Smithsonian Channel Sound Issue

Hello,
I notice that on Smithsonian Channel HD sound fades from the normal volume to lower volume then back to normal . Anyone knows why its happening?
thx

I haven't heard reports of this happening from others. Is this still happening? Is it happening on other channels as well? Is it every program on that channel or just a certain one? Please reply back if further assistance is required.

Premiere Elements 12: 6 channel sound issue

I have Premiere elements 12. I'm importing a movie clip with 6 channel sound. When I playback in the editing window, I only hear the 2 rear channels. Since my laptop only has stereo speakers, I want to be able to either
a) collapse the 6 channels into 2 stereo channels or
b) select which speakers to hear (the front stereo pair rather than the rear pair)
I can't find anywhere to change these settings. can anyone help?

ATR,
Other than expanded info, I do not see how that differs from what I said, but perhaps missed something.
One popular mis-conceptions is with the LFE. Many think that it contains all of the lower-frequency audio, when it seldom does, at least in a professional 5.1 mix - it is for Low Frequencey Effects, hence the official name, LFE. It does drive a sub-woofer, in a DD 5.1 SS system, but most of the stream that feeds that will be specific low-frequency streams, usually added in the studio. Some recording systems do feed more of the regular Bass to the LFE Channel, like some cameras, that shoot 5.1, but it is not how the LFE should be used - how it was designed and employed by the engineers. It was designed for earthquake rumbles, explosions, etc., and usually contains material right at, and below 20Hz - sub-sonic material, that is more "felt," than "heard." When mixing for DD 5.1 SS, I will feed from about 25 - 30Hz and below, to the LFE Channel, but little above that range.
Otherwise, it appears that I said about the same - where do you think that I went wrong?
Good luck,
Hunt

Backround audio too loud for the Smithsonian Channel

I'm not sure if this is something Comcast has a hand in, but for the Smithsonian Channel, the background music is louder than the main audio. Watching Aerial America is nearly impossible since you can hardly hear what the guy was saying.

I think I might have figured out why the volume is bothering me.
On my iMac, I have a decent set of Creative external speakers hooked up and it has an external volume/bass controler w/ headphone jack. I've set up the volume on the speakers to a comfortable level, and use the iMac internal sound control to do minor editing - which is normally set around 11 out of the 16 "notches" and that way I can increase/decrease w/o fiddling with my Creative volume control.
But when I unplug those speakers out of my iMac, I end up with the insane volume that I'm not used to (I jumped when the sound played and had to mute it. XD I think I should start video logging my troubleshooting for the lulz.) I also figured out that the system remembers the sound levels when you plug/unplug headphones/external speakers. Very handy. :3
So, I'm just used to having a fine tuned control over my sound, and when I started playing on my MBAir, I thought something was wrong. I'm probably just going to go get myself a really good set of headphones that have a volume control on them so I can get the same results I get from my iMac.
Thanks for the help! <3 I'll let y'all know if I run into anymore problems!

Sound issue with apple tv

hi ,
I am getting sound issue with my apple tv recently. when you navigate around the apple tv menu, the sounds are there but when i try to play any video, the sound is not coming out. (Same with airplay)
The issue can be fix with restarting my apple TV. However, i want a permanent fix. it's not APPLE product at all to always restart to get the apple TV to play sound.
Anyone know any permanent fix? All the software are latest.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.

Where did Smithsonian channel go?

The channel listing for Extreme HD shows the Smithsonian channel. However, that channel does not appear in the guide and there is no signal on the channel listed. So what happened to it?

Are you referring to channels 134/634? I also have the Extreme HD package and I have the Smithsonian channel in the Guide and the channels are both viewable on 134/634. Where are you located? Maybe it is just a local issue of some kind.

= try this web page and see if you have a problem. It crashes my audio before any of the videos finish.
http://www.vimeo.com/channels/vjhd#77438
media center music with visualization will crash it too.
It doesn't suprize me its a bios setting. I think the whole thing has to do with latency and board timing.
Overall I'm pissed. creative could just come out and say,"Look, the older products are not compatable with windows 7. Go out and buy a new creative windows 7 compatable card" But they haven't. They have said that x-fi is totally compatable with windows 7 and its not. win 7 is out. The RTM has been out for months. They have had time to make drivers. They just haven't done it. I use a lot of audio applications day to day. I'm tired and pissed off about having audio crashs.
seriously, just release a quick fix with basic sound and worry about all the eax **bleep** later.

HP Envy 4-1215dx Sound Issues

Hi, I own an HP Envy 4-1215dx. It's a great unit overall, but I am having problems with the audio on it. From the day I took it out of the box it will randomly spew out quick bursts of buzzing/crackling/digital noise whenever I try and play some sort of media, it will appear to have stopped for a while but then start doing it again, it is quite intermitten. It does it with sound from the internet such as youtube, playing MP3's, and even in Games. It is extremely irritating and I need to find a solution. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers and have had no luck. Doing a quick google search, I found out that there are several other people with the same problem, yet the only answer they get back is to reinstall the drivers. I have done this already and it does not fix the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello Livingedge,
I understand that the driver is an older version. This is the version that is available for your specific product on the HP Driver & Software page. I have been able to locate a driver that is also IDT, but the release date is 2013-09-30. I have included that driver here for you 'IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver'.
If this driver fails to resolve the sound issue, I would keep an eye on the 'HP Driver & Software' page. This is where if and any updates are available, will be provided here.
Thank you.

