Cannot play audio, help please.

when i go to open itunes the following message appears, "itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. audio/video playback may not operate properly". thats all it says, and when it opens and i try to play something it will just not play, the play/pause button will remain the same, the bar wont move and there is no sound.
has anyone else ever have this happen, if so how did you fix it? or if you know how to fix it please tell me. thanks.

I have the same problem. A complete uninstall followed by a reinstall per Apple's online instructions. I did not have this problem prior to the most recent update.

Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

Cannot play audio CD with Creative MediaSource Pla

Hi All,
I recently installed an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum soundcard and the Creative MediaSource Player software. I also purchased Creative 5. Analog speakers. Have everything configured pretty well now and really enjoying the enhanced sounds!
My problem is that I cannot play audio CDs using the MediaSource Player. I can see my DVD Player and CD Player in the MediaSource Player 'Source' column and a list of all the tracks on the CD. (no track info, just track numbers and length)
When I double-click on a track it cycles through all the tracks and then places an 'X' next to each one in the 'Now Playing' list window. If I have other music files from my harddri've available, it will start playing one of them.
I've tried different CDs with the same results.
I can use both the DVD and CD dri'ves to play an audio CD if I use any other player (Winamp, Windows Media Player, etc.) and use both dri'ves everyday for loading software and reading files. It will also read the demo DVD Audio disk that came with the card using the DVD-Audio player they provide so I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the hardware or drivers.
I've read all the info that came with the card and on the Creative Web site and have been through every configuration screen multiple times but haven't found a switch that turns this feature on.
Would like to get this working so I can standardize on one player that allows me to use all the advanced features of my new card.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

A good way to see what kinds of things you might need for something like vlc is to look at the optional dependencies for the package. So if you do pacman -Qi vlc if the package is installed on your system already, or pacman -Si vlc if not yet installed, you can see in the output what kinds of optional dependencies there are. Typically there is a short description of the extra functionality that the optional dependency can provide as well.
So in the case of vlc (and the libcdio optional dep) I get:
$ pacman -Qi vlc
Name : vlc
<SNIP>
Optional Deps : avahi: for service discovery using bonjour protocol [installed]
<SNIP SOME MORE>
projectm: for ProjectM visualisation plugin
libcaca: for colored ASCII art video output [installed]
libgme: for libgme plugin [installed]
librsvg: for SVG plugin [installed]
gnome-vfs: for GNOME Virtual File System support
libgoom2: for libgoom plugin
vcdimager: navigate VCD with libvcdinfo [installed]
xosd: for xosd support
aalib: for ASCII art plugin [installed]
libmtp: for MTP devices support [installed]
smbclient: for SMB access plugin [installed]
libcdio: for audio CD playback support [installed]
ttf-freefont: for subtitle font
ttf-dejavu: for subtitle font [installed]
opus: for opus support [installed]
libssh2: for sftp support [installed]

Pages died today. Just downloaded the latest update 2 days ago. Last night shutting down my very new MacBook Pro, Pages stopped shut down. Today Pages will not open, all my Pages docs cannot open. Help please! Anybody have a fix?

Pages died today. Just downloaded the latest update 2 days ago. Last night shutting down my very new MacBook Pro Retina, Pages stopped shut down. Today Pages will not open, all my Pages docs cannot open. Help please! Anybody have a fix?

You probably have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 in your Applications folder, will open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them. It can not open Pages '08 files.
Pages '08/'09 in your Applications/iWork folder which can not open Pages 5 files.
When you were shutting down you probably had an unsaved document open.
You probably are opening the wrong versions of Pages to open the wrong document format.
Pages 5 has had over 90+ features removed.
Most users are going back to Pages 09 whilst Apple sorts this out.

IOS 6.0.1 Safari won't play audio files. Error: "Cannot play audio file."

I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6.0.1, now Safari won't play audio files in any format. Error: "Cannot play audio file." Previously, it worked fine. I tried downloading and using GoogleChrome and Opera Mini, and these also won't play audio. What's up??

