Sound defect on iTunes

Hi, I'm new here so I hope this is the right forum to ask this.
I have a song entitled "Eyes on Me" from the piano collections album of Final Fantasy VIII. I encoded to both .m4a AAC and .mp3 LAME. But I have some problems with the sound in both iTunes and iPod. Somehow, in various part of the song especially at 2:10 until 2:25 I can hear some crackling noise in the background. It sounds like it can't handle the high frequency part of the song. Not to mention the existence of white noise at the start.
I thought this was quality problem or equalizer. I changed the EQ to DEFAULT then back to LOUDNESS, then to PIANO. The noise still exists. I encoded to 256kbps HE-AACplus, then to 320kbps .mp3... All with the same result.
Then I thought it was encoding problem or my earphones. So I tested using other players such as the default Windows Media Player and Winamp on the same file I encoded. The sound was perfect, there's no noise at all. I used the same computer for both tests, the same volume level and the same earphones. It only happen to iTunes, and sadly in iPod as well.
I wish someone could help me with this, how can I solve this problem coz I want to listen to it in iPod?
Thanks

Never mind. I solved it on my own.
I just need to encode it to MP4/LC-AAC.

    Can Windows XP use a different sound card for itunes - I want to use a sound card for itunes and another for all ther apps

    To the best of my knowledge, Windows is not capable of setting a specific sound card based on the app being used, it's all or nothing.
    Try a google search or search the Microsoft site.

  • Why such sorry sound quality on iTunes? On some of my purchases the sound level is suppressed on the audio. On others the volume is so low that if I have it set for another song and a new one starts I have to increase the volume to hear it.

    There is so much distortion on some of the music I have to play it with QuickTime to get a "clean" track.
    What can be done to get a consistent volume level or is this another typical Apple product that you have to take what you get and be happy because it's not a Microsoft product?

    If that's the best you can do why don't you get on another forum?

  • Poor Sound Quality with iTunes 8

    I just installed iTunes 8, and all of the songs in my Library play with poor sound quality regardless of the view I have open. The sound is really muffled, but the voices and higher frequencies sound tinny and shaky. I tried playing with the Equalizer and Sound Enhancer settings, but was not able to fix the problem.
    What can I do to get the iTunes 7 sound back?

    I, too, am experiencing a significant decline in the sound quality of recordings in my collection. The recordings sound very muffled on the low, bass end of the sound spectrum, and the treble is significantly diminished. This decline in sound quality occurred immediately after I upgraded to iTunes 8. The sound quality in iTunes 7 was fine, and overall better.
    It appears that my iTunes 8 attempts to improve the playback sound quality of songs with 128 kbps bit rates, as these songs in my collection do seem to actually sound better. However, most of my collection are recordings imported at the higher sound quality standard of 320 kbps from CDs that I purchased, and these recordings all sound poor since I've installed iTunes 8.

  • I can't get any sound from ITunes. The computer's internal speakers are fine (they play utube sound, for example). And the sound bar on itunes is all the way to the right. Still no sound from the music library. Any insights?

    I can't get any sound from my ITunes library. The IMac is set to internal speakers, the volume bar on ITunes itself is all the way to the right, there seems to be no problem with the speakers themselves (they play sound from internet videos, for example), but I can't play music from the ITunes library on the IMac. Please help!

    Is it possible that you have iTunes set to send audio through AirPlay to an AirPort Express, Apple TV, or other AirPlay device (which is itself not turned up so you can hear it)?

