Wine: audio clips in some programs

Hi,
I installed wine for kicks so I can throw out Windows. I found that some apps in Windows that play sound have their audio clipped, while others (I tested with Winamp) is perfectly fine. I tried all 3 audio drivers (ALSA, OSS, Jack), and I have alsa installed. Is this common or the way this app is coded? Any way to fix it?
Thanks.

Does it happen often with the same applications?
Do you have 'Full' hardware accelerated sounds on in your winecfg?
Do any audio specific errors or warnings come up in the console when running wine?
There are a few programs where I have sound issues that are unavoidable, but the vast majority of them work fine.

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,
Michael

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 would dragging certain audio clips (or cutting said clips) cause program to crash?

Amateur Doug here!!!
In CS 5.5, when I highlight and drag some audio clips, the program freezes and won't shut down unless I power off. Ditto when I cut the clips to paste elsewhere.
I rebooted, same result.
I made a duplicate sequence same result.
I tried to cut the clips, same result.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated, because each experiment requires waiting for computer to reboot so it might be days before I find a workaround...

I got help for this issue over at CreativeCow's FCP pages -- it turns out, all I had to do was open a new project using an easy setting and project setting for vanilla PAL 25 fps SD stuff. All of the audio was correctly brought in -- then I disconnected all of the clips, made them dual mono, reconnected them, and copied them over to my old gristly project folder.
Now I can marry these dual mono 25fps files to the video files without having FCP incorrectly compensate for "30fps" by speeding these clips up slightly, so things stay in sync.

Audio doesn't work on some programs after boot (sometimes)

Check new message dated 30.06.2014
Hi,
I'm having a weird problem. After booting my computer, the audio sometimes works perfectly, sometimes not at all, and sometimes it works on some programs but not on others. For example last night audio played without problem on Chromium, VLC and Amarok. Today after boot it played on VLC, but not Amarok (didn't realise to check Chromium), and now after reboot it plays on VLC and Amarok but not on Chromium.
Chromium means YouTube (HTML5) and others (Flash).
My DE is KDE (was xfce4 with mostly same audio trouble). Soundcard is USB DAC (SMSL Fort) and on KDE's Audio and Video setting I have it listed at the top and the "test" button works (i.e. it plays a sound).

I think that you have multiple sound devices and their boot order changes after each reboot.

Audio Clips de-normalizing after program shutdown

Recently I have been having trouble with my audio files in Adobe Premiere CS6. I will normalize all of the audio clips in my track(s) and everything will be fine. I will then close the project and come back to it at a later time to find that most, if not all, of the audio has reverted back to it's de-normalized self. I am saving my projects actively so I know that is not the problem. Has anyone else discovered this problem? And if so, did you find a solution?

Yes. For example: Clip A will have a peak amplitude of -13.9db. I'll normalize it and it'll adjust to -7db. Save the project, close out, then come back a couple of days later and Clip A will have reverted as if I never normalized it. However, not all of my clips will revert. Some will remain normalized so I have to go in each individually and normalized it again, rather than being able to select all and normalize. Is there any other alternative to normalizing a clip, or even an entire sequence, other than my process and the "Normalize Master Track" option under the 'Sequence' tab? When Normalize Master Track I receive an error message "The selected audio track cannot be normalized to the requested level because it would require track keyframes greater than 0 dB."
I'm new to Premiere. Just made the switch from Final Cut and Avid over so I'm still unfamiliar with several things.

No sound from some audio clips suddenly

Made a 55min movie from multiple video clips and narrated with several audio recordings and added music tracks as well, suddenly some audio clips after the first 30 mins show up blank, when viewing audio waves and their volumes are set fine. Other audio clisp in between works fine thou.
Found this after having exported and shared to iDVD, Audio wave files and Media files seems fine in the project folder/content. what happened and have could I possible recap output from these clips again?
BTW HD ***** on sound facility and sometimes disstores sounds during playback when a project gets too large, sometime after saving project and emptying trash, it might work again for a while
Googled around for few days now with out any solutions, any hints?

