WEIRD SOUND PLEASE HELP

my mac pro is making a cough-like sound at random times. i think it might be a notification sound but i can't seem to figure out what it is, and it's starting to get really annoying. ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE? PLEASE HELP!

You computer model number or year? Version of OS X you're running? You said in the original post that these sounds are at random times, so I'll assume this isn't due to some sound effect setting in System Preferences. Open up the Console (in Launchpad > Utilities assuming you're running Lion) and select All Messages. If there is a common entry that appears in Console at the same time these noises are produced, report back what it is and someone may be able to help you. If not, I'm mystified - hardware problem?

My macbook pro is making a weird sound, please help?

Hello,
i have an early 2011 model, it was running soo fine until now.
its making a weird sound, to describe, it sounds like a small *trrr* at normal state, and at high, intense states, (playing games..) it turns into a loud *trrrrrr*, but, if i hit it gently over the keyboard, it goes away, then comes back.
please, i dont have an apple retail store in my country, i need help from here, help me.

first thing to do is to buy a new hard drive and an external drive before it fails so you won't lose your files.
once you've done that, put the new hard drive in the external drive and open disk utility.
format/erase your new hard drive as MAC OS EXTENDED Journaled.
After that has been done, open carbon copy (if you don't have it, you can download it for free).
Once carbon copy is open, click on clone your hard drive. Source drive is what you're using now and your target drive is your new hard drive.
Once carbon copy is done, turn off your macbook, open the back of your macbook, take off the hard drive and install your new hard drive.
After you've done all those, turn your macbook back on and you're back in business.

First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.

Is the volume muted? Click on the volume icon in the system tray to see if it shows as muted. If that's the case, I know of a workaround to fix this because if you unmute the speakers now, the condition will come back when you reboot your computer. I don't know the exact steps off the top of my head at the moment as I'm not in front of my machine. Check this first and reply if muting was the problem and I will detail the steps needed to fix the problem.

Weird issue/ please help!

So I am new with Adobe Premium CC 2014. I am editing my first video, a letsplay. The problem is with the facecam, that I put in corner of the video. At the beginning I synchronize facecam with sound of microphone and gameplay with its sound. So everything is together as it should be. But after few minutes, something is slowly happening with facecam part of the video. Even tho I did not cut or do enything to the video so far, the facecam is starting to being behind the sound and the gameplay. It was recordet together, so I don't understand why it is happening. And after like 10 minutes, the facecam is like 3-4 second behind other stuff! It is like it's slowing down or I do not know. :-/ Can you help me, because I was trying solve this for 2 days and I just do not know anymore. Maybe I am just stupid, but I don't think this is normal!! Please help / thanx.

There are a few things you can try.
1) try another outlet in another room (different circuit group) to see if the sound is still present.
2) If you are using a power protection device between your PC and the outlet and it is old replace it with a new one.
Even replacing the motherboard generally won't cure this issue as it isquite likely to be related to a problem in the (earthing) grounding and wiring in your home.
please post your results her in our tread.

NO SOUND, please help

A while ago I started experiencing problems with my sound card (SigmaTel C-Major Audio). At first it started distorting the sound but after reinstallation of the sound driver (using Tools & Utilities CD-ROM) the problem was fixed for a short period of time when it started doing this again and I kept reinstalling the driver. Eventually, however, I completely lost the sound and when I checked in the Device Manager there was a problem with my sound card (yellow exclamation mark) and under Device Status it said (still does) "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". Can anyone please tell me if it's possible to fix this by myself (and how) or I have to take the laptop to an ASP?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Miro. Thanx for the reply.
I did try (twice) what you recommended, unfortunately to no avail. The first time after restart the sound card was not detected (there was no message that new hardware is found) and there was again a yellow circle next to the sound card in device manager, and still the same message (This device cannot start). I uninstalled it again and after the second restart the sound card was no longer in device menager, obviously it failed to detect it again.
I don't know about you, but I have a funny feeling that the sound card does not make good contact with the mother board, and that the problem is on a hardware basis. The other day after I switched on the laptop the sound card did start ok and I could once again listen to music. However, that wasn't for long and after I hibernated and then dehibernated it the sound was gone again. It's very weird, insn't it?
Any suggestions what I can do next?
Thanx

Muffeled sound, please help!

My ipod works perfectly fine except for the fact that if i try to listen to it with headphones the sound is all muffled and broken like. I've tried many different headphones thinkign it might be them but its not. Who knows how to fix. Please help

to prove that it's not the headphones, try them in different devices. If it's not them, try the 5 Rs:

to attempt to correct any software problems. More information like when this started, how long you've had it, and any other problems with it would be extremely helpful.

