The sound drop out during a movie

I am watching a rented movie and suddenly the sound cuts out, I rewind it works it gets to a point and no sound , to say this is frustrating is a understatement , is there a reason or a solution anyone can recommend

I rarely rent because my broadband is quite slow, but I have a lot of home brewed video I watch on the units.
A couple of my AppleTv's started having audio dropouts during playback but no video glitches of note - this was with software 2.2-2.4 mostly and early software 3.0.
I never really knew if it was an AppleTv hardware issue starting eg logic board problem, or due to a software issue, or network issue. It may even be a combination.
This then started happening with music playback or music videos.
My 3 yr old Netgear n router has become somewhat unstable in last 18 months or so hanging every couple of weeks and requiring power off and cooldown or it won't restart - some searching on the net suggested an overheating wireless circuit affecting it's functioning - I now usually disable the wireless functionality and it's miles better though maybe latest iTunes and AppleTv software help.
I use main powerline ethernet adapters by devolo which work very well.
I think either my router was a bit flaky or AppleTV has more general wireless issues in some set ups.
One of my AppleTV's has since failed, so it might be a symptom of impending hardware problem, who knows.
All I would say is that now they for the most part work well on powerline adapters with few audio or other glitches.

What version of OSX is on the older one?

I'm doing a simple edit and after editing clips for a while I am dropping sound. Why is the sound dropping out?

I'm doing a simple edit. The clips audio is fine when previewed or when in the time line. However, after editing for a while the audio is now dropping out. I have moments when just a frame or two drop our or even several seconds. What can I do to fix this without having to start over again? Thanks.

Thanks for the info.
To my third question, how are you exporting? For example, if you selected Export Media before you added the third party effects, I would expect that the export went pretty quickly. If that is what you did, open that file in QuickTime and hit command i to show the format of your exported movie.
Or perhaps your Share workflow was "send to Compressor"?
I don't have any experience Digital Hotcakes products. When you say "it worked" with the reception video, do you mean the same DHB effects you used in the multicam project? Was the reception video the same format as your multiclip?

46 minutes in movie all sound drops out

I am extremely frustrated, I have one on one and they could not help me. Please Help, for the last 4 weeks I have been trying to burn a 53 min video from FCS using I-movie 08 and 46 min into it the sound drops out. I have tried all the advise posted in the last Month.

Just a thought...how are you importing the movie into iDVD? If you are sending it from within iMovie, try importing it directly from within iDVD. Select 'Media' and then 'Movies' locate your movie and drag/drop it onto iDVD's main screen, being careful not to put it into a drop zone.
I also suggest that you recreate your iDVD project. I don't think the problem movie clips are corrupt because they worked in another iDVD project.

Why do the movies i have bought from itunes store the sound cuts out and glitches?

The sound cuts out of the movies I have bought. Can anyone tell me why?

You can't. Sorry. Encrypted movies in no way can be played back thru the VGA adapter.
You could do the following:
- get the Apple TV and stream the video to it. If you only have VGA input in your protector, get a HDMI -> VGA converter box. I use the one at http://www.dealextreme.com/p/hdmi-to-vga-video-converter-71816 for this purpose. It's pretty cool for the price - nevertheless, there're better models for more money; let me know if you need further recommendations on them. (Note that I haven't tested this unit with a direct HDMI output from the iPad yet. Will do it soon.)
- if the projector does have HDMI input, test it with the HDMI adapter. Hope the projector supports HDCP.

Hd movies play choppy and the sound is out of sync in iTunes

I'm getting choppy video playback and the sound is out of sync in iTunes any solutions?

Control panel

Under Playback tab, highlight each device and click Properties button
Go to Advanced tab and change Sample Rate to 16bit 48000hz (DVD Quality) or 96000hz (Studio Quality), OK n OK.

