Recording trouble. Audio levels are normal and then quiet?

As you can tell by the title, I have no idea how to properly phrase this issue. Anyways, I have had difficulties recording on this computer...
Information to keep in mind:
- The model is Satellite C655D-S5200
- I have owned this computer for nearly two months
- This problem has been present since the first day I tried recording with it
- I record with Audacity
- This problem occurs in other programs, such as the default webcam program that came installed with this computer model.
Since I can't really seem to put what is going on into words, I thought it would be best to upload a screenshot of the problem. Also, I have included a screenshot of my current recording device. Hopefully the screenshots work. Otherwise, I'll do my best to describe the problem.

Just to make sure I'm understanding, when you're recording something that's at an approximately non-fluctuating audio level, the recording drops substantially. The audio level of the recording is dropping even though the audio level of the source is not, correct?
You could try reinstalling the audio driver.
Conexant Audio Driver(v8.54.1.0; 02-23-2011; 42.15M)
I've never heard of this kind of issue before. If that doesn't solve it, I'd suggest contacting technical support at (800) 457-7777.

Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it. It will now fit the screen. Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes. The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds. Apple should fix this. Should.

My iphone 4s shuts itself off all the time. starts normal and then shut it off and start all over again, what is wrong?

Your iPHone is designed by intention to shut off when there is a reason for the softwarer to believe that danger is immenent to the hardware. This can occurr if the software is running applications that have been corrupted due to all types of different scenarios. My best advice to you would be to restore your device back to default manufactures settings and do NOT restore the current backup of the IOS program currently running.
If this corrects the problem with your device intermittently restarting you will then know you have had applications there were corrupted on your device. Once you are convinced there are no issues with the hardware of your device you then are free to begin downloading software apps that were earlier on the device.
Good luck.

When burning edited footage to DVD the audio levels are low.

I have edited video footage in FCPX for which the audio levels appear fine but when I burn it to DVD and watch the footage, the audio is very low. I have then increased all audio levels in the editing footage to + 12db and burned it to DVD again. Even thgough some of the audio are downloaded tracks from itunes all audio still seem to be quite low.
Am I doing something wrong.

Is your project audio set to surround or stereo?
In the project list select the project and then click on the spanner icon at bottom right of inspector.
It will tell you. and you can change to stereo if that is what you would normally use.

Audio Level Change to and from progr

When I get into even a simple program that i made that didnt go full screen my media player music (WMP ) quieted even though there is now visable change in any audio, also and most importantly is when I load up WC3 or WoW my volume gets lowered on the media player and once again no volume controls change so there is no visable change, I've also had times were there was no sound coming from the player or game, unless I minimised the program and restarted play back in some way but then right when i get back into the game it quits. Sound Blaster Adigy SE?even this simple program that i made changes my audio level soundhttp://thesite.mine.nu:8080/elipse%20test.exeMessage Edited by CTS_AE on 04-20-20072:02 AM

Just to back up Michael. The native sample rate for video is 48khz. To work at anything other than that is to ask for problems.

Audio Levels are completely different when exported from Premiere to Audition?

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've adjusted the audio gain and volume levels on an interview I'm editing and it sounds pretty darn good in Premiere Pro. I exported the sequence to Audacity to do some hiss removal but quickly realized everything is different. The volume levels are way to high on lots of my clips? Why is this? I cannot really work with it in this current state because it would mean re-doing lots of work I've already done in Premiere. Any one got any ideas?
All the best
Kevin

Also, in the sequence the Edit in Audition option is greyed out? I can't round trip and work through the clips individually? Is there something I need to switch on or something?

X-Fi recording trouble, Re: "What U Hear" and MIDI

Hey there--
I just got a new computer, an HP with Windows 7. I had it come with an X-Fi, because that was what I had in my previous computer (also an HP, but that with Vista). I am 90% sure it's an X-Fi X-Tremegamer, but I cannot recall how to check that.
Anyway, on my old computer, in Audio Creation Mode, there was an option for recording called "What U Hear". I used that to record midi from a Midi transcription program I have. I could hit record in Audio Creation Mode, then play the midi on my midi program, and it would record perfectly as a wave.
On my new computer, while the software all seemed the same at first, I just discovered that the "What U Hear" option is gone. I can only chose from "Line In" and "Digital In".
Is there any way to get "What U Hear" back? And if not, is there any other way I can record Midi on the X-Fi?
Thanks.

I am having the same issues with my new Dell. I do not see stereo Mix or What you hear. I play alot of music over the web in chatrooms. how do i get the new drivers so i can see what you here?
Thanks

Audio Levels Are Different within program

For some reason when I am editing a multi-track project I seem to get three different levels as I go along. When I am editing a single file the levels come out as one thing. When I get the levels good, usually around -4 or so I play them back on the multi-track editor and I'm well up and over 0 into the red. On top of that when I import back into the Final Cut all the levels are completely different wiht some being low and some behing higher than in Soundtrack Pro. All level adjustments made in Final Cut were cleared out so any project I bring in doesn't have any level variations.
Thanks!!

Also, in the sequence the Edit in Audition option is greyed out? I can't round trip and work through the clips individually? Is there something I need to switch on or something?

Pages print in draft mode. first line normal and then the rest faint, how dop I restore this please

Pages printing in draft mode. First line normal and the rest is faint.
Please, how do I reset this.
Thanks
Bruce

If you are using a printer (e.g. HP) that has an Economode (powersaver) setting, leave this off. Otherwise, your prints will look washed out as though toner was depleted.
Since Pages itself does not have a selectable “draft” mode, the focus will be on your printer hardware and configuration.

