Strange intermittent audio distortion when sending bluetooth audio

I have a 2010 Macbook Air and I am using it to send audio via Bluetooth to my stereo via a Belkin Music Receiver (http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=508754).
Up until a few days ago, everything was working perfectly.
All of a sudden, I am having an intermittent problem where one minute the audio will sound fine, and then the next minute it will sound distorted and staticy. The only way to correct the problem is to disable the bluetooth audio and then re-enable it.
I actually happen to have two of the Belkin units, and I'm having the same problem with both of them, suggesting it is NOT an issue with the Belkin unit.
I am wondering if perhaps a recent Apple software update might be causing a problem...or something else....
Has anyone had a problem like this?

How does it sound when you just playback the Timeline? If that works OK, have you tried recording on the DSR-20 during Timeline playback? Or are you only using the Print to Video command?
If Timeline playback also has the problem, try exporting a self-contained movie from FCP, then import that file into a new project - then try recording on the DSR-20 again.

  • After Install IOS 8 and 8.0.2, the Ipad audio was distorted, and the bluetooth connection to audio speaker have wheezing.

    After Install IOS 8 and 8.0.2, the Ipad audio was distorted, and the bluetooth connection to audio speaker have wheezing.

    I ALSO just updated my brand new iphone 6 to 8.0.2, and I ALSO had my cellular service BRICKED.
    All I get on the signal meter is Verizon 1x.  Every so often 3G would popup and you could send a text (no calls though) but it's gone in seconds. So  I can't send texts or make phone calls.
    This phone worked immediately before the update and stopped working immediately after the update.
    My neighbor has a iphone 5S. He updated to 8.0.2 lat week and had no problems UNTIL just this morning, when his phone stopped working - no cellular voice or data. He downgraded back to ios 8.0 but his cellular service never came back.
    Called verizon - was told there were no service outages and then I got transferred to tech team.
    Tech team had do all the Apple troubleshooting steps but nothing more. So they said "take it back."
    So this BRAND NEW iPhone 6 phone is BRICKED because of iOS 8.0.2.
    Thanks Apple!

    Had this happen to me after a recent update, was super annoying.  To turn off, go to Settings > AirPlay > Conference Room Display > Off.

    when sending video from my iphone to apple tv it says on screen it is doing it but it wont play on tv but audio works great

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
    I have created a User Tip to list Apps that have been tested with Video Airplay, if you have any Apps that you have tested please email me details and I'll add them to the User Tip.

  • No visual or audio confirmation when SENDing mail

    This probably sounds like a nit, since Mail seems to be working fine for me. When I compose an email and hit the SEND button, the screen just, well, -- disappears! Poof! No bing or bong or "mail sent." The entire screen just vanishes. The first few times thgis startled me. I thought the program crashed or something. But I checked the SENT box and, yes, the email seems to have been sent. But, gosh, is there a setting to alter this -- to give me some feedback when Sending? In Mail prefs, I see a setting for INCOMING mail sounds (glass, ping, pop, etc.) Below that is a checkbox that says "play sound for other mail actions." So I have that checked, too. Still, no alert/sounds.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone else ANNOYED by this? Is there a setting I have missed?
    I have also reviewed the SOUND prefs in my System Preferences. I have "glass" chosen under Sound Effects. There is only one choice under "Play alerts and sound effects through...." It shows "internal speakers," which is dimmed out.(I am not using any special external speakers) I have "alert volume" set halfway. And both items below that are checked. Similarly, I have Output volume set halfway and mute is NOT checked. -- david in KC

    The sound confirmation is very faint and easy to miss. Plus I still don't see where you can change the sound. But it's okay for now. Can live with it.

  • Intermittent Audio Problems

    I recently started having intermittent audio cut off on my IMac G5 which is 6 months old. All audio to inclue iTunes stops for no apparent reason. This even happens when I am just listening to iTunes and performing no other tasks. Sometimes requires multiple reboots to fix. I checked audio output setting and it's 44100.0 Hz as recommended. Sometimes audio will restart without a reboot. Machine has 1.5G RAM and I do not use it for anything exotic or heavy duty.
    Am using a USB hub with printer, scanner and external hard drive attached. Tried disconnecting all, but problem still recurs.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Al R.

    If you plug in headphones into the headphones port do the audio problems persist? I'd like to know if the issue seems to be isolated to the speakers, or to the soundchip and/or sound software.
    P.S. Please note, that the iMac (Flat Panel) is actually an iMac G4. The iMac G5 posts you make in the future, please post in this forum:

  • Intermittent Audio Compression

    Shot with a Canon camera and converted the clips to Pro-res.  The clips play fine on their own but when put into a project timeline there are intermittent audio issues throughout the clips - the closest I can describe it is heavy compression, eg. a CD is ripped at 192kbps and then suddenly the audio drops down to 24kbps. It continues on and off for the whole 72min. and then the last 10 minutes are perfectly fine.  Any help would be really appreciated!!

    Derdav - different cameras use different codecs so to begin with, please name the exact Canon camera, is it a DSLR or a camcorder or a Cinema camera such as a C300, etc.  What codec?
    Also, upon importing did you select to seperate mono, or combine stereo, etc.?  When you have the clip in your storyline, if you select it and look in the inspector (command 4 to show inspector if it isn't showing) under the audio tab, what is it showing?
    To take a shot at ideas, which is not the most efficient way to start, I'm wondering if you recorded a line feed from a source, like a mixer into one or both channels, or if you're talking about a camcorder and just on-board camera mic?  Phasing issues can cause an effect like you're describing, or really I have no idea - need some help with more specific info.
    Thanks for anything else you can provide about your setup.

