Itunes makes crackling feedback when any sound is played

Any one been noticing this? its just a couple crackles when audio starts to play or periodically here and there. big bug apparently. and its not my sound driver cause other people are having this problem too

and i run win 7 premium home - i just noticed that there is a volume control for a firefox plugin container in the sound mixer option - could there be an error with this?

When any sound is played online it is terribly gitchy and sounds awful no matter the site, but saved music and games sound perfect.

I just purchased a brand new desktop, athlon 2x dual core 260 with 4 gigs of ram. The computer just arrived yesterday in the mail and ever since first boot up no sounds play properly online (using IE and FireFox). The site doesnt matter, neither does the format. All drivers (realtek) and up to date and I just downloaded the most recent flash build. The problem persists if there is video or not. The real odd thing is that all saved music/video files sound perfect, so do games. Now if I stream music to WMP it sounds just fine, no problems, only when I try to play sounds from a site directly like youtube and the such. I have scoured all possible solutions online and have found no answers. Maybe someone could possibly solve this awful problem for me.

Updates to itunes 10.6.1.7 and quicktime 7.7.1 all the levels in any sound I play on my pc are distorted.

Since updating to itunes 10.6.1.7 and quicktime 7.7.1 (updated both at the same time so not sure which is causing the issue) all the levels in any sound I play on my pc are distorted. The main track in the sound file will be muffled or really soft such as the main vocals in a song. The secondary tracks (harmonies instrumentals etc) are really loud. I thought it was just iTunes, however EVERYTHING has been affected since this update. Windows media player and games, all with the same issue.
Any one experienced this and have any feeback on how to fix it?

I recently updated to the latest version of Itunes (11.1) and when i try to play music or tv shows, the sound lasts only for a second before going completely mute, anyone know how to fix this?

Check this thread out -> iTunes 10.4 & Multimedia Keyboard
It doesn't look like there is a fix yet, but some people in the thread are pointing to this workaround:

Following some suggestion i seem to have found a solution for the problem and my play/pause, next and previous buttons work with iTunes 10.4.1
- You need to open a text editor (like notepad) as an administrator.
- Open the SetPoint players.ini file (C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini)
- Edit the line under the [Players] section to match the line bellow (bold is the wndClass which is to be changed)
iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,ITWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
- Save the file
- Restart the SetPoint and hopefully play/pause, next and previous buttons should work (at least they work for me)

HT1390 I rented a movie and it shows up in my iTunes "Rented" section, but when I click to play it, it gives me an error message saying the movie can't be played because the original file can't be found. Please help!

Never mind I fixed it. Just in case anyone else has this problem, after you reinstall iTunes you have to delete all your old music, and if you have iTunes match all the songs you have saved on itunes match will display and you just have to download them to your Macbook.

Audio pop/crack when a sound is played!

Hello! I have a 2008 Macbook and i get a loud audio crack or pop when a sound is played. For example: I turn the volume up with the keyboard and when i push the key it hangs for a short time then comes the crack and the usual sound that is played. After that i can click the key again and it doesnt crack anymore but if i wait some seconds and push the key again then it cracks again with the first click. I installed an older osx version on a different partition with all updates and have same problem there. I did a vram reset and that didnt change anything. Someone please tell me how to fix that problem.

I think that's just the way it is. I have it, too, although it is not very loud and I have gotten used to it. I read something about this some time ago - some chip or circuit goes idle when no sounds are played for a while and when the chip/circuit gets activated a pop occurs. Here's a long cantankerous thread on the subject; there are bound to be others.

ITunes makes different folders when adding music,videos & pictures

Hi,
I use Windows 7. I have found that when adding music,videos & pictures iTunes makes different folder for it.
I have around 17GB of songs & music. but when I added them to iTunes library it made different folder containing all my songs. Now I have around 34GB of songs. What the ****! It does same for videos & pics.
Please Help!

