Cracking and hissing sounds on I tunes/I touch

Can CD's be played if purchased from other than the Itunes store? I have several new CD's purchased from Amazon way before I had my 4th generation ITouch.
I've tried to convert it to the Apple extension while being downloaded from the CD to the Library. No problem with mp3's. All I get is a hissing, popping, cracking sound while the song "plays" its full length. Same thing when I sync it to the ITouch. (the cd plays fine out of the computer and win's media)

I have some photos from my holiday on each device. I want to put all the photos into a folder on the PC and then have only a small selection in a 'holiday" album on each device, it can be the same selection on each device
I've tried syncing the iPad with iTunes but have ended up with 2 of everything on the iPad. Some photos are labelled "123" whilst the other copy is a. .jpg
The instructions were obviously written by someone who knows what they're doing with no ability to explain it to someone who doesn't.
Hence I'm here trying not to lose anymore of my photos.
Thanks.

ITunes playing music - pops, cracks, and hisses

I've been playing my iTunes library for years now, but have noticed something THIS MORNING.
I try to play any song I've had since forever and I hear audible anomalies like pops, cracks, and hisses.
I try playing the same mp3 in Windows Media Player and it sounds fine.
What's the deal? Is iTunes divorcing me?
help!!!

OK, so now we know it is a Quicktime problem not iTunes, I wonder if it has got broken in a subtle way.
It might be worth trying a removal and reinstall of Quicktime.
Download the stand alone version of Quicktime (without iTunes) from here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now remove Quicktime using the method here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
ONLY do the Quicktime part.
Next install the stand alone Quicktime.

Fizzy and hissing sound when using earphone...

I have a Macbook Pro 13 inches 2009. I use my earphone to listen music. However, when I don't play music, I can hear a fizzy and hissing sound from my earphone. I tried to use another one but there is still fizzy and hissing sound when no music is playing. I can hear that even clearer when my room is silent. I feel really annoyed about that sound.
If anyone knows how to fix it, please let me know. Any helps are appreciating...
Thanks.
Vu Dinh
P/S: I'm not sure if it's a software issue or hardware issue.

The problem is when I dont play music, there is still fizzy and hissing sound on my earphone. Only when I play music, the music is louder than that sound so I just hear music in that time. However, when I dont play music, there is always fizzy sound on my earphone. I already said it always happens when I put my earphone jack on Macbook Pro.
I want to know if there are any ways to fix that... It's really annoying. It's not silent at all even there is no music. Always a fizzy sound on my earphone.

Cracks and popping sound: A never ending sto

A few years ago i had few cumputers (always custom made) in which i always used the same SB Li've! 3.0 card (Windows 98 SE). Worked like a charm without any problem.
Then i upgraded to Windows XP and the problems started. I still kept using that SB Li've! 3.0 but i had cracks and pops in about every sound environment i used (games, CD playback etc). In the end, i got rid of the SB Li've! 3.0 and started using the onboard sound from the motherboard (ASUS at first). This was a RealTek AC97. All problems gone, no cracks, no pops, just great sound without any problems.
I did upgraded again, now to an MSI motherboard also with integrated sound (RealTek AC97). Just as with the ASUS, not a single problem soundwise.
Then a few days ago, i decided to look for an add-on soundcard again to reduce the CPU workload a bit. Guessing the old SB Li've! 3.0 and XP didn't go along fine, i went for cheap SB Li've! Audigy. Disabled the onboard AC97, removed it's drivers, installed the Audigy without any problems, updated the Creative drivers to the latest version and rebooted my system... guess what... the cracks and the pops in the sound are back in about every sound environment i use.
Today, i reverted back to the AC97... No more cracks and pops!!!!
Since i used a varity of hardware with various chipsets which all worked fine as long as there was no Creative soundcard involved, i can only conclude that your product has some serious problem (and regarding the same remarks made on various forums, i'm far from the only one). I tried about every solution i could find, without succes until this date.
Therefore, i decided that this will be my last Creative product ever bought.

