Streaming Sound File Playing Early

I'm creating a presentation in Flash v8. It's the very same
presentation I created in v5 last month but now I'm recreating it
from scratch in v8 and something's happening now that didn't happen
then.
It's a simple Flash document with multiple scenes and no
Actionscript. I'm starting a new .wav sound file (narration) at the
start of each scene. When I play each scene individually in the
Flash environment, the sound synchs fine with the events in the
presentation. But when I run the presentation as a .swf or .exe,
the sound file on scene 2 begins playing before scene 1 has
finished playing. The sound file from scene 3 begins playing before
scene 2 has finished, etc. This didn't happen in the same
presenation I created in v5. Is there something new that I haven't
figured out yet?

Its doing this to me too....
Same thing - a series of scenes - each with sound streamed on
its own layer.
as soon as one sound ends, the next scene's sounds starts -
The sounds are synched correctly in edit mode - its just when
I play the SWFs.
I'm publishing a MENU movie as a projector - this menu calls
the other SWFs.

Random sound files play

Recently, when changing tabs on Firefox, random sound files play. They sounded like PCH sound files so I contacted them. Their support team confirmed that this is a known bug and "would be fixed soon". I can find nothing on the web but few people would associate random Firefox sound files playing with a PCH infection anyway. I want to get rid of them now. Any solutions?
Windows 8.1, HP Pavilion laptop using Firefox.

PCH installed the file in FlashPlayer.
Clearing Flash Cache killed the file and the problem.
Here are the directions for doing that:
If you are using a Windows machine running Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari:
Click the "Start" button located in the bottom left hand corner of your screen.
Windows 8 means a treasure hunt, or Cursor to top right corner, Settings, Control Panel
Click on "Control Panel" (or depending on your system setup, "Settings" and then "Control Panel").
Click on "Flash Player" (or "System and Security" and then "Flash Player").
Click on the "Advanced" tab located along the top of the "Flash Player Settings Manager".
Ensure the latest version of flash player is installed (click "check now" to verify which version you have installed).
Click the "Delete All..." button located at the top of the "Advanced" section of the "Flash Player Settings Manager".
Ensure that there is a checkmark beside the "Delete All Site Data And Settings" option.
(IMPORTANT: leave the "Delete All Audio and Video License Files" option UNCHECKED).
Next, click the "Delete Data" button located in the bottom right hand corner of this window.
Close the "Flash Player Settings Manager".
Close the "Control Panel".
Restart your browser
If you are using Google Chrome please follow the below instructions:
Click on the following link to navigate to Adobe's online Flash Player Settings Manager.
Click on the "Delete all sites" button.
Restart your browser.
To clear the Flash Player cache on a Mac, please follow these steps:
Close your web browser.
Click on the Apple logo in the upper, right-hand corner of your screen and choose "System Preferences"
Click on the "Flash Player" icon near the bottom of the System Preferences window.
Under the "Storage" tab, click on the "Delete All" button.
On the next window, make sure the "Delete All Site Data and Settings" option is selected and unselect the "Delete All Audio and Video License Files" option.
Click the "Delete Data" button.
Close the System Preferences window.

Sound file plays automatically...

Hello,
Can someone please direct me on how to prevent my sound file from playing when the page it's on is loaded?
I dragged a sound file from my finder into my keynote. It appears as an icon that looks like a speaker. It's fully functional, everything works great. However, the problem is that the audio file starts playing the moment the page is loaded.
I want to be able to play the audio file manually after I have verbally presented the page.
Help would be incredibly appreciated. This is my first presentation, ever, with Keynote. It's the only kink I've experienced, so far.
Thank you so much,
YahYah

