Sustain pedal drops out randomly

During playback on a piano track the sustained note drops out in a few parts of the song. I have checked the sustain curve and there is no drop in it, what could be the problem? Any settings I need to be aware of?

Add me to the list of infuriated fanboys. This is exactly the same problem that AirTunes had and I've made dozens of attempts over the past five years to resolve this issue.
I was was so excited when I discovered that I could use AirPlay, and send the music directly from my iPhone. Having already had such a good experience with watching movies, I thought the days of anger and frustration over what should be a simple fix were over... But alas, we are forced to continue to suffer with this problem.
What I cannot understand, is how a 90 minute movie with 5 channel surround sound can play almost flawlessly, but I can't listen to a song with out having it drop out with random interruptions.
My MacBook Pro, iPhone, Airport Extreme, and AppleTV are all within a eight foot radius of each other, and all within direct line of sight. Absolutely should not be a problem.
Really Steve, you need to get this fixed.

  • Left speaker drops out randomly in iTunes 7

    First problem I have had with iTunes.
    After installing v7 my left speaker randomly drops out. Stopping/starting the song again or going to a new song clears it up... but it randomly happens over and over.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Anyone have any ideas? I know I can choose to have 5
    upcoming songs listed, but that interferes with the
    songs I drag over because the 5 randomly selected
    songs get played before whatever I've dragged to the
    playlist.
    You can always drag the songs you've chose ahead of the 5 randomly chosen ones. I use Party Shuffle a lot. Part of the time, I let iTunes select randomly, but as I feel a yen to hear a particular song or group of songs, I highlight them, control- click and select Play Next in Party Shuffle. And sometimes, I just want to rearrange the list. Just highlight and drag up or down.

  • Airport drops out randomly

    Hello..
    Am trying to get to the bottom of why my airport drops out at random times roughly once every hour. I then just need to select my router again and it reconnects.
    This isn't a massive dilemma unless i'm downloading a large file - can't leave it over night to download.
    Is more of a gripe than a complaint - is just annoying when it happens.
    Any ideas?

    I have a 2 week old MacBook and am experiencing the exact same problem. I can make it happen more frequently by downloading a large file (220mb) from the 'net. Still have not been able to retrieve that file. If anyone knows what the **** is going on-please let me know -> [email protected]
    I may try adjusting (or fixing) the transmission channel of the router as I have several other wireless networks in the immediate vicinity. But the fact that I can make it drop by trying to pull down a large file speaks to other problems.
    One thing - in my widgets I have the iStat window running that displays numerous operating data. It is interesting the temperature of the Airport Card - according to the window- is running 142 - 151 degrees, much much warmer than all the other components WHEN I try to download the big file. ANd the conneciton was dropped when the temp exceeded 151 degrees.
    As I type this the temperature has dropped to 130 degrees.
    Is anyone else running the iStat widget and seeing the same thing.

  • Audio Drops Out Randomly

    I'm having a problem where audio randomly drops out during playback of videos in the viewer.  I'll be watching a video clip, and then out of nowhere the audio will just stop.  Sometimes if I click stop and play again, the audio returns.  Sometimes the audio never comes back until I restart the program even if I change video clips.  I never have this problem when viewing sequences though.  It only happens when I'm previewing clips before adding them to my sequence so when it gets really bad I end up adding all the potential video clips to the sequence before trimming and arranging them just so I can hear the sound.
    This consistently happens to me on my Macbook Pro and my Windows 8 PC both running the most up-to-date version of Premiere Pro CS6.  All of the video content I'm working with is in AVCHD format.  The Macbook is a 2008 pre-unibody model with OS 10.8, 4 GB RAM, a Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz processor, and an NVidia 128 MB video card.  The PC is running Windows 8 with 16 GB RAM, a 2 GB video card, and an Intel I7 processor with 3.4 GHz.

