Slight stuttering with music playback

Hi guys,
As above, I've had this issue for a while now, long before Lollipop... it usually happens at the start of playback (PowerAmp) and lasts for literally a few seconds. I'm thinking it might be my memory stick. I have an older style class 10 Samsung SD in there. Thinking I should maybe try one of these?
Any thoughts

Hi slipd,
You could try backing up the SD card and then formatting it, it may be possible that the SD card is simply having issues with data transfer.
Let us know how you get on.

  • Skipping/Stuttering on music playback

    Since upgrading to iTunes 6, music playback has become completely unusable -- everything I play stutters or skips repepepepeeatedly. I've set Quicktime to safe, checked my drivers, defragged by disk, all to no effect. I don't want to abandon iTunes for playback (not least because it will take hours to change all the .AAC files to .MP3, and I'll lose everything I've bought from the music store). How do I fix this -- failing all else, is it possible to go back to version 5, which worked fine?

    I've managed to solve this by winding down the
    "Sample Rate Conversion Quality" under "Advanced
    Audio Properties" (Control Panel | Sounds and Audio
    Device Settings | Volume | Advanced) to its lowest
    setting ("Good"!). I don't know what that actually
    does, but the audio quality still seems fine to me,
    and no stuttering.
    What that actually does is force KMixer to use linear interpolation in its resampling instead of high-end multipoint interpolation.
    If you don't get that, then what it does on most machines is to make the audio sound like total crap.
    Hey, if it works for you, then it works for you, but I would only consider this to be a last resort. The fact that this actually worked for you tends to indicate that you either have a crap soundcard, or that you have crap drivers for your crap soundcard. Updating your audio drivers might be beneficial, and replacing the soundcard with one that doesn't require KMixer to resample normal 44.1khz input would definitely be beneficial.

  • Ipod touch 1st generation stutters during music playback

    My ipod touch running 2.2.1 (5H11) which has always had updates etc kept up, has recently started stuttering during song playback. I have reset a couple of times and it plays fine for one song and starts all over again. Any thoughts?

    I am continuing to have problems with getting my ipod touch restored. I am following the directions on the faq's but it seems that my touch continues to freeze up during the restoring nprocess. Itunes continues to sync, but the ipod screen remains unchanged.

  • Keynote Sync problems with music Playback

    Dear Keynote Experts,
    after long trying I can´t fix this problem.
    I want to synchronize Pictures with 4s duration. This shall run in sync with a music playback which is 120 bpm. So it would be in Sync with the progression of the beats. At least the pictures don´t run smooth in my case during the presentation. I checkes the timing with a watch the and it seems as if the single pictures move in unequal durations. Weird?
    I tried an Update of Quicktime and tested the whole thing with a new Keynote document only programmed for this syncing purpose. No success...
    Maybe help lies in the intelligent animation tool or something like this which would help, otherwise it should be no great deal, to have the Pages properly changed each 4s.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    All the best
    Tim

    Hi Kelly,
    after a while...
    yeah I do it like this. I record the whole thing with screenflow, as Kenote does a good resolution full screen.
    I would like to export certain sections of my full grouped objects Image. I can refit it on a smaller paper size record this cutout full screen with Screenflow in high resolution, so far so good - but:
    The problem is, when I use smaller paper sizes, the whole Object gets automatically scaled and  the relations of the grouped Object are lost. Is ist possible to keep the absolute values  of the objects (1cm stays 1 cm) when I switch to different sizes of the paper.
    Thanks for your answer...
    Best wishes
    Merry Christmas

  • Slight problem with video playback

    Hi all,
    I have a slight issue with the right hand side of my 20" iMac when using frontrow. Playing back DVDs is fine, good quality but when I try to playback a Movie that I have on the HD it has a white flickering line down the right hand side, its only a thin line but very annoying. It doesn't do it on VLC but on Realplayer and Frontrow. The files are AVIs if it helps.
    Thanks in advance

    You could try adding the Codecs from Perian to Quicktime.

  • Total static with music playback since 7.6?

    Just wondering if anyone else has come across this problem?
    I installed the x64 version of 7.6 when it became available and now all I get is massive amounts of static type noise on playback with iTunes.

    Any ideas?

  • IPhone 4S screen auto lock not working with Music Playback, while connected to the Computer via USB

    Hello Everyone,
    I have an iPhone 4S, updated to the latest version of iOS (7.1). Recently, I noticed that my iPhone's screen doesn't autolock automatically whenever it's connected via the sync cable to my Laptop Computer (A Dell Studio running Windows 8.1 Pro). This happens regardless of whether iTunes is running or not. Whenever the music playback is on, the screen just gets dimmed after a while (as it always does before the screen auto-lock triggers), and stays like that. However, when I stop music playback, the auto-lock work just fine.
    I want to know, is this normal? I mean, is this the way it's supposed to be?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rajat S.

    ALSO, iTunes has been updated to iOS 12.0.1.

  • IPhone 5 issue with music playback- buttons not responding

    When playing music on iPhone 5
    - The play/skip button on my headphones does not work when pressed. If I want to pause a song, or tap twice to skip ahead, it does nothing. The volume buttons on the headphones work, but the center button does not. It DID work previously, but recently just stopped. I tried the same headphones on my iPod, and they work perfectly
    - When the screen is locked, if I double tap the home button on the phone to bring up the playback controls, it does not play when I press Play, nor does it skip forward or back. None of the buttons respond.
    It seems to be an iOS6 issue with the device not responding to the commands. Anyone know of a fix, or do we have to wait for a patch?