Airplay dropping out during music playback

Since all the software updates I have developed a very annoying problem between iTunes 10.5 on my Mac Mini (Snow Leopard) and my ATV2.
If I am streaming from iTunes to the ATV2 using airplay I will get audio dropping out during playback. It happens intermittently and randomly. The song keeps playing on iTunes, but ATV2 isn't getting the audio.
If I am pulling music or stored movies from iTunes the other way around (i.e. using the ATV2 menu) there is no problem. Everything works as expected, but of course I get no iTunes DJ and no crossfade between songs.
I did notice that when this problem happens the wireless light on my router stops flashing, so I am assuming that iTunes is not buffering it's airplay, or perhaps there is some kind of a network error. At first I thought it might be too many devices active on the router, but this is never more than 4 items at once, including the ATV2.
Anyone else with a similar problem?

I think you're correct that Airplay doesn't buffer ahead, if it does it's a tiny amount, whereas the whole song can buffer when you pull/play direct on AppleTV.
If you think about it too because you're applying effects in iTunes, crossfades etc these have to be processed not just played and I think itunes does this in real time rather than processing ahead of time in case you say adjust eq settings/volume etc. Also, the Airport/Airplay devices playing 'live' effectively allows multiroom playback with a degree of synchronisation.
The cutting out is to me a sign that data is not getting across the network as robustly now for some reason - I used to have terrible problems with cutting out streaming to an older Airport Express over wi-fi due to interefrence locally from microwaves, cordless landline phones etc. Of course something may have changed given all the software updates but you'd expect the stuttering in iTunes if it was a processing bug. If many others see the same could still be software related,but unless that's the case I'd say it's almost certainly the network. ANyrthing changed? New competing networks from neighbours?

Sound Drop Out When Attempting to Use Multiple Speakers

Disclaimer: I've spent 3-4 hours searching for the answer, so - I'm posting another "Sound Drop Out" thread.. sorry!
I have 1 new AirPort Extreme, and 3 Expresses. I can stream music to one at a time without much problem. As soon as I try to go to more than 1 the sound gets very, very choppy (this includes 1 airport express and the computer speakers).
My iTunes library is on a USB airport disk shared from the Extreme.
I see many posts about not being able to connect to multiple speakers with Leopard 10.5.1 (which I am using) - but I am not getting the error messages those people are seeing. Also, my firewall is configured correctly.
My network is well within 150ft. The extreme is creating a network, and all the expresses are configured to join the network. I thought of setting up a WDS network, but would this be worth the trouble (I am having problems getting it configured correctly)?
I doubt signal strength is a problem. If I can stream to the express alone, why cant I play to the express and the computer speakers simultaneously? That wouldn't have anything to do with the wireless network signal strength?
Looking forward to your suggestions. I'm spending way too much time getting this to work. Apple is supposed to "just work" -right? LOL.

I think this has to do with the airport scanning for different networks. I have 2 airport express stations hooked up in different rooms, and the speakers drop out all the time. It *****.
But when I watch the airport on my laptop (streaming the music), the time counter next to the airport icon goes away momentarily. I think it's somehow disconnected from the network, or is scanning networks.
There are a number of posts regarding the airport constantly scanning networks, but I haven't found anything yet that helps keep the airport connected. It definitely seems to be worse in the evenings when a lot of people are using their computers.
When your speakers drop out, do the numbers next to the airport icon (on the serving computer) freeze or disappear?

Audio drops out of burned movie

Hey all.. I've burned a DVD twice now, and the audio is dropping out silent at the same point 3 minutes before the end of a 90 minute movie... the QT movie (H264) is fine, but when encoded in iDVD, i get the audio dropping out completely.
Anyone see this before?

