Itunes sound stops working after 20 mins on videos bought from iTunes store.

On every video i've bought from the iTunes store the sound cuts out after approx 20 mins. I'm on windows 8.0 (completely up-to-date with all drivers up-to-date too) with the latest iTunes (11.1.3.8) and Quicktime (with enhancements switched off). PC is a quad core i7 with 16GB of memory with windows running on an SSD and my iTunes content on another internal HD (not an SSD). iTunes library is approx 24000 songs and 30 videos. i'm watching on a full HD monitor with external speakers and the PC is authorised to play iTunes content.
I've worked my way through all the iTunes support items around video chopping (which was happening too - now fixed) and audio issues but nothing helps e.g. I've switched off iTunes match and home sharing, switched off any audio enhancements in iTunes and my sound card (which is a Via chipset on my motherboard), switched the bit rate to 16 bit/44.1k on windows and itunes, uninstalled and re-installed iTunes etc, etc.
I did have an Apple TV on my network but I've disconnected it in case the sound was being routed to it after a period of time. This hasn't made any difference.
Has anyone had this issue and managed to fix it?
Thanks

Myself as well, have been having this same problem, around 20 minutes into any movie I open up in my itunes library, the sound stops playing.   I have yet to find any fix for the problem, although I have a thought that it is probably something to do with the buffering.  My songs play just fine, all day long, but any movie only plays for 20 minutes and then the sound goes out.   Additionally, I had another issue that kept popping up an error message everytime I tried to open Itunes, this was finally fixed via copy paste a corruptted (spelling) .dll file.  The only "workaround" for this issue, that I have found, is to open the movie in QuickTime, even though I am not really excited about the QuickTime player.  If anyone finds a better solution, please drop a line. thank you in advance.

    Make sure Must is not selected in System Preferences > Sound
    Might be corrupted sound preferences ...
    Open the Finder.
    From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder

  • KM2M + WIN XP sound stops working after a few minutes

    as in subject i have a KM2M COMBO-L (MS 6738) MoBo with athlon xp 2000+ and 128 MB spectek PC2100.
    The problem is that the sound stops working after some minutes of use.
    It's the same problem in all the 10 PCs of my webcafe

    KM2M uses the Realtek ALC650 CODEC.  Are you using the VIA Audio driver or Realtek?  It should say under audio properties.
    I recommend the Realtek drivers.
    Of course, if you are already using the Realtek, then I recommend the VIA drivers.
    Pretty insightful, eh?    

  • Iphone sound stopped working after ios 6.0 update

    My 4s was working fine until I updated to 6.0.  After that, my sound stopped working.  If I plug in headphones it works, but as soon as I unplug it stops.  When I plug into my USB sync cable it works, but when I unplug it stops working. I updated through user settings over wifi and not through itunes sync if that makes any difference.  I know other people are experiencing similar problems.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Yes rev, I tried the dock cleaning as well, I didn't help me either. I read and tried everything others did-no luck. I'm guessing these are the facts, either it will quietly get fixed on an update or the % of phones with the problem compared to those that don't doesn't warrant attention and is better addressed through Apple by just replacing it..if it's still under warranty.

  • Iphone 4S sound issue - sound stops working after a few minutes

    The sound on my iphone 4S stops working after a couple of minutes, including both the headphones and the loudspeaker. If I unplug the headphones and replug them in, the sound starts to work again, but only for a few minutes until it conks out again. How can I fix this problem?

    Any problem when connected to another wi-fi network besides your own?
    The only additonal troubleshooting options after powering the iPhone off and on, an iPhone reset, and resetting network settings on the iPhone is restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup and/or restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup - the same when connected to any wi-fi network besides your own as well as not being able to maintain internet access when connected to your carrier's cellular network, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

    HI. I'm having the same problem. This has been happening for some time now. I can play anything with sound and then it suddenly goes and I can't use the mute/on/off or work out what's happening. Is it a fault? 

  • Flash sound stops working after I pair my Macbook Pro with a Bluetooth speaker.  What's going on?

    I have a 2012 17 inch MBP, and regularly pair it with a Jambox bluetooth speaker for music.  After pairing it, sound frequently stops working in Flash - Youtube videos and the like.  Only restarting seems to do the trick.  What's disabling the sound, and is there a way to re-enable it without the hassle of restarting?

    After removing adware, and do a safe boot of Safari and remove extensions, then reset cache history etc. You need to do a boot into Recovery Mode and run Disk Repair from there. Also boot the system in Safe Mode.
    On startup it sounds like you have a problem with the directory which would also account for long startups and checking the directory. Along with or instead of DU Repair Disk you can use Single User Mode and fsck -fy to try to fix the directory but in some cases that may not be enough.
    Backups from before you got this adware and problems helps and should always be ready and able to restore a system from known good backups or system restore image.
    4GB of RAM may have been fine originally but "Early 2011" is now 5 years and 4 OS version changes. You can upgrade the memory and while at it consider a nice SSD internal drive which will help as well. Take a look and see what prices and options there are from http://www.macsales.com for your 2011 MacBook Pro.

