Music sounds like a CD

Today, as I was online and listening to music, but the music all of a sudden sounded like a scratched CD that doesn't play. It just happened for a little bit, but I wanted to know if it's normal. I was on Google while I was listening to music.

First check your computer's iTunes library for any content that may seem to have scratchy music. If you find any audio recordings on there that are this way, you could report this problem on your account:
* Store - View My Account
* Purchase History
* Comb through all your purchases for the bunched up titles
* Press the right arrow next to the billed purchase
* Click "Report a Problem"
* Explain the situation when you purchased the music
If it seems to be not from the computer but from the iPhone, two solutions:
* Reboot the iPhone on a complete shutdown (Hold power and turn off)
* Go onto iTunes PC when the iPhone is plugged in and disable music sync or uncheck all music.
** iPhone - Music Tab - Sync Music
or
** Checkbox "Sync checked music and songs" from the PC's iPhone screen
** Go to music on PC iTunes
** CTRL+A - Right Click - Uncheck Selection
* Resync to delete all iPhone music
* Undo what you did to readd the music

  • Music Sounds Like the Chip Munks singing

    I have an a6537c Pavilion and the music sounds like junk.  Sounds like the Chip Munks.  What can I do?

    Well... sounds like you have an audio enhancement enabled. There are a few places where they can be set. Check the following places to turn them off:
    Windows Media Player 11
    1. Play music
    2. Right-click menu bar.
    3. From the menu that opens, select View, Enhancements, and Play Speed.
    4. Adjust the Play Slider to 1.0
    Windows Sound (Realtek codec)
    1. Right click the volume icon next to the time in the taskbar.
    2. Select Sounds.
    3. Select the Playback tab.
    4. Select your default playback device denoted by a green circle with a check (probably Speakers).
    5. With the playback device selected, click the Properties button.
    6. Click the Enhancements tab.
    7. Select Disable all sound effects.
    8. Click OK.
    Hope this helps.

  • No bass-music sounds like a tin can. Cannot adjust sound

    I just got a new Ipod. My music sounds terrible. No bass-the music sounds like a tin can and I cannot adjust the sound. HELP

    I'm having this problem too. Additionally, sometimes the tinny music comes through the external speaker as well as the headphones. When the sound is 'off', the volume cannot be adjusted.
    My nano is more or less possessed, actually. The artwork for my music is absolutely bizarre - not just wrong and mixed with another album cover that I actually have, but completely random artwork.
    I can handle the strange and frequently amusing artwork - the inability to adjust my sound and inability to turn off the external speaker is killing me.
    The apple store recommended restoring the nano through itunes, which seemed to help the artwork issue, but the speaker/earbud issue just seemed to get progressively worse.
    Sorry for the lack of answers - I would love, love, love to fix this and have a properly functioning nano (my classic has been perfect for YEARS). Still, sometimes it seems to help to commiserate.

  • Nano sounds terrible, music sounds like it's in a tunnel!

    I loaded my entire I-Tunes library on my new nano, but the music sounds like it is in a tunnel. I have tried 4 different pairs of headphones and completely wiped it out and RE-loaded the library again, with the same results. I tried to change the EQ option, but nothing has helped. Any suggestions or should I go back to the Apple store to get a new one?

    had the same problem...seems alot of people are...the headphones may appear to be all the way in but they aren't. i shoved them in and they work fine now

  • Music sounds like it is under water

    Hi all,
    I recently got a new computer... IBM Thinkpad T43 and I installed iTunes 6. Now when I play music it sounds like it is under water or experiencing interference from somewhere. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing but that didn't help.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I experience the exact problem, but I cant find the topic where there was a solution posted... my ITunes Music very often sounds like under water, static interferences and all the rest of it, but the files are not damaged, they work perfectly well in WMP, WinAmp, RealPlayer...

