ITunes 7: Wrong playback speed

I'm getting a strange problem with iTunes 7. Whenever I try to play back any music, it's playing at about 120% speed. As in, the music is playing faster than it should (and thus sounds like crap).
Anyone else have this happen, or have any suggestions to fix it? Cross-fading off, "Gapless" scan worked fine, reducing playback to 8-bit didn't help.

One user reported restarting her computer help,
another reported they found a virus and when that was
removed the sound quality improved.
Virus scan is clean. Reboot did not fix it.
What sound card are you using?
nVidia nForce (with latest drivers)
Some users have
reported turning up bit rate for playback setting,
instead of down has helped.
I've now tried every bit rate, did not solve the problem.

  • Does Itunes 8 fix playback speed issue when downloading

    Does the new Itunes 8 fix the slow playback speed issues whenever you are downloading music or a podcast within Itunes?

    For the record, the reported issue seems to have been solved.

  • Wrong playback speed of audio (computer is dj'ing with my mp3s)

    i have a sound problem
    audio plays a bit faster than should for about +- 2 sec and stops for like 0.2 sec and goes cycling like that
    for example if you have audio file that is constant 2 KHZ wave youll hear it as 2.2 KHZ for 2 sec and silence for 0.2 sec and so on
    it happens with all audio played thru all players (both arts based and others and in soundtrack of video too)
    it began after i wiped out hard drive and installed clean install of arch with kde 3
    did not happen in the previous system (archlinux that i did not Syu for the last 2 weeks or so)
    hardware is dell optiplex gx 150 with intel ich2 (i815) chipset / audio

  • What happened to the playback speed change option in iTunes U??

    I just updated to the latest iOS and installed other updates. That change removed the playback speed change option for both my iPad and my iPhone in the iTunes U app. It is still available in e podcast player. What happened to this option in iTunes U and will it be restored? Listening to some lecturers at normal delivery speed is agonizing.  Any insights on is?

    This appears to be a regression with the new version of itunes U
    Updated: Nov 14, 2013
    Version: 1.4
    So to get it to work:
    you need to have a video with more than 1 option (such as 1 with subtitles)
    Afterwards, the speed you set when the button is working is remembered so when you change to videos where the button doesn't work, it will keep the speed you had.
    We're testing Apple's software for them!

  • How do i adjust iTunes playback speed on my mac ?

    How do i adjust iTunes playback speed on my mac (OSX 10.10.2) ?
    I'd like to play podcasts at 1.5x, without running them through a separate script.

    I have not see mention of any way in iTunes itself.
    Changing playback speed in iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/11432266 - primarily for audiobooks but if you read the whole thread there is mention of ways to do this with other media.
    You can also look into stand-alone applications such as AmazingSlowDowner.

  • Changing Audio Book Playback Speed?

    I wasn't able to find where you can change the playback speed of Audio Books in iTunes.  Can someone point me to where this setting is?
    It's pretty easy on iPhone/iPod/etc... it's just a little button under the scrubber that allows for 1/2x, 1x, or 2x.  But I can't see the option in iTunes.  I'd assume iTunes on a Mac is capable of as much or more than the functions on an iPod/iPhone, but...  I can't find the button.

    In any case, if my Mac had problems, I'd send it in for service....!!!
    About your problem, I don't think that it depends on hardware.
    I'd check Live configuration and the SR of the audio files: you know, Live has so many features to modify speed and a lot of other parameters that bacomes easy to forget something.
    Try recording something with Garage Band so you will be sure if there is a real problem.
    cheers

  • Playback speeded up

    I have an iTouch. I imported a cd with meditations on it into my computer. They all play just fine. I created a playlist on my iTouch, and put them into it. When I play the playlist on my iTouch - 3 of the 4 are in fast mode...I deleted the playlist, and tried it again - same thing happened... Any suggestions on how to fix. The iTouch is up to date, as is the iTunes on my computer....

    Go to the play screen with the three fast content.  On the right and slightly below the scrubber bar is there a ox with 1/2X, 1X or 2X?  Those are the playback speeds that appear with podcasts and audio books.  To change the playback speed, tap the box to cycle through the speeds.

  • QT7 Playback Speed

    The audio playback speed setting in QT7 is a manual slider. I have been unable to discover either a keyboard shortcut or a menu setting that would allow one to precisely set the playback speed/pitch of an audio file (e.g. decrease speed by 10%). I have also noted that pitch changes cause stuttering in mp3 fiiles. This is critical because I am using QT/ iTunes for dance teaching and like to slow down the music at first. I used to do this with a variable speed cassette deck but was hoping to do it with QT. Would QT7 Pro help here?
    Thanks for any secret keyboard shortcuts or advice.

    The additional audio controls appear when you are playing music and tap the now playing screen.
    The additional audiobook and podcast controls when you are playing _an audiobook or podcast_ and tap the now playing screen.
    In either case, tapping the screen while the additional controls are showing will hide them.

  • HT3176 How can the slow motion playback speed be adjusted on Apple TV (pause and clicking right/left)?

    I am looking to adjust the paused slow motion playback speed of Apple TV. On one of my Apple Tv's when paused I can click right or left to view tv in frame advance (or one second advance) on a different Apple TV there does not appear to be any advance even after multiple clicks. But, it will jump 10 seconds when paused and left or right is held down as it should.

