Sound on Itunes doesn't sound right

I'm not sure if my problem is with my computer or the itunes. The sound when i play my music on itunes is terrible. The equilizer doesn't help at all, i put it on manual and i couldn't hear anything, just an intense amount of bass. The vocals will be really low and and the other parts jacked way up or vise versa. I can't figure this out.

Hi notoriousnwa
Try using the Recovery Manager to Restore the Original Driver look for the IDT High-Definition Audio driver.
Also, do you have any sound issue when using Windows Media Player?

My final mix in itunes doesn't sound the same as in Logic. Why?

Having trouble with the difference in Logic and when I listen back in iTunes , it sounds so different. I have the flat EQ set in iTunes

just checking... is "Sound Enhancer" in iTunes Preferences switched off???
Otherwise it will definitely sound different than Logic...

Video playing with no sound in iTunes, playing with sound on iPod

When I try to watch my videos on iTunes the video plays but the sound does not, it even happens on videos that I bought from the music store. The sound for my songs works just fine, just not for video. They work when I play it them on my iPod, too. Any ideas?

i updated to 10.4.7 and it worked.

Why do spkrs sound in iTunes but other apps only sound thru earphones?

Strangeness.I have great sound from iTunes, but no sound from any other app, and no ringer from my phone. I have tried drying out the earphone socket with a hairdryer, and plugging/unplugging while listening to an iTunes song - all to no avail. I have checked al my settings, and all I can find are set to make sounds heard. Now I am flummoxed.
Any more ideas?

I found an answer. Somehow, my otterbox defender has been opened and the MUTE button was switched. Since I am the only one who uses my phone, and I never opened the case, I am not sure how it got switched ... but that was the whole problem! SOLVED!!!!!

My 17" Macbook Pro battery swelled up and kind of exploded. The apple genuis said it is still safe to use, that doesn't sound right.

I am just kind of worried that it doesn't even fit. Do I need to kind of pop the expanded portion of the battery to get it to fit back in? The case of the battery has come apart and so to fit it back in I would have to press it back together. The battery is low count and had great capacity when it happened. I don't want to have to buy another one when this one is fairly new.

... The apple genuis said it is still safe to use, that doesn't sound right.
I agree with you, that's not right.
This may seem to be a little problem - fix it before it becomes a big one.

Sound keeps muted, iTunes doesn't play songs

Sinds a week or two sometimes when I boot my mac my sound doesn't work. My sound keeps muted and I can't turn the volume up because it's unclickable grey.
Someone told me to do the "cmd + ctrl + n + v"-trick and that sometimes helps me but the problem keeps coming back. Also iTunes doesn't want to play my songs, it keeps stuck on 0:00.
In my sound-systempreferences everything seems okay.
My specs are:
- iMac mid 2012 running OSX lion 10.7.4
- Processor 3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
- Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
- Video AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB

the same thing is happening to me as well since I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. My sound beeps now in everything, from email notifications, to music. But iTunes won't play any songs that I select. Hope to get some feedback.

I have similar problem, but mine doesn't sound like a loose screw, more like the battery or vibration component is loose. When I shake the phone left to right abit I can feel that it's around the top area. Very annoying, besides that it works fine. Gonna

ITunes doesn't read 5.1 surround sound

I bought a Mac Mini after an Apple TV because it isn't so open I'd like.
I bought many HD TV Show like Grey's Anatomy.
In France the price is 60€ for the season.
I plug my Mac Mini on my receiver with an optical cable.
And I was surprised when I saw iTunes doesn't read the 5.1 surround sound.
I call the Apple Support Center, and they confirm iTunes can read only Stereo sound.
But, when I read the 5.1 surround sound on my Apple TV, it works very well.
So, II was very angry because after buying a TV show at 60 €, I realized that I could not read the surround sound directly with iTunes.
Gentlemen developers eagerly await an update steep iTunes.

+ 1
I just bought some Lost episodes... when i select 5.1 in iTunes my speakers play an horrible sound...
I'm angry to because i bought them especially to enjoy the surround sound.
I'm using a Macmini late 2009 (which remplace my old Apple tv) with an optical cable...

Pretty new to this, 2 recordings, doesn't sound right.. need help!

we had a narrator come into our own booth and record a lot of narration for us. She came back today to do some additions and corrections.
Used the same equipment, same booth, same everything, but for some reason it just doesn't sound right, it sounds "muffled" a little.. at least to me. I don't normally "clean" audio so I'm kind of lost. I haev the frequency analysis open and see the graph, and between 16000 and up its much much lower on the original recordings than it is on the ones done today.
Is there ANY way to try to get these matched up closely? All i've really tried is the EQ but that doesn't seem to get me very far.. what other things could I try... I'm really not an expert at this by any means!

This sort of problem has plagued everybody recording narrations for years - it's virtually impossible to get an identical sound between narration sessions unless you are seriously lucky. All it takes is for the narrator to have a slight cold in the head and be wearing different clothes - and they sound different if a direct comparison is made. Even worse is if they had a slight cold or whatever the first time around and are fine the next - you'd need them to get that cold again! And no EQ or anything else can even begin to compensate for this - the human ear is incredibly sensitive to the sound of voices, and even really subtle changes are very noticeable.
Best thing to do is to re-record sections, and not just corrections - you can often get away with this if there are breaks between sections. Even then it may not be right.
The way it has always worked for me is that if alternatives may be required, we do them all at the same sitting - and record a load of 'silence' too - that comes in more useful than you might ever imagine. And if it's critical, then re-record the whole thing - the amount of editing and correcting time required may well exceed the re-recording time, so often its worth it even though it sounds mad on the face of it.

