Itunes sound distorted when loading webpages

Hi,
I recently got a new laptop (like a week ago) and installed iTunes 9. This worked fine at first, but starting yesterday the sound gets distorted half the time I load webpages or open applications.
I've had this before on older computers, and assumed it was because of their limited technical capabilities. I don't think that's the case here, though.
Does anyone have any idea where the problem could be situated? Or might it be technical after all?
Thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Steven

Sounds like your audio midi settings are not being stored properly.
I'd try deleting com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist and resetting
audio midi.
As you know, iTunes only reads the audio midi settings when it starts
up, so I'd do that with itunes not running.

  • Why am I getting sound distortion when connecting iPad 2 to amplifier.

    I am getting sound distortion when connecting iPad or iPod thru amplifier using AirPlay or 3.5mm to rca cables. Also the sound has far too much bass. No problems when connected in car.

    It sounds like a mismatched impedence.  What are you connecting to?   the output from the jack is intended for headphones, and is not just an audio out.
    Try turning the volume on the pad way down, and use the gain on your amp, and see if that minimizes the issue.
    There is a pure audio signal for both channels on the 31 pin plug, but you would need a special cable to use it.  I would bet they are available if you google.  Although I have read that the 31 pin signal is not filtered like the headphone output, so while it is a pure audio output, there may be some noise in it that would need to be filtered.
    Try google for a 31 pin cable.  ( the input for the car is probably built to take a signal from a headphone output, while your amp may be expecting a lower power signal)

  • Output sound distortion when USB Mic Connected

    Hi everyone,
    Really appreciate anyone’s help on this sound distortion problem.
    I have been using the new 2014 iMac 27' for last 8 Months, bought Brand New, and recently updated to Yosemite. Everything worked fine including recording, until this update.
    I'm using Blue Yeti USB Mic for recording, and few days after the update I was trying to record in GarageBand and the output sound (via headphone connected to USB MIc) started to distort and then suddenly dropped the bitrate/ sound and I could only hear some clicks. I reinstalled the GargeBand, still its the same distortion happens. The sound gets back to normal, only for few seconds, after I unplug the USB cable from the Mic device. And I tried changing the bit rate and again sounds starts to drop after few sec. This happens only when I connect the Blue Yeti USB Mic and sound output from the Mic itself. Same thing happens with iTunes as well. Output sound from Internal mic and speakers are working fine as normal.
    I tried connecting the USB Mic to my Windows laptop and its working fine with the Cubase 5 without any problem. So the problem is with the output sound, when external Mic connected.
    I don’t know the solution for this. Have checked on every single blog/ thread, sill couldn’t find the answer I’m looking for, to fix this.
    It would be great if you have any kind of a solution for the same.

    Nope. The larger buffer didn't work. What did work was running a cord out of the 1/4-inch jack from the direct box to a 1/4-to-1/8-inch adapter and then into the mic/line-in jack on my computer. I set GarageBand to use the built-in line-in and had no static problems. It's a stopgap until this gets fixed.

  • Adjusting iTunes Sound = Distorted Audio

    Hello,
    I have been having a problem with adjusting the sound on iTunes ever since I downloaded iTunes 7. When I have the volume set at full on the iTunes volume indicator, the sound is perfectly normal. However, when I lower the bar at all, the sound immediately becomes distorted and is painfull to listen to. Does anyone else have this problem? Can anyone help me?

  • Sound distorted when I listen to headphones since installing latest update

    Ever since installing the update on my iPhone 5s, the audio is distorted whenever I try to use headphones. The sound is fine until I plug my headphones in, at which point it sounds muffled as if I am listening to the music through the walls.  I have not damaged my phone recently and also tried this with two different pairs of headphones. Both headphones work fine when I plug them into other items; it only gets distorted when I plug in headphones. Please help!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Safari 3.1.1 hesitates when loading webpage

    I have a G4/667 (circa 2001) running OS X 10.4.1
    I noticed that Safari 3.1.1 hesitates noticeably when loading a webpage. The blue progress bar freezes at the beginning, & SLOWLY progresses. (it's really maddening & gets on my nerves) I tested the webpages on Firefox, & it DOESN'T HAPPEN.
    What is going on? I think other users have noticed the same thing.
    I tried everything: empty Safari cache, restart computer, run Onyx to clean things up.

    Hi
    running OS X 10.4.1
    I think you meant 10.4.11 as Safari 3.1.1 is incompatible with earlier versions of OS X.
    What you describe is more of a Network issue. Go to your System Preferences Network panel. Do the following:
    -Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the location drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
    -Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Depending on whether you use Ethernet or Airport (wireless) for your setup: Only Ethernet or Airport ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply". Everything else ought to be unchecked unless you use a Bluetooth device.
    -Back to the "Show" menu, select either "Ethernet" or "Airport" (whichever applies to you). Click on the TCP panel. There, if you live outside the US enter 208.67.222.220 and 208.67.220.222 (separate lines) in the DNS servers box - these are Opensource DNS codes. and select "apply". If you live in the US use Verizon's 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 public codes instead of the OpenDNS codes.
    Restart Safari

  • Massive Slowdown when loading webpage

    Firefox become incredibly slow when loading in a webpage, especially ones with a lot of flash content. The progress wheel would lag, and scrolling will be jaggy etc. I am forced to switch to Chrome because this issue is getting on my nerves.

