Why is there an Echo in audio/music playback?

Out of the blue today all audio playback, specifically in music the vocals are producing an echo and sound "softer" than the bass/instruments.
I have tried restarting my macbook pro 13" retina
Disconnecting and reconnecting my Belkin bluetooth receiver
Disconnecting and reconnecting while turning on and off the Coby speakers
Even switched outlets in case it wasn't getting enough "juice."
Now my laptop internal speakers are also being affected by this, any suggestions?

It may be the audio encoding of the file. (See Media formats supported by the HTML audio and video elements - HTML | MDN for an overview of supported codecs per browser.) MP4 should generally be safe. Since the video plays fine in IE and Chrome, I suspect this is a browser issue. I would advise you to also take this up with the producer of the video. Perhaps they have some futher insights.
Kind regards,
Willam

  • Why is there only one automated audio fader at head and none at tail of some audio clips?

    When I select "Show audio animation," top left of an audio clip, on some sections I have two knobs... one at the head for fade in, and one at the tail for fade out. Why is there only one on some of the audio clips and not both? I've set up the clips the same, regarding audio animation, and some have faders at head, but not tail. How do I make another fader at the tail of a clip? Or why doesn't it automatically behave like the other audio clips that DO have two faders? I don't know what I'm doing to make them act differently.
    Thanks,

    Tom,
    Thanks for reply. I'm attaching screen shots. For some reason my pointer didn't show up with a normal screen grab. Don't understand. Anyway, several versions are attached. There isn't one hidden on the right beyond the frame that pops out when I put my pointer there (or any tool). Strange.

  • Why is there an echo when using FaceTime on my Mac Book Pro?

    Why is there reverb when using FaceTime on my mac book pro?

    Sounds just the same and as bad with headphones/headset as from internal speaker. Others have reported this problem. Has a solution been found yet?

  • Why is there an echo from the MP3 narration when I play back a Recorded Timing slideshow in Keynote?

    I have an MP3 audio file across all slides in my Keynote presentation.  Then I "Record Slideshow" to record the slide timings as I want them.  Upon playback, there is a slight echo as if two tracks are playing.  What have I done?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the post!  I'm hoping you might be able to lend a hand on the same subject?? 
    I'm also having that problem, but only on two of my audio files??
    I have a Keynote Presentation that I've recorded Narriation for with an MP3 file in the beginning...it worked fine.  I then used Tooble to download a youtube video.  The first one (virtual tour) tuned out fine.  The second youtube video (client testmonial) - echo lag of about a second or two.  SUPER annoying.  I move on to a video my compnay (Century 21) provided me & also feedback on that one.  The final audio clip is of the century 21 jingle, which is an MP3.  It sounds fine also. 
    What gives?
    When I try and pull the volume down like you've suggested, the whole voiceover narrition goes away & it wants me to "edit" my show.  I'm so confused.  My voiceover is never echoy...just the two videos.
    Help?

  • Why are there strange files in my music library when I add music to iTunes?

    My music files were in the "My Music" folder on my laptop (Windows 7) just minding their own business. When I added them to iTunes, though, the program decided to vomit dozens and dozens of small files into the music folder to mix with my mp3 files. They're all titled with numbers and letters like code. If I delete them, they just come right back as soon as I open iTunes.
    Here's what it looks like:
    I really, really, really, really do NOT want to have to sift through hundreds of files to choose a song or mess with my Library (I'm still in the process of building it up).
    Can someone please help me out here? This is one of the reasons I'm debating on whether I even want a new iPod. Obviously, there are so many things I love about Apple. But I've looked this up online and, judging from experience with Apple, I have the bad feeling that either 1. Nobody will answer this question or 2. Everyone will say "Just deal with it."

    Those files should be being created in folders of the form:
    <User's Music>\iTunes\Album Artwork\Cache|Download\<GUID>\<##>\<##>\<##>
    The <GUID> in your case is 0CDB362F24AD473A...
    If they are appearing anywhere else I would suspect a permissions problem. iTunes just spits them out where it can. Similar problems can sometimes cause it to drop files on the desktop.
    Repair Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    Once you've repaired the permissions search for all files of the form *.itc2 in the music folder and delete them, then start iTunes. iTunes will rebuild the artwork cache in the correct location as you scroll through your library.

  • Why is there an echo WHILST recording with my iPad 2?

    Whatever is being picked up by the mic is being echoed three times till it fades out. I have no idea what's going on.
    And also, when I use SIRI a very loud screeching sound comes out and i'm unable to use it. It also echo's amongst the scruffle sounds too :(
    What could be the problem here?
    Thank you everyone, really appreciate your help in advance.

    Yep,
    Well I have muted the sound on my ipad through my wireless keyboard, however my music volume is turned up to full. When my music volume is turned to zero as well as everything being muted it makes that scratchy sound.
    HOWEVER, i noticed it only happens when it is muted via my bluetooth wireless keyboard. What's the correlation?

  • Why is there no image just audio on videos saved on the computer from iOS 6 and 6.0.1?

