GoPro HD Hero2: Why does the sound cut in and out on all recorded videos?

Tue, 16 Oct 2018 18:21:42 -0700

When I either copy or cut-paste mp4 video files off of the SD card onto pc, all of them readily play back on my pc via various common video players, however the audio consistently cuts in and out rapidly, ie; 1 second of clear audio is immediately followed by 1 or more seconds of silence and that cycles throughout every recorded video. Might there be others also finding this issue and how is it corrected and/or resolved?

GoPro HD Hero2: Camera freezed and wont turn off after 30 seconds of recording

The go pro works fine for about 30 seconds at which point the numbers on the screen disappear except a number two at the bottom left. The only way that I can reset the camera is to physically remove the battery. I've read some forums and it might be the battery but I don't want to buy a battery until I'm certain. I'm also using a micro SD card with an SD card adapter and that also may be the problem.

Camera battery apears to be ok, but camera does not respond to button push to turn it on. Is this likely to be fixable? Camera was connected to a USB port on a Samsung TV to show recording when fault developed.

GoPro HD Hero2: Camera powers up but won't respond or load new firmware.

Go Pro Hero 2 is stuck. Power comes on, display shows video cam mode. Only the power/mode button works to shut off the camera. Must remove and reinsert battery to reset so that it will turn on again.

Tried holding shutter button down while cycling power button to manually load new firmware but camera will not load the firmware.

When connected to GoPro Studio the camera is recognized by the updater and says that an update is available.

I have tried multiple times, with different batteries and SD cards.