Select your first audio clip you want to play and then in the Inspector>Build Tab (third tab from left) under Build In>Effect, select Start Audio. Click the button on the bottom that says More Options make sure the Start Build is set to On Click (this is the default, so you shouldn't have to worry about that). Now your first clip won't start until you click.
Then to make sure that they don't all play at once. Select your first clip again and add a Build Out that happens Automatically after build 1 to Stop Audio and set the delay so that it is the length of the clip. +This is where things can get a little tricky as you can only add a delay of 60 seconds. So if you clip is 90 seconds, you need to add a transparent shape or empty text box that you can add builds and actions to to makeup the extra 30 seconds.+ Finally select your second clip and add a Build In to Start Audio Automatically with build 2.
If you have multiple audio clips that you want to play back to back, it may be easiest to importing them into GarageBand and making one audio clip out of them.
Hope this helps

Flash animation with stream sound not playing in mac

Dear all,
I have made a 5 min animation with stream sound. Its playing perfectly in PC. But in mac, its not playing. Stream sound starts from frame 60. So mac plays the swf plays till 60 frame, after that it pauses. I tried importing different sound format (wav, aif, mp3) and tried with all sound export setting but the problem remain same; its playing only till 60. When i removed the sound, it played till end. Even with event sound, it plays till end. But with stream sound, the problem. The problem is only in mac; in pc its perfect.
I am using VMware Mac OS x leopard in window xp for testing purpose. I tested it in laptop with mac; but the problem is same. What could be the solution?
Thanks in advance. Waiting for solution.

Dear all, I solved the problem myself. The problem was with the sound driver of mac. After installing sound driver, the problem is gone. Bhushan

StopAllSounds vs. new Streaming Sound not playing

In my timeline, I'm using a stopAllSounds action (because the
user could be coming from anywhere in the movie and I need to stop
whatever narration might be playing), then, in the next frame, I'm
trying to stream a new sound. My problem is that the streaming
sound doesn't play. I've tried adding a few frames between the
stopAll Sounds action and the start of the streaming sound, but
that doesn't seem to be the problem. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.

I was about to try your suggestion, but after sending a few more test emails, I discovered that it does in fact play the sound sometimes. I sent about 20 test emails, and they were all received using the "idle" command, with about 75% of them playing the sound. There was a 5-10 second delay between the messages being received and the sound playing that I don't remember from Snow Leopard, but I'm not positive about that.
It shouldn't be the actual sound that is the issue, being that it is played sometimes, but I still don't know why it's not playing every time. I tried receiving messages with the app running in the background, with it minimized, and with it as the active window, but I couldn't find any specific instance that caused it to not play the sound.
I wasn't having this issue in Mail 4. It didn't start until I installed Lion, which I did a clean install of, if it matters.
I'm still open to thoughts on this, and thank you for your help.

Stream sound without playing it outloud

Is there a way to stream music through FME without the sound being played through the streaming computer's speakers? I've got it set up with Window's Stereo Mix, so it does play sound, but in order for the sound to be played through the stream it has to be turned up on the computer I'm streaming from. Is there a way to get the sound turned off on my computer but still allow it to be heard through the stream?
If it helps, it's a laptop so I can't just turn the sound off. A low-tech solution might be to simply put a stereo jack that leads to nothing in the laptop but that seems crude...

The tick counter has a resolution of 1 ms. Resolution, accuracy, and the responsiveness of the OS are three different things. The issue is that OS latency can be 10s of milliseconds or occasionally longer. If the OS decides to index the hard drive between the time you read the tick count and send the start audio command, your tone could be quite late. Sending the TTL pulse is a third call to the OS. So you have two latency times for each trial. Unless you have a real-time operating system, this latency issue will introduce randomness into your data.
Try sending TTL pulses of 50 ms duration every 200 ms, software timed, for a few minutes and look at the variation in the edge timing. Then try it again with tones thrown into the mix and see if the variation changes.
That is where hardware timing and synchronization pays off.

Why won't my sound files play in preview?

I have created a Keynote slideshow for a new course on an iMac, and I am trying to preview it in iTunes U on an iPad. For each slide of the show I imported a sound file of my lecture, which I recorded in Garageband. When I open iTunes U on my iPad, I find the course just fine. Then I find the new POSTS and click on one of them. The slide show opens nicely on the iPad, but there is no sound and no sound on-off button.
Where did my sound files go? How do I access them on iTunes U?
Thanks for the help.

