Stuttering Audio from 10.6.8 Update all Outputs

Hi,
I updated to 10.6.8 and now have stuttering audio using either digital output, headphone output and from the internal speakers so I think something there is a bug.
I tried rolling back 'AppleHDA.kext' using the 'MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.7.dmg' and Pacifist but that didn't help the situation.
Anyone else having similar issues/have an idea for a fix? I don't have a time machine backup with with 10.6.7 unfortunately...

I have a early 2008 macbookpro 2.8 duel with silver keys.
I purchaed the 10.6 disk from the apple store. I've had the machine for years and purchased it refurbished from apple.
I did the erase and install and migrated everything over from external drive, then did update to 10.6.8 and the usb ports still would stop working after a few hours.. Then I read on another apple community forus to reset pram, and pull out the power cable, take out the battery and hold power key for 5 seconds, then restart. that seemed to fix usb issue so far..
But overall my computer seems to be running slower then when using just 10.5.8 and it did not wake from sleep once and I had to force power off and restart.. But maybe its just getting used to 10.6.8. we will see..
Also, on another note, my battery is totally dead, and I can only run computer with power cable.. Will this affect things? it never did with 10.5.8..
Oh, on my erase and install, I just did the simplest version and did not do the full erase to zero using he advanced security measures.. I just did the one where it writes on top of everything..

Stuttering audio from airport express...

I installed my first airport express yesterday. Had some problems: my main computer couldn't load the Airport Utility (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7132922&tstart=0), and I've gotten things configured through another computer but I'm getting lots of stuttering audio when I attempt playback.
There's a pattern to it: the song starts fine, and then about 3 seconds in it starts stuttering. A buffering issue?
No problems on the network that I'm aware of.
I tried setting Quicktime to "safe mode waveout", but no help.
Any tips?

Typically, "stuttering" can be a result of either low signal strength or high signal noise values, or both.
It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) from getting a good clean signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like the following to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible:
For Macs:
o MacStumbler
o iStumbler
For PCs:
o NetStumbler
o WiFi Manager

Stuttering Audio from Capture Ingest

I have been having a problem for a while now. When ingesting a tape or direct line, sometimes the audio on the record will begin stuttering. At a seemingly random point, the audio of the record will begin to loop a 1 second bite over and over until the record is complete. Confirmed it is the capture by playing the clip in other programs. Odd thing is the real time playback as it is capturing will sound fine. I end up knowing there is a problem when the capture is complete, because the "Save Captured Clip" window will fail to pop up when it reaches the out point. Instead it will continue to record beyond the set out point.
There is no consistency where this audio fail happens. Sometimes it won't even happen at all. This has happened with DVCPRO tapes, Sony HDCAM tapes, and even a studio line cut from our switcher. Any insight or suggestions would be helpful.

Bookmarking audio books downloaded from CDs

I'm asking this question on the behalf of my cousin . . . don't know which iPod she has or what Windows OS she's using. Can't find a related subject. Can anyone help?

I think I know what you mean. I have run across one major issue when importing books from CDs, and that is bookmarking. Specifically, how to save your place in a multi-track playlist (such as a CD imported book).
1. It is easy to make TRACKS bookmarkable... here is a script to do that as a batch.
http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts07.php?page=3#makebookmarkable
The problem is, audio books imported from CDs are multiple tracks... and end up, not as single tracks, but as playlists.
2. Apple has failed to make a PLAYLIST bookmarkable, and you will have to remember what track number you are on in the book. The TRACKS are bookmarkable, the PLAYLIST is not. So, if ever you want to leave and return to the book, it will remember where you are inside a given track, but it will forget WHICH track you are on in the book. Silly, but true.
3. Ask Apple to create a "Save my place in this playlist" feature. Or maybe a "treat this playlist as a single audiobook" feature.
It is an oversight that may be easy to correct. Maybe they just haven't thought it through.
I drive my kids to school listening to Harry Potter. But when I get there, I want to save my place (in both playlist and track) and listen to my music. Then, when I pick them up, I want to resume from the place (both playlist and track) that I left off. Currently this requires my feeble brain to remember which of the 170 tracks I was on. I should not have to remember, iPod is more qualified than I am at this task.
Hey, Apple... Howzabout 3 "memories" which hold the position (in playlist and track). That would be a big enhancement to my daily iPod use.
Another enhancement would be to make a track "unshuffleable." I like my music shuffled, but it's disaster for my books. I got tired of going to settings after each school run, and turned shuffle off - since when it is on for music, it is on for books as well. Maybe, in addition to being bookmarkable, a playlist could be unshuffleable! Just another thought from someone who uses his iPod daily to listen to both music and books.

