Sound cuts in and out

I am running Mainstage 3.0.3 on my MacBook Pro - 13" (early 2011), OS X 10.9.1, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM and running on a Samsung 500GB SSD drive. I am plugging in a bass through an M-Audio USB Fast Track.
Using this right now simply to play along with tracks on iTunes (for practice). Used to use Garageband for this, but then I got Mainstage. Mainstage 3 was running fine when I first bought and downloaded it. Not sure what the problem is now, but when I open it and create a new concert (bass-rig) then turn the master volume up, the slider movement is choppy and the sound/signal cuts in and out (more out than in). The only time I can get sound to consistantly come out is if I click on a menu option, like File or Edit or Action, etc... if I click off the menu, the sound cuts back out and I get nothing.
Sound works perfectly fine through Garageband with the same setup.

That's the model of your processor in your HP P6350z. Do you have a discrete (separate) audio card in your PC? When you purchased your PC did you add a separate audio card? If not, then go to www.realtek.com and download and install the latest audio drive for the Realtek ALC888S.

Xfinity X1 - TV Sound Cuts In And Out When Connected to Surround Sound Receiver

I'm a fairly new Comcast Xfinint X1 TV and Internet subscriber. I am experiencing issues with TV sound cutting in and out. The sound cuts out for 2-3 seconds, all the time. The Onkyo surround sound receiver has been used without issue on a different cable TV platform so I know there is nothing wrong with the receiver. System set-up. Voice/data modem - Arris Interactive, LLC - tg862gCable Box - Make/Model - PA px001ancSurround Sound Receiver - Onkyo TX-NR609 HDMI cable run from cable box to Onkyo receiver. HDMI cable run from Onkyo receiver to TV. I have reset all equipment multiple times with no resolution. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is very difficult when trying to watch TV.

I highly doubt your modem has anything to do with this because it doesn't have MoCA.However it sounds like you an original green power light Pace DVRs and they are well known to have audio dropout issues. I would replace that DVR with a different version.
Is this problem happening on a specific channel? CBS seems to be having issues lately. I am watching the CMA awards right now and I have heard the volume change a couple times but this is the only channel it is happening on which would suggest it is not Comcast's fault.

Sound cutting in and out on Macbook Pro 15 (original) when waking display

When I wake the display from sleep, any audio that was playing when the system went to sleep - or rather, the display went to sleep (ie: pandora, QT movie, etc), immediately starts to cut in and out and gets glitchy. This happens as soon as I move my mouse and get the dialogue box to enter my un/pw to wake from sleep. The only way to resolve it is to quit the application putting out the audio, and then open it up again. Once I do that, the problem goes away.
Currently running 10.6.2, but have had this problem since upgrading to Snow Leopard. I've searched the forums and can't seem to find any answers. There are a lot of vague sound issues with MBP and this is a hard one to "sum up" in the subject line. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've searched the forums and can't seem to find any answers.
Not even quitting out the audio application prior to letting your computer sleep?
Not sure what you have already tried from searching the forums. If you have Applecare, give them a call or take your computer to an Apple store. Let the Geniuses there check it out.

MacBook sound cuts in and out & getting a beach ball a lot.

When I try to play a video the sound either cuts in and out or just stays off. You can barely hear a small popping noise through the speakers. The chisel also lags very band making it impossible to watch, it does not matter if the video is online or on the computer itself. I also get the beach all allot even sometimes just using Word. Is there any way to fix this without wiping the hard drive?
Here is a video if this will help

Hi I have experienced this problem also, especially when listening to mp3's. At first I thought the quality of mp3 was the cause (as in different encoding quality) but it seemed to happen when playing DVD as well. I don't think a reboot will solve the problem for good, as it happens quite randomly. I have a sneaking suspicion that the internal speakers may be at fault. doesn't hurt to get apple to check it out while under warranty.

Audio streaming sound cuts in and out

While trying to listen to streaming audio, the sound cuts about every second and a half. I've played with different streaming speeds and none have corrected the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Does this happen with just one stream (or from a single provider), or does the same think happen with more than one (particularly from more than one server source)?

Audio cuts in and out on iPhone 4S

I have an iPhone 4S (16 GB) that is on version 6.0.1. My problem has to do with sound cutting in and out when listening to music, using apps or watching videos (audio never cuts out on actual phone calls). The issue happens both when I'm streaming online and using local programs (like apps or iTunes). The music plays anywhere from 15 to 45 seconds, then the audio cuts. The volume bar disappears and the iPhone pauses the muted music 3 to 5 seconds after. If you hit Play again, it works for about 3 to 5 seconds before cutting again and automatically pausing.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue or have heard of it reported? I noticed this issue on my device four days ago.

Hey Fitz,
I was just in to the Apple Store to have the same issue looked at for my iPhone 4. Audio cutting in and out across programs, headphones or not, with the volume bar dissapearing when the problem occurred. Turns out its damage to the audio processor (evidently located near the speakers). Can be from water damage, wear and tear or as simple as dust. I had to replace mine outright, but the employee was saying sometimes they just need a cleaning. Worthwhile having it looked at.
Sorry there isn't an easier fix!

Surround sound receiver is causing Apple TV to cut in and out.

My Apple TV is cutting in and out and I think my Marantz surround sound receiver is causing it because when I hook Apple TV directly to the TV it works fine. I looked at my receivers owner's manual but did not find anything helpful. Any idea how to resolve it?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check that the wifi channel is set to the same channel as on your previous router, also check the multicast rate is identical.
If the problem persists, you might also want to see if netgear have a forum or a help number and ask there.

Why does my sound keep cutting in and out?

