Slow audio file playback

I'm sure this has been addressed somewhere in this forum before, but my keyword searches have yielded nothing. It's a pretty straightforward problem, at least I think it is:
I'm running Logic EX 7.1.1 on a brand new 12" PB (1.5gHz, 512 ram, superdrive) without an audio interface - just playing through the built-in audio card. This computer is a replacement for my old G4 400 PCI, which ran Logic with no problems whatsoever. I do have a TASCAM US-122 audio interface, but I'm in a hotel room right now, so I don't want to drag it out and plug everything in.
The issue I'm running into is that any audio file I drag in to any project is playing back about a whole step below where I recorded it, and slowed down by a comparable amount. But, any and all of these audio files (WAV and AIFF) play back just fine in any other audio program - I've tried QT, iTunes, Audacity... no other app has any problem. Again, this is a problem I didn't even run into on the old G4 400...
Any ideas what's going on here?

You're probably playing back with logic set to a lower sample rate than it was when you recorded the piece, TRY getting your US-122 out and plug it in. It will probably set the sample rate back up (probably to 48khz) and the pitch/speed will follow.

Aperture Audio File Playback

In Aperture 3.1.1, I am unable to open the attached audio files from my 1D Mark IV. They seem to be attached to the photo and not a separate .wav file. In Adobe Bridge, I am able to open these files as they are a separate .wav file. I talked with Apple today and they did not seem to have any answer either. Any suggestions?

Audio file resets to beginning when I go to another app.

Just upgraded to Ipod Touch 2G from Ipod 5G Video. I've searched these forums for a similar problem to no avail.
I have imported an audio CD with no problems so far. My difficulty is that when I stop an audio file playback (or any music file for that matter) and go to another app or outside of the playlist, the file resets to the beginning. Not a problem on a 3 or 4 min music file but a 1 or 2 hour audio file can get very frustrating. I didn't have this problem with the IPod video, I could stop and play games or anything without losing my place in the file. Is there a setting or something to correct this?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have a read of these articles:
http://oakroadsystems.com/genl/itunsabk.htm
http://aldoblog.com/audiobooks/itunes/importing-audio-cds/
audio books from Audible or iTunes should do this right away.
If the files are from another source, right click on them and choose Get Info, then check the "Remember Playback position" box. If you then change the file extension in Windows to .m4b they should show up in the Audiobooks section of iTunes too.

I open a file - playback - the audio is there - doesn't appear in timeline, but I hear it, after 1 edit, the audio disappears. I have to reboot to get it back then it happens again. All suggeswtions welcome. Thank you, Randy

Is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on a Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer or a Mac computer?
What is the brand/model/settings of the camera recording your video?
Windows 7 64 bit PC
Footage taken from DVD through Adobe Premiere Elements
Are you sure about the Frame Width and Frame Height that you gave 720 x 484? Did you mean 720 x 480?
Yes, my err. 720X480
For the Frame Rate, was it really 29.97 frames per second and you rounded it off to 29 frames per second? Or,
is the frame rate really 29 frames per second?
If the properties that you just posted are representative of your source file, what project preset did you or the
project set for the project preset? If you are not sure, please tell us the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size,
and Pixel Aspect Ratio under Edit Menu/Project Settings/General.
Still having problems - haven't been able to edit project.
Thank you for your help.

I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

Importing audio files without slowing down site?

Being new to mac and iweb, i have found that with my photo gallery web site that when i attach an audio file to play when a certain page is viewed that my site load time is dramatically slowed down.
Anybody know how to speed it up?

The files used in those flash player examples are just the mp3 files from iTunes. You upload them to the Music folder on your iDisk (or to a folder on your server), copy the code from the demo page, paste into an HTML snippet, get the URL to each audio file and you;re ready to go.http://discussions.apple.com/images/status/ball-05.gif
With iTunes I suppose you could reduce the bit rate and sample rate to lower the file size but that will reduce the audio quality. You can do the same with more control with Audacity, a free audio editing application. If you take the time to learn how to use an HTML snippet you'll get superior results.

Double playback of audio files after publishing

Hello,
I'm having an issue with audio playback. Once I publish the project, the audio files play back double, with the second one starting about 3 seconds after the first. If I pause the project, one of the audio files keeps playing. I removed the auto play function, but no change. I would greatly appreciate any tips if anyone has experienced this before.
Thank you!

Hi Anjaneai, Thanks for the response.
I don't have any text captions in this project, the entire thing is from PowerPoint, where the audio files worked perfectly fine. I also checked the use count, everything reads as "1"... I also tried to begin from scratch with just one slide and one audio file, and the same thing happened. I'm beginning to think my audio files are corrupted. (However, they play fine in itunes and powerpoint). I converted them from mp4 > mp3 with an online converter... might just be the problem! I'm going to download a trial of premier and see what happens with that!
Thanks for the help,
Jaime

Sequantial playback of audio files

Need help in implementing sequential playback of sampled audio files.
The task is a simple word-based speech generation; got a number of audio files and a need to play the certain ones in the certain order after clicking the button with a possibility of repetitive playback.
I would extremely appreciate a possibly detailed explanation, as I'm not that experienced in Java :)

For a simple solution look into

and

You don't need to create an applet to use these.

