Why is WAV file Voice track playing slow, how to speed up

I drop a WAV file voice track into GarageBand and it plays slow. How can I avoid, and/or fix this condition?

My brushes still run slow especially at low opacity in the 2-8% range for gentle retouching work. There is a 3-5 second delay sometimes.
I have updated vertsion of Photoshop CS4
Have Open GL Nvidia 7800 authorized board
have latest drivers for video board.
Using 137 gig separate hard drive for cache and scratch
Why would I still be getting this delay?
Sometimes I set my cache level to 1 or 6 to see if that changes things...doesnt do much it seems
Anything else I can try??
Thanks

Wav files won't play in Firefox 22

Wav files won't play in Firefox 22. Previous versions of Firefox are fine. Other sound is fine. I have the latest mac OS X. Quicktime is set to play wav files. I have the latest version of it.
Is there a fix for this?
Is there any other plugins I can install which will play the wav files?

Thank you for your response Alice.
I checked about:plugins and I DO have audio/wav and audio/x-wav. It it QuickTime 7.7.1 I have.
In Firefox Preferences Applications Panel I do not seem to have the iTunes.Document audio/x-wav there, only the audio/wav and Waveform Audio.
Re the New Email Notification feature with my Webmail, this is not activated via a Firefox extension. I don't really know how it works but when I'm logged into my Webmail email account and a new email arrives, a wav sound is played to alert me of the new email. This has always happened with all previous versions of Firefox, just not since I updated to Firefox 22 but when I go back to Firefox 21, it works again.
I have previously asked about this with my Webmail company. They knew nothing of this problem. I have now asked them for a second time now that I know that it is only THEIR wav sound that won't play. Other wav files play OK with Firefox 22.
I do not know what is at fault - Firefox 22, QuickTime or the Webmail site but for the past few days I have frequently switched between Firefox 22 and Firefox 21. Each time the New Email Notification wav sound works with Firefox 21 and doesn't with Firefox 22 so that makes me suspect that somehow Firefox 22 is at fault.
But it is a mystery and I might be stuck with it - unless it disappears as mysteriously as it arrived with a newer version of Firefox or maybe even a newer version of Quicktime.
Thank you to everybody who has tried to help me.

Why my AVI file is not playing? It says a codec component is missing. How do I correct this?

Alternatively, you can download the free iConvert App from the App Store, it can convert into .mp4 which you could then add to your iTunes library and sync to iPhone/iPad/iPod :)

Visual wave files in the play bar

How do I bring back the visual wave files in the play bar? They've disappeared since the last upgrade.

On my 8 year old iTunes there's a little triangle on the left you click to change displays. Have you tried clicking around on things there?

DVD Player audio track plays slower than Video and at transposed pitch

I have a strange problem with DVD player. I have an opera DVD (not a commercial one - it is from a personal performance and is on a DVD-R disk)) which I put in my Mac Book Pro (OSX 10.5.6)and DVD Player played it fine. I wanted to try to convert the info on the DVD to extract a short section of the DVD. I went to Hand Brake and tried that, it told me I needed to install VLC which I did, Hand Brake then recoded the Files. Now when I insert the DVD though DVD Player starts automatically but plays the DVD audio at a slower speed and transposed lower. I have no idea why this is! Needless to say I do not want it playing slower. VLC also did not work very well with the audio so I have uninstalled the VLC program as it played the VOB files but the sound track was very wonky with the pitch shifting all over the place. How do I return to having DVD Player working properly?

okay, I can help you a little bit. your dvd player (standalone) plays mpeg-2, I think, so
in order for a disk to work in it, both the audio and video have to be combined into a whole package, which i think is video_ts.Using Toast, choose video, then dvd-video then drag n' drop, and it may work. As far as i know, disk utility cannot make video dvd's, but I may be wrong, and you may be right. I used iDVD, but there are probably other programs that may do as good a job of burning. Oh, and this is most important: Some blanks will work ok, and others won't. Verbatim, maxell ( I think) and Taiyo Yuden will work fine. the other ones are a gamble. I think what it's supposed to do is called muxing. I'm sure someone will correct me on this. You could try using "Burn" which is relatively cheap or Handbrake and see if that will do what you want to do. not that it's super important, but the amount of Ram in your machine is helpful too
anyways, good luck

