ITunes 11.1.4 movie sound distorted on windows 8.1

iTunes 11.1.4 movie sound distorted on windows 8.1, Songs play ok . I have tried all sorts turning off Sound Enhancements etc ...

Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

Help! crop and move curser distorted in Windows 7

I bought a new PC and was afflicted with Windows 7. The latest thing to hate is this issue with my Photoshop move and crop too.
The crop and move curser is distorted. Instead of the crop tool curser, it's 3 of them pixelated in a row, same with the move tool. It is the same with CS4 and CS2. I tried removing and reinstalling twice and no help. Anyone seen this?

Also in addition to updating your video card driver, i've seen that happen when
the system dpi scaling is set higher than 96.
Check under Appearance and Personalization>Adjust Font Size and see what it's set to.

How do I get iTunes 10 to play movie files as their actual size?

In iTunes (10), I have several iTunes purchases/rentals as well as movie files I've created on my own and converted into .mp4 format. My problem is that I really would like to play these files as their actual size, but can't seem to get iTunes to cooperate. I'm sure there's an easy way to do this and I've tried the quick-keyboard command (command-1), but without luck for both the iTunes official files (m4v) and the .mp4s. Any help is very appreciated.

Or you can set iTunes to always open movies in their own window.

iTunes 10.5 (on 10.6.8) doesn't have a "playback in separate window" option.
Fortunately, the effectively hidden right-click "Playback Video in Separate Window" option is still available, and this choice holds for future videos.
I can keep my iTunes window on my left monitor and playback videos on my larger, widescreen middle monitor.

Itunes sound distortion

All my songs in Itunes when played have distorted sounds, audio clipping or freeze up and this happened all of sudden for no reason with ITunes 9.01 which was working for a few days perfectly until yesterday. I played itunes files in Quicktime with no problem and I been searching forums for help with this issue.
So far I tried updated sound drivers, directx drivers, I changed options on QT in control panel to 16 bit, even put it in wavsound safe mode from the default direct sound, turn off EQ in itunes adjusted preamp & turned off sound enhancer too. I have reinstalled Itunes 9.01 and tried a older version 8.2 with no luck there either. I even updated my windows vista to SP2 for the heck of it hoping it would fix the problem.
I have a sound blaster X-FI and I changed various options with sound card settings with no results. I know it is probably not my system or sound card: Current Specs 3.2 ghz intel processor, 3gig ram, sb blaster x-fi and so on. Also, played music with wmp player and dvds no clipping.
I dont know if this makes difference in identifying the problem, but the windows startup sound clips and distorts too for some reason. I hope someone has the magical solution to fix this issue short of reinstalling windows in hope of fixing the issue.

This worked.
Can Apple / Itunes not just do an upgrade to fix this as I think every one should have the same problem?

Sound distortion in iTunes and not in other players

Hello,
I've been experiencing some terrible sound distortion with iTunes that I don't have with any other player (WM player for instance).
I installed version 6 and this doesn't fix any issue.
This doesn't cause any problem when transferring files to iPod but still, have to be fixed!
Has anyone a clue or already fixed this in windows XP?
Thanks

Hi,
I have same problem with my iTunes 6.
You can try this(Helps for me):
1. From the Start menu, select Settings and open the Control Panel
2. Double-click the Multimedia or Sound, Speech & Audio devices icon,
3. Select Sound and Audio Devices, click the Advanced Audio button
4. Select the Advanced tab then
5. Select the Performance tab and find the Hardware Acceleration slider control
hardware acceleration should be set at full.
sample rate conversion quality should be set at best.

Sound distortion issue when uploading iMovie

Each time I try to 'Share' a movie I created the sound distorts once it's uploaded. It's driving me crazy! I've read other posts re this problem but no resolutions given. The sound just ends up a bit fuzzy - it's fine until it's uploaded to file or iTunes etc. Does anyone else know what the problem may be?

