Strange audio problem playback

I have what's probably an easy problem but can't find an
answer anywhere here. When using "Play" or using the return key to
preview my project in Flash 8 on OS X, I can't stop the audio. The
audio is an MP3 voice over.
Pressing "Stop" or using the return key again stops the
playhead, but the audio continues no matter what I do. I can go
back to the beginning and play it again, and now I'll have two VOs
going on at once. The only way I can get the audio to stop is by
closing out the project.
This is making timing my animation to match what the VO is
saying very difficult. Any ideas?

I am having the same problem, but only after reinstalling XP
and all my software on a new hard drive. My previous hard drive
hadn't had a fresh install of XP in three years and was giving me
intermittent problems. However my swf's work properly on the old
drive but not the new one. I'm guessing it's one of my updates of
Firefox, flash player (was using 9,0,28,0 but now am 9,0,45,0). My
scenario is complicated because I'm using Flash Media Server, but
again it works on one drive and not the other. The odd thing for me
is that if I create my swf on the new drive with 9,0,45,0 and then
play it back when I boot from the old drive, it still has the same
double audio problem that plays similar to you. My play/pause
button has no effect and the audio just keeps going. If I do pause
the audio and wait for my audio to finish and then hit play again,
my scrubber bar moves but nothing plays until it gets to the end
and starts over. I was also getting double audio at times as well.
Could this be the new player??? Have you figured anything out since
you posted last? I'm using XP, flash 8, Firefox 2.0.0.4.

Strange audio problems

For about a week now I've been have a very, very peculiar problem. Putting it as simple as I can, while watching videos online (in a browser of any sort) the audio turns off then immediately turns back on, the audio symbol in the top right of the screen turns gray then black then grey then black a couple of times. As far as I know this only occurs when I watch videos online, it doesn't make a difference if I have speakers plugged in or headphone plugged in or if I'm using the internal speakers.
I wouldn't mind if someone could figure this out fast as it really is starting to get on my nerves. Thanks!

Hello,
As a musician myself, I definitely understand you're frustrations with audio problems. Would you mind giving us a few more details about your problem?
1. How often does this issue occur, and when did you first start noticing it?
2. Have you verified if this issue occurs in a test user
If the issue is present in both users, there are a few simple troubleshooting steps you can try. First, run SW updates. Try resetting the [PRAM|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379] and [SMC|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US]
I also recommend cleaning out your headphone jack with some compressed air, which you can buy at most electronic stores.
I hope those tips get you on the right track. You may also look at brining your computer to an [Apple Retail Store|http://www.apple.com/ca/retail/>

Strange audio problem with my MacBook Pro

Hello everyone,
first of all I should say that this is not the well known "no-audio-from-internal-speakers-and-red-light-burning-on-microphone-jack" audio issue on many MacBook Pros. However, I still hope some of you experts can help me.
Here's what happens. At some point of the last few days, I realized I was not getting any sound from my Mac's internal speakers except the typical boot sound on startup. Then I opened the System Preferences/Sound window and saw that I have only one output option: "Headphones - Headphone port". No internal speakers at all. This doesn't mean I can use my headphones at all... When I connect them to the computer with my System Preferences still open, then the option "Headphones" change automatically to "Digital out" and no sound comes out of them. If I take them out, then I can see the red light for about half a second, then it's off. Ironically, I still can hear some sound (even perfect audio) out of my headphones when I don't put them completely into the jack but at some very unstable point at about 90% of the connector's size.
I can use the function keys F10-F12 to mute or turn up and down the sound... Everything seems to work - still no sound comes out. I thought of course of a hardware problem but I can hear the mac startup din-dong effect like always and I even let the AHT run with no negative results. I also tried repairing the hard disk permissions, as I read somewhere, with the Disk Utility. Still no results.
Anyone to give me a clue what's happening on my Mac? I bought it about 2 months ago, and the software is up-to-date (Mac OS X 10.6.6).
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,
Luis

Hi friends
I too have a macbook pro running 10.6.6 and an odd audio problem which has recently shown itself and although different to Luiscv's problem, may well be related.
My audio works fine through the built in speakers but gets all fruity with some but not all audio as soon as I plug in the headphones. I get crystal clear audio when playing mp3's through quicktime whether I have the headphones plugged in or not.
youtube flash movies through Safari and VLC .mkv files are problematic. I do get audio but the stereo sound somehow gets split so the dialogue gets very quiet and fuzzy and the musical soundtrack gets louder.
If this is a codec/decompression issue why does the sound come good when I unplug the headphones? Why are some files totally fine with both headphones and internal speakers?
I have updated perian, zapped p-ram, repaired permissions all to no avail.
Thanks in advance to anyone able to solve this one.
Best wishes,
Wayne Batistic

