T410 Conexant Audio HD Hissing / cut off problem

Hi,
I just got my new T410 few days ago, and I notice this problem w/ the audio. The speakers consistently make this hissing / flapping noise and the volume will cut off after 2 - 3 sec. This is happening all the time, whether i am playing music video, youtube, mp3... even the Lenovo audio test... basically everything that needs sound.
I have updated all of my drivers and bios. The machine is T410 with 64-bit Windows 7.
Does anyone else have the same problem and/or know how to fix it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Allan

You can try with a previous driver version. But I think it's a hardware problem.
Best regards.

Question...audio clips being cut off

Hi...just started having this issue...audio clips, usually less than 20 seconds, are now being cut off at the last few seconds of the clip. Can't figure out wny it is happening or how to correct it. If I select Edit, Play Original, I can hear the full clip.

Welcome to the PPRO forum, soneman28. We're going to need some more info.
What version of PPRO are you running. Exactly (e.g., "6.0.5" or "7.0.1" = good; CS6 or CC = not good)
exactly what kind of clips? The file type. The audio codec. And their source, too.
if they're A/V clips (as opposed to audio-only), have you messed with the frame rate through the Interpret Footage dialog?
Do you hit this problem both in the Source Monitor and with clips that have been added to a sequence (i.e., playing from the Timeline/Program Monitor)

Audio clips prematurely cut-off

Hello there,
I'm fairly new to Macs and Sountrack Pro so please bear with me!
I'm currently tasked with cutting clips from long audio interviews. They're provided in .wma so I convert them to .mp3 using Switch. Once in Soundtrack Pro I'm cutting and trimming them, improving the sound quality, saving them as WAVE files and finally, using Easy WMA to convert them to mp3.
The majority of clips have been fine but there are few particular clips which are cutting off prematurely. It doesn't matter how much allowance time I leave after the desired end point, (I've tried from 5 seconds to 50 seconds) it always cuts off at the same point - a point before the end of the sentence. Has anyone come across this before?
Also, while I'm here, can anyone tell me what is the most effficient format to use audio in Soundtrack Pro? just that .mp3 takes a long time to decompress when opening. Of course it depends on the length of the audio but I was wondering if there is anything quicker?

Your format choice might be part of the problem . . . and, you're doing alot of compressing along the way which will deteriorate audio quality.
First, I would transcode the wma's to aiff's using 44,000, 16 bit, stereo. Then bring those into Soundtrack. You'll immediately solve your decomression issue and things should go much faster.
Again, this might help the other issue, but I'm not sure. You'll certainly wind up with better quality audio.

Music cut-off problem of iPhone 4S & Sony bluetooth earphone XBA-BT75 in iOS 5

Does anybody have the same device and issue as mine?
I'm using iPhone 4S and Sony bluetooth earphone XBA-BT75. They were a perfect pairing in iOS 5.
But I noticed irregular music jittering or something as soon as I updated to iOS 6.
It's interrupted like bluetooth 2.1 or lower. I can't even hear the whole one song comfortably!
Do I have to sit down calmly and put the iPhone right beside my receiver?
(XBA-BT75 could receive without cut-off through a fire front door in iOS 5.)
If this issue is caused by bluetooth 4.0 of iOS 6, please give us a solution. The device supports bluetooth 3.0.
Of course I'll also report this problem to Sony.
I never go anywhere without music...Please don't frustrate me any more, Apple.
P.S.
It's only my opinion but it seems to happen more often when Wi-Fi is activated.

Thank you very much for your answer, diesel vdub.
Of course I paired them again..I've already tried everything that you suggest.
So I had to visit here. (sigh-)
Anyway I didn't know my iPhone had already had bluetooth 4.0.
Thank you for giving me the information. That means bluetooth 4.0 isn't the cause of the problem but it's true that bluetooth users have got similar issues at this version compared to old version.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4318307
I think this is not an issue of the specific receiver.
I need to know how to fix this problem whatever it caused.

HP dv8225nr Audio Choppy/Broken Off Problems

The audio on my laptop is horribly choppy and EXTREMELY obnoxious. It is not right. I did a system recovery and the audio fixed it self but then the problems came back in about a week. Does anyone know why. I have tried external speakers but the sound still is choppy and horrible. I'd love some help thanx

Hi,
This issue happens most probably due to Corrupted Video Card Drivers.
Right click on Desktop, click Screen Resolution, set the Screen Resolution Slider to Maximum, click Apply/Ok.
Check if you are able to play Videos fine. If it does not work.
1. Click Start, type: DEVMGMT.MSC in Search Field and Press Enter. It opens Device Maanger Window.
2. Go to 'Display Adapters' category, and expand it. Right click on Display Driver entry, and click uninstall.
3. Click Start->All Programs->Recovery Manager->Click Hardware Driver installation.
Select Video Card Driver entry, and click Install.
Restart the PC, and check of the issue has fixed.
Thank You.