    In the Premiere Pro help file it states:
    Conforming audio
    Premiere Pro processes each audio channel, including audio channels in video clips, as 32-bit floating-point data at the sequence sample rate. This processing assures maximum editing performance and audio quality. Premiere Pro conforms certain types of audio to match the 32-bit format and the sequence sample rate. If conforming is required, it is done when a file is imported into a project for the first time. Conforming takes some time and disk space. A progress bar appears at the lower right of the Premiere Pro window when conforming begins. Premiere Pro saves conformed audio in CFA audio preview files. You can determine where to save these audio preview files by specifying a Scratch Disk location for Audio Previews in the Project Settings dialog box.
    You can work with audio files, even applying effects to them, before they are fully conformed. However, you can preview only the parts of the files that have been conformed. You cannot hear unconformed sections on playback.
    These rules determine which types of audio get conformed:
    See: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS9FAF538A-BEE3-4925-B45A-DF8BE7F2A2E5.ht ml#WS00AF9E2E-9F99-4aff-8961-1E2F30E9ECCC
    It doesn't hurt to look at the Prmiere Pro help files once in a while to learn various processes, etc.

  • My audio drops out randomly, hers is occasionally ...

    For the past year I have frequently used Skype on my Android phone (Nexus 5) to talk to my fiancee on her Windows 8.1 laptop. We do so from our respective homes, so we're both on WiFi to a solid Internet connection (DSL in my case, cable Internet in hers). I'm using the latest Android Skype client (5.0.0.55107) and she's using the latest Windows 8.1 Skype client (6.21.0.104). Ever since the Android 5.0 (Lollipop) update, my audio keeps dropping on her end for no apparent reason.
    This happens at random but frequent intervals and for short durations (ca. 30 seconds per episode). It is absolutely maddening. Even though she hasn't changed anything on her Windows 8.1 laptop, and I've reinstalled Skype on my Nexus 5, my audio drops out some of the time during every single call. This happens very often during a call. It's to the point that I can't even open my mouth without expecting that my audio will drop out in the middle of what I'm saying, so that I end up having to repeat myself. If I'm really frustrated, I'll just type what I was going to say.
    On the first few calls after my Nexus 5 received the Lollipop update, her audio would also sometimes drop out. We had to hang up and reestablish the call for her audio to come back on my end. Since then, we haven't had that particular problem, but sometimes her voice is garbled - as if I'm only hearing every other syllable - even though she's speaking directly at the microphone. Both systems (phone and laptop) are up to date, latest drivers, latest Skype, etc.
    Given that she hasn't changed anything at all on her end, it's rather clear that the latest Skype for Android has a problem. TL;DR: I appear to be "muted" to other caller at random, even though I'm not muting myself, and her voice is occasionally garbled. It happens over and over again during a call, without warning.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Unfortunately, although my audio is no longer dropping out, we have been unable to use Skype for the last couple of days.
    Last night, I could neither receive nor make Skype calls using my phone.  If she called, it would only ring on my desktop PC.  If I called her, it never rang on her end, and would either ring once or not at all (i.e. the sound effect I normally hear when calling didn't play) and would simply "fail" for no apparent reason.
    Skype on my laptop doesn't work well, because there is almost always a problem with my audio being replaced with a "white noise" type sound on her end at random intervals and durations. 
    So, we had to use Google Hangouts video chat last night.  It doesn't work that well either; frequently, there is an absolutely terrible audio feedback/echo problem.
    I hope Skype can be made to work again on my phone.  I've given up hope of it ever working 100% on my laptop, but I'd rather use it on my phone anyway, as it's far more portable.

  • Audio drops out randomly in FCP5

    Hello,
    I'm running FCP 5.0.4 on a G5 OSX 10.3.9 and a AJA io LA with current firmware v1.1 and driver v2.1.
    When playing a sequence, audio will be fine. Going from AJA through mixer, to speakers and decks. Then the audio will cut ot completely, but video will continue to play. The meters in FCP show the audio is there, but nothing is getting to the mixer, and therefore nothing is getting onto tape, or coming out of my speakers. This problem occurs in every project we've worked with, and doesn't happen at the same point in the sequence. Any ideas? I'm not sure what other info might be useful, so please request more if you have any ideas. Thank you for your time.

