My back two speakers aren't producing any sound when using iTunes 7

I've only noticed this problem since upgrading, and it doesn't happen when I'm watching movies/listening to music with other programs, and I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I have a 5.1 setup, so two in the front, two in the back, and one in the center, plus a subwoofer. The back two speakers won't output any noise though.

I had the same problem. First thing I did was open Quicktime and switch the settings from 16 bit to 24 bit. I still only had sound coming out of 2 of 5.1 speakers and it sounded all distorted(this *****). Then after reading some posts here I turned up the volume all the way and sound came out of all of my speakers and was clear. I still haven't seen a real fix for the problem and I think it is unacceptable. In summary:
16 bit setting works at all sound levels but only plays through 2 speakers no matter what your other setting are.
24 bit setting sounds like static in all 5.1 speakers unless you turn the volume up all the way in itunes and then adjust your volume using your sound card volume control.

  • My Creative Inspire 6.1 speakers aren't producing any sound!

    I have an Audigy2 Platinum Ex with Inspire 6.1 surround speakers.A few weeks ago, I stopped getting sounds from the speakers. The green light was on, and when I plugged in some headphones I could hear sound. Also, I have my system connected via a S/PDIF to a 5.1 receiver. This only allows me stereo sound (unless I play something pre encoded with Dolby 5.1/6.1 or DTS). I'd like to know WHAT IS THE MATTER!?!
    Thank you for your time.

    Okay... I plugged the head phones into the VOLUME CONTROL/CONTROL POD of the speakers. All the cables are attached. I just ripped, er I should say unplugged everything and and retried from scratch. Same problem.
    I think the Sub/LFE hub died. That could be the only possible explanation. HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING A REPLACEMENT?!? Do they even sell these anymore? I understand that they have been discontinued. What do I do? Can I send it in to you as an RMA?
    Give me alternatives... PLEASE!

    Dustin,
    On the first point, when you say you plugged in headphones and they worked, do you mean you plugged them into the soundcard directly, or in the volume control/control pod of the speakers? Try them with another source if you can, and make sure all the cables are attached properly.
    On the second point, this is normal. The connection you're using (coaxial or optical SPDIF) can only pass over a stereo PCM signal, or an encoded stream. You can read up more on this topic here.

    Kayla, check the grill that covers the microphone (bottom left next to charging port) and make certain there isn't any dirt, makeup, spilled soda clogging the grill causing it to fail. My sister had a similar issue with her earphone and while I was in the process of replacing it for the third time I decided to check the grill under a very bright light and it was totally clogged up causing her not to be able to hear her phone calls. Use a Q-Tip dipped in hot water and gently wipe the grill. Just barely moisten it, no need to go crazy with the water. Might as well clean the earphone and speaker on the bottom right too. Anyhow, that could be what your issue is and if so it's a really simple fix. If that doesn't help just replace the microphone. It'd cost maybe $5 and ten minutes of your time to do. Good luck, John

  • After ios5 update, I am not getting any sound when I play music.

    After ios5 update, I am not getting any sound when I play music (iphone  speakers or headphones).  I get sound from games, previewing songs in iTunes, etc.  Any idea why?  I've resynced and shut down my phone and that didnt help.

    Beer,
    is that when you want to play music over the air (airplay) like BT headset or something?
    because i am facing the below issue in my car.
    the phone minimizes the volume of airplay and the ringing to 0 when connecting to a device (BT headset or car kit)
    upon disconnecting, the ringing tone remains 0 and i miss all or most of my calls.

  • TS3376 The microphone on my i-pad mini does not seem to hear/pick-up any sounds when recording videos, facetime etc.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    The micro phone on my i-pad mini seems to have stopped working.  The unit has never been rough housed and is always kept in a safe environment....we can hear everything fine, but no one can hear us and it does not pick up any sounds when recording video.  Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    I Have just the same problem, if I shout very near the microphone i can just hear something, did you manage to solve the problem?

    Download and install Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/

  • HT5105 I have been trying to create a multicam clip from two camera's. They sync properly when using the sync feature but not when I use the multicam feature does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

    Probably best if you could post screen shots of the Inspecror window in extended view with a couple of the clips you using for the 2 angles.
    If you have audio from both cameras and have identified them separately, the sync is usually pretty reliable.

  • Im not getting any sound when i select a track and put it in the arrange area

    Im new to pro logic,, when i select a track and put it in the arrange area,, im not getting any sound when it plays.. I can hear it play in the list of samples, but not when its in the arrange area,,, help meeeeee

    Are you putting the file on an instrument channel rather than an audio channel? That's one possibility. The track could be muted is another.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.
