ITunes problem with speakers

This only started recently, but when I play music on iTunes, it starts off fine but every once in a while, sound will stop coming from one speaker (or sometimes both). I thought it was a problem with my speakers at first, but then I realized that pausing and resuming the song would fix the problem. So I tried playing songs with other programs and tried the audio on websites and they work fine. Not too sure what the problem is.

Some have posted issues using the Apple TV with extended networks.
Is it possible that it is some sort of interference to your network that is causing problems rather than distance. Have you tried using a different wifi channel.

HT1926 (iTunes) Problem with Windows installer package?

(iTunes) Problem with Windows installer package? I try to install the new version of iTunes but get an error "Problem with Windows installer package. A Program required for this install could not be run." Can anyone help shed some light for me as to how to correct this? I have tried to install the program through Chrome, Explorer and FireFox but have had no success. I have included a screenshot of the error. Hopefully it's visable. Thank you for any help.

Found answer for anyone else curious. I love the apple community. Thanks guys for help!

Audio has ceased when at Amazon and with e-mails with audio attachments. This only during last few days previously O.K. Windows Media Player still working so no problem with speakers only happens with online audio. John

Operating system Windows 7. A few days ago no problems with audio, clear sound when listening to e-mail audio attachments and Amazon music samplers. During last 2/3 days both attachments and samplers fail to work, but when playing music from library held in Windows Media Player no problems. This would appear to show no problem with speakers etc and I have not knowingly amended any audio controls.

Thank you so much for replying.
Yes I have removed and reinstalled WMP.
I had good results with the PD6 application installed on the default path onto the C: drive with the one exception that if the application was launched by accident and the user data path was not available, the PD6 application would blow away my custom user path registry settings. Now that I know what they are I have made a .reg file to repair my registry to my desired user data paths.
Installing the application on the removable drive appeared to help prevent me from launching the application by accident and overwriting my registry with default user paths.
So which is the less of the two evils?
If the application directory is not available, windows media player still tries to launch the .msi for installing PD6.
If I install the application to the C: drive but the user data to the removable drive, launching the PD6 application without the user data drive will still corrupt my registry settings for a user data path.
Both these issues seem like a logical (if not easy) fix that should be done in the PD6 application and installation package. I mean really, cannot anyone tell me why windows media player is checking the PD6 application directory? Why in PD4 did we have an option control for setting the user data path from the PD4 application? Why is this option not in the PD6 application, just the installer?
I am given a choice during installation to move the user data to another non default location. Why else would this be provided if not to accommodate my kind of request to store the user data into an alternate location other than “My Document”. Certainly Palm is not trying to force the users on how to protect and store their personal data?

Itunes problem with windows Vista

ok i bought my touchsmart tx2 1025 with windows vista ultimate 64 bit and well i ve noticed that ..well since this is my third time i exchange this computer and i noticed there was a problem with the speakers when i was playing music that anytime during a song i would get this distorted sound like when u put a lot of volume in ipod headphones that it sounds like a crack. Well that happened in my computer even with low volumes.
However I played two times the same song on itunes and two times on windows media player.
Every single time on itunes the sound came as if the speakers were about to blow... like a crack..
Every single time on Windows media player it never sounded like that.
So i am pretty sure its an itunes problem. Does anyone know how to fix this.. i would rather use itunes than windows media player but i really hate the sound it makes sometimes because it shows about 2 to 3 times during one song.

It's possible that the song your playing does indeed have a little audio distortion in it, some media players are capable of filtering it out in a silent way, others play a beep, hence with one song I have, if i play it in windows media player it goes on and then for a split second theres a beep, iTunes doesent seem to do it, so instead of filtering out the missing data, it plays it.
This is more likley a problem with the song than iTunes

Problems with Speakers

Hi,
I've had my Airport Express for a couple of years all has been fine until now, I've not used it for a while and wanted to get back to streaming my music into my study.
The unit joins my network without any problem, iTunes allows me to select the Airport Speakers however when I select Play from iTunes I get this error "An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker "RemoteRoom" An unknown error occured -3256"
I've tried from my iMac and my laptop, both have the same problem, the speakers are also working fine. I am stumped, multiple restarts later I hoped somebody has an idea what this error is and how I can get around it?