    Hi all -- I've experienced this problem on a number of projects, one tonight prompted me to check the forum. I used one of the work-arounds and want to report on it, in case it works for someone else or someone with the FCP development team is reading.
    My timeline would drop the audio at a repeatable point each time. If I nested the sequence in another sequence, the audio would play but would have a nasty discontinuity right at the frame where the audio drops out in the original sequence.
    I used the transparent video slug work-around and it worked (create a slug, set its transparency to zero and place it over the spot where the audio drops out). This occured twice in my timeline. Both times I had used a certain video clip. I had to stretch the slug to exactly match the duration of the offending video clip in order to keep the audio from dropping out.
    This sounds like a bug that should be repeatable and fixed. If anyone with FCP development team wants my project, I would be glad to send it to them on a DVD for investigation. I'm running FCP 5.0.3 on a G5 dual 2.7GHz with an internal SATA drive, so it probably isn't a machine speed issue. (I tried the re-render trick and that didn't work and if I remove the slug or change its duration to anything less than the duration of the offending video clip, the audio drops out again.)

  • Yahoo mail account drops out randomly. I have 2 yahoo mail accounts on my Mac. The primary account works fine but the second account loses connection.

    II have 2 yahoo mail accounts on my Mac. The primary account works fine but the second account loses connection. When I put in the password I get a message that it is not the correct password. The only way round it appears to be to go into Yahoo on Safari, log out then log bck in again. If I then go back into Mail and right click on the account I cn then get mail for this account without having to enter a password. The problem only started when I installed Lion, but is still the same in Mountain Lion.

  • T60 Wireless drops out randomly

    Hi,
    We have several Lenovo T60 Thinkpads in our company. Every now and then the wireless disconnects and users are limited to work locally. As we have all our documents on a server that is very annoying to our users.
    As far as I could investigate the problem there is no specific reason linking to when the connection get lost.
    The only indicator is that the little green wireless symbol next to the bluetooth symbol is not activate any more.
    If I check in the hardware device manager the wireless is on. Switiching it to off and again to on does not work. I also deactiviate that Windows might turn the power of to save energy.
    The only solution thats works to bring back the wireless device to run so far is to restart the computer.
    We have a Draytek vigor Router but as other users with different laptops dont face the same problem i would limit it to the T60 series.
    Anyone facing the same problem?Any suggestions?

    have you tried moving the hub as far from the pc as possible in case there is interference from the pc/power supply.
    have you tried a new filter and if possible a different router - even borrowed just to try it.  it is not impossible that there is a problem with the hub but need to try other things first

  • Broadband dropping out

    It seems that every couple of days at random my broadband connection drops and I have to wait for my home hub to reconnect. It has only been happening during the last week.
    Last Monday I had an engineer out to reconnect the lines coming into my house after the bad weather managed to rip them out of the exterior socket. Since they have been reconnected my connection has been dropping out randomly during the evenings. I didn't have this problem before the line got damaged. I have tried a spare filter, it is always plugged into the test/master socket and the phone line sounds a lot clearer now than it did before it was reconnected when I didn't get the drop outs but did get some mild line interference sometimes. Since the engineer visit i seem to have a clearer phone line but a crappier broadband connection

    Only have one socket in the flat which i presume is the master/test socket, think it's the hub 3, had it just over a year now. Finally got access to the settings using the password override.

  • Satellite L500: WLan drops out and doesnt work most of the time

    hi everyone, i have a toshiba satellite L500 running windows 7. have been using iprimus internet, wirelessly, no problems for a few weeks,before that, was using it via ethernet cable as i didnth ave a wireless modem. my laptop was off charge the other night and went flat, next morning when i woke up and turned it on, it wouldnrt connect to the internet.. after hours and hours of phone calls to iprimus, and numerous winsock resets, ethernet cable testing, and modem resetting, they tell me that the problem is within my laptop...
    So i rang toshiba.. and they got me to go into device managers, and then network adapters, and disable, actually uninstall the wireless drivers, then reinstall.. and it worked.. finally... (forgot to add with all the iprimus confusion someone had reset my passowrd and i had to configure that to the laptop..
    so anyway, after all these calls, i did a complete restore of the laptop, and wiped everything and reinstalled it all, and therefore reinstalled the modem. this time in modem setup it was telling me the wireless network adapter was unplugged, and would only let me set it up via ethernet..
    now earlier today i did have the internet.. but it dropped out randomly.. webpages will go slow, sometimes it will reconnect, other times it wont. now i thougbht i might try and uninstall and reinstall the modem again,s ame error, and this time, cant get on wirelessly at all.
    ive googled to see if others ahve had this problem.. and seeing what other people wrote, i went into my battery settings, and checked the WLAN didnt go into sleep mode etc, and ive also checked everythings enabled. ive no idea what to do,, neither iprimus or Toshiba will give me any anwers, both companies are just blaming each other lol
    so i
    it does appear to be my laptop, as all lights are on modem.. and iprimus keep telling me its not registering with them ( the disconnections) so it must be my wireless. though everytime my laptop dropped out of internet, so would my bfs iphone we were testing, and so did my other laptop which is partially stuffed but could normally still connect to the net.. so thats telling me its a modem problem.. ive no idea what to do.. and cant keep this via ethernet on the bench in this new hosue ive moved into,as with 2 kids under 3, thats just asking for trouble..
    anyone have any suggestion??
    thanks in advance