    Unfortunately with that speed you are not going to have a good experience with HD streaming. I would make sure everything is set to stream SD. Go into the settings - iTunes Store and you can switch there for any purchases/rentals made through them.
    If you use Netflix (or other streaming sites) go into your account(s) and see if you can switch to a lower quality stream. I know Netflix has that in place.

  • Song playback speed

    I have an new ipod nano. Does anyone know how I can increase playback speed of songs? From itunes? For some reason, when I hear songs through the ipod they sound slower than on CD...any input? Thanks!

    Thank you!
    What about MIDI cc´s like foot control which were recorded with the MIDI-will they be locked with the MIDI regions as well? I guess why they shouldn´t be because they are part of a region and they are not automation data, right?

  • Controlling Playback Speed on iPod Mini

    I am using iPod to listen to some language lessons (these are not audiobooks, but merely a copy from a language CD uploaded to iTunes+iPod). Unfortunately, the lessons feature dialogs that are way too fast and I would like to slow them down. Is there a way to slow down the playback speed of a song on iPod?

    Do the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer?
    If so
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Playback speed in Sample Editor window many, many times faster than track (at correct speed) in arrange area. How do I sync Sample Editor playback speed to correct speed/tempo in arrange area? Track is spoken word.

    Playback speed in Sample Editor window many, many times faster than track (at correct speed) in arrange area. How do I sync Sample Editor playback speed to correct speed/tempo in arrange area? Track is spoken word. Sample Editor playback sounds like Alvin on a meth binge. Spoken phrase is generated from Textspeech. Textspeech can export files as WAV files or MP3 files. Perhaps a clue?:   When exported Textspeech WAV file is dragged and dropped into track in arrange area of new project, it exhibits same supersonic speed. When Textspeech file is exported as MP3 file and dragged and dropped in arrange area track, it plays at correct speed.

    Thanks Erik,
    If nothing else, this huge list of updates and fixes, shows clearly that the Logic Dev team is working hard on fixing and improving LPX to a major degree.... and from the list of fixes done.. show they do read the bug reports submitted!
    As an aside....
    I recall how all the 'naysayers' prior to LPX (and in some cases, since...)  were proclaiming how Logic was dead, the team was being disbanded, we won't see any further development, the Dev team doesn't listen or care... and so on....... I wonder where those people are now?

  • How can I slow down the playback speed of selected parts of a captivate video?

    Hi everybody,
    I'm pretty new to Captivate and although it offers some great tools, there is something that I just can't get to work:
    I'm creating a video tutorial about how to use a website i'm working with so I've tried using "Automatic" ("Demo" mode chosen) recording option which is recommended for this type of video. However, the video recorded has a different playback speed than the amount of time I recorded. This means that some of the slides have a quicker playback speed than the way I recorded, thereby not leaving enough time to show the given feature.
    The recording mode with the most "true" playback was "Full motion". However, I would still like to be able to slow down selected parts of the video, but can only find guides on how to slow down the entire presentation.
    Can you please advise me on how to slow down only selected parts of the project? If this is not possible in Captivate, please advise me on which video editing software (where you can slow down the playback speed on selected parts of the video) is compatible with Captivate 5?
    Thanks!

    Thank you. Andrew Kramer's Video Copilot video, which I somehow managed to miss, was very helpful.
    I had a 79 second clip which I precomposed and enabled time remapping. But I have 12 places where I need to slow down the layer. After a while, I was runing out of room to add more keyframes using the method promoted in many videos and instruction sites (grab the last two keyframes, including the end frame, and drag).
    In reality, you can add keyframes wherever you like and you can adjust them however works best within the existing timeline without messing with the duration, etc.
    Much appreciated.

  • Playback speeds up intermittently on first scene when played after build

    Hi
    I have a problem with playback on apple dvd player after completing the build? When I play the authored project on apple dvd player after the build, after clicking on the play button in the main menu, the first scene (about 1 min. long) playback speeds up intermittently-normal speed then fast for a second then normal then fast-jumpy I guess might describe it. This only happens on the first scene with all the other scenes after this point in the timeline playing fine. I placed 2 new clips (different assets-scenes) to replace the first scene & the same issue happens with different asset clips being used in the same position (first) in the track timeline.
    The scenes I used are pans of a running deer, which play fine anywhere else in the track timeline except the first position. When I play the project it's fine in simulator mode & in the project itself...this only happens after the build when playing on apple dvd player from VIDEO_TS folder. This is a test project for some footage so it's only 10 minutes long with bit rates at 5-6 ave. & 6-7.4 max.
    -2 pass VBR-best motion.
    Any ideas on what is going on?
    I'm using DVDSP 2 with Jaguar 10.2.8.
    Thanks for any help.

    Della:
    Not a clue about the problem, sorry, but can "imagine" a workaround just to fool the problem.
    You must have a PLAY button that connect to that first scene (first chapter in the track, I guess). If you connect that button to the second chapter (just to try) that plays fine or again behaves as it was first?
    If that way plays fine, you can add a "false" first scene (i.e. one second of black exported from FCP) and connect the PLAY button to the real first (now second in the track) chapter.
    I told you, it's just a workaround to have in hand in case your dead line gets close!!