Nobody has a clue about this?
If not, does anybody know where I can get an answer?
Thanks,

How do I lower sound file volume during video play?

I have a Flash CS4 project with sound that starts to play in the first scene, set to event/loop so that it plays all through the entire time.
But I have a piece of video with audio in another scene and I would like to have the sound file playing at a lower volume while the video is playing, then get it to return to normal volume when the video is over.
I have no actionscript at this point. Just timeline animations, etc.
Anyone have an idea how I could accomplish this?
Thanks!

Thank you for this, but unfortunately, I don't think this quite does what I am aiming for.
1) Now the file is in AS3.
2) I have one audio file making background music throughout the entire file.
3) The video comes in at a later scene.
4) I want to lower the volume of the background music file while the video is playing, then get it to normal volume after the video.
Thanks for your help.

After import to iTunes 11.1, audio file plays -6db quieter - sound check off

when importing any .aiff into my MBP running 10.8.5, any sound file plays correctly when played via Quicktime Pro or using the 10.8 (spacebar) preview function.
When imported into the new iTunes 11.1 application, sounds play (I would roughly estimate) -6db quieter than when not played via this app.
Sound Check / Sound Enhancer functions are NOT on....
Anybody else experience this glitch / know the reason why ?

I'm having the same exact experience. It worked fine up until the 11.1 update, and then it just ceased to work.
I used to get a pop up window saying initializing or something of that sort, then if the video wasn't the right encoding, it would stop. If it was the right encoding, the video would then move to the top center of ribbon with a progress bar for the import. I've tried drag and drop, and also going to File -> Add File to Library. Neither methods work. I've even tried adding an entire folder to the library, and still nothing.
Is this an intentional act on behalf of Apple or a bug?

How can I use a sound file on one slide, which fades to another sound file on the next?

I am trying to make a slide show that begins with a certain sound file, which then I hope to fade out to the second slide which uses a different sound file, I've followed Apple's online tutorials, but what happens is I get two sound files playing simultaneously. Also, I'd like to add sounds files to different individual slides throughout the presentation, which I want to play independently from the entire slide show's sound track. I have programmed the slides to change automatically. Is there any way I can have multiple sound files on multiple slides all playing independently, without playing over the top of the previous sound file? I imagine this is a simply task, so my apologies if this is the case. Thanks in advance for any help!
kind regards,

Getting sound to work right in Keynote requires a basic understanding that:
1. Sound played during slide transitions (from one slide to the next) must be placed in the Document Inspector > Audio > Soundtrack Well - there can only be one audio file and it plays across all slides
2. Additional sounds files can be placed on individual slides as sound objects - each object can have build-in and build-out assignments, but sound files need at least a Build-In > Start Audio (done in the Build Inspector) - each object, wether a shape, image, sound or movie can have discrete start timing such that the start of one sound object can be delayed X seconds after the previous event. This can be used to avoid overlapping starts or playing. If you know the length of each sound file object, you can adjust the start to occur after the end of a previous sound using the Build Inspector. Click on the More Options Button to display the event build-order list and click on the event to reveal how the build starts and add any delays to start there.
3. Keynote does not have a Fade Feature - any fade-in or fade-out (sound up/sound down) of audio files must be done to the sound file using third party applications and then brought into Keynote. If you'd like to join the crowd wishing Apple might add this feature in the future, you can provide feedback to Apple here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
4. If you need an audio file to play across a few slides and another audio file to play across another few slides, break the presentation into seperate documents, place the audio in the soundtrack well for each document and then add a hyperlink object to connect to the next Keynote document in the series. Note: all files must be "opened" in the background and ready to play or else the next file will attempt to start but stall just when you don't need it to.
Hope this helps.

How do I "join" an mp4 sound file and a 'photo that I can upload to YouTube?

Thanks.

