Scratching sound while playing songs in iTunes

I've recently had scratching sounds in my iTunes songs. It sounds as if a cd is playing and there's a scratch on the cd. I've researched different ways of fixing this problem, but so far nothing's been helpful. I've tried resetting my equalizer settings and just using the miniplayer (which are suggestions for this problem) but nothing's working. I've also updated to the newest version of iTunes and have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. How do I stop the scratching sounds?

didnt notice this was a windows thread my bad

  • Audio cuts out at random while playing songs in itunes

    While playing songs in itunes audio will frequently drop out completely across the entire system. The song will still be in play mode but the track progress indicator doesn't move. There's no slowdown or spinning beachballs, activity monitor doesn't indicate any processes hogging resources, and there are no other noticeable effects other than zero audio output. The problem resolves temporarily if I pause itunes then click the volume up/down keys and click play again. Any clue as to how I might resolve this annoying issue?

    Hi. What OS X release? (10.x.?) iTunes? On this G4 1,25 single now connected I got 10.4.11 and iTunes 7.0.2 Works fine.

    Somehow iTunes are computer-resources demanding to play an audio file.

  • No sound while playing video in iTunes in Windows 8. Help?

    I'm running Windows 8.1 and every time I go to watch video in iTunes, it'll have sound for a little bit (30 seconds, tops) and then it'll skip a little and the audio's gone. I'd like to get this fixed before my fiance gets back from his trip so we can watch the new Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special when he gets back. I'm currently running iTunes 11.1.3.8. Any work arounds or setting changes would be awesome.

    It may be that your machine can't handle the bit rate and such that iTunes is set at. You may also need to check your sound cards settings. See if this page helps. iTunes and QuickTime audio problems
    Although the graphics on the site are for Windows XP it still may be helpful. 
    If that does not help, I will be back later today (~4:30).
    Hope this helps!

  • Sound stops while playing music with iTunes Match

    While playing music from iTunes Match, the sound stops.  The music continues to play but there is no sound.  If I double click the song, the sound will start again.  But after that song is finished and it advances to the next song.  The sound will stop again and I have to double click the song again.  Other sounds on my MB-Air will still work.  Anyone else having this issue? Thanks

    It happens to me too. I listen the most on my iPhone. Song is playing, but no sound. Sometimes I have to close the app and relaunch to recover. Very annoying.

    Sorry, but if you see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your phone, the only option is to restore, backing up the phone is not possible at this point, even importing the photos might not work anymore.

  • HEY ! I AM GETTING JUST A MUSIC NOTE MARK WHILE PLAYING TRAILERS IN ITUNES STORES

    HEY ! I AM GETTING JUST A MUSIC NOTE MARK WHILE PLAYING TRAILERS IN ITUNES STORES.PLEASE HELP!

    Shadow--hey thanks for the reply. No all the songs are in C drive on my computer. I do have an external drive as backup (Sync-Toy) but all my songs are on C. I was thinking of trying to delete ITUNES and Quiktime and reinstall. Do you think that would work? Jeff

  • Playing songs on iTunes

    After a while of playing songs on iTunes, my screen switches to the fireworks screen saver and it gets locked and I cannot switch it or do anything, unless I power down my computer.  The music continues to play and I can skip and pause songs but that's about it.

  • Suddenly,all my audio is not working.  I can play songs from itunes but app audio is gone. What can I do/

    I'm not sure what is happening.  Suddenly all the audio is missing! I dont have ringtone when I get a call, or for an alarm.  I can only play songes from itunes.  All the sounds from apps and games are gone too.  I have tried a restart, and i guess the next step is a reset.  What else can I do?

    Is the silent switch on the side of the iphone on?

    you mean like an Equalizer? I don't think so, never heard or seen this. You can try searching for that on the web though, see what you can find.

  • Computer freezes when importing CDs or playing songs through iTunes

    Hi! I have been searching for a solution to this problem, but have not had any luck. Whenever I try to import a CD to iTunes, my computer freezes. Just recently, my computer started freezing when I play songs through iTunes. I have noticed that some people have similar, if not the same, problem and any suggestions of things that may help are greatly appreciated!

    I also have had this same issue. In reading your reply, I've also saved my CD diagnostics....they are included below. I'm fairly convinced that my problem lies in the drive. It is causing WM Player to lockup as well. Please help....thanks.

  • Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

    Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.  This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes.  If I just hit play, this doesnt happen.  As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order.  Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it.  When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example).  But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason.  Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening.  Any thoughts?

    The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
    The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
    trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
    Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
    There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
    at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
    and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

  • Wont play songs on ITunes

    I cant play songs on Itunes because it says File cant be found and a lot of the songs like this have a ! next to them. Can anyone help?

    I'm not quite sure why you think you need to listen to a song in order to change the wrong info.
    You should just be able to right click on any song and select "get info" then click on "info" and then change the tag information.
    What happens when you try to play the song in iTunes?

  • Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again while  playing music in iTunes.  It was fixed but with the last update it has started skipping again.

    Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again whil playing music in itunes.  It was working fine wit the prior fix, but after the last update
    it started skipping again. 

    Try it in another vehicle see if it still happens, at least you can narrow it down to your  phone or the car. My 4s play totally fine, I have never had any of those issues. Maybe its time to restore your phone and start over. I would also have someone else play their Iphone in your car, see if it happens to them. Or try yours in someone elses car. Good Luck!
