Problem with streaming audio

I wasn't sure if this is a problem with Safari, iTunes, or OS X, so rather than post the question in all three of those forums I decided to post the question here.
I can't seem to get streaming audio to open and play when I click on their appropriate links in Safari. I tried several different links through a few different sites, but when I click on a "Play" or "Listen Now" link for an MP3 stream, a Safari download window opens and that's it -- no stream.
I solved the problem by copying the link, going to iTunes, and choosing "Open Stream" from the "Advanced" menu, and the stream played fine, but I would hate to have to do that every time I want to sample an audio stream.
Anyone know why it wouldn't work when I clicked on the direct link?
Thanks.

Nevermind. Noob figured out what he was doing wrong.
See Safari "Preferences", "Open 'safe' files after downloading".

  • Having problems with streaming audio

    Please Help,
    I'm Trying to add audio to my site. I've gotten it so that it works with Internet Explorer. It has to work so that there is music on the front page slide show and the galleries. It now works great on IE. However on both Firefox and Safari it works on the slide show but not the Gallery. My code is as follows...In The CSS Section (I think the problem might be here).
    <pre><code>#my_music {display: none;}
    .homepage #my_music {display: block;}</code></pre>
    or
    <pre><code>.gallery_XXXXXX #my_music {display: block;}</code></pre>
    And I have this code placed in my footer:
    <pre><code>&lt;div id ="my_music"&gt;&lt;OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer1" CLASSID="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab# Version=5,1,52,701" STANDBY="Loading Microsoft Windows® Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject" width="280" height="46"&gt;
    &lt;param name="fileName" value="http://www.homelesshh.com/pipmusic.m3u"&gt;
    &lt;param name="animationatStart" value="true"&gt;
    &lt;param name="transparentatStart" value="true"&gt;
    &lt;param name="autoStart" value="true"&gt;
    &lt;param name="showControls" value="true"&gt;
    &lt;param name="Volume" value="-300"&gt;
    &lt;embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="http://www.homelesshh.com/pipmusic.m3u" name="MediaPlayer1" width=280 height=46 autostart=1 showcontrols=1 volume=-300&gt;
    &lt;/OBJECT&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
    Please Help me with this

    That is because you have #my_music {display: none;}<br />
    Firefox doesn't play media files if that content is hidden via display:none.<br />
    If you want to hide the player then use visibility:hidden<br />
    If you want visitors to be able to stop the music (I prefer that) then use {display: block;} there as well.
    <pre><code>#my_music {visibility: hidden;} or #my_music {display: block;}
    .homepage #my_music {display: block;}
    </code></pre>

  • Problems with M-Audio Fasttrack Pro and Garageband after 10.5.2

    Hi all,
    I use GarageBand daily with my M-Audio FastTrack Pro and have had absolutely no problems until I installed the 10.5.2 update.
    Suddenly the Audio randomly cuts out when I'm recording, monitoring or playing back - also my recordings appear to skip and jump too. Usually I can rectify it by power cycling the Fasttrack but the problem re-occurs after about 30 seconds of recording.
    I have double checked the I am using M-Audio's latest drivers and have repaired permissions and the disk. I was wondering if anyone else had had any problems with this?
    All help would be appreciated, looks like I'm going back to 10.5.1 though.

    Hi !
    Still no answer from M-Audio but it seems that they are not in cause.
    I read on several topics of Apple's Forums some similar problems with other audio devices and also with some USBhubs.
    I ran some little tests and for my case, using the other USB port of the MacBook seems to resolve the problem (but that's not a permanent solution for my point of view).
    Using a selft-powered USBhub works also, even on the port that makes it crash without hub.
    As I studied a little bit of electronics, it looks really like a problem of power supply through USB to me. It could be some kind of micro-cuts (or micro-undervoltage) that are sufficient to cut the audio stream and freeze a bit the system but not enough for MacOSX to switch significantly to the internal audio.
    But two questions still remain :
    Why one USB port of the MacBook and not the other one ?
    Why since 10.5.2 ?
    Steve, if you hear me ;o)
    'Hope they will react quickly !

  • I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

    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,...

  • Error message after upgrade to iTunes 11: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."  At this point my PC running XP loses all audio.

    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.

  • Trying to get my fcp project to burn to dvd at the highest quality? Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

    Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

    I suspect you are attempting to burn an HD DVD, which will not play on a DVD player...
    But if you provide more details such as the settings you are applying in Compressor, then we would be able to provide you more accurate information.
    How are you adding the files to Compressor?
    In FCP, what are your footage properties (command-9) and sequence settings (command-0)

    Perhaps this Apple KnowledgeBase article will help:
    iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes had detected an audio configuration problem
    Good luck.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

  • Itunes cannot run because it detected a problem with your audio config.

    I keep coming up with this message. I feel like I have tried everything. Uninstalling---reinstalling---installing earlier versions---even tried apple's help page regarding this error. Nothing seems to work. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have exactly the same problem. Everytime I try to open itunes it shows the dialog "itunes has detected a problem with your audio config..." and then when it "opens"
    has no background, so it's impossible to do something. I've tried to reinstall itunes and quicktime in different ways like both of them separately and following every instruction in Apple's Web site like article #304424. I've installed prior versions for those programs too and the problem persist, tried to clean up the registry, etc. I don't want to reinstall Windows to solve this issue 'cause it seems to be only way to get rid of this! =( HELP!!!

  • 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.

    It 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.

  • Having problems with streaming!

    I have a problem with streaming material from Apple Tv applications. I.E. youtube, netflix. No probems with running items from my itunes library of music and movies within my network. I don't have problem streaming youtube or netflix through my xbox 360, so it doesn't seem like it's an internet issue.

    I would still troubleshoot the network.
    Go to speedtest.net to verify connection speed
    Check istumbler or netstumbler for interference on the network
    If using wifi try ethernet
    Make sure you are using your ISPs DNS