Macbook Pro and high-pitch sound, please help!

Hello,
     I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch that is almost brand new. I just got it 3 months ago for my birthday. About a month or two with my new computer I started hearing a high-pitch sound comming from the computer. The sound only lasts about 3-6 seconds and it goes of at random times. It might make the noise 5 times in one day but then it might go away for 3 days, totally random. The sound comes if the computer is sitting there or is being used. After about 3 months of this going off I deceided to bring it to the Apple store in New Haven, CT. Does anyone have the same problem?
     After bringing my computer in and telling them the problem, they tested in for about 30 minutes. Everything was fine. No fan problem or hardrive problem. I brought the computer back home and within 3 days the sound is back. I drove to the Apple store again told them my problem,again, and they did they same test with no results. Brought it back home, noise is still there. This time im starting to get angry, they arent offering any solution. I bring it back and they take it for about 48 hours and do a extensive check. Nothing was found. I bring it home again and the noise is still there. My father and I went to Apple pretty angry and told them that we appreciate the time they take but something really needs to be done. They have sent it out for 3-5 days and we are awating a phone call to see whats wrong.
     I am hoping that they find something or if they dont can they can replace my computer? I am not spending hours of my own time and gas money going back and forth to Apple for no reason..the Genius bar guys have been no help telling us basically that we are lying and that there is nothing wrong when clearly there is. What can I do? Has anyone had this same noise come from their computer? I really appreciat everyone that decideds to throw some input in. Thank you so much.
Notes:
I have the latest software
Macbook Pro 13'
No physical damage done

Make a recording of the sound so the next time you take it in you can let them hear it. It might be best to do a video of the unit so the sound is combined with pictures/video of the computer so they know the sound is coming from it.
IMHO the guys at the B-bars are just about useless for this type of thing. If it isn't a bad drive, HDD or DVD, and the system seems to run OK (actually even if it doesn't run OK but runs at all) they will say "Everything looks OK". Or if the thing is dead they can help. That help will be "You need a new HDD" "You need a new DVD drive" "You need a new Logic board" and that's about it.

Recording issues with sound PLEASE HELP

Hi I am currently trying to record a home movie from VHS to DVD.
Playing the tape via the InterVideo MSIPVS program I have excellent video and sound. now here is where my problem lies.
When select to record from the program it records the video perfectly but not the audio. I am just curious as to what the problem maybe. I looked in the record tab on the setup menu and it gives me the option to select the video input source but not the audio input source. I have the audio input selected in the device tab and this allows me to hear the tape that is being played on my computer.
I have read a few of the forum posts and none really seem to cover this problem. I am just curious if there is something I may have missed or done wrong on install that may have caused this.
Currently running :
AMD XP 1600
1gig Ram
TV@anywhere Master
Geforce 5600XT
onboard sound
Win 2k Service pack 4
DirectX 9c
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I am about to throw this thing in the wood stove and light it.
Thanks in Advance

I have exactly the same problem!
Record video and on playback only get picture.
Strangley I have noticed that if I pause and dont shut MSIPVS then sound on the recorded file will play. But, if you shut down the programme you dont get sound with the picture. Also if you do this you get a file TShift in the folder where the recorded file is stored.

MY VIDEOS DONT HAVE SOUND PLEASE HELP ME

HI I´M NEW ABOUT IPOD... I TRY TO PUT VIDEOS IN MY IPOD 30G BUT SOMETHING GOS WRONG, I DO THIS... ADD A VIDEO, CONVERTING TO IPOD, I UPDATE HIM, BUT WHEM I LISTEN IN THE IPOD THE VIDEO DONT HAVE SOUND... ANY ONE CAN HELP ME ?

Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).
Converting video for the iPod using Videora.

Recorded Sound, please help

I shot a movie recently, and since the audio we recorded on some of the scenes sucked, we dubbed a few of them.
Some of these scenes take place outside, but we dubbed them in a small room and when the recorded sound is placed over the scene, it sounds and looks a little fake, mainly b/c you can kind of hear the voices bounce off the walls in the room we recorded them in.
Is there ANYTHING I can do In Soundtrack Pro to help fix this? Anything?
Any Suggestions??

If there's a lot of reverb (echo), it won't be easy. You should have been careful and recording your VO with as little ambience as you could. Anyway, try using Space Designer plugin. There's lot of environnements simulations there.
