Poor Audio Playback for High-Pitched Music
After a few experiences with high iPOD, I have realized that while listening to high-pitched music (e.g electronic music) on high volume levels there is an irritating sound coming from iPOD original headphones.
In my opinion, a superior equipment like iPOD should have accessories that has at least the same quality as the original equipment.
Unfortunately, headphones of iPOD have failed this concept substantially.
In contrast, previous iPOD versions have had headphones of superior quality.
Again unfortunately, these earphones are not compatible with new iPOD.
I think Apple management should consider the option of recalling the defective headphones and replacing them with higher quality equipment.
If it is not possible, at least new iPODs should be accompanied with better headphones.

The problem wasn't with the ipod, my dock has a bad connection when I connected it to my computer.

Audio playback is higher pitch
I've recorded some dialogue straight in to Soundtrack Pro. When the dialogue is played back, it's noticeably higher in pitch. It doesn't seem to be speeded up, though. This happens when I record test dialogue and play it right back without changing any settings.
Thanks for any ideas or advice,
BruceSounds like a sample rate mismatch.

Very choppy audio playback for iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 8.1
I just upgraded my OS to Windows 8.1 (32 bit). I then installed the newest version of iTunes for Windows, 11.1.4.62. Audio playback from my computer is now extremely choppy and I can't figure out how to fix it. Anyone?
Thanks so much!Well, after some messing around I solved the problem.
Edit>Preferences>Playback>Play Audio Using: "Windows Audio Session" allows the files to playback normally. -
This is iMovie 10 I believe. Thanks again!! Really appreciate the help!
To do this in iMovie 11. use the SHARE menu. Share your project using the Share menu and choose Export Using QuickTime.
In the Dialog box that comes up, choose Sound to AIFF, or one of the other sound options. This will create a file that you can drag into iTubes. -
Half speed audio playback for Iphone
Are there any apps or programs that will allow me to either record or playback an audio memo or video at half speed? I'm a musician and need to hear myself played back at half speed to work out some kinks.
ThanksYou can do it for audio files in iTunes. Select the file in iTunes and use "Get Info" in the "File" menu. Select the "Options" tab, set "Media Kind" to "Audiobook", then click "OK". Sync to your iPhone and play it with the iPod app. At the upper right there should be "1X" in a white box. Press it to choose "2X' or "½X".

