Sound Distortion with Itunes 7 Upgrade

There's a lot of talk about the audio distortion. Those that didn't have success with changing the Quicktime Sound Output, try the follwing..
Disable Crossfade in Itunes. Under Edit-->Preferences on the Playback tab.
Uncheck Crossfade Playback.

I'm afraid I wasn't using Crossfade in the first place, so this solution doesn't work for me.

Sound distortion in iTunes and not in other players

Hello,
I've been experiencing some terrible sound distortion with iTunes that I don't have with any other player (WM player for instance).
I installed version 6 and this doesn't fix any issue.
This doesn't cause any problem when transferring files to iPod but still, have to be fixed!
Has anyone a clue or already fixed this in windows XP?
Thanks

Hi,
I have same problem with my iTunes 6.
You can try this(Helps for me):
1. From the Start menu, select Settings and open the Control Panel
2. Double-click the Multimedia or Sound, Speech & Audio devices icon,
3. Select Sound and Audio Devices, click the Advanced Audio button
4. Select the Advanced tab then
5. Select the Performance tab and find the Hardware Acceleration slider control
hardware acceleration should be set at full.
sample rate conversion quality should be set at best.

Sound garbled with iTunes

I tried to plus a B&W Zeppelin with my iMac through a minijack optical Toslink.
First problem : I cannot control sound level anymore from the menu bar : it's stuck to maximuM. I can only control it through the Zeppelin remote or the iTunes sound control.
Second problem : on some records (namely the Barry Lindon soundtrack), sound is horribly garbled, especially in the bass range (distorted). The same records play perfectly on my large tube system outside the office…

It's probably some setup parameter, or possibly the firmware on your NAS. I just did a quick google of +buffalo linkstation itunes setup+ and there were several mentions on the manufacturer's support site to upgrade the firmware after getting it out of the box.
Anyway, good luck - I do know some folks have posted that they have NAS working with itunes, so it can be done. As to your initial question, there is no way to stop itunes from writing to the ITL and XML files.

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.

TS1717 are there problems with iTunes upgrading from Vista to Windows 7?

are ther problems upgrading iTunes from Vista to Windows 7?

The best method is to use Windows Easy Transfer first to backup all your data, and do custom clean install. And install all your apps and drivers afterwards.
Yes it should work. Make sure you are ready, and have all the latest drivers and applications ahead of time.
There are some "gottchas" with the upgrade from Vista.

Horrible Sound Distortion with Creative HS-950

Hi, I recently bought the HS-950 USB Gaming headset. About 4 hours into gaming, I experienced an unpleasant sound distortion that made everyone on Vent Sound slowed down. I unpluuged my headset and a few hours later I had the same problem. After reading through the forums I have gathered this is a Major problem. But is there a Fix?
I am running Vista 32bit and using Realtek HD sound.
Thanks,
Vortexx.

I'm having the same problem .. horrible sound quality (headset OR headphone mode) on a MacBook Pro with built-in Bluetooth. I've got the latest & greatest update of Leopard too.
Headset works great with my cell phone (no distortion).
Will keep looking. Someone please post if they see a solution.
Here's one possibility, although it says it is for Tiger and requires some command-line manipulation (not bad, but I don't expect to have to do this kind of thing on OSX):

IPhone 6 Plus speaker sounds distorted with popping sound when phone rings or alerts play.

My iPhone 6 Plus is less than a 2 weeks old but since day one its speaker sounds distorted. The ringer or alerts or even the new email alert have a popping or clangy sound to them. Is this a software issue or hardware? My phone is uptodate and Ive tried hard reboots to try to alleviate the problem but it didn't fix the problem. Should I try to restore it? Also, If I take it in to my local Apple store and they replace it, will my new ZAGG screen protector just be a wasted $20???

Hi _3ntr0py,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your new iPhone 6 Plus. If you continue to have sound or speaker distortion with your iPhone, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Sound distortion since OS upgrade?

Am I imagining it, or has anyone else noticed a deterioration in sound quality during phone calls since the latest OS upgrade?
I have a BB 9300 3G and the OS is 6.0 bundle 2949.
The sound is fine on speaker and on headset, just a slight distortion on the handset which I am convinced started after the latest upgrade last week.