Strange sound issue on iPad2

my mom is having odd sound issues on her iPad 2 that i was able to somewhat fix. and it goes from fixed back to broken o.O
i thought it was interesting and worth mentioning, in case this happens to anyone else.
her iPad 2 is up to date on the latest iOS (5.0.1) and the issue occured while she was watching a video in YouTube. sound is totally off in all apps. in Settings>General under 'use side switch to' it is set to 'mute'. when going to Settings>General>Sounds the volume control for ringers will work and cause the ringtone to play, so it seems the speaker itself is fine. however it will only work there and for that short time. afterward sound will continue to remain off. the volume control on the side of the unit will bring up the on screen speaker icon, except it doesnt show the bar that usually goes up and down with the volume. and sometimes at the top of the grey box it will say 'sound effects'. ive also tried switching the mute on and off which changes nothing.
the one thing ive found that changes anything is the multi tasking bar volume control (double clicking the home button and then sliding all the way to the left, where it shows a screen orientation lock, brightness slider and a volume control bar). now the volume control bar is unfilled and doesnt show the dot that you can slide up and down to change the volume. however when i plug the iPad 2 into a computer (any computer seems to cause this) the volume control bar will suddenly fill and the dot will appear. now suddenly sound works in all apps and will change with the side control again as normal.
now heres where it gets even weirder!!!
sometimes when unplugging the iPad 2, after a short while volume will slowly fade out and be unresponsive again. the side buttons stop working and the volume control in the multi tasking bar will be unfilled and unresponsive. repeatedly plugging it in, going back to the multi tasking bar volume control and unplugging will eventually bring volume back. a couple times ive gotten volume to stay on and the volume bar to stay responsive by unplugging it while im in the multi tasking bar. but sometimes this is not the case.
for the record, ive tried 'turning it off and on again' and resetting all settings and erasing all content and settings (both with starting up from a back up on iCloud and PC, and starting up as a new iPad). ive used two different laptops, one with Windows Vista and one with Windows 7. the iPad is synced with one laptop but aside from using iTunes to back it up and for charging, ive not made any changes to the iPad using these devices. during the entire duration of my attempts to fix it, the iPad has been on no lower than 80% power. ive also called Apple and discussed this with an Apple Care representative. who suggested all the same things id already done, and walked me through all the fixes to make sure i didnt skip anything.
hopefully and most probable is that its just an issue with iOS 5.0.1. i also have an iPad 2 thats up to date with 5.0.1 and ive not had this issue, YET.
i just thought it would be beneficial to the community to share this issue and get word out that this is happening. i would like to hear everyones thoughts on this issue and if this has happened to anyone else. the Apple Representative that i spoke to had not heard of or had to deal with this issue so it sounds like its rather new or rare. though she did mention that this is not normal behavior for the device and might be a software issue.
id like to conclude with my love for Apple, and how user friendly iDevices are in general. ive had iPods from the very first generation and all of them still work (though the older ones cant be updated past a certain iOS). the few issues ive ever had were easily fixed with a visit to the Apple Store or searching on the Apple Support Communities. so as with before, i will remain positive and look forward to a bug fix in the next update.
-thanks in advanced for reading, and any comments

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Sound issue on iphone 4 - 7.1.1

My mom has an iphone 4 that was handed down to her from my sister. After one of the ios updates...can't remember which one...the phone stopped giving audible notifications for text messages. As I have tried to troubleshoot this issue I have discovered the other following problems:
The phone will not play music on any speaker. I was trying to connect the phone via bluetooth to a speaker bar and when I tried to play pandora, I got nothing. I then disconnected the bluetooth to see if I would get sound out of the phone's speaker and got nothing. I attempted to play a downloaded song and got nothing.
I then tried to see if I could find other issues and I did. When I go into settings>sounds>ringtones I can switch ringtones and hear the ringtone sample. When I go into settings>sounds>text tone, I can select any tone in the list and all I get is a vibration, no sound at all from any of them.
I also found that when pressing the volume up and down buttons on the side of the phone do not produce the pop up box that shows volume going up and down
I believe these three problems to be related as some kind of systematic software bug. Can anyone confirm this or offer a possible solution. Keep in mind the phone does make sounds when someone calls also from the speaker phone. The only non-sound issues are text notifications and playing music. I find this to be a rather important problem because the phone can really no longer be used as a phone since my mom continually misses text messages because she does not get an audible notification.

