ITunes plays through bluetooth headphone

Every time I tried play music in iTunes through bluetooth headphone, I had to remove and reconnect the device in System Setting panel. After I pressed the play button, the music just would not play at all, or sometimes there was skipping noise. However, playing sound in web browser worked fine. Quit and restart iTunes seemed to be able to "solve" this issue.

It just dawned on me that you are asking a windows pc-spedific iTunes question. Bluetooth yes, but windows none-the-less. I think you would be better off going to the apple forum specifically for windows itunes problems:

RAM preview audio will not play through bluetooth headphones

I am using bluetooth headphones (Jaybird Freedom Sprint) to try and edit audio/video in after effects. However, when I go to Preferences>Audio Output Mapping and choose "Freedom Sprint" and click OK, close the preference window, and it will automatically go back to the default "Built in Output" when I open it back up. It will only play the sound through the Mac Pro tower I am using. Is there a way to get the headphone option output to stay permanently?? Is there a reason why it is not staying selected? Another thing I forgot to mention is that all other sounds work (like iTunes, volume up/down) through the headphones except for the audio RAM preview in After Effects. How can I disable the audio from playing through the tower? Very frustrating!
BTW - the only time headphones actually work is when they are plugged into the tower. These ones obviously can't be plugged in.
Thanks! (Screenshots provided for help)

Thanks! I definitely did try that first... (trying to find a solution with the headphones). You can't find any info about them online/their website. Regardless though, After Effects will not allow me to play the audio output through any other device except for the Mac Pro tower - even playing it through the LCD Cinema Display won't work.
Thanks for your reply

ITunes 12.1 won't play through bluetooth speakers

Ever since the latest iTunes update (12.1.0.71 64 bit), my music from iTunes won’t play through my bluetooth speaker connected to my laptop. Every other sound the computer makes plays through the speakers while iTunes plays through the laptop’s built in speakers.The speakers are also set as the default audio device for the computer. There aren’t any options in the iTunes preferences that would allow me to choose an audio device to play music through.
**My iTunes is operating on a Windows laptop and the bluetooth speakers are JBL if this helps, but everything was working fine until this new update**

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 just purchased Duet 2 and am using it with Garageband 11. I am getting iTunes playbacks through the headphone monitors with Duet 2 but can get no guitar or vocals recorded. I get no volume

I just purchased Apogee Duet 2 and am using it with Garageband 11. I am getting iTunes playbacks through the headphone monitors as per quick startup directions. When I open Garageband I get the same identical stack of guitar and on pedal displayed. I get no sound from the guitar. I believe I have the set up exactly as per diagram and cannot figure things out. I am relatively green at this - my best intentioned purchase now feels like a nightmare!! Help!!

How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so it just plays through the headphones?

How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so that it just plays through the headphones?

First make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphones plug can still be seen.
If that's not the issue, try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63501-64000/sp63555.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the following link.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63001-63500/sp63408.exe
When the Chipset driver reinstallation has completed, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f9 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f5, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again before checking.
Regards,
DP-K

Itunes plays through computer speakers instead of bluetooth

I have a windows xp PC and i can use bluetooth to play music wirelessly from my computer using a bluetooth adapter from everything except itunes. Is there a setting in itunes that I can change to get my library to play to a wireless speaker? Could my wireless mouse and keyboard be conflicting with this somehow?
Thanks,

Is it possible to listen through bluetooth headphones?

Hi...i have just bought a decent pair of stereo bluetooth headphones but cant find a way of playing songs on it using itunes? Is it possible to do this?
Many Thanks
Rob

I think this is possible, try the following :-
1. Open System Preferences and select the 'Bluetooth' icon.
2. Click on the 'Devices' tab
3. Click on the Set Up New Device button
4. You will now get the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, select the device type 'Headset' and go through the assistant instructions to pair your headset to the computer.
5. Go back to System Preferences and select 'Sound'
6. In the 'Sound' preferences window, select the Output tab.
7. Hopefully you should see your Headset in the list of devices for sound output. If you do select it.
8. Any sounds your computer now makes, including iTunes music will be sent to the headset.

How to make itunes play through all 5 of my surround sound speakers?

Hi,
I'm new so hello everyone
Received some very nice 5.1 surround sound Logitech x-530 speakers this Christmas and they are absolutely brilliant. I tried them with a DVD and the surround sound is really good. However, I can't seem to get all the speakers to play my music through itunes, i.e. only 2.1 stereo sound is played through the 2 front speakers and subwoofer. I understand that this is because MP3 is recorded in stereo sound and so only plays through 2 speakers, but I'm hoping that there is a simple way to do what is described in a similar thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=817792&#817792
The answer to my problem is described as "Rear speaker cloning", i.e. playing the same music through the rear speakers as the front. However this is from almost 5 years ago so I'm hoping that there is now a clearer solution to my problem- could I even solve my problem simply through itunes preferences? Or do i need a specific program/driver?
My "Soundmax" sound card came bundled with my ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus mobo, if it's any help.
Many thanks in advance. I would really appreciate any help or advice.

Ipod touch only plays through left headphone/speaker

my ipod touch first gen recently started only working through my left headphone, at first i thought it was the headphones but then i tried it with numerous other headphones and speakers etc and it still only plays through one.
I've reset, restored the ipod and tried everything if any one can help it would be greatly appreciated.

What happens if my itouch is 2 months out of warranty? I don't think it's reasonable to ask me to purchase a new one for a headphone jack problem. I expect a 300.00 piece of electronics to last more than 14 months, call me crazy. Does anyone have a suggestion other than replace? The Apple Store in Orlando told me it would cost about the same as a new one to fix it. Please help!