Thanks for the suggestions - I had done them all except dropping back on QuickTimes - I was already at 16 bit and have backed it off to 8 bit. At least this morning Eric Clapton is stuttering c-c-c-c-cocaine. It does seem better.
I am still having the problem with large applications impacting iTunes - but knowing this is a bug and not a problem I am having with my PC, I have stopped hyperventilating.
Stay tuned (no pun intended)

USB Headphones, sound distortion in iTunes

Hi,
I recently purchased a set of Logitech ClearChat Pro USB Headphones. They do have a specific driver, and are automatically installed when you plug them in. I run 32 Windows Vista.
The sound when listening to music or video through iTunes crackles and pops some. Listening to the same files in Windows Media Player yield no such distortion. I imagine it must have something to do with an audio codec or some quicktime setting, but I am not good enough to know where to start messing around.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Andy

Sound distortion with Audigy

Hi all
First off, I have looked at the FAQ's and tried just about everything except a reformat.
I just bought a Sound Blaster Audigy SE card for a budget spec PC. The rough specs are:
AMD Sempron 2600+
ASRock K8 Upgrade-689 motherboard (supposedly with 7.ch onboard AC'97 audio)
52mb ddr ram
ASUS 9250 graphics card (64mb)
When i first put the PC together, the sound did have some distortion when booting up (the windows startup sound was slightly distorted/crackly) and other distortion when other programs were loading and i was playing music at the same time. I assumed this was normal for a relati'vely budget PC.
However, I decided to get the problem solved by buying a sound card to improve the sound quality, but after installing the Audigy SE (and downloading the latest drivers), the distortion has got worse, and almost any program that uses system resources to load will cause a lot of distortion. It's not as crackly, but the sound jumps and slows a hell of a lot when i do absolutely anything else when playing music, like open a browser for example. I seriously doubt there is a fault with the card itself.
I've tried a fresh install, tested my speakers (which are fine) and the onboard sound is uninstalled and disabled in BIOS. There are no conflicting resources with the sound card. Could there be a problem with my motherboard? Or is there a better way to increase the performance of the sound? I wont even get started on running a 3D game engine while sounds are playing... If any more info is required just let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Haxel

You can also check if
- onboard sound/game/midi is disabled
- there are IRQs/recources shared w/ sound card --> change Audigy into another PCI slot if there is sharing (see your motherboard manual for IRQ assiments)
- SRC and HW acceleration are set to MAX
- directX drivers are up to date
- codecs are up to date
- drivers are 'correctly' installed (re-install original drivers from CD by running the ctzapxx.exe -> do not uninstall anything but just install and tag the option asking yuor permission to write over current drivers)

Trouble with itunes upgrade I receive an error message problem with windows installer package

I am trying to upgrade itunes. I am running windows vista 64. Everytime I try to upgrade I get an error that says Problem with windows installer package. Anyone know how to fix this?

No drivers in LowerFilters.
No drivers in UpperFilters.
Failed loading CD / DVD drives, error -43. Try doing a repair install on iTunes from the “Add or Remove Programs” control panel.
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Trouble with itunes upgrade and Vista

I upgraded to 8.0 last night. The upgrade seemed to go as normal, but all I have is a blank itunes icon on my desktop which doesn't work. I reinstalled and still the same thing. Any suggestions?

This happens to me every single time I upgrade iTunes since as far back as version 6.x I think and its happened on both Vista and XP PC's.
Every single time I upgrade it does something with the desktop and quick launch icons to where they get "blanked" out and are no longer valid. This forces me to re-copy the "Start Menu\Programs\iTunes" shortcuts (that are created by default with the installer) back to the desktop and quick launch every single time I upgrade.
Does anyone know why this happens? The iTunes installation is the only program Ive ever seen this issue with and its really gotten pretty annoying.
Thanks a bunch!!

Sound problems with iOS6 upgrade

Recently, I have found myself without normal sound when the sound feature of the phone is turned on.
Sound I have: Call tone, sounds for setting up call ringtone.
Sounds I don't have: Music through speakers, video sound, text tone, keyboard tone, text tone when setting up message alert, connection sound for power supply.
These all work if I hook my phone up to AUX. The unmute is on, media volume is all the way up, and when I press the up botton on the side of the phone, it recognizes "ringtone" it just won't add the dashes to show my phone is getting turned up.
This is a VERY big pain being it's as if my phone is on silent at all times. Can anyone assist me with this? Have the same problem? Know how to fix?

I had the same thing happen to my iPhone 4s after ios6 upgrade!!!!!! This isnt right that we have to deal with these issues from Apple!!! With all the money that Apple pulls in you would think they would be able to come up with the right kind of software updates!!!! And if they cant dont come up with a new update (That we have to download or our apps,etc wont work right) that isnt going to work on ALL THE iPHONES!!!!! Not just the iPhone 5!!!!!!!!!!!! I hade to take mine to Verizon and they tried everything they new to try and it didnt fix it so they ordered me another one and I got a ST@#ID REFURBISHED 64g iPHONE!!!!!! When I bought mine brand new FULL RETAIL!!!!!! I just got it today and I guess it's messed up TOO!!!!! Because I can hear kind of a low static sound coming from the ear speaker when I put it up to my ear!!!!!!!!!!! I swear when I'm up for my upgrade I will NEVER GET ANOTHER APPLE PRODUCT AS LONG AS I LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
