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?

"Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video may not work properly".
Turned my Dell running windows 7 off 2 days ago. Turned on today. Launched ITunes and got message "Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video may not work properly".
All my albums are there but won't play.
Deleted Itunes and reinstalled. Same as before.
Any ideas ??Hey MrCurwen,
I was able to find an article that included the same error message you're experiencing:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot run because it detects an issue with QuickTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1371
According to that article, if you see the error message "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration," QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Please follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.
During the download:
If you choose to run the installer, proceed to the next step.
If you choose to save the download, double click the QuickTimeInstaller file, then proceed to next step.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install QuickTime.
Reopen iTunes.
Cheers,

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
Toshiba Satellite Windows XP ProHi
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!

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.

"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 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." I tried to repair itunes as well as reinstall itunes with the new version and I still get the same message. I also reviewed my audio config in windows and nothing is different from before. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know how to get around this?
Thanks!

ITunes cannot run because it has detected audio configuration problem?
I've got Windows XP, recently did a system restore and was forced to re-install iTunes afterwards. After installation, I click the iTunes icon and get a pop up "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration." I went to the iTunes support page and found a similar trouble shooting scheme. I applied both options and both failed. I tried re-installing again to repair, but after the repair, the problem still remains. I found a major difference in the trouble shooting scheme however and I wander if that could be it. The web page shows quick time's audio channels as "Stereo (L R)", however my quick time control panel doesn't feature that channel. Instead, there are 7 "LayoutTags" to choose from, each containing 7 digits. I'm no computer whiz, so I'm going to need help on this one.
replying to lowriderpharaoh.
hmmmmm. it's sounding like you've still got a damaged version of QuickTime in the PC. (or at least, there's something going wrong with the quicktime.)
let's try swapping out the QuickTime again. we'll take a few additional explicit precautions this time.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove 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 try to 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?
if it doesn't launch properly, are you still getting the unusual display effects in the QT preferences? -
Itunes can't run bc of audio configuration problem
Well I've been using itunes for about 2 years now and just recently i installed the newer version. It was working fine until today when my computer told me ther was some kind of computer error and that i should do a system restore. So i did a restore to about 2 weeks ago which was before i updated my itunes. And then i was getting the message that my itunes was missing files and could not run. So i ran a repair on it and still got the same error. Then I deleted it adn reinstalled and I got the error "Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration.
So then I undid the system restore and tried itunes to see if it would work. And I was still getting the same message that itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration. So then I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and still getting the same message.
Can someone help me out? What problem would it be with my audio configuration? I haven't changed anything. Is there something i can adjust to fix the problem? I'm clueless....the message is typically produced by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
perhaps let's start with the following document:
iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes had detected an audio configuration problem

Audio Configuration problem detected after install
During the download of the new ITunes version I had a major power failure. I went back and completed the download and after the installation I got an error message that ITunes could not be opened due to an audio configuration problem detected. I went to the Apple site and downloaded a new version from scratch and after the install I got the same audio error. Any Suggestions?
Perhaps this Apple KnowledgeBase article will help:

Hope that helps.