Flash audio levels are all over the place

Some videos are so quiet that I can not hear it even turning everything up to 100% and then some after that are so loud I am worried I will blow out my speakers by accident. Not sure where to go from here.
sys env:
flashplugin-11.2.202.346-1
.asoundrc
pcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
device 3
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
device 3

First you should try setting up a system wide equalizer, you can read the ALSA or PulseAudio Article. Next you may be interested in Dynamic range compression to help amplify quiet sounds and compress and soften louder sounds.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compression
You can use LADSPA plugins to accomplish this, install ladpsa and swh-plugins, you will then need to set up the dyson compress plugin. this thread should be able to help you: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=99185
this site as well if you are using pulseaudio: https://www.bfccomputing.com/dynamic-ra … ulseaudio/

IMovie glitch on iPad mini. My videos are freezing and then disappearing.

I have used iMovie for a long time now and it's always been reliable. Tonight I was editing a video on my iPad and all of my footage went black. Thankfully, when I closed the app and relaunched everything was still there. However though, as soon as I press play my video freezes and then goes black on the preview part [i can still see my footage on the editing bar though.] I have tried restarting my device but the glitch continues. I really want to fix this without losing my footage. Can someone help? And do you think if I just left imovie alone during the night it will have fixed itself by morning?
Also, if it helps, I have iOS 7, an iPad mini, and the iOS update of imovie.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

My Audio occasionally moves itself and then yellow exclamation point comes up?

When I work on my IMovie sometimes and I'm scrolling to get back to the start, it would all lag and freeze for a few seconds, then when it stops all my audio has moved to different places and my video clips have changed length. Recently now, yellow exclamation points have been coming up on my audio leaving me unable to play them. If you have any solution it would be very helpful.

Katy, you are completely doing things in the wrong order. You can't burn songs if you can't even play them, and iTunes can't play them if it can't find them.
The exclamation point normally occurs if the song file, or one of its containing folders, has been moved, renamed or deleted. So if you encounter a track with an exclamation point, don't do anything else until you find the file. It is usually somewhere else on your hard drive, or else in the Recycle bin. Failing both of those, get it from your most recent backup.
After your restore it, make sure it can play. If it can play you can put it into a playlist. Then you can burn the playlist.

Why are the audio levels on a MBP so quiet?

I'm a musician and the MBP's low audio output has been problematic.
I've been using it as my main workstation at home in favor of my G5 desktop from 2003... and even as I'm running through my external audio hardware, my MBP's maximum volume is drastically lower than my G5. But in the studio, I can live with that; I don't need to blow my ear drums out anyway.
Performing live with my laptop is impossible though. My MPB gets nowhere near as loud as other laptops, even when I run through the same audio interfaces. Is there something I'm missing or this just a low quality soundcard that Apple ships with their new laptops? This is crazy. What kind of Pro laptop is this?

Open /Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup and select the output type, then alter the levels there and see how that helps ?

My audio levels are too low, what can I do about this?

I'm recording my voice, and using an external mic.
I plan on rerecording once all edits are done, but what can I do about this? I''m as close to the mic as possible. Whats my issue!?

Check the Audio settings in Captivate. You may need to increase the gain value.
Is this a USB microphone?

Recording in f4v format at FMS and then republishing to another server?

My data path looks like this:
Live Stream Encoder====>My FMS (my own server) republish to======>CDN======>Viewing Client
I want to archive the live stream at the first stop, my FMS. Adobe live docs say if I want the recorded file to be of format F4V (H.264), the stream name with which I publish must be of the format mp4:streamname.f4v. My CDN, unfortunately, requires the stream name it receives to be of the format "streamname".
How do I satisfy both?
In my onPublish() function I do two things:
1. Record the live stream to a file
2. Republish the stream to the CDN
Here is that method as it's currently constructed:
application.onPublish = function(client, stream) {
    trace("onPublish");
    //First record the stream here at this server
    s = Stream.get("mp4:streamname.f4v");
    if(s){
        s.record();
        s.play(stream);
    //Then pass the stream on to the CDN
    this.doRepublish(this.nc, stream);
Is there anyway to satisfy both requirements?

Hello ASA,
I have same issue by FMS and F4V format.
I want to archive live event at same time and to do that I record live stream in F4V format on the onPublish event.
This is main.asc codes:
[code]
//live stream fragments
var liveStream = Stream.get("f4f:" + streamName.name);
liveStream.record();
liveStream.play(streamName,-1,-1);
//Create Archive (f4v) for on-demand
var vodFile = Stream.get("mp4:" + StreamName.name + ".f4v");
vodFile.record();
vodFile.play(streamName,-1,-1);
[code]
So when I use h264 in my source event when FMS create f4v, F4V file is 320kb and just record 5 second of my event whoever my live event is more than 1 hour.
But when I don't use h264 in source event my F4V file is correct and record all 1 hour video from live event.
I don't know what's a problem
I use FMS 5 extended edition and FFMPEG for stream webcam on to the FMS
This is my FFMPEG code:
[code]
ffmpeg -f dshow -i video="A4TECH USB2.0 PC Camera" -vcodec libx264 -b:v 32k -acodec libmp3lame -b:a 64k -ar 44100 -f flv rtmp://12.11.1.3/livepkgr/liveevent?adbe-live-event=liveevent
[code]
Please advise me to solve this problem.
Many Thanks.
