ITunes 9.02: Song playing but no sound

Have had an odd problem on the last couple of iTunes releases. When listening either on my MBP or over AirTunes, a song will play with no problem and will end normally. The next song will queue up, and appear to be playing (the progress bar moves, etc), but there is no sound. If I skip ahead to the next track, or if I rewind this track to its beginning, it plays normally. It is sporadic, but seems to be happening more now.
The library is on an external drive connected to a new Airport Extreme, but I saw this same behavior when directly connected.
Can anyone confirm that they've also seen this?

Bumping to top again.
This has really become a terminal problem. Can't play more than a song without having to touch the system to bump back to the beginning of the track, where it plays fine. This can't be limited to my system only--any ideas or thoughts guys?
Thanks in advance.

  • Airport Express Airtunes Plays But No Sound Comes Out

    I have klipsch promedia 5.1 speakers which have 3 inputs, pink, green, and black. I have a piece from radio shack that converts those 3 inputs to one input with a female end. So I bought a extension mini cable with both male ends. Now when I plug my mini cable to my laptop every speaker plays fine. But when I plug it into the Airport express, it shows up in iTunes and has the song playing, but no sound comes out. Any ideas?

    This is the first time I have tried to connect external speakers via my airport. I have an Airport extreme base station and an booster airport with itunes. They work fine for linking my laptops and printing, but when I tried to connect my Sony Hi fi with the mini cable and ask i tunes to use multiple speakers - first it takes a long time to try to connect - then it seems to be operating but no sound through the remote airport connection. I tried plugging in my i pod earphones to the remote airport and still got no sound. The sony mini cable output works fine with my digital radio - so that's OK.
    Any ideas?

  • After updating to 12.1.2.27, songs play, but without any sound output to internal iMac speakers

    So i updated to 12.1.2.27 and songs 'play', but without any sound output. Checked my audio settings and had it at Internal speakers. Checked the speakers (they work, at least for YouTube vids), restarted machine, etc and no audio output from iTunes. Any suggestions? Am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance

    Try unchecking Sound Enhancer and Sound Check in your Preferences under Playback
    Sound check may have reduced everything to a low output level inadvertently.

  • When I attempt to preview a song on iTunes, it begins to play but stops after 5 seconds

    When I attempt to preview a song on iTunes, its begins to play but stops after 5 seconds instead of the normal 30 seconds.

    I posted this to another thread here:
    "I am having the same issue with the preview songs cutting off around the 5 to 7 second mark. It started about 3 weeks ago right after I downloaded an album.
    It downloaded but at the end said the download failed due to a network timeout error. I clicked out of the error dialogue box and checked my "Purchased" items folder and it did seem there was a problem, no songs were there only a placeholder of the album cover (or something of that nature). Nothing happened when I clicked on it. However, when I closed and then restarted itunes the entire album was there and there have been no problems with those songs.
    Some here are saying they believe they previews cutting off have something to do with the 10.6 upgrade, however I still have 10.5.1.42 and have the problem.
    I am running up-to-date Windows 7 Professional with Viper Anti-virus. I don't for a moment think it has anything to do with windows updates, anti-virus or any other 'windows' issues. I believe it is within itunes in its' preview player software.
    Dear iTunes, if this thread is being monitored by a rep, please be aware that if I cannot preview more than 5-7 seconds of a song you can rest assured I will not be purchasing any further music through itunes until this issue is resolved and will be taking my business elsewhere in the interim."
    I use the ipconfig/flushdns all the time to resolve browser issues, especially when using Twitter. It does not help this particular problem for me.

  • IPod music plays, but no sound on most songs after reset

    Here's the deal. My 3G froze up on me last week. Since I didn't read the instruction book, but was conveniently near an Apple Store, I went in looking for help. The person at the front of the store was nice enough to reset my phone and show me how to do it in the future. Phone seemed to work okay for the most part; My apps wouldn't load at first, but downloading a new app cleared that problem up.
    The problem I'm continuing to have is with my music. Some songs play, but most do not. The screen shows them playing but there is no sound. I tried Syncing the phone when I got back from my trip, but that did not help. I'd like to reset my phone, but my best set of contacts in the phone and I haven't figured out how to export them yet.
    Has anyone experienced something along the lines of what I am describing? Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • My phone goes silent mid song, the song shows its still playing but no sound. if I try to turn up the volume its greyed out

    My phone goes silent mid song. It shows the song is still playing but no sound. If I try to turn the volume up its grayed out...how do I fix this?

    try doing a soft reset. push and hold the home button and power button at the same time until the phone powers off completely. only release the buttons when you see the white apple pop back up on the screen if this doesn't work you will likely have to do a complete factory reset which can be found in general settings of the phone. hope this helps!