Just upgraded an iMac with 4GB Memory and Intel Processor from 10.6.8 to Mavericks and Quicktime plays m4v files with stuttering audio

I just upgraded an iMac with 4GB Memory and 3.33 Ghz Intel Core Duo Processor from 10.6.8 to Mavericks. I now have Quicktime 10.3 which plays m4v files with stuttering audio. This is a nightmare as I use Quicktime a lot in my research. I have seen similar threads but so far only reporting the problem. For now I have installed Quicktime Player 10.7 (which appears in utilities, leaving Quicktime 10.3 in the main applications list) which plays the same videos with no problem, but it would be good to know if anyone has managed to find a workaround at all, or know if Apple have plans to do anything about it?

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.

Airplay audio from Yosemite stutters intermittently, video remains unusable.

I've come across numerous other threads describing this issue but none seems to have a resolution other than "wait until Apple fixes it via update", so I decided to make a post and see if I could find some newer answers since it's been a while.
Upon updating my macbook pro to Yosemite back in when it was released, Airplay audio from my MacBook to my Apple TV 3rd Gen stutters for about 30 seconds after beginning Airplay and intermittently thereafter. With Mavericks, everything worked perfectly and nothing has changed hardware-wise since then, which handily implies that Yosemite is to blame. Still, I have wiped and restored both my macbook and the Apple TV (via usb), and even my router (Airport Extreme ac) in my efforts to troubleshoot with no luck. Wifi conditions are maybe 8 feet with direct line of sight and I've tried both 2.4 and 5 GHz spectra. Video airplay functions after a fashion but has a continuous stutter that makes it practically unusable. Note that this issue also affects my partner's MBP but both of our iPhone 6's continue to function perfectly.
Other solutions I have come across include disabling bluetooth on the mac, but this solution is untenable as it breaks the functionality of Continuity features which I have come to depend on and also doesn't seem to work for everyone, and several terminal commands which alter the behavior of bluetooth on my system which ultimately have the same adverse side effects as simply disabling it.
I am seriously lamenting this broken airplay functionality and, since it was a key motivator in my use of the Apple TV product, am strongly considering something different. Am I pretty much just out of luck here?

I forgot to mention that the Apple TV is connected to the Airport via ethernet cable.

How can I get the audio from my video to playback in Keynote?

I pulled a flv from YouTube. Converted it to an mp4 and imported it to my iTunes library. Using the media browser, I imported the video into my Keynote presentation. The video plays back fine. However, there is no audio-despite the volume on my mac and the volume on the movie in the inspector is all the way up. The video plays back with audio in iTunes, but not in Keynote.
My presentation is due Tuesday night. This video is the only thing keeping it incomplete. What gives?

If it's music purchased from iTunes then you should be able to copy it over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. If it's music that you purchased from elsewhere and/or copied from CDs and you don't have it elsewhere then there are some programs listed half-way down this page that should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Where can I find a tutorial on importing from CDs

I would llike to import music, song title, album name, singers name, and plctures from CDs, and afterward know where the files are stored on my hard disk. I can't figure out how to use the settings in iTunes Preference and Windows default settings. Where can I find tutorials, and tips?, The User Guide is driving me nuts.

Importing To Computer (via Windows Media Player): All your music is saved to your Music Folder on your computer. Most CD (if got from retail store or public library) it should already shows the song title, album name, singers name, and plctures. After ripping. Its saved to your Media Player and your computer.
Importing To Computer (via iTunes): All music is saved to your Music Folder on your computer. Unlike Media Player, iTunes will ALWAYS convert videos from WMA to either MP3 or MP4-Audio, or M4A.
BTW: IF you rip music from a RECORDABLE or REWRITABLE CDs from friends, most likely, it will only show the song(s) title and artist.

