Trouble with audio dropping in and out?
I had this problem for ages.
Apple TV3 was connected to monitor via HDMI. Monitor audio out was connected to hifi system. The audio was dropping in and out. Fix was to go in the monitor settings and set the HDMI audio to 2.0
Hope this helps someone, as I couldn't find this info anywhere on the net.
an update, switched the G4 laptop out with a G5 tower, keeping the rest of the setup the same, and the music played fine. Switched back to my laptop and the music played choppy. Noticed the CPU was bouncing around quite a bit on the laptop while playing music and that is when the music would cut out. So must be my laptop? Weird as the laptop worked fine for years and that is when it only had 512MB RAM. I did just update the laptop to 10.5 from 10.4 so perhaps 10.5 is the problem?
However I am running Twonhy Media Server on the laptop to stream video from the same server the music is on. I stream it to a PS3 and it streams perfect.
I would seem that iTunes does not efficiently stream music via mounted servers?

I use a Canon VIXIA HFM41 camera with bluetooth WM-V1 mic and receiver. Audio drops in and out.
Trying to figure out why my audio kept dropping in and out while recording a 90 minute presentation this past weekend.
I just recorded 90 mins today in my office of a TV monitor screen and audio - no audio problems. Batteries were fresh and camera was fully charged over the weekend before I had the audio problems. Bluetooth? Could there have been some sort of cellphone interference with the bluetooth audio signal that caused the problem? I was with a group of about 25 people when recording the event - and I was the only person recording video/audio. My camera was about 15-20 feet from the microphone, which was close to the house mic and sound system - but no interference at all with the audio I did capture.
The audio didn't just drop out - it faded out, and would fade back in after several minutes. Video was complete, no interruption or distortion. HELP!Yes, you can use the 85 watt adaptor. You cannot use the new adaptors because your computer is not equipped with the proper MagSafe connector. But you can use the older MBP adaptors as well as a 60 watt replacement adaptor. All can be found at Apple's Online Store.

Audio dropping in and out on Express
My setup:
- Airpot Express running 6.3 software hardwired into my network gigabit switch. Stereo analog audio output plugged into my home theater system. Airport is setup to "Create a wireless network"
- Airport Extreme 802.11g running 5.5.1 software hardwired into my network gigabit switch. Airport Extreme is setup to "Create a wireless network"
- G4 Laptop with 1GB RAM running Leopard 10.5.8 hardwired into my network gigabit switch. Itunes 9.03 open with shared server mounted (see NAS drive below).
- NAS drive hosting 20GB worth of music (mostly high quality AAC files) that iTunes plays back from hardwired into my network gigabit switch.
My Airport Express was streaming audio fine (using the Remote application on my iPhone) however within the last 4 or 5 months music has been playing back choppy dropping in and out every 5-10 seconds or so for about a half a second. Does not matter what music I am playing. Cannot get iTunes to output audio locally on my laptop (only via Express) so think there is something going on.
I know the Airport Extreme basestation probably has nothing to do with the problem but just wanted to point out the fact that I have configured both the Airport Extreme basestation and Airport express to "Create there own wireless networks". I could never successfully include the Airport Express into the Airport Extreme wireless network so kept them separate. However this should all be a null point as the Airport Extreme is hardwired and should not be using any wireless functionality for streaming the music.
Any thoughts?an update, switched the G4 laptop out with a G5 tower, keeping the rest of the setup the same, and the music played fine. Switched back to my laptop and the music played choppy.

I'm in a Skype group of about 25 people, with calls that usually have between 5-7 people. It is a Cloud-based chat. The audio skips every five seconds and it doesn't matter who is hosting. We've had two hosts based in the US (Seattle and Little Rock), one in Thailand, and one in Norway--all with good Internet connections. It doesn't matter who is hosting the group, the audio is still ridiculously low quality and drops every five seconds. It started doing this Friday night, and it was never an issue before. It does it regardless of whether audio or video is involved, and regardless of whether it's the latest version or an older version.
EDIT: I should also add that people in the chat can always hear the host clearly, it's everyone else that can't hear each other, and the host cannot hear anyone else.an update, switched the G4 laptop out with a G5 tower, keeping the rest of the setup the same, and the music played fine.