Poor audio playback with iTunes 12.1.2.27
Just updated to this version today. Now the audio volume fades in and out during playback. Didn't have the problem before the update. Running Windows 7
Check that you have the latest version of QuickTime (7.7.6) installed
Try varying the Play Audio Using setting in Edit > Preferences > Advanced (you'll need to restart iTunes for changes to take effect). Most users experiencing playback issues who've found that this resolves the issue have reported that setting this to Direct Sound works.
If neither of these produce improvement (and assuming you're running a 64-bit edition of Windows) try installing this alternative version of iTunes:
iTunes 12.1.2 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
The "for older video cards" label is somewhat misleading; as with the previous 12.1 and 12.1.1 releases this provides a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installed, the same as all "64 bit" versions of iTunes prior to 12.1. As well as video card incompatibility this version may address issues with playback as well as integration with third party tools.
For the third option, see also turingtest2's user tip on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps that may be necessary to completely remove all components of iTunes prior to re-installing. -
Any known fix for high pitch sound y
Creative, is there any fix for that problem yet?
Many of us have that problem. Its annoying each time rebooting our PC to stop that.
Please, answer us.
ThxI can copy the mail that i got here but its in Dutch so i don't know i've you can read that. For the people that can read this i will copy the mail below here. For all the other people i suggest you call to the helpdesk and explain the problem then maybe they can help you too.
Hieronder zal ik de beschrijving geven hoe je de drivers en software van de geluidskaart grondig kunt verwijderen, en opnieuw installeren. De meeste geluidskaart problemen zijn hiermee te verhelpen.
. verwijder de geluidskaart uit de PC.
2. indien u ook een ingebouwde geluidskaart op uw computer heeft, zorg dan dat deze is uitgeschakeld in de BIOS. Voor meer informatie hierover, raad ik u aan de moederbord / PC leverancier te raadplegen.
3. In het Configuratiescherm, onder Software, verwijder alle Creative programma's.
4. Steek de installatie cd in de cd rom speler, (klik het automatisch openende schermpje weg) en ga naar Deze Computer. Hier klikt u met de rechtermuis op de cd-rom dri've, en kiest u voor Verkennen. Dubbelklik nu op de map Audio, dubbelklik dan op de map Driver, en vervolgens op het bestandje CTZAP.exe (of SETUP.exe, van de 2 bestanden is aanwezig) 5. in het menu kiest u voor uninstall WDM driver en dan sluit u de PC af.
6. Plaats de kaart opnieuw in de PC. Het is beste om een PCI slot zo ver mogelijk van de grafische kaart te gebruiken.
7. na de reboot gaat u weer de installatie cd af en installeer de cd (negeer de windows installatie boodschap, deze kunt u gewoon afsluiten.
U moet de installatie via de Creative CD uitvoeren.) -
Logic 7 audio playing high pitched noise
Hi Discussion Group.
I am having some major difficulties with LP7.0.1 (downgraded frrom 7.2.2 and was working fine with 7.2.2) and the motu 828 mkII that just crept up on his system today.
An audible high pitched noise when playing logic after initially starting 10 seconds after first play. Also after stopping playback the high pitched sound lingers.
Logic complains of sync problems between audio and MIDI.
All music is heard fine with iTunes. there is no other audio software playing at the time of logic playback.
Nothing has changed on his system to create this. before today everything was working fine. We removed everything from the firewire bus and only the MOTU is present.
playing logic fine out the built-in audio just fine.
Changing the clock mode to autosync does not help and iTunes stops working. internal works fine. Also setting the I/O buffer size to 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512 and relaunching the driver each time did not help.
no MIDI card
Here are screen shots of his MOTU control panel and Logic Audio Drivers preferences
http://www.enabled.com/~noah/MOTU/
Any clues on what else to try? I am at a loss here.
cheers,
NoahI've heard of weird things like this happening to 828's before.
There is a reset procedure, either in the manual or on the Motu website - try running that and seeing whether it fixes it. -
IPhone 4 audio playback cuts out after latest update (5.1)
My phones audio playback ( podcast, audiobook or music) cuts out at random intervals during playback.
This happens when listening through apple headPhones or my audio lead aux input to my stereo.
This has only started since the last software update (5.1). It's really frustrating as you often hit the jump back or forward arrows when restarting, instead of the intended Play symbol ( they are close together). This is really frustrating when your listing to an hour+ podcast.
Is anyone else having this problem since the update?Same problem here! My phone was functioning correctly after the update until today, when it randomly attempted it's own emergency call, then requested that I turn on location services. When I hit cancel, it repeatedly requested that I turn on the service. When I agreed to turn on location services, it defaulted to the screen with the iTunes logo and the USB cable. Since then, I have been unable to get it to function. The phone has been switching between a black screen and the apple screen and buzzing periodically. When I touched the apple, it pixellated and melted away. I did see a message that the iPhone needed to be activated once and very briefly. I managed to connect it to iTunes using an old troubleshooting guide, but when I asked iTunes to restore it to factory settings (politely, thank you), it gave me error 21 (unknown error) and said it was unable to restore.
Hopefully someone has an answer...? -
Lost sound playback for movies, podcasts, etc. How can I regain playback?
I have lost audio playback for movies, podcasts, etc on my iPad2. New user. How can I get my sound playback back? It worked initially!
discovered the solution from another discussion group.
Double clicking on the "home" button of the iPad opens a list of apps across the bottom of the screen. Moving to the left end of this display there is an audio slide bar which was set to the lowest part on my iPad. Moving this setting to a mid level restored sound to the video feeds I was having trouble with. -
The pitch for all my music got higher and faster - I must have adjusted something wrong?
The pitch for all my music in ITunes got higher and faster - I must have adjusted something wrong? I went back and tried to fix all my audio, but it is still happening.
fundamentals, Welcome to the discussion area!
Then I went to iTunes on the Mac Pro and it showed no remote speakers.
In iTunes->Preferences->Advanced, choose the "Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes" checkbox to display a speakers pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window. -
High pitch squeal related to Firewire audio device after 10.6.2 audio patch
So the recent Mac Pro audio update 1.0 (applied on 10.6.2) has reduced my CPU temperature with audio playback (Presonus Firebox Firewire audio interface) and that is great. Also haven't had any machine crashes (grey screens) recently which is also great.
The problem is that when the Firebox is plugged into the firewire port of the Mac Pro there is a constant high pitched whistle of slightly oscillating frequency. If I unplug the Firebox the whistle goes away in a few seconds.
After prolonged use in a quiet room (the kind of room you need for audio recording / mixing work!) the noise is enough to drive me crazy.
I read a post on another forum with other people having the same problem. Can anyone comment here on seeing the same thing? Is there any known work around or fix for this?
When the CPU is under heavy load (e.g. H.264 compression etc.) the noise subsides only to return when there is normal load (i.e. half a dozen apps running).
Help!
ThanksSo I was able to back out the update using "Kext Helper b7" and the original IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext and AppleHDA.kext files from a backup before applying the update. It's pretty easy - just drop the two files onto Kext Helper, hit "go" and then reboot.
My ears are no longer in constant pain and I can actually use the Mac Pro again albeit running quite hotter than before.
This is not a fix Apple. The problem looks unrelated to a specific device based on the posts in this thread. Please issue a usable fix for the Mac Pro Audio performance issue. -
High pitched noise when recording w/ M-Audio Producer USB Microphone
hello,
I have an M-Audio Producer USB Microphone. Recording with GarageBand, nothing else connected, using an the Apple AC power cord (three pronged ground).
When I record with it plugged into the USB port closest to my FireWire port there is a constant high pitched noise.
When I record with it plugged into the USB port furthest from the FireWire port there is no noise at all (as it should be).
What's wrong with my USB port closest to the FireWire?I am having major problems with iMovie (and iDVD) ever since I upgraded to OS.X.10.5.6. I had to scrap my last promo-video. I am now recreating it very gingerly saving as I go but I am now stuck again. I am getting the digital audio screeching under my video clips when I extract the audio and under insert titles and transitions. Does this describe your 'crickets'?
I have clean video and audio signal from my camcorder. Check your cam' playback to verify. After three attempts I do have clean material in iMovie but cannot proceed until I resolve this issue. I ruined my last video when I extracted the audio and ended up with a garbled rumble which I could not reverse.
I have another question elsewhere regarding burning to DVD but I now need to resolve this before I can get to test the recommendations in the reply.
I hope I have helped focus your symptoms. I also hope there is an answer out there for this issue.
BTW, Canon ZR-60 Firewire