Hi,
When adding a new song (or any media file) to the iTunes library, it copies those files to a folder (usually C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music ). iTunes does this to keep a backup of your songs. To deactivate this go to Edit>Preference>Advanced (or Ctrl+, then go to Advanced) and uncheck the checkbox "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". iTunes will not copy the music files to its folder. But there is one downside to doing so, if you change the directory (folder or place) of the music that you added to the iTunes library (without copying to its folder), the music will not be played. Trying to play such a song will provide you with a messagebox that asks you to relocate the song or to ignore it. So it is always a good idea to allow iTunes copy the music files to the specified folder automatically. But if you are concerned about the disk space, you can delete the songs' copy of yours (the directory you select).
If you want to add some songs to the iTunes Media folder, you right click a song (or multiple songs) and click on "Consolidate Files...". These songs will be copied to the iTunes Media folder and it will be there whatever happens.
If you are afriad that copying a songs will not allow you to copy the music files to another directory from the iTunes Media folder, you shouldn't be. The folder is similar to that of anyother.
Adding a song without using iTunes is also possible, just copy the songs you want to add to "C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes".
Regards,

Itunes does not work when I want to play Mp4 videos with most recent versions

When I want to play videos with mp4 format on itunes, it does not do anything and I have to close itunes with the windows system manager. Does any one know how to solve this problem? I did not have this isue with 10.5 and previous versions of itunes.

I found the solution, the problem was the encoding of the configuration files.
I put:
=> Encoding: UTF8 without signature
=> line endings: UNIX(LF)
And now it works :)

ITunes on Vista - crashing when I try to play purchased music

Crashes when I try to play purchased music that I've copied from another machine.
It has been authorized for two accounts, obviously ones that own the music, and playing songs brought from either account simply cause iTunes to crash, and it comes up with "iTunes has stopped working..."
Brand new vista install, and brand new iTunes install.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem. Trouble is Vista is a new operating system that went to market filled with problems, the main one being nothing was ready to be compatable with it. Apple support recommened upgrading iTunes to the latest version sine Vista will not recognise older versions. I upgrade every time one is offered. It stopped my Dell from crashing everytime I tried to use the iPod. Try it, it may work.

For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

ITunes freezes on me when I try to play music from a CD

When I try to play music from a CD, it will play two tracks in a row fine. After that, the program will freeze and I'll have to exit it. It keeps doing this on me, and even after uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, it still does it. It's weird how it only freezes after playing every two songs.
It also only does this to CDs. It's fine when I play music already downloaded on my computer. I recently updated to the latest version of iTunes, if that might have anything to do with it.

Boy this discussion sure seems useless. Comeon Apple! Time to step up the support! This is where you are weakest as a company.
Well anyway, I have the same problem. My old optical drive in my macbook pro crapped out when I dropped my laptop, so I just installed a brand new drive (UJ-857e), simultaneously with upgrading to Leopard, so it is unfortunately impossible for me to isolate this problem to itunes 7.5 vs. Leopard. It is clearly not a hardware problem however, since the cd's play fine with other audio programs.
So what I can offer as a work-around fix is to suggest you use a different program for audio cd playback than itunes and all should be fine if your hardware is fine. My program of choice is VLC, which in my opinion is the best free program out there for video formats of all kinds (most codecs included) and plays audio fine too.

ITunes 10.7 freezes when I attempt to play a song I purchased

Hi,
I have the latest version of iTunes, 10.7. I have been having a continuous problem with playing songs in my list. When I click the play button, the scrolling bar does not move and the song will not play. However, if I restart the PC and load iTunes, it plays as soon as I double click on a song in my list. When I boot up the pc for the first time, it will not play. It only plays if I restart. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Thanks!

itunes will freeze even WITHOUT playing a song...
7.6 release of itunes was rushed so Jobs could look good at Mac Convention.
Apple didn't seem to care it was completely buggy and usless for a program. And to top the cake, if you called Apple to try and find out why iTunes was freezing and running slow, Apple blamed your computer. So 1000s of iTunes users have bad comnputers (even though they are all 100% above the minimum requirements for iTunes to run). sad Apple...how about take ownership??
there is only 1 good fix at the moment. uninstall 7.6 and reinstall 7.5 (see other threads to see how to do this flawlessly).