Adobe Audition does not playback any audio file. He opens it but does not react on the play key.

Adobe Audition CC does not playback any audio file. He opens it but does not react on the play key. It is after use audio hardware usb wi-fi headphone and return to build-it out. The program don't react now.
I see problem:
I am unable to get playback at all in CS6 on Mac. The play button or spacebar will not move the playhead or make sound come out of the foamy things with the magnets. The play button toggles back and forth between green and white, but it isn't working. This is true in both multi track and waveform view.
Anyone have ideas on what the issue could be? Thanks!
Some Info:
MacBook Pro 2.2 i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
Mac OS 10.8.3
Audition CS6 5.0.2 Build 5
and reply:
Best bet would be to go into Preferences > Audio Hardware, verify your input and output devices are correct, and probably switch your Master Clock to the opposite setting. If that fails, we can continue troubleshooting.
I have the same problem as the author writes. But these actions do not help

Unfortunately I believe that requires purchasing the new version, and I do
not have budget approval for such a purchase.

I purchased a iBook G4 with OS 10.5.6. I imported .mov files (shot in High Definition) -- I hear audio in playback but no picture. What's wrong?

What version of iMovie is this? Where did this media come from? It's probably in a format or codec not supported by your computer.

Why can't I playback Sonority Recorder audio files?

I have transferred audio files from my Olympus Voice Recorder DM-420 to my iMac and would like to use Sonority application to playback. IMac will not play the audio files. Any ideas as to why? Thanks in advance...

Yes you can merge two audio regions
Simple way:
Create two audio tracks...
Place audio region 1 on 1st Audio track
Place audio region 2 on 2nd Audio track
Press play and adjust levels/pan/fx etc in mixer.....
Select all regions using Shift and Left click on each region
Right / Control Click on one of the regions and from the popup menu choose Bounce & Join > Join or press CMD + J
Now in the next dialog box choose Stereo or Mono mixdown
Mixdown done... Single audio file now found in first track with mixdown of both tracks....
(Rename track.region to taste)
Bear in mind track volume /pan levels etc get mixed down also so again mix to taste before joining
Done!

Trouble Slowing Down Audio Files Using QuickTime.

Hello. I am currently using QuickTime to listen to audio files. Some of these file are so fast that I need to slow them down to hear everything. However, when I click the "Slow Down" button that is located at the top of my player, the files continue to play at the same speed.
I have tried downloading the most recent version of the QuickTime player, and I still have the same issue. Any advice on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a link through to your Drivers and Downloads page at Dell:
[Drivers & Downloads for Latitude C840|http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen &ServiceTag=&SystemID=LATPNT_P4C840&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid=]
Probably best to enter your Service Tag (don't tell us what it is). Then you'll just see updates applicable to your particular configuration of C840. (Componentry can vary "within" a particular model, not just from model to model. So not all the updates I can see there will necessarily apply to your particular system.)

How do i slow down and audio file in itunes

I uploaded an audio file from my droid into Itunes, but the file plays back really fast. It sounds like the chipmunks and you can't understand it.

There isn't any way to slow it down in iTunes itself. Probably the Droid is using some codec to encode the file that iTunes doesn't fully understand. iTunes may think, for example, it is a 128k bitrate file whereas it's really 32k and iTunes plays it 4x too fast. What file format does the Droid produce?
You could try using a player such as VLC and see if it does it right.
Once we know the file format produced we might have suggests for solutions. You might end up having to re-code it which is not nice since it turns what is probably a low quality sound file into an even lower one.

Sudden slow-Downs on Audio-Video-Playback

Hello.
I recently made a Bios Update to get my mainboard detecting an Hitachi Sata hard drive. Well, it still doesnt
detect the hard drive but by now I got another issue.
Whenever I playback video and audio-files I get slowdowns on a regular base.
It doesnt matter wich codedc, player or format I use!
The more programs I open the more you notice this misery.
The reason I wrote about the BIOS update in the beginning, because this pepblem occurs even now on a freshly
installed computer with updated drivers.
Anyone an idea who could be the creator of this problem?
Respectfully,

So....
Finally flashed the 3.2 Firmware for my CPU and
the problem still exists.
Now i|m really desperate...
So you originally had 3.2 and flashed to ? 3.3. It looks like 3.3 updates the VIA 8237 contoller firmware version.
"Support ATI9800SE AGP card" No mention of fixing the SATA problem. Seems strange because the 8237 is the south bridge and I would think has nothing to do with video.
Or did you flash to the latest 9.4 series bios?
I see no mention of SATA fixes on any bios updates. MSI has a warning about the 9.1 version "This BIOS Supports dual core and E6 version CPUs. We propose to use BIOS v3.xx for system stable if you didn't install these two CPU models." Unsure about the Bios version jump. Seems kind of fishy.
Could you list complete system specs?