Drag the photo to your project timeline. Now drag the sound file directly onto the photo thumbnails - a green bar will appear under the thumbnails. You can drag this bar back and forwards to correctly position it.
Double-click on the photo to open the Inspector and change the duration to the length of your sound file. Finally, drag the end of the sound file to the end of the photo thumbnails, so that the full sound file plays in the project. Change the photo duration again if necessary.
If you click on the icon to the left of the Project thumbnail slider, the sound file waveforms will appear within the green bar. You can drag fade markers inwards at either end of the waveforms to create a fade in or fade out effect.

Xperia T2 Music/Sound file player pause randomly

I had posted about this problem a couple of weeks ago and thought it was fixed by factory reset. But the problem came back within a few days. The issue I am having is that sound files played throught the headphones would pause randomly then restart within a few seconds (regardless of which app I am using to play the music/podcast sound file). The problem began after updating to Lollipop, never had problem with KitKat. I have wiped the SD card, factory reset the phone and use the repair option on PC Companion multiple times, same problem.

I've been having the same problem here, except it's worse. Never had any trouble before with KitKat / Walkman player. After updating to Lollipop / Music, music started to randomly pause, then resume after about 3 seconds. This pause is not shown as pause/play by the player, it seems as it never stopped playing, only the progress bar stops moving. Also even worse than this, I've been experiencing sound distortion, like if my music was extremely low quality, sound stuttering and all. It happens randomly, and gets better and worse over time. Normally it stops for a while when I reset the device. I've tried Sony Music player and also a 3rd party Neutron player, which offers a lot of features to improve playback. Sure enough, it improves sound quality noticeably, but unfortunately after a while the same problem appears. I may be mistaken, but when using the Neutron player, it seems sound quality degrades continuously up to a point where playback stops, then when it resumes, sound quality seems back to normal. This problem seemed to happen only with earphones plugged, but lately I've been noticing distortion of ringtones to, could be just my imagination, though. I've also done a factory reset last week, through the Sony PC Companion on my PC, but it didn't solve the issue. I haven't yet tried to format my SD card, maybe I'll try that as a last resort. The earphones are the same from before Lollipop, a pair of decent shure monitors. All media being played is stored in the exact same location and exact same SD card, which is a sandisk ultra 32 GB class 10 / HC1. All of this seem to point at some kind of software problem related to Lollipop...

My imported swf files have lost their streaming sound. What can I do?

I am trying to import a swf I made that contains streaming sound. When I place it on the time line and press cntr enter my animation plays but with no audio. I see the symbols from the swf and the swf inside my library. When I open the swf file inside my project it is broken down frame by frame with no audio. I can add audio back into my movie clip so I know that movie clips can support streaming audio. But I would rather not have to do this.
I'm very new to flash so I am hoping there is something big that I am missing.
In addition to my previous question: I need to embed a lot of objects over and over in this project I am working on. Each object will have controls for play back of itself. Is there some reason I cannot do this?
Thank you for any advice you may have.

Thank you for your reply
Ok. I will need to maintain a libary of movie clips that contain streaming audio and simple scripts. Does anyone know of a good tutorial for importing a file at runtime? I've seen something called shared libary properties and it has a field for a url. I put a swf file on my web site and took it's url and put it into this field but nothing shows in my library. What else do I need to do?

To play a stream audio file with external program...

Hi, I get with stream a sound file and I have to play it using an external program like VLC, reading the file continuously of a buffer. How can I do it? Would I have to controll VLC commands? I have been reading about it, but I have no idea how to do it.
Thanks.

One way would be that you implement and run an RSTP server and give its URLs to VLC, RealPlayer or whatever proper RSTP client program.

Event when streaming sound is ready to play

Hello,
I'd like to know, when a streaming sound has preloaded enough
and would
start to play.
Since I have also to preload some images and xml files, I
load a
streaming sound, stop it immediately and when everything has
enough
buffer, I want to start them all manually...
How can I do this?
josp

Hi josp,
I have the same question and I'm wondering--did you ever
figure it out?
Thanks,
