Help Video playback buzz on computer after ICS

Hi All!

Ive just had my s2 connected to my mac to transfer all the videos over. Worryingly, many of them have a horrible audio issue - they buzz, loudly! So loud in fact I have to turn the sound down on my computer!

I noticed that this problem does't affect all videos - only those recored after mid-april, which would tie in with the ICS upgrade.

Given the fact i've a ton of videos from a recent holiday that are totally unwatchable due to this noise, i'm a bit miffed!!

Does anybody have any experience of this issue???

many thanks!
 
Hi - I have just downloaded my videos from the last few months and have exactly the same problem. Have you found a solution to the problem?
 
Eek! I dunno. I've just solved my issue, as your reply jogged me to check something out.
This won't help you much on windows, but,
I had these videos running fine on snow leopard. Bought a new mac 2 weeks ago running lion, and the problem was there.
As apple have just released a new os (mountain lion), and my mac is new, I got a free upgrade.
I've just checked these videos again and they are now perfect!!!

I'll start looking into whether there are any difference in the codecs between lion and mountain lion, and report back, as it could solve your problem.

Btw, I was having this audio problem in lion regardless of the player i was using.

Do you have another machine (or access to one) running something other than 7?? Vista or 8 beta maybe? Is your 7 and media player or whatever you're using up to date?
 
Fingers crossed they work in Windows 8 then, cos I expect ms will be slower to fix than apple. There has to be a difference in the codecs between XP and 7, and osx sl, l and ml.
Gotta be basic as it's only mp4!
I'd tried everything in lion too! Quick time, quick time pro, Windows Media, perian, vlc, MPEGstreamclip and divx - nothing worked lol.
