The Audio randomly stops working for no reason.

Half way through the finished video, the audio just cuts out and sometimes plays the audio from other videos over it.
I've tried making a completely new video, but it does exactly the same thing. What is wrong?

I plug in my headset and if i press  the mute mic button, a blue light comes on telling me that headset "is" working. I can press this as much as I want, the blue light will just go on and off. all good.
I then go to speaker button on taskbar and set HP headset as default. If I had left the mutemic on, the light will now go out. no sound will play from my speakers.
When I click "► Test"
an Error! message appears saying "Failed to play test tone."
My headset has worked previously and sometimes it does work. My efforts to fix the problem seem to be futile and it is a random chance that it will work.
I have tried every USB port on my PC, I have tried updating but it says "The best driver  software for your device is already installed"
As I was typing this I decided to plug it into all my USB ports again and uninstall it from any that do not work, then reboot my PC and try reinstalling it.
While doing this, I encountered this message from Device Manager "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" Updating the driver did not help so I will be uninstalling it from that port.
For one of the USB ports, the first time I tested it, it seemed crackly, I tested it again and the test tone suddenly fails to play.
After restarting, I plugged my headset into my favourite USB port and tested "Failed to play test tone."
I plugged it into the next one down. Crackly noises ensued so I ran the test once more. "Failed to play test tone."
I have got it working in one so I will leave it at that until it that ones stops. The USB port which it works in, was one that it worked in before uninstalling and rebooting.
My problem still remains so if I could have any help, that would be great.
also I am still under warranty so what can I do about that?

    Michael,
    The link for the word 'HERE' directs to a Evergreen School District page, which outside of Mobile Me and/or Aperture. Your school district network might be intercepting the request from Aperture and displaying the 'network authentication page' that you see, instead of the email. I would get with the IT department to see if they can help you get around this.
    Have you also tried using the 'Tell a Friend' feature from another network location, like starbucks or your home?

  • Qosmio X500: power adapter stopped working for no reason

    Hi,
    Now i have my Qosmio X500 for a year and i like it, however i have small problems with it, and i would like to know if it can be problematic.
    The first thing is that my power adapter stopped working for no reason,
    So i bought a new one, but it always made some noise when the laptop was fully charged.
    I know people with the same laptop and their adapter didn't make that sizzling noise, it looks like it was already defect from the begin.
    Then i have one dead pixel in the middle of my screen, no problem for me.
    Finally my screen is a bit loose from the laptop, when i close it, i can move it, it always seems like it's not on it's correct place, because when i close it normally it's not 100% horizontal...
    Also when i replace my screen, my speakers make crackling noises and my webcam stops working.
    So all those problems i have annoy me, especially the last one (webcam and speakers problem), can this fit in the warranty of the laptop? I did extend the warranty for one year...
    Thanks in advance.

    > The first thing is that my power adapter stopped working for no reason,

    I think this is AC adaptor fault maybe a broken cable or something like that I would recommend you to replace this get in contact with the dealer and ask for the new one.
    > Then i have one dead pixel in the middle of my screen, no problem for me.
    I found a info about such issues:
    +Information on screen technology and pixel failure tolerance for LCD displays

    Maybe you should ask Toshiba notebook technicians for a check maybe some screws or the hinges are loose.
    The speakers should be checked with connected headphones. If you will not notice the same crackling sound using headphones, then the issue might be related to speakers

