Stop and go audio playback

Whether I'm watching a DVD or playing MP3's off of my hard drive, I get this weird stop and go along with a 'honking' type sound. Sounds kind of like the buzzer when you get a question wrong on Jeopardy. I posted this almost a month ago but got no responses. Did a live chat with an HP tech guy and he had me reinstall all the drivers and update the BIOS. Didn't help and now it's getting progressively worse. Most annoying!

White and only audio playback

I am attempting to playback a video recorded on a 1080i60 HDV camera and all I am getting is a white screen with audio. How come I cannot view the video as well? Also, I get the same thing when I try to import it into FCE HD. What do I need to do?

I have the same problem. But, the only difference is that when i click on a video i have made on a digital camera in iphoto, quicktime opens and says that i am missing a component to the application.I can play the sound of my video but the screen stays white. Quicktime does not say which one i'm missing so, im unsure which one to download!
Please help!

Video and some Audio Playback issues

My downloaded video's on iTunes and Quicktime are not playing properly. They play without any sound what so ever and they stop after only a few seconds. They used to work perfectly before!!!
Also, on web pages like MySpace and YouTube, sound again does not work. I've checked my System Preferences for Sound and I am sure it has nothing to do with streaming.
PLEASE HELP!

i adjusted the settings in the Utilies folder for Audio Output!

ITunes Store music preview stops and freezes all playback

I hope someone can help, I'm at wits end with this.
There's a lot of people complaining that they can only preview a few seconds of a song in the iTunes Store.
Oh yeah? Big deal, just be glad that's your only problem with it, because when this happens to me it locks up my iTunes from playing anything else and I not only have to exit iTunes but then terminate the process from task manager.
Let me describe it in more detail because it's so weird... and YES, I DO have the latest version (10.7.0.21)
So I'm in the iTunes store, I'll click the song preview button, I may or may not hear a few seconds of the song but it ALWAYS just halts playback before getting very far. I can move the slider, hit pause or stop or try to preview another song but nothing happens. What's worse, afterwards I'll go to my iTunes music Library and try to play a song and it pops up but doesn't play, like as if it is on permanent pause. It just DOES NOT play anything, therefore making iTunes completely useless other than messing with playlists and song info.
So now my only choice is to exit iTunes, oh but the problem is far from over. Now iTunes dissapears from my taskbar, but the little icon by the clock is still there. Clicking on it does nothing. I cannot rerun iTunes until I terminate the process in task manager. Okay, I kill it and start fresh just to have it happen all over again. I just dread pressing that **** preview button, I can't live like this.
This certainly was never a problem in earlier versions of iTunes and there's been no other significant change on my PC in the last two months (which is the last time I remember things working as they should). What gives?

Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
... and then click OK.
Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

Random Audio Crackling and Popping on playback in FCP and Pro Tools

Hello All,
In both Pro Tools LE through an original MBox (with latest firmware), via USB and Final Cut Pro using an Edirol USB audio interface, I get random cracks and pops in different places that aren't in the actual audio files. They are not in the waveforms, and they never happen in the same spot twice...just random. There's no telling when they will be heard, but they are very loud and sharp, and I'm afraid of damaging my powered monitors, not to mention my nerves as I'm in the middle of an intense sound design for a film.
I've tried looking up this topic, and I've seen some topics mentioning sync/clock....like it's a problem with sync being generated internally, as opposed to using an external word clock generator. I never had this problem before on my older dual 2.0 PowerMac (PPC), and I really can't spring for a word clock generator right now...anyone else experience this with their Intel Mac Pro? I've looked for new firmware updates et al, but everything on the computer is up to date. This is really driving me nuts right now.
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) Dual 1.8
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Dual 3.0

Interesting point about the winter/static. The only thing is that I never had those problems before with the same setup on my older dual 1.8 PPC G5 PowerMac, through several winters.
My current setup is a dual 3.0Ghz Intel Mac Pro with 3Gb of RAM. the RAM is the right kind and it has checked out as a-okay via numerous tests. The video card is the stock NVidea 7300 GT. For Final Cut Pro and general audio playback, I use an Edirol UA-1EX usb interface http://www.roland.com/products/en/UA-1EX/index.html (w/ updated drivers and all) hooked up through one USB port. For Pro Tools LE 7.3.1, I use an original Mbox, also updated with the latest firmware and all (got rid of the distorted noise problem with firmware update v22), also hooked up to a USB port. I used this exact same setup on my previous Dual 1.8 PPC G5 PowerMac with no such issues for several years. Both interfaces are routed to a Mixer, and onto my monitors. I don't think it's the mixer that's doing it because it didn't ever crackle/pop with my older G5, and still doesn't, which I still use for other things, but routed through the same sound system. I can understand the use of an external clock generator and such, but for many years, I never had this problem with random crackle/pop on playback with other computers that did not use an external sync/clock device. I would think that a computer as new and 'advanced' as the Intel Mac Pro would offer even better results than previous models. Again, the noises aren't printed onto the actual sound files, they come up randomly, but most often after adding a fade/volume change/effect and playing back.
I have just installed a PCI-Express USB 2.0 card for use with both the Edirol and MBox, just in case it was an issue with the built-in MAC USB ports. I will see if that helps.

