Touchsmart 600 popping sound during music playback

dear all,
i have a very new touchsmart 600-1036D running windows 7 and realtek HD audio card with internal speakers.
I realised that when i am playing music either with WMP or Itunes 64bit, and at the same time when i am surfing or working on a excel sheet/word or something like that, there is a cracking popping sound (like the sound u hear when u plug a 3.5mm head into a jack). The sound only comes on when i am clicking something or launching another program or moving my mouse..
basically if is only the music playing, the music plays well and nice, but when the PC has to do someting else, the popping sound comes.
I have reinstall and update the audio driver, done all diagnostics tests as instructed by HP. but still cannot resolve.
The sound is audible via my headphones as well.
Any idea how to solve this? totally irritating.

May I refer you to the following link in this forum. It sounds like you are having the same problem as a lot of other consumers that have bought this product including myself. The subject " Touchsmart 600xt Audio Performance " is on page 2 .

N70-ME, scree flicker during music playback

Hi,
I noticed that the screen flickers (with some white banding lasting few milliseconds, every few seconds) during music playback (128kbps AAC). Is it because the processor is too slow, or is there a known software glitch ?
thanks,
bd

Is this happening in iTunes or on the iPod?
If iTunes, can you open the same song in QuickTime and does it pop and click also?
I don't know the apple contact stuff, it's posted around here somewhere though.

Clicking noise during music playback

During music playback on my iphone 3G I get a faint continuous clicking noise in the background, its just audiable over the music and really gets on my nerves. I've tried my iphone with several different types of ear phones, apple and non-apple but its always there, on every song I play.
I have also listened to tracks from the macbook through itunes to see if the sound is on the track but the music plays through nice and clear from my macbook.
Has anyone else had this problem? Has anyone got any ideas about how to fix it?
Sam

Hi Sam,
Are you seeing this issue with tracks purchased from the iTunes Store or with tracks imported from CD?
Try testing with FREE on iTunes content> go to iTunes Store> FREE on iTunes near the bottom center of the page.
If the issue happens with music purchased from the iTunes Store try restoring the iPhone.

If its only happening with content imported from CD or sources other than the iTunes Store, try importing the tracks again or converting them in iTunes.

IPod freezes randomly for a few secs during music playback

Hi,
My 'iPod Classic 160' is playing up of late.
It started a few months ago. During music playback, it would freeze for a 'fraction' of a second randomly but as time has gone on, it freezes for up to 5 secs now. I've used iTunes to 'restore' my iPod and have the latest firmware updates, but still the same problem. I use MP4 for music.

- Running XP
- All other system sounds work

After 1.1.1 update: iPod locks the phone during music playback

My iPhone gets locked during music playback. It worked fine during the the first few hours after the upgrade but now it stalls or locks up completely. Anyone else experiencing the same?

First, for safety, do a quick diagnostic of the iPod.
You can do this by starting a sync as usual with iTunes, then enabling Disk Use. Now, go to Utilities/Disk Utility on your desktop, and perform a diagnostic - it should take only a few seconds. Now, go back onto iTunes and Disable Disk Use (so you can take your cable out).
As long as you have the iTunes desktop up, click Check for Updates, and then Update. (They update thee software every month.)

No sound during title playback

hi i'm wondering if sum of you guys could help me out. ive just got my first mac and im very pleased
i am trying to burn 3/4 episodes of a tv show that i have in .avi container, mp4 format, each aprox 350mb in size, to dvd format with the abillity to select which of the 3 episode i would like to watch. i am not fussed about glitz and glamour with regards to menus, just quality audio and video.
i use ffmpgx for single movies
i have previously used vso convertx to dvd with great results on a pc, but is not supported on mac.
i have downloaded a divx component for quicktime, and also have vlc installed
i have tried to burn the episodes using idvd, and all seemed to be going well, having set the preferences to allow for the img size needed. i left the dvd to encode over night and had it set to make an img file.
when i tried playing back the img i had great video quality, but no sound what so ever, and cannot for the life of me figure out why.
does anybody no the cause?
to recap,
avi container-(according to ffmpegx summary, video= mpeg4, yuv420p, 624x352)
audio= mp3, 48000 Hz, stereo, 32 kb/s
burned using idvd
menu music is present
no sound during playback of titles
burn setting to x1/2
taiyo yuden dvd-r disc
1gb ram
200+gb hard drive
2gig intel core 2 duo
minimal programmes running
on another note, while on a pc i was using a program called gspot for determining the required video and audio codes required and whether or not it would render/play on the system. is there anything similar for mac?
cheers for any and all help

Hi!
Welcome to the discussions and to Macs!
Don't know about your specifics, but a simple thing to test is to look at the iDVD menu for the titles....I am assuming this is on a submenu....to see if the audio icon is active. If you look in the audio well, there should be a tiny icon with wavy lines. If it is not present, click on the audio well and it should return. It is very small...I almost could not see it.
You cannot see this if you have any audio files in the well, so remove the file first.
I am sure more knowledgeable users will offer their advice as well.

