Qucktime and iTunes Can't Play 5.1 Surround Sound

So I undarstand qicktime is used to adjust iTunes audio and in the control panel of the qicktime there is an option for 5.1 sound. However when I click this option (5.1 sound) I still get stereo sound out of my two front speakers while other speakers remain quiet.
Does anyone know the way to fix this?
Oh and my WMP plays my music in full 5.1 surround sound so it's qicktime that's not working properly.

well a lot of stuff on HBO is 5.1   like true blood was, so if you have hbo on demand look for some true blood episodes, they should show (when you click on info) the DD logo.   I can't think of much more other than the movie stations off the top of my head.   I'll check tomorrow for some, and then you can try it, and if it doesn't work you can look at some of your settings on your revceiver.  Randy was right - fios doesn't alter the sound that comes from the stations, so if it is delivered in 5.1 then you should get it.

Thanks for the reply. I can't find any programming that states DD in the guide. Does my setup look correct? Do you know of any programs that come in on 5.1? Randy from FIOS stated that Verizon doesn't change the audio format from the broadcasters so supposedly if they send out 5.1 then Verizon delivers 5.1 but I can't find anything in 5.1. All of my channels state Dolby Digital 2.0 or PCM 48 KHz on my receiver.

  • I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version.  Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them.  They are still listed though.

    I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version.  Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them.  They are still listed in the iTunes library.  When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
    P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out.  However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow.  When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list.  I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs.  Then I did a sync and it happened again!
    I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud.  Any thougnts?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • Itunes can't play the file because the original file can not be found

    There is many things wrong with that message and I don't know why.
    I had around 30 songs off an album on my computer
    I put the album on Itunes
    I edited them and then they played fine
    I put them on my ipod and then deleted them off coz i wanted to put something else on
    but i found out I had more space to put the other 30 songs I had from before back on so I went to the album
    when I wanted to play a song it said "Itunes Can't play the file because the original file can not be found"
    1) The original file was on my computer, in the exact place where I left it last time when Itunes played it
    2) I did not change the file path name
    3) I did not change the folder path name
    4) The songs aren't corrupted
    5) They play fine on other programs
    I deleted them all off and took them on again and they played fine but whey did they keep stuffing up before?

    The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

  • Why is Lion so slow?  Everything takes 2-3X as long as before and iTunes won't play most of my movies.

    Got Lion.  Now, opening a movie with Quicktime takes 10 seconds, opening ANY application takes twice as long as before, and iTunes won't play most of my movies that used to play in previous versions of iTunes.  I'm frustrated.  Even the web is markedly slower with pages taking 5-6 seconds to load up (and they are simple pages sans videos).
    What gives?  Any solutions?  Anyone having similar issues?
    The ONLY thing that took less time was Disk Utility...it ran in 4 minutes when it used to take 7--8 minutes.

    Lion is much more demanding on memory.  It is almost unusable on my computers that have 2 gig of memory. On the macbook air I am typing this from, it is using 1.5 Gig of memory out of 2 gig. Anything like playing a movie is going to be quite compromised.  SL used about 400 MB for normal low-demand operations.  The memory is soldered on in this laptop, so I am screwed, but it is fairly cheap and easy to add memory to most others.  OWC is a good place to look.  Max it out.  I think your iMac can take 6 GB.

  • I need to know why songs in my library show and ICLOUD status of "waiting" and I can never play them.

    I need to know why songs in my library show and ICLOUD status of "waiting" and I can never play them.

    The same thing happened to me. 
    1. You will need to know the location of your iTunes library for later, the default is under music under your username.  If its not there find it and remember where it is for later. 
    2. Then you have to exit iTunes and create a new empty library. To do this hold the option key when you open iTunes.  Choose create Library on the pop up dialogue. Create the library anywhere on your system, you can delete the entire library once you have completed your iCloud changes.
    3. When the library opens in iTunes it will be empty. Click on iTunes Match and click the start button.  after it finishes all of the songs on your iCloud match account will be listed under music. 
    4. you can select up to 1000 at a time and delete them. 
    5. when you have deleted everything close iTunes and open again holding the option key and navigate to your original library, usually in the music folder under your username.  You should be all set and can click iTunes match again and your account will be populated with the ones in your current library.
    6. You can navigate to the temp library you created in finder and delete it as it is no longer needed.
    Good luck, I hope this helps.

  • I'm also having a music issue.  When my phone is attached to the computer (mac running 10.6.8) it looks like my music is there but its gray and I can't play anything.  I've tried to delete it and it won't let me but it does not show up on my phone.

    By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings.  That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere.  It didn't work.

    songs wiped from ipod and itunes, can i get them back?

    If they were imported from CDs, and you had no other backup of them on your system or another drive, you'll need to reimport them from CDs again.
    For music purchased from the iTunes, you can redownload each track at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for more details.

  • Since upgrade ios  and iTunes can't access homeshare on ipad

    Since upgrade ios and iTunes can't access homeshare on ipad. I see 'share', when using music app on iPad. I click on it and then select my MacBook Pro. Circle starts goes half way the stops. My Apple TV works great. So iTunes on MacBook must be set up right.  Videos app is similar, the circle just spins and spins. My wifi is an apple airport. I beginning to think I have invested badly. I have signed out and in  again of home share on iPad and MacBook  as advised. I have read and re-read. Is there a solution?

    Hello Gary,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Home Sharing.  It sounds like you are not able to access iTunes from your iPad using Home Sharing.  I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
    I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:
