Problems with audio quality on iTunes

I've enabled the 'error correction when reading Audio CDs' option in iTunes, however this has not corrected the problem. On average, one out of every 4 songs I import to iTunes (via CD) feature 'popping' 'crackling' or even skipping. I know it is not the CDs b/c when I play the CDs through iTunes (prior to importing) they are fine. Any suggestions? Thanks!

And before this problem existed, there was never an option for "NONE" at the Billing Info menu for my iTunes account.  When I logged on after the support allegedly corrected the problem, the "NONE" feature randomly appeared!  I've even tried clicking NONE and then DONE to update it, and even that gives me the "Please contact iTunes support to complete this transaction." message.

  • Problem with audio quality using Record Audio Comment

    I am recording audio comments in Adobe Acrobat Professional using the "Record Audio Comment" tool. The sound quality is bad--very scratchy and has a noisy hum. I am using a good USB headset/microphone. Recordings outside of Acrobat are fine, e.g., in Audacity. I have tried two different microphones with both Acrobat 8 and 9 on two different computers (a desktop and a laptop) with similar results.
    I have not found an audio quality setting in Acrobat. Is there some way to improve the audio quality when recording comments? I suspect Acrobat is compressing the audio so much in order to save file size, however, the poor quality makes it almost unusable.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice. I know I can record outside of Acrobat and then add the pre-recorded audio as a comment, but that defeats the purpose.

    Sorry to hear you are having problems. 
    A few things you can try: 
    1. Turning the volume of your TV up too high during a call can cause the kinds of audio problem you describe. Try turning the TV volume down and this should stop the 'feedback' problems you are having. 
    2. If you are using external speakers, then try switching these off and using the speakers built in to the TV. The TV was originally tested for Skype using the TV's internal speakers, so if you have a soundbar or other external speakers connected, the audio performance may suffer on Skype calls.

  • Screen capture : problems with audio quality & volume

    Hi all ,
    I'm quite new with Arch (I installed it 1 week ago) but I'm a quite veteran debian user (since 10 years)...
    I'd like to produce screencast for my students , so I 've made some tests with xvidcap & recordmydesktop, they were fine
    I 've decided to add sound to these first demos and that 's here that difficulties come...
    My laptop is a Sony VAIO VPC Z1 (quad core i7 , 8Gb of RAM , 500 gb harddisk, with an hybrid graphics card i915/Nvidia M 330)
    Soundcard is well detected :
    \ └─(\ 1:\ 10:03\ :%)─\ ─\  lspci|grep -i audio                                                            ──\ (lun.,nov.29)─┘

    they are seen in the cards file:
    \ └─(\ \ 10:10\ :%)─\ ─\  cat /proc/asound/cards                                                           ──\ (lun.,nov.29)─┘

                          HDA NVidia at 0xd1000000 irq 16
    My problems are :
    - it seems that my alsamixer are lost each time (preferences for each channel)
    - I don't know what channel to use while recording because I've got :
    record
    record1
    record2
    digital
    micro
    micro boost
    ouch...
    I 've tried to make some sound  capture with a Plantronics (earphones + micro ) using my front connectors (2 jack )
    Results are very confusing:
    - with audacity , sound is quite good
    - with recordmydesktop, noise leveel is very high, I can't figure out how to filter the signal
    - with xvidcap ,the man page is not very informative for options to capture sound
    So your feedbacks are welcome...
    It's my first attempt to do multimedia with Linux (I use it for programming Java/C++ and for documents editing in LateX)
    Thanks

    It does appear to be a bit tricky to get the Mac to always recognize this key combination. Especially if Space has another function related to that window, such as Quick View over a Finder window. I could not get consistent results when using the key combo, sometimes it worked first time, many times nothing.
    But there is another way to get screen shots. There is the Apple Utility Grab in the Utilities folder (Apps/Utilities). It will help you with all the screen shots the key combos take.

  • Problem with audio quality using Vizio WebCam on V...