Strange audio problem in Premiere Pro CS6

Hi
I have encountered a very strange problem. I am editing a documentary film in Premiere Pro. All material has been shot on the Sony FS 100 camera - imported into PP with the Media Browser. In one interview the last part of a clip has corrupted audio. At one point on the timeline the audio stops playing, and it sounds like a scratch on a vinyl record - two words repeating themselves to the end of the clip (See screenshot of timeline). The images are as they should. When I open the Avchd source clip in VLC the audio is working. When i Import the clip into Final Cut 7 using Log and Transfer the audio is working. My only other option would be that there is a software problem with Premiere Pro CS6. Any ideas of how to fix this issue?
Version PP: 6.0.1
Source footage: MPEG-4 AVCHD (1080/25p - Sony FS100)
Version mac: OS x 10.8
Model Name:     Mac Pro Mid 2010
Processor Name:     Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:     2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:     2
Total Number Of Cores:     8
Memory: 20 GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 570 GTX
Third-party I/O: Matrox MXO2 with Max
Mercury Playback Engine: Software mode

One similar, potential problem, that can develop, is when the Conforming process is interrupted, before it completes 100%.
A quick way to rule that out, would be to navigate to the Media Cache files, and Delete the CFA and PEK (Waveform Display) for that Clip, outside of Premiere Pro. Then, when you launch PrPro and Open your Project, the program will recreate both of those files. There is a little progress bar, that many do not notice. Let it complete 100%, before even touching the computer. Test.
I hope that it is as simple as that.
Good luck,
Hunt

Strange audio problem

I've created hundreds of DVD's with my current set-up (iDVD 4.0 on a G5 with OS 10.3.9). Suddenly I encountered a very strange problem. The audio sounds fine in iMovie or when I play the .mov file. The volume seems fine--just like any project that I have done before. When I burn it to DVD, however, I can barely hear it with the volume on the TV all the way up. I have the Canopus ADVC-300, which allows me to export an iMovie project directly to a TV. When I do this, the audio is barely audible on the TV. Other DVD's and other iMovie projects play back with the correct volume. What in the world could be causing this? I'm totally at a loss on this one.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that's not it. I have been using the same version of Quicktime all along. I have had so many problems after upgrading software that I basically stopped installing upgrades. Also, I produced other DVD's after experiencing the problem with this particular project. It is so strange that the audio sounds fine on the computer but not when played to a TV (either through a DVD or the A-to-D converter).

Strange audio problem please help!

Hi, I was recording audio with Logic and a usb audio interface (m-audio). Then, I unplugged the usb cable and I selected to use core audio. I closed Logic. I noticed that the volume controls (up and down) are no longer available and inside sys pref. there's optical out selected (the only available). There's also a red light coming from the port (I'm assuming is the optical out). If I plug in the hearphones everything works fine. What can I do in order to have audio played from speakers again?
Please help!

Update: I followed some instructions I found on a blog and I managed to solve the problem. I inserted a paperclip inside the jack output port and I pushed it for a while. Suddenly, inside sys pref. the output changed from "optical out" to integrated output. It's very strange, anyway I think it's a good idea to go to my Apple Store to check if the soundcard has some problems... The MacBook is still under warranty so...
Any comment would be appreciated, bye!

Strange audio problem with my macbook

Reccently I was remastering a song of mine that I transfered from an old ADAT tape and was trying to edit some of my audio files. The problem here Im having is within the audio edit window on my macbook using Logic Pro 7.2.2. The sample rate Im using is 48k and using a presonus firebox. I also tried using the built in audio as well and same result. When I play using the transport control, it sounds fine but when I played through the audio edit window, the sound is panned to the left side and very distorted. Almost sounds like its being played through a distortion box. I do not have this problem on my G4 or G5, just with the macbook. Has anyone else experience similar problems like this?

Audio tracks in Audio window or Loop Browser are always played back through the AudioTrack in Environment with the highest number.
Create a new Stereo AudioTrack or Bypass all plugins and switch your track to stereo.
(That's not the first time, I gave this hint. Maybe apple should build an Alert window before the user tries to playback from loopbrowser etc)

Strange audio problem w/ headphone jack.

Since updating to 5.1.1, I have an issue that while I use the headphone jack to connect to the audio input of my car, there is no sound at all from the car speakers. Tried everything and nothing.
Here is the kicker, I plug in the power and the left side.
Oddly enough, my Nano (with LCD screen) behaves the same.
The use of the Apple headphones is not a problem.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Leo

That did not help. As stated, had this issue with the iPod nano and not with the phone till updated to 5.1.1
Thanks anyway.
I plug in a stereo headphone that is not the longer apple one and no sound comes out unless I plug in the charger an then it's only on one side.