  • After rebooting from Idle State, music sounds like vibrating not normal

    After shutting off my computer into the idle state and restarting it (so all the programs that have been open before are in the same state again), iTunes does not play music normal anymore.
    The music sounds as if it is cut into many pieces, a long tone would be cut into many very short tones and it sounds like vibrating.
    It does not help to exit iTunes (really exit it in the system tray), only reboot helps.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Music sound like tape being chewed up

    Hi, This problem started today, I've never experienced this but the music that was playing just started sounding really bad (like a really dodgy music download from Limewire,) each time I clicked on another track the sound would get worse some instruments or vocals could be heard in the distance or it would sound really mangled. Don't know what's happened but now it's happening on my iPod (Classic, 80gb) that was connected (to my mac). I restarted the mac and restarted the ipod, all was sounding good for about 15minutes then it started happening again slightly, so I disconnected the iPod and turned off iTunes. Has anyone experienced this or would know what's going on?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I am having a similar problem on Windows XP SP3.  Certain types of files are completely distorted after the upgrade, such as MPEG-1 and 2, like podcasts.  They are unintelligible.  The less compressed files, like AAC and AIFF, seem fine.  I have not found any way to fix the problem yet, figured I would speak up like you. 

  • Music sounds like chipmunks

    All our music is on a sub drive. We added a new drive for daily use. I moved the iTunes music folder to look at the old file and then imported them to my iTunes Library. Now they are visable and play but the timing is way off.
    I tried the error correcting before importing but that seems to be for new CD additions.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    You may want to check your soundcard output in QuickTime. See this post for directions on the process: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa;jsessionid=aXxb7IZbMDPmI_4E?messageID=814726&ft=y&#814726

  • Music sync to ipod using Itunes 7.3.1 sounds like skipping cd

    Hello,
    I have an older 12" PowerBook G4. Since installing the latest Quicktime (7.2) and iTunes(7.3.1) any music that I sync with my iPod sounds like a skipping cd. The music on the iPod sound like a skipping cd for a short time and then just skips to the next song. The next song of course does the same thing. The music sounds fine when played back using iTunes. The music is encoded as a MP3 using VBR. All of the music I have previously encoded (before iTunes 7.3) and put on the iPod continues to play just fine (using the same MP3 and VBR settings). I have tried resetting my iPod, but that did not help. Only having USB 1.1 ports and am not too excited by ideas that involve syncing 40GB of music back onto my iPod.
    Any ideas what has changed in the latest software version or what can be done? It would grand to carry some new music to work.

    So, the music sounds like a skipping cd and then shortly just skips onto the next song. In Itunes I selected the skipping songs (which happen to play fine in Itunes) and used "Convert Selection to MP3" under the "Advanced" menu, deleted the skipping songs from my iPod and then added the freshly converted versions of the songs back to the iPod. This worked. No skipping and the songs played all of the way though. Why do I have to convert an mp3 created by iTunes to an mp3 using "Convert Selection to MP3" in order to make things work?
    I do not think that is the problem.
    I use a laptop with limited hard drive space. After iTunes rips my cd's into mp3's I copy the mp3 files to an external hard drive, deleted the songs from iTunes and re-add them from the external hard drive using the "Add to Library" option under "Files". I did this fora couple of cd's. Then I deleted the corresponding songs off of my iPod and re-added them. The songs on the iPod again sound like a skipping cd before just skipping on to the next song.
    One more time, I used "Convert Selection to MP3" under the "Advanced" menu to convert the skipping songs. This time I just left them in the iTunes Music folder on the internal hard drive instead moving them to the external hard drive. After deleting and re-adding the songs to my iPod the songs played fine.
    I do not use an "iTunes Music folder" on my external hard drive and like to organize my mp3's to my likings.
    The question now is, why can't mp3's be moved from the "iTunes Music" folder on the internal disk to an external disk? I do not have enough room on my internal disk to carry around my music and still accomplish work.
    I had been using the method described above for years without problems.

  • My music sounds garbled - is not playing correctly

    This is my son's iPod and Im not sure what he has done to it, but the music sounds like it is being played under water. I have did the 5 R's and also wiped out all the music and reinstalled it and Im getting the same effect. It is not the ear buds either. Not sure what else I can do for it. Any suggestions???

    If you have done the 5 R's and tried multiple pairs of headphones and it still does the same thing. I would suggest setting it up for repair if it is still under the warranty, as it may be the headphone jack itself or something else hardware related.
    Set it up here
    Or give a call in to apple's tech support to have them set it up.

