Hissing and fuzzy sound in iTunes

With headphones on, I hear a hiss and fuzzy sound when playing songs in iTunes. Even with no sound and with headphones on, there is a hissing sound.
I never had this problem before.
Is there a fix?
Using iTunes 9.0.2
Thank you.

I fixed it and here what I did, thank you Wikipedia:
Utilities - Audio Midi Setup
Under "Built-in output" and "output" tab - change setting to 2ch - 24bit
Hope this helps you too

  • Can anyone help me with the fuzzy sound in ITunes?

    I have a new IPod and things worked fine and then suddenly I downloaded a CD in and it sounded fuzzy and scratchy like an old LP. Now all of the songs in ITunes play this way. But the CDs play just fine in any other program, so it's ITunes that's the problem.
    Has anyone else encountered this and if so, can you explain (as if I were a 4-year old) how you fixed it? I manage my way around the computer OK, but don't know much technical jargon or where to find certain things.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Uga, this is a link from Scott Patrie in the iTunes for Windows forum that I think may help resolve the poor sound issue.

  • Black screen and no sound with iTunes rentals.

    I was going to chalk this up to just a corrupt download, but it's happening too much for mere coincidence now. I rented Captain America: The First Avenger in HD on my Windows 7 machine, only to find that when I tried to play it, I got nothing more than a black screen with no sound. I chalked it up to bad luck and went back to my day, only a few days later, I tried again, only to find the exact same problem had occurred with the exact same movie. I called Apple Support and told them of the problem, and while they refunded my purchases (and gave me 3 free movie rentals), they proposed no solution.
    So I tried renting Iron Man 3 today, and the same thing happened. This doesn't occur with any other movies that I own trying to play in iTunes, just with rentals. I've already tried a reinstall, which did nothing, and I'm out of ideas.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
    Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
    Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
    Great to have the Video back

  • 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.

  • Sound is fuzzy/distorted on iTunes?

    I have the latest version of iTunes, and the sound is distorted/fuzzy at points. I've used multiple output devices and it's the same result with sound being poor. Sound on the internet is fine and other applications so it's definitely iTunes. Any solutions to fix this problem? Is it the EQ (if so how do I change it)? Thanks.

    Exit iTunes
    Go to this page: iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    Click on the blue "Download" button
    this will download an alternative 12.1 installer
    depending on your browser / settings, the installer may run immediately, or you may have to separately run the "itunes64setup.exe" file
    After the installation process has finished, restart iTunes
    This "for older video cards" version seems to address the playback issues that many people have encountered with the default iTunes 12.1 for 64-bit Windows.

  • My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
    Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Hi 22chill,
    I recommend that we delete and re-download the movie from your purchase history:

  • 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.

    Hi,
    According to my analysis, for Digital Signatures: Adobe has changed the behavior around digital signatures and SharePoint-hosted PDF files. Now, when digitally signing a SharePoint-hosted PDF file, it will be saved directly to SharePoint if that PDF file
    is already checked out. If not, the user will be prompted to check it out. When digitally signing a SharePoint-hosted PDF file in Acrobat X, Version 10.0, the user would be prompted to save that file locally and would then need to upload it separately to SharePoint
    as a new version.
    I suggest that you use Acrobat X, then check the result. For more information about Acrobat X, please refer to
    http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2011/06/whats-new-in-acrobat-x-version-10-1.html
    In addition, you can also consider the following third-party tool:

  • Why are system and application sound files appearing in itunes?

    Suddenly, over 900 system and application sound files, each about a second or 2 long, have appeared in my iPhone 4S music player. They've also appeared in my iTunes on my desktop iMac. Not sure whether they appeared on the computer first or on the phone first. I can't figure out why they appeared there or how to get rid of them (without also removing them from the system and applications which, of course, I don't want to do).
    I searched through the discussions here and found several other people complaining about the same thing, going back a couple of years, but no solutions offered. I hope someone can offer a clue.

    Thanks for the suggestions and help. While the cause of this problem is still obscure, we've managed, with an Apple tech's help, to remove the system/application sound files from both the iPhone and iTunes. We used Time Machine to backtrack to the point at which the sound files first appeared in the iTunes folder, then moved back one more day and restored the iTunes Media folder (where all the music was stored) and 2 iTunes files: iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml (we could also have simply restored the entire iTunes folder with the same effect). Then we synced the iPhone.
    As for the cause, that's still a puzzle. From Time Machine, we were able to determine that the files were added between midnight and 12:47 AM on a particular day, but that computer was not in use at that time (the user was asleep in bed, and the only other person in the house at the time was me -- and I don't touch that computer).

  • Hd movies play choppy and the sound is out of sync in iTunes

    I'm getting choppy video playback and the sound is out of sync in iTunes any solutions?

  • Sound "pops" and then stops in iTunes

    I've search these discussions but haven't found anyone with this problem.
    I listen to my iTunes library with headphones while working on other programs. Frequently I'll hear a "pop" and then the sound is dead. I'll switch to iTunes and notice that the song is still playing. If I click the pause button and click it again to start playing the song again, I'll hear the "pop" and the sound is back on.
    What gives? What causes this? How can I stop it from happening? It's really annoying.

    Thanks JIMacG5. You are right that the pop then dead sound happens when another application also has a sound, although not always. I can hear my email chime and the songs in iTunes continue playing. Sometimes when I click the back button in Firefox the sound from iTunes dies but sometimes not. The only thing I know for sure that it only happens with iTunes. I also use my headphones to listen to DVD's and it has never happened with that software.
    Oddly, it's a comfort to know that someone else is experiencing this same problem. That means that it is not just my machine. I am sorry though that others are also affected by this problem.
    If this is an iTunes 7 issue, I hope they resolve it with the next update.
    One workable solution for me is to listen to my iPod instead of iTunes but that seems silly since my computer is right in front of me.