Bluetooth Buzz during music playback - iPhone 6

I am using an iPhone 6 - paired to a pioneer FH-X720BT car stereo. About 5 minutes after bluetooth music playback starts I get a very loud buzz for about 5 seconds. A moment after this all sound stops for a second. Then music resumes. This does not repeat until the stereo is turned off and then on again. Anyone have a suggestion on how to fix it. Is it a Pioneer stereo problem or is it an iPhone 6 problem? I have not had the same problem with an older iPhone 4s.

Same issue here with iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.3 and now with iOS 8.2. New Pioneer DEH6700BS. Took back to shop and had new deck replaced - SAME ISSUE. Mine is around 7:30 minute and same drop out right after that as you are seeing. I have tested with iPod Touch and my son's iPhone 5C and I don't get this issue despite multiple testing scenarios. Looks like the common denominator is the iPhone 6.

Ipod touch 1st generation stutters during music playback

My ipod touch running 2.2.1 (5H11) which has always had updates etc kept up, has recently started stuttering during song playback. I have reset a couple of times and it plays fine for one song and starts all over again. Any thoughts?

I am continuing to have problems with getting my ipod touch restored. I am following the directions on the faq's but it seems that my touch continues to freeze up during the restoring nprocess. Itunes continues to sync, but the ipod screen remains unchanged.

Fluctuating audio output level during music playback on iPhone 6

Hi,
When playing music on my iPhone 6 the volume level of the music suddenly drops sometimes and takes ages to go back to the original level. It doesn't matter whether I'm listening to music through my headphones, or when docked to a speaker or via airplay: the problem eventually happens (usually within 5mins). I've tried a factory reset, and I've tried a settings reset but neither of them worked. All I can think of at the moment is that there is an application running in the background that is interfering with music playback. Will try each one in turn and report back. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I have three other iOS8 devices (various iPad mini models) where this problem does not occur.
Thanks and regards, Keri
P. S. This problem happened with iOS8 before upgrading to 8.1.2.

"How would I know which all apps render audio? Any shortcut to find out?"
No shortcut. You have to see whether they play audio or not. That simple. For example, Skype does.

Notifications during music playback

Question -
When playing music back through iPhone (iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4), I keep getting notifications - which makes the sound fade in and out.
This didn't happen in iOS 6 and earlier - so I imagine its a notificaiton 'feature' - what's the best way to cancel this 'feature'?
I don't really want to turn off mail, text, etc notificatons...
Do I really have to go into Do Not Disturb mode in order to NOT receive notifications while listeneing to music, or is there an easier way?
Putting the phone on silence doesn't stop music from fading in and out...
Thanks for any ideas...

Just to confirm same problem with Itunes. Mediamonkey and Mediaplayer play without any disturbing clicks through speakers...yes it drives you mad.
It occurred after I got a replacement for my bluetooth K/b and mouse. Now I have logitech MX5000 installed with s/ware Setpiont 3.15c.
I disconnected bluetooth during playback Itunes to find out if there was interference of some kind but still crackles and clicks. Ran repair install for Itunes but no positive change. Anybody any suggestions to release us from this problem?
regards Mike

How do I reduce slideshow sound during video playback in iPhoto.

Hi all.
The quick slideshow in iPhoto 09 is fantastic! The combination of pictures and videos blending into each other works very well.
...with one exception. When showing a video with sound the selected background music for the slideshow still plays - at a reduced volume. This reduced backgroundvolume is often not reduced enough and it interfers and destroys the experience of the video clip. I would like to find an option for reducing the backgroundmusic even further or maybe mute it during the video playback. But as soon as next pictures are shown the backgroundmusic should return again.
A very technical solution eg changing / "hacking" iPhoto files would be fine also.
Best regds
Jesper

That can't be done. Send in a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
If you're saving the movie as a QT file for use elsewhere and have access to iMovie HD 6 you can do that very easy. Create the movie without added music, export to Quicktime, import into iMovie HD 6 and add the music tracks as desired.

You will have lots of control over the sound this way.

Brief periods of silence during music playback

Hi folks,
I have an iPhone4 with iOS7.0.4 installed. Occasionally, during playback of music using the inbuilt music player, some songs will have brief periods of silence in them. It generally lasts for maybe a second? I've only started experiencing this since upgrading to iOS7.
If I 'rewind' the song and play that section again, the period of silence occurs again, in the same place.
If I reboot the phone and play the same song, the period of silence occurs again, in the same place.
If I play the song in iTunes on my computer (the one the phone is sync'd with), I don't get the pause.
If I play the song in another application on my computer, I don't get the pause.
What's going on here??

Screen Saver is only one method the Mac has to sleep, and it won't affect playback of iTunes. The other is Energy Saver. That is the setting you need to adjust.