Emailed voicemails with .wav files no longer play

My office has a VoIP system that I have set up so it sends me an email (Gmail not Outlook) with the voice mail message attached as a .wav file. On Sunday my Droid Razr M stopped working and Verizon made me do a hard reset to restore factory settings. Since then I can't open the voice mail messages. When I try to play the message I get this error message: "Info No app can open this attachment for viewing."
What got reset/removed during the factory reset and how can I restore the ability to play voice mails?

its the updates to google play music causing the problem
go to settings > apps > all and remove updates to google play music and it will start working

.wav files are not playing in firefox 3.6.13

I have written index.html file and coded the following and the .wav file is also in the same folder where the .html file is saved,
<html><head><title>wav files</title></head>
<body>
<bgsound src="hello.wav" loop="5">
</body>
</html>

re: "Microsoft proprietary code used by IE and will not work in Firefox."<br />
Why doesn't Microsoft get busy and write some plugins for other browsers? They wrote Silverlight for Firefox. Are they afraid other browsers will become more popular then IE? Or maybe that's already happened. I have a Mac Book Pro w/OSX snow leopard. It's a superior machine and OS. I tried a HP laptop w/Win 7 first. I had to return it before regurgitating.<br />
Addendum: Reasons for my disgust w/IE:
# If you run IEv8x w/all the "security updates" the processor is bogged down until the speed is unbearably slow. I doubt if there's one lousy compute cycle left for another task.
# Reasons for the above: all those security updates etc. are dialing home with tattle tale crap, along with all the adware, spyware, malware, and viruses you can think of that are floating around in cyberspace just waiting to infect your PC w/Windows OS.
# I have Symantec/Norton Internet Security on my Mac Book Pro. None of the above stuff has infected my Mac since I bought it 2 months ago. A welcome relief.

How do I get rid of a mystery file-less track playing on my project?

I have a completed song on garageband using about 15 tracks. At some point in the song, for about 6 seconds, there an be heard the remnants of an earlier voice track that is no longer existent. And yet it plays it! And I can't get rid of it. I have gone thru every track and the sounds are not on any existent track. And yet it plays everytime I play (or export) the song. It's like a Garageband ghost. I found somebody else describing the same situation on these forums here, but no solution was offered. How can I get rid of these unwanted sounds?
Thanks...

On your PC, open up Computer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support. Inside of this folder should be a file called SQLite3.dll. Copy this file by right->clicking on it and choosing Copy.
Then go back one folder so that you are again in the Apple folder. Look for the Mobile Device Support folder. Open it up and paste the file inside of it.

Flash file into captivate playing slow first time

Hi.
I am very new to flash but have been using Captivate for
awhile now. I am trying to create an animation in flash of a book
flipping pages. I have 9 jpg images of the various stages of the
book flipping. When I import the first image into Flash it asks if
I want to include the entire series of images. I said yes to this
and now I am stuck. When I test the movie in Flash it plays slow
once and then really fast after that.
I saved it and imported it into a captivate project and the
same thing is happening. It plays really slow and choppy. If I
navigate away from the page and then come back to it, it plays
really fast (faster than I'd like but I'd prefer that to slow)
Any help. I searched on the Flash forum and found someone
else with this issue but they never got a response.
Any suggestions would be great. I am sure I am missing a step
here but I just can't figure out what it is.
Thanks,
Kim

When you say you play it, in either Captivate or Flash, do
you mean
locally or that you upload it somewhere and play it back
through a web
browser from that website location?
If the former, then I'm not sure. If the latter, sounds like
the images
are Very Large and it's taking a while for them to download
in order to
play...but once they're downloaded and 'cached', the file
plays quickly.
How large are your published SWFs? What format are your
images? What DPI?