  • Strange characters when sending messages in Mail 2.1.2

    When sending messages from Mail 2.1.2 , some of the recipients get strange characters when opening my messages
    I use a french keyboard with ponctuations that appears to the recipients as black diamond with ponctuation marks in the middle.
    Is it something from my end?

    Here is some info on the problem. Sending plain text instead of rich text is the easiest thing to try.

  • E75 - Strange character when sending e-mail

    Hi,
    I have a Nokia e75 that sends strange characters when sending swedish e-mail.
    This was sent:
    Jag skickade ingen inbjudan till dej, men kollar så att den är kvar.
    This was recived:
    Jag skickade ingen inbjudan till dej,men jag kollar så att den är kvar.
    Whats wrong?
    - For your info this e-mail account is a company e-mail with exchange.
    Thx
    Christoffer

    The e-mails that you send from your E75 are already encoded with UTF-8 (at least if they contain non-ASCII characters).
    The problem is either being cause by an incorrectly set e-mail server (not likely), or by the e-mail client (or web browser) that you're using to read the message.
    I've just tested sending an e-mail from my E75 (using an ovi account with Nokia Messaging) containing various non-ASCII characters (ä, ö, ñ, etc.) two different accounts (one of them was read using Lotus Notes, the other is a webmail account), and both display everything correctly.
    If you can, send yourself an e-mail containing swedish letters to an e-mail account where you can view the e-mail in "source" form, and check if you see the following lines in the header:
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
    If you don't see exactly that, please look for lines in the header that begin with "Content" and post them here!
    It may help also if you post details of how you are reading the e-mail (webmail, and if so, which browser; or an e-mail client, and if so, which; operating system, language of OS, etc.)
    Good luck.

  • Intermittant Audio Stream

    I have noticed intermittant audio stream since I have had my computer. Whenever, I watch a video track or and audio track such as Apple Tips of the Week, the audio comes out broken and interrupted, not smooth audio or the voice output does not match up with the indivivdual speaking the words. I always thought this may had to do with the internal speed of the processor. I have been dealing with this so long that I finally decided to ask the Discussion Group about it.
    Any ideas?

    No answer by Discussion Group. May repost at a later time

  • When sending job from Final Cut Pro to Compressor using local QCluster

    When sending job from Final Cut Pro to Compressor by way of Share and using the local QCluster, the audio renders, but the video errors out saying something along the lines of Can not locate file.
    If I use 'This Computer' it works fine.
    What gives?
    Fresh install of OS and FCS.
    Thanks!

    I'm just learning the intricacies of Compressor and Qmaster myself, but I have learned that when you use Qmaster you can not share directly from FCP. You must export a Quicktime movie (reference movie seems to be fine) and input that to Compressor. This is only an issue when using Qmaster, as you've seen.

  • Video does not display when sending from Final Cut Pro to Motion

    Suddenly, when sending an audio & video sequence to Motion, a new Motion file is created, and all my layers come in properly, but the video does not display.
    The audio plays fine, and Motion clearly know that there are video tracks there, but it does not display them.
    Additionally, when rendering the Motion file back in FCP, it turns in to black video.
    I have previous sequences within the same project that were sent just fine, and are editable properly, but any new ones I try to create just come out black.
    Help, please?

    Do you have Motion mistakenly set to render out with an Alpha channel?
    Double click your Motion clip in the Timeline. Go to Modify > Composite Mode in the menu bar and set the Alpha to "None/Ignore".

  • When sending an e-mail I used to just click on contacts then click on the name or group I wanted to send the e-mail to and move it to the "To" area of the e-mail.  All of a sudden I now get a full screen in "contacts" and can no longer move a name .

    MacBookPro 15
    OS - Yosemite
    Problem area - "Contacts"
    Problem - when sending an e-mail in "Mail" I used to open contacts to get an address.  A small window opened, I clicked on addressee and moved the addressee name to the e-mail.  Can no longer do this because I now get a full screen in Contact.
    Question - how do I get back to the small window in Contact?

    Mike,
    Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
    I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer.  Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected.  It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

  • Why am I getting sound distortion when connecting iPad 2 to amplifier.

    I am getting sound distortion when connecting iPad or iPod thru amplifier using AirPlay or 3.5mm to rca cables. Also the sound has far too much bass. No problems when connected in car.

    It sounds like a mismatched impedence.  What are you connecting to?   the output from the jack is intended for headphones, and is not just an audio out.
    Try turning the volume on the pad way down, and use the gain on your amp, and see if that minimizes the issue.
    There is a pure audio signal for both channels on the 31 pin plug, but you would need a special cable to use it.  I would bet they are available if you google.  Although I have read that the 31 pin signal is not filtered like the headphone output, so while it is a pure audio output, there may be some noise in it that would need to be filtered.
    Try google for a 31 pin cable.  ( the input for the car is probably built to take a signal from a headphone output, while your amp may be expecting a lower power signal)

  • Sound distorted when I listen to headphones since installing latest update

    Ever since installing the update on my iPhone 5s, the audio is distorted whenever I try to use headphones. The sound is fine until I plug my headphones in, at which point it sounds muffled as if I am listening to the music through the walls.  I have not damaged my phone recently and also tried this with two different pairs of headphones. Both headphones work fine when I plug them into other items; it only gets distorted when I plug in headphones. Please help!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