I'm having the same issue David,
everything was fine until I updated my iTunes to 8.01. giving me the same 'unknown error -3256' when I try to connect Airport Express with iTunes 8.01. This is troubling since it still works with my other computer which is running iTunes 7.0.
Guesses anyone? I'll post any finding I come up with, please anyone else do the same.
Thx

Itunes problems with windows 7 64 bit

Hi, i have searched and searched for a solution to my on going problems with itunes on my windows 7 64bit computer.
it started with my backups not being saved when i sync, then any music i add seems to play strangely i.e skips and plays the start of the song in the middle.
updating last sunday to the new iphone os (4.3) was also a disaster, having to try a number of times over 2-3 days as the downloads just seemed to hang and not do anything. At the end on around my 10th try it downloaded and updated in around 15 mins.
I now find myself when i connect to itunes more often than not having to manually delete corupt backups until i get a succesful one as sometimes it works and other times it doesnt.
I tryed a vista computer a friend has and everything worked perfectly!
songs, backups the lot!!
So it clearly seems like a problems between windows 7 64bit and iphone 4.
can anyone please shed some light on these issues??????
Many thanks, gaggie...

I am not sure that I can help with this, but I have seen an instance where continuous backup software cased playback problems.
Also are you using any Norton products?

Itunes problems with Vista

Has anyone run into a problem with Itunes not being able to play audio tracks from cd, and not able to import from a cd? (Using Vista Ultimate)I can play existing audio files, but not from a disc and it won't import.
I have tried uninstalling vers. 7.1 and re-installing. I have tried updating my firmware for my two drives and I have also enabled administrative permissions for Itunes under the, annoying UAC built into Vista. Nothing seems to resolve the issue.
Voyagerman

Which versions of each? iTunes was updated to 7.5. iTunes may not support x64.
Did you tell or let iTunes during the install to "use iTunes for playing all supported media?"

Reinstalling iTunes, problem with duplicates

I have an iMac 2GHZ running OS X v10.5.7 which is having multiple longstanding problems with freezing/errors and no significant problems show up after running disc utilities (repairing permissions etc..) or Tech Tool. Also my itunes music folder is full of duplicates that don't show up on my i tunes duplicate or "Dupin" duplicates list. iTunes library shows 43 GB space used and iTunes Music folder shows 95 GB space used.
I would like to start from scratch, reformat my hard drive and reinstall iTunes to see if it solves most of the problems. I am using Time Machine for backup but also can make a bootable clone with Super Duper. I wonder if it would be better to restore my iTunes from an iPod since none of the duplicates exist there.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
B

Itunes problem with visual c++ runtime

I have not had any problems with my itunes for windows before. But today as soon as I opened itunes, an error message came up with "microsoft visual c++ runtime library" in the window title bar and "application requested runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. please contact the application's support team for more information". Once you click ok in the window, itunes closes and you can't do anything with it. I have downloaded the latest version of itunes and it still states that. a couple of days ago i did download itunes plus but it doesn't seem like that's the culprit. Can anyone help? Thanks!

i do hope so, considering that i can't access any of
my music or account information at all because of it.
I could always try to remove itunes and reload but I
can't remember the songs that I've downloaded since
the last time I made a library backup (last month).
Here is the answer. First you download the latest iTunes and intstall it. You will not lose your iTunes library by doing this. Then, if you get the "can't save iTunes library" error, you follow the instructions on this page - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313 - it worked for me!

Itunes problems with new nano, purchased songs

Hello all. I am having a few problems with my itunes and newly purchased nano that hopefully you guys can give me some advice on. First of all, when i plug in my nano, it does not recognize it unless i close itunes and reopen it. Then, it takes a few minutes to open and acts like it is a new nano every time i open it. Meaning, it asks me to name the nano and asks me to apply all the settings etc. After that it works. I then can eject it. If I then re open itunes, with my nano not plugged in, itunes thinks that my nano is plugged in and says its corrupted. If i attempt to do anything in itunes, it freezes up.
In an unrelated problem, i am forced to authorize my computer to play my purchased songs every time i open itunes. It never remembers when I authorize it.
Thanks in advance for your help i definitely appreciate it!

