Itunes play back volume

Since updating to the latest itunes I have noted a marked decrease in volume levels. Even on full volume playback is alot lower!

That's what iTunes -> Preferences -> Playback -> Sound Check does - equalizes the volume across tracks to provide a more-even playback.

Play back Volume Help

Anyone know how to set the playback volume so that all the songs on my ipod will play at the same level? When I'm playing the songs through my car stero, some songs I have to turn the stero volume up and others I have to turn the volume down. I have the "sound check" option checked on the playback tab under preferences in itunes, but it doesn't seem to help. Thanks,

On the iPod go to settings-->sound check-->on

Itunes plays back with loud static

A problem has occurred on itunes.
I was playing some music on itunes from my library... I was also looking through the itunes store. I clicked on a track I had found and it started to preview it. However halfway through the preview the song was dominated by overbearing static noise. Now all tracks in my library have the same static issues. This has only happened with itunes, windows media player is not malfunctioning. I tried to re-install itunes to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Please help thanks.

Yeah it really ***** because I can't figure out what to do. I even reinstalled itunes as well. I guess i'll keep searching for a solution.
Let me know if you find anything out.
Until then I suggest using songbird. Its very similar to intues, though it is much newer and doesn't have all the features of itunes. However it has a bunch that itunes does not have. Also its opensource like mozilla, so it is bound to get better over time.

ITunes movie playback volume problem on iPad 2?

I have an iPad 2 and have the same problem I had with my original iPad....movies rented or bought in iTunes play back at such a low volume I need to hold iPad up to my ear to hear dialog. Otherwise I've had no problems with sound on either iPad. Can someone help?

In Switzerland there is the same problem.
As for me :
1. I reset my ipad -> no effect
2. I restored -> no effect
3. I installed the newest version of Itunes on the computer and sync -> no effect...
4. It is impossible to use the I tunes U on the ipad, while Itunes U on the computer is working...
5. I dit hat M41B said, get back on itunes U located on the iPad and ... ouwwwww.... still blinking ! It is impossible to download using iPad. What I get as "solution" is to open the computer, then download the course, then sync ... Well not very easy !
Thus, I consider not serious for such a machine sold at this outrageous price in Switzerland !
Try to contact "express lane" for support and ... yep ! you have to use your pocket full of money again !
"Itunes U" in the Ipad is still blinking 10 oct6ober 2011 - impossible to download anything !
Guess someone "up there" think is not so interesting to allow the use of the iPad for students ...

Songs play back in different volume levels

Some of my songs play back in different volume levels. How does one make the songs play back in the same volume. I know there's some setting you enable in itunes, but it's always enabled on my system. So why doesn't it work?

I know there's some setting you enable in itunes,
Do you know what this "some setting" is?
In iTunes, go to menu Edit -> Prefs - Playback.
Tick Soundcheck.
On the iPod, go to Setting Soundcheck and set to On.
Resync the iPod.
Note that Soundcheck is not foolproof and there may be some variances on the levels between songs.
You can use this application -> MP3Gain
to better analyze and adjust the levels of your songs.

Low volume when playing back voice memos.

When I play back a voice memo on my 5S, the volume is very low. Voice texts from other people are nice and loud, ringtones and music are audible from several feet away, people have no problem hearing me, nor I them, when I use my speaker phone, so I don't think this is a problem with the speaker nor with the microphone. Any suggestions other than 3rd party apps, speakers or headphones? I would like to think that the phone doesn't need any external help with one of its built-in apps.

I found the solution in another thread. There is a little speaker icon on the upper right of the voice memo screen that is white normally, but if you tap it, it turns blue (on my iPhone) and the volume is essentially at the same level as other sounds like music, ring tones, etc.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise. I have seen lots of old posts which go on about converting files but am wondering wherher at the current time with the latest versions of itunes and apple tv whether this should by now be a virtual play out of the box solution.
I have tried connecting my atv to the amp by optical cable but that didnt produce anything better and am assuming that a hdmi cable should be able to reproduce everything an optical cable does.
Is this something I should be able to achieve without having to recode the files?
Tracks are imported to itunes as apple lossless, have tried setting the atv audio settings to auto and 16 bit, neither works yet I was told some time ago by an apple rep that the atv shoud be able to handle any type of audio as it just passes it to the amp to decode. I am not stupid but not that technical when it comes to audio and bitrates etc so any explaination would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help

Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

I recently had to back up itunes play lists to external hard drive, how do I restore the library from the external hard drive to the new computer

I recently had to back up itunes play lists to external hard drive whilst computer was fixed. reinstalled itunes but dont know how to reinstall my music from external hard drive. help?

