Buzzy audio

[Brain Champagne]

On one clip it sounds buzzy. I tried reducing the volume but it still buzzes on peaks (and this is a clip recorded by a professional videographer).

When I play it it Clip mode, sometimes it buzzes and sometimes the audio is very clean. In Project mode it's buzzy and the rendered version (avi file) is also buzzy.

Any ideas? I left Windows MovieMaker for this program specifically due to audio issues...

I am not sure if it is the same sound you are hearing, but I have in the past found that when I captured a DV/AVI video using the Type 2 DV Encoder, it would get 'zzzt' sounds at irregular intervals -- and I could only attribute it to the Type 2 set-up. This main happened when I captured the video using another editing program such as Adobe Premiere which works in Type 2 DV...

Video Studio seems to work better with Type 1. I can only suggest that (a) you could try re-encoding it with the Type 1 encoder (though I have never done that...); or else, (2) if it is a discreet sound which you can somehow capture as a separate burst, then extract the entire audio file from your video, run it through an audio editing program such as the freeware Audacity (which can capture the individual burst) and then get Audacity to filter out the sounds. This would, however, distort/dilute tose parts of the audio over which the problem sound plays...

When I have had this in the past an updated sound driver usually fixed it up. You don't mention what sort of sound device you have so I can't give specific advice