Well, i got it working. I tried about everything i came accros (IRQ settings, PCI latency and stuff like that) but nothing really helped. Forcing IRQ's in the MB's BIOS didn't help and Latency was AOK.
Then i did read here somewhere that you can change your computer setting from ACPI to Standard PC in the device manager and that this helped. So i checked that but i could not change to a Standard PC like mentioned in a previous topic. Since i'm planning a complete re-install when my new Videocard arri'ves this week, i thougt "what the heck", let's do some extra testing. The only thing i could do was uninstall the ACPI driver. I did this, rebooted and i had to set a few settings (video and stuff) back to my settings because they reverted back to default. Also, every hardware on the USB asked for a re-install. Since everthing was still install, this was a piece of cake.
So after removing the ACPI driver (although the device manager says that it's still an ACPI PC), and resetting a few setups + re-installing a bit of hardware, i tried and soundcard and BINGO!, no cracks, no pops, no tics anymore. Sound is just as smooth as a baby's ass now.. :-)
BTW: For those interrested in my setup: MSI K8T Neo motherboard, AMD Athlon 3000+ 64bit, GB Ram, GT6600 256MB DDR3, SB Audigy LS, 200GB SATA Harddisk & a 40 GB HD on IDE as back up, Plextor CD 6x burner, HP printer, Cougar stick and throttle (modded), TrackIR, etc...

Video record voice problem and hissing sound

every time i record a video on my iphone 4s, my voice is very low and there's a hissing sound but the sound trouble didn't occured when calling, voice note or using my earpod. please help me

Hi NaqibZulkifli,
If one of your microphones works fine, but the other doesn't, make sure nothing is blocking or covering the other. For example, make sure the top microphone isn't blocked by a case, cover or anything else.
iPhone: Microphone issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5183
Make sure nothing is blocking any of the microphones (refer to the pictures below to find your device's microphones). Check for these:
Dirt or debris
A screen protector or case
When you're holding your phone next to your ear, make sure you don't block the microphone with your fingers or shoulder and make sure to speak into the microphone

TS1630 speaker on iphone5 are crackly and distorted sounding

speaker on iphone5 are crackly and distorted sounding

When back and looked at the speaker and the front internals were impressing upon the cap cover?
So I got another speaker to try again and see a difference? This time it checked out! (seems the original was bad and the previous alternate speaker I tried was not working either.
Just pass this on for anyone else.

Audio drops and cracks and odd sounds upon export...

working on CS4, on my mac powerbook.
upon exporting the audio has issues it doesn't in the project editing/CS4.
I've used crossfades, exponential fades to be specific... and even when I delete them, I have issues with clips I've never used them on.
the issue is the audio at the start of some of the clips drops low and then, after a second or two rises to the level it was set at.
I thought I was finished and only want to out put this cut to watch, make changes and be finished... I could really use some help on this... ugh.

well, I export it thru Premiere Pro CS4 and cs4 sends it to Adobe Media Encoder CS4.
I've found if I delete the fades and do it manually it seems to fix the issue... and the crackaling seems to be from the audio level hitting the red.
I'm still playing with the issue and have yet to export the entire document so I'm not sure my work arounds will work.
I'm still puzzled as this has NEVER happened before and I've used the same footage for smaller projects.

So i have an AMD system running windows 7. Now whenever i scroll through my music or playlists in itunes my music suffers severe cracking and popping sounds. It also happens when i am scanning photo's and editing them not sure if that helps. I am at a massive loss in why this is happening i have tried rolling back audio drivers and what not any solutions?

hi i just like to say i had a similar fault though i would be surprised if it causing yours,but you never know,my fault was my laptop lid, [9 months old] it contains the mic ,and when the lid was in a certain angle crackles could be heard worse when i had my external sound card in, it was a faulty membrane [ lid to body] easily missed by engineer because it was the same angle all the time it happened,good luck, PS you English is very good

Cracking and popping so

Hey I am running the latest drivers. I have a X-Fi Fataty. and i am running Vista 64 bitAny one else getting VERRY BAD stuttering, cracking, and popping sounds in games?Titan quest for example on the main menu is COMPLETLY HORRIBLEWorld of Warcraft is doing the same issue. I didnt have this issue in XP?for Kicks i have tried moveing the card?to all my differnt PCI slots. and yes i am running ALchemy on TQ and WoW.