    Hello,
    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.

  • ITunes Match crashes when loading playlists on Apple TV

    After the update to OS 6.1.0 on my 2nd gen Apple TV, iTunes Match won't load any playlists. When attempting to load, the device crashes and drops me back to the home screen. This ONLY happens with playlists. All other attempts to play back music works fine.
    I have reset the device and installed the latest update. All other devices can play playlists from iTunes Match.

    Update
    I tried the Apple TV in my second house. Same problem.
    Apple: wake up!
    We should perhaps gather some facts.
    I have 31 playlists; two of them are doubled by sync issues.
    I also have 43 intelligent playlist whereof 5 of them are doubled ones with the number "1" added to the name.

  • Safari freezes when loading webpages, rainbow wheel

    When loading some webpages, especially blogs with pictures from blogspot.com, safari freezes about 75% into loading the page. The rainbow wheel appears and spins indefinitely and does not stop until I force quit the program. This happens on Firefox, too. The problem occurs nearly every time I try loading these webpages.
    This problem began once I installed Leopard.

    Nevermind, I figured it out.
    Some flash files were corrupted, so I updated those and repaired permissions.

  • What iTunes window opens when loading iTunes

    When I open iTunes I notice that it either opens to "music library" or "the itunes store" and it depends on where I was when I last closed iTunes. I would like to have iTunes open to "music library" every time...is there a setting the can make that happen??

    iTunes will open to the last view that you had before closing iTunes. Therefore before closing iTunes - be in the main iTunes browser window when closing iTunes.

  • ITunes sound distorted

    Recently when I use iTunes to play files in my iTunes folder (the files are mainly MPEG4s ripped and encoded using iTunes) the sound is extremely distorted (it used to be fine). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes but it is still the same. The files play fine with Real Player but I want to use iTunes. Also I don't want to sync my iPod in case the sound on that becomes distorted too (which means I can't load any new songs to my iPod) and some of the files are ones I have bought from the Apple shop and they dont play in Real Player.
    ... Help please!!

    Thank you very much, it looks like that has solved the problem I am just checking that everything is working fine then I can click that 'solved' button!
    Can you explain what is the difference between Quicktime in safemode and not? most of my music files are unprotected so I wonder why they played with (a lot of) distortion before I did what you said.

  • Itunes sound distortion

    All my songs in Itunes when played have distorted sounds, audio clipping or freeze up and this happened all of sudden for no reason with ITunes 9.01 which was working for a few days perfectly until yesterday. I played itunes files in Quicktime with no problem and I been searching forums for help with this issue.
    So far I tried updated sound drivers, directx drivers, I changed options on QT in control panel to 16 bit, even put it in wavsound safe mode from the default direct sound, turn off EQ in itunes adjusted preamp & turned off sound enhancer too. I have reinstalled Itunes 9.01 and tried a older version 8.2 with no luck there either. I even updated my windows vista to SP2 for the heck of it hoping it would fix the problem.
    I have a sound blaster X-FI and I changed various options with sound card settings with no results. I know it is probably not my system or sound card: Current Specs 3.2 ghz intel processor, 3gig ram, sb blaster x-fi and so on. Also, played music with wmp player and dvds no clipping.
    I dont know if this makes difference in identifying the problem, but the windows startup sound clips and distorts too for some reason. I hope someone has the magical solution to fix this issue short of reinstalling windows in hope of fixing the issue.

    This worked.
    Can Apple / Itunes not just do an upgrade to fix this as I think every one should have the same problem?

  • ITunes 7 crashes when loading Library - please help

    I loaded ver 7, all was well for a day or two. I was loading some new music from CD when itunes crashed. I fired it back up and my library was missing, although the files were still on the HD. I have tried every way I know to get itunes to list the files again (add folder, move library folder then move back…), but every time after about 30 seconds of reading files into the database, itunes crashes. I have tried small subsets, closing all other applications, completely removing itunes and reloading. I have not tried reverting, yet (I hate to give up). Oh, for what it is worth, my iTunes icons were good prior to the crash, now I also have the misterious icon error... Thanks ahead for any ideas!

    Is your computer doing anything else at the time? I had problems with itunes freezing when I had 8 browser tabs open, & was switching between all.
    Have you recently moved any itunes folders? I had the constantly updating my library problem when I moved all my music to an external drive (inevitable in itunes), then when I had to move the itunes program itself to the external drive (as it was storing many Gb's of podcasts on the 40Gb main hard drive).
    Did you update to 7.2? I am also running xp pro & asked a question here about updated from 7.1. From the advice I had gotten, I'm sticking with 7.1. Perhaps you can roll back the installation (though not sure you can do this with itunes, as is possible with windows media player). If not, uninstalling 7.2 then reinstalling 7.1 might bring your system back to normalcy. Sometimes fixing something takes too much time and effort when what you had before worked fine. Good Luck!