    wel after many more phone calls to iprimus, i finally found a helpful indian, who ran me through the modem setup AGAIN like everyone else has, this time in its security settings, he got me to change the wireless signal channel from 2 to 9, said that would improve the signal, every other person when explaining the issues i was having, always told me to set it on 2.. so this has improved it dramatically in the day, but at night, particulary around 830pm, it drops out over and over and over...
    would this just be a faulty modem, and perhaps buying oen from a harvery norman etc would be better?? or could it just be iprimus as a whole with there wireless coverage? im not in an iprimus area, theyve borrowed the lines of telstra or something.. so im on a crappier plan in this new house, and dont have adsl2 just 1500 speed. would this have anythign to do with the poor reception, or perhaps is there something in my house interfearing, or in my neighbors house? there is a satelite here, but no actual foxtel connected, looks as though it has been before. there is also an alarm here, not in use though.. ive not even seen if it turns on..

  • MacBook Pro Airport connection drops out

    I have a new and really cool MBP.
    I have a 2 year old Airport Express connected to a Motorola Cable Modem creating my wireless home net.
    I also have a 2 years old iBook G4 with no problem connecting to the airport.
    My new MBP has no problem too when is connected to the AC. BUT when I run my MBP from the battery, the connection drops out randomly.
    It's annoying and I cannot find any helpfull support or working solution at Apple.com nor at the other similar thread on this forum. I've tried some proposed solutions. But none worked more than some minutes (which mean that actually they didn't work).
    I have some questions about all this:
    1) Anybody knows if this is a Hardware or a Software issue?
    2) Apple officially said anything about this problem?
    3) Can I use my purchase warranty in order to demmand a replacement?
    4) Is there any official or unofficial solution that really works?
    Please, help. I think it's very stupid to have a nice and really expensive laptop without real wireless capability,
    Who want a wireless connection if you aren't able to use it when you are not connected to the AC????
    If I was running Vista on Dell or HP laptop I would understand. But on a Mac???
    COME ON APPLE!!!!!
    This is the 2nd BIG problem I am facing with my new MBP since I bought it on July. I am frustrated and tired. First I couldn't use Motion 3 for like a month because of a bad update. Now I realize the wireless capability is crap.
    I have the feeling that the older Apple Computers are better... at least they work!

    I had the same problem on my MacBook Pro for the last month or so after "updating" to 10.4.10. Yesterday I tried Loki's fix but couldn't connect at all after that. So I did an archive/install of 10.4.9 and it works better than ever before. I get full signal and it is a lot snappier and faster. The problem is likely in the 10.4.10 update, hopefully Apple will get that fixed in 10.4.11

  • I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out".  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record.  Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song.  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
    There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent.  The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer.  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).  It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
    If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

  • How do I make the internal mic on my macbook air sustain better when recording on garage band? I have been recording an acoustic guitar and listening back, the mic seems to pick it up well naturally for 1 or 2 seconds then dramatically drop out.

  • Why does my ipad randomly drop out of wi-fi?

    My new ipad 4 (the retina one) keeps dropping out of my home wi-fi network. Randomly, when playing music or just browsing it drops out and I have to go onto settings to tap on the network.
    Thanks in advance. :)

    Try #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