Solved it by downloading win 8 drivers for audio from sony support... followed condor's suggestion http://community.sony.com/t5/VAIO-Windows-10/LAPTOP-VAIO-SVT15112CSX-audio-drivers-that-work-with-windows-10/m-p/516334#U516334

ITunes 7 Destroying my Movies when editing artwork

A few weeks back i began importing my DVD collection to my new iMac, using Visual Hub to take DVD sources (video_ts folders) and converting them to H.264 mp4 files.
I had all of these converted movies (about 30 of them) in my ~/Movies folder, when it dawned on me that I could use iTunes 7 to have a nicer way to look at my movie collection and still be able to browse the movies via Front Row.
The problem started when I tried setting custom art for each movie, once it was imported into iTunes. Apparently, it's not as easy as copy and pasting artwork into the movie's Artwork tab in Get Info in iTunes (for some ungodly reason.)
What happened was deleting the current art, and then hitting Ok would completely hang my entire system. I couldn't even move the mouse. I had to hold the power button down for 6 seconds for it to shut off and then reboot. This happened about 5 times before I was convinced that every time i tried to do this, it would be the same result. Checking out Console.app, i tried to find something telling from System.log and Console.log, and i thought i had found something that pointed to bad ram. However, a thorough 3 pass test with memtest eased those concerns, and the problem points back to iTunes.
If i go into iTunes and select a movie I imported, go to its Artwork tab in Get Info, and delete the current artwork, the movie becomes a full length "movie" of just a white screen and no sound. I cannot for the life of me figure out why deleting artwork consistently (three separate movie files) ruins my movie files.
If i open the files in Quicktime, it's the same thing. But if i look up the movie's properties, it still says i have an audio and video track at the expected bit rate...so i'm not really sure, maybe i can fix these videos as it seems the video is just being masked by an all white screen.
So my question is three-fold:
1) Why does deleting the artwork from a movie in iTunes render the entire movie file useless?
2) Is there a way to fix this?
3) Is there a way to add custom artwork (perhaps the movie's poster art from Wikipedia) to a movie file in iTunes without it destroying my movie?
Please help!
I should mention that i tried redoing the artwork on a brand new OS X user, and got the same results...a white-screened movie with no sound.

this is EXACTLY what i am experiencing right now, please HELLLLLP!!

Sound Distortion playing DVDs with Audigy2 Va

Last time I have problems playing DVD movies on my computer: The sound is distorted
by scratches like an old vinyl. I am using a SB Audigy 2 on Win XP. I have tried several software DVD players, reinstalled the old drivers from CD and cleanly installed teh newest drivers via internet auto update. I also tried to update my VIA chipset drivers, deactivated several background programs etc.
I found out that disabling the sound acceleration in DXDiag removes the sound distortion but then the sound (speech, effects) within a movie are extremly quiet compared to the music.
Another thing: First I deinstalled completely the software and drivers from my audigy to replace it with new ones. Then I had to notice that the new Audio Control Center does not support the option to send bass-frequencies to my subwoofer. I could set the speakers to 5. but had no chance to get my subwoofer working. At the moment I have status quo by using new drivers, but my old creative applications for configurating my speakers.

Ijust checked the preferences, go to Disc Setup and on the bottom in the Audio section, check off the box that says "Disable Dolby dynamic range compression" see if that helps.

Output sound distortion when USB Mic Connected

Hi everyone,
Really appreciate anyone’s help on this sound distortion problem.
I have been using the new 2014 iMac 27' for last 8 Months, bought Brand New, and recently updated to Yosemite. Everything worked fine including recording, until this update.
I'm using Blue Yeti USB Mic for recording, and few days after the update I was trying to record in GarageBand and the output sound (via headphone connected to USB MIc) started to distort and then suddenly dropped the bitrate/ sound and I could only hear some clicks. I reinstalled the GargeBand, still its the same distortion happens. The sound gets back to normal, only for few seconds, after I unplug the USB cable from the Mic device. And I tried changing the bit rate and again sounds starts to drop after few sec. This happens only when I connect the Blue Yeti USB Mic and sound output from the Mic itself. Same thing happens with iTunes as well. Output sound from Internal mic and speakers are working fine as normal.
I tried connecting the USB Mic to my Windows laptop and its working fine with the Cubase 5 without any problem. So the problem is with the output sound, when external Mic connected.
I don’t know the solution for this. Have checked on every single blog/ thread, sill couldn’t find the answer I’m looking for, to fix this.
It would be great if you have any kind of a solution for the same.

