ITunes plays songs but the sound goes in and out on some...

Hi there,
I recently dumped my whole computer and reloaded all the programs. Upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7. I reinstalled iTunes and was surprised to see my music still there. Kind of weird but saved me the time to reinstall all my music. My iPod still connects and is recognized. Music plays fine on my iPod but when listening to music on iTunes while I work on my computer, many of my songs sound like parts of them are really low, or rather distant sounding, then a part sounds like it should, then it will fluctuate between the two. All this in one song.
I've checked my drivers, have the latest iTunes version. No iTunes plug-ins in the App folder. I just don't get it. I'm about to reinstall all my music but that is last resort. I've sat here for a considerable amount of time searching the discussion forums for a solution but doesn't seem to be a topic with this particular problem.
Any thoughts? Thanks for you help.

Does this happen with other computers or devices?

Use the Spotlight Search, maybe you just can't find it.
Try redownloading it:

I am unable to use Muse in-browser editing. I have followed the activation instructions both in Muse and invited users. I have an active site, but when I enter my site URL plus /admin, the graphic dots move but the site goes nowhere and I am never given a chance to enter my email and password. I would greatly appreciate any help. I am thanking you in advance, Bleu

I'd keep trying the other way. You may have hit it when BC was doing an update or something. If it works one way it should work the other way. But sometimes BC can be kind of temperamental and you have to do a little dance or something to get it to work. But it generally comes around and fixes itself in short time.
Have you tried the other way again?

The sound goes off and on while typing on keyboard

I would try to power cycle the device by holding the sleep/wake button till is says turn off. Maybe even reset by holding the sleep/wake and the home button at the same time. by chance if none of that works back up your device and restore it. Sounds like a software issue so that should fix it. You could always contact apple support aswell.

Itunes plays songs, but ipod doesn't

I am having a huge problem with my ipod! This is since I uploaded my songs to my computer and back to my ipod using eph pod. All of my songs seem to be on the ipod in formats that are okay, ie mp3 or m4p, but most of them are skipped by the ipod when I try to play them. All except for the mp3 files. I can't sync or anything like that, because i don't keep my music library on my computer, I backed it up to CDs. But when I plug my ipod into my computer, itunes plays ALL of the songs just fine. What should I do!!!!!
Thanks so much!

Hi,
I'm just going to give you a quick how to... so here it goes.
1. Back up all your songs into a folder on your computer.
2. Install iTunes 7 www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and all relevant updates.
3. Once that is done, use the backup/format install tool inside iTunes 7, comes up when you connect the iPod.
4. Then add items to your library again, and transfer them to the iPod.
Basically reformatting the iPod shoudl work. Make sure the the songs definatly play in iTunes and dont skip. You could find that the iPod has disk errors.
Let me know how it goes.

I just updated my phone and now my phone is acting up. Now while playing my ipod music the sound fades in and out how can i get this to stop and play whole song?

ok so last night i finally decided to do the upgrade on my phone... well i guess BIG mistake.... now my phone is tripping.... my apps arent working right.... had to delete fb several times..... my photos wouldnt load back up....and my ipod music wouldnt upload for @ least 2 hours.... really krazy... well im frustrated cause i really wanted to listen to my music and when i was trying to do so my sound kept going in and out..... all by its self.... how in the world can i fix this problem?????? HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!! Oh and i have tried resetting my phone several times with no such luck.....
Also side note my phone is really really slowwwwwwwww now!!
thanx again

But I do back up everything, as much as I am able...
However, it seems to me I've got to shift everything back into iTunes - Again.
if this is the norm, I would like to see - for others because now I know! - a little warning
"Hi, We're iTunes, and you need an update. So please update, just let it be known however, then when you do - we'll delete your catalog and any playlists. Thanks for using iTunes"
something like that, because now I've gotta re-load everything back... bolics I say bolics.

ITunes plays songs but iPod mini skips whole songs

I have an iPod mini with the latest version (1.4) as well as the latest version of iTunes for Windows. I have imported songs into iTunes and they play fine, they also seem to upload to my iPod just fine. But when I go to play these certain songs on my iPod it skips right over them. It shows the song and acts like its about to play but just as it should start playing it skips to the next song. Anyone heard of this?