Yeah Kase12 I was just wondering if you ever figured out what was making this happen...I have tried replacing all the cables and it still does it...Every couple minutes the sound will cut out for a few seconds then come back on and it might be 30 miniutes before it does it again or it might do every 4 minutes theres no pattern to it
.If you figured it out could you please shoot me an email at [email protected] thanks

Why does my sound keep cutting in and out on my tv when connected to Mac?

I hooked up my Mac to my tv using a mini display port and changed to sound output so that I could get sound from my tv. The sound is coming from my tv, but it is cutting in and out. Is there a way to fix this? Is it the cables I'm using?

Audio Is Randomly Cutting In And Out In Playback

I have encountered this problem on all recent Premiere projects I've worked on with a variety of audio types. My audio is cutting in and out in a seemlingly random way while the video keeps running fine. Sometimes the audio will play fine for 15 seconds then stop, sometimes it stops and starts after about 2 seconds. I have tried adjusting all of my preferences, settings, audio types, and even video types but the problem always comes back. Spoke to a friend who's new to Premiere and he's having the same problem. Considering moving back to FCP despite the weak interface.
Currently I am editing Canon 5d Mkii footage at 1080p, 29.97 fps. I am using none of the audio attached to the video clips - only editing to a separate m4a music track. My audio is at 44100 Hz. I am playing back video at 1/4 quality. I am running a fully updated Mac Powerbook with a 2.6GHz Intel Core i5 and 8gb of RAM.
Please help, almostly completely unable to edit. Thanks.

I am still having the same issue in Premiere CC 8.0.1 (21)
Exact same issue as the original poster on this thread, as well as the original poster on this other thread:
Premiere Pro CC Audio Cuts Out
So this audio issue persists from version 7 now in version 8.0.1!
For me, audio is cutting in and out randomly and never in the same place. If I have multiple audio tracks on the timeline, then one or more tracks might drop-out at the same time. Sometimes all tracks drop out at the same time. It seems completely random.
I am editing with a combination of P2 footage and DNxHD 290 footage. (I originally had some AVCHD footage, but then I transcoded all of it to DNxHD 290 -- but this did not improve the audio issue at all.)
Two of my audio tracks contain the native camera audio (stereo); 1 track has the music bed (stereo .wav files) and 1 track has sound effects (stereo .wav files)
In one of my projects, I had a very strong reverb effect applied to the track (not to the clip). When the audio dropped out, I could still hear the tail of the reverb. This leads me to conclude that it's not the entire audio track that is muting -- it's definitely the source audio clip that's dropping out. The reverb tail continued after the audio dropped out.
Playing the same part of the timeline again produces randomly different results -- audio might drop out on a different track, or at a different time, or not drop out at all.
This bug is making it nearly impossible to edit! I have filed a bug report at http://www.adobe.com/go/wish_fr
During timeline playback, my CPU utilization never goes above 15% and at least 12 GB of RAM is staying free, so I am pretty confident these drop-outs are NOT caused by lack of computer resources. Also, my hard drives seem to be fast enough to play back 4 streams of HD simultaneously, but I am getting these audio drop-outs when playing back 1 stream of HD plus 4 channels of audio. Therefore, I don't believe this can be a hard drive bandwidth issue.

Bluetooth speakers cutting in and out while typing

Anyone have any issues with there bluetooth connection to speakers for yoga 11s on windows 8.1?
The sound from the bluetooth speaker cuts in and out when my palms are resting on the keyboard while typing.. The connection seems fine in tablet mode or if I'm not touching it.

It also Does NOT cut out like this on skype.

Speakers cut in and out

I have a 03 pontiac sunfire. Ever since I bought this vehicle a year ago all of the speakers will cut in and out. The rear speakers will only work every now and then. None of the speakers sound like they are blown. Also the head unit will turn off if the parking brake is applied. Any ideas?

sounds like bad speakers, factory amplifier, or bad installation. get your car into your local geek squad to have it fixed and working the way it should be working. $20 per 1/4 hour or $80 per hour is the normal troubleshooting for a vehicle. thanks for posting and good luck!

Hp Pavilion dv7 Sound goes in and out and makes clicking noise

Recently my laptop has been having wierd audio issues and I'm not sure the cause. The laptop will get about 10-15 minutes into a movie or any sound extensive activity and the sound starts cutting in and out and making a weird clicking noise every time it does. One think I found helped sometimes was to plug in headphones into the headphone jack, however the laptop would randomly switch between the headphones and the external speakers on the laptop even if left alone. Sometimes it will just play out of the external speakers perfectly fine if I had headphones plugged into the jack. I was thinking that it may be the sound card, but I honestly don't know. Could someone share some insight on my problem?

Hi ,
Welcome to the HP Forums! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. Thank you for posting. I have read your post, and I understand that you are experiencing issues with speakers and headphones. The sound switches between the devices. And if you do not use headphone, the speakers will not work in 10 -15 minutes, and it will not play the sound right. Please test your laptop along the steps on this document HP Notebook PCs - No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8) And let me know if it helps. Regards,

Digital Audio Cuts In and Out

I have an earily 2009 Mac Pro hooked up to my Onkyo TX-NR3007 via digital audio (optical TOSlink). When I play a movie or music it cuts in and out. Maybe 30 sec of sound than nothing for a few seconds then sond again. I have tried 2 different cables. It is not the media because it does not happen in the same spot twice. I have also tried a differnet opt in on the receiver with the same results. I'm running up to date OS 10.7.5,
Please help I've tried everything I can think of...

Even after switching DD to "On" switching cables and ensuring that I was playing back audio content with DD encoded audio, I still receive no DD audio and continue to get audio drop outs.