    I'm using an Vizio XCV100 Internet Apps TV Video Camera connected via a USB port on a Vizio model E401I-A2 to Skype with my daughter.   The audio is terrible.  The audio is broken up (comes and goes) and lags behind the video.   Sometimes there is feedback and an ongoing wind noise.   I tried the Skype Echo/audio test and I get some wind noise but nothing like what happens when actually Skyping to daughter.   We have ruled out the other end (daughter's eqmt) which happens to be a Vizio TV and Vizio Camera.  she has no problems Skyping with others or with us using our laptop.   We returned our first Vizio Camera and got another camera and have the same problem!   Very frustrating.  Someone mentioned we may need a filter, etc.   Any and all support greatly appreciated.

    Sorry to hear you are having problems.

  • Can't run itunes because it has detected a problem with audio configuration

    What does that mean and how do i fix it? I had Itunes installed on my computer for ages but I had to have it restored because the firewall was playing up and since i have tried to reinstall itunes it has been saying that there is a problem with audio configuration---any ideas?

    Some people have found the following works:
    Completely uninstall Quicktime (NOT iTunes) using ALL the method in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    Turn off antivirus/anti spyware
    Go to Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Change or Remove Programs
    Select iTunes, then click on Change, then select Repair.
    Restart computer

  • [Vox] MSI VOX TV BOX USB 2.0 problem with audio drivers compatibility

    Ok,let's go...
    I have a DELL Latitude d510 laptop with a centrino 1.73 GHz procesor and a soundcard supported by Sigmatel software Sigmatel C-Major audio.I bought MSI VOX TV BOX USB 2.0 and tried to install it on my lap top.Yes,I had problems with SP2 on my XP and the MSIVPS software from the instalation CD was crashing every time I tried to start it,but I solved those problems by downloading the latest drivers and the 3.xx version of MSIPVS.But...I still have a problem with audio.To be precise it seems that my audio drivers are incompatible with the VOX drivers.So now I have video but I don't have audio.Also I installed the tv card on my desktop machine and it worked like a charm(everything workes:audio,video,the old MSIPVS which I like better than the new one cause it supports my remote,has better way of managing scanned channels,e.t.c ,but I have USB 1.1 on my MB so the image quality is very poor).I did a lot of experimenting,for example i uninstaled my audio drivers(that Sigmatel C-Major thing),and installed the old MSIVPS and guess what...IT WORKED but there is no use from this cause I don't have audio On the other hand if I have everything installed then in the MSIVPS (the 3.xx version not the old one) under audio I get CD Player as an input audio device(what happened with microphone...?).To cut the long story short I tried a bunch of things and still no audio.Is there any other case of DELL audio software-VOX incompatibility?Any ideas,or solutions?

    thank you for answering me. y have no pci card working, only usb 2.0 and sata devices. also, the MSI geforce 9600gt PExp 2.0 gpu. the only usb 2.0 devices which work, are the flash (pen) drives, keyboard and mouse. but no way that the WLAn adapter and TVcapture, both usb 2.0 work.i've  tested them front side and rear side and is the same failure: if i use a pendrive, works ok. if i insert the wlan or the tv capture stop work as the 2.0 and a advertising window tell me to change to a 2.0 port, means the ports are working slower, at 1.1.  i still have the other PC, built on the MSI K9N4-slif mobo, tested them and both devices work at perfection.  i have 2 screenshots to show you:
    this, is the device manager (sorry, in spanish but you understand that's about the nVIDIA EHCI USB 2.0 controller. the 2nd one seems to be more sensitive (works worth) then the first one. when the tvcapture begin work, then fails, i'm trying to update this controller, does it ok but then the devicemanager-window freeze. i must stroke the "enter" key to "accept" / finish the update. then, fails again:
    the other one is from everest corporate edition:
    both drivers marked with purple colour!
    i think i should update this Win XP drivers, but how? the usbport.inf file (C:\Windows\inf) don't change anything. i don't want to switch xp to vista, i'm happy whit it.
    i'm thinking also on another possibility: could be an energy failure? some usb devices, like the big usb flash dives. 250-320gb, fail because the 5v/usb are receiving it's not enough. could be, but that means this mobo has no solution and i'll loose my money.
    thank you very much and i'll stay alert of your suggestions. by

