Corrupt Sound Playback when another sound is played in iTunes 7

Latest version of iTunes and Quicktime.
Seems to corrupt the playback if something else makes a noise (like an email notification). Only way to fix it is to pause and then play audio in iTunes.
Very odd and only on my Windows XP machine, not on my two Macs (Mac mini and MacBook).
Just updating the audio drivers for Windows, might fix it - I'll post back if so!

Saying that, it's fixed one problem and introduced another.
I now suffer from the less than 100% volume fuzz bug.
Not so much of an issue though, but it wasn't there before!

  • HT203167 I've downloaded the Now Christmas album, all but 1 song has been downloaded and put in my library.  The list says it's there but when I go to play it, iTunes skips past it and goes to the next song.  I have downloaded lastest version of iTunes.

    I have purchased and downloaded the Now Christmas album to my iTunes libary and all but 1 song have been purchased.  The song appears in my library but when I go to play it iTunes skips past it and goes to the next song.  It wouldn't normally bother me but its the only song my son wants to hear all the time (hopefully the heart strings will be pulled here and someone will reply before Christmas to help me!)  I've loaded the last verison of iTunes.

    Will the media file play with Quicktime Player? If it will then it's an iTunes issue. If it won't then you need to delete the file and download it a second time.

    When I try to play an itunes purchased movie it says I have to authorize this computer. When I put in my log in information it says this computer is already authorized and will still not play the move. I have tried to deauthorize and reauthorize this computer, delete and reinstall itunes and Quicktime and nothing works; the purchased movies still will not play

    I'm having the same problem on my new iMac.  First it tells me it's not authorized to play the songs, then when I enter my password, it tells me it's already authorized, but still won't play them.  I tried deleting a song and going to the store to redownload it and got charged for it!  I've got hundreds of songs, so that's not going to be an option.
    In addition, I have quite a few songs from a very old Apple ID, one I forgot I even had, I have no idea what the password was and no way to have the system send me a new password because I no longer have access to that email account.
    The Mac I just "retired" could play all the songs in my catalog just fine.  This new one won't play the majority of them.
    Help!

  • When I transitioned from a PC to a Mac, I transferred all of my music into iTunes, however when I go to play songs, iTunes tells me it cannot locate the file. What do I do?

    When I transitioned from a PC to a Mac, I transferred all of my music into iTunes, however when I go to play songs, iTunes tells me it cannot locate the file. What do I do?

    iTunes cannot find your music files. Find them on your computer and make sure they're in ~/Music/iTunes. If they are not, then drag all the files into the iTunes app.

    Hi Harry, 
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If you have installed iTunes on your new computer, make sure you have downloaded or copied the songs to the new computer as well. The steps in this article can help with copying your music to a new computer:

    You may also be able to download the past purchases from the iTunes Store:

  • Fadeout iTunes when another sound application takes over

    I like to leave my itunes playing music in the backround while i browse the internet (facebook, youtube, ect...) is there a way to make itunes automatically fadeout music when another application uses sound (like playing a video on youtube).

    First off, I meant to title this "When switching spaces application window is not showing."
    Just in case anyone else runs into this problem or any other weirdness with switching between spaces, the answer seems to be trashing the com.apple.dock.plist file and then restarting the dock. The preferences file can evidentially get corrupted and create some problems. Spaces does not have it's own plist file but stores it's data in the dock's plist file. Be warned that this will reset all of your dock preferences including which apps you have on the dock.

  • How do i change sound settings when i purchase a song from itunes store?

    When i purchase songs from the ITunes store it automatically downloads the songs at 128bps. Well i read that if you listen to songs in your car with your ipod you want to set that to a higher setting, preferably 192bps or higher. Says if you use headphones that that setting is ok but in a car you want it higher because you'll lose sounds quality. I can't find where to change the setting on itunes. I did find import settings on itunes for CD's and i changed that to 224bps but i can't find where to change it for purchases from the itunes store. Can anyone help?