Hi Josh and welcome to Apple Discussions.
First, make sure you've played at least some of the purchased song in iTunes to authorize it.
If you've played them in iTunes and the still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then to re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store in iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, then the computer will be authorized again. Sync you iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play again.
Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes. If you don't have the latest, you can get it from here.

ITunes plays songs in the wrong order

For the past few weeks iTunes has insisted on jumping all over the place when playing songs. It plays randomly, but only from the same artist. If I'm playing an album, it doesn't go automatically from track 1 to 2, but seems to select the next track completely randomly.
I've tried sorting the songs by artist, track number, album etc. but the problem persists. Yesterday I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, but that didn't help either.
Thanks in advance for advice and help!

I use iTunes and built in look up as well and it sort my library in album order. However this is assuming you sort the library by artist (click on the artist heading to sort by artist). And then within artist is will sort by album name alphabetically and within each album by album order.
Just checked and if I sort my library by album, albums get listed in alphabetical order but again, within the album it is in album order.
Grace Notes (CDDB) should fill in the track number and total number of tracks for you automatically.
So back to your last question, I am not sure what you mean exactly. Are we talking about sorting the library as a whole or do you mean specifically within Playlists?

Why is it every time I watch a movie or tv show on iTunes the pixels slow down and the audio goes in and out? But when I watch it on my iPad with iCloud it works perfectly?

My Question describes what I would initially say here.
All of the content is downloaded on my 2013 Windows HP in iTunes. Before last year I never had this problem but now all of a sudden the picture and audio will stop. The annoying part is that the video will continue playing but the audio will go out and/or vise versa.

Try resetting the SMC before you take it in.

Hp Pavilion dv7 Sound goes in and out and makes clicking noise

Recently my laptop has been having wierd audio issues and I'm not sure the cause. The laptop will get about 10-15 minutes into a movie or any sound extensive activity and the sound starts cutting in and out and making a weird clicking noise every time it does. One think I found helped sometimes was to plug in headphones into the headphone jack, however the laptop would randomly switch between the headphones and the external speakers on the laptop even if left alone. Sometimes it will just play out of the external speakers perfectly fine if I had headphones plugged into the jack. I was thinking that it may be the sound card, but I honestly don't know. Could someone share some insight on my problem?

Hi ,
Welcome to the HP Forums! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. Thank you for posting. I have read your post, and I understand that you are experiencing issues with speakers and headphones. The sound switches between the devices. And if you do not use headphone, the speakers will not work in 10 -15 minutes, and it will not play the sound right. Please test your laptop along the steps on this document HP Notebook PCs - No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8) And let me know if it helps. Regards,

Itunes plays songs but without any sound

Hey folks, I am having a problem with sound. I am running a Windows 64-bit Vista on a HP desktop. I contacted Apple and they suggested uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes and it didn't work. All the songs and videos will play in my Itunes but there is no sound. I have downloaded the newest version of Itunes. Any suggestions?

My itunes plays songs but I can't hear them

I am having trouble with itunes. The song is playing but I cannot hear it. My speakers are working and my volumes are all high. does anyone know what's going on? My ipod works perfectly, though.

First thing to check is the QuickTime settings. iTunes uses QT to play everything.

Why won't iTunes play songs all the way through?

I don't understand, and I am very frustrated... I JUST PAID for a bunch of music on iTunes & there are a few songs that play all the way through to completetion. For instance, I bought Rihanna's album LOUD & the song Fading only plays to :54 seconds; after which it claims to have played all the way through and skips to the next song? What the ****? I dont understand what the problem is... Help?

Delete the songs from your itunes library (just your library). Redownload them from the purchased section in the itunes store. I had the same problem and redownloading it worked for me.

Apple TV problem- Netflix message not availabale at present etc. On Itunes playing a movie the sound stops and starts how can the downloading hurry up. On the computer all OK.

Netflix keeps posting not available- have restarted it as directed but still a problem. Itunes movies dont download fast enough and stop and start. On the Imac computer no problem with sound or viewing.

What is your current connection using speedtest.net
I would check for interference using istumbler
Make sure DNS is set correctly on ATV (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)