IPhone Vibrate doesn't sound right.

When my iPhone 4 vibrates, it has this weird rattling sound to it. I just got a new one from sending mine in, and my last one didn't sound like this.. Should I get in contact with Apple?

If you are not satisfied then of course you can, a refurb is meant to be as new and yours doesn't sound like it is.

All my loops are present in the browser, but when I drag a sound over it doesn't match. With beats, I get no percussion sounds, just a basic 8-bit type sound.

I had a critical failure on my Mac and have slowly been rebuilding it, but Garageband just doesn't want to cooperate. This is actually a two-fold problem. First problem is; all of my loops are in my browser and when I click on one for a preview sound, it works fine. But, when I drag it into the project window I lose any the correct sound. They still have sound, but it will be a basic "blip, bloop" type 8-bit sound. This is namely with any kind of beats or percussion. Say I try to use a Trip Hop loop, all I get is the blips and bloops but no hi-hats, no snare, no kind of percussion sound at all.
Second problem: As I said before, all of my loops are correct in my loop browser, but they didn't seem to transfer over the MIDI sounds that I can usually choose from in the Track Info pane. It still only has the most basic sounds to choose from. Before, I had all the different MIDI sounds to choose from, such as Star Sweeper and the like, but those are all gone. I've tried to drag-and-drop into that pane but it won't let me.
I really hope that someone has an answer for this, I have a lot of projects I've been working on for a long time that are basically trash right now because I can't do anything with them.

Missing Instruments:
The pop-up menu at the top of the track info pane filters the instruments: Make sure it is set to "show all".
I am not sure at all about your drums, however. You do not drag your drum-loops to tracks with different instruments, do you?
What you describe, looks exactly like something where transposing the drum loops and shifting the notes. This would cause the beats to be mapped to different instruments. And this is not suposed to happen, when you set the key of your project or transpose the master track.
Does this happen only in your account, or also when you launch GarageBand form a diffrent user account? You might create a new account forr testing, to explore this.

My iPad doesn't sound?

My iPad doesn't sound?

After some tinkering, I have found that that was the problem.
I had the setting for the side switch to lock the rotation rather than mute.
This worked fine for locking and unlocking screen rotation but had a strange effect on mute.
Whether it was on or off, system sounds were muted.
Therefore, I changed the setting to Mute instead of Rotation Lock. This got me back the sounds.
Once I knew system sounds worked, I then switched Rotation Lock back on and, hey presto, everything OK.
Never even noticed the Mute icon to the left of playback controls (double home and swipe right). Perhaps that would also fix it.
Thanks for your pointer JimHdk - you were a great help.

Itunes crackling, popping sounds...

Hi all,
I have been having annoying clacking/popping sounds in iTunes 8.02.20.
Please do not direct me to the link intitled "iTunes and QuickTime: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly" since I checked and tried everything there.
The problem affects only songs played in iTunes (not Media player or sounds in games or streaming online). Not all songs are affected but I am not going to systematically go through my library to figure out which ones are not working. Interestingly, I noticed this problem for songs downloaded from the iTunes store and more often then not its classical music.

I installed iTunes for the first time this weekend on my XP Pro machine and was having the same problem. After much trial and error I discovered what was causing the crackling/popping sounds with all my songs in iTunes and in my case Quicktime also. Quicktime's default audio size was set to 8-bit and the rate to 32kHz. Both were the lowest settings available. I changed the audio size to 24-bit and the rate to 192kHz, then applied my settings and closed out of Quicktime. This completely resolved my issue. No more crackling/popping sounds in iTunes or Quicktime.
The Quicktime settings in question can be accessed via the file menu in Quicktime per the below...
Edit->Preferences->Quicktime Preferences->Audio->Sound Out->
Good luck! I hope this simple change in Quicktime settings resolves the issue for you as it has for me. In my case I was installing these applications for the first time and was only doing so in order to use iTunes as I'll be purchasing my first iPod in the next month or so. As such, I didn't think to check the settings in Quicktime right away as I was initially troubleshooting this problem.

No sound from iTunes after installing Yahoo IM

iTunes has worked fine for me until yesterday. After I installed Yahoo IM I now have no sound in iTunes. I've checked all of the PC and iTunes volume settings a dozen times, everything looks good on the sound card setup. I uninstalled Yahoo IM and it still isn't working. Can someone help?

First go here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302478
If that doesn't work, goto control panel>Quicktime>Audio tab and check "Safemode" hit OK and reboot for the settings to take

5.1 sound in iTunes.

Basically, does iTunes support 5.1 sound? I recently purchased 5.1 sound but when using iTunes only 2 of the speakers work (and not the subwoofer), is this just iTunes not supporting all 5 speakers or are the rest broken?
If iTunes doesn't support 5.1 sound, can someone kindly tell me of a program (any program) that does so I can test my speakers.
Thanks.

Yeah I have the same problem.... I am so ****** at apple for releasing this, itunes 7 is absolutely terrible. I cant play music while playing games (which is what I used it for 90% of the time) and when I am able to listen to music, it only plays out of 2 of my 6 speakers, and Im pretty sure its at a lower quality then it was before but I dont really have any way of proving it (and yes I changed all the stuff in audio preferences)
