Various audio problems with the onboard speakers but not the headphones.

The little volume wheel is connected to a variable resistor, which is soldered to the motherboard via 7 pins. when the wheel loosens up, or the pins loosen up, the onboard speakers get flaky or just don't work. We've been seeing this type of problem for a while now, and just thought that the general public should know. Either replace the motherboard, or the volume controller, or wiggle and jiggle the wheel when it gives problems. good luck all, and i hope this little tid-bit helps out.

Hi,
Try the following.
First, download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the following link.
Chipset Driver - Windows 8
When the reinstallation has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has reloaded, download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
IDT Audio Installer - Windows 8.
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio through headphones.
Regards,
DP-K

My ipod touch is having problems with the headphone jack when I rotate a little song stops

my ipod touch is having problems with the headphone jack when I rotate a little song stops

Hey Silverdemon, sounds like a short, most likely in the headphones. Try a different set of headphones with this iPod or try the headphones with a different device. If the problem stops with your iPod or it moves to another device, then replace the headphones. If within 1 year of date of purchase Apple will replace the headphones for free if problem is a defect, not abuse. If the problem continues with a different set of headphones, check the port for damage and foreign debris. If you note debris, attempt to remove it, if damage noted contact Apple and set up an appointment to have it evaluated. if nothing appears wrong, try plugging / unplugging to jack about 12 times maybe corrosion on the contacts if so that should clean it. Next thing to try reset your iPod. After that try restore from backup. Last resort, restore to new. Just make sure you make a full backup to your computer before you restore so no data is lost. If nothing works, contact Apple and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

Audio problems with the Radeon HD 5870

Hello and sorry for my english, it's not my native language.
I own an early 2009 Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Quad Core (4.1), with OSX 10.8.5, 12 Gb RAM, 512 Gb SSD and Ati Radeon HD 4870 (512 Mb).
I found a good offer for an used original Ati Radeon HD 5870 Mac (1 Gb), so i got it and put it into my Mac Pro (PCI slot 1, both power cables connected and MDP to HDMI cable, as was previously the 4870).
My monitor is a Philips LED TV-Monitor 221TE 21,6".
Besides the fact that i had to recalibrate the monitor (the graphic at first was too "sharp"), i lost the audio from integrated speakers of the monitor (the line-out port is selected, as previously was, in system preferences --> audio), it works only with integrated speaker of Mac Pro.
The monitor is connected with audio cable to the line-out of Mac Pro (i know that my 2009 Mac Pro supply only video signals over Mini DisplayPort).
If i put back the 4870 with same connections, the audio is back from line-out...
If i connect an external speaker to the line-out, it works...
So it's not the line-out to be faulty.
Just to try and waste time, i repaired permissions, reset PRAM, installed and updated OSX to 10.9.5, but nothing worked...
Any idea would be appreciated, thank you.

Thank you all for the answers,
@voidcom: yes, i'm pretty sure it's a genuine Apple Card, not only because assured from the seller, but also because it has 2 MiniDisplayPorts (which, in my knowledge, are present in genuine Apple cards only, PC cards usually have standard HDMI ports).
I'm sure i plugged the audio cable into the right port (the one with the speaker symbol); in my first installation of the card i left it untouched, but the audio worked with the 4870 and not with 5870.
If i plug an headphone in the rear or in the front, i can hear sound... it seems that the installation of the 5870 blocked audio output towards my monitor only... that's the strange thing.
@Grant Bennet-Alder: yes, i fiddled with the controls in System Preferences > Sound, was the first thing i did, but only internal speaker works.
The only thing i didn't try, it's the SMC reset, i'll try it ASAP, thank you.
@DPart: i found the same information searching the web, only Mac Pro 5.1 or flashed 4.1 to 5.1 can output audio via HDMI, thank you anyway.
However, that's not my case... i don't want audio output via HDMI (would be nice, but not essential for me), the installation of the 5870 blocked audio output towards my LED monitor only... with the 4870 worked perfectly instead.
Yes, under PCI section i found the 5870 twice, the first with driver loaded, the second one not.
I searched information about this "ATY,LangurParent" but i found nothing useful:

Audio problem: jerky playback (stutter like) but not echo or looping

Hello everyone, this just started happening on my g4 powerbook 15 inch.
The audio, even system sounds, stutter-- more like there are brief pauses in the audio, like it is started and stopped rapidly, thus no audio is lost or overplayed just silences inserted to chop up the audio flow.
I have tried the fixes for the echo problem but no luck.
What I have noticed is audio works through the headphone jack and only the speakers are giving me the odd chopped up audio.
I also noted that when this is happening if I open the system preferences it is freaking out.
What I mean is If SOUND is open and I am looking at the SOUND EFFECTS screen (where system alerts are) I see in the PLAY SOUND EFFECTS THROUGH: button (unclickable) a rapid switching between internal speakers, headphone and speakers (ispk).
If I open the OUTPUT window I see this rapid switching again, it will end on internal speakers and this chunky, jerky sound continues.
So does anybody else have this rapid start stop problem? I haven't had any echo or looping, just this jerky playback.
I didn't look at every single post here so I may have missed something related to this.
Any tips would be great.
Thanks everybody.

I don't know what causing the problem, but if you play the files with VLC you can adjust the audio synchronization in its "Audio" preferences if you check the "Advanced" box at the bottom-left.