    I use my iPhone for pics and vids a whole lot. Before switching iPhones I had over 1200 pics and over 150 vids on my iPhone 4.
    About 6 weeks ago I bought a 64GB 4s to be able to save even more pics and vids. Well this 4s was on the original iOS 6 already.
    I just updated to iOS 6.0.1 about an hour ago. I tried saving all my pics and vids before doing so. Pics are saved just fine but all of
    my vids aren't. When I play them back I only get the audio from it and a black screen. I've been saving my pics and vids like you
    would from a camera going through (My Computer) on my PC and saving them to a folder. All of my old videos still play through
    QuickTime which were recorded while using iOS 5 and iOS 4  I recently did an updated on on QT as well... so what's happening?
    Please help.
    Thanks

    But it's always worked and still works on all of my older videos.
    It has something to do with the new iOS 6 but I'll try your
    suggestion.
    Thanks

  • Why is there an echo when multimedia files (mp4) inserted in my online help are played in FireFox? Should I be using a different video file format?

    I am generating Responsive HTML5 using RoboHelp 11. My FireFox version is 31.
    The video plays fine in IE and Chrome.

  • Why is there suddenly no audio from my macbook air?

    Why is there suddenly no audio on my macbook air?

    did you put your Air to sleep with headphones attached, or closed the monitor with phones attached?
    Do not sleep your Air (close the monitor with headphones attached) with headphones attached, this is known to affect some Air under Mavericks.
      * this occurrence is being looked into.
    Much testing on my own and others as well show that, in some instances, this occurs in Mavericks.
    If you choose you may contact Apple for an appt and diagnostics.
       However as said, refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
    Test this and re-verify
    peace  

  • I set up Icloud, now when I try to listen to a song on my ipone 5s it asks me if I want to "download over cellular"? and additional fees may apply.  I've already bought this music, why would there be any more fees?

    I bought my first Iphone - the Iphone S about a month ago.  I was able to listen to music no problem.  I recently figured out how to get my photos off of my phone and on to my PC, but was prompted to sign up for ICloud to do it.  Now when I try to listen to music on my phone, it asks me to download it from Icloud and asks "download over cellular"?  "Additional fees may apply when downloading phones over cellular".  I've already bought all my music, why would there be more fees and shouldn't ICloud have mentioned this?  Seems I need to take a class just to figure all this out.

    The clouds you see next to your music on the device and iCloud are two different things. When your music is not on your device it is in iTunes in the Cloud. Not the same thing as iCloud which is used to sync information between devices and house backups of your device contents. So that little cloud you see next to your songs is telling you that the music is not on your device. That's why it is giving you the message - because when you click on it, it is attempting to download it to your device.
    What may have happened is when you imported your photos to the PC, you may have sync'd your device via iTunes, and you did not have the Sync Music option checked in your device Profile screen.
    Hook up your device to your PC and open iTunes. Make sure the sidebar is showing (Control+S if you cannot see the sidebar with Devices listed), and click on your device to open the Device Profile screens to the right. Click on the Music tab, and make sure that the Sync All Music or Sync Selected Music box is checked. If you have Sync Selected Music checked, then below that, make sure you check all music that you want on your device. Then click on SYNC at the bottom (or APPLY).
    Once you have successfully sync'd your music to your device, you will no longer see the cloud next to the songs, and you also will no longer get a message since you will have the songs physically on your device and not in iTunes in the Cloud.
    Cheers,

  • Why is there no audio when I upload from Canon Video cam to imovie?

    When I attempt to ulpoad from my Canon Elura 90 to imovie, the video is there but not the audio. Have imovie 9.0.4 and Mac os 10.6.8

    I had the same problem a long time ago. I don't remember it for sure but I guess it had something to do with the bit numbers of the camcorder (the audio setting in this respect).(it was solved with posting it on a Mac website)

  • Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

        Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
    I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
    ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5  Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
    Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library...  or File/Add Folder to Library...
    Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
    Do either of the following:
    1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
         I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
    I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
    Steps
    1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

    I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
    To resolve it from within Itunes I did :  Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
    I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
    Click OK.
    Closed iTunes/
    Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
    I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
    Works fine now.

  • Is there a way to import music from my ipod to the computer?

    is there a way to import music from my ipod to the camputer?
    I have music from all over the world and i want to import all of it to my computer..

    Sorry for insulting Apple. This whole thing has me frustrated. You would think that this is an easy thing...which it is after downloading the third party software and all.
    I am just a bit edgy after talking to 3 customer support folks for almost 2 hours, who I could barely understand and then having them just tell me to download the files again. 3500+ songs...jumping out the window was looking more pleasant (jk). Now I have to explain to the wife why the phone is busted in-two...lol.
    Anyway, I was able to get hooked up with some software and it seems to be downloading fine. I am using iPodCopy. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction and putting up with a bit of attitude. I am sure they have their reasons for not making this an easier operation.

  • Is there a way to fade music in iMovie for iPad2?

    Is there a way to fade music in iMovie for iPad2? I am making a short presentation using photos - not video. The music soundtrack ends abruptly. Is there a way to have it fade out?

    It shouldn't crash but it could be that your library has some user-agent detection that's going awry when running in an unknown browser. 
    You can always use the HTML5 WebAudio API to go beyond simple audio file playback.
