgrade ASAP to 6.0.1.240. The version you are using has a lot of bugs, that were fixed with this patch released in October 2012 (not a typo - more than one year ago). Go to Help, Updates.
Maybe you problem will be solved with that update,