Trouble With Audio Coming Out of Sync
I am having trouble with audio sync
I am using .mov files of myself talking however I also record audio of myself talking as well. The audio files record as mp3 however I convert them to aiff files in order to better synch them in FCP
I have an audio sound as an in point in order to better sync them and the syncing is perfect when i start.
My files are about an hour and a half long and 20 minutes or so the audio starts to come out of sync and my mouth becomes a half second or so behind the audio. I record this audio live so there is no delay between my speaking and my recording voice but the longer the video goes the more out of sync I become.
My syncing method that I use is "Merge Clips" at the in points.
Has anyone else experienced this?All sorts of things you can do.
Easiest fix is just to run down your timeline and every few minutes snip the audio and move it back into sync.
Now after that;""
Qe have no idea what your process was. We assume you're editing in Final Cut. How did you import your footage? What format is it in the browser?
what are the settings of your timeline? Look at the sequence settings.
You know that you can plug audio from
mic into a Zi8?
You need to get rid of the mixer hum. Likely ac electrical
interference , a ground fault, but who knows. -
What are the iTunes digital audio levels in and out
I am having a lot of trouble with finding out and setting the audio levels in and out of iTunes.
Digital audio has 16bits at '1' with an analog signal level of +12dB, 24bit has all'1's at +18dB. Making the overhead capability for CD 16bit 12dB and that for HD 24bit 18dB.
I would like to record (using SoundStudio) a set of standard audio tones from 20-20kHz with digital levels of "all 1's" 16bit, or +12 dB analog level, "all 1's" 24bit ditto, and the same for levels of analog 0dB (-12dB digital) for 16bit and 0dB(-18dB digital) for 24bit.
What I am finding is that if I get Sound Studio to inert a tone at what it calls 0dB, save it as AIFF, then the output it from iTunes I get a much higher level, around +8dB or so!
Any ideas?As an addition to my first question. I asked the makers of Sound Studio about levels. They tell me that the Mac standard is to have all '1's in the digital stream defined as 0dB.
Which helps as I can now record a tone at the CD level of -12dB and the HD audio level of -18dB. And if I make recordings I know to keep the input levels well into the green, not yellow and definitely not up to the red.
As you say the output of iTunes is boosted, and from my measurements this boost is in the analog circuitry and is about +8dB.
I woul dnot recommend turing down the iTunes volume control as this brings in the digital volume reduction, which depends on the algorithm they have implemented. This is not so bad for iTunes as the Audio Core software works at 32bit and can handle 16bit volume changes fairly well. But on the iPad it is different as iOS is only 16bit audio so the volume algorithm is poor. So always leave the volume at maximum and turn down your HiFi volume control!
Or use a digital output to an external DAC as the iTunes volume control is then disabled. Set Audio MIDI for 24bit output and you are ready to go with HD Audio. -
Trouble with audio driver HPG60-243CL
Hello.
A few days ago, I needed to format my notebook (model G60-243CL) and I did everything just like I'm used to do. I reinstaled Windows 7 and after instaling the drivers downloaded from HP drivers page, I had to restart the computer. That's when my troubles began.
Sometimes, when starting up, everything goes on properly until the Windows loading screen, when my computer suddenly restarts again. It doesn't happen everytime and it seems a bit random to me. However, I noticed that when it finally turns on after restarting several times, the audio is a bit odd in every application that involves audio like musics players, videos and games.
On the rare occasions where my notebook manages to start up properly, the audio stays normal.
I already tried formating again, reinstaling the audio drivers and codecs, but nothing seems to work. Does anybody have any suggestions?Uncle_Sam wrote: I wrote a simple Java application to record audio ..
There is no simple way to record sound in Java, AFAIU.
Uncle_Sam wrote: ...on some mixer and then play it back. ...
Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again, sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot be recorded at any mixer. I tried mixer 6 above without success.
Is it not possible to record computer audio when a microphone is connected? If it is, how?
Significant question. Are you interested in getting this code to work for the machine you sit in front of, or is this for 'the general end user'?
I have no general solution for the latter, but for a single machine, installing an 'audio loop-back' (either software or hardware) might be the answer. That is the most intelligent thing I can offer that might help get around this problem.

