Question

Sound Distortion At Streaming FLV start

Hi, I've created a streaming flv that plays ok using a standalone player (Riva) and on my local server and web site.

However there's a bit of sound distortion at the very beginning of the stream when played on my local server (this distortion is not in the flv).

I''ve been assuming that it has something to do with the buffering?? but I can't seem to see any options to fix it. I'll gladly post my code... but I'm not even sure what code to focus on.

This occurs regardless whether the audio comes directly from the flv - or if piped through a sound object (so the volume can be adjusted). If anyone thinks they know the cause of this distortion - I'd really appreciate some advise.

Thanks kindly,

    Hi Jay... you're clearly the guru here since I see you do most of the posts.

    Actually it's just a video player - so no mic. and the sound is more like a scratching & poping. It also doesn't happen the first time the page with my player is displayed... only if I refresh the page several times when connected to my local FMS.

    However I tried to reproduce this on my web site with Influxis FMS... and it doesn't seem to happen.

    So, I've decided to not worry about this anymore - and assume it's just some strange artifact with my local setup.

    However I do thank you for your reply.
    Cheers :)

    I seem to remember a similar problem from a post a while back... it turned out that the problem was caused by invoking the netstream.publish method before attaching the mic to the stream. The result was sort of a clicking or popping noise, but it didn't happen every time.