    I found it!!! General, Passcode Lock, and make sure that under "Allow Access When Locked" catagory Reply with Message is ON

    You have posted your issue in Using Apple Support Communities whose topic is 'How to use this forum software's interface, features and/or how to find what you wish'. It is a relatively low traffic and inappropriate forum for your problem. I will ask our Hosts to move it to Using IiPhone where it may get a more rapid response from your fellow users.

  • Iphone4 music playback smoothness

    Hi there mates, I was wondering how does the Iphone4 deals with music playback, as I'd like to replace my current Nokia N97 mini with a newer phone, assuming music playback is almost perfectly.
    Unfortunately my experience with the Nokia was pretty bad, because the playback of tracks AAC with 225kbps @44Khz suffered from effects like so-once-called wow&flutter, that is variations of music pitch during playback.
    I thought this issue very bad and promised myself to investigate properly before switching to another music-faulty smartphone.
    Gap-less playback could be another important factor. Is the Iphone4 gap-less capable?
    As my new phone should have strong music playback capabilities, what's your opinion about the aspects above?

    Allan, thanks. I hope your advise is a from an Apple-independent point of view.
    I see you have thousands post count on your side, so maybe you can help my next question: do you know if the latest iPod or iPhones have a digital-out connection within the standard iPod slot?

  • Fluctuating audio output level during music playback on iPhone 6

    Hi,
    When playing music on my iPhone 6 the volume level of the music suddenly drops sometimes and takes ages to go back to the original level. It doesn't matter whether I'm listening to music through my headphones, or when docked to a speaker or via airplay: the problem eventually happens (usually within 5mins). I've tried a factory reset, and I've tried a settings reset but neither of them worked. All I can think of at the moment is that there is an application running in the background that is interfering with music playback. Will try each one in turn and report back. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I have three other iOS8 devices (various iPad mini models) where this problem does not occur.
    Thanks and regards, Keri
    P. S. This problem happened with iOS8 before upgrading to 8.1.2.

    "How would I know which all apps render audio?  Any shortcut to find out?"
    No shortcut. You have to see whether they play audio or not. That simple. For example, Skype does.

  • Buggy music playback

    I recently bought the Nokia 515 dual sim, and I'm experiencing problems with music playback. The preinstalled ringtones work just fine but when I try to play some of my own songs it bugs out. The track plays the first few seconds then skips two seconds then goes back those two seconds etc.
    Also, on the site it's advertised that it can play .m4a files but when I try to play them it says they aren't supported. The phone is up to date.

    Thanks for the clarification about m4a. Yes, I tried moving it to internal memory before but the problem persists.

  • Control of music playback

    I just a got an iPod Touch. Previously I used an iPod Classic (circa 2004). Touch is working great but I'm not thrilled with music playback. I want to be able to download my playlist then just hit play and shuffle by albums.
    Am I missing something? I don't see many of the playback options I had on my former iPod.
    Thanks.

    Are you having trouble finding/starting your playlist? Once you start the Music application, you should see an icon for Playlists (and Artists, etc.)
    When you open a Playlist, the first thing at the top is the Shuffle option, that will immediately begin play in Shuffle/Song mode. Unfortunately there is no Album Shuffle mode on the Touch -- you can only shuffle by song.
    The other way to initiate shuffle play is while you're already playing something, tap the screen to bring up the "scrubber bar". To the right of the bar is the shuffle icon, touch it to turn shuffle ON (blue) or OFF (white). Again, there is no +Album Shuffle+ mode.

  • Problem with iTunes Music Playback

    Hi, I like using itunes but im having a problem with the music playback. If i have just itunes running and some background programs i.e. anti-virus playback of music is fine but I want to be able to surf the web, and play my games while listening to music. However when i try to so this the sound becomes muffled, choppy and can skip and slow down all in all its impossible to listen to. I thought this may be a problem with my PC but its not a slow one. I tried Windows Media Player and while browsing the net, playing my games etc playback was perfect. Also ive done everything on this page> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610 but still had no luck. Now i will use media play if i have to much i much prefer itunes ans it has all my libary sorted out. Any help would be brilliant.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Even though you LOVE iTunes, there are many other programs out there that don't require extra software to be installed for it to function....there by freeing up your CPU to run more programs.
    I would seriously look into trying something different that doesn't need to hog so much system resources....until they reduce their program's needs.
    Try something like Winamp or Musicmatch Jukebox.
    You can have your library to show up pretty much the same way that they do in iTunes. You'll just have to read through the user guides to get it exactly the way you want it.

  • Choppy Music playback with other programs running

    Have a question on Itunes 7 playback. I frequently play games (mainly WOW) with the sound on, but at a low level. I then run Itunes in the background at a high volume level so I can listen to music. My computer is high end and I never had any problems doing this before. Now that I have upgraded to 7 the music is very choppy if the game is sending any sound output to the sound card. As soon as i turn in game sound off, the music playback is fine. Any ideas besides reverting to 6?

    Rolling back to 6 won't fix every thing, I rolled back..iTunes seams to work but programs that use to work using quicktime still have the jittery, jerky sound affects.
    It was a Reason Ask DVD Video (uses QT.7 that ran fine up until iTunes 7 was installed) run the dvd and any narration gets screwed up when you roll over the application button rollovers, so it has basically stuffed up the system sound, then the video has a hard time trying to catchup.