Ics broke bluetooth to auto for calls and audio playback

After upgrading to ICS (4.0.4) on my RAZR MAXX, I can no longer maintain a bluetooth session with my car and the audio playback is not working at all. The connection begins and drops after less than 1 minute. This cycle repeats. Calls and audio worked with the same car configuration in Android 2.3.4. After a long search on the net I learn that this is a common problem. Has anyone heard about a patch or work around? I tried disabling wifi - no joy.

I have the same problem with my DROID RAZR. I use a Plantronics Pro+ headset and regularly have hour long conference calls. I had no connection problems prior to ICS. When I upgraded to ICS, the Bluetooth connection started dropping. It will drop then reconnect, then drop, then reconnect, every couple minutes. I end up holding my phone to one ear with the Bluetooth on the other, the call rotates between them. VERY ANNOYING. UNACCEPTABLE. I tried a second Bluetooth headset (also Plantronics Pro+). it worked for about 2 days, then had the same problem.
From reading various postings, I believe this is a problem with ICS and the Bluetooth connection. Nothing to do with what type of headset, automobile, etc. It may be only those of us that had Android 2.3.4 and upgraded to ICS.

Skipping Audio Playback of Raw AVCHD Files in PE7

I get constantly skipping/dropping audio when playing back AVCHD clips in PE7. These are pretty long takes imported from a Canon HF10 camera. The video seems to playback OK with no jitter/judder or dropouts.I have tried reducing the clip to a 3 minute length but audio still skips/drops every 3-5 seconds for a second or so. I rendered/exported a short test clip to a .wmv file and a 780p file and the audio playback is just fine on the rendered clip. I'm using a Vista 32 Dell 730 desktop with 4 gigs ram and 2.6 quadcore processor and all editing on internal Sata drives. I had the Pinnacle studio 12 editing package first but moved to PE7 due to freezes and crashes. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks!

For HD editing in PrPro, Adobe also recommends a RAID 0 (or similar) media disc. Both HD Audio & Video need a fast file transfer rate. Many get by without the RAID, but it has helped many others. Just a thought.
Also, if you have fewer than 3 internal HDD's, and some of the ones that you have are doing multiple duty, like OS/Programs, and then Project/Media/Scratch Disks, the stream can definitely be too slow to get both smooth Audio and Video.
How is your I/O sub-system set up? Number of HDD's, sizes, speed and controller type?

Audio playback is very quiet after Windows 8.1 upgrade on Pavilion g7

I recently updated to Windows 8.1 trial version and the audio playback is very quiet through the laptop speakers. Through headphones or played through the TV it works great.
I have a Pavilion g7.
When I check the drivers they tell me that I have the most recent divers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, @Nautic-Al
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you're having an audio issue with the notebook. I would like to try to help you with this.
As you're using a Trial version of Windows please read this document: HP PCs - About Beta or Preview Software.
To go along with that I will provide you this document for troubleshooting: No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8).
If that does not help you, then you'll have to revert back to the installed OS or completely upgrade to a non trial version.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Video playback stops and starts

I've never had this problem before but since I wiped my 5th Gen (late 2006) iPod Video and put new content on it the video playback keeps freezing for a second and then continuing. Most of the time the audio keeps going but sometimes they both stop and start again. It's very annoying. I don't see anyone else in this forum complaining about this. Am I the only one?
Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Audio playback stops short

Has anyone had problems with audio playback in a previewed or published presentation where the playback stop short and advanced to the next slide?

Brian,
The fact that this mp3 is about the same size as a standard 16 bit/44.1k stereo file of a 3 or 4 minute song, indicates to me that it's an extremely long file.
I'm willing to bet you have run into the measure limit within a Logic song. It's 2000 something (can't remember it exactly).
The standard work around is to drop Logic's tempo to something really slow, thus allowing the larger file to be able to play within the Logic song limit.
See if that's it...

While playing videos on itunes, audio and video will stop and start. It just started doing this recently and it does it with all my itunes videos..help!!

While playing videos on itunes, the audio and video will stop and start several times during playback. This just started recently and it does it on all my videos. Help!!

Try to download the application VLC.
It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

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.

Windows 7 64 bit, SP1
RAM: 24 GB
CPU: Intel Xeon X5680 @ 3.33Ghz (12 threads)

Audio playback stops while the video is still running!!!

Hi friends...
I use my final cut for online streaming... and usually make a timeline for 11-12 hrs and run it in loop... everything worked fine all these years... but offlate we have been having problems with the audio playback... THE PROBLEM IS... while the timeline is still running and we can see the video on the screen the audio stops... but it stops after a few hours not at the time we start the timeline... as of now all we do is tap the spacebar twice to stop and start play again and it works again... but i would want a more permanent solution if anyone could help me out...
thanks

Hi,
Yes, using all the default out of the box Coherence POF support, you would need to restart the cluster to pick up any changes.
Do you really need the Java classes on the server side? Depending on what server side functionality you are using you might not actually need Java representations of the .Net classes. For example, if these are you entities that are being cached and you are never calling code that deserialises them, then there is no need for Java classes.
You could potentially write your own implementation of a POF Serializer (PofContext) that is used on the server side that can dynamically add and change classes.

Audio playback suddenly stopped working?

Audio playback stopped working in my project. The audio is there, but the checkbox in the audio pane will not function. I can click on it all day, but no check appears, and no audio plays.
I have tried typical troubleshooting. Trash prefs, try different audio files and such. If I make a new project, audio plays in it just fine, but after a few minutes work in that project, the audio goes out again, never to return.
Any ideas??
