SONY TV Skype Issues - no audio on KDL-46W905A

Hi,
I own a SONY KDL-46905A TV and recently bought an overpriced CMU BR200 Webcam. When I connect to another party, they can hear and see me but I can only see them. I have tried it with a few people and checked that their end is not on mute. When I switch to audio only, I can hear them (but not see them).
I think this might be an issue with the Sony application, so I factory reset the TV to prompt an app down. However, I still get no audio for calls I recieve with video.
As it stands, I have wasted my money on a web cam. Does anyone know a fix?
Neil..

Thank you Mr. MBSteed. I moved the HDMI cable from my Apple TV from the HDMI2 input on my Samsung TV to the HDMI1 input and it now works fine! I think I read somewhere that there are some differences between the HDMI inputs on the Samsung, but I don't understand them. Odd, everything worked fine until we started using Airplay, then suddenly I had no sound from the Apple TV. Hopefully this is a permanent fix. oh....I have the new Apple tv May 2013.
Thanks again.

Skype Group Call Audio History

Hello people of the skype forums, I have searched the forums on "recovering Skype Group call Audio History" but to no avail, does skype even record the call(audio) histories? I had recorded some gaming footage with my friends and my screen+audio recorder crashed midway and I was wondering whether the audio we had on the skype call can be recovered?
Also, I've found "skypelogviewer" and apparently it doesn't support mac. Does skype log viewer enable users to access call audio files?
I appreciate any assistance in advance.

Hello,
Group calls aren't possible on tablets/smart phones.

I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Skype connection and audio problems

Hi everybody,
I successfully downloaded 2.5.0.85 Skype software for Mac.
Trying to connect to their echo123 robot to check audio settings was also successful but downloaded message was very jerky (about one word evry 10 words) and not understandable. Moreover application quitted unexpectedly after some 10 to 15 seconds. I do not use any special firewall, the standard included Apple in Share folder excepted. Could somebody help ?
Thank you.

Hi,
Welcome to  Discussions
I use Skype (same version) sometimes my sound cuts in & out, I am not sure if that is what you mean by......
but downloaded message was very jerky (about one word evry 10 words) and not understandable.
I presume you are using headphones, a must have.
Regarding the crashing, go to Home/~Library/Preferences folder & find the com.skype.skype.plist file & move it to the trash.
If the crashing doesn't stop, you may have better luck with Skype 2.6 Beta,
http://share.skype.com/sites/mac/. See their help pages on the web-site,
it is a Skype issue, and you may get more help there.
Good luck,

Experiencing issues with audio scrubbing in Premiere cc 2014

Since upgrading I've been having issues with audio scrubbing in Premiere CC 2014.
Some of the time it won't scrub at all (silence) when I know that scrubbing option is turned on. Other times it will scrub the wrong section of the timeline, I'll hear dialogue from a different point in a clip.
Much of the time I experience this I'm working with multicam clips in sequences.
Working on iMac 2013, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA 780
thank you.

Currently using / testing a 30 day trial of CC 2014 (CS5 user for years with no issues) and all was fine yesterday when editing. Turned on today and had no way to scrub audio. Also had no Intensity Pro external monitor which worked fine the day before. Restarted PC and still nothing so starting poking around with the playback settings in preferences by choosing Adobe Desktop audio in the audio device section choosing OK then selecting back to Blackmagic audio then hit Ok. All of a sudden there was my external monitor and was able to scrub audio again. It's like it's sleeping knowing it should work until you poke it a few times to wake it up. How my Intensity Pro external monitor and scrubbing audio being related in any way is perplexing. Or am I being obtuse?
I would contact Blackmagic Design to make sure your drivers are current. Can you try that?

OMF CS4 issue - Seperate audio tracks output as identical files on Pro Tools import

OMF issue - seperate audio tracks outputs as identical files
I am having some serious trouble when trying to export an OMF from a p2 DVCPROHD 720p50 project in CS4, and importing it in Pro Tools. The project is complex with over 12 hours of HD-footage and many sequences and titles.
When exporting an OMF from a thirty minute sequence to work with the audio in Pro Tools, all four tracks turn out identically in Pro Tools on import. However, the tracks are different in the Premiere Pro CS4 timeline.
We have tried both encapsulated and separate audio, we have tried importing the timeline/sequence into a new premiere project and exporting an OMF from the new project with no success. However, when we started a new project and simply imported one of our p2-files, and exported an omf, it worked fine, with 4 different audio tracks in Pro Tools.
We also tried exporting 4 different OMF-files (one for each track), while having deleted all the other tracks. This remarkably also resulted in four identical tracks in Pro Tools!
The OMF does not exceed the 2GB limitation.
Can anyone help us? Have a project due on Monday, and need to start working on the audio ASAP.
FMP10SH