Beginning of audio cut off

I am having issues with several tutorials I am developing.
Not every slide, but many have a narration. There is plenty of room
at the front of the audio (silence) and I have even tried moving
the audio down the timeline a second or so, yet when I publish it
and preview it, some frames the first few seconds of the audio is
cut off. Sometimes if I hit the "previous" frame button, it plays
fine the second time around, but not always. Some of these .cp's
are 100 frames or so, could that be the problem. Thanks in advance.
PS. Ive been doing this for years for a living, usually use
Flash, was working for General Dynamics, I normally would stay away
from such large movies, nothing but trouble. But this is how the
client wants them.

Hello kcore66,
Would it be possible for you to upload one of the files in
question so that I can take a look. In Captivate 1.01 there is an
intermittent problem where sometimes the audio is either cut off or
just doesn't play when you publish / preview. To get around this
simply moving the audio object back and forth along the timeline
and then positioning it back in it's original position works 9
times out of 10.

Timing goes out and audio cuts off at end of published slide sequence

Hi
I am experiencing a problem with timing and the sound cutting off at the end of a slide sequence.
Here is my work flow:
I record what I want my slide show to say, add my music and sound effects in Soundbooth. I then create a mp3 file for my slide show.
I adjust my slide show timing to match my voice over, ensuring that the total number of minutes and seconds the slide show equates to matches the length of my audio. I then import my audio into my project while maintaining the slide timing.
If I preview the individual slides to match the timing of the arrival of words or pointers in my presentation by pressing the play button in Captivate, everything is great.... until I publish to a .swf file.
On a 2m:50sec slide show of 22 slides it cuts off approximately 5 seconds before the end. My timing which I have bent my brain on getting right, is out and appears to worsen the longer the slide show is or if it is not on the latest and greatest Mac powered computer.
I have gone so far as to increase the length of time on the last slide 5 seconds beyond the length of time that the audio occupies as well as adding another 5 seccond blank slide and still have the same cut off problem. No ideas how to help the poor souls who might not have an amazing computer to watch the demonstration on?
Interestingly if I publish and look only at the last 3 slides or if I look at a short sequence of slides or at a slide in isolation, my audio is there as it should be along with the timing. It would appear that the time "lost" or a lag between the presentation and the audio is the culprit.
Kindly advise if there is a solution to this or whether the problem lies with something I am doing.
Thank you in advance

Has there been any new developments on this problem?
I've been having to do some crazy work arounds to avoid audio cutting off at the end of slides when using CP5 for development.
Then this week I had to review an old training which was published a long time ago only to discover that the same issue of audio cutting off is happening there.
These materials were developed using CP4 and some even with CP3. This means that the problem/change is not CP5 but probably something to do with the Flash player version because at the time of publshing the older files did not have this issue.
This has me really worried. There is no way I can go back and update all the old files and it means that previously perfect materials are now being viewed with audio cutting off.
Have the Adobe Captivate developers considered the possiblity that this may be a flash player issue? Have you discussed this with the Adobe Flash developers? Will there be a fix for this anytime soon?
Thanks,
Aimee