  • I uploaded 3 audiobooks from iTunes to my iPhone 5 with the latest ios7 on it. Each of them only plays the first 15 mins of the playback and then silence, the bar shows the book is still playing but no sound, any ideas? Thanks

    I uploaded 3 audiobooks from iTunes to my iPhone 5 with the latest ios7 on it. Each of them only plays the first 15 mins of the playback and then silence, the bar shows the book is still playing but no sound, any ideas? Thanks

    What happens when playing the same books in iTunes. Is there sound after 15 min?
    If also silent in iTunes, check the info tab where you can see the item is an audiobook, etc. Check the volume bar, this normally is on the zero point.
    When an audio book is really low in audio, I tend to move this to the plus side (+1=max), but for some strange reason this bar was at -1 in some books I had and they also seemed to play in absolute silence.

  • Ipod classic 160gb showing music playing but no sound with headphone headunit aux cable or hardwired car stereo

    last week i had my ipod classic 160gb plugged into my ford falcon fg xr6 ipod connectivity hardwire for the car stereo as i have had for over a year now since i only ever take it out to update music and software. i unplugged it and was using an iphone 5 in the meantime for about 2 hours while my ipod classic was updating. when i connected my ipod classic the connection is fine i can browse files and songs like normal but no sound comes out of the speakers. i thought my car was stuffed but i have tried it on alpine pioneer kenwood aftermarket units through an ipod cable which i have done hundreds of times in the truck i drive as well as tryin to connect headphones as well as an aux cable to play through the speakers all to no avail.   the ipod works fine i can scroll throught lists the seconds and minutes of the song or video roll on by so it is playing but no sound is being produced.
    if anyone could help me with this ASAP it would be greatly appreciated and i would be one grateful man to have my music back. thank you in advance

  • Up next doesn't seem to work properly with multiple speakers over airplay. The status bar on the computer shows the song playing, but not over airplay. When I restart the song it plays, but the same thing happens when the next song cues up. Any ideas?

  • TS1425 Ipod has Suddenly gone mute, songs play but speakers are quiet???? Any help and suggestions, short of Apple, unhelpful and costly solutions, Please?????

    Ipod I am using suddenly went mute, songs play but spekaers are quiet!!!!! ANy helpful advice, short of Apple help which is costly and a long wait time, Like Dell!!!!
    Thxs

    Hmm.. I should try that! I think last time i did that was how my computer got everything back but now I'm in worse matters....
    Now my songs have dissappeared again... and this time, iTunes will NOT recognize it...
    uFF~!!!! I hate my Ipod! I'm sick of the horrible support, the problems, glitches... its done with, maybe I should invest in a Zune... seeing that its working fine for my friends...
    I just wish I could get this thing to work! I mean the Warranty is way over, and then if I wanted to trade it in... they'll give me only 10% of it back by buying an Ipod.. and that goes with ANY Ipod... even newer ones..
    I am now rethinking about buying an Ipod Classic, I mean i need to rely on it, and if it fails like my past Ipods.. why should I use 250 dollars on something that won't be reliable.
    I hope Apple is happy, I used to love Ipods.. I used to love Apple.. but over the last years, the service and support has been riduclous, and maybe if they were to change their ways, maybe I'll come back.
    But yes Runner, I agree, they're nothing but trouble, we should both just go to Circuit City and buy ourselves a Zune. Which I hear is great in reliability. LOL
    Take care, and if you know what I can do to my Ipod to save it, let me know! LOL

  • Itunes - Video file conversion (Picture but no sound)

    When I convert videofiles (avi, wmv) to Ipod/Iphone using Itunes i get the picture but no sound.
    Please help me.

    It's an issue with the file being multiplexed (a.k.a muxed, where the audio and video tracks are interleaved together into one track). iTunes can't export the audio from these files. Read more about it here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1721?viewlocale=en_US
    And then here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1588?viewlocale=en_US
    You can download a 3rd party program that will convert the files for you so they work properly. Check out this link:
