Sound just cut out.

Hey. I own a Pavilion G6 (I think its the 1325ae) I've had it for around four months give or take. About two days ago I opened up my Calibre application (read books) and my Itunes just stopped playing. I thought at first that maybe it was because of calibre not letting you listen to music when you read (made sence at the time) but then I checked all applications that input sound (VLC, itunes, Windows media, Mozilla, Chrome) and nothing is working. I checked the devices and even though the sound is not coming through it does say it is working fine. When I put headphones in the sound works. I've tried many things like trying to install the sound device again and restoring my laptop but nothing has worked. Any help would be apprieciated.

Satellite L755D - sound keeps cutting out for no apparent reason

I posted this in another thread, but thought I might need to start one of my own since a solution had been found by that person and I am still having a problem. So, about three weeks ago the sound on my computer began just cutting out for no apparent reason. It happened while I was watching streaming video and I tried updating all my software stuff (like flash and java and things of that nature). It still continued to happen and now it was happening with streaming video, with youtube type videos, and with mp3s stored on this computer. I discovered that if I went to the control panel and clicked on sound/hardware and then clicked on the tab for recording, the sound immediately came back. So, I've been doing this for the past couple of weeks and it is extremely annoying! In another thread on ths forum, the individual discovered that the Malwarebytes program had been the culprit and I was happy to have an answer, except that I had installed security software last week which removed MB from my computer. And I continue to have the issue even today. I clicked on the link in the other thread to update my drivers and I continue to have the issue. Can anyone help? It's making me crazy! Thanks in advance.

OK - I'm getting this as well. Satellite L750-1E5. It was fine for ages and this started happening about a month ago now. - tried updating the drivers - System restored back to when it worked, not working This led me to think it was a hardware problem. My gut feeling however was that it was some sort of driver problem as sound would cutout after about 2 minutes, but would often come back if I started playing another song or something. Reinstalled Windows 7(64 bit) and played through an entire song with no issues(using Windows 7 sound drivers). Ran Windows update and the issue has come back. Installed the proper Conexant driver, but issue still occurring. I believe a Windows update has caused this issue.

Left, right, or both sound channels cutting out

Hello folks,
This is a second thread I am creating to ask some questions about this other problem I have:
I have a fourth-gen ipod photo. I bought it just before they rolled out the ipod color. I have used this device pretty heavily, I take it with me everywhere I go. I've tried to take good care of my iPod... no major drops, minimal jars, only unplugging it when there's no I/O access, and trying not to charge it until the battery is low.
For several months I have been having issues with sound channels on my headphones cutting out. At first, it was just annoying: left or right sound channel cutting out, fixed simply by nudging the headphone plug in the jack.
Lately, however, this is becoming a bigger problem. This problem does not affect the ipod playing back music in any way, aside from the fact that sometimes the ipod will think I've unplugged the headphone.
Now, sound will completely cut out. Sometimes I hear nothing. Sometimes fidelity will drop pretty heavily and everything sounds like I was listening to my music underwater. Sometimes, just the left or right sound channels cut out. Again, all of this fixes itself by wiggling the headphone jack in its plug.
I use a pair of $20 walmart special Sony Street Style (very nice sound quality, actually) in most cases, but also use it with a pair of American Audio DJ headphones. The Sony headphones have an L-shaped plug, but the AA headphones have a more traditional sticks-straight-out plug.
I am looking to fix this problem myself. I plan on opening up my iPod to install a new battery and maybe fix the other problem I am having (see my other thread), and I am not afraid of the insides of the device.
What I am asking is if anyone else has had this problem, or a something similar? My guess is that the headphone jack's solderpoints on the PCB have become loose, so if I go in there and resolder the jack then I hope everything is hunky-dory. I've seen repair sites that sell the entire headphone assembly for like $50. Would it be better just to replace the whole thing?
Please note that I have no intentions (nor the money) to have a "genius" fix my iPod. (Where's the fun in that, anyway?) Further, I can not afford (and will not buy) another iPod, so that's out too. I am simply looking to fix my iPod and keep limping along until I can afford a newer mp3 player.
Any help is appreciated
tom

Hello,
It looks to me that it can be caused by the bad contact of the metal parts of earphone jack or the loose of its solder with the mother board. Both of them should not be too difficult to deal with if you are good in small elect. device.

Mavericks - Why does my sound keep cutting out?

I installed the most recent security update two days ago, which I thought was just for Safari, but now my sound cuts out to about 10% for a second every two to three minutes. It happens in iTunes and Spotify. Anyone else having this issue?
I'm on a Mid 2012 15-inch MB

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

AirTunes sound constantly cuts out on Laptop

Both me and my roommate play our iTunes through the single house stereo via AirTunes, me on my iMac and her on her MacBook. I never have problems with my playback, but half the time she uses it the sound will cut out constantly. There will be a few seconds of sound, then a few seconds of silence, on and on.
It's very annoying.
Neither of us experiences any problems or cutting out with using the internet at all, even while this AirTunes problem is happening.
We've tried setting the iTunes streaming buffer size to large. I've lowered the security on the Express to WPA only, increased the multicast rate to 11 and enabled interference robustness. We've also tried closing all other apps on her machine and installing more RAM. none of which has helped the problem.
She's using a MacBook2,1 and OSX 10.4.11
Any help would be much appreciated as this is driving us both mad.

