Video's Sounds Stops Periodically

Just what it says, the movie will play for awhile then freeze for like 5 seconds then resumes without audio. Also I can't get any audio when using a H264 video file. Help Please

Hi,
I don't know if this has been covered in another topic, but I'll try my best to answer your query.
I'm assuming that you:
1) Have a 60GB iPod with video
2) Have upgraded the firmware on it to 1.1 using the 2006-01-10 Updater
Ok, this issue where your video files stop, or the sound stops periodically onlly seems to be affecting users who meet the above criteria.
The only way I have know of to stop the pauses, is to run your video files through Quicktime Pro and choose "Export" from the file menu.
Once the Save as dialog box appears, set the export type to "Movie to MPEG-4" and then press the options button.
Once the options appear, choose "Pass Through" from the Video Format drop-down box, and then do the same for the audio too...choose "Pass Through"
Then export the file to a directory of your choice and then drag and drop your new file into iTunes or directly onto the iPod icon in iTunes.
I have found this to work, and so far the largest video file i have is over 1GB.
I'm sorry but I'm unable to help with your H.264 issue, as I'm not that savvy! Most of the info I've found out has been by trawling the net!

Watching a Youtube video my sound stops across my whole machine until I exit firefox

If I watch a Youtube video for a couple of minutes the sound suddenly cuts out yet the video carries on playing. No plugin crashes. All sound across my machine has stopped. I can open MP3's in Zoom player and it moves the timer along but no sound comes out.
I have to exit Firefox and Zoom and restart Zoom and my sound is restored and the MP3 plays fine.
I have to exit Firefox and restart it to carry on watching the Youtube video and the sound will cut out again a couple of minutes later.

Try to play with ur RAM , take out 1 socket and try to power it on with 1 stick ..

Sound Stops periodically

Hi, I Post this message because I've been experimenting a problem with my 160 Gb Ipod Classic. It suddenly stops sound for 1 second more or less, then it continues playing music perfectly. It does that when it wants, without a set frequency.
I have restaured it already twice. What could be?

Hard Reset the iPod as below- this does not delete or erase any song or data.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

Itunes sound stops working after 20 mins on videos bought from iTunes store.

On every video i've bought from the iTunes store the sound cuts out after approx 20 mins. I'm on windows 8.0 (completely up-to-date with all drivers up-to-date too) with the latest iTunes (11.1.3.8) and Quicktime (with enhancements switched off). PC is a quad core i7 with 16GB of memory with windows running on an SSD and my iTunes content on another internal HD (not an SSD). iTunes library is approx 24000 songs and 30 videos. i'm watching on a full HD monitor with external speakers and the PC is authorised to play iTunes content.
I've worked my way through all the iTunes support items around video chopping (which was happening too - now fixed) and audio issues but nothing helps e.g. I've switched off iTunes match and home sharing, switched off any audio enhancements in iTunes and my sound card (which is a Via chipset on my motherboard), switched the bit rate to 16 bit/44.1k on windows and itunes, uninstalled and re-installed iTunes etc, etc.
I did have an Apple TV on my network but I've disconnected it in case the sound was being routed to it after a period of time. This hasn't made any difference.
Has anyone had this issue and managed to fix it?
Thanks

Myself as well, have been having this same problem, around 20 minutes into any movie I open up in my itunes library, the sound stops playing. I have yet to find any fix for the problem, although I have a thought that it is probably something to do with the buffering. My songs play just fine, all day long, but any movie only plays for 20 minutes and then the sound goes out. Additionally, I had another issue that kept popping up an error message everytime I tried to open Itunes, this was finally fixed via copy paste a corruptted (spelling) .dll file. The only "workaround" for this issue, that I have found, is to open the movie in QuickTime, even though I am not really excited about the QuickTime player. If anyone finds a better solution, please drop a line. thank you in advance.

Hi:
You go into the BIOS, select the Advanced Options menu.
Go to the device configuration menu and there will be an onboard audio setting.
It will be set to Disabled. Change the setting to Enabled. Save the setting there by hitting the F10 key, and again when you exit the BIOS.
After you reboot, you will have the onboard audio back.

Sound stop playing during video playing on ipad 1 with ios 5.1.1

after updating my ipad 1 to ios 5.11 the sound on my ipad sometimes stops suddenly. it happens during video playback, music listening or just text typing on keyboard.
i ve tried all the advices seen on communities and no one worked for me (restore the system, change the lock screen button configuration, clean the headphone input, test with apple headphones...)
please help me to find a solution and thank you for your help.
another information : when sound stop playing, sometimes when i lock the ipad, a strange noise comes from the speakers like a larsen.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
 Cheers, Tom

My iPod Touch sound stops at the end of my videos

It started happening yesterday. I made recorded videos of stuff around me and the sound stopped working when it was starting to get to the end. I don't know what to do. Please help!

How did the iPod touch stop working?
If it just appeared to freeze and wouldn't respond to touch, try resetting your iPhone by holding the sleep button and the Home button until you see the Apple logo.
If that happens more than once, you'll probably want to restore the iPod touch.