InDesign CS5 causing problems with InCopy assignment file but not content files

I'm having a strange InDesign/InCopy CS5 issue (Mac OSX 10.6.6; all system & Adobe updates are current). In my InDesign doc I have one assignment file containing two content files. All of the InCopy pieces work fine in InDesign (i.e., I can check out/in, edit, etc.). When I go to open the assignment file in InCopy, InCopy starts to open it but then crashes. If I try to open each content file directly in InCopy, no problem. I've tried deleting and recreating new assignments in InDesign, but they all have the same result in InCopy.
I think this actually is a problem with the InDesign file because if I export the InDesign file to IDML, then try to open the IDML file, InDesign crashes! I've trashed my InDesign preferences, made sure all cross-references are up to date, etc. Anybody have any ideas what else to look for in my InDesign file that might cause this problem?
Thanks!
Andrea

Thanks John!
1) Here are the first 10-ish lines from the crash report that is generated when I try to open the IDML file:

2) That works. Moved all pages (frame threading was preserved) to a new doc, exported to IDML, opened new IDML file just fine. Woo hoo! One of my editors won't be pleased that all of the tracked changes have disappeared, but at least the file functions now
Wish I knew what caused the problem in the first place so we could (hopefully) prevent this from happening again. Any ideas?
Thanks again for your help!
Cheers,
Andrea

Problem with the headphone jack

I was watching a movie with the headphones in, I put the computer to sleep, pulled the headphones out and put it away. Later that day I went to use it and noticed that the jack for the headphones was lit up red. Sound will NOT work without headphones in now.
Please help!

Hi Matteo,
I take it you've checked the Audio output tab of your sound panel in Sys.Pref.
Also maybe check the audio Midi Setup Utility in your Utilities folder.
Am unsure of the red light thing - maybe someone else can help.

Audio problems with the Q10

After around a year and couple of months i started to have problems with my blackberry device Q10. The problem is that when receiving the calls i cannot hear the caller unless i put them on speaker which is annoying if you are in public.... So i did the factory reset and nothing changes. Basically the phone is just silent when I receive/make a call. I can listen to music well and even use the mic to record audio sounds. Thanks in advance for your help.

sorry for the late reply, the latest software was applied around a month ago and currently im on the latest release 10.2.2.2977, please let me know if i can do anything to remedy this problem, thanks in advance for your help.

Problem with .sitx files (Safari but not Firefox???)

Hi All,
I have a website online (with help from iWeb and BBEdit) but am having a problem I cant figure out (this IS my first website!)
I am hoping that someone much more knowledgeable than me can help me with it.
I basically have a download section. Icons and desktops.
Now, when I (or anyone else) tries to download- everything seems to be fine in FireFox (even IE!) but not in Safari.
My desktops are compressed as .zip files. No problems there, everyone can download and open (including Safari users!)
My icons are compressed as .sitx files. This is where the problems come in. Firefox and IE download them no problem ('save to disk?' etc) However when one attempts to download the icons (.sitx files) with Safari it simply displays pages of gibberish (starting with the word 'Stuffit') which I am presuming is Safari trying to 'display' the contents of the actual stuffit file.
Why is this? Why wont safari simply download the .sitx files as it does .zip files?
Does Safari have some sort of inherent problem with .sitx files? Is it some sort of configuration within Safari preferences? or (and probably most likely!) is it something I have done wrong?
Oh, my website (page in question!) can be found here:
http://aoimedia.co.uk/news/news.html
Thanks in advance for all your valuable help
Kind regards

Hi,
It sounds like the server the website/file is hosted on is not identifying the type correctly. As you've seen, different browsers will handle this situation differently.
Have a read of this article:

ROWNUM is only incremented when a record passes the WHERE clause (but ROWNUM is assigned before the rows are ordered).
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/pseudocolumns009.htm#i1006297
So if you need to use a lower bound for ROWNUM, you must use a subquery. And as you usually need first/second/third record when sorting by field x, there will be two levels of subqueries.
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT *, rownum rn
FROM (SELECT ...your query... ORDER BY x)
WHERE rownum<=2
WHERE rn=2

Did anyone find a solution to the 1 channel of audio problems with the SD1?

Driving me nuts

You can add multiple audio tracks by dragging audio onto the clips rather than to the background of the project window.

Problem with the headphone jack part 2

Ok. Now I have been to the "sound tab" and tried to select the output audio and change it. But it will not bring up any type of change. It does not offer anything but Digital out. It says it is built in audio. I need help.

i contacted them for service on Friday from the service website but when they say that i should get a package within 2 business days to send it back for replacement but when they say 2 business days do they mean Monday to Friday no weekends or holidays like most businesses? (just curious)

Major audio problems with Creative Zen Micro 6Gb... need h

I have had this device for about a year and a half. about a month or 2 ago, there has been problems with the headphone jack. If the base of the headphone cord (all 20 of them i tested) moved, the audio will either go mono-tone, or play a signle layer of the audio file, or no audio at all. although when applying pressure to it, it will play well. I do NOT want to not go hands free just to enjoy my music, so please help me out!
-Bash

Although a failed power switch is not unknown, I only recall seeing two or three other cases of this. It's not common.
If WMP isn't working with the device having v2 firmware something is wrong. Unfortunately this can be difficult to fix, but take a look here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.
MediaSource won't detect the player if there's some issue e.g. WMP0 not detecting it. You can of course also try installing Zen Micro Media Explorer (Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update to be specific) which has MTP support.
Are you are presumably under guarantee, and as you bought from an Internet store, it's best to return it direct to Creative. Contact Creative Support to arrange this.

Sound works with speakers but not without.

The sound suddenly went off earlier today,can hear when plugged into speakers or head phones only?

Try the following to rule out a software probleM
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPodIf you still have the problem you likely have a problem with the headphone jack in the iPod. They can be replaced. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to identify/determine the cause.
