Sound stops while song or video continues

Lately, I've been getting a lot of sound gaps while playing songs or videos on my iTunes on my iMac. I can see the bar moving, or if it is a video, the video keeps moving. And in a couple of seconds, the sound is back.
How do I debug this problem?

I also have the beach ball quite often with Firefox at the same time. I ran disk-utility to fix permissions, and also did a disk check (no problem). I have 4G of memory and up-to-date software.

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.

When you try to power off with the top button, do you get the "Slide to Power Off" bar? And do you slide it? If it powers back on immediately after doing that, since you have already done a reset, then restore is the next step. You can restore from a backup, or if that doesn't fix it, restore as a new device. Remember restoring as a new device will delete all content from the phone, so make sure you have synced everything.

Sound stops during song

Hi
The sound keeps cutting off half way through songs or at anytime and sometimes only one side of the speaker will work and sometimes its just fuzzy.
I have tries running songs through media player etc and it works fine. There is nothing wrong with my speakers.
What do I do? It really annoying... HELP

NoSound problem with headphones? With speaker?
If only with headphones have you tried another pair of headphones?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Date modified for random songs and videos continuously changes

Using iTunes Match and iMac, MacBook Pro, iPhone 5 and iPod 2 - random songs and videos have modification dates reset; I used to be able to find newest added files by sorting by modification date and now it is entirely random. Also, I got 40 plus copies of two random CDs on MacBook Pro, as though Match just keeps Matching and adding the same tracks.

I have the same problem. Mac OS 10.5.3. Intel iMAC core duo. When I upgraded to iTunes 7.6.2 all of my playlists went grey. Both Music and Movie Playlists.
I installed the latest version of quicktime which did not fix the video playlist greyed out issue as noted in other areas of the support forums.

Sound stops and skips on videos constant

Can't play video's sent on computer because they freeze constantly. Music stops and picture freezes! Now what can I do to fix?

Make sure you have disabled automatic Windows Updates as instructed above.
Download and install these drivers in this order. These are all zip files so you'll have extract the .exe files to install them. Reboot if requested.

Hey davma1
All you need to delete the songs then go through the process of downloading the past purchase again.

Why do some songs and videos stop playing or freeze while playing?

I have an 80 gig iPod classic that I never had problems with until now. I started noticing songs and videos I bought from iTunes aren't working. They will play for 30 seconds, stop, and go to the next song. I called iTunes, and they told me to use the online support but it hasn't helped me. Every time I go on there, it just tells me to call again. I've also tried to restore my iPod and it didn't work, so I'm wondering if anyone else has found and alternate way to fix it.

I have a similar problem. My IPod 5 and 3Gen will stop playing songs about halfway through. The timer indicates its playing but no music. When I've checked these songs on in ITunes they pay fine and completely. I've tried removing them from ITunes and downloading again but with no success. This seems to be random and as I have over 2K worth of songs its difficult for me to determin where the problem is. One of the reasons I purchased the IPod 5 was hopes to eliminate this problem. Any ideas on what other things I can do to solve this problem?

Itunes sound stops working after 20 mins on videos bought from iTunes store.

On every video i've bought from the iTunes store the sound cuts out after approx 20 mins. I'm on windows 8.0 (completely up-to-date with all drivers up-to-date too) with the latest iTunes (11.1.3.8) and Quicktime (with enhancements switched off). PC is a quad core i7 with 16GB of memory with windows running on an SSD and my iTunes content on another internal HD (not an SSD). iTunes library is approx 24000 songs and 30 videos. i'm watching on a full HD monitor with external speakers and the PC is authorised to play iTunes content.
I've worked my way through all the iTunes support items around video chopping (which was happening too - now fixed) and audio issues but nothing helps e.g. I've switched off iTunes match and home sharing, switched off any audio enhancements in iTunes and my sound card (which is a Via chipset on my motherboard), switched the bit rate to 16 bit/44.1k on windows and itunes, uninstalled and re-installed iTunes etc, etc.
I did have an Apple TV on my network but I've disconnected it in case the sound was being routed to it after a period of time. This hasn't made any difference.
Has anyone had this issue and managed to fix it?
Thanks

Myself as well, have been having this same problem, around 20 minutes into any movie I open up in my itunes library, the sound stops playing. I have yet to find any fix for the problem, although I have a thought that it is probably something to do with the buffering. My songs play just fine, all day long, but any movie only plays for 20 minutes and then the sound goes out. Additionally, I had another issue that kept popping up an error message everytime I tried to open Itunes, this was finally fixed via copy paste a corruptted (spelling) .dll file. The only "workaround" for this issue, that I have found, is to open the movie in QuickTime, even though I am not really excited about the QuickTime player. If anyone finds a better solution, please drop a line. thank you in advance.

I downloaded a new version of Itunes on my PC now some songs and videos have stopped working as well as ringtones have disappeared.

Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

VIDEO PLAY BACK - SOUND (Stop a UIloader?)

PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE!! I am going to rip my eyes out!
Here is what I have set up:
I have a website...
http://www.thedrewblood.com
I have several pages set up on a main time line. Siting on my
main time line is a UI loader that automatically loads an mp3
player, which the client wants to play through, with out
interuptions. The pages have labeled frames, and the buttons have
eventlisteners to move the time line to the specific frame. On this
frame (say it is "video") I have a movie clip, with the page
content. Inside this movie clip time line I have a ui loader which
will load my flv playback component with various video.
So, the video loads perfectly, and everything is fine.
However, there are some complexities that I would like to remedy.
when you navigate away from the "video" frame, the sound from
the video continues to play. I would like that sound to stop, or is
there a way to stop the ui loader?
I want the video to play, and stop as you leave the frame
because I don't want the ui loader for the mp3 player to be
interrupted.
If anyone can help me it would be greatly
appreciated!!

Rob, thanks for gettting back...here is how I have it set up
and the code for it:
On my main timeline, I have labeled frames (music, video,
photos, gigs...etc) One a frame labeled "home" is were i have all
of the buttons (music, video, photos, etc...) siting with event
listeners telling the timeline to go to those frames. One the
"video" frame sits a movie clip, inside of this time line are some
more navigation buttons, very simple. (basically you are navigating
deeper inside other timelines- 2 to be precise)
when you navigate to the section with the video, this is how
i have it set up. I have a button, and I gave it an instance of
"train_btn". Then I have a UI Loader sitting next to it. I gave
that an instance of "swfbox". Then, on that frame I set this code"
stop();
function ontrain(eventobject:Event):void {
var swfPathAndName:URLRequest = new URLRequest("train.swf");
swfbox.autoLoad = false;
swfbox.maintainAspectRatio = true;
swfbox.scaleContent = false;
swfbox.source = swfPathAndName.url;
swfbox.load();
train_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ontrain);
***my source FLA for "train.swf" is set up like this.
I have another FlA file, which has the FLV playbackcomponent
and the video embedded. I test this, and it works just fine.
So, everything works, but, I want to be able to navigate away
and not hear the sound, also, I will eventually be adding more
video, which I want the ui loader to load...so, if it loads another
video, i don't want the sound from the first one to continue
either.
If you could help that would be FANTASTIC!
Thanks
Adam

I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad, but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself. Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Hi:
You go into the BIOS, select the Advanced Options menu.
Go to the device configuration menu and there will be an onboard audio setting.
It will be set to Disabled. Change the setting to Enabled. Save the setting there by hitting the F10 key, and again when you exit the BIOS.
After you reboot, you will have the onboard audio back.