Sound stop working also video play such as on news. Help

My sound stopped working and playback of a video(such as in a news item) stopped working also. Please help me solve the problem.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until theÂ Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Alert sounds stopped working

My email, WWF, etc. alert sounds stopped working on my Ipad2, suddenly, for no reason. I tried resetting the system 3 times and that did not hellp. The OS is up to date. The do work if I 'test' them, though. And, my sound works fine on videos, etc.
Any suggestions? It is past the warranty period

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Audio Issues - Sound stops on youtube vid after a few seconds. Please Help?

What's been happening is weird audio issues, especially youtube related though not only (other web video content has been messed up, but mostly youtube). Right now I am using headphones (1/8" or 3.5mm) through the back of the computer and when I turn on the computer, at first I can hear sound from videos. When I open the speaker icon mixer window in the bottom right, I see green bar moving with the sound on the "speakers" mixer and "Adobe Flash Player" mixer simultaneously.
Then after a few minutes or after having a few tabs open, all of a sudden the audio stops. Oddly enough, usually the video keeps going even thought the audio has stopped. I verified this wasn't a hardware issue with my headphones by opening the Speaker Icon Mixer window, and acutally was watching it at the moment the sound stopped and saw the green bar disappear exactly when the sound stopped.
If I restart the computer, or firefox only sometimes (mostly need to restart cpu though) then videos will play again with sound. Once the sound stops however, if I open a new youtube video in another window, it will sometimes cause an "An error occured. Please try again later" crash.
I'm at a loss of what to do.
Running latest version of Firefox (26.0) and Adobe Flash (11,9,900,170 installed). Windows 7 64 bit system, Intel Core I7 Processor.
I have tried many things include "reset firefox", clear cache, changing to an earlier version of Flash (11.3). Tried to update sound cards. Even tried to restore computer to an earlier setting ( I only went two days ago, could go farther back I suppose).When I reverted back, the problem went away for a few hours but then came right back.
I scanned pc with ESET online antivirus, no viruses, Malewarebytes Pro, no issues. Cleaned with CC cleaner. Plenty of hard drive space (using an SSD boot drive btw).
I am not very knowledable about plugins or "addons" or extenstions. Nor do I know if it has anything do "Firefox Options -> applications" (gives content type and then option...essentially a bunch of sound file types and then which plugin plays it). I can give my list of all this out if necessary but there are quite a few and I dont know how to copy/paste that info so it would take. Even though its gonna take forever to hand type these guys all out, I will give my list of "plugins" that may be audio related:
QuickTime Plugin 7.7.4 7.7.4.0
RealDownloader Plugin 1.3.3.66
RealNetworks (tm)
RealDownloader Chrome Background Extensions Plug-in (32-bit) 1.3.3.66

When I open my device manager and look at "Sound video and game controllers" I see 4 options:
1)AMD High Definition Audio Device
2) Bluetooth Audio Device
3) High Definition Audio Device
4) Intel (R) Display Audio
I'm not sure what this means, if I have 4 sound cards or if they are conflicting somehow.
I tried to update drivers on each one. No change. I've tried "restarting firefox with addons disabled" and "check here to see if your addons are up to date" (they were except VLC which I did update before restoring to previous day and it didnt help).
None of the fixes work for me, same issues. Extremely frustrated!! Help?

I'm having a similar problem with flash audio. After a few minutes of watching a video or playing a game the audio cuts out but the video keeps working. The audio does not return until I refresh the page. The issue occurs regardless of which browser I'm using (have tired both Firefox and Chrome). Oddly enough, when the audio cuts out from whatever flash application is running, my entire system loses sound until I refresh the webpage or close the browser. For example, I was playing Minecraft with Chrome open in the background and suddenly the sound cut out from both. Once I closed the browser my audio came back. I realized that there was a graphic on the webpage that was flash based which likely triggered the issue.
I do not have any Real plugins.
Incidently I also have Intel (R) Display Audio listed in my device manager
Edit: I forgot to mention, this issue only seems to occure when I watch videos that have been uploaded recently. For some reason the audio does not cut out when I watch a video was uploaded a few months ago.

