ATV slideshow music is distorted

I can play music from the ATV through the connected receiver and it sounds fine. If I play a photo slideshow with the same playlist in the background, it comes through distorted. The receiver is showing the input as maxing out.
Is there a setting someplace to correct this?

Perhaps something here will help:

Music is distorted

Hello,
I was trying to update my music library yesterday after the uploads I made I wanted to listen the songs on my device (Iphone 4S) but the sound of music was distorted, I was hearing small overlaps.
I've tryed to Restart, it didn't worked, then I got into the forums and tryed all I've found (Reset = lock+home, restore network settings, restore settings) but none of these workd, so here I am asking for your help.
The problem is only in Music, no other player (youtube, soundcloud) was having this issue.
I am afraid to restore (delete) all the settings and content because I do have important notes and contacts.
Thanks a lot for your time,
Adrian

Yeah sorry. by restarted I ment restored, and also
now that Ive been messing with it more I have noticed
is I have my headphones in listening it sounds fine
until I tip it one way or another instead of leaving
it on a flat surface.
That seems like a problem with connections of the earphone jack inside the iPod.

Front Row Slideshow Music Problem

Hello:
I have been unable to change the Photo Slideshow music in Front Row. I go into iPhoto, select SlideShow and select my music, but it does not seem to save it to Front Row. I've even tried making my selections as "default" but it doesn't work.
I've tried repairing permissions on my disk, and there do seem to be problems with Front Row. However, no matter how many times I repair, the permissions still persist. Log file below
Can anyone offer any tips to a newbie (recently switched from a PC.)
Thanks,
Dan

Thanks; that's a relief, though the permissions that are referenced in the thread you pointed out (that can be safely ignored) seem to me mostly related to iPhoto Access and not Front Row (I seem to have both Front Row and iPhoto permission problems.)
So, can anyone offer any suggestions on how to change my music in Front Row's Slide Show?

IPhoto 5 slideshow music still available after upgrade to iPhoto6?

I've just upgraded to iPhoto6 and see that the default slideshow music has changed. I'd still like to use the iPhoto5 default music - does anyone know if this should still be available?

iLife 6 installs a new bunch of sounds, tunes, Garageband loops, etc. as well as the older ones. I believe you will be very impressed with the assortment that Apple provides (/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects Folder). I know I was!

HELP! Why is the music sounding distorted

Hi there, so i put on all music on the ipod, and two days later it is sounding all distorted and garbled, do i have to take it all off and start again? This ipod nano sure has its imperfections...thanx

The equalizer might be on.
On the nano, even if the equalizer is set to off in the iPod settings, the equalizer setting in iTunes is used. If you have a track in iTunes with a custom EQ set to, say, "rock" the iPod will use rock. It may sound fine though the computer speakers but not so good though the earbuds.
Not all iPods are consistent about how they use the per track EQ settings from iTunes. On a 5G iPod, for example, setting the EQ on the iPod to off means it plays everything flat.
You could try setting the EQ on the iPod nano to "flat" while the song in question is playing. If that clears it up you should set that song to use a flat EQ in iTunes. Then it will always play like that on the nano.
Most modern music doesn't need equalization and adding it usually makes music sound distorted and garbled.

Slideshow music from iTunes

I can't see separate tracks in my iTunes (5.0.4) library when selecting background music for an iPhoto slideshow. I have tried the two options suggested in iPhoto Help (on involves recreating the musi9c library), but neither resolve the issue. I can see and select separate albums within the library, but can't see or select specific individual tracks. Any suggestions?
Richard

HI Richard,
Take a look at the links and video clips to see if they might help.
How about these screenshots...
1. Playlist menu
2. Library Menu
3.Move dimple down
4. Click Playlist
Or this screenshot

Slideshow music option "stuck"

Oddly, I'm unable to open folders or files from GarageBand demo songs or iTunes (library or playlists) when selecting music for a slideshow. All was working well until today after I added a new batch of photos. If I click on the iTunes library icon after selecting the "music" icon (in slideshow), no listing of song choices appear (as before, when all worked well). Instead the first song in the library just begins playing. Same with playlists or GarageBand demo songs. No song names are displayed -- only the first selection plays after a double click (and subsequent songs play as well in each list). The "find" function in slideshow music seems stuck too. Type in a song name from the library, hit return or the play arrow and I still get just the first song in the library list. I tried quitting iTunes, iPhoto, etc. as suggested in "help" but that didn't solve the problem. Nor did rebooting (twice) help. Am I overlooking something obvious, or are more sinister forces at work here? Suggestions welcomed!

PFChi:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's a little dimple in the horizontal bar below the window with the iTunes library icon. Click and drag down to reveal the playlists and individual tracks.

Slideshow Music not remembered??

Hey gang-
I'm running iPhoto '08 7.1.2 on my Intel iMac running OS 10.4.11. For some reason, iPhoto will not remember Slideshow music assignments. When I click the Play button for an album, I get this message "The music you selected can't be found or can't be opened".
The good news is that if I click the Music pane in Slideshow settings, the music can indeed be found and played every time. But it seems strange to have to assign the music each time I play the slideshow. Any thoughts on how to get iPhoto to remember music assignments? Thanks!
Dave

Dave:
You are clicking on the Save button in the Setting pane, right? If so and it's still not remembering the selection delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and then try again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Using Airport Express and music sounds distorted.....

I just hooked up my airport express to my whole house stereo and the music sounds distorted. I've adjusted the volume on the amplifier, the room volume control and the computer volume control.....and it still sounds distorted. Any ideas on what I can do?

Temporarily, plug a pair of headphones into the AirPort Express and check the sound quality. It is OK, you know that everything is working through the AirPort Express.
Often the audio plug will make poor contact with the audio jack on the Express which can cause a hum or intermiitent audio signal. Wiggle the plug around to see if this might be the case. You may need to try another audio cable.
Make sure that you are not plugging into a PHONO input on the amplifier. You would want to use AUX or CD or even TAPE would work if you have an older amplifier/receiver.

You can't use multiple tracks. Merging them into one, using something like Audacity is the way to go. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Slideshow Music doesn't play in iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks 10.9

After ugrading to Mavericks 10.9 and then to iPhoto 9.5, music from playlists in my iTunes 11.1.2 Library doesn't play in iPhoto slideshows. Music shows up in the iPhoto Slideshow Music menu OK, but won't play there or in slideshows themselves. Both worked fine in OSX 10.8.5 and iPhoto 9.4.3.
Oddly enough, the built-in Sample Music and Theme Music from the iPhoto Slideshow menu DO work!
Anyone else having this problem? Any fixes. Am holding off upgrading my other computers, since I do a lot with slideshows, and this is a big problem for me.

After yesterday's OSX update to 10.9 and the subsequent iPhoto 9.5 update to 9.5 I also have the same problem:
Music for old existing slide shows from iTunes can't be played back.
When changing the setting for the slide show length to be set by the playback time of the music, iPhoto crashes.
When trying to add iTunes music to a slide show the preview function does not work.
iTunes songs can be added to a slide show. When playing it back the songs will however not play.
To rule out an issue with my iPhoto picture library I did the following - sadly still yielding the same erroneous behavior:
Created new iPhoto library.
Imported 10 picutes.
Created a new slide show with said pictures.
Tried to add iTunes music: preview does not work and added song don't play when slide show is played back.