  • Poor X-FI Xtreme Music sound quality due to speake

    I purchased a X-FI Xtreme music the other day, poped her in, and she sounded beautiful. That is until a couple days ago, when some songs I play having static sound (games run alot better now, because I was running a SB Li've! 24 BIt, it used alot of CPU). The main reason I love this card so much is because of the lightened load on my CPU, and because games sound so much better now. Problem is some of my music sounds like it has static fuzz in it, where other songs sound perfectly normal. Im wondering if it is my sound card, my speakers (I have TomMade 2. speakers, have had em for about 8 months, so they are getting old, cost me about 80 bucks Canadian when I got them) or the song file itself (because some songs sound normal, or perhaps the instruments are just so loud I cant hear the static). I dont know if it might be my speakers because they are old. And as for wonderng if its the sound file itself, the one song I hear it big time on is a quiet song at the start, but with some instrumental, and I hear static big time. Other songs are louder, and I dont know if i can hear the static or not. Coming from my SB LIve! 24 Bit, games sound better on my X-Fi, but I have to say that songs probably sound better on my SB Li've!. I didnt really notice alot of static on my old card, but maybe I just wasnt paying attention. Is there anyway I can be sure of what the problem is?
    Another question but off topic, with my old card's software, I could change my output to 96 Hz. With the new software I can change digital output to 96, but Im not running digital speakers, I have analog (im guessing thats the SPDIF input settings under audio console) but if I go there, the SPDIF box is greyed out saying default. Perhaps the sound quality is lessened because the card thinks Im running digital?

    96khz output is in thx console on the tab speaker selection and the heading "digital output sampling frequency" if you don't have then somethings gone wrong somewhere.
    I can assure you though having 96 khz output will not make any difference to your sound its more likely that you have the other problem or static sound as you put it, that has not been fixed yet, this is what is likely to be degrading your sound not the digital output bit-rate. In fact in some cases setting it higher results in more static.
    The static you get sounds like you have the the classic pops and crackles with the creative range of sound cards this has been going on for years, try reading the link I posted in my other post there are litterly thousands in the same boat as yourself.

  • How do I adjust sound quality in itunes - sounds like the chipmonks in a tunnel

    I'm trying to listen to songs I purchased on itunes from my iPad/iPhone on my everyday PC - Compaq.  Never had a problem before!  Now all my music sounds like it's in a tunnel and Alvin of the Chipmonks is the lead singer in Alice in Chains !!  HELP I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING !!  Thank you

    You seem to be asking two separate questions here.
    1) Interfaces
    Interfaces start at around $30 and go into the thousands depoending on what you want to do, You need to define your needs first, then your budget
    Some example interfaces:
    http://www.thehangtime.com/gb/gbfaq2.html#interfaces
    2) How do I Mix and Master
    You'll need to read some books if you have no idea how to mix and/or Master.
    Mixing is making everythnig sound good together, and I have no idea how I could explain that other than to say "you change the levels of each track and add effects as desired, until you get thesound you want.
    Mastering is even harder to define, you'll really need to do some research (even online. There is PLENTY of info on the web).

  • When playing any videos(E.g youtube) at mozilla firefox there will be a buzzer sound like "zzz"or cracking the sound is not smooth which seems like lag issue.

    I have no audio problem playing videos at google chrome or while playing any games on my desktop which i mean the sound play is smooth without any extra noise,but when i uses mozilla firefox to play any videos(e.g youtube),there will be sound like "zzz" or u may call it cracking which seems to be lagging sound but it is not lagging at all.I try to use my phone to play music through my speaker and it's working fine.It only happened recently few days ago,the sound is irritating which make any music sound like crap..Please help..Oh and for your information when playing the video the cracking sound is not so much but scrolling up and down the page it became worst and louder.

    Hey guys,i have try what your say and it did not work and i've been finding for ways all over the internet and getting really really pissed off.could this http://forums.adobe.com/message/4323464#4323464 be the problem?..any ways to help me solve it?maybe it just maybe not mozilla.It's just that google chrome is better in term of the crackling sound is minimum when i scroll up and down and i got a feeling it's because google chrome is fast not lag at all that's why not much of the static crackling sound ..

  • The sound quality of my speaker suddenly got really poor when playing music or videos.  Sounds like an old AM radio or Sputnik.  Pretty sure it's hardware related but maybe not.  Thoughts on what the problem might be and if it can be repaired?

    The batterys the ipods come with are very sensetive somtimes they dont react right to the first couple of charges. Try fully charging it and then leaving it on until its completely drained a few times. If that doesnt work it might be a lemon.