I wrote a simple Java application to record audio on some mixer and then play it back. With my headphones / microphone connected, I got the following list of mixers:
1. Primary Sound Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
2. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
3. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
4. Primary Sound Capture Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
5. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
6. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
7. Java Sound Audio Engine : Software mixer and synthesizer
8. Port Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Port Mixer
9. Port SoundMAX HD Audio : Port Mixer
Of these, mixers 2, 5 and 8 are not available when the headphones are detached, as expected.
Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again, sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot be recorded at any mixer.

I'm having problems with video play back in itunes 10.7.0.21 for windows 7. Video was playing fine, but now I'm having audio issues. Audio cuts in and out. Also video pauses and fast forwards. Does anyone know what would cause this all the suddenly? More importantly does anyone know how to fix this?
All sorted now. Thread can be closed!

A mid 2010 Mac Pro, trying to get 5.1 surround out of the onboard sound software using fiber optic out connected to a Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker sys. with fiber optic in and out, all I get is stereo and simulated 5.1 sound out of the speakers. In utilities, Audio Midi Setup I can't get the Mac to see the Logitech speakers for 5.1 speaker configuration. Without being made to feel like a dummy, does anyone have a solution? Thanks, Carl
Hello John, I figured it was a signal issue. All the speakers fire and the sound is great. I was running the speakers thru a Dell PC with a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, THX Certified, 7.1 soundcard using a fiber optic from the Mac Pro to the Z906's, it worked great until the Dell died!!! When I bought the soundcard from Creative I also bought the GigaWorks S750, THX Certified, 700 watt, 7.1 speaker system, used the speakers for 11 years and then the woofer/amp said "I QUIT" Creative quit making the speaker system and the sound card. The satellite speakers from the Creative GigaWorks speaker system still sound great (rated at 78 watt each) and are a little better speaker than the one's that came with the Z906 and the wattage from the 906 is sufficient to drive the satellites without any distortion. Thank you for addressing my issue, you confirmed what I suspected all along, just needed to hear it from someone with the same setup.
One last question, I purchased a Diamond Multimedia USB Soundcard, can't use the fiber optic(not supported by Mac) but the green, tan and black RCA's plug in and produces adequetly. When you plug your 906's into the Mac Pro using the fiber optic how do you set your speaker configuration? When I plug into the mac pro with fiber optic the 'Audio Midi Setup' does not seem to see the 5.1 configuration. Any thoughts there?

Can anyone please tell me what I can do to fix the following problem....I updated the software to ios 5.1 two days ago and since then my network coverage drops in and out. Very difficult to make recieve calls with this happening every few seconds and near impossible to use the Internet. I have contacted support but got no support as 90 days had just ended. I have researched this problem all over the Internet and am now aware that I am not the only one with this problem after the upgrade. I have reset many times and read every post and still there are no answers...Can anyone please help? I'm trying to run a business and it's impossible with the phone doing this now.
I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
Did you ever find anything more to this? -
Still having trouble with audio on Macbook Pro
I had posted a discussion board earlier on this issue. I've been having trouble with audio for certain videos on youtube and basically any website embedded with a video. The audio works for a few seconds that doesn't or it doesn't work at all. My volume is up, not on mute, and the one on the video isn't on mute either. It's funny because I just tried watching a video on Firefox (as opposed to Safari) and it works. Could it possible be something with the settings for safari?
Try restarting your Mac, resetting your router, and resetting your modem. My cable internet has gotten slow at times as well, and when I reset my router everything cleared up.

II am having trouble with safari dropping most Internet connections most every time I'm on. This is a first generation iPad. Can this be cried?
This issue was resolved! I didnt think about restoring my computer to factory settings but I did and now my computer works like brand new. basically, just back up your files and do the following:

Mac Mini 10.7 external hdmi audio cuts in and out
I have the newer mac mini, have had this one and another one previously setup on my samsung TV through hdmi then fiber to polk audio soundbar has been working fine on 10.6. I upgraded to 10.7 and now the audio cuts in and out. When i go to audio and set it to internal speaker it works fine. I didn't have any issues before the upgrade. I did swap the hdmi cable with the one from my ps3 since it isn't cutting out, and it still cuts out on the mac running 10.7. Ideas?
Same issue here, and same fix. PRAM reset... twice! I actually held it down TOO long and it tried to prompt me to reinstall my OS which scared the crap out of me, but I just clicked the "reboot" button on the setup screen and it booted fine. Audio problem gone. Thanks!