Thanks for the welcome!
And for the info. At first i thought this might be a good lead, since for the first time in the months since i bought the Express my iMac iTunes started having this problem as well (though this is probably just because i hardly use the AirTunes feature). But lowering the multicast rate doesn't seem to have any affect on the issue either. So i've effectively ruled out the multicast rate as any sort of cause/solution to the problem.
I've tried watching the network activity monitor when this is occurring, but see no correlation between the network activity and the periods of silence from the AirTunes.
The wiring doesn't seem to be a problem either, as i can hook up either computer to the jack going into the express and it plays just fine.
Maybe i just have a dud Express unit?

How can I keep my video sound from cutting out?

The last couple of weeks the sound on my videos has been cutting out after I play them on Itunes on my computer, usually after a few seconds to a minute or two. I do not have the same problem when I load them on my really old Ipod Touch however. How can I fix this problem? Everything else seems to play fine except the video audio on the computer when I use Itunes. I thought it was just the tv show audio that was affected, but I just tried a couple of movies and the soundtracks are having the same problems. The root menu screens were running fine, but when the actual movies started playing it started to cut out. Please help!

Try repair your QuickTime from control panel. Programs n features.
If that doesnot work, go to
Control panel
Sound (Hardware n Sound)
Under Playback tab, highlight each device and click Properties button
Go to Advanced tab and change Sample Rate to 16bit 48000hz (DVD Quality) or 96000hz (Studio Quality), OK n OK.

Logic's synth pad sounds are cutting out

I have noticed that the synth pad sounds (those that are built into Logic NOT 3rd party instruments) appear to be cutting out.
The patch will play for a short while then at some indeterminate point the sound will just die. If I load another patch in that will play, again for an indeterminate time then the sound dies again.
Logic is showing midi notes being input but no sound is being generated.
This is driving me nuts!!
Can anyone help
Mike

Ok I found a solution to this - it seems to be a Maverick / Logic 9.18 and Lexicon bug as it didn't happen in the previous OSX.
Simply remove all instances of any 32bit plugins you have running, I missed a few lexicons thinking they'd be ok. Turns out they were the culprates. Bounce in place on each track and then remove the original track.

When i publish the movie to youtube, the sound gets cut out half way through. help?

I'm trying to publish a short movie to youtube. It plays fine in the editing screen, but when I publish it, half way through, the sound cuts out on the video. There's still some background music that's playing, but the voices get cut out. I've tried republishing it in a different size and the sound cuts out at the exact same place. Any suggestions?

You can contact support and have them troubleshoot the songs for you.

How do I keep sound from cutting out on FaceTime?

I am a brand new Mac mini owner (2.5Ghz i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD, ATI graphics). I am also a brand new Mac person. Today is day 3 w/ my new mini and OSX Lion.
I have a Microsoft LifeCam Cinema HD 720p webcam (model H5D-00001) that I bought about a year ago for a PC, and the box states it is compatible w/ OSX. I have connected the camera and it works fine with PhotoBooth and Skype for video and audio with no hiccups. I started FaceTime to talk to my brother in another county in Pennsylvania (both on Comcast internet connections, mine wired via Ethernet to a Netgear WNR2000 router and his iPad 2 wirelessly connected to another Netgear WNR2000 router via Comcast).
The conversation starts fine. But after about 2 minutes, I start to lose my brother's audio on my end of the connection. The audio starts to get garbled, then it cuts out completely. We close and re-open the FaceTime session to fix it, but it keeps happening after the 2 minute mark.
I have closed all other connections other than FaceTime. It is also a BRAND NEW 4GB Core i5 Mac and his is a brand new iPad 2.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot or resolve this problem? Thanks.

Dear Apple,
I have been a loyal customer since 1991. I have enjoyed nearly every product. I love - LOVE Facetime.
But the audio dropout problem *****. PLEASE FIX IT.
Seriously, there should be an easy software fix to prevent the auto-volume control from dropping one party's sound so low that it is inaudible. You can do SIRI for crying out loud, surely you can FIX THIS.
Thank you!

Audio just cut out

As a musician I am always using my midi controller with some virtual instrument. Just now I heard a pop and the audio cut out. I've had this issue before and restarting fixes the problem fine, but is there a way to fix it without rebooting? What causes this?

Which interface are you using? Are you using all grounded outlets?
I have had situations where electrical noise on the line has been enough to cause the MIDI device to panic and forget where it is thus requiring a reset.