  • Remote Desktop sound stops working after a while.

    Has anyone a solution to this problem of the sound just dropping out of a RDP connection after a day or two?
    Win Server2008 (32 bit) running as a Terminal Server.
    WIN 7 Clients (32 bit)
    Sound is absolutely critical on the program being ran on the WIN7 clients when connecting via RDP to the Server 24/7.
    But the sound just stops working on the RDP clients after a day or two.
    If I minimize the RDP session and try the sound from the native windows session it works, but sound is not working within the RDP session.
    and it takes a restart of the RDP session to restore sound, but then aftera day or two I get a call to say the sound is no longer working- a restart of the RDP sessions restores the sound.
    I have checked the Environment sound settings in the RDP setup on the clients and have them set to play on the client, and I have checked that sound is not disabled in the Terminal Server end of things for RDP sessions.
    I would really appreciate to help with this if anyone has suggestions.

    OK after updating the Server and clients I am still having this issue :( 
    and just today after no sound problems for 6 days the sound dropped out on a couple of RDP sessions, yet the sound on the client itself worked fine when tested (minimise the RDP session).
    It took the RDP sessions to be restarted to restore the sound within the session.
    I have found similar (old) thread regarding this problem:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/958fd891-6f55-432b-8268-a326ac6b2b2e/sound-in-remote-desktop-session-stops-working
    but no one has informed about if as solution was ever found.

  • Sound stops working after trying to play a movie.

    If I open I-Tunes and play a movie there is no sound. Before attempting to play a movie, sounds work as intended. Resetting the i-phone corrects the sound issue until I try to play a movie again. The sound problem affects all sounds including navigation clicks, games and ring tones.

  • Internet stops working after 10 mins and apps do not start correctly

    Hi!
    I can use my Macbook pro for ten minutes after I turned it on. Then the followings happens:
    Safari crashes (also tried Chrome and Firefox) -> The loading bar does not complete and I cannot access any homepage.
    Some apps like iTunes, Pages,... do not start completely. -> I click on the symbol, the white point beneath it appears but nothing more happens.
    I hope that somebody can help me with it.
    s.

    How are you accessing the internet? If by Airport, then what happens if you try ethernet?
    It might be worth running the extended version of the Apple hardware test right after you lose connection to the internet. I'm wondering if you might have a problem of some sort with the airport card which is triggered by heat or something like that? If so, you might get an error code that would point to the problem.
    Also try running SMART Utility to check out the physical health of your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
    You can download the demo and run it several times for free. If your hard drive is going south, that could be a contributing factor to your other problems.
    You have the early 2010 MBP? If so, you are still under the 1 year warranty, and if there is a hardware problem, it should be covered. Be sure to report your problem to Apple and get a case number before your warranty runs out so that if you do have hardware issues, they can be fixed under warranty. If you do not already have 3 year Applecare, consider getting it while you still can.
    Good luck!

  • After update to 10.8.5 HDMI sound stops working after sleep mode

    Has anybody a solution or the same problem?

    This is not just a Mac Mini problem.  I've found comments from people with all kinds of Mac, with any kind of external sound device, who all have this same issue.
    The common factor is Mountain Lion.
    Apparently there is a new build (12F42) which is supposed to fix this.
    http://www.gadgetguide4u.com/new-os-x-1085-build-number-12f42.html
    Apple released it to their employees on the 25th Sept.
    Yet they don't even seem to have told their support people about it.  My local apple store replaced my Mac Mini just on Sunday, because they didn't know why it was behaving like that.  Needless to say, the new one has the same problem.
    Here's hoping that build is available soon ...

  • Sound stops working, 3 seconds after plugging in headphones

    I have a strange issue on my phone where the sound stops working after about 3 seconds (consistently), after plugging in headphones.
    I have the latest software update and I don't have any special sound modifying apps. No software I've installed ruined this, it has worked fine before, until about two weeks ago. I've also dust-cleaned the headphone jack.
    Without headphones, the sound works great.
    Here's an example of what happens
    1. I start a video on YouTube / play a song / start a call with someone / start a game
    2. The sound works well, nothing is strange at all
    3. I plug in my headphones
    4. The sound now works in the headphones
    5. About 3 seconds later, the sound stops working completely, in all the cases above
    6. The sound never returns, until I unplug my headphones
    I'm clueless as to what could be causing this. Does anyone have any idea?

    I've tried that, but it doesn't work
    It seems like a software/firmware issue, since the 3 seconds of working is 100% the same every time
