help?
  Windows XP  

hi y'all!
if you've got an itunes version 5.0.x or 6.0.x, you need to try the QT 7 version of the waveout setting fix.
for that (and several other things worth trying), see:
iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Songs and other audio don't play correctly

  • My iTunes sound is messed up and I can't fix it!

    iTunes sound is horribly scratchy, the equalization is way off and everytime I try and fix it (reinstall, go back to an older version) it gets worse!
    Please help.

    Next to try is this, a poster named chiefhabeb fixed it by the instructions here

  • SOUND IS MESSED UP, PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!! BASS EFFECT HAS GONE !!!!!!!

    Hi,
    so i was listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers (Oh yeah !) on itunes on my Macbook Pro (Mid 2010 model, OSX 10.6.7) and the sounds working fine, then suddenly the base effect just went and it's like it's being played on an ipod. I then went onto youtube to see if it was just itunes that was messed up but then the same problem was happening with all the sound on my computer. I then went into system prefs to see if there were any options in there but there wern't. I've already searched for an answer on here and it's not the same sound problem where people can't hear voices on movies properly. I think i'm going to see someone at the apple store soon but i just thought i'd put it on here aswell to so if anyone knows why this is happening.
    If you have any further questions just ask me.
    Thanks,

    Are you using headphones? Does it only occur if using headphones?
    If yes:
    - Try another set of headphones
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • My Itunes library is messed up. Wong titles. Wrong albums. Wrong everything. EX. I play a song by avenged sevenfold but then it plays a song by eminem. Song titles dont match what they play and neither does the artists name

    My Itunes library is messed up. Wong titles. Wrong albums. Wrong everything. EX. I play a song by avenged sevenfold but then it plays a song by eminem. Song titles dont match what they play and neither does the artists name. Can I restart everything from itunes? I know this sounds cunfunsing, (and it is) but yeah.
    Once again to try and clarify, The song(which itunes says is by artist,band,person, etc) is mixed up with another song out of my libary.
    If there's something you dont get ask me!!! thanks

    I'm experiencing the same issue. Not only do I get a messed up library, but since I've let iTunes handle my music files, they too have been shuffled around - placed in different album folders and sometimes given names of other songs... With quite a large library, the cleanup makes me feel a bit like Sisyfos pushing the rock uphill - it's a never ending story. Only positive side of this is that I get to play a lot of music quizzes while guessing who plays the song that is disguised as eg. Buddy from De La Soul, and then afterwards try to track down the real 'Buddy' as this has also found another folder to hide in...
    Shazam has come to the rescue a few times so far...
    @Apple: this is just not good enough!

  • ITunes Sound

    My iTunes sound isn't working. It says it's playing the songs, but no sound is coming out. The weird thing is my speakers work otherwise, like when I'm watching a movie. It's only iTunes that's messed up. It stopped working when I tried to download a program that would transfer my music from my iPod to iTunes (which didn't work). But after I tried that is when it stopped playing my music. PLEASE HELP!!!

    So i used to be able to play itunes music will
    playing Counter Strike just fine...but now with the
    new version it like speeds up the music and makes it
    sound fussy...even when i open websites like myspace
    or facebook...it acts up for a bit...anyone else have
    this problem...or know what might be the problem? I
    have a fast computer so I don't understand what is
    goin' on?
    I am having the same problem as well with any game i play eg:WOW, CS, Quake4, etc...

    the volume slider does work fine tho..

  • Satellite Pro - Slow start up and sound is messed up

    I have had my *Toshiba Satellite Pro* with *Windows XP* for a good few years now. She has always worked like a gem and has given me no problems until a few weeks ago.
    A few weeks ago I was downloading a program and with it came the very unwanted and unliked "Antivir Solutions" virus. I did everything I could to get rid of this disaster (thanks to the help of support forums) and I think I managed to get rid of it, but ever since then my computer has not been the same.
    I was having trouble downloading a PDF document a few days ago and it froze so I tried to restart which caused the computer to have a hissy fit, deleting my user account which meant I had to set all that up again from scratch. And, now, the computer takes a good 45 minutes from the time you press the "ON" button to when it is ready to start working. Not to mention, it takes a good 10 minutes each time you click an icon for the program to actually start..
    I have tried defragmenting the system and have tried uninstalling unused programs to speed the computer up, but it hasn't worked.
    I have also run several antivirus programs (such as Norton, AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials) to make sure I have no nasties messing me up, but they come up clean.
    May I also add- The sound is messed up also. Whether I use the inbuilt speakers or external speakers the sound is disjointed and broken. As is any Video I play.
    I just don't know what to do.
    I cannot really afford a new computer, but I need my computer to be reliable. I use my computer for 12 out of the 24 hours in each day...
    *What can I do?*