    As noted above iTunes Plus songs can be recognised by a plus sign beside them. If I recall the early launch information the iTunes Plus songs are predominantly EMI releases but other labels may also have iTunes Plus content available now: iTunes Plus FAQ

  • HT1420 I downloaded my first video from iTunes store. when I went to play it, iTunes asked me to authorize the computer. It is already authorized! Now it shows 2 computers authorized when I am only using one computer for my iTunes music and videos. ???

    I downloaded my first purchased movie from the iTunes store. When I tried to play it., I was asked to authorize the computer. I had already authorized the computer to play music, so I thought this was the only authorization I needed. i went ahead and authorized my computer, Now it shows that I have 2 authorized computers! I don't understand. Shouldn't one authorization be enough?

    Hmm,
    This is not a big problem as you can have up to five authorised devices.
    However, if this is a problem you can go to Store, View my Account,
    Deauthorize All
    Then you will have to authorize your computer again.
    Hopefully the number will stay as 1.

  • Stop sound when another sound plays

    Hey guys,
    Using Flash Pro CC 2014, Actionscript 3
    I am working on a soundboard and use buttons that play sounds, and I want to make it that when a new sound plays, it automatically stops the current sound from playing, that way 2 sounds dont play at same time.
    But I also have a button that stops all sounds, I am using the "Click to Stop All Sounds" code under Audio and Video in the Code Snippets.
    So I am basically wanting to make sure I can do both, keep the stop all sounds button, but also have it when you press any sound button, it stops all sounds and starts playing the current button/sound. Any suggestions?
    BTW I am setting up symbols as buttons, not movie clips incase you need to know for coding, but I can switch to movie clips if its easier. I was just used to buttons on older versions of Flash for simple stuff like this.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply, I am new to actionscript 3 but am a fast learner. Maybe I am doing this wrong, but when I add the code it simply stops the sounds, but it wont play the sound from the button that I just clicked on. I want it to play the sound button clicked on, and also stop any other sounds that are currently playing.
    For Flash 8, as2, I would add this to the button:
    on (press)
        stopAllSounds ();
    On as3, does it need to say this?
    button_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToStopAllSounds);
    function fl_ClickToStopAllSounds(event:MouseEvent):void
        SoundMixer.stopAll();
    thanks for your help

    hi JilleeBreeze,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    Can you try the following:
    1. Disable Microphone Boost by opening Control Panel (icon Views) > Sound > Recording Tab. Select the Microphone that you're using then click Properties > Levels Tab.
       - Link to picture
    2. Enable / Disable Audio Enhancements and observe
       - navigate to Control Panel (Icon Views) > Smart Audio and see if you can disable Microphone Noise Reduction, Echo Cancellation, etc.

  • When I try to play an iTunes purchased movie, all I get is a black screen and no sound.  Any suggestions?

    TIA.

    Note that the videos will play fine in Quicktime.  But trying to play the videos in iTunes does not work.  The videos that are sinced will play on my iPhone 4 as well.  Other videos not purchased in iTunes will play fine in iTunes.
    Not above un- and re-installing, but if there is a quicker fix, would prefer that.

  • Sound changes when moving mp3 from quicktime to itunes

    When I move a mp3 from quicktime to itunes the sound changes. itunes makes it sound a little worse from the original mix. I dont think its the equalizer becuase i tried fooling around with that and tuning it off for a better result.
    So the mp3 sounds perfect in quicktime but terrible in itunes whats my problem?

    I figured out that if i bring it into itunes as mp4 instead of mp3 it sounds alright.
    So you are not moving the MP3 from QT to iTunes as you wrote in your first post. You are converting from AAC to MP3.
    i tried to burn it and i think it automatically converts it back to mp3 for the burn
    No.
    If you have audio CD selected in iTunes prefs -> Advanced - Burning, it will convert them to an audio CD.
    It willnot convert any other time unless you tell it to convert.
    is there a way to burn it while maintaining the mp4 quality??
    Select Audio CD or Data CD and it will burn an audio file or the MP4 file.

    Can I get a new download for the special features?

    andrewfromcarmel,
    I experienced a similar issue with 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.
    Several questions:
    1. What version of iTunes are you using?
    2. Is your iTunes library located on a network drive or a local drive?
    3. What error are you getting during the download?
    4. Do you have the ability to try and download the extras file on a different computer?
    Regards,