  • Audio randomly stopped working

    The sound on my computer randomly stopped working yesterday. I think it happened when I installed wine, but I'm not sure...I use alsa and it worked before. I tried rebooting a few times and reinstalling alsa, which didn't help. I did unmute in alsamixer, so that should be ok. From lspci:
    00:08.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP79 High Definition Audio (rev b1)
    I don't know what other information is necessary, so please tell me what other info would help figure out the problem. I don't see how wine would affect the audio as I had it installed before and the sound worked, I uninstalled for a while to attempt to get rid of left over menu items of uninstalled Windows programs which didnt work but thats not really a problem. I installed Wine again and I have problems this time. I've tried to get sound from my laptop speakers and headphones and through audacious and youtube, and nothing worked. I looked at the alsa page on the wiki, under https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Al … on_Startup but that is only for people who have multiple sound cards, which I don't (as far as I know lol). Audio is fairly important for me (not vital but still... ) so please help. I probably didn't supply enough information, so tell me if there are any log files I should post or something. I looked through /var/log but didn't see any files looked like they would have something to do with sound/alsa. Thanks

    No errors, but only the first test, pcm0 worked. Everything else only gave silence. That didn't help really because audacious/youtube doesnt play either. So I guess it isn't alsa specifice, and therefore isn't wine's fault. (I think?)
    It is normal that you only get audio from "HD Audio play front" unless you have a 5.1 setup, so oss works as expected.

  • Audio randomly stops working

    My mac mini's (OSX 10.5.8) audio always stops suddenly to work, either if I'm watching a video on youtube, playing the iPod connected to the computer or listening to music on iTunes. Both the speakers and the built-in audio output stop working.
    I have to plug out and in the speakers, pause and play the music, give it a break (haven't figured out the exact ritual yet), and then after a while it comes back to life.
    What should I do to get it back to normal?
    Thanks,
    Rodrigo

    Hi Rodrigo,
    Long shot, but next time it happens...
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

  • Proxy Stops working for no reason, recreating with the wizard works fine

    For no reason I will start getting the following error:
    06/08/29 11:10:37 Caused by: HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: Connection timed out: connect
    I will then create a new proxy using the wizard and it will work fine the first time. Does anyone know what is going on here? I have the preference for Web Browser proxy turned off
    Here is my info:
    JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4
    Web Services 1.4 RPC-Literal (probably should be RPC-Encoded)

    Not sure if this is the problem but the proxy is working now. It seems that when the WSDL created by the wizard hardcodes the ip address of the local machine into the soap address. Then when you create the proxy using that wizard it uses the same hardcoded ip address. So when you plug into another network get another ip address it won't work. So to make it work I changed both the webservice address and endpoint to use localhost.
    I'm new to the web services stuff so I'm looking for someone to validate this theory.
    Thanks,
    Dan

  • Audio randomly stops working while watching videos

    For the past 3-4 days when I've been watching Netflix, Youtube and other video sites, the sound will randomly turn off while the video still plays. I went to preferences and my input and output have the built in internal speakers seleceted and says they work just fine. There is also no light coming from my headphone jack so it is not that problem as well. I have also tried rebooting it. The only solution I have is pausing the video and then playing again, but this only works for a few minuets before it happens again. My macbook pro is running on 10.6.8 if that helps. Any advice is appreciated.

    Have you tried playing a sound directly with aplay?
    aplay -D SB /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*.wav
    #or
    aplay -D plug:SB /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*.wav
    Edit:
    Do you have any Auto-Mute options on that card? Check alsamixer.
    All Automute options have been disabled. Keep in mind that the sound does work for about an hour or two of playing audio, but then just stops. I don't think this is a problem with the card order or selection of the device or anything, but rather a problem with the driver or something like the buffer size which you mentioned. It could also be because of some random program, but that shouldn't be the case since I don't have any unusual audio-related things installed. I have already tried playing sound via aplay, and it does not work. When the sound is fully working, I can play things with aplay just fine without any extra options. When it stops, then aplay doesn't work either.

  • Itunes stops working for no reason

    recently itunes just stops working every now and then for no reason. I only use it to listen to my music and didn't change any settings at all. then last week i updated it to the newest version, which i thought would put an end to this. but it still keeps happening.
    i have no clue at all.
    ps. i'm using a windows 7 home edition 64 bit os and have been for a year. didn't have this problem until very recent.
    any help is appreciated

    1.  In iTunes - go to - HELP - DIagnostics
    If that does not fix the problem, I would suggest that you do a complete uninstall and reinstall. 
    To to your Control Panel and remove all Apple programs - sort by Publisher:
    uninstall:  Bonjour, Quicktime, iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Service Device, Apple Software Update
    Restart your PC
    Go to Apple - iTunes and download (if you are running Windows 64 bit - look for the link in the text for the link for the proper iTunes installation
    This should give you a clean installation.