The "Source Channel Mapping - Default Track Format:" is set to "Use File". We recorded with a Panasonic HPX301 camera, which has three XLR-inputs, and we used all of them. So two of the tracks are identical recordings (from one of the XLR-inputs), while the two remaining are different, so in total there are three different tracks of oudio, all mono.
When we put a p2-file into a sequence it has four tracks of audio linked to it, with the corresponding sound. So everything seems to be in order in Premiere, but for some reason they end up being four identical tracks in Pro Tools. As mentioned we tried making a new project with the same settings as in the project we are currently working, and we imported a single p2 clip. We exported a sequence with this clip as an omf with all the same settings, and this time it worked. The four tracks were different in Pro Tools when the OMF was imported. So it seems that the complexity of our project, or some setting that we are not aware of but have been altered by a mistake has made this project impossible to export correctly as an omf.
But if there are any solutions to this we would be deeply grateful!
thnx

Can I import Sony .mts files with seperate audio layer into AE?

I can import .mts files from my Sony SR11 OK but the audio is in the same layer as the video content.
When I go to Edit/Edit in Adobe Audition and Audition opens Audition reports in details box, "Error:File not supported by any currently registered plug-ins."
The Audition Audio Plug-in Manager shows no available plug-ins.
Can I import the .mts file as seperate layers as one can with Premiere Pro? Alteratively perhaps, what plug-ins should I look for to add to Audition?

AE doesn't separate audio. You'll have to do it elsewhere, possibly in Premiere Pro or tools like ffmpeg/MPEGStreamclip. It's odd, though. since these components are the same in all the suite apps, a file that works in AE should just the same open in AU (without showing teh video in teh worst case). .mts is just MPEG2 or AVCHD in disguise, anyway, which the apps should open without a hitch - if it's not out of spec. I'd look into your camera settings, though. maybe you recorded to the wrong channels or an odd audio sampel rate and it's messing things up.

Issue with Audio books on my 4s

I'm having issue playing audio books on my iPhone 4s or my ipad mini. I'm running the latest ios on both.
When I attempt to play the audio books on iTunes it works fine, yet when I transfer it to my iPhone it will play up to a point then the audio just ends yet it shows it's still playing. I've tried 3 different audio books and it's always does it at the same point.
Is it a ios issue or is it a problem with all my audio books, they were fine when I listened to them on my iPhone under ios 6...... The audio books were bought through iTunes.

Look at the file extension of one of the audiobooks you're talking about. If it ends with *.m4p then it reads as music in the Ipod. Follow the path "MyDocument, MyMusic, ITunes and in your ITunes folder change the extension to *.m4b then reload it into your Ipod. That should do the trick. I downloaded a ton of "This American Life" from ITunes and that was the problem.

FCP7 to AJA Io LA to Sony Betacam SP PVW-2800 Audio Issue

Setup:
- Final Cut Pro 7
- Macbook Pro 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- OS X Leopard 10.6.4
- AJA Io LA
- Sony Betacam SP PVW-2800
- YPbPr connections between deck and AJA box
- FW400 connection to Macbook
Video works great--I can black & code just fine, and Edit to Tape perfectly. The problem is it doesn't lay the audio. I've got two tracks (A1, A2) and even tried audio mixdown just for grins. Still no audio.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help!

I've taken some screen shots of my setup, which may also help. If I need to, I'll start taking photos of the hardware.

CS5.5--Issues with audio from imported avi's & issues exporting

To Start, my laptop:
CPU: Intel® Core ™ i7-2330QM CPU @ 2.00 GHz
CPU Clock Frequency: 2.00 GHz
System Memory: 8 GBytes
Cache Memory: 1 MBytes/6 Mbytes
Manufacturer: Sony Corporation
Model name: VPCF226FM
BIOS VERSION: R1190V#
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
ME Version: 7.0.10.1203
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
I downloaded the 30-day free trial of Premiere Pro CS5.5 with all updates. To play with the program, for my own personal amusement, I wanted to edit together pieces from a bunch of avi videos that I know to play properly outside the program, tested on more than one computer.
At first, importing the files seemed to be no problem, making subclips as I went along.
However, as I continued to import files, there began to be a sound issue--sometimes the sound not being present till I was 1/3 of the way through the clip, sometimes the sound seemingly playing catch up with audio that should be earlier in the video appearing later, sometimes the sound wouldn't come up at all, and still other times I'd be, for example, on video 5 when pieces of audio from video 2 would start playing over the current video.
I initially thought it may just be a memory issue, working with many large video files.
But later, when I went to edit the subclips I made, I found that many of them no longer had sound, even if they did when I initially subclipped them.
Weirdly, in the timeline, there is no consistency, as clips will appear in the video track but only some show audio tracks too. But those with audio tracks don't always play audio and those that show NO audio tracks at all actually do play audio sometimes. Also, those that show audio tracks and don't play them sometimes will show waveforms, sometimes don't. A clip with no waveform may not play 95% of the time, but then occasionally will suddenly have the waveform and play a couple times before reverting back to no audio.
A suitable solution for this personal amusement project would just be to drop a new soundtrack over the thing but, before I even got that far, I tried exporting as avi's and mpeg4's but then get error messages such as:
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
[..\..\Src\Win\WinFile.cpp-785]
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
In case it was a memory issue, I tried starting a new project, only importing 2 videos, but had the same audio and exporting issues.
I'm getting really frustrated as I spent a lot of time importing/subclipping and then even more time prepping before that.
For those who are bound to ask, while new to Premiere, I'm not a novice with editing. I've used Final Cut Pro at work for many years (without such issues).
Thanks for your help.

