Windows 8.1 Audio/Video Stuttering/Sticking

I just got my Pavilion Touchsmart yesterday and I'm already having audio/video problems. I first noticed it while watching videos on youtube. Videos at a higher definition stutter more than videos at a lower definition. But now I'm noticing it while playing games. It will freeze for about a second and the audio will repeat, but then it will go back to normal. It's doing this several times a minute and I can't stand it any more.
It's a 12 gb laptop, so I'm not sure what could be causing it.
The audio driver that I am using is a Realtek High Definition Audio.

    So I've had this issue with streaming Netflix Instant play videos on 3 different browsers: Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. Streaming works well for a variable amount of time, from 1 minute to 10 minutes. Then, the playback gets choppy and the audio stutters. During this time, when I try to move the cursor there is a significant delay. It's as if my computer is too slow to handle the streaming. But everything else from youtube to hulu works fine.
    I've been told by Netflix that this problem is processor related. Everytime I'm streaming, their statistics are showing that my processes are eating up 90+% of the CPU. When I go to Activity Monitor, I see Silverlight plugin (which is what Netflix unfortunately streams through) is the only thing that's causing the high usage.
    Netflix has said I should uninstall Silverlight 3 and run an older version. Did that...no success.
    Then, they said I should defrag my hard drive but did not give me specifics on how to do it. So when I googled it, I pretty much came to the conclusion that a Mac does not need to be defragged, and even if I did it, the results will be miniscule. So I'm not gonna throw away $20-$40 to buy some stupid 3rd party defrag tool when I don't need it.
    So I've come to you, Mac community. What do you think I should do now to fix my choppy audio/video problem?

    this is not a laptop or browser issue. this is an issue that has gained noterity and popularity just as of recent with silverlight and netflix. this has been an issue for numerous people, all of which have been using various different browsers, hardware, isps, and operating systems. netflix has claimed ignorance despite multiple complaints from discontent users and proprietors of the company. wootinany, the only effective method of fixing this streaming problem that the anyone has been able to figure out, (since netflix nor silverlight seem to be doing a **** thing about it) is changing the buffering rate of the video you are watching. you can do this by holding shift+alt, Shift+Option(Alt) clicking, then clicking stream manager and selecting manual selection and changing it from the default option of 1050 to a lower buffering rate. this seems to be working for most people but not all. since there is no way to save this preference, unfortunately you must select your buffering rate every single time you start a new movie. if this doesnt work try deleting your facebook account and mailing tons of money and/or drugs to 1375 williams st. #102 denver CO. and upon reception of said comodities i will send you an email of thanks and say a meditative mantra in hopes that your problem will be fixed which will hopefully do something. its worth a try. preffered drugs include in this order, heroin, marijuana, cocaine, any form of psychedelic(preferreably DMT) and heroin. send any of these and i will say the mantra to fix your problem. again, wootinany.

  • DVD audio/video is sticking/crackling on pc (all programs) and dvd palyers

    I have burned a small project including a picture slide show some music and a voice over that I created in FCP, rendered, compressed (creating aiff and mpeg2 files) then used dvd studio pro to create a dvd. The audio and video stick, click, and crackle when on a pc and in certain dvd players. The WMP is updated and the players are not very old. WMP does not recognize the play button on the dvd menu either. I've tried setting DVD studio pro preferences to double pass, different dvds, rendering it before compressing it with compressor which was set to best quality 90 min. It plays ok on macbook pro. Please help

    I'm also having the same issue. Here's my specs. Let me know if you're experiencing similar tech specs so we can sort this thing out!
    Problem: Suddenly started getting skipping/crackling/clicking
    Noteworthy:
    1. This started happening suddenly. The only changes I've made are:
    1a. Ran out of "Apple" 4x disks and tried Verbatim 4x and Verbatim 16x (from the Apple store) disks.
    1b. Recently updated OS from 10.4.3 to 10.4.9
    2. Disks play fine in my Mac using DVD Player. Problem is only on my consumer player (Panasonic, aprox. 3 yrs old)
    Testing...
    1. I've tried various compression levels, 1 and 2 pass VBR and constant bit rate. (Using Compressor and/or DVDSP)
    2. I've tried using iDVD
    3. I have not yet tried burning from a disk image and forcing a reduced burn rate.
    4. Tried using a small piece of software called Visual Hub
    Specs:
    OS 10.4.9
    DVDSP 3.0.2
    Compressor 1.2.1
    Length: I'm burning only a 2 min demo reel for my business (http://www.antifreezedesign.com) It's not a long program.
    Frustrations:
    I can't upgrade DVDSP. Why can't we buy DVDSP standalone?! Does Apple think we're all video editors?
    Questions:
    1. As I test this out, can anyone help me understand the relationship between Compressor, DVDSP, and iDVD? Is testing different schemes in Compressor the same as testing them differently in iDVD or are the all accessing the same "encoding" software behind the scenes?
    2. Is there any connection/possible conflict to Quicktime that I should be aware of, or is this an unrelated piece of software?
    3. Is it advisable to re-install any of the software? I'm having trouble finding the 1.2.1 update to Compressor 1.2 that I have on disk.