  • Personal Hot-spot has stopped working for no reason

    I had a perfectly functional Person Hotspot (data tethering) feature with my Vodafone UK connection, and the data tethering plan I had enrolled proved more economical than those regular USB dongles. Recently, I upgraded my vodafone plan to allow for a higher usage - and somehow the person Hotspot just stopped working. Every time I navigate to the Personal Hotspot Button, the tab - which used to read 'Enable Personal Hotspot ON/OFF' - now reads 'Setup Personal Hotspot'. When I click on the link, it directs me to a Vodafone Iphone Advertisement page.
    I contacted Vodafone officials, even personally visited their store and got a confirmation that the data tethering plan is active, and there should be no problem with my iphone's data tethering capability. The best advise they could suggest was to backup and restore the Iphone using Itunes. Well - I tried that as well, and still the problem persists.
    Has anyone faced this problem before? Can anyone help - where exactly can I reset the Hotspot settings, or even enter it manually to get it working? I've tried backup and restore, reset cellular data network, Disable and re-enable 3G,  ejecting and re-inserting Vodafone SIM........  The hotspot was a wonderful feature, would love to get it back.........!!
    Thanks!

    Thanks Dodie.  My personal hotspot just stopped working.  I use it all the time and it was driving me crazy having to connect via usb.
    I have used the reset before and forgot all about it.
    Simple fix, get it got it, good !

  • ITUNES will not open and the msconfig trick stopped working for me.

    I was doing that every time i needed to use itunes but its like the two startup items found a way to be on right when i startup now. one is xhwx and the other is wiqwyx. they are just waiting for me now. what should i do. im running a spyware scan atm and seeing if that helps but i would love to solve this problem.

    hi Chris!
    one is xhwx and the other is wiqwyx
    yuck. there's a version of Qoologic adware out there that has been dropping start-up items with randomly-generated-4-and-6-letter names into people's PCs, and has been causing "error-less" itunes launch failures since (at least) late October. the MSCONFIG trick actually only gives you temporary relief from that particular problem.
    getting rid of it can be a trial. it seems to be slipping beneath the radar of most commercial antispyware applications at the moment (although i've seen one report that suggests Webroot SpySweeper might be picking it up nowadays).
    still, it's probably worth downloading some fresh definitions and seeing if your antispyware product has caught up with it yet.
    if that's still not getting rid of it, you could try "submitting" a copy of the beast to your security software provider. (how you go about doing that will depend on the package that you're using. see the manufacturer's website for information.)
    Dave's "manual" removal method has been working for some people:
    http://mysite.verizon.net/dbjcgj/id1.html
    ... and there's always the option of visiting a malware removal help forum to ask for advice. there's a list of Help Forums at the end of this document (there are others out there too):

  • My iphone 5s screen has stopped  working for no reason at all? how can i fix this?

    I was using it fine then locked it and tried to use it 5 minutes later and it stopped working? any ways to fix this or do i have to go onto an apple store?

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

  • Help! Safari Autofill stopped working for no reason.

    My Safari autofill has suddenly stopped working. It used to be that when a form came up on safari I could start filling it out and hit tab and it would fill in the entire form. Now it looks like it might fill in that line, but if I hit tab it doesn';t even complete the line that is highlighted. I think this started to happen after I did the latest OS X software update -- I am now running 10.4.11. I checked autofill on safari and it seems to have all the appropriate boxes checked. And if I go to the pull down menu and pull down edit and do autofill forms, it will do it. But why won't it do it using tab any more?
