I can't open itunes because an error pops up saying, itunes can't run because an error has been detected with your audio configurations. What is going on!

that message is usually caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)

I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

Itunes starts but fails to open due to audio configuration problem

Hi
I have been running itunes 7.1 quite successfully until today. Running on windows xp/toshiba laptop.
Problem occurs when i select itunes on desktop, itunes appears on task bar below, after a number of seconds the following error message appears "itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration", once I click ok on this message itunes terminates.
No changes have been made to my audio configuration (to the best of my knowledge), i can run Windows Media Player and that works fine, so too real player.
I reinstalled itunes, but this did not resolve the problem. I also ran itunes from another logon on my laptop and that presented the same error. I checked all my audio settings in the control panel and also ran the diagnostics on each device and all appears to be fine.
Has anybody faced the same issue, and could anybody advise on any diagnistic tool that could assist in pinpointing the configuration problem?.
Thanks

Hi
Got it resolved, thanks for the prompt responses all!.
Resolved by removal current version of Quicktime thru the control panel (add/remove programs), and then reinstalled from the website.
Phew!

Error message after upgrade to iTunes 11: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." At this point my PC running XP loses all audio.

Several attempts to upgrade to iTunes 11 have failed. After an upgrade to 11 the error message reads: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." At this point--after the upgrade to iTunes 11--my PC running Windows XP loses audio playback for all functions--in iTunes, in the browser and the volume icon disappears from the System Tray. Only by removing iTunes 11, and then using System Restore to turn back the OS settings can I return the PC to normal functioning.
I did that. I reinstalled iTunes 10.5. Everything seemed fine, but when I try to plug in and copy a CD to my iPhone 4S an error message reads roughly: 'iPhone 4S requires iTunes 10.5 or higher to work.'
What might be the problem with my audio configuration?
Why doesn't my iPhone 4S work with iTunes 10.5? It used to work with iTunes 10.5.
Please advise.

Problem with audio configuration after upgrading to iTunes 7.5

After being forced to upgrade to iTunes 7.5 (when downloaded a new song form the Music Store), an error message is displayed when I launch the application, "ITunes cannot run becuase it has detected a problem with your audio configuration". The application exits immediately.

Failure to launch...audio configuration issue!

I just upgraded to 7.0.2 and now iTunes will not launch. When I try to open iTunes I get the following message: "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration."
This has never ocurred before and I don't know how to fix this annoying problem. I've tried a few of the troubleshooting options but none of them worked.
What should I do???
Dell Inspiron 6000 Windows XP

"iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration."
that one is typically associated with a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
so let's first try swapping out your QuickTime.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

"Out of memory" message when trying to copy audio configuration between songs

Hello again,
Any suggestion welcome about how to do paste an audio configuration successfully in 9.1.8. Here both the source and target songs are quite light stuff, 20 tracks, not much automation, never more than 3 inserts. The computer has 16 GB of Ram. Not sure if Logic X has the same problem but I can't afford to switch just yet. Please help if you can... Thanks !

Mbelekete,
Although I am in 64 bit mode,
Are you sure? Go to Logic Pro's menu bar, About Logic Pro and check the pop up widnow for it to actually say 64bit mode as some people have reported unchecking the 32bit mode option in Get Info but Logic continued to boot up in 32bit mode usually because of a permissions issue with their Applications folder.
Anyhow.. assuming you really running Logic Pro 9 in 64bit mode
Logic only uses more memory when it needs to do so... such as when loading in large sample libraries... for example. so by default it will only use, say 3GB of Ram itself upon start...
Safari caneasily use more memory depending on for example, how many tabs you have open.. what the websites you are viewing use.. such as HTML5, Java routines.. Flash etc.. and so on.... So its not so strange really.

Itunes will not open b/c of Audio configuration error

Itunes will not open. Get error saying "Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration." Whats weird is that I haven't changed anything since I last used it (yesterday night). What should I do?
Windows XP

I had the same problem and had just recently upgraded quicktime. When I followed the instructions on this thread I also made sure the version of Quicktime I installed matched my iTunes version. You might try that.
It did work for me. I'm wondering if the update to Quicktime caused my problem.

Itunes unable to open because of audio configuration

I recently installed windows updates for XP as well as itunes updates. Ever since then I receive the following message: "itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration."

Thanks!