I have the same problem but I believe it is a Vista-64 issue not a Creative issue. I tried using my onboard sound instead and same problem. I have an nVidia 7900GTX on a 945P motherboard. The problem only happens in graphically intensi've tasks for me.

My sound always makes this funny like hissing sound is that because my screen is cracked?

will some one plz help me find out wether its because my screen is cracked or weather its just the general ipod thats making the sound do a funny kinda hissing sound when i have the volume no matter if its my musicc or wot it does it
some one please explain to me it would be a big help i dont fancy payin for screen fixin to fix ma sound and it been nothig to do with that.

First of, are you playing this through a pair of earphones? If yes, your pair of earphones is probably busted already. Try playing with the plug and see if moving or positioning it would eliminate the hissing sound.
It can also be a matter with the tracks you have especially if they are not original content as there could be ones with low quality which in turn gives some weird sound you hear on the background.

I placed my ipad on top of my CPU with a music playing,i heard a crack on the sound and when i checked it,i can no longer hear a sound playing on my ipad.i tried to check place a headphone its still playing a sound but when i pull it out,wont play at all.

I don't know if this will work but it's worth a try. I wonder if somehow you ended up with a short inside of your iPad. Give the things below are trying to see if that helps. Good luck.
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

HT4528 Sound from the built-in speaker badly cracks and breaks

Hi, I need a help on trying to figure out what's wrong with my iPhone 4..
I've had my iPhone for about a year, without any major issue. But recently I noticed that the sound coming from the built-in speaker cracks and breaks to a point it barely makes any proper sound. The weird thing is that this happens only for alarm, text/phone ringtones, and during calls when I try to use the speaker.
At first I suspected it was the hardware issue, but when I play music it works just fine. I tried restoring the phone, but that didn't fix the problem.
I'm thinking about taking it to Apple store or Verizon, but my Apple warranty seems to have expired and I don't know what Verizon can do to help. I should still have the protection plan through Verizon, but it doesn't cover much.

Hissing sound with wi-fi and power adapter connected

This is quite annoying - when the power adapter is connected and I have a w-fi connection to the internet I get intermittent 'hissing' sounds - however when I remove the lead and run off the battery this no longer happens. Does this happen to anyone else?!

What problem are you having ?
If you have the 'this iPad hasn't been backed up' message on screen and you can't remove it try a soft-resetave you tried a reset ? : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
When the iPad has restarted you can then force a backup via Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Back Up Now

Carbon X120A7 not rebooting -hissing sound and blinking tool bar and keys

Might not make any difference but would clicking this help if it isn't?
Also, I wonder if it is Pandora or other 3rd party apps that are interfering or taking over.

Cracking and popping noise Sound Blaster x-Fi Platinum Running on Windows 7 32 Bit

Hi everyone, I am using a x-fi platinum card and it simply wont work with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit. I have been using both windows 7 public beta and release candidate for last 8 months. Let me give you my PC configuration.
Intel Pentium D 3.4GHz
2GB DDR2 Memory running in Dual Channel Mode
ATI Radeon HD 4670 Video Card With 52MB DDR3
It has a built in sound on mother board (Disabled at the moment)
With the above configuration I tried using my x-fi platinum on both Windows XP and Windows Vista, and it worked perfectly without any problem. When I upgraded to windows 7 beta for the first time with the creative beta driver for windows 7, I noticed that whenever there is any on screen activity, such as minimizing and maximizing windows, switching windows, scrolling, photo or webpage transition, etc. there are cracking and popping noises. And if there are continuous or too much activity on the screen at some times the sound card completely fails and unable to provide any sound. When I took the sound card out and enabled the on board audio chip (Realtek HD Audio), the sound was fine without any cracking or popping issue. I eventually upgraded to Windows 7 RC and also currently using the latest driver for windows 7 and I am still having the same problem. As a reasult I am being forced to use the on board realtek audio solution which provides really crappy sound compared to x-fi platinum.
It appears that the problem exists only when I try to run x-fi platinum on windows 7. I really hope there is a solution for this otherwise I will have to sell my beloved sound card which I have been using for at least 3 years on ebay and stick with low quality Realtek HD sound system.