I've seen audio drop/s before on an iDVD that exceeds 99 images.....yes.
(but not normally at the very tail end of the DVD). I've also seen audio drop and/or out of sync audio when not using the recommended 16 bit audio. Sometimes people forget that iMovie & iDVD works best with 16 bit and NOT so well with 12 bit audio.
Let me know if any of these are useful:

Sound Cuts Out During Playback-Sound Card/Audio Interface Necessary?-

I'm a voiceover artist with the following setup:
Sennheiser MKH 416 P48 U3 Microphone
Yamaha HS80M Reference Monitors
Mackie Onyx-i 1220 Mixer
Adobe Audition CS6
Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop (Intel Core2 Duo, CPU T5750 @ 2GHz, 32-bit)
Until recently, I could hear anything I recorded or pre-recorded items with no issues. However, now, as I listen to anything, the sound 'cuts out' (latency issues?). The meters on Audition will still be moving, but I'll get no sound from my monitors. I upgraded to Windows 7, hoping and thinking this would solve the issue, and that Audition would play nicely with Windows 7. This 'solution' seemed to have helped, but ultimately, it did not resolve my issue. At this point, I believe it's my sound card. My studio quality setup seems to be too much for my consumer grade sound card. Because my Mackie has an interface built into it, I did not believe that I needed an interface. However, I'm beginning to question that. So, that's part of my question. Is an audio interface necessary for me even though I have one built into my Mackie? If so, based on what I list for my system, does anyone have any recommendations for interfaces? If I do not need an interface, I'd appreciate any suggestions or ideas as to what's causing the sound to 'cut out' and how to resolve it. Any and all help, I thank you for it in advance!
E

Finally! I wrote a reply a few hours back but the fine folks at Adobe took the site down just before I hit send! Lucky I saved it elsewhere because the "recovered post" was only the first couple of paragraphs.
Anyhow, take 2.
Well, first off, your Mackie Onyx mixer has a firewire interface built in so it, in effect, becomes your sound card. The one in your computer isn't involved in the recording/playback process at all (at least not unless you're trying to do something like monitor via the computer card rather than the mixer). Therefore, buying another sound card/interface won't help at all.
Similarly, audio dropouts aren't a latency issue, at least not directly. Latency is the delay in the audio as it does the round trip via you sound interface (mixer) and computer. It's more of an issue for musicians trying to be beat accurate as they over dub tracks. However, the latency controls could be affecting your drop out problem. The latency control in Audition is effectively controlling the buffer size--and having a larger buffer (which increases latency) also gives you playback more protection against glitches when your computer gets busy doing something else. So...the first thing to try is increasing the latency/buffer size on the Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware menu.
Another thing to check is that you're using the latest drivers from Mackie--check their site and download/install the latest if there are some available. If there's a choice, go for ASIO drivers rather than MME if there are some available.
Also, I mentioned your computer getting busy with other things--for serious sound work shut down everything else on your computer. Pay special attention to networking, wifi, and anti virus software, all of which are usualy prioritised to grab processor cycles over your sound work. Also make sure you shut down all system sounds.
Hope at least one of these suggestions works for you.

The cover of the case dropped out of hands at installation.

Sorry for wrong english. When clothing cover on the computer case the roof dropped out of hands and, probably, touched elements on a motherboard.
There quite small radioelements therefore with the naked eye it wasn't succeeded to define were located, whether something came off there. Such question: if something flew away, it will be noticeable right after turning on of the computer or can be expressed in deterioration of work of a motherboard (for example, qualities of a sound)?

I don't see any visible damage even though most of your pictures are out of focus and not very clear.
I compared your pictures to other picture of the same MB and yours is the same so any parts that appear to be missing were never there to begin with. The empty contact pads came from the factory like that so there is no problem in that respect.
I stand by that conclusion and same as what bb2k says.
Good pictures 2nd time by the way, no damage what so ever can be seen.

If you're having performance issues then start a new topic regarding that. List your components you have installed, refer to my signature below for example of what to list and then describe the problem(s) you have. So far you have shown no damage to MB that could be causing any problems. If you suspect any other small components on the MB that you think might be damage then post pictures of them.

Toshiba 32WLT68 Sound Drop-Out

Sound drops - out on load explosions on action films then returns seconds later - no good if your watching Transformers or any new block buster. Could it be setting that I can fix I don't want to play with the Firmware or is my sound card on the way out? TV cost £1300 6 years ago shame to take to the dump ... any help would be grateful