Strange audio problem in the timeline

I'm editing footage of a show taken from my local theater.. and for some reason when i play footage in the timeline, instead of just hearing the audio for that clip, i can also hear audio that does NOT belong to that clip! I don't understand how or why, as there is nothing else in the timeline which could do this.
Anyone know whats going on?
Thanks

The other sounds are audio from a completely different part of the show.. idk.. the shoot went fine, and when i play the clips when they are in the project list they sound fine.
I readded the clip to the timeline.. and its fine now..
Phantom of Final Cut Pro!

USB audio problems with 2013 iMac

I'm having a strange audio problem with USB microphones and headsets. The issue with my Logitech H650e is shown in this screencast I recorded. In the first part of the screencast, I am not speaking into the mic—yet you can see the levels fluctuating as if there is static playing (not in a natural pattern that you'd see when someone is speaking). In the next part of the video I demonstrate that selecting the built-in iMac mic for input, and then re-selecting the Logitech headset temporarily solves the problem. You can see the input start to fluctuate normally as it should when I am speaking. But at 0:31 in the screencast, you can see the input levels freeze and stop registering anything. I continued to speak until the end of the screencast, but no input was detected. For this screencast, I was on a Go To Webinar call, but the problem occurs regardless of whether I'm using Skype, Go To Webinar, GarageBand or any other software.
The problem with my Blue Yeti USB microphone is also different. In that case, the input does not freeze as it does with the Logitech headset. The levels appear as you would expect, and it seems to work. However, the person on the other end can hear static in the background, even though I don't hear it in my own headphones. I learned this because I just tried to do a Skype interview with the Blue Yeti, and the interviewer told me they could hear static. We closed Skype and called each other back twice, but the problem persisted. Then, suspecting the problem was related to what I described above with the Logitech, I unplugged the Yeti and then plugged it into my Macbook Air 2013 (also running Mavericks). Lo and behold the static completely disappeared.
My Griffin iMic and Audio Technica lavalier mic (attached to the iMic) behaves similarly to the Yeti, except in this case I can hear the static when I speak with my monitoring headphones. The input works but I get a lot of cracking and static in the background. This was confirmed by calling the Skype Test Call number and recording a message, which is then played back.
Here are the facts:
All 3 of my USB audio microphones/headsets do not work with my 2013 iMac running Mavericks
All 3 of these microphones/headsets worked fine with my 2008 Mac Pro running Mountain Lion
All 3 of these microphones/headsets work fine with my 2013 Macbook Air running Mavericks
In this other thread, several people are reporting similar issues with the iMac 2013 and Mavericks. At least two people did not have the issue when the iMac 2013 was running Mountain Lion. This of course suggests the issue is the combination of the iMac 2013 and Mavericks.

I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

Error message after upgrade to iTunes 11: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." At this point my PC running XP loses all audio.

Several attempts to upgrade to iTunes 11 have failed. After an upgrade to 11 the error message reads: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." At this point--after the upgrade to iTunes 11--my PC running Windows XP loses audio playback for all functions--in iTunes, in the browser and the volume icon disappears from the System Tray. Only by removing iTunes 11, and then using System Restore to turn back the OS settings can I return the PC to normal functioning.
I did that. I reinstalled iTunes 10.5. Everything seemed fine, but when I try to plug in and copy a CD to my iPhone 4S an error message reads roughly: 'iPhone 4S requires iTunes 10.5 or higher to work.'
What might be the problem with my audio configuration?
Why doesn't my iPhone 4S work with iTunes 10.5? It used to work with iTunes 10.5.
Please advise.

Problem with audio configuration that affects audio/video playback

Recently, when I watch video on i tunes that sound and picture to not match up. Sound seems to be on-time but the picture is jerky and behind. I un-installed my video driver and reinstalled. Problem persisted. I started my computer in safe mode and it said there was a problem with the audio configuration that effected audio/video playback. I uninstalled i-tunes and re-installed and the problem still persisted. I'm at my wits end and it is driving me crazy. Windows Vista is automatically updated so that's not the problem. Please help.

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: iTunes for Windows: iTunes has detected an audio configuration problem

When I go to open Itunes I get a message that says "Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly.

When I go to open Itunes, I get a message saying "Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not work properly. I've tried closing and re-opening Itunes but it still comes up. I've also tried removing quicktime, repairing Itunes and restarting my computer after that. It still says the same thing. I've also tried reinstalling Itunes as well.
