No sound when switching audio sources after 12.1.1.4 update. Requires iTunes restart every time.

System Details:
Windows 8.1 pro - 64 bit
i5-3320M @2.6GHz
12GB Ram
Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E430
Issue:
Before the 12.1.1.4 iTunes update I could simply turn on my bluetooth speaker or headphones and both Windows and iTunes would automatically switch to that audio source, even mid-song. I could turn the speakers on and off multiple times and the sound would almost instantaneously switch between sources without fail. Now I have to restart iTunes to hear music after turning on my bluetooth speakers or headphones. Itunes simply stops playing music, although the pause button does not revert to the play symbol, but the track progress indicator stops moving. 
Please help!
Thanks.

Make sure you have the latest version of QuickTime (7.6.6) installed - if this is missing or out of date there may be no audio output from iTunes (including, but not limited to, playback through Bluetooth devices) or playback may be of poor quality.
Also check iTunes' Play Audio Using setting in Edit > Preferences > Playback (you will have to restart iTunes for any changes to take effect).  In most cases selecting Direct Sound addresses playback issues when Windows Audio Session is active (though some users have reported the reverse),
If neither of these solves your problem try installing this alternate version: iTunes 12.1.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards).  The "for older video cards" label is a little misleading, as this also fixes some playback issues, QuickTime and Outlook interoperability errors, and problems with other third-party applications.

  • Can't switch audio tracks after updating to Yosemite

    Previously, I was able to choose different audio tracks in the QuickTime Player (for instance, director commentary or stereo vs. surround sound) in Mavericks, but now after updating to Yosemite, whenever I try to change the language/track by using the on-screen shortcut or by going to View -> Languages, it shows "English" listed twice with check marks next to each.
    There is no way to select one of the other because it seems both are checked, though, obviously, it only uses the first in the list.
    I have used QuickTime Player to switch audio tracks on all my files before updating to Yosemite, now it doesn't work for any. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Seems like a bug. Are they aware of the issue?

  • Clicking sound when streaming audio in Safari

    hello,
    has anybody ever experienced a clicking sound when streaming audio over the internet? i have no idea where to begin to fix this problem.

    Dear Amber,
    I am experiencing the same problem on my iMac G5 when I am streaming movies from ANY browser AND when I watch trailers on Front Row.
    I think the QuickTime plugin has a problem streaming audio while the movie downloads, especially when the file is large (as in the case of Front Row streaming movies, where the files are all HD).
    If other applications are open concurrently, the problem is even more noticeable, because QuickTime 7 consumes a lot of resources and if you do not have enough RAM (and 512 MB does not seem to be enough with OS X 10.4.4) it will strive to perform.
    You may check how much memory is used by your computer by opening the Acivity Monitor utility.
    I hope Apple will become aware of the problem and suggest a workaround, because otherwise QT 7 is exceptional.
    Ciao,
    Alessandro

  • Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
    If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.

    Sorry, but there is nothing you can do other than buy a newer iPod. A 1st-generation iPod touch cannot run any version of iOS later than 3.1.3 and hence cannot run any app that requires a newer version.

    Hey there Sharon47.
    Couple of things that I see when I read this.
    1 - If you have tried to reset your password (and it says that mail has been sent) my guess is that your spam or junk folder may have it on Gmail? That's assuming your old email account (earthlink) is still forwarding to your new (Gmail) account.
    2 - Make sure your Firefox versions are up to date on the devices.

  • No sound when Recording audio or video

    I can get sound from my card just fine when using the FM tuner or the TV tuner, but when I try and record tv/fm like the product is supposed to do, I find that i have no audio upon playback. this is quite odd. I know that the problem is not with my speakers.  :wall:I've checked and rechecked to make sure that none of my audio sources are muted and that everything is hooked up and configured as it should be. This problem is really annoying. I even downloaded the latest drivers for the card and my sound card, but that didn't help at all. I think that this is caused simply by bad software. If the software had any quality at all, then any problems could have been fixed easily. I'm not saying I'm really good with computers(i am), but MSI's products shouldn't be this crappy to begin with.

    you might have set the playback audio pin to 'line in' and
    not set the recording pin in the same manner. Thats why the audio is fine when playing
    and doesn't get recorded.
    thanks, but I don't think that the solution to my problem is that simple. I'm now having problems with my soundcard. i can't get sound to play from it's 2nd audio out port. this is getting really annoying

  • Switching audio sources without stopping FMLE

    We use several Osprey cards, and wish to change from one audio/video source to another audio/video source without stopping FMLE.
    We can do the video switching from one Osprey input to the other using wirecast or vidblaster software video mixers, but are at a loss how to switch the sudio from one osprey input to another without stopping FME and selecting the other audio inpout from the drop-down list. We do not know of any audio mixer that FMLE recognises with which we can accomplish changing one audio source to another withour stopping FMLE.
    Any information in this regard much appreciated,
    Thank you

    to my knowledge, there is no software mixer with 0 lag because its software.  Hardware allows for no lag because theres nothing reading the info, encoding etc.  Software reads the audio data, usually it chunks, this is why it creates lag.  i did some testing using a usb mic and listening for the amount of time between me making the sound and it actually coming out.  Its just barely noticeable to annoy the person talking if he or she were to be listening to it through headphones or speakers, but i would estimate about 1/8 of a second.  Though if you want to be able to remotely control a mixer and you have someone working with you with a little technical experience, you could have them rig up a remote control system using remote control airplane actuators to turn the knobs.
    also while looking mackie control mixers say they have motorized faders, and since its program controlled, i believe you can actually control the faders using a program, but his would mean getting a new mixer.  if you want to look these up, http://www.mackie.com/products/mcupro/
