ITunes + Certain Soundcards = Pops/Clicks!

I've been messing all day trying to figure out this problem and have made some progress. Please could you also test:
Download CR 01 from here http://www.billy-corgan.com/index.php?page=mp3s (this is a downloadable FREE album by the smashing pumpkins). The file is 32mb and contains 4 songs.
Play them in iTunes(windows) and listen out for out random pops/clicks. I hear them in the first 30 seconds of track 1. I am using an RME HDSP 9632 soundcard which is a rather expensive pro audio card.
The same file played through Windows Media Player has no signs of any pops/clicks using the same soundcard.
Now if I change the audio output from the RME card to the motherboards onboard audio, the same file in Itunes does not have any clicks at all.
At first I thought my soundcard might be to blame but this can't be the case because it works perfectly fine with other media players. It's just iTunes(7.1.3.1) that causes these problems.
Please test!

I'm sad to say I listened to the first 43 seconds of the first track. Now that I've finished vomiting, I can tell you that I didn't hear any click or pops (iTunes 7.2.0.35, Quicktime 7.1.6).
Try enabling safe mode in the Quicktime control panel, on the Audio tab. On my computer it sounds fine either way, but some people have better sound with safe mode enabled.
You may also want to upgrade your Quicktime (you can do that separately from iTunes, if you want).

  • Whenever I click on the Itunes icon, a window pops up saying that `The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes`.  I then click ok and the pop up vanishes.  Any ideas as to what I should do?

    What version of iTunes are you using? An .itl file is something that Windows uses, or very old versions of iTunes on Mac. The library file on Macs is now .xml and has been since late iTunes 4.
    Is iTunes running ok without any problems after you OK that message? If it is, then you may be able to ignore it if you can't account for why you're getting it. But make sure you take backups in case something happens in the future.

    You need to copy some files and your iTunes folder to the new computer. Do you have a backup of your old computer (or still have the old computer?) Was the old computer a Mac or PC?

  • When I input song information into "get info" for each of my songs, some do not save when I close my Itunes. When I click on the song the correct info pops back up.Why?

    When I input song information into "get info" for each of my songs, some do not save when I close my Itunes. When I click on the song the correct info pops back up.Why?

    I ran into the same problem, I think that, If you tab on a song that is on your IPOD, and the song data is grayed-out, I think it means that the song is probably twice on your IPOD and that the iTunes directory can not edit THAT song data for two (or more) files @once. Check if this is the case, sinceI have the same problem,am looking for a way to have One and the same song in more playlists but only keep the song once on the IPOD.

  • I got problem on installing iTunes. When I clicked iTunes out, two windows popped out. One said the procedure entry point CFAttributed String Create Mutable could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Foundation.dll.

    I got problem on installing iTunes. When I clicked iTunes out, two windows popped out. One said the procedure entry point CFAttributed String Create Mutable could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Foundation.dll. and one just said *Itunes was not installed correctly.  Please re install I Tunes Error 7 (windows error 127) . I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. But either way cant work. I really need some of your help! PLS HELP ME!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The error shares a similar pattern to that in the third box, so a similar approach should work. Look for CoreFoundation.dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support, delete it, then repair Apple Application Support.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • There is an exclamation pt. next to several songs in itunes. When I click on that song, it can't locate it. When I click on locate, it pops up a menu with numerous files. I'm afraid to click on the files. What's going on?

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • I downloaded Itunes but when I click to open i get an error message "check network connection and try again".  Windows 7 HP

    I have successfully downloaded Itunes, however, when I click on the IStore an error message pops up "check network connection and try again".  My network connection works perfectly and I have disabled all firewall and security programs.  I've tried uninstall and reinstall several times and still get error message.  Does anyone know how to get around this?  THANKS!

  • ITunes 9 Keeps popping up as the active windows!

    I'm extremely annoyed that iTunes continues to pop back up as the active window no matter what. I can't get any work done! What is causing this to happen?

    Hello - I had this same problem after a fresh install of windows 7....drove me crazy...I noticed that windows had installed my soundcard automatically, without the factory drivers. I downloaded and updated the original drivers for my soundcard, and it fixed the problem. I don't know if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me....hope it helps someone else. I am using a realtek onboard soundcard on a gigabyte board.

  • Itunes won't pop up

    My brother accidently uninstalled my last version of iTunes, and now, after I re-installed the latest version, itunes won't pop up when I click on it. I've tried clicking on both the start menu and on the screen, b/c I thought maybe the short cut was flawed. Nope! And besides this, connecting my ipod to the computer isn't working, either, to make it come up.

    I should have asked you if Quicktime works OK, as iTunes can't work without it,but I assume that Quicktimes is OK unless you let me know different.
    There are several things to work through here.
    Run a virus and spyware scan with up to date definitions.
    Try this link on deleting the configuration file:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1776?viewlocale=en_US
    Try briefly disabling your firewall to see if that allows iTunes to launch. Not a common issue now but a sign that the firewall needs reconfiguring it it works.
    Then something rather more complicated:
    A common cause of your problem these days is a problem with cryptographic dlls.
    Try working through *Method 4* in this article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
    If you manage to get through the whole process of un-registering and registering the dlls with out an error, try starting iTunes.
    If you get errors, make a careful note of all the errors and post back.

  • Why does itunes store not pop up and not tell me why?

    Why does itunes store not pop up and then not tell me why? i"m wondering if it could have anything 2do with me just transefering music with my flash drive?

    Does it show in the Purchased section for downloading ? Click on the Purchased under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
    If not then have you tried logging out and back into the account ? If that doesn't work either then try contacting iTunes Support :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • When i try and open itunes a memo pops up saying "itunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected" my iphone is not plugged into my mac so i dont know why its mentioning an iphone nor why i cant open my itunes library

    when i try and open itunes a memo pops up saying "itunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected" my iphone is not plugged into my mac so i dont know why its mentioning an iphone nor why i cant open my itunes library?

    Each time you connect your iPhone to iTunes, you need to eject it before closing iTunes by clicking on the little "eject" icon shown in iTunes.  It seems that sometime in the past, you did not do that.
    I'm not sure how to undo the previously done damage, but maybe a reboot of your Mac would help.