Beginning of audio cut off when using digital optical out

Hi all,
This is my first post here since switching to Mac earlier this year.
I'm having problems with the first second or so of audio being cut off when commencing playback using the Mac's digital optical out. This happens with any source of audio in a variety of different applications (e.g. video, iTunes, even system sounds for notifications and the like). I have used a mini Toslink to Toslink optical cable to connect from the Mac's audio out jack to the receiver of my digital speakers (Logitech Z906). Once playback has commenced, audio plays fine; it's just the very first second or so which is usually clipped.
The problem does NOT happen when using the built-in speakers. I've also noticed that if I unplug the cable from the receiver end (leaving it connected at the Mac end) I can see the red LED light shining the optical signal down the cable, but this goes out exactly 30 seconds after audio stops playing. If I start another audio playback within 30 seconds, there is no loss of audio at the beginning, but if I wait longer than 30 seconds (i.e. after the LED has gone out) I encounter the problems with the initial audio being clipped. I therefore suspect that this is an OS issue which is shutting down the digital optical out when audio is not actually playing (presumably to save power or something). I wouldn't have a problem with this if it actually worked properly when audio playback recommences, but it seems that there is a slight delay whilst the optical out service 'wakes up' again and this is leading to the clipped audio.
I've done some searching of the internet (and these support communities) for this problem and there seems to be little information about it. It does seem to affect a few other people though and some have resorted to third party applications or scripts which play silent audio at regular intervals to keep the optical output running permanently (e.g. SoundStay (https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/39833/soundstay) - no longer maintained and the download link is dead). However, these amount to a kludge at best which treat the symptoms rather than the underlying cause, which I would rather resolve.
I tried to log a support case with Apple in order to have them call me, only to have the system tell me that my support has already expired, despite having purchased the Mac only 4 months ago. It seems that my Apple One-Year Limited Warranty is actually only 90 days when it comes to telephone support. So here I am!
Does anyone else have this problem with optical out, and how can I resolve this? Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you.

Captivate cuts off the end of text to speech audio sequences

Hi there,
I have a problem Captivates TTS audio. When I use the F3 key to check the audio sequence, everything sounds normal.
However, after publishing the entire course as an .exe file some audio sequences are cut off at the end, e.g. using the following text “ear-phones are needed”, in the published version Paul only says “Ear-phones are NEED”.
First, I thought that the end of the audio was too close to the end of the slide. Therefore, I made sure that every slides duration was longer than the audio. But it didn’t make a difference.
Has anyone experienced this before and knows how to help?
Your help is appreciated!
I use Captivate 5, but also had this problem in version 4...

Hello There,
Can you try the steps mentioned in http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/04/vtml_tags_in_text_to_speech_1.html? Adding this VTML tag should be resolving the issue. Please let me know.
Thanks,

Captivate 5: Audio is cut-off at the end of the published file

Hi,
I'm using Captivate 5. I published my projects to Flash 10 (SWF/HTM) format and the audio is always cut-off at the end. For example, if my last slide has this audio "Thank you for time and have a good day.", what you will hear is only "Thank you for your ti" or "Thank you for your time and have". This only happens on the published file. The audio is not cut-off when you preview the project.
Here are additional observations:
-> If I published with playback controls, the audio is cut-off the first time i view the output; however, the second time I view the output or if I drag the playhead, the audio is no longer cut-off. The timing of the elements (mouse, highlights, audio, etc.) is also way better when I view it the second time versus the first time.
-> If I published without playback controls, the audio is always cut-off no matter how many times I view the flash file.
-> I have tested publishing to Flash with different # of slides (10 slides, 50 slides, 100 slides) and the result is the same. So I don't think it has something to do with the number of slides.
> Note also that the last slide has enough audio to match the slide's length. So I don't know why it's cut-off.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Regards,
Rose

Audio cuts off in Encore CS3

Can anyone help me figure this out:
I imported an avi file into Encore CS3 as a timeline and created a continuous loop. When I play the DVD about half way through the audio just cuts off. I check the avi file and it's fine so I tried using Encore 1.5, and it burned just fine, the audio did not cut off. I tried a full re install and it still did the same thing. Any suggestions would help, thanks.

>DV type 1 with audio at 41k stero
Instead of 44.1KHz the audio should be 48KHz. And it would be safer to use a type 2 instead of a type 1 DV AVI format. If the Newtek Toaster can't write type 2 files you could use
DVdate
(free for personal use) to convert from 1 to 2.

Events Created in iCal get cut off Below the Screen

For the last few versions, iCal has had a problem with Event windows going below the screen; when this happens, users can no longer see what they are typing in the Event. I was able to duplicate this problem on every current Mac model in an Apple Store, so it is not a hardware issue, or an issue with screen size. Models tested include all MacBook Pros, Macbook, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac Pro with 24" Display, and Mac Pro with 30" Cinema Display. The problem was also reproduced by Apple Support.
I use a MacBook Pro 15" with a display resolution of 1440 x 900. All software is up to date. (Mac OS 10.6.1, and iCal 4.0, Build 1362). Here are the steps to reproduce the problem:
1) Set the System Preferences for the Dock to 'Automatically hide and show the Dock', to get it out of the way.
2) In iCal 'Month View', create a new Event in any day on the bottom row of the calendar.
3) The easiest way to duplicate the problem is to type about 7 lines of text in the 'note' section.
If more than 7 lines total (in Event Description and 'note' sections) are entered, the bottom of the Event pop-up window goes below the screen and is obscured. This means that if you are typing something in the 'note' section, you cannot see what you are typing. Also, the 'Done' button can no longer be accessed when you are finished.
NOTE: When you leave the Event, then come back to edit it again, the window often moves up, eliminating the cut-off problem, but this does not always happen.
Here are the two problems that need to be fixed in order for the user to be able to view what is being typed, and to access the 'Done' button when finished:
1) The Event Description window (at the top of the Event) currently will stop moving the bottom down after typing 4 lines, and then begins to scroll upward, in order to save space. However, at this point, the 'Done' button has already disappeared below the screen. This needs to changed so that the 'Done' button never goes below the bottom edge of the screen.
2) When typing in the 'note' window of the Event, a vertical bar eventually appears on the right, but only after the bottom lines of text have disappeared below the screen. The data ABOVE the note window begins to scroll up, but the bottom area of the note remains obscured, so users cannot see what they are typing. Moving the bar up and down still does not let users see what they are typing below the screen. The 'note' window needs to be changed to scroll like the Event Description window does, and not have the 'Done' button go below the bottom edge of the screen.
NOTE: A similar problem happens in Day View and Week View, when listed Events start going below the bottom edge of the screen. They do not scroll either, and everything past a certain point cannot be viewed. Scrolling would solve this problem as well. In the absence of scrolling, the only way around that problem currently, is to cut Events from that day and paste them into another day. Then you can see the rest of the Events.
So, anyone else out there notice these problems or have an explanation for them?

Icon Text Cutting Off

I have just reinstalled tiger on my laptop and the icons sometimes act strangely in that the icons with a single line of text beneath, usually appear normal, though sometimes the bottom of the text is cut off. When I select the icons, and the coloured background that indicates that it is selected appears behind the text, the bottom of the coloured background/shape is also cut off. On the icons (folders,files) that have two lines of text, I can sometimes see the tops of some of the bottom line letters poking up through the cut off line, again when selected the background is also cut off. Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks.

I had a file appear in my root directory as a result of using quake 3 arena 1.32 (or according to various posts in google groups in any case), which I then made invisible again so as to avoid accidentally damaging or deleting it. The file was "botlib.log" which I was informed of as an "empty log file" by the mac os x console utility. Perhaps this is connected to the cutting off problem?

Audio randomly cutting off on T410

I have a Thinkpad T410 and the audio randomly shuts on and off all the time. It never cuts off when there are headphones or speakers attached and when it does it can easily be turned on for a short period of time by hitting the volume button - sometimes up and sometimes it has to be the down. This makes me think it is some sort of software and not hardware or short in the computer. I have tried to reinstall all the audio and that doesn't work and have run several performance scans from Lenovo and diagnostic tools and nothing comes up. Any advice?

My speakers will kick back on if I press the mute button, either up or down volume, or click the mute bottom from the sound window.
The Hotkey software is made of the System Interface Drive (1.02)r, the On Screen Display (6.10.01), the Fullscreen Magnifier (2.15), and the Auto Scroll utility(1.0). I had a spare HD, so I installed it and used my Lenovo recovery disks to get my laptop back to the state from when I first got it. The versions for Hotkey are listed above. On my original HD, I updated to the latest Hotkey software and still had the problem.
I was originally thinking this was a software issue but now am leaning toward a hardware issue. I did have to send this laptop to Lenovo in May 2011 under warranty because the left speaker crackled and went out. It worked fine when it came back up until 3-4 months ago. I've ordered some new speakers from ebay and will install them to see if that fixes the problem. I found lots of hits from "W" thinkpad owners where the left speaker wire was placed on top of the heat sync and was being shorted out, but haven't seen any "T" owners reporting that.
I'll post an update after I replace the speakers.

External HP Pavilion 23xi monitor cuts off laptop audio

I want to use my HP Pavilion 23xi monitor as an external monitor for my laptop (Sony Vaio, Windows 7). The laptop only has an HDMI connection, so I used an HDMI cable to connect it. The HP monitor works fine, but when it is connected, it cuts off all audio output on the laptop. There is no sound from the internal speaker on the laptop, or from the headphone connection.
If the HDMI connection automatically takes over the audio output, surely there should be at least a headphone socket on the PC? I can't change the connection type, as the laptop only has HDMI for an external monitor. Is there any configuration change that will fix this?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
As you mentioned, the HDMI sound may take over sound, disable HDMI sound may help. Pleae try:
Right click the speaker icon
Select Playback devices
Right click HDMI sound and disable it