Hi stefw,
I assume you've already done the following:
(1) Make sure the audio checkbox is selected for the track you want to hear. The audio checkbox is to the right of each track in the timeline viewer.
(2) If the audio checkbox is selected, then choose View > Show Clip Volume Levels and see if the audio levels for the tracks are set to a level that can be heard"
If so, this is what I'd try.....with your project open, start an new, empty project. Go to the original project and copy one of the clips (highlight it and then FILE....COPY.) Go to the other project and click in the second line of the timeline and click FILE...PASTE. Make sure the audio checkbox (on the far right) is selected for that line and attempt to play it in the new project. If it works, drag it back into your original project and try it from there.
If that doesn't work, look for the. aiff files in the original project file in Finder (find the file, right click, choose "Show Package contents", then look in the media folder.) Drag that file into the new project and attempt to play it. If it works, drag it back into your original project and try it there.
Hope it works out for you.

Imovie shaking with some audio clips

I am putting together a slideshow of photos with music. The first two audio clips work fine, but when the third plays, the slides seem to shake (the counter runs slightly slower than normal). I erase the clip, added other clips, but still at this point I get shakiness. Any ideas?
mini

Hello, kuhlmac,
Welcome to the discussions. If you do a search in the iMovie discussions for audio problems, you will find many posts addressing this common problem.
Some of the problems with audio clips have to do with the format of the clip. iMovie seems to work best with AIFF clips and does not do so well if the music is in any other format. Some of us don't have too much problem, but mp3s can be a problem. Also, if the song has been purchased from iTunes Music Store, it may not play well in iMovie. If the song you are using is purchased, you will need to burn it to cd and reimport it to iTunes to get it usable in iMovie.
I have also used WireTap to record the music I want in my iMovie and import the AIFC file that WireTap creates. If you want to explore what this app can do, look here

Some audio clips suddenly grayed out, waveform disappeared, not working

In CS6 on my MacBook Pro, I was all done editing several sequences and exported them via Media Encoder so that I could have video files to upload to the web. When I looked at the final video files that came out, 4 out of the 6 were missing the audio from the A1 track. I went back into the project file and found that the audio seemed to have disappeared from those particular sequences. The waveform no longer appears and it's grayed out. This is very strange since two of my sequences were fine and exported correctly.
I was able to double click the original audio source files in the project browser and the audio played fine from that. I took a clip from the source file and dragged it into the affected sequence and that particular clip's audio played fine too. The audio files are all .wav format.
I read other posts about similiar issues. I tried cleaning my media cache database. I also tried deleting preferences using Shift+Command when opening Premiere. I really don't want to have to go back and find all the audio clips and drag them in again!!

i'm afraid i don't have a useful answer for this one...
if the POD has level controls of its own (knobs, sliders, whatever), what you're seeing is generally the normal condition:

perhaps someone else has an idea why this worked before.

How do I stop background audio clips from playing while browsing sites?

Firefox is my default browser. I use Google chrome and Internet explorer sessions for background monitoring news site sessions at the same time. I have no problem with the other two browsers. While surfing with Firefox I get unwanted background audio clips that start and run by themselves. I cannot stop them. They run and then stop by their self. They are some sort of adware and I cannot find the source to remove them. I also get video clips sometimes that I can stop that run around the outside of the active window I am viewing. These is very annoying. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but the problem does not go away. I antivirus software, registry change protection software, and registry cleaning software. The problem is with the default browser.
How can I locate and remove the plugin, addin or service that starts this annoying activity. I have no special unwanted toolbars installed. There is nothing in the installed programs list in the control that shouldn't be there.

I had a similar problem to this. EVERYTIME i started firefox, it would play an audio clip from a flash game i played a while ago, it would last 5 minutes before finishing. i tried the starting in safe mode, but that didn't work for me, so after that i then tried RESETTING firefox, and that has worked for me.
On another side of startup problems, firefox would also open up a new tab on startup, usually 22find.com or do-search.com. i know these are caused by a virus and have since deleted it, but it had changed a preference file in firefox causing it to continue to open on startup.
Having since done the firefox reset, i haven't had either of these problems AT ALL! would recommend this as a possible fix for you friend before trying any lengthy troubleshooting process or downloading any extra anti-virus removal software.
here's the like to showing you how to reset firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems

How do I lock Audio clip at playhead in iMovie

Hi,
I have been using iMovie HD for years. Great program. Finally had to move on to iMovie 10. What a total disaster that is. I have a myriad of issues with it, as does everyone else, but right now I am trying to figure out how to lock an audio clip at the playhead, as one essentially needs to be able to do for even pretty simple home movie edits. Am I being stupid or has this functionality been entirely removed by some genius Apple programmer? Why do I get the feeling that what used to be a brilliant and intuitive piece of software has been completely eviscerated to the point of uselessness?
Any ideas? Thanks
Richard

No, it's not been removed. You just need to drag your audio clip to the right place.
In your case, you want to drag it directly to the timeline and not to the background music well below the timeline.