Nope. The larger buffer didn't work. What did work was running a cord out of the 1/4-inch jack from the direct box to a 1/4-to-1/8-inch adapter and then into the mic/line-in jack on my computer. I set GarageBand to use the built-in line-in and had no static problems. It's a stopgap until this gets fixed.

Sound Distortion AP 11 and 12.

I'm experiencing sound distortion and weak signal after AP upgraded to 11. I downloaded 12 and I still have the problem. Windows 7.

AP? You mean Flash Player?
12 is a beta, so it's not a good idea to use that to remedy playback problems as it's a test product.
Are you experiencing audio issues elsewhere? Windows Media Player, iTunes, Quick Time or VLC for instance?

Sound distortion in most recent episode of Lost

Hi all,
the most recent episode of Lost plays on my Apple TV with really bad sound distortion starting from 4.23 and continuing to the end.
I have a series pass so the episode downloaded onto my Apple TV. The file that has synched with my Mac plays fine in iTunes. I've changed the sync options to remove that ep of Lost from the appletv and then synched back, but it still does it. The episode is Lost s6 e6 'Sundown'. Has anyone else had this issue? I don't want to watch it on my laptop, I really need it to work on the Apple TV!
Thanks
Caspar

Not the best solution, but at least you'll be able to watch this episode on the Apple TV.
Either:
Switch Dolby Digital Out to Off in Apple TV's setting. The episode will then play the Stereo AAC track instead (which is fine, btw). Problem is, you'll have to switch Dolby Digital Out back on if you want surround sound back for other content.
Or:
Download an App called Subler.
Open the HD Episode of Lost in Subler.
You'll see that subler lists the video track and two audio tracks. The Digital surround track is not ticked, but this normal and is not the cause of the 'static problem'
Select the surround track and click the delete button.
Save the file and re-sync to Apple TV.
It will now play in stereo.

ITunes stuffing up my movies - white noise

I read the topic posted by Ducos about how itunes wouldnt sync his movie and so i did that right click movie>advanced>create ipod/iphone version and coverted it, uploaded it up on my Touch and all i get is a white background just the sound of the movie.
Previous to this happening i couldnt sync it to my ipod itunes would always sasy 'this type of video cannot be played on ipod or iphone'. :S Can anyone help me plz? its a mpeg.4 movie.
I dont get it what or why its happening.

I was using the normal iTunes converter (right click movie>advanced>convert for iphone/ipod) so i dunno wats happening there.
Thanks, i'll download it now. Another movie that I converted using the itunes converter, works the opposite way. Its got the vid/picture but no sound :S
Does TVC convert the bigger files, such as 1GB and that?

Sound distortion after downloading artworks

I am using the latest version of itunes 7.0.1.8
It has seemed ok, until yesterday i decided to click on get album artwork.
The artwork was downloaded fine but the noice quality immediately after and since has been awful. I can only describe it as an interferance / distortion. It is a constant sound regardless of teh beat / tone of teh music. When i use any other program to run sounds or music (windows media, audacity, windows sounds) it works fine UNLESS itunes is running. If itunes is running all noise on teh machine is unbearable.
As soon as i exit itunes, all sound is good again.
When i first upgraded to itumes 7 i had some sound qulaity issues , thyat were resolved by the latest upgrade, but this is an altogether different and more prevalent sound.

Goto the PC makers site and update your sound card/drivers
In Windows goto Control panel>Quicktime>Audio tab check "Safemode" hit OK and reboot the PC for settings to take
If that doesn't work try the steps here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610

HELP! Why is the music sounding distorted

Hi there, so i put on all music on the ipod, and two days later it is sounding all distorted and garbled, do i have to take it all off and start again? This ipod nano sure has its imperfections...thanx

The equalizer might be on.
On the nano, even if the equalizer is set to off in the iPod settings, the equalizer setting in iTunes is used. If you have a track in iTunes with a custom EQ set to, say, "rock" the iPod will use rock. It may sound fine though the computer speakers but not so good though the earbuds.
Not all iPods are consistent about how they use the per track EQ settings from iTunes. On a 5G iPod, for example, setting the EQ on the iPod to off means it plays everything flat.
You could try setting the EQ on the iPod nano to "flat" while the song in question is playing. If that clears it up you should set that song to use a flat EQ in iTunes. Then it will always play like that on the nano.
Most modern music doesn't need equalization and adding it usually makes music sound distorted and garbled.