My incoming mail user .wav file doesn't play for incoming mails. It does work on local test.

I have windows 7 Professional PC and use Mozilla Thunderbird 24.4.0 as my email account. I have a local .wav music file for incoming mail which tests OK, but when a new mail arrives it doesn't play. I have all the boxes ticked in the settings. Can anyone help please?

An update on local .wav sound file for incoming TB mail messages.
Driver Booster found outdated drivers and all have been updated.
Sound device has been removed from the device manager and automatically re-installed.
From advice given I have turned mail.imap.use_status_for_biff to "false".
Still no sound from my local .wav file. Is my problem unique? Is 2.74 MB too large as a sound file?

Help with wav file, stop and play buttons

Hey everyone,
I'm new to actionscript, and flash for that matter. I created
a new flash file, and a new layer. On that layer I put 2 buttons,
btnPlay and btnStop.
I found some code on this forum, and tried it, but it isn't
working. The code is below. I get no errors, but when I test the
movie, it doesn't play any music. I selected this layer, selected
frame 1, and put this code in the actions window.
mySound = new Sound();
btnPlay.onRelease = function () {
mySound.attachSound("adagio");
mySound.start(0);
btnStop.onRelease = function() {
mySound.stop("adagio");
I should also note, I have another layer with a movie clip on
it, and another layer with a picture on it.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Jesse

As another note--I right clicked on the wav file in my
library and selected linkage and export to first frame as well as
export for actionscript (and named the linkage "adagio"). Might
help with a solution.

Why won't my music track play on 1080 and 720 versions?

I am using iMovie '11 and when I post the finalized project to MobileMe, only the tiny and small versions play back the added music underscoring - the larger versions play only the audio from the imported video.
The smaller versions on MyGallery play fine, complete with the added music track
Any ideas how to get the 720 and 1080 version on myGallery to play all the audio??
I have a brand new iMac and all software is current

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.
The file must meet the following specifications to play correctly.
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
-or-
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.
"Bit rate between 1000kpbs to 1700kbps"
You sure about that?

Why are .wav files from iTunes so small?

I'm pretty new to iTunes. The experience has been spoiled by the following problem I have.
On my import options (i.e., Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Importing), I have set:
import using: WAV encoder
custom setting: 44.1kHz, 16-bit
This should be CD-quality CD. As such, each minute should take about 11 MBytes or so. (That's how my wav files ripped from audio CD are). Well I just downloaded Candlebox's Far Behind which is about 5 minutes long, and for some reason it only takes 5 Mbytes on my hard drive. Savings space on my hard drive is of little importance to me. What I really want is top lossless quality. And I have a superfast connection, so that's not an issue either.
So what's going on here?
Are these settings not for downloading, but rather for ripping music from audio CDs I already have, or what?
Thanx.

The import setting is for CDs you already have or if you had WMA files and were converting them into iTunes. Downloads off the net are almost always in MP3 format and songs bought off iTunes are in the AAC format (A compressed format just like MP3). I wouldn't worry about it much. If there songs you bought on iTUnes, AAC is a very good sound format and (Far as I know) are just like CD quality
I have bought one or 2 albums in a store on CD and off iTunes in ther AAC format and I can not tell a diff in neither

Why can you only download MP3s? Why no wav files? 99 cents for mp3s?

am i spoiled or something? what gives? does itunes offer uncompressed downloads or not?
thanks,
LE

You can't download ANY MP3s from the iTunes store.
They are all 128 kbps AAC.
iTMS does not do WAV files.
Apple has not given a reason.

I want to watch a wav file on my iPad? How can I do this?

I want to watch a wav file on my iPad, how can I do this?

Philsnc94-
Did you mean a MOV file? If so, you may be able to format a thumb drive in MS-DOS (FAT) format and create a folder named DCIM on it. Copy the MOV file into that folder and connect to the iPad using Apple's Camera Connection Kit. If the file is named with 8 characters plus suffix the way a camera would do it, the iPad may be able to import and view it.
I've never heard of a WAV file being imported that way, but it might be worth a try!