Best way for iTunes and Apple TV to output high resolution music files?
I am currently listening to music at home using this set-up:
My iTunes library of Apple Lossless music files ( Win 7 ) is in my home office, and it is connected to an Apple TV 3 in the living room through an Ethernet cable.
The Apple TV 3 is connected to a DAC Moon 100D through an optical cable
The DAC is connected to an integrated amplifier Cambridge Audio Azur 815A which outputs the analogical sound to the speakers.
I want to have best possible sound quality, but as far as I understand I have some limitations on this set-up:
1) Apple TV outputs everything at 16 bit/48 kHz (not bit perfect and not 'CD quality' 16 bit/ 44.1 kHz). So, even if I have higher quality music files being served from iTunes, it will be down sampled to 16 bit/48 kHz.
2) ITunes does NOT support 24bit recording and all Apple Lossless music files are automatically converted back to 16-Bit by iTunes
So here are my questions:
Can I play 24bit music files using iTunes directly from the PC to the DAC?
If yes, which formats?
Any suggestions to improve my set-up output quality?
Thanks in advance.Hello Sugarrayleonard,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning Apple TV issues. You may want to consider a full restore of the device, if you haven't tried that yet:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4367
Restoring your Apple TV to factory settings
On Apple TV, choose Settings > General > Reset, and then click Restore.
Your Apple TV will restore to factory settings and will download and install the latest Apple TV software. This process may take some time. Do not disconnect your Apple TV's power cable during the restore process.
If you cannot use this process, and you have a micro-USB cable, try the steps in the next section.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Flash files with audio sound garbled or high pitched
Question
Flash files played in the the newest version of the Flash
Player sound garbled or have a high-pitched "chipmunk" sound to
them.
Answer
The latest release of the Flash Player (v9.0.115.0 released
on 12/03/07)) causes audio to sound garbled and/or high pitched
like a chipmunk. Our development team is looking into this issue
and working to find a fix.
To avoid this problem, you can roll back your Flash Player to
a previous release. If you have problems installing an older
release of the Flash Player please review this article and contact
Adobe for further support.
At this time, the problem is limited only to SWF files
produced with the MP3 audio codec. As a workaround, you can produce
your SWF files with the PCM audio codec or use the FLV format
instead of SWF.

Safe versions security restrictions when installing Flash
Player
Issue
If you previously installed a later version of Flash Player
for Internet Explorer, you may be prevented from installing an
earlier version. For example, if you installed Flash Player
9.0.47.0 and attempted to install version 9.0.45.0 the installation
would fail.
Reason
This issue is due to registry key settings applied by the
Flash Player security model. The restriction is to prevent users
from downgrading Flash Player minor versions. The minor version of
Flash Player is the third set of numbers in the version name. For
example, the minor version for Flash Player 9.0.47.0 would be 47.
If Flash Player 9.0.47.0 was installed and you attempted to install
9.0.45.0 (minor version 45), the installation would fail.
Solution
To resolve this, download the uninstaller for Flash Player
from "How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX
control" (TechNote tn_14157).
Select Start.
Select Run.
Type cmd
In the command window, type the following:
uninstall_flash_player.exe /clean
This will remove all entries in the system registry and
resolve this issue.
Note: The uninstall_flash_player.exe file must be saved to
the same directory that the command window is in, for example C:\.
Additional Information
If you are still having trouble installing Flash Player,
please see "Troubleshooting Adobe Flash Player installation for
Windows" (TechNote tn_19166).

I doubt it's Safari that's changing the settings:

Some third-party audio applications may change your computer's audio output setting. In fact, if you use the third-party application again after applying the above solution, the issue might occur again.