OK, could not resist. I did go ahead and put my old run history back into the new & now restored Nano. No problems. Everything is fine. (Be remember, this is not something that is supported or approved by Apple or Nike.)
There may be no connection between adding the old run data files to the new Nano and the sound & freezing problems. Others have already complained about those.
However, what I will say is that you should never mess around with the Nike+ xml "Preferences" file or the "Best" file. These are invisible for a reason. You can put your old xml run data files into your "latest" folder and thus get them on your new Nano, but you CANNOT change your Totals on your new Nano no matter what you muck around with. However, if you try it and things go wrong, doing a "restore" should save the day.
And it should save the day for sound problems and recurring Nano freezes unless you have a defective Nano.

Problem with speakers/headset working together

I'm trying to set it up so all my sound comes through the speakers except for Ventrilo, which would come through the headset. The mic on the headset is working fine, and there are no problems with the speakers at all. The only problem is getting only Ventrilo to come through on the headset.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the Conexant HD Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45001-45500/sp45166.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the Conexant 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, 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 f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, 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 Conexant installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

Problems with speakers shutting down

I have a gigaworks pro 5.1 surround sound system I've had it for about 2 years now and i'm starting to have this problem with my speakers shutting down even though there is power running to the system I can hear a sencer click when the system shuts down when I try to start it by pressing the on button or flip the switch on the back of the system the system will not start I have to unplug the hole system and plug it back in to start the system and then the system will work for a few minutes and shut down again I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem and if so how did they fix it

Hi faizraja,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you.
I grasp that it will not shutdown from the menu options and the speakers don't work most of the time.
I would try a Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8). Just to be on the safe side, I suggest backing up your personal files to prevent loss.
Here is a link to No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8) to assist with the speaker issue. Are you accidentally muting your system? Here is a link to HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide, please not page 12 item 3 for this option.
If this has not helped, I suggest you do a recovery back to factory. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8).
You will receive a prompt to backup your personal data to prevent loss. If you have not done one recently, I suggest you do one now.

IPhone sync to iTunes problem with version 10.3.1

I've just upgraded to iTunes 10.3.1.55 and my iPhone will no longer sync to iTunes. I've tried downloading and reinstalling but this made no difference.
I get the following message:
"iTunes cannot read the contents of the Iphone. Go to the summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings"!
I picked up elsewhere that there was a problem with 10.3 which was supposed to be corrected with 10.3.1 but it seems that this update had not cured the problem.

Thanks for the info, Tom.
I've gone thru that Interoperating guide but I'll go thru it again. I don't see any error messages in my server logs. This is a single instance although the database does have multiple server instances connected to it. The data source name would be the same for all the server instances. Mine is the only one using the MDBs & WLS 10.3.1, others are using the stateless session beans. I'm using XA drivers & connection factories but I don't have any specific transactions defined in the Java code. Initially I didn't have the auto-acknowledge specified initially but thought maybe that is the problem. I have not knowingly specified any non-transactional config - if I did it would be via an omission.
So, if there is no problem in the WLS 10.3.1 supporting this acknowledgment then I'll keep reviewing my configuration.
Thanks again. I'll try to remember to post my solution.

ITunes - Problems with Audio Configuration

I have been an iTunes user and Apple lover for years and have used these products for years. On my Toshiba laptop I have run iTunes for years without problems. HOWEVER, when I installed the latest iTunes, I get the following error: "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration." What the BLEEP does this mean. Never before have I had an issue. Please advise. Thank you!

I was bitten by this one too, and this fix worked for me too.
This is about the 3rd time that a new version of iTunes has caused me problems - the 2nd time it's been a serious one. Not a great record.