Sounds keeps cutting out - volume bar disappears

Hi
I have restarted and restored my ipod and still this problem is happening. Sometimes I press play and it looks like it is playing but there is no sound, now after restoring it the sound comes and goes, sometimes it starts playing a song and then just stops - nothing has happened to this ipod so I don't really know what to do or what the issue could be.

If it still happens after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod that points to a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Sound card cutting out and clicking after 1.6 firm update in windows

I don't know whats going on... but after I ran the firmware update 1.6 on my MBP, my sound card went crazy on the windows partition. The card will put out sound for awhile and then it will turn off and make very annoying clicking noises. I boot to the Mac side and everything is fine. It really ***** because I am a DJ and the number one part of this computer I use intensely is the sound card.... Help! I am going to call apple tomorrow but I think they will not help kindly in windows even with an apple care...

I had experienced this issue on my late 2007 MacBook Pro.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8136560&#8136560
Until this post, I had not heard of it on the new MacBook Pros.
I would guess that this issue has been caused by a driver conflict. As someone else had suggested, the Boot Camp drivers for the new MacBook Pros are in desperate need of an update.
Call Apple Support, and ask them to begin an investigation into this problem. Direct them to this thread. They will give you an investigation number that you can monitor.
Many of us have been asking Apple for updated drivers for Boot Camp. The more we call. The quicker Apple will resolve.
Other driver related issues for Boot Camp include the following link that I have noted.

Good luck, and let us know.

Playbook doesn't hold charge or just cuts out

Hi, I've had quite a few problems with my PB for a while now. 3 issues: It does'nt always let me turn it on, the charge doesn't seem to hold (or have any power) and it just shuts down without warning. Really frustrating. I have the latest software loaded, but it seems since doing this it's caused even more problems. I've wiped everything off it and that worked for a day or two, now I'm back to square one with poor performance.
I purchased a new charger and that doesn't seem to have done the trick.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Are you indeed able to charge the PlayBook to 100%?
Are you using the OEM Wall outlet charger in the USB port?

Wireless headphones MDR-RF970R sound keeps cutting out.

I always acquire Sony products and have had good luck by and large. However, I acquired Sony wireless earphones from Best By and although the calim was to a tranmission wpu;d reaach 150 feet, I could not receive a signal at 25 feet. I placed the trasnmitter where I had for the old RCA wireless earphones I had so they should have worked. I promptly took them back to Best Buy. This is why I always shop at Best Buy. No questions asked and no restocking charge.

Oh, bummer! Sorry to see you had difficulty with them. Keep in mind we're here to help out if you need us if you have any difficulty with our products in the future.

Sound cutting out on Mac Pro (late 2013)

Bit of a long one and I'm not sure if this is the right place so sorry in advance.
For the past 2/3 weeks the sound on my new Mac Pro has been cutting out completely. It doesn't matter if headphones, external speakers or nothing is plugged into the back the sound just cuts out. It only comes back if I reboot the mac or kill 'audiocored' (as suggested by some people over on the Apple Support Forums.
The sound would cut out when I'm using CC products and when I'm not. It would range from 3 hours of not cutting out to every 15 seconds. If it occurred when I watching a sequence or clip in Premiere it would make the playback slow to a crawl and if I was watching a video on YouTube and it would occur the video would then stop and no longer load. The cut outs are to my knowledge completely random and I'm not doing anything that I haven't done a million times before when it occurs.
I've been contacting Apple for a while now and gone through a number of different troubleshoots (booting in safe mode, resetting the PRAM, logging in as another user) and the issue occurs on everything. The only fix I did find was if I created a new partition on the hard drive and boot into that then the sound issues don't occur.
Which leads me to why I'm posting this... That partition didn't have any Adobe software. I then uninstalled all Adobe CC programs on the main partition and the sound issues then stopped completely. Only when it's all installed (even when they're not even open) do the sound problems occur, which leads me to believe the sound cuts are due to Adobe CC software.
All Adobe and Apple software is up to date. I've trashed the preferences on all my Adobe software as well as clearing the cache.
I realise this is a bit of a weird one and maybe in the wrong support forum but I'm getting to my wits end. I've got huge projects dropping very soon (with tight deadlines) that I need to work on and can't be rebooting the mac every 5 mins.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this I would be greatly appreciated.
I'm currently toying with the idea of doing a factory reset of the computer but I worry as I know that will take some time re-downloading / installing all my software and documents.

I have had a bit more luck it would seem.
Turns out it wasn't and Adobe software that was causing the problem rather some faulty RAM. I took all the RAM out and then put it back in again a few seconds later (doing exactly what Apple support told me to do) and voila the sound issues were gone. Although one of the cards decided not to work any more and I was left with 12gb rather than 16gb. Have since replaced all the default RAM with a more powerful third set from a party provider and haven't had any trouble since.
It's very strange that this problem is persisting for you even after the RAM being replaced. All I can suggest is that you keep calling Apple as their support services seem to be pretty good (for me at least).
Sorry if this is no help at all.

Sound just cut out.
