Itunes sound randomly dissapears (windows)

Hi, After checking everywhere, I haven't been able to find a solution for this.
When using iTunes 11 with Airplay (even if playing to multiple speakers, ie. to my computer and Airplay speakers), the sound "randomly" dissapears (Windows)
Description of the issue:
1.  Using iTunes 11 with Airplay (even if playing to multiple speakers, ie. to my computer + Airplay speakers).
2.  When itunes finishes a song, RANDOMLY, as it should start playing the next one,
       2.1   The next song's is not played ... (sound dissapears from all the speakers, including my computer speakers)
      2.1.   In the screen guider the songs keeps "playing"
3.  If I press the "PAUSE" button in iTunes and after a few seconds press "PLAY", the song restarts playing ... INCLUDING SOUND !
4.   This issue ONLY HAPPENS when using Airplay (if only using my computer speakers, it doesn't happen).
HELP!!!!!!!  
(I have tried everything: Updating sound drivers, reinstalling Quicktime and iTunes, deactivating sound enhancements in Windows and itunes, deactivating ipv6 in my network card - which fixed Airplay, ...)
Regards

I prefer iTunes and purchase loads of Tracks, I'm no newbie, but peed off with sound cutting out.
Resorted to playing my back catalogue through Media Player 9 - without a problem.
Why does my sound keep cutting out ?????
If you purchase a track and find it is defective, the music retailer will give you a replacement or refund. They are unlikely however, to just reimburse you for all your past purchases.
If one online music download store is not meeting your needs, try another. There are many. Ditto for players and programs.

  • All sound randomly dissapearing after use of about 2 hours or so

    My sound randomly stops working after a few hours of use. I need help because I tend to be in long-term Skype calls and when I'm editing or watching over a video for business purposes my audio randomly cuts out. I have found a way to fix it and one way
    only and that is to reset my PC. Is there any other solution?

  • Sound randomly stops working in Windows 8

    I have a new HP PC and the sound randomly stops working.  When the sound stops, it stops in all applications:  iTunes, Web Browser, etc.
    PC DETAILS:
    HP Omni 27 all-in-one desktop
    Windows 8 Pro
    In Device Manager, under Sound, this is what I have:
    - AVerMedia H334 MiniCard Hybrid ATSC/QAM
    - Bluetooth Audio Device
    - IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    I just set up this new pc this week and I have run all the windows  and drivers updates so everything is up to date.
    When I boot up the pc, the sound works fine for a while and then randomly stops working.  For example, if I play music in iTunes 11, the latest version, it may play for 1 minute or it may play for 10 minutes and then it just randomly stops playing sound and the sound will not come back until I reboot and the same thing happens all over again.
    I have searched this online and I found quite a few people posting similar sound issues with Windows 8, but I have not found a fix for this problem yet.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I do not understand that; if it's not installed, it cannot possibly be enabled.

  • ITunes 11.1.4 movie sound distorted on windows 8.1

    iTunes 11.1.4 movie sound distorted on windows 8.1, Songs play ok .  I have tried all sorts turning off Sound Enhancements etc ...

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?

  • Problems with itunes sound via bluetooth in windows 8

    itunes installed in computer windows 8.1 stopped working the audio via bluetooth, only itunes, the Bluetooth speakers work in the other programs and applications, music, movies, internet, even the regular windows sounds, it works, with itunes no sound, only sometimes, strange noise when you change tracks

    I had that problem too. Maybe it works when you change your Bitrate in Itunes. My Bluetooth speakers run at 48 Khz and after the Itunes update, Itunes changed his settings to 44.1 kHz (before the update it was also 48kHz). I hope i could help you. Sorry for bad english i'm from Germany

  • When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6. Can anyone help me?

    Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
    If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

  • 1080p download and playback bugs in iTunes 10.6 for Windows

    There seems to be some bugs in iTunes 10.6 for Windows related to 1080p video.  According to Apple, the minimum specs for viewing 1080p video on a PC is:
    To play 1080p HD video on a PC, you need a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor, 2GB of RAM, and an Intel GMA X4500HD, ATI Radeon HD, or NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS or better graphics processor.
    My PC exceeds these specs (Intel i5-2500K 3.3GHz CPU, 8GB of RAM, AMD Radeon 7970 video card, 30" Apple Cinema Display).  The first bug appears when I go into the preferences setting and switch the download preference fom 720p to 1080p, which triggers a warning box that says:
    This computer may not be able to play 1080p videos.  You can still download these videos for use on other devices.
    That's odd but I press "OK" and downloaded the 1080p copy of a TV episode.  When I press play, another warning box popped up:
    Video is too large.  The 1080p version of [show] is too large to play on this computer.  You can choose to play a smaller 720p version of this movie below.  This message will be dismissed in XX seconds.
    The message gives you three options: PLAY SMALLER VERSION / OK / CANCEL.  If I select OK or simply let the timer run down, the 1080p video starts playing without any problems.  Anyone else seeing this?

    Oh that clarifies things, I see what you mean.  The error message still confuses me because even your smaller Acer monitor matches the pixel resolution of the 1080p video - the video doesn't exceed the monitor's pixel ratio so it's not technically "too large" as the error message says.  The 1080p video should fill your Acer monitor edge to edge while leaving black borders on the top and bottom of your Samsung.  I think this is clearly a bug in iTunes.
    I know what you mean about the movie opening up so that a portion of the image is off the screen but that sounds like an issue related to the default position of the window when you start a video.  The default position is such that a smaller size like the SD copy probably isn't cut off but that a larger video does get chopped until you change where videos open by default.  I can change the position simply closing the video while it's playing.  iTunes remembers the place on the screen where I closed the video and opens all videos at the spot afterwards.  Does that not work for you?

  • Itunes does not pass windows logo testing to verify CD/DVDrom drives, Why?

    Hello All,

Contact your administrator" I am the owner & my account has administrator rights.

    When I start itunes i get the message "Itunes was not properly installed if you wish to burn Cds you will need to reinstall itunes" Any ideas what i should do anyone?
    That sounds like the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing aren't going in properly. (or there's damaged GEAR drivers for an old install stuck on the PC.
    Perhaps manually uninstalling and reinstalling the GEAR drivers can get you past this. There's instructions for that on the GEAR wiki:

    hi bolt!
    let's first try working through the suggestions on this document. if you've got an itunes version 5.0.x or 6.0.x, you'll need to try the QT 7 version of the waveout fix.

  • ITunes sounds is distorted

    Before the newest update my songs were playing fine, no hassle.
    After a restart to make iTunes properly download the update the sound on my tracks in now crackly.
    I thought it was my headphones so used 3 pairs and also played various tracks from my library through speakers, still the same exact effect.
    I'm sure this has something to do with the update as my drivers are all up to date as they should be.
    Anyone having similar problems?

    There is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (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 in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio.

  • ITunes sound problem?

    Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I have a problem with my iTunes for Windows. On certian songs the sound is very tinny and kind of sounds like it's playing from underwater....almost warbly-like. This wasn't happening yesterday, or ever before. I downloaded the newest version of iTunes; that didn't work. I consolidated my library; that didn't work. I really am at a loss here...could someone PLEASE tell me what I need to do to fix this? Thanks in advance!

    hi clearnoise!
    On certian songs the sound is very tinny and kind of sounds like it's playing from underwater....almost warbly-like.
    we'd better check through the usual suspects from this document. since you're at an itunes 6.0.x now, you'll need to check the QT 7 sound out settings.