Hello hiknmt06,

Windows Vista major sound issues

On my 2 month old Unibody Macbook, I'm experiencing severe sound issues with bootcamp 2.1 in windows vista. While playing games such as Halo 2 or Fallout 3, which the macbook graphically handles exceptionally well for a laptop, the sound crackles and often disappears! To get the sound back I have to reboot my macbook. Help, this is extremely annoying, and apple won't do a thing about it!!! Please help!

Sound issues with MacBook Pro

I am experiencing sound issues with my MacBook Pro. I am using a headset and when I am on a skype calsl I have a hard time hearing the other person, the sound is coming in and out and sounds digitized. This issue only started recently, the sound had been working fine for years before this issue.

I do not use Skype, but may be information from the below linked article helpful.

Sound issues in iOS6

I'm having random sound issues since upgrading iPhone to iOS6. For instance, after using iMessage I will sleep the phone without exiting iMessage. 5 mins later I will have messages sent to me but there were no sound notifications indicating such. Only if I exit iMessage prior to sleeping the phone will I hear notifications of new texts or iMessages. Also, random sounds like the swoosh when sending an email will mute randomly. I have to shut the phone off and restart before it works again. Why is this happening?

If you have a iMessage open and into a message, normally it will not sound. I think it is because you already have it open and in it. That is what I have noticed.

What is a packet problem? I'm having sound issues.

I'm at my wit's end. I am having sound issues. I've run diagnostic tests and everything comes back as OK, but it's not OK! Something somewhere is messed up and I can't figure it out.
I have been to the help rooms on paltlak and opened up support tickets and everything they told me to try has not helped. They suggested I change the sound tuning on my chat program, change exceptions on my firewall, uninstall and reinstall chat program, uninstall and install earlier version, download drivers for sound card, and etc. Nothing is helping this problem.
Someone mentioned that it may be router problems or packet problems. I'm not sure what that means, and that is why I'm on this forum asking for help. I have no other sound problems on my computer. My music and videos play fine. It's just when I'm in a voice enabled chat, do I experience these problems, or if I'm on a website that has videos, the video will not load all the way, so I only get 30 seconds of a video. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
I have used this chat service for over 5 years and up until a week or so ago, it worked fine. I did a complete reformat of my computer in hopes that it would help, but I'm still having the same problems. I lose sound within 5 seconds of entering the chat room. Then it takes between 3-5 minutes before I hear sound again, but then I only hear it for a few seconds. Then it goes away for another few minutes. Repeat. Over and over again.
I'm running Windows Vista on an Acer Aspire 380 with wireless cable modem. I keep losing sound in any voice/sound enabled chat and on any site that has videos. I have 1gig of ram, 300 gb hard drive, 32 bit operating system, 2 processor cores, directx version 9, realtek sound card. Everything is up to date, and firmware is up to date. My speed test is: download: 6.162 mbps and upload: 926 kbps.
When I do the ipconfig/all, it shows
Tunnel adapter local aera connection* 6: Media State: Media disconnected
description: teredo tunneling pseudo-interface
dhcp enabled: no
autoconfiguration enabled: yes
I don't know if this has anything to do with my sound issues on the chat program or not. ??
Also shows:
node type: hybrid
dhcp enabled: yes
autoconfiguration enabled: yes
default gateway: 192.168.1.1
dhcp server: 192.168.1.1
netbios over tcpip: enabled
If by chance it is a packet problem, how do I fix that?

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it just started recently and after not being able to fix the problem, I completely reformatted my computer and started with a fresh slate, but still having the same problems. The videos will not continue to load. They get less than half way and then just totally stop loading, therefore I only get to view the video up to the point where it stops loading. I just took your advice and I disconnected the router and connected my computer directly to the modem and my sound issues were fixed. I went into the voice chat and had sound for over 10 minutes (and then I disconnected) instead of the usual 5 seconds that it'd been. So is it the linksys that is causing this? If so, how can I fix it? Thank-you. Message Edited by nightrider7000 on 01-22-2008 11:34 AM

Macbook sound issue after standby

Hello,
Bit random issue here..
This is not consistence but it is totally random. Randomly when i open the macbook lid when it comes out off standby by i hear a weird "ripping" sound issue i think its coming from left hand speaker or side. Im assuming its the speaker.
Its hard to explain its starts with a weird fuzzyness and then it turns into a rip type sound and stops.
It last about 2 seconds and is random and only happens after putting up lid.
Is this normal? any ideas?
thanks

Upgrade kernel to 3.1.5 still not fix the sound issue
On 12/14, I upgraded imagemagick, pcre, texinfo, virtualbox-modules, wxgtk with `pacman -Syu`,
after reboot, the sound comes back, everything works fine just like before
But on 12/16, I lost the sound again, only found these line in kernel.org
Dec 16 09:28:29 localhost kernel: [75508.452468] ice1724: Too long irq loop, status = 0xff
Dec 16 09:28:29 localhost kernel: [75508.452468] ice1724: Disabling MPU_TX
no matter how I tried to reproduce the upgrade on 12/14, still unable to fix the
issue, and those warning didn't show up again, I also boot into live USB to check
if this is hardware problem, but sound works normal in live USB
it's so weird...