How to send FCP edited audio clips for processing in Soundtrack?

Hello
How do I send just the edited audio clips from hour long files to be processed in Soundtrack from Final Cut?
I need help as I'm trying to adjust some edited audio clips in Soundtrack Pro but when I send them from FCP to Soundtrack - it opens the whole original audio file and then any adjustments I apply in Soundtrack are being processed over the whole audio file not just the short edited audio clip that I want to adjust.
Normally I don't mind as my scenes are usually short and Soundtrack analysis over the whole scenes audio is usually desirable, but this projects files have been transfered from tapes as hour long AVI files (all the tapes clips transfered into one hour long files) and every FCP edited audio clip I send is being treated as an hour long audio file in Soundtrack.
I'm sure there's a simple answer for settings but I haven't been able to find it. Any advice appreciated.
Barra

Thanks Javi, my sequence is an hour and half duration so what I'm trying to do is save processing time in Soundtrack by just processing adjustments on the few audio clips that need processing.
I have set Soundtrack to open referenced audio only and with 5 sec in and out handles, but it still imports the whole original audio file into Soundtrack timeline upto the selected clip, I then double click in Soundtrack on the clip in brackets, and it then selects just the audio clip I want to adjust, then Soundtrack will just process on the edited clip but when I 'render to action' it seems to apply changes to whole original audio file - taking longer than I want.... frustrating
Also the sound always sounds very different in FCP than Soundtrack even after 'rendering to action' and rendering in FCP... this is not the easy workflow I expect from such expensive software programs, I understood that they work together in a fully integrated way, what's the problem! This is wasting my precious time and preventing me from editing not helping me, this is a common problem and yet I can find no help in the user manual - I'm not impressed!

Adding audio clips in 30 second intervals

Hello,
I'm new to Adobe Premiere Elements and I'm glad to have found a forum with folks who have such extensive experience and knowledge about Adobe! My situation...I would like to add audio clips ("beep") every 30 seconds to a video. (I want to collect data from the video.)
What is the best (and easiest) way to do this?
Thank you in advance for your help!!
mlv

One can add a Marker by tapping the * key on the numeric keypad. You could do this every 30 sec. (you can drag any about, if you miss the cue). Then, I'd use a "beep" SFX file, and place one at each of these Markers. If you have an SFX file that has any pre-roll in it, first thing that I'd do is alter it in Audacity, or any sound editing program, so that the actual "beep" comes at the very beginning of the Clip, and do a Save_As, then Import that edited SFX file.
Here is a list of possible sources for SFX (and music) files. Many are free, and some are for sale:

Audio clip will not adjust ???

I can not make my audio clip move to the location I want....every time I move it the clip immediately returns to the beginning of my project. I want to start with some dialogue and then have music begin about 30sec. into the project but no luck.
This seems to contradict what the help/instructions say Imovie can do.
Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
CT

You can move voice overs and sound FX, but not music.
iMovie iOS is really just a basic editor.
Try a more featured editing program if you want to do more then just small quick edits.

Make two or more audio clips into one

Hi,
I want to fade in an audio track but don't have a long enough piece of audio (without dialogue) to do it.
So I've copied and pasted two pieces of audio onto the time-line.
How can I make the two clips into one?
Thanks,
Michael

Thanks for the reply.
But what I need to do is make several separate pieces of audio appear as one piece.
This is called "heal" in some programs.
Instead of seperate pieces you have just one, which is a composite of those pieces.
I believe it can be done in Premiere by either nesting or exporting.
Michael
P..S This is not for music BTW but just for some background ambience.

Question...audio clips being cut off

Hi...just started having this issue...audio clips, usually less than 20 seconds, are now being cut off at the last few seconds of the clip. Can't figure out wny it is happening or how to correct it. If I select Edit, Play Original, I can hear the full clip.

Welcome to the PPRO forum, soneman28. We're going to need some more info.
What version of PPRO are you running. Exactly (e.g., "6.0.5" or "7.0.1" = good; CS6 or CC = not good)
exactly what kind of clips? The file type. The audio codec. And their source, too.
if they're A/V clips (as opposed to audio-only), have you messed with the frame rate through the Interpret Footage dialog?
Do you hit this problem both in the Source Monitor and with clips that have been added to a sequence (i.e., playing from the Timeline/Program Monitor)