  • I am trying to update my RSS via sound cloud to iTunes but having issues... please help

    I am trying to update my RSS via sound cloud to iTunes but having issues.
    I currently have my podcast working on iTunes but I have decided to change where I have them hosted.  I moved my podcasts over to Soundcloud and currently have the rss feed but I would like to update my iTunes podcast with this so that all my podcasts showing up on sound cloud will sync up and automatically update.
    here is my rss feed:
    feed://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/48458062-the-collective-podcast/tracks
    Podcast via Soundcloud:
    http://soundcloud.com/the-collective-podcast
    my podcast on iTunes:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-collective-podcast/id662393388
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    The feed in use by iTunes is http://thecollectivepodcast.podomatic.com/rss2.xml , not the one you list. It has one episode, whose media file URL is
    http://thecollectivepodcast.podomatic.com/enclosure/2013-06-14T16_06_53-07_00.mp 3
    Your feed at http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/48458062-the-collective-podcast/tracks has no episodes.
    You will obviously need to get this sorted out before you can proceed. Once you have the soundcloud feed working properly you will need to add a special tag to the original feed in order to transfer the Store to using the new feed. The method is decribed here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
    Please make sure you are completely clear about it before proceeding, and check that the new feed works by subscribing manually in iTunes before you try moving the Store to it.

  • How do I improve lame, irregular sound quality in itunes downloads?

    I know most of you are way past this, but I'm not Mr Computer Guy. So I download songs and sometimes they come through pretty well, but lots of other times though they complete the download, technically, they're murker, and vocals are lost. If I get the CD it doesn't sound that way. I know fidelity is challenged in downloads what with compression and all, but what do I do if it's really murky? Re-buy it? Pay the added 99 cents? Or is it just that song? And how do I generally improve sound quality in downloads?

    If you buy an iTunes track and find that it is defective, go into your purchase history and use the "Report a Problem" link to get a refund or replacement.
    If on the other hand you just don't like the sound quality of compressed music, then you will have to buy CDs, or shop at the fairly limited selection of online stores that sell music in the lossless formats WAV or FLAC.

  • Problem with sound in rented itunes series on mac mini (2010) hdmi

    Hello,
    I just bought the new mac mini with HDMI. It is connected via HDMI to my receiver Denon AVR 3310. The receiver shows that it has "multi channel in" on the display.
    I made all the configurations so that i can watch dvd an the mac mini. When i play a movie with Dolby Digital the receiver does show that on the display and playback is possible without any problems. All my 5.1 speakers play sound.
    The big problem is with iTunes. When I want to watch rented series from iTunes Store, for example Dr. House, only 2 speakers of my 5.1 are used. And when I change to surround in iTunes I can only hear static noise.
    What is the problem? What is wrong with iTunes?
    Thanks in advance

    I am having the same issue.
    I have a Panasonic TH-50PX60U, and a Yamaha RX-V2065. The Mini is plugged into the Yamaha via HDMI and Yamaha to TV via HDMI.
    Problem: Just to clarify I do NOT have a video problem. That part seems to be working fine, my problem is with audio. When ever I switch inputs on the receiver or turn the system off (not the Mini, that always stays on) the audio defaults back to the internal speaker in the Mini. I have to go into system settings and change it back to the HDMI audio out. This is super frustrating. I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong area, but it's the only thread that looked like it might have an answer. Thanks!

  • Sound not working & iTunes won't play & Netflix error

    Sometimes my sound stops working, and songs on iTunes won't play when this happens. Also if I try to watch Netflix an error message comes up: "Netflix Playback Error N8157 3140" and it says it could have something to do with my Silverlight plugin.
    This is what it says:
    The error you're seeing is related to the Silverlight plugin, which Netflix uses to play movies and TV shows on your computer.
    This error is usually caused by one of two things:
    A computer setting preventing Silverlight from storing files it needs to play your movie or TV show
    An issue with the Silverlight plugin itself
    To fix this error, follow the steps below for your Windows or Mac computer.
    Reinstall your audio card drivers 
    Your audio card drivers may be out of date or corrupt.
    Uninstall and reinstall your audio card driver. Your owner's manual or audio card manufacturer's website can help.
    However, I have tried deleting and reinstalling silverlight, but it doesn't make a difference. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? It only happens sometimes, other times I have no problems and it works fine.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Silverlight
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    Hello Aidan,
    Here is the statement from the Terms and Conditions of the iTunes Store:
    "You shall be authorized to use iTunes Products only for personal, noncommercial use."
    We do not give legal advice on this Forum, but I think the statement is pretty clear.