  • Audio/Video stuttering/halting problem - mouse interaction

    Hi all -
    I’ve been experiencing a problem since I updated my MBP to 10.4.8: stuttering audio and video. Any audio (iTunes, Flash w/ audio, Quicktime w/ audio) doesn't play smoothly - it halts for a few hundred milliseconds, plays, halts, etc. In some cases, it causes the audio and video to lose sync.
    However, as long as I keep the mouse moving, the stuttering stops. Also, it matters which pointer device I use. I generally use an external USB trackball, and when that is plugged in, the audio stutters at a noticeably different rate than when the trackball is unplugged. If I am using the integrated touchpad, the stuttering is much worse (longer gaps in playback), but it’s still the case that as long as I keep the pointer moving, the stuttering stops.
    From this, I conclude that it’s a mouse problem that is somehow interfering with A/V playback. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a different diagnosis and/or a solution?
    Macbook Pro 1.83   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Puzzling, the USB Bus would seem to be the most likely culprit here, are you playing back files from the internal drive or an external one ?
    Have you tried removing / updating the trackball software ?
    (I suspect something is hogging the bus cycles - trackpad, ball, mouse, isight, IR etc. are all USB devices)
    In System Preferences/Keyboard & Mouse/Trackpad have you got 'Ignore accidental input' checked or not ?
    Maybe try a reset of Parameter RAM ? (Apple/Option/P/R at start and wait for three chimes before letting go)

  • Audio/Video Stutters on GT627 laptop

    I had no problems whatsoever with my laptop for about two months.  However, recently when I am listening to music there is extreme stuttering every time I open up a web page or a new program.  I've noticed that videos and games stutter as well, even when the system is completely capable of playing them.  I still have Vista Home Premium that came with the laptop.  I see that CPU usage jumps temporarily to 100% when opening a new web page.  I never checked this before but I assume this can't be normal.  I've updated all the drivers from the MSI website, which has not fixed the problem.  Vista is also completely up to date.

  • ITunes/QT/Audio/Video Stuttering Fixed!

    The problem is with QuickTime and the fix is to downgrade your version of QT.
    1) Download Pacifist to your Desktop.
    2) Download the Quicktime 7.3.1 installer from Apple downloads to your Desktop.
    3) Double-click the Pacifist dmg and install Pacifist.
    4) Open Pacifist. Click 'Open Package' and navigate to the Quicktime 7.3.1 installer dmg on your Desktop.
    5) Once the package is open, click on the 7.3.1 installer package and click on 'Install' in Pacifist.
    6) Making sure you 'Use Administrator Privileges,' answer all questions about replacing the exiting package and files in the affirmative.
    7) Once Pacifist has finished, no more stuttering!

    It's good that you found a solution, but since going back to iTunes 7.7 both my laptops stream music over airtunes without missing a single beat, no matter the CPU and network load. This tells me that there must be a problem with iTunes 8 as well.

  • Audio/Video (Adjustments Disabled)

    I have a PHOTO that cannot be edited (in the Adjustments window it says Audio/Video (Adjustments Disabled)), everything in edit greyed out. Previews are enabled and all other photos are working fine.
    If I duplicate this picture (remember it is not a video please) I get the same problem with the new file.
    The image is a TIFF file created from a RAW master. This image is a vital aprt of my business collection but I cannot export the version in any format as the option to alter the export type is also locked and the file simply exports as the tiff file.
    Any ideas? I am really stumped with this one and whilst I have seen it before, it was never this important.
    Thanks
    Iain

    Hi léonie
    All badge Icons are standard
    The file type is blank, and interstingly the camera and lens info says unknown despite the file's master CR2 raw file showing it.
    If I go to edit by photoshop for example, the photoshop option is mssing and Aperture just says edit via external editor whereas with normal working files the photoshop option is there.
    The TIFF was generated by Colour efex pro 4. I use this consistently without drama. This is the only file with the issue.
    No, the search for the file as audio or video does nto reveal the image in a smart album.
    Scary stuff this.... if it happens more often I am in trouble!
    Thanks

  • ITunes 8.1.1 TV Shows Video Stutters but Audio plays properly

    I upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 hoping to fix a problem I was having. When I pay TV shows that were purchased through iTunes the audio comes through properly but the video lags and jumps. If it is a SD video the lag is a "quick blink of the eye". If it is an HD video it can take several seconds for the video to catch up with the audio, looking like the video has frozen.
    • I am using an iMac G5 with OSX 10.5.7 with 2GB DDR SDRAM 2GHZ PPC
    • The problem occurs if I open the video with QuickTime too.
    • The files are all held on an external HD; but when I copy a file over to the main HD, it still happens.
    • I've deleted all iTunes plist files and there are no 3rd party apps with iTunes.
    • I'm reinstalled QT 7.6 instead of just upgrading it.
    • I've done permission repairs and had 3 issues that were not able to be fixed:
    "Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/quota" has been modified and will not be repaired. Warning: SUID file" usr/bin/quota has been modified and will not be repaired. AND Warning: SUID file "sur/bin/rsh has been modified and will not be repaired."
    • The video stuttering also happens with movies that I make in iMovie 9.0, although all the files work fine on my iphone/youtube/other computers.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?