The same way the library was copied/moved to the external drive.
Copy it from location A to location B.
Then point iTunes to the correct library.

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out". No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record. Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song. No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8). It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

I realise there have been a number of threads like this now that I have started looking, the problem is the back-ups i made were saved to a server network which has now also gone down, a case of dreadful luck really. Is there any other way to get the music back?

I had all my iTunes music backed up onto a hard drive; but the hard drive was stolen along with all the files I backed up onto it. However, the songs I had in iTunes still show up (I just can't play them.) Would it let me get them back?

I had all my iTunes music backed up onto a hard drive; but the hard drive was stolen along with all the files I backed up onto it. However, the songs I had in iTunes still show up (I just can't play them.) If I were to use iCloud, would it still take those songs and let me listen to them (and maybe re-download them?) Or am I out of luck?

Open iTunes, go to the iTunes Store, and then go to Purchased on the right hand side under Music Quick Links.
You can re-download all the songs, apps, or books you have previously purchased.
I'm not sure if this is a requirement, but just in case, make sure you download the latest version of iTunes (v10.3) too.

HT2375 Using logic 9: play back of all project files now has problems: Track volumes are way off - if panning is set to center then you cant hear that track? Even if pan is adjusted tracks are low and or distorted I have looked at core/built in audio

Been having project play back problems for about a month. Sometimes when I open a project the volume of certain tracks is low and or distorted. Oddly if a midi track is panned to the center (0) its volume is too low and if I pan right or left the track becomes louder. Sometimes this doesn't help and if it is an audio track things become distorted.
Although things have been working good for about a year now I think it has something to do with the fact that I have to take the laptop to work and use headphones/built in audio for play back and then take it home and use different audio interface but I can't be sure. The settings in preferences/audio/devises seem to be correct.
I have not added any plug-ins recently. I have not downloaded any new programs recently other than a NI tutorial video (shouldn't have any affect) but I am trying to use a new midi controller but again that shouldn't have any affect on play back of existing track?
Any suggestions?

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

I bought a movie on iTunes but when I try to watch it plays back slowly with no sound. Then the video will speed up and the sound will work for a moment then off again and back to slow motion. I have a dell laptop running windows 7

ITunes skips/pauses when playing back .wav or .aiff files

Hello all,
Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 6.01, every .wav or .aiff file I play results in skipping playback. Sometimes the sound will pause, other times it will skip half a second or more. It sounds like a scratched CD without the screeching.
The iTunes visualiser goes 'flat' during these periods of silence, implying that it thinks the silences are breaks in the music. Rewinding the skipped portion usually results in it playing back satisfactorily, although it will continue to skip throughout the remainder of the track, as it would have done without my intervention.
They still skip when opening the files in QuickTime Player, although not as much - perhaps once a tune rather than the five-almost constant in iTunes. Also, they worked perfectly in both programs before I upgraded to 6.01.
Anyone else having this problem, or is it just me?
I've sent feedback to Apple, but other than that, I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time,
Tony Ghirra

I updated the AE firmware and made sure my airport and AE software were current, but the problem is still there. One thing that makes it hard to track is that the amount of skipping varies during the day, so sometimes it will play an album without skipping, and others it will skip a few times per track (i.e. unlistenable). Still fiddling with channels to see if that helps...
There is one peculiar thing that happens only with playback involving AirportExpress, even if there are no skips in the track:
When iTunes approaches within (approx) 10-15 seconds of the end of a song, it will jump the time-display forward to the beginning of the next song: then the display will wait at the 0-second mark of the new song till the current song almost finishes (it will clip a couple of seconds off the end): then iTunes will start playing the next new song.
