Problem with iTunes while playing a game

I'm having some sound problems while loading a new area in certain games. To be specific, Guild Wars.
When I'm loading a new area, my speakers often get a horrible static-y sound. This sound won't go away for a good half hour. The strange thing is that my Guild Wars sound is still normal. The only thing that has the static sound is the music coming from iTunes. Simply closing iTunes and reopening does not help. I have to wait a while before my sound is fixed.
The only other game I play with iTunes running is Warcraft 3, and I've never had this problem while loading a map.
Any help is appreciated.

Hmm... well Guild Wars' Memory usage isn't very consistent. I've seen it jump from 150,000+K to 22,000K. Now it is 70,000K, while iTunes is 40,000K.
For the record, my computer isn't top of the line. I have an AMD Athlon 1700+, and 768 RAM. As for my Sound Card... your guess is as good as mine. Hahah sorry. I'm pretty useless.
Oh, and my CPU usage is 100% while playing. :/

  • Problems with 6600gt after played a game (company of heroes)

    i Set every graphic settings to the max to check the benchmark and to know how nice/rusty i could play the game, based on the resulting fps of the test. The test finished loading, the sound started but the graphic part never started. After that all games i play keep crashing after few minuts of game, and looks random. trackmania nations, ut2k4, dawn of war: dark crusade, cc3 demo, quake4. Quake3 crashs aswell but its a lot less than others games. Im a bit confused coz i never saw a game to damage a vga, and i dont know what to do right now. Dunno if the vga is covered by warranty yet (nov/05), and futhermore i bought it at singapore, and now im in Brazil. How should i proceed? If im not able to get a new vga, i think i could just disable whats causing the crashes/reboots. If the problem would be the AA, i could just disable it at windows, an example.
    Thanks in advance for the help, and ask me if u need more informations to help me.
    if u need the dxdiag information, let me to know. i couldnt post it here coz it exceeds the the maximum allowed length of the post.

    the driver i use shows the temperature of the gpu w/o the need of bios modifications. sadly the temperature changes very fast to check it properly while playing the games. some months ago i used a program that make some 3d graphics in window mode (a lot of pearl balls, like pool balls, flying). And temperature was fine. It was 50-55 in inactivity, and about 70-80 when working at full power. Ill use ut2k4, it works in windowed mode, and i can check the temperatures in real time.
    Cooler is working fine.
    ill check these stress tests u suggested aswell
    edit:
    I ran some of the programs:
    OCCT: cpu test ran flawless (30mins). MEM and CPU+MEM crashed after 1 or 2 minuts.
    S&M: CPU test flawless, gpu test flawless (max temp was 75°C), i saw the mem test started and about 20% finished, but i had to do somethings and left my pc doing the test. i returned now (about 30-40mins) and my pc had been rebooted.
    Memtest86 v3.2: flawless.
    OCCT and S&M could to have a log. They crash and i dont know what they was doing when crashed. Something memory related, but the more popular memmory test out there gave me 0 errors.
    And why only after that bench?
    Ill try to test olders 512mb and 256mb ddr400 chips i have here, and check the results.

    Hi everyone, I am actually trying to make a media player using
    JMF and FOBS4JMF. My problem is that I've followed all the procedures to
    install fobs4JMF and it all works fine until I try to register jar files using
    jmstudio. In fact, it works when i open runjmstudio.bat. The movie is played
    fine, jars are correctly registered ... but when I close it and I open jmstudio
    again it fails and I get the error : "Failed to realize: input media not
    supported: XVID video, mpgelayer3 audio" plus codecs, demultiplexer ... are not registered anymore. In fact, it works with fobs_jmstudio.exe (the one in the fobd4jmf folder) and not with jmstudio.exe (the one in the jmf folder). When I try to add them manually into the second one, I get the error : "Could not add Item". I wonder if you had any idea of what type of problem it could be.
    I've posted my problem in many forums but nobody seems to have the solution. Thanks a lot.

  • Problems with itunes while making a playlist?

    I'm making a playlist in itunes. At 36 songs I got a message from my computer saying itunes stopped working. It closed itunes. I reopened it. Nothing wrong. Kept adding to my new playlist. At the 50-60 song area itunes froze. Still is at this moment. Anybody have a problem like this?
    Note: The biggest playlist I've made is 76 songs.

    Doesn't ring any specific bells, but everytime you make a change in iTunes, add a track to a playlist, update metadata, play a song, etc. it rewrites the database. If you have anti-virus software that is inspecting every file access it is just possible that it is interfering with iTunes as it tries to update. Have a look inside the iTunes folder. Are the lots of temp files? If so then I would delete them all, then adjust your AV to exclude the iTunes folder from all on access scanning.

  • Problems with itunes videos playing on NVidia Graphics/SATA controllers FIX

    Hi folks just wanted to let you know there is a hotfix for all you folks that have a Vista Computer that has Nvidia Graphics cards GEFORCE series, and Nvidia SATA Drive Controllers.... Go to this website and do al the hoit fixes listed there... http://www.nvidia.com/object/windowsvistahotfixes.html
    This will update the firmware for your graphics card and some vista incompatibility issues. Not all of the hotfixes may apply to your system however try downloading all four and it will tell you if it applies to your system or not after you try to install them. After that go to your Control panel and go to device manager and go to your storage card section.. Click on the Nvidia SATA controller device click on the driver section and click on update driver... this will bring up a screen that asks you to have the computer search for the correct driver "click it". It will search the internet for you and download the NEW SATA driver you will have to restart after downloading. THEN go back into the control panel again and make sure the driver is updated to 7/2007 if not reapeat the update driver part. It will then pull the information from your hard drive and the driver will be installed. It takes like 4 seconds to do this... then restart your system and all the problems have been fixed... this works with quicktime in itunes video problems as well as the kodak camera video problems.. I hope this helps it worked great for me..... Good Luck...

