Distorted sound using Itunes

when I play some of my .mp3 files with Itunes I get some slight disortion in sound. Sames .mp3 files will sound fine ( no distortion) with other players such as Windows Mediaplayer.
Anything wrong with my Itunes??? ( I still have version 7.30.54)

It was the Nvidia graphics driver. I had downloaded a new one a few days ago but it looks like it hadn't installed properly as when I checked device manager it still listed the older version.
Re-installed the new one and problem is sorted

  • ITunes 8 - distorted sound using visualizer

    When I play any track and switch on the new visualizer in iTunes 8, the sound is very distorted...but if I switch to the classic visualizer it plays ok. Also the option to change visualizer settings is greyed out unless set to classic ??

  • Distorted sound using headphones with my iPhone 4

    Hello,
    I have a strange and very annoing problem that I am currently experiencing with my iPhone 4.
    Basically I have a problem where when I insert my Headphones (The Genuine Apple Headphones with Mic) into the iPhone 4, every now and then I hear popping sounds and this also happens when I unplug the Headphones from the phone too. The major problem with this is that when I listen to music the Bass effects seem very distorted, to the point of which you have to turn the music up so loud to fix the problem that it deafens you. If you turn the music down low then all you can hear is a very deep bass kind of sound.
    This problem doesnt just happen with music, its with whatever sound I play (whether from a video on YouTube, or saved on my phone, to Music on my iPhone and sounds on the iPhone itself.).
    I cant tell if the iPhone speakers themselves are distorted however I dont think they are, I have listened to music through the speakers on the phone and they seem to be all OK, although I havent done any proper testing, this problem only occurs with using Headphones.
    I have tried a restore in iTunes and this has not helped. The iPhone is running the latest and greatest system from Apple, in my case as I am writing this it is iOS 5.1.1.
    The iPhone has had a service just recently as the iPhone's home button was not working, but it was fine after that. I have not dropped the phone either.
    Could you please help me?
    Thanks!

    Could you clean the connector with cotton swab?I fear there is debris in the connector.
    If it is the same,I think it should be open for major repair.

  • Very distorted sound since iTunes 7 installed

    I updated to 7 this morning, and now if I play anything (from library or ipod) through itunes, the sound is far too loud and very distorted (all was normal in 6). Sound works fine in all other apps & windows etc. I can play the same tracks in quicktime & wmp and they sound fine - it's just in itunes.
    I was using soundcheck. Turning this off/back on has no effect. I did a 'repair' of itunes & still the same. I'll try a re-install.
    Anyone got the same or had anything like this before?
    Any ideas?

    I've just managed to fix mine!?! I managed to find this page here....
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610
    ...and made sure the settings were correct (the 'Sound Out' looked wrong on mine, so I set it as shown) and now it's OK again! None of the settings had changed since 6, so it looks like itunes used to ignore those settings, but doesn't anymore (?).
    Hope it works for you too!

  • Terribly filtered, and distorted sound from iTunes.

    My songs will play in iTunes, but they sound heavily filtered, and distorted. I tried playing the same original files from the original folders with multiple other media players, and had no problems. I thought I had done something when I was doing some batch editing for genre, eq, and volume settings, so I re-synced my iPod, to see if it inherited the same sound problems. Everything sounds fine, with the iPod, but for some reason, the iTunes software is distorting the sound. I've been through all of the menus, but have not come accross anything that I feel would possibly solve the problem. I even went back, and reset the volume, genre, and eq settings I adjusted for the tracks, still no help.
    What's worse...the next day, I loaded it up, and everything was working again. I had some other stuff to do in my studio, and decided to come back later. When I returned...everything sounded all whacked again!!
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I don't usually post comments, or questions, in forums. feel free to email me, at [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Figment.

  • Fix for distorted sound in itunes ver 7.0

    Right-click your mouse button on the quicktime icon in your system tray, then click on quicktime preferences in the popup menu that shows up,...then click on the audio tab(it'll be on the top next to the other ones)....then change the sound out rates to the following:
    rate:48kHz or less
    size: 16 bit
    then click the apply button on the bottom.
    then restart your iTunes.
    A rather simple fix but it's surprising Apple didn't come up with it on their own. Hopefully one of the Monkey's in charge of coding the most unwanted Quicktime will eventually fix the problem so it supports 24-bit sound.
    lemme know if it works for you.

    I had an unrelated problem that was fixed in a similar way.
    After installing iTunes 7, I could only play Podcasts and Movies. The solution was to go to the Sound preferences, click on the Output tab and reselect a sound output source. iTunes works fine after that.

    Example-CD : "Tracy Chapman , Telling stories" is not able to import . I have more such negative cases. But in other cases it works fine and the sound is great.
    The firmware at the inbuild CD/DVD DS-6E2SH is the latest version.
    What can I do??

    hi b noir,
    I don't no about virtuel drives like you mententioned. In the mean time I have rebooted the XPS and run again the iTunes diagnostics. I think the back - chance in the registry was not ready to use.  Now there are another results. They are the same in case of a running CD or a not running CD. The difference in total is like before. It takes more time that iTunes reads the (bad) CD and at the there is no good sound. In both cases ( running or not running CD) iTunes diagnostics gives as a result :
    (the copie from ITunes shows the result of the not running CD from Tracy Chapman)

  • I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library from my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad  using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
    To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
    You need to have Home Sharing On.
    Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
    Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
    Choose your iTunes' library and have fun.

  • HT4914 Sounds like, because my wife and I have separate Apple ID and separate iMacs, that we would not be able to use iTunes Match as a single unit/account?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you are using different ID's for iTunes, then unfortunately you can't share an iTunes Match subscription.

