musicman130 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Tonight I set up the show and ran it through so that I could watch it and listen and make sure everything was how I wanted it. When listening to it, I noticed that there was a "scratchy" sound during the songs. It would play fine, then have a little scratch type sound. It did this on ALL the songs. My thought, when I transferred the wav files, there were problems, so I ran just the audio through WMP. no problems with the sound. It sounded PERFECT. So, this leads me to believe it's 1 of 2 things. It's either that something is going on with the show in LOR (version 1.5.0 still since I never use the computer other then for the show) or it's just something with the computer. I am using windows 98 SE on it and using the LOR USB adaptor.anyone else have problems like this before?Side note, I ran the show using my laptop, no problems with sound at all, it is windows xp and 1.6.1 version of LORThanks for any help,RobEdit: I am using the Ramsey FM30B for the FM transmission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightORamaDan Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Within LOR we tell Windows Media Player (WMP) to play the song and we rely on WMP to play it correctly.I am not sure... If you are not at version 9 of WMP on the show machine then try a upgrade. This advice is not based on any real information but it is the only thing that comes to mind.Hopefully someone else has better advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman130 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 Unfortunately, this did not work. I'm wondering if it's windows 98SE causing prolems with the USB hooked up for the LOR and thus causing some problems with audio since the audio is really controlled by LOR.I'm running an Athlon 1500+ with 640 meg of memory, I think, so it shouldn't be a problem at all with those specs.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Fischer Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Are you playing the audio through the sequence editor or the show controller? How fast is the computer?-Tmi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman130 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 running the show using the schedule editor so that it will start automatically at the time it's supposed to.As far as specs: I'm running an Athlon 1500+ with 640 megs of memory on windows 98. Only thing that's loaded is the LOR tray thingy and the other "necessities" for the computer to run.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightHouse Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Are you getting the scratchy sound directly out of the computers speaker or when you listen to it over the Radio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman130 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 never plugged in speakers to it. only the transmitter. It sounds fine with just the wave file playing, but when I actually use LOR to play the music and control the lights, I get that sound. that's why I figured it wasn't the transmitter.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westport Lights Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Electrical interference of some sort between the controllers and the transmitter? It's only a guess, but try moving the transmitter to a different location and plug it into a circuit that is not running the controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman130 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 Well, it's not on the same circuit as anything but the computer. The transmitter is as far away from the computer as that audio cord that comes with the transmitter will allow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aksnowman Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I had the same problem and it turned out that I had the volumn to loud on my laptop. After I turned it down it went away.It's worth a shot??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman130 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Would have been, but now the computer has no audio. Windows got corrupted, somehow and I don't remember how to get on the internet with win 98 anymore. It can see other computers on the network, just not get on the internet itself and thus I have no sound drivers.So we put LOR on my dad's computer to run the show and there is no problem with the sound. It must be that computer, that's all I can think of at least.Thanks for all the help though everyone.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
