  • LOUD Audio blasting out of my speakers in trim mode

    Posted by Ken Jones on December 8, 2009 at 6:25 pm

    I have had this problem in the past but it seems to be getting worse/happening more often. Whenever I am in trim mode in FCP the audio sometimes go berserk around the trim point. It blasts a bunch of VERY LOUD digital noise out of my speakers and doesn’t stop until I hit the space bar to stop playback. I then try to trim again and it acts normal. It doesn’t happen on a regular basis but it scares me to death every time it does it. Maybe it is a problem with audio output on my Blackmagic card?

    FCP 7.0.1
    Mac OS 10.6.2
    Blackmagic Decklink Extreme (7.3.2 drivers)

    Toggle the sound Output preferences in your System Preferences (not the Blackmagic PrefPane…the System PrefPane). I was getting similar sounds when I first installed the drivers, this fixed it.

    The audio likely goes through some command in the software. That is a mode you enter… sort of like an applet. so ask BM about this… I can say I don’t have the problem with AJA or Matrox products I have around here.