Sony DCR SX65 has no audio after import

My iMovie app on my Mac Mini has lately not been loading audio after videos have been imported from my Sony DCR SX65. This is something recent as I have previous videos with sound but now it all my uploads do not have sound.

hey there William & welcome to Discussions.
is the VHS tape old or the MiniDV tape? if VHS, it could be that the signal has just deteriorated over time--it can happen w/ poor storage(heat, laying tapes on flat, not re-wound, etc...) & just age. have you tried not recording to MiniDV & just sending the VHS signals through the Sony w/ out a tape in it? it could be that one or more of you audio cables has gone bad, you may have dirty heads in either the VHS VCR &/or the MiniDV or have audio in problems w/ the Sony &/or audio out problems on the VHS VCR or maybe you have a FW issue on the Sony or w/ your FW cable. if you have access to another cam &/or VCR as well as FW & A-V cables, start swapping/troubleshooting & see if your results improve.
good luck.

Skype, Headsets and Audio

From what my experience is, the MBP is designed to use that particular type of headset/mic which has the two 1/8" mini jacks, and not the USB type. What is your experience? Here is mine...I have a MBPro with OSX 10.5 Leopard and and running Skype 2.6.0.184. I went out and purchased two different kinds of headset/mic combos: (#1) One, an Altec/Lansing with a separate 1/8" mini jack for mic, and a separate 1/8" jack for audio. (#2) The other headset is a Logitech USB combo mic/headphone set. Long story short: #1 works, #2 goes back to the store. End of story. Anyone have any success with the USB style?? By the way, I understand how to use the Mac Sys Prefs for audio.

USB is by far the best way to go. Separate jacks won't work, you will be able to hear audio but won't be able to talk unless you use a device like the iMic in most cases.
Logitech has really disappointed all mac users since they dropped almost all support for Mac with their webcams and headsets.
I use a Sennheiser USB headset myself and im very pleased with it, no drivers needed, just plug and play, works in 10.4.x - 10.5.1 sofar without any issues.
I have the Sennheiser PC-135 http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/6744
It's an old model, i got this one because of the good mac compatibility, not sure if their future newer models are just as compatible.

AVDHD - Sony NXCAM - Render Issues

Hi everyone,
I've searched all over the forums and the rest of the Internet and still can't find a definitive answer, so I need some help, please!
Here's the system specs:
Camera:
Sony NXCAM (AVCHD Format)
The camera appears to use the mp4/h264 codec, according to the manual.
Shooting:
video: 1080 / 30p (at the highest bitrate setting)
audio: 16-bit LPCM
Workstation:
Windows 7
Intel Xeon Quad-Core 2.67
6 Gb Memory
NVidia Quadro 2000
These are the steps that I have been using:
1. Copy the original footage onto a folder on the computer (I have been copying the entire AVCHD folder so the meta-data etc is all there).
2. Create a new project and sequence in Premiere Pro. I have tried many different formats, but the one that I am using is under the "AVCHD Presets" --> AVCHD 1080p30 29.97 fps at 1920 x 1080. This is the exact same setting we are recording on the camera... the camera's settings are progressive and not interlaced, and they are also not anamorphic. I understand that there are discrepancies to what is "better" or what is truly being recorded (30p vs. 60i).. I did see that in the owners manual it states the system "Video Signal" is HDTV 1080/60i, 720/60p. Either way, the settings on the camera are set to 1080 30p.
3. I can successfully import the media into the media bin in a Premiere Pro project.
This is where there are a few issues:
4. When I preview the clips, they are very jumpy, have some pixelation and artifacts, and appear to have a wobbly movement to them. Note - once they are rendered, this goes away.
5. Upon bringing this clips onto the timeline - it always shows a red line above the clip, indicating it needs to be rendered. Usually, the amount of time it takes to render is equal to real-time... I was working on a project today with 2h 30m of clips and it took over 2 hours to render. I called Adobe support, and the person on the phone ASSURED me that EVERY clip needs to be rendered.. my reply was "even if the sequence settings are the EXACT same as the clip?", and he assured me that every clip needs to be rendered always.. which I don't believe. If the settings on the sequence are right, there's no reason that the clip should have to render.
I understand that .MTS files must be stored and compressed heavily to be put on a memory card - so is this always a necessary step? Do the files need to be "unpacked" somehow? If so, why not just use tapes like before? The entire reason that our video unit switched to tapeless formats was because of the ease in workflow. If it takes almost realtime to render everything, what is the big benefit of using a tapeless format? I understand that there are some upgrades in version 5.5, but I am not sure that we can upgrade at this point, do to budget concerns.
Any help would be much appreciated - Like I said, we called support and didn't feel like we recieved any. Again, all we'd like to do is be able to import our footage and begin editing without having to render raw footage.. many of the clips we have to work with are just raw, uncut video files that need to be burned to dvd in a timely manner for training purposes. Thanks again for your support.

