Problem with iTunes: iTunes has detected a problem with your audio...
"iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not work properly."
Ever since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes I recieve this message every time I open iTunes and I can't play anything. I tried reinstalling but the same problem occurs. Any solutions? Thanks
I have also received the same message. I tried removing itunes and quicktime. I even went as far as searching "my computer" for files and folders with these names to delete everything. No luck. Someone suggested downloading quicktime as a stand alone download. This I did, but then when I wanted to download itunes it came bundled with quicktime and overwrote the files. Is it even possible to download itunes without downloading quicktime along with it? Is an older version of itunes better? I had no problems prior to this version. Does my system need to be upgraded to be compatible? I'd rather just have the old version back. It worked! Is there a way to obtain an older version?

I have iTunes 10.7 on Windows 7 and I need this so I can update my library before the iPhone 5 arrives! Any ideas???
Much Thanks!
-AlanI had this same problem and my sixteen year old figured it out. Since the Windows PC running iTunes (which supports a housefull of AppleTVs) was running in a closet, he suspected it was due to having no speakers attached.
Sure enough, when I went into control panel to look at my sound settings, I noticed something I had missed previously. There was a red mark on the device. I took his advice and plugged in some earphones to the speaker jack and, wallah, the red mark turned green and the iTunes warning never popped up again. -
Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.
I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,... -
Several attempts to upgrade to iTunes 11 have failed. After an upgrade to 11 the error message reads: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." At this point--after the upgrade to iTunes 11--my PC running Windows XP loses audio playback for all functions--in iTunes, in the browser and the volume icon disappears from the System Tray. Only by removing iTunes 11, and then using System Restore to turn back the OS settings can I return the PC to normal functioning.
I did that. I reinstalled iTunes 10.5. Everything seemed fine, but when I try to plug in and copy a CD to my iPhone 4S an error message reads roughly: 'iPhone 4S requires iTunes 10.5 or higher to work.'
What might be the problem with my audio configuration?
Why doesn't my iPhone 4S work with iTunes 10.5? It used to work with iTunes 10.5.
Please advise.

Hello Wade,
This is typically indicative of an issue with the installation of QuickTime on your computer. The following article provides steps for reinstalling QuickTime to resolve the issue.
"iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
Resolution
QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP and Windows 2000: Open the Add or Remove Programs control panel and selectQuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.
During the download:
If you choose to run the installer, proceed to the next step.
If you choose to save the download, double click the QuickTimeInstaller file, then proceed to next step.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install QuickTime.
Reopen iTunes.

ITunes Cannot Run It Has Detected a Problem With Your Audio Configuration
Well... I've just come back from christmas with my new green iPod nano (second gen), and I try to use iTunes. It has an "...unknown error (-200)." So I download the new iTunes. NOW it says "iTunes Cannot Because Run It Has Detected a Problem With Your Audio Configuration." I've tryed the support but it doesn't have any WORKING solution. If SOMEONE could PLEASE tell me whats going on, I'd be REALLY greatful.
I've been trying to figure this out for almost 3 days now and I'm hanging by a string here.
HP Pavillion Windows XP Windows Media EditionIt is your QuickTime application, actually. What you want to do is go into your Control Panel, and then Add/Remove Programs. Find QuickTime, click on it, and click on Remove, and then follow through the prompts to uninstall QuickTime.
Then, go here to reinstall it:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Make sure you choose the second option that says QuickTime for Windows (NOT the QuickTime with iTunes).
Go through the download and install, and whenever it completes, try to launch iTunes.

Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts tab, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish. everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.
The only other thing I can suggest is to use the Repair option for iTunes.
Download the iTunes programme (do not uninstall your current iTunes) and then "install" the new copy. At some stage you should see an option to "install" or "Repair". Take the Repair option.
Once you've done that, if you still have a problem, I don't know what else to suggest, except to search through the discussions to see if anyone else has had the problem and managed to fix it. -

Hey
I installed iTunes 7.3.1 last night, and when I click to open it, a message comes up saying 'iTunes 7.3.1 cannot run as it has detected a problem with your audio configeration'
Please help
ThanksHi,
I got this message on the older version (7.3) of iTunes and then I got an error to do with runtime as highlighted in another thread.
I used windows add/remove to uninstall iTunes and reinstalled the latest version.
You could try re-installing the latest version.

When I go to open Itunes, I get a message saying "Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not work properly. I've tried closing and re-opening Itunes but it still comes up. I've also tried removing quicktime, repairing Itunes and restarting my computer after that. It still says the same thing. I've also tried reinstalling Itunes as well.

Error message -ITunes has detected a problem with your audio config...HELP
error message - itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. audio/video playback may not operate properly...
ive gone through the itunes support steps such as reinstalling quicktime and itunes and nothing seems to work... itunes still open...but then nothing plays...please help meI've cobbled together a few ideas courtesy of some posts made by the inimitable b noir concerning this particular problem .
First ...
... let's try swapping out your QuickTime, taking a few additional explicit precautions this time.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?
Next ...
If you're still getting the message with a fresh quicktime in place, let's check to see if something is awry with your sound card.
Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. Click the "Audio" tab. Is the correct default device showing up in the "Sound Playback" area? -
ITunes Opens, But Won't Play/iTunes Has Detected A Problem With Audio
iTunes 7.4.3 and XP Pro on Dell laptop. The application opens, but no song plays. It appears at the top, but stays at zero. It keeps saying, " iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration." When in control panel, it says there is no audio device. Already checked it as default player. Tried repairing and nothing. Is it a driver? The last time I installed itunes on a pc, about 6 months ago, it worked fine. Maybe try an older version? Any help is appreciated.
See if this helps:

Hi Everyone - recently this message popped up on my PC, when I was trying to import cd's into the iTunes library and then onto my iPod - "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly." Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it ?? I am not fantastically PC savvy, so any information explained fully and all steps to follow to get my music playing again would be great !! Thanks, SC
Hi B, thanks so much for helping me troubleshoot !!
Ok, so when I went in to check the Audio tab of the Sounds and Audio Device Properties, I found the following:-
* Sound Playback Default Device = No Playback Devices.
* Sound Recording Default Device = No Playback Devices.
* MIDI Music Playback Default Device = No MIDI Playback Devices.
All text in this drop-down box were light grey, and therefore unable to be selected or altered.
I also tried playing a cd through Windows Media player, to see if I could get sound a different way. When I put the cd in and clicked on Play, the following message appeared, "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your PC, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functoning properly."
Any ideas ? I had sound previously, but then a work colleague re-built the PC to add more space to the hard drive, and since then, no sound. I know this may now not just be an iTunes issue, but I would appreciate any assistance you can offer.
Thanks again,

ITunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration, audio/video
When i open iTunes i recieve a message saying "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration, audion/video playback may no operate properly." iTunes opens fine after i click ok on the message. However when i push play to hear a song nothing happens, the time for the song remains at zero's.
This error can be caused by a bad installation of QuickTime. Remove iTunes and QuickTime, and reinstall iTunes (which will reinstall QuickTime). You can find the steps to remove and reinstall near the bottom of this article in the Apple knowledege base.

ITunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration...?!!?!?!?!?!
i get thins message when i open itunes...
"iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback man not operate properly."
HOW DO I FIX IT??Sounds like several people still have this problem... including me.
I upgraded to a new PC (still running XP , installed iTunes 8.0.2.20, reloaded my library...
And I got the "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration" error.
I've deinstalled and reinstalled Quicktime to no avail.
iTunes seems to launch okay after the error.
But when I select a song and click "play", the song and time-counter show up correctly, but the song does not play... the "play head" stays stuck at 0:00.
I've imported new CDs, and the problem is the same with them.
This sounds like an unsolved problem... where do we go from here?