  • I have an Airport Express connected via optical toslink to a dac/amp in turn connected to speakers. When using iTunes I get message "no speakers connected to Airport Express" and audio sound has drop outs.

    I have an Airport Express connected via optical toslink to a dac/amp in turn connected to speakers. When using iTunes I get message "no speakers connected to Airport Express" and audio sound has drop outs.

    Ok, if you are connecting the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to the existing wireless network, then the DSL in the next room is most likely a combination DSL modem and wireless router. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
    Although they may only be separated by a single wall, the building material used in that wall may be enough to prevent the AX from receving a "good" signal from the DSL router.
    Since I don't know what computing equipment you have available, please check out this AirPort User Tip: AirPort - Optimal Base Station Placement to see if you can get some SNR measurements at the location of your AX. To do this properly, you will want to power-off the AX and only get these measurements for the DSL router.

  • .mov files play w/ distorted sound, iTunes ok

    Newly developed problem, results in distorted audio playback from .mov files when played in Mozilla 3.6, Safari 5, using a mozilla reported 7.6.6 plugin. The same file downloaded and played in QT X is also distorted. However, iTunes audio is fine.
    Here's an example link: http://www.mupromo.com/
    For the record"
    15 inch MacBook Pro (pre-unibody)
    Mac OS X Snow Leopard, fully up to date
    Quicktime 10 and Quicktime Pro 7 installed
    Also, I've done the trick where one moves the plugin file out of, and then back into the Library folder to get Mozilla to recognize the current version.
    Any help appreciated

    My apologies...
    Looks like an odd hardware problem. Turns out all audio on MacBook was affected when playing through external speakers. Headphones work just fine. To confuse things even more, an iPod plugged into the external speakers works just fine. It's only when the external speakers are connected to the MacBook that the audio distortion becomes an issue. Time to lift a ground, I think...

  • There is a very loud, distorted sound coming from my Ipod Nano 7th generation no matter what headphones i use. Any fixes?

    I bought an Ipod Nano 7th generation and out of the box, there was a really loud distorted sound as soon as i pressed play. When i press pause, it stops. If i use a different pair of headphones is does it. So, i exchanged it, and all was good for about three weeks, now even the new one is doing it. The sound is so loud and fuzzy that i cant even hear what the song is supposed to be.

    First, ipod nano 7th gen does not have a built-in speaker. Second, a brand new nano jack is sometimes ifficult to insert, make sure it is fully inserted or flushed to the ipod body. Cheers!

  • Annoying distortion-sound when using Org. N95 Head...

    Is it only me that has this distortion when using the original head-set?

    I thought this was the 21-century and distortion was long gone? maybe Nokia reinveted it?

    so no one here can help me ?

  • Music sync to ipod using Itunes 7.3.1 sounds like skipping cd

    Hello,
    I have an older 12" PowerBook G4. Since installing the latest Quicktime (7.2) and iTunes(7.3.1) any music that I sync with my iPod sounds like a skipping cd. The music on the iPod sound like a skipping cd for a short time and then just skips to the next song. The next song of course does the same thing. The music sounds fine when played back using iTunes. The music is encoded as a MP3 using VBR. All of the music I have previously encoded (before iTunes 7.3) and put on the iPod continues to play just fine (using the same MP3 and VBR settings). I have tried resetting my iPod, but that did not help. Only having USB 1.1 ports and am not too excited by ideas that involve syncing 40GB of music back onto my iPod.
    Any ideas what has changed in the latest software version or what can be done? It would grand to carry some new music to work.

    So, the music sounds like a skipping cd and then shortly just skips onto the next song. In Itunes I selected the skipping songs (which happen to play fine in Itunes) and used "Convert Selection to MP3" under the "Advanced" menu, deleted the skipping songs from my iPod and then added the freshly converted versions of the songs back to the iPod. This worked. No skipping and the songs played all of the way though. Why do I have to convert an mp3 created by iTunes to an mp3 using "Convert Selection to MP3" in order to make things work?
    I do not think that is the problem.
    I use a laptop with limited hard drive space. After iTunes rips my cd's into mp3's I copy the mp3 files to an external hard drive, deleted the songs from iTunes and re-add them from the external hard drive using the "Add to Library" option under "Files". I did this fora couple of cd's. Then I deleted the corresponding songs off of my iPod and re-added them. The songs on the iPod again sound like a skipping cd before just skipping on to the next song.
    One more time, I used "Convert Selection to MP3" under the "Advanced" menu to convert the skipping songs. This time I just left them in the iTunes Music folder on the internal hard drive instead moving them to the external hard drive. After deleting and re-adding the songs to my iPod the songs played fine.
    I do not use an "iTunes Music folder" on my external hard drive and like to organize my mp3's to my likings.
    The question now is, why can't mp3's be moved from the "iTunes Music" folder on the internal disk to an external disk? I do not have enough room on my internal disk to carry around my music and still accomplish work.
    I had been using the method described above for years without problems.

  • Distorted sound from some CDs on Pavillion dv6

    Approx 5% of my CDs have a distorted sound and are unlistenable. It is nothing wrong with the CDs, they play alright in my Lenevo T61 or McBook Air. The CDs are both new and old. It is the same using iTunes or Windows Media Player. Anyone experienced this and is there any solution?

    Hi,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the links below.
    Windows 7
    Vista
    Check if your CDs sound ok now.
    If they don't, from the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Click to open the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.  Right click on the first channel and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When uninstalled repeat the process for each channel.  Also if an ATA controller is listed, right click and uninstall this, again not deleting drivers if asked. Then open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.
    Reboot the PC and let Windows reinstall the devices.  Check the sound from your CDs again.
    If it still doesn't sound ok, run the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below again.
    Windows 7
    Vista
    Next, from the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if your CDs now sound ok.
    Hope this helps.