Solved the problem. It seems that once iOS 6.0.1 installed, it caused all of my browsers to mishandle audio files. When I reset the iPad, that cleared up the problem.
Before upgrading to iOS 6, my browsers would "autoplay" the sound files. After iOS 6, "autoplay" is disabled so you have to manually click play to play them.
Nonetheless, everything is working fine again except for "autoplay," which I can live with.

HT2045 I bought a song, which played on my computer. When I tranfered it to my IPod,only the first 30 seconds of the song plays. Help please!

Please help me. I bought a song which played on my computer, but when I tranfered it to my IPod, only the first 30 seconds of it will play. Help please. Is there a way I can contact Apple to complain, because I'm not paying $1.29 for the first 30 seconds of a song. Or is there anyway to fix it? (note: i have already synced my Ipod and it has the latest version of ITunes)

Im having a similar promblem! Only its doesnt work on my Itunes library and the song ends at 49 seconds. Have you fixed your problem yet?
p.s. my discussion is on the following page but no one has responded yet as I only just posted it.

Flash won't play audio. Please help!

To anyone who can help,
Flash won't play audio in Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc. Downloaded audio plays just fine but I can't stream any flash audio content. Does anybody have any solutions? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm experiencing the same problem on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. If I go to YouTube, I don't get audio. Other websites are fine (I'm not seeing a pattern on exactly which sites). What I had to do was uninstall Adobe Flash (I used the Adobe Uninstall utility). Now I have audio on YouTube, but now I'm getting a lot of 'missing plugin' messages from other websites. I've opened

Cannot play audio CDs in totem

I have totem-gstreamer and the gstreamer plugins for cdaudio, cdio and cdparanoia.
I am in the audio and optical group.
The permissions of my cd-rom are as follows: brw-r----- 1 root audio 22, 0 2007-08-06 22:35 /dev/hdc
The audio CD appears as an icon on my desktop when I insert it.
No other audio application is running.
I can play audio cds using the cdplay program cdkit provides.
But, when I start totem the option Play Disc 'Audio CD' is greyed out.
I've tried turning HAL off and restarting totem to no avail.
I've tried totem-xine and still it does not work.
The only thing that does give some food for thought is that when I kill gnome-vfs-daemon the option "Play Disc "Audio CD"" disappears...
Help!

Hello arbee,
It seems certain that the problem lies with your CD player. It is well-known that many older CD players will not read CD-R discs. If you look at this two-year old discussion you'll see what the issues are for someone who had a similar experience to yourself.
This discussion also suggests that you might get better results from using a higher-grade burning programme, such as Toast -- but nothing's certain.
Best wishes,
Martin

Cannot play audio files

So I cannot play songs on my iPod but the audio on my movies are working fine. Does anyone else have this problem or do you know what's wrong?

Hi!
I created a new thread about this as I was thinking one should not pick up a Solved thread, but it was shut down and deleted as I was breaking policy rules.... sorry about that. I will just unsolve this thread and pick it up again:
I continue to get an error with playing audio that says in Exaile "playsinkX" where X is a number starting with 0 and increasing with one for every time I try to play a audio file,
and in Xnoise "GstError parsed: configured audiosink audiobin is not working." VLC works fine however.
I have the latest gstreamer0.10-plugins installed.
If I keep on rebooting, one time now and then it works, but I cannot seem to find a solution to what makes it work or not.

Cannot play audio from macbook pro 2009 to tv using hdmi with adapter

MacBook Pro 2009. I cannot get audio from my my macbook pro to tv using an hdmi adapter

That is because the 2009 MBP does not support audio via the minidisplay port. You will have to tap the audio output port for audio and use the RCA audio input connections on the TV.
Ciao.

After update, cannot play audio cds (via kscd or dragon player)

Hello!
Subject says it all.
I just did a pacman -Syu on my system. Afterwards, I am now unable to play audio cds.... nothing happens.
I insert a known-working cd in drive, and I don't get any sort of device insertion notification from kde. Fine, no big deal. But when I open kscd, and hit the play button... nothing happens. Same with dragon. What happened? And how to fix?
Many thanks!