    Hi hockeymom3,
    Have you installed any QuickTime components? If you have, try removing them and testing again.
    They are generally located in /Library/QuickTime(Launch Finder> click Go> Computer> Macintosh HD> Library> QuickTime) or ~/Library/QuickTime(Launch Finder> click Go> Home> Library>QuickTime).
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24166 describes similar issues with Intel Macs caused by 3rd-party components.

  • Video stutters and audio is delayed after upgrading to iTunes 11

    I'm having a major issue with video playback.  The audio is about 10 seconds behind video playback.  The audio also stutters.  Is anyone else having this issue. SO ANNOYING!!!!

    Solved it.
    I had a program running in the background, which did not get picked up by MSCONFIG.
    I looked at the services on CCCleaner and there they were, many instances of this program, slowing the
    computer down and preventing other programs (including iTunes) from functioning.
    Turned them all off, and iTunes and all other pgms work again.

  • QT audio and video stutters in WinXP - IE7 and Firefox - DSL

    Every time I click on an audio or video link on a webpage, QT Player opens to play the file. However, every file it opens - audio or video - stutters in a specific pattern. Each segment (chunk, packet, whatever the unit term is) repeats four times before the next one begins. This renders all files unplayable. Reinstalling has not solved the problem. I'm running the latest updated version of the QTPlayer. I don't know the number, but it updated last night, 3/9/2007.
    Anybody have a solution?

  • Big issue on audio/video reproducing after Windows 10 installation

    Dear All,after I've installed windows 10, I was not able anymore in reproducing mp3 and mp4 files with the message regarding audio/video boards as probably not updated and the code 0xc00d11d1 (0x8007007e) after I'm making attempts in launching files.Obviuosly everything is correctly updated as I've checked on HP/nVIDIA/IDT codec sites and drivers updated for the windows 10 64bit version.Are you so kind in helping me with this important trouble?Thank you in advanceBestPas

    You are totally right.
    I have a Spectre 13 Ultrabook and HP tells me that everything it's ok for the upgrade.
    FALSE.
    After the upgrade I also found that audio was corrupted and after a quick google I found I was not alone and that IDT seeems to be unsupported.
    Whatever.. if it can help you, reinstall the driver but chise to select the new driver among the one already on your pc.
    At this point install the High Definition driver.. NOT the one previously installed.
    It worked for me to get the audio back... not sure about the quality because after 3 hours I went back to Win 8.1 because of the miserable value of Windows 10.
    Let me add that the care of HP for the existing customer willing to migrate is at least superficial

  • Unlink Audio & Video greyed out in Premeire Elements 13 (Windows 8.1) [new user]

    I posted (or at least I thought the post worked) this question Mar.27th but I can't find it or any replies I may have gotten so if anyone knows its whereabouts I'd appreciate you're telling me how to see it so I won't have 2 threads running for the same question. My question is: why is the option to unlink the audio and video tracks greyed out when I'm trying to substitute part of an audio clip (without ruining the synchronization between the existing audio and video). I'm working with a saved "projectX.prel" file. I noticed when I opened a new project that the UNLINK option is active. This seems contrary to logic i.e wouldn't the unlink action be more likely to be needed when working on an existing file as opposed to when working on a brand new file? How can I separate the 2 components (audio & video) so I can edit just the audio clip without the UNLINK procedure working? Would really appreciate any help anyone can offer with any of the foregoing. Thanks.

    garryw
    Thanks for the reply. Glad that suggestion C worked for you.
    Is there any remote possibility that the video and audio are really unlinked to start.
    Let us take suggestion A, you say that Link Audio and Video is active choice for what you believe to a linked video audio on the Timeline.
    You have your clip in the Expert workspace and the clip is not selected as represented in screenshot 1.
    If you click on the Video 1 portion of the clip, does the video portion and audio portion highlight to look like what you see in screenshot 2
    where the video and audio portion both look highlighted.
    Or, if you click on the Video 1 portion of the clip, is it just the video portion that looks highlighted and the audio part
    continues to look unhighlighted? As seen in the next screenshot 3?
    Depending on your answers, we may next delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file which can be found
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    13.0
    and in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file which  you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 13.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that you can see the complete path given.
    As your schedule permits, looking forward to learning of your progress.