Apogee Duet FireWire skipping/stuttering audio

I've bought Apogee Duet FireWire back in 2011 when I had another macbook pro and I believe it was OS X Lion powered. The problem started since I updated to Mountain Lion and next upgrades were the same. There was a time when it was not very clean if the drivers at the official apogee's site are fresh enough. But now I have OS X Yosemite and fresh drivers that claim to be for this system. As to hardware, since Apogee had only FW400 wire, later I bought FW800 wire, and then FW800<->ThunderBolt adapter. So now I use this connection: Duet -> FW400/FW800 wire -> FW800/ThunderBolt adaptor -> MacBook Pro. The audio is working normal in 80% of time, but otherwise there are stutterings of the sound. Is there a way to get rid of this problem? Thank you.

I just started having problems with my Duet this afternoon and found this thread so I thought I'd give a shout out to you guys to see if you have any ideas before talking with the company....
I've had my Apogee Duet since about feb and never had any problems until this afternoon. For some reason the Duet doesn't seem to want to interface with my computer at all anymore. When plugged in, the lights light up on the Duet however under system profiler I get the "unable to list firewire devices" error msg. Under the Sound tab in preferences, the Duet is not listed as an available I/O. In the Apple Midi Setup or whatever it's called in utilities, the icon for the Duet is still there but it doesn't show it as online. I can still press the big button and the little green light cycles through input 1/input 2 yada yada yada, but the computer doesn't seem to see it. When I open up Maestro, both the control and mixer screens are completely blank. I've tried resetting the unit (holding button down for 5 seconds), using different firewire cords, and finally uninstalling and reinstalling the Maestro software (using the Duet software - May 2008 link on apogees site) and none of these things solve the problem. I haven't had a chance to plug in another FW400 device into my Macbook Pro to see if it's a problem with the port, but I get the same result with the Duet on my MBP and my G5 PPC tower, which leads me to believe it's a problem with the unit. Also, since it's bus-powered, the lights wouldn't light up if the ports on the computer were fried, right?? Has this happened to anyone else?? Any ideas on how to fix it before calling up Apogee?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can I import just the audio from a DVD into itunes????

I'm a beginner to this Itunes and have been wondering this. If I can take audio files off of CDs and put them into Itunes. Can I take just audio from a DVD and put that into Itunes. Example: Can I take the audio from a live concert DVD for just one song?

Welcome, Don, to the Apple Discussions!
No, you can't do that with iTunes.
There is third-party software available that allows you to do so, though.
You might want to pay a visit to Google and enter
b dvd audio ripping
or some such terms.
Good Luck!

How to rip RAW PCM audio from a DVD

Hi guys,
I know audition can rip audio from a cd and from a video file but how can I rip the raw pcm audio from a dvd. I usually just record using 'what you hear' through my soundcard but is there a more accurate way of ripping the audio from a dvd? Any help would be nice....thanks in advance
George

I don't know of a way to do it with Audition, but there are some free little programs like VirtualDubMod or SmartRipper that can rip the WAV. There are some tutorials on the net on how to do it.
Just as a side note, PCM Audio on DVDs has 48 kHz samplerate, not 44.1 kHz like CDs.

All I want is audio from a DVD!

I have a few music DVD's, and all I want is to get the audio from them into my iPod. 1) I've seen the debate rage re. whether or not one SHOULD be able to copy DVD's (video and all), but no one ever definitively asked or answered, much less on this specific question re. "audio only from a DVD imported to iPod or iTunes Library." 2) I understand that if it involves a "work-around" of copy right protection measures, that such "work-around" instructions cannot be given here. 3) But if that is the case, WHY?! I don't get it... copy right laws allow us to burn copies of CD's we own, why are DVD's any different?
Andrew

hey there Addys,
DVD's use a different codec, sample & bit rate as well as a bunch of other specs than CDs. also commercial DVDs, be they Audio or Video have a copy protection scheme. in addition, the few Audio DVDs i've heard also have some sort of image. music CD's on the other hand have no copy protection to circumvent. iPod & iTunes music will only do stereo audio anyway, not the 5.1 you may have on your Audio DVD.
it's against the terms of use here to discuss ways to circumvent DVD copy protection.