No video or sound from iSight

I have a frustrating problem ! My external iSight camera has stopped working, ever since I moved from a PPC G5 to an Intel Mac Mini. I did actually have it working for a while, but I must have changed something and now nothing I do will get it to work again.
I have tried isolating the problem by removing other Firewire devices - the camera is always correctly recognised no matter where I plug it in; System Profiler shows it as present, and it is shown as available as a video or sound source. The problem is that when I actually try to use it, I just get blank (black) and no sound input.
If I plug the camera into another machine, it is recognised and works OK !
I'm sure this must be a software conflict, but I don't know what with. Console logs just show similar messages from any application that tries to use the camera, saying that it's unable to open the source for input. I'm suspecting that some 3rd party plugin or driver is being loaded and crashing out - perhaps because I migrated over from a non-Intel machine (I did a clean install, and ran the migration assistant).
Any suggestions how to find the culprit ?
Powermac G5 Dual 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Phew - got it working, but don't ask me how !!
I did a fresh install onto the internal HD (I already boot from an external one, see below). No dice. So I unplugged everything, and plugged in just the iSight.
I have a LaCie external HD which also works as a Firewire and USB hub. With this unplugged, the camera worked on the fresh install. I then re-plugged in the firewire leads for the hub, and connected the camera to the hub. Rebooted (****, OS X boots fast on a fresh install on the Intel machines !). Still working. Then I plugged in the USB leads for the hub, still working. Which is strange, because that's exactly the configuration in which is WASN'T working a few moments before ! I then rebooted into my original system (on the external FW disk), and it's STILL working.
Now this is really strange, because this is the config in which it really wasn't working before. All I can figure is that somehow connecting via Firewire first, rebooting, and then USB somehow tells the hub to work correctly as a FW hub. But this doesn't make too much sense, because other external HDs I have still worked fine before - it was only the iSight that wasn't working.
The only other thing I can think of is that in the process of doing this, I moved a small plastic photo frame that I have that was sat ontop of the mini. The thing with this frame is that it's 2 bits of perspex held together by magnets. They are only small, but I wonder if there was some interference caused by the tiny magnets that somehow effected the Firewire connection (but only for the iSight ?). Anyway, that's staying off the top of the mini for now !
I'm not sure if this explanation will ever help anyone else, but it does give you an idea how to isolate a problem. What I did was isolate the OS (by doing a fresh install), isolate the hardware (by unplugging it all, and selectively re-plugging it), and isolate apparently unrelated external influences (by removing the picture frame). If you're having strange problems with your computer, be methodical, and you will probably isolate the cause and fix it !

HP Pavilion dm4-2070us Sound stop when put the headphone jack

Hi
When I remove or put the headphones jack, the sound stops to work in the speakers and in the headphones. To turn it back, I have to close the player(music, video or sound streamer from the web site) and start it again, but if the headphones is pluged in it works very well, if I remove the jack stop again, it happens in reverse case.
Could you please tell me the solution for this problem?

View Solution.

I had the same problem with dm4-2070us and I just finished chatting with HP customer service. The representative asked me to do few things including setting the BIOS to default. I also reinstalled the driver. NOTHING WROKED.
He told me to do a complete revovery of the system to factory reset. I didn't want to go that route.
What I did is downloaded the older driver for dm4-1162us and installed on my dm4-2070 and it fixed the problem. Now the only thing I'm missing is the Dolby sound, about which I don't care that much.
Hope this help you also.
Conclusion: It's a software problem. May HP come uo with a new driver to fix it, SOON.
Thanks.

Sound stops during games

Randomly my sounds stops during most of my games. Clash of clans my sound will fade in and out like its trying to work properly, but other apps are just muted completely. If im listening to music while playing a game, it seems to happen more often. ALL sound is stopped, i have to exit my app to turn the music back on. This happened after i synced some music. It was TERRIBLE, but i managed to sync it 3 or 4 more times to try and correct the problem, it helped but didnt fix it. One day my sound wouldnt even adjust. Something is seriously wrong with this OS. This has been a problem since iOS7. And i was syncing my wifes new Justin Timberlake, apparently the iPod hates him as much as i do.

NoSound problem with headphones? With speaker?
If only with headphones have you tried another pair of headphones?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Sound stops during automation recording.

Alright here's a video example of what I'm talking about.
When I'm doing a "Touch" Automation on one midi track, while recording a touch track the midi sound stops as soon as I move the slider.
The automation still records, it's just that the sound stops during automation.
In the video notice that as soon as i move the Volume Automation slider the midi playing
stops. Why? I need to be able to monitor this while I'm adjusting the automation.
Appreciate anyone's suggestions.
It's Logic Express 8.0.2 by the way.

HDMI Sound Stopped!

The Q700 has worked great: Running HDMI out to HDMI tuner to HDMI TV ... DVD picture and sound are (were) terrific, Windows Media and other players worked great.
I installed Windows 7 - still terrific for a time.
Then, quite suddenly, the sound stopped out of the HDMI (video works flawlessly). I switched out the cables . . . both worked fine in other configurations (between the received and the TV, eg), and neither fixed the sound-less problem. Plus, I didn't figure it was a cable issue since the RelTek sound continues to work with the sound meter indicating sound levels - when sound is shifted over to the HDMI in the Sound portion of the Control Panel, the meter doesn't indicate any sound passing through.
Sigh. Anyone have any suggestions??? Thanks so much...

Kris,
That is perplexing. I've not had a chance to play with the Q700 first hand, but I'll share the following experience from a Y450 / Y550 laptop with HDMI.   I found that the audio application didn't always switch well between internal audio and HDMI while a moving was playing. If I recall, I had to stop the movie, and maybe restart it when I changed from one audio source to the other.
Try making your selection to HDMI and reboot, then try again?
Meanwhile, I'll see if we have a Q700 running Win7 we can take a look at...   maybe others will have some thoughts too.