Thanks for the help, guys..
I tried both techniques, and there is still a yellow bar present above the clips.
I understand that the yellow bar indicates that it may not be necessary to render, however the clips still appear very jittery on the timeline just as they do in the preview monitor. Is this a 60i vs. 30p de-interlacing issue that I'm looking at?
Not to jump the gun here, but is this a situation where we should be sending files to AME if we have several hours of footage that was taken for documentation purposes vs. importing the smaller projects directly into Pr where the clips will be much smaller edits?
I guess the follow up question is, should we be using an interlaced timeline at 60i? This isn't my first choice - I'd rather be at 30p for the timeline settings.
Again, much appreciated!

Skype Issue on 5.1.1

Without earphones, skype calls work fine.
However, with earphones, the other party cannot hear me. I have tried the Echo test, which failed as well. But the echo test works without earphones. I can even record audio with the earphones but it doesn't work on skype. I have tried with two different earphones and yet the same result.
It was fine on 5.0.2. However i do not want to roll back. Anyone else here having the same problem?

I would try three things first.
1) try to adjust sky and use it in different settings for example using the external mic or perhaps is a problem with the people you are talking to and not your device.
2) it could be a problem with lollipop if so repairing the phone with Sony PC Companion can help.

3) or if you would like try booting on safe mode before you repair with PCC to check if the problem is caused by a third-party app
How to boot on safe mode on Lolipop
1. press and hold the power key
2. once you get the pop up menu
3. press and hold "power off"
4. Boot on safe mode should become available

Skype hijacks complete audio and results in shutdo...

hi there,
I hope you can help me with this rather anoying issue. I installed the newest skype version a couple of hours ago and made a call, and all seemed fine. When I tried to start watching a video the sound was on mute, also listening to online radio didn't work. Even though I tried all possible combinations and settings both on skype and on my system audio there seems to be no solution for this. However, when I try to call someone the ringing sound of skype starts and accordingly the other sounds work as well. Since I won't be able to bother all my contacts just to watch a film, i really hope you have a suggestion where I can keep skype on the system (windows xp, yes i know....) Thanks a million

Hi,
if you have recorded the whole band through microphones, the earlier versions are ambient sound pickup from the mics of the other tracks. This can even occur if a singer wears a very loud headphone which you can hear through the vocal microphone. Just make sure during your recording session that all instruments that should be recorded very precise - without ambient sound - are recorded separately in a dry recording booth.

Sony Vaio FW issues

Hello. I have some problems with my Sony Vaio FW laptop.
1. the fan is strangely always running
2. can't shutdown via the GNOME menu
3. brightness doesn't work (xbacklight says "No outputs have backlight property")
All of the above worked on a previous Arch installation and in Ubuntu >= 9.04.
I have:
- acpi-cpufreq, cpufreq_ondamend, sony_laptop in MODULES()
- @acpid, cpufreq in DAEMONS()
- my user is a member of the following groups: network, video, audio, scanner, power, users, dbus, avahi, hal, vboxusers,
- my video driver is 'radeon'; xfree86-video-ati and gnome composition works perfect.
Am I missing some vital daemon or configuration? Please help.
Last edited by napsy (2010-03-12 16:33:48)

I had acpid as marked as asynchronous in DAEMONS. When I removed the @ and rebooted the issue with the gnome menu and brightness was fixed. But the fan is still strangely very active. I've read somewhere that the radeon drivers don't work well and get the GPU going 100% all the time. But didn't go into details.
