ITunes 10.6.3 suddenly audio is distorted HELP?

I am not sure what happened. I am running OSX 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3.
I have never had a problem before but suddenly the audio is very distroted with some podcasts sound as if they are in very fast motion to the point I can't understand any word spoken.
The songs are distorted. LIke someone singing into a tin can, and some very low volumn.
The volume adjustment, as always is at 0.
I have disabled and then turned on the Equalizer and there is no change.
Any other audio from my headphones is fine. Final Cut Pro is fine as is my Quicktime movie files.
PS I have recently had to repair my 30" Cinema display.

IE and Chrome
I'd try Firefox ... it handles network connections a little differently from Chrome, IE or Safari, so in cases where there's an issue with IE or Chrome, Firefox can sometimes get a working installer (and vice versa, though IE working when Firefox doesn't in this sort of context is a bit rarer overall than Firefox working when IE doesn't).
If still no joy with Firefox, I'd try the download of the installer to a different PC.

Sudden audio white noise

For a couple of months I get sudden audio noise when using my ultralite firewire audio device - very sporadically but still annoyingly regularly. It typically starts with a slight pop or crackle and then turns into proper noise on all the channels of the audio device. Restart of the ultralite will fix it or sometimes only a restart of the iMAC.
It is also interesting that the issue persists once it has happens. Any audio sent to the ultrlite (by logic or safari, etc) is then converted into noise.
Noticed it first in Logic but also in Safari when watching BBC iplayer.
I am thinking....
- the firewire device is daisy chained to a firewire drive, and maybe this causes some signal routing issue?
- driver issue, as I have not had this before the upgrade to lion. the ultrlite driver has been upgraded but that has not fixed the issue?
- some feedback through the mains which triggers a fault in the firewire signal....?
Anyone has a similar problem?

Ok, good info. We seem to have the exact same hardware combination: iMac, Mac OS X Lion and the first version of the MOTU UltraLite.
I'm not using Logic at all. I'm experiencing the issue in all applications, Ableton Live, iTunes, VLC player, QuickTime Player, the browser etc.
Have you experienced the issue in other applications than Logic? If not, can you do a test, for instance play music through iTunes for an hour or two and see if the issue shows up? What is your frequency of the issue?
I'm almost sure this is a software issue - either a MOTU driver issue og a Mac OS X Lion issue. I have done a lot of troubleshooting including:
1. Tried several firewire cables (To exlude that it's not a bad cable) - no luck
2. Connecting only one firewire unit - the UltraLite (To exclude that other firewire units are causing the issue) - no luck
3. Tried the UltraLite on my Mac OS Tiger machine - no issue, I cannot reproduce the issue on this machine
4. Tried to only run one application after a fresh restart: iTunes (to exclude that some third party application is causing the issue) - no luck
5. It worked fine on my iMac running Snow Leopard before upgrading to Lion
6. We are two persons with the same hardware combination experiencing the exact same issue (Kinda proves that its not a broken sound interface)
7. Downgraded to an earlier MOTU driver than the newest so-called "Lion compatible" driver - no luck
8. The issue is only when the UltraLite is connected. There is no issue when running the native sound output or another USB sound interface (I have tried a Guitar rig session I/O on my iMac)
9. The issue stops if I restart the sound interface or restarts Lion or switch the sample rate in the MOTU Audio Setup
Unfortunately I have not another Lion Machine to test on (to exclude that it's some hidden applications running in the background causing the issue). Do you have other Lion machines to test on?
If you have the time you can try to do the same troubleshooting as me. If you conclude the same as me I think we have a good bug report to Apple/MOTU that they hopefully will take care of.

Audio playback distortion?

Is there audio playback distortion with itunes and icloud?

Since I have upgraded and/or using itunes cloud, sound from itunes on computer is really fuzzy,distorted. I have read that perhaps it is because I have an older computer (Intel Core 2 Duo [email protected] GHZ 4G RAM?) 6 years old, which is old by computer standards.

HELP: iDVD plays back audio all distorted and slow

I just created a movie in iMovieHD. It looks and sounds great in iMovieHD. I then chose the iDVD button to export my movie to iDVD. After it rendered in iDVD and I play it back, the pictures looks beautiful but the audio is all distorted and is playing back at least 5 times too slow compared to the original audio. My audio source in iMovieHD was an AIFF file from iTunes. My iMovie is still photos from iPhoto set to the music from iTunes.

Hi David:
Extracting the audio tracks in imovie first will often fix the problem.

System Audio Starts Distorting

For some reason, I was watching a movie in VLC and after the crazy amount of skipping and dropped video and audio stopped happening, the audio was distorted. Not just the audio through VLC, but all the system audio. Even iTunes, or just the blips changing the volume were distorted. I think it's a memory problem cause I was using a lot of different programs at the same time, but when I open up Activity Monitor and get rid of some stuff, it still won't go away.
It has gone away now, but what if it happens again, is there anything I can do to get audio up and un-distorted immediately when it happens?

that really did nothing
in the audio tab, it displayed that audio output was unavailable
i don't think it has to do with anything like that, just memory, because whenever I'm downloading a lot, or have things working, exporting or anything, it goes from skipping playback, to distorted audio. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this cause it really ****** me off every time it happens.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

My itunes wont open,because of audio configeration?

Since iTunes uses QuickTime to play audio/video content in iTunes, that error message most likely indicates that there's a problem with Quicktime installation.
See if this article helps with that:

Hello candymerna,
At this point I would recommeng resetting the device if if will not turn on.
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.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If it does turn on, but will not charge then take a look at this part of the article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Power/Battery
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
If it is charging, but not recognized in iTunes take a look at one of these articles depending on your Operating System.

I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book

I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Vista - how do you make iTunes the default player for audio files?

Having started using iTunes on a new Vista PC, I've found that it defaults back to Windows Media as the default audio file player every time the machine is rebooted.
But worse than that, I cannot find any option to make iTunes the default player for MP3 files - under the Vista settings, the ONLY option offered is Windows Media: there is not even a box to tick for iTunes.
Have others found this? Is there any way around this?
(I thought that Microsoft was legally precluded from making these kind of enforced settings now???)

Although I now seem to have successfully made iTunes the default player for audio files, iTunes has started putting up this message:
"The iTunes Music Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
A quick scan of the forum shows this problem has come up quite a few times, but I'm far from clear if there is a definitive answer/solution. I am the administrator for the computer. It sounds worrying that the Library file is not being saved - should I be worried?

Yes there is.
Go to the iTunes Store on your computer. Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side. Click the "All" tab on top. The song is there. Re-download it.

Ok I know whats the problem is:
The first 1,500 DVDs (this Mp4 have no problem) I convert at 2 chanel stereo 448kbps and the seconds 300 DVDs movies (with no audio) I convert in AC3 5.1 at 640kbps
I realize because I rip to my HD one of the movies with no audio and convert in 2 channel stereo and this one have audio