  • Other people's experience with audio quality

    I was wondering what other people's experience has been with audio quality using P2P and/or Hub and spoke with LCCS.   We have a web based and an air based video chat client that we've been testing and so far our results are hit or miss (for both 2 way P2P and 3 way H&S).   We've been testing with hardware AEC, and without using headphones, with internal and external mics but I still get a lot of chopiness and it can be difficult to undertand each other even in a two way P2P call.
    I know mileage will vary depending on how good the network connection is, but we're also using gmail's video chat right after as a control and the difference is night and day ( I know they have better audio codecs with variable bit rates and other fancy things etc etc.).  To be fair sometimes it sounds great even across country, but most times it's tough to understand one another.
    Just wondering if everyone else was having similar problems or perhaps I'm missing something important here.  Any feedback is welcome.
    Thanks,
    -Eric

    We are also running in a live site with mostly US to US participants although we have done early trials with clients in the UK as well. We also use the platform internally to host our team standup meetings and it works relatively well as long as everyone has reasonable bandwidth available to support all of the streams and everyone if wearing a headset to avoid echo...
    We set up standard values for video and mic settings that we think work well for different connection speeds as well as expose both networking/bandwidth statistics as well as mic/video controls for making fine adjustments if an endpoint is experiencing quality issues. It all seems to work fairly well - if only we could get some sort of AEC in place then we could ditch the headphones and make it a whole lot better...
    settings that we adjust on Camera include keyframeInterval and quality
    settings that we adjust on Audio include gain, encodeQuality, framesPerPacket, silenceLevel, and echoSuppression
    additionally we expose for monitoring network connection type, lccs connection type, available stream bandwidth, current video bandwidth, video frames dropped, audio stream bandwidth and audio frames dropped. These values are from the audio and video netStreamInfo objects as well as the connectSession streamManager and userManager (to get the connection type from a user's userDescriptor).
    You should be able to adjust the various settings based on the user's connection type in order to optimize individual performance. I seem to remember that there was some sample that showed most of this, but I don't remember where that was...

  • Problems with audio programs after update to Maverics

    After updating to Mavericks on my Mac Mini there is problem with audio programs. I cant open iTunes at all, I click it and it disappear in a second. Also when I press play in GuitarPro 6 or in Vox player nothing happens. It just wont start playing. I really dont like this update.. and my mac is slower now. I cant downgrade my system back so this is really frustrating to me as a musician.

    I have the same problem with my Conceptronic CH3HNAS and have found a free and easy solution.
    Since a lot of people report they are able to access their NAS using apps other than the Finder itself, I decided to look for a free Lion-compatible File Manager to use instead of Finder.
    I have found muCommander ( http://www.mucommander.com/ ) and indeed it works fine. All I did was click on the button highlighted bellow, go to "bonjour services" and select my NAS. It prompted me for my username and password and voilá, it works fine.
    I keep Finder for everyday use and just load muCommander when I want to access the NAS. At least now I don't have to start my WinXP VM anymore just to access it.
    Hope it helps you.

  • Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

    Hi all,
    after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
    The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
    Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
    Regards
    Michael

    First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
    I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

  • Problem with Audio on HP Envy 6-1130sw (C6F62EA)

    Hello everyone.
    I have a problem with audio on my ultrabook HP Envy 6. Sometimes when I try to play music there are no low tones and music plays really silent... And then when I restart PC problem dissapears and music plays fine... I thought there is a problem with speakers, but when I connected 5.1 speakers there were also only high tones. Same thing happens on headphones. Is it a hardware problem or maybe software? Actually I use Windows 8.1 and drivers are up to date. If any one of you had same problem please post.
    Thanks. 

    Hi piotrek1130sw,
    From what you have described, I think the best approach would be to restore the original IDT driver, restart the computer, test that driver, then install the driver update, and test the outcome of installing the newest driver.
    Use the following link for instructions to recovery the ITD driver using Recovery Manager. Restoring applications and drivers.
    Once the driver is restored, restart the computer and test the audio. If the audio is good you can continue to use this driver, or you can reinstall the update and see what happens. IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver.
    If installing the newest driver causes the issue to occur but the recovered driver worked, I suggest recovering again.
    If neither driver works I will gladly follow up and provide any assistance I can.
    Please let me know the outcome.
    Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.
