Check if you followed all steps in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa
As "FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver" states you seem to be missing the driver for your card.
Also check if the decoder is installed (I assume it would be libmusepack but don't use that myself...so not sure) because of "libmusepack_decoder: file not found"
Good luck

I am experiencing a similar problem in Windows 7 64bit. Since my laptop has a 128gb SSD, I have loaded my iTunes library on to an external drive. I can sync my iPhones and iPads from this library, and the songs play fine from those devices. However, when I select a song from my library, and click the play button, nothing happens. iTunes does nothing. I have also tried right-clicking mp3s in my library and selecting "Play", with no results. I do not receive an error message of any kind.
I have also noticed that some of my mp3's within iTunes denote the Time as 00:00. The same mp3's will play and register properly using other mp3 players on my computer, and they also play normally on my iPhones and iPads.
I am running Windows 7 x64 on a Lenovo T530, in iTunes 11.1.3. Everything else in iTunes appears to function normally. I can listen to internet radio stations without an issue, through iTunes, and they play as they should. I have tried three different external drives, with different drive formats, and they all have the same issue. If I copy my iTunes library back to my internal drive, iTunes will play my mp3s.
I did not have this issue with iTunes 10, so I am assuming it is something that has occured within the last few updates.
Has anyone found a fix for this? Unfortunately, I am forced to use iTunes 11 because of my iOS devices, otherwise I would revert to iTunes 10.

ITunes 8.1 will now not burn/import or play anything at all.

Ok since installing the new 8.1 upgrade of iTunes I am now unable to anything at all. First of all a window popped up tp inform me that the drivers could not be found so I couldn't burn so please re-install iTunes. So I did and now not only will it not burn anything, it will not import ( it won't recognise any cd that i put into my drive at all ),it won't recognise my ipod and it won't play anything that is in my music library at all. So is there going to be a repair to this from apple at any point? I now have now way of getting anything onto my ipod at all. I have tried to re-install itunes several times since and still get nothing. It just does not do anything at all!!! Come on apple, this is serious, can someone please sort it?

try removing the iTunes, then do a fresh install and this time check the box for installing both Bonjour for Windows and Quick Time.

Please help: My iPOD just runs through the playlist. Doesn't play anything.

My iPOD just runs through the playlist. Doesn't play anything. The songs do exist physically on the device.
I tried updating the iPOD but still the problem was not solved.
Is there any way by which I can play the songs without downloading them again on iPOD?
Windows XP Pro

I just had the same exact problem. It's like the Nano was forwarding thru the songs by itself..nothing would play!
So I went and looked at the manual, which suggested I try resetting it first. I did, and it worked! Here's what I did:
The manual instructed me to turn the "hold" switch on & off. Then it said to hold down the Menu and center button at the same time, until the Apple logo appeared. Then in a few moments the main screen came back on...and I was able to play songs again.
Hope this works for you, good luck!

Apple tv won't play anything

I bougth an Apple TV 1 week ago. It has been working without problems, but yesterday it suddenly wouldn't play anything. Whenever I try to play youtube, movies from iTunes Store or music from my computer it won't work. It tells me to try again later. Any suggestions?

Problem solved. I restarted by disconnecting the Apple TV and switched the HDMI - cable to another port. Everything works fine now. Strange...

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.

PLEASE HELP! My Ipod touch will not play anything from or in itunes.

I don't know what to do. For the first 4 months everything was great then all of a sudden my Ipod would no longer play anything from or in itunes. I can not transfer anything from itunes to it either. It looks like it has been transferred on the ipod and in itunes under my device but it will not play anything. I can download directly into the ipod and its fine. I listen to audio books from library sites as well as buy them but now it does not work unless it can go directly in the ipod which library sites need to come from your computer and them be transferred after its downloaded. Can anyone help me? I even have a brand new ipod thinking it was the other one but its not. I have windows 7 64 bit. Also I have uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing changes. Thank you.

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next restore from backup
- Last, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Ipod no longer plays anything, it just sits there on 0:00 and looks at me

My ipod now does not play anything, songs podcasts anything. In each case I can select the song and it will sit at 0:00. I can change tracks, press pause but it won't play.
I have have reset, upgraded itunes to 7.4.1, rebooted the pc, upgrade the firmware 1.2.1, restored, cried, everything.
It's broken isn't it?

Is everyone having this issue able to play music from your iPod through iTunes? I have discovered that while connected and playing music through iTunes and holding the iPod up to my ear I can hear the HD spinning and working as it should.
When I disconnect the iPod and attempt to play a song I hear the same sound for about 3 seconds and then it quits. The counter does not move and the song does not play.
Can anyone having the same issue attempt what I mentioned above and post their results.

Whenever I connect my 4th generation iPod thouch, all of the playlists on my iPod get deleted. This is very frustrating. Someone please help me? I searched the settings on iTunes and couldn't find anything.

Also, when I go on to safari, another alert pops up that safari cannot verify the identity of the website, anything that I type in to as common as google.com. It gives me 3 options to either cancel, look at details, and continue. I've looked at the details of the website of Google and it is legitimate the site. Any help?

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11. Big Mistake. Now I can't play anything. I'm on a Windows PC. Any help or suggestions?

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11. Big Mistake. Now I can't play anything from iTunes. When I click on it, it appears to be playing, but no sound at all.
Also, I keep getting asked to "authorize" this computer (which I've been using for more than 2 years). When the dialog box comes up, it includes an e-mail address what I used over 6 years ago. When I attempt to change the e-mail address, it tells me I'm already authorized.
PLEASE HELP! Or, just tell me how to get iTunes 10 back - that works well!

A computer requires authorisation to play content. If you have bought content using 2 Apple IDs over the years you need to authorise the machine for both Apple ID accounts.

Itunes wont play anything, windows 7

itunes wont play anything.i hit play and it goes to pause but does not count down.im guessing it is because of the update that i did to itunes.please help.

I am having the same problem and that didn't fix it.
I purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded the install file. When I double click the icon nothing happens.
I Downloaded the install cleanup utility and ran that (nothing with itunes in it).
I Downgraded the UAC to the lowest security setting.
I re-downloaded the install file and tried again.
I deleted all the temp files in the user file folder.
I made the install file compatible with Windows Vista (SP 2).
Still nothing. I double click (or right click and run as administrator) and nothing happens.

Premiere hesitates to play anything on my timeline, and when it finally does it's all choppy. How do I fix this?

I am used to using older versions of premiere, and I've never run into this problem. I worked on my video just yesterday and everything was working fine, and today it waits for like a minute or two before playing anything on my timeline. When it does play, the video is choppy, and the controls are unresponsive. I have checked to see if it's a renderer problem but i can only use the mercury playback software, and it has no problem playing any of the media when i view it in the source monitor. I've tried closing the program and opening it again, and I've tried turning my computer off and then back on as well and it still gives me the same problems. I have even go so far as to try one of the back up saved files and it still has the same issue. Can anyone help?

Hy ... Check your Videocodec for the Preview and Programmonitor... Sometimes it gets hard with h264 so i'm using ProRes 422 ... u find it in the settings of your sequenze, if not u should check how much cache you let premiere use!