    Hi nicoletrist,
    I dont know what notebook you have exactly but I think the slow Windows start is caused due the viruses that you have or had.
    Few years ago I had also a virus and it was causing a very slow start up, it did take up to 10 minutes until Windows was loaded and the only solution to get rid of this was using Toshiba recovery disk.
    I would recommend the same to you. Use the Toshiba recovery disk to restore factory settings and backup your data because everything on HDD will be deleted.
    Im sure after using recovery disk your notebook will run like a charm again! :)

  • My sound is messed

    Like the sound is not good when I type a wired sound play over the no all typing sound  like right now I am typing and the sound is messed up,even without the headphones

    Try a reset.
    Reset 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.

    did not change my configuration, no update, no new programs
    When I use itune, the sound is malking some "tic" "blick".. like on a old tape or disc (or intersideral "zic" there is 3 or 4 diferent noise).
    After some sec or min after one of these sound, the itune sound stop but the song continue to play. the small noise are still there but no music
    If I pause the song and push agin on play it's ok, If I start a new song it's ok.. some sec and no sound one more time. song are dowloaded from Itune or compressed from CD.
    The same with only flu radio.

  • ITunes sounds funny with a twist

    I am currently using iTunes 6, but the problem showed up when I upgraded to iTunes 5.
    Videos played through iTunes sound funny (garbly, underwater). This applies to all music videos, trailers, pixar movies etc. in the music store.
    However all songs in my library and 30 sec. song samples sound fine.
    I downloaded a pixar movie & it sounded funny also. I then tried playing it with quicktime and it sounded fine.

    hi gpman!
    hmmmmm. apologies that this is taking a while. still trying to get to grips with the video sound issues. (i may be behind on the state of the art with this too ... i haven't been able to get out to the other forums to check on developments there.)
    let's see if the bluezdawg tweaks have some success in your case:

  • ITunes sound completely stopped

    The sound on my iTunes stopped in the middle of playing music.  It hasn't worked since.  I've checked all the sound controls. I've rebooted my computer.  I've watched an NBA game on broadband - sound worked for that.  Youtube sound works, other videos, too.  Just not iTunes sound.  Not from my music collection, or from sampling songs at the iTunes store.

    iTunes has its own volume control, an unlabeled slider in the toolbar of the window. Move it all the way to the right.
    If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes, deselect it.

  • Itunes sound and Media player sound

    Perhaps this topic has been posted dozens of times but still I got a question.
    I believe that media player has a very neat and nice sound while iTunes are more loud and not so deep. even if I make equilizer default. So the question.
    Is it possible to male itunes sound to be so nice as Media Player?

    I am not sure if there is an answer to your problem, but in the past I felt that both WMP and RealPlayer had slightly better sound than iTunes.
    I did find that updating my audio drivers noticably improved the iTunes sound, so that is all I can suggest.

  • ITunes sound improvement

    I like iTunes for its great sortng features but I don't like how it sounds. I believe that Aimp player sounds the best of any player I've used. Who I can address that could help me to make iTunes sound as perfect as Aimp player ?

    yes. I have compared them. I don't know which sound engine Aimp uses but it is really great. I wish itunes sound that sweet.
    Thanks for the link. I've sent my feedback. Hope it will work.

  • Itunes sound awful

    I deleted and restarted my computer and downloaded the newest itunes you have. The fact remains... itunes sounds awful.
    I currently use windowsxp player 10. I want to use itunes Everyone else in house uses itunes. When I use the Windows 10 player it sounds fine. I cannot play anything on itunes that sounds half way decent. It sounds tinny, rocky, gravelly more one sided than the other. I have had my sister look at the preferences and they are set exactly as hers are set. No my settings aren't maxed out either.
    I can take the same mp3 and play it on itunes and it's bad and play it on window player 10 and its fine. I have just gotton 3 itune music cards and want to download some songs and use itunes. Can someone help and explain it to me how to fix it?

    we had better check on the usual suspects with that from the following document. (if you've now got an itunes 6.0.5.20, you'll need to check the QT 7 sound out settings rather than the QT 6 settings. restart itunes and/or QT after applying any settings changes.)