    I've experienced a similar problem with my mid-2010 MBP freezing when on battery power. I've traced the problem to gfxCardStatus switching the GPU to the Intel HD when there are still dependencies for the NVIDIA 330. I stopped using the application and seems to have solved the problem.
    I agree that the problem is prevelant on Lion and didn't occur in Snow Leopard. Your advice to turn off the AGS feature in Energy Saver is a smart one, at least until engineering at Apple resolves this problem, since both gfxCardStatus and AGS are doing the same graphics card switching without reference to actual need of the running apps.

  • Have you or have you had problems with iTunes while downloading?

    I have noticed that when using iTunes using a slow DSL connection and sometimes trying to browse while downloading, iTunes does not download the complete file that is there is no Cyclic Reduntancy Check.
    For example, a 40 MB file halfway downloaded will complete and not resume if somehow the internet connection was interrupted.
    It would be great if there was a bit torrent or download manager like DownLoadThemAll (FireFox extension) would be used so you can schedule and resume a connection that was interrupted.
    If you are having a similar problem, please post here and notify Apple to fix this problem.

    I don't have a definite answer, but by any chance do you have your hard drive encrypted? (e.g. Windows BitLocker, or a third-party full-disk encryption package)
    Playing my iTunes media files on my laptop used to work perfectly. Ever since the full disk encryption software was installed, my music skips & buzzes (and sometimes just plays more slowly, which is really weird) whenever the files don't get decrypted fast enough. That's usually when other apps are also accessing files, maybe there's a disk access priority scheme that doesn't work as well when it has to funnel through the decryption driver?
    Also, although my symptoms are occurring on a rotating disc drive, I've heard that there are some compatability problems between the disk encryption packages and the SSDs.

  • Using Itunes while playing RPG or runescape

    recently I have started having some annoying interference with Itunes while playing Runescape. I always have liked to listen to Itunes while playing the online role playing game but recently I have had static that results when I move around on the game to another area that requires loading of data as is typical of any RPG. This never occurred until now. Has anyone else experienced this?

    I don't use anti virus since I have a mac, but the web browser is running since it is part of the online game, but I have always ran it that way, it seems the problem started around the time I upgraded to iLife 08

  • Problems with iTunes 10.6.1 - rendering stops while playing music

    Hi everybody, I am writing because some problems with iTunes, that appeared currently. Never had this problems before... When playing music suddenly the rendering stops for several seconds and then it continues without any action from my side. Maybe the problem only shows up when my MacBook comes to the standby mode, but nevertheless, i never had this problem before and it really restricts the possibilities of enjoying music played by iTunes. Can you help me?
    Thanks and kind regards

    I have an old macbook too.
    It seems like Apple writes new software that makes older computers not work as well.

  • Flash Player having problems while playing online games on OS X Mavericks

    i use mbp mid 2010 with os x mavericks 10.9.2 and while playing online games, it usually happens some freezes and delays. when i play same game with same browser on windows 7(bootcamp) there is no freeze and delay. i have made lots of search about this and made some optimizations on flash player settings but the problem continues. i use both chrome and firefox on both mavericks and win7 (bootcamp) but having the same problems on mavericks every time. the game is very slow with freeze and delays on mavericks. will adobe make a real effective upgrade about flash player for macs.

    Hmmm... Win 7 will run faster than Mavericks with 8Gb. Even my Vm of 7 runs faster once I get it past all the startup processes.
    It may or may not be a connectivity problen since Windows uses a different protocol, even though it's on the same hardware. Usually though, what affects OS X will affect BootCamp too.
    What browser?

  • Multiple Problems with itunes...PLEASE HELP

    i'm crossing posting this to try and get as much help as possible, so i'm sorry if you see this in a bunch of places.....
    i posted awhile back and didnt get much help and i'm still having problems with itunes
    first of all when i open itunes it attempts to do the gapless playback stuff....if i let it do it....it gets half way through and freezes....but if i stop it before it freezes, i am able to play music BUT not import any songs from cd, ipod, or downloading software....
    so, i deleted the library and imported "iTunes Music Library.xml"....then i went into my itunes folder and started dropping the songs into itunes...and i got about 3/4s of my music (about 25 gigs) and it starts to freezes when looking for album covers....if i force quit and reopen the song will be in there...just not the album work....which is fine....but if i have to force quit every time i import a song, its going to get rediculous....i have tried deleting the library and importing the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file about 6 times now, with the same results.....
    ALSO...when i connect my ipod to my computer (i have 80 gig 5G) it will freeze while syncing....
    i honestly have NO idea what to do....any suggestions would be welcomed...thanks....

    See if these articles help to narrow down the issue:
    First: How to recreate your iTunes Library
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
    - You stated you had " deleted the library and imported "iTunes Music Library.xml", so verify steps in article are what you've done, or try them again.
    Second: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
