Crackling Sound with Itunes

After giving up with pci-e extreme audio because of latency issues, I bought the pci-e fatalty pro pci-e. One of the problem is, there is a crackling issue when i stop and play another playlist in Itunes. You can fix it by changing modes.(i.e from entertainment mode to audio creation mode) but then again after you change playlists, it does it again.

I am unsure if this will help you or not. Itunes has an add-in setting which in my opinion only, may be similar to our using CMSS3d with our cards, etc.
Disable the Sound Enhancer feature in iTunes:
1. Open iTunes.
2. One the Edit menu, click Preferences.
3. Click the Playback tab.
4. Deselect Sound Enhancer.
and now see if you get the same crackles pops or sound playback problems. I disabled that setting on mine from the beginning, but hopefully you can toggle that setting and see if that helps you.

  • Crackling sound from iTunes (iMac/10.7)

    I've seen some reports of crackling with audio in iTunes from Windows users.  I've noticed in the last few months (pre Lion and post Lion) that my iTunes occasionally but not always has a crackling sound with the music being played.  This doesn't happen with other apps (Spotify/EyeTV).  I can hear the crackling, play a different app with no crackling (same song on Spotify shows no issues) but iTunes persists.
    Anyone else?

    I've noticed over the last two months the same thing. I've been using iTunes for many many years and never had a problem. I am running Mac OS 10.7.2 on a 2010 27inch iMac and have ripped all my CDs which there are over 10000 songs in different bit rates. 256/320 and Apple Lossless. I only appear to have the crackling at 320 bit rate which is odd and its not every CD. I have tried re-ripping but the same issue persists. What rate are yours at?

  • My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
    Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • No sound with itunes? why?

    i have no sound with itunes but other programs i do have sound. why and how do i fix it???

    hi nike!
    here's the catch.
    This is on my work station that has windows 2003 installed.
    I am running i-tunes 6.0.4.2
    the first thing i usually try on a "no sound" with 6.0.4.2 is a careful standalone QT reinstall.
    but there's a new issue afoot where people with x64 versions of Windows (XP or Server) who have Windows Update KB908531 installed can't do a QT 7.1 or 7.0.4 reinstall without erroring out with an 0x80040707.
    here's a Server thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=2344175
    ... and here's an XP thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=2353161
    so what i don't want to do is to take you from a "no sound in itunes" to a "no functional QT or itunes on the PC".
    so, before we proceed, could you check for me if you've got an x64 version of Server, or a more standard one?
    i'm not precisely sure how you go about checking on that one. so if you can't tell from this technique:
    How to find which version of Windows is installed on your Windows PC
    ... can you check in with your IT people about what version is running on your workstation?
    love, b

  • No sound with iTunes 7

    I, too, have NO sound at all now after upgrading to iTunes 7. Not just in iTunes - I can't listen to anything on my computer. From websites, CDs, nothing.
    What happened? Is there some setting that I have to change?

    there is, for before there was this problem too, and i fixed it somehow, but i can't do it again, so now only some of my speakers work, but i will tell you that changing any other seting besides itunes won't help.
    So maybe try to fiddle with itunes settings but thats all i can do, im still tring to figure out how to fix it.

  • No sound with iTunes HD TV Show with Dolby surround

    I bought my first HD Tv Show in the iTunes store. 24 season 7 episode 1 if it matters. When I play the show in iTunes and select the Dolby track, I get no sound at all. If I select the stereo track, I get stereo sound. But that's obviously not what I want.
    My setup: a MacMini with the optical-out connection to a home theater amp.
    If I listen to a .avi file with AC3 audio in QuickTime or FrontRow, with the help of the Perian plugin, it works fine with the Dolby surround sound. So it's an issue specific to iTunes HD content.
    I tried uninstalling this Perian plugin, I played with the settings in the "Audio Midi setup", nothing helps, I still get no sound with the iTunes TV show.
    Is there something wrong on my computer or it is a known issue?

    I've got the same issue. DVD Player and Perian/VLC are able to output 5.1 over an optical cord to my receiver for DVDs and other files, but not for iTunes HD downloads (neither iTunes nor QuickTime can do this, even with Perian.)

  • Crackling Sounds with X-FI Extreme Mu

    I got a wierd problem.
    I got my new X-FI extreme music soundcard and i installed the cd drivers as usual.
    I rebooted and everything sounded fine. The next day i turned my computer on, i can heard
    a crackling / skipping sound. I do a software reboot (restart windows). And when
    I have rebooted, the problem is gone. This distortion/skipping only appears when i
    start the computer for the first time, i HAVE to reboot to get rid of the problem.
    But if I do a hard reboot (power switch) the problem is still there. Very wierd?I have tried uninstalling, reformating..tried all kinds of drivers. Nothing helps!

  • Speaker crackling sound with media player on Equium

    I have a problem with my speakers, anytime i go to use media player, all i hear is a crackling sound from them, any ideas.

    Hi
    Does the crackling sound appear since a first day?
    Does it happen if you play CD's or watch movies?
    Maybe some codex are missing.
    Did you try to update the sound driver? If not so check it.
    However, I have also read that sometimes a new OS installation could solve such issues.
    I don't know why but possibly some files on the HDD could be damage.

  • Crackling sound from Itunes upgrade

  • Black screen and no sound with iTunes rentals.

    I was going to chalk this up to just a corrupt download, but it's happening too much for mere coincidence now. I rented Captain America: The First Avenger in HD on my Windows 7 machine, only to find that when I tried to play it, I got nothing more than a black screen with no sound. I chalked it up to bad luck and went back to my day, only a few days later, I tried again, only to find the exact same problem had occurred with the exact same movie. I called Apple Support and told them of the problem, and while they refunded my purchases (and gave me 3 free movie rentals), they proposed no solution.
    So I tried renting Iron Man 3 today, and the same thing happened. This doesn't occur with any other movies that I own trying to play in iTunes, just with rentals. I've already tried a reinstall, which did nothing, and I'm out of ideas.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
    Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
    Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
    Great to have the Video back

  • Crackling Sound with Announcements

    Hi. I use the "announce when event occurs" option in iChat. Last night, I did a video chat, and audio chat, and some screen sharing. After all that, the announcements now crackle when they occur. Any idea who to fix it? My speakers are fine, and anything else with the sound is fine, including iChat sound effects.
    Thanks.

    I just bought my Tritton AX720 a couple of days ago. Like you I tried to use the USB cable to connect it to my MB Air in order to communicate via Skype, but I cannot get it to work at all.
    Changing the settings to the C-Media USB Device in the Skype- or System settings doesn't work, all the sound is still played and recorded with the built-in speakers/mic.
    I changed the settings in the Audio-MIDI setup-menue, which resulted in the sound being played via the Headset, but the mic didn't work.
    Furthermore: changing the Audio-MIDI options back to the built-in hardware doesn't work - the sound is still played via the Headset and the built-in mic cannot be activated. Only when i unplug the headset can i use the mic again.

  • For all those with no sound with ITunes 7.0

    I'm just going to post what happened to me. After installing iTunes 7, I could not play any music...the progress bar would sit there, and eventually I would hear a weird sound coming from the speakers.
    I opened up the QuickTime control panel, and went to the Audio tab. I set the rate to 192 Khz (from 44.1) and left Size=16. After applying, I could play all of my music.
    Don't ask me why. I just hope it works for others.

    I have a WinXP PC and a Linksys G class router. I am on Comcast broadband cable. Both ATV and PC are on wireless link. And I have tried a borrowed Apple Airport router (G class). That didn't help resolve this problem so far. I don't think it is a router issue as you will see that many folks on this forum have the same problem with a wide mix of environments. Many of them are on pure Apple components and so one cannot blame Microsoft and non-Apple devices.
    Having said this, I hope the new router resolves your issues. In my case, the only option left is to keep calling Apple Care.

  • Crackling sound with Flashplayer 10

    I have a major issue with the release of Flash Player 10. I
    have over one thousand sound files pulled into my swf via XML of
    spoken audio which now crackle with the new version of the player.
    My developers tell me that it is to do with the encoding rate
    being 48Khz and when they tried one at 44Khz it was fine. Obviously
    I do not to have to re-encode all of the sound files when they
    should be fine anyway.
    Has anyone else come up against this problem and know of a
    solution.

    I'm honestly surprised you didn't have problems before with
    audio files that were encoded to 48K. I have always had subtle
    issues with audio if it isn't encoded to 44.1K. This is the way
    Flash has been for as long as I can remember.
    The only solution I know of is to re-encode all of the audio
    to 44.1

  • No sound with iTunes 12.1

    I installed iTunes 12.1 and it shows the song playing however there is no sound. I have an iMac with Yosemite 10.10. I tried to reinstall it but that made no difference. I am a novice when it comes to computers. Any suggestions?

    I had this issue. My desktop's sound was working, and I could hear videos I played on it. But not iTunes. And the volume measure on iTunes was not down and "off" but right in the middle. So why no sound?
    There is the little "display" symbol in iTunes. It's important to click on the one in iTunes, as I kept clicking on the one on the main menu at the top right corner of my computer and that wasn't helpful.
    When I finally clicked on the one in iTunes it let me know that the sound was on "single" and supposed to be coming through exterior speakers only. These, clearly, weren't on as I was getting nothing out of them. I changed over to "multiple," and was offered choices of where the sound should issue. One was "computer." I and ticked that off and set the volume. And that's how I got my sound back on iTunes through my computer.
