problems with iTunes 7

anyone else having problems with sound in iTunes 7? I had iTunes 6.4 on my machine before and I could play music from the iTunes store without a problem, but now, I just upgraded to iTunes 7, and I can't even browse the iTunes store. I browse and click on a song to listen to a 30 second clip of, and the song freezes, and plays a loud single note thru my 5.1 speakers. like if the songs hang. It isn't just a single song either, its the whole store it seems like. any ideas on this one? I'm using XP with a SB Audigy Gamer, if that makes any difference at all LOL Sound works fine everywhere else, even tried setting the sound blaster card back to factory defaults, still same problem, tried rebooting still same problem. could this be an iTunes 7 specific issue? its not with the iTunes store, because I can't play songs on my local hard drive thru iTunes no more either now  how do I downgrade back to 6.4 this sucks

yeah well, that doesn't help me fix the problem Spray, it just shows that 50,000+ people are having the same problem. I would downgrade back to 6.4, but I no longer have the 6.4 install file, I overwrote my 6.4 install for the version 7 install if I could find it, I would just reinstall windows XP and do that to fix the problem temporarily. unfortunately, if I do that, I would loose another authorization to play my songs, I have already used up 2 and I only got 5 total, which is a real pain in the butt I tell yah. I'm really beginning to HATE iTunes with a passion.

By the way, if you have an ipod , you need version 7 to update the ipods os since they now embedded the ipod updater program with itunes instead of making the updater seperate. I had a heck of a time when I updated but it was do to turning off some needed services on the black viper list that messed up the ipod updater and kept it from loading. Also Itunes 7 wont work with IpodderX for windows now when it is supposed to. IpodderX no longer adds the videos it downloads to Itunes for some reason but is ok with mp3s so I am now using feedemon

See if my suggestion helps out as the problem you describe is common when your sound card is set to direct x hardware instead of the actual name of the sound card your using.
Shouldnt hurt to try as I have it happen to me all the time when I install the replay radio drivers that change my sound settings all over and usally the above trick fixes the problem.

I had trouble with Itunes. Check your sound settings first before getting rid of Itunes 7 bubazoo.
First click your speaker icon by your clock to open up playback control, then click "Options" and "Properties" and make sure your sound card is set for both playback and recording. Once done, click ok and close out of everything.
Now open up quicktime "Quicktime Player", click "Edit" , "Preferences", "Quicktime Preferences" ,"Audio" Tab, "Select audio playback and recording devices." And on the box that pops up, make sure on the Audio/voice tabs that your sound card is set as the default in each of those boxes and click ok.
If the "Safe mode" box is checked where you see the "Select audio playback and recording devices." is you may want to uncheck it so your audio is not being generated via software instead of hardware.
That should fix your problem.
it didn't, still same problem..
It seems to be an iTunes 7 specific problem. 6.4 worked just fine. so I may want to go ahead and downgrade if I can figure out how to.

actually, it did.. it was set to
Rate 44.1 khz
Size 16bit
Channels: Stereo (L,R)
so I set the size to 24 instead of 16, and now it plays the music (horray) but its all distorid now
so I then tried changing the channel to 5.1 surround, and that didn't work either, so I'm not sure what to do now
I am using a SB Audigy Gamer (just the original Audigy 1)
with Creative 5.1 surround sound speakers.

Some folks say the hissing disappears after you raise your itunes volume level on the itunes program all the way to the right to the max settings. See if this article helps you out Bubazoo. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610

yeap, that fixed it! thanks trallyus!
nothing in that whole article worked, except for changing 16bit to 24bit, and then moving the volume bar in iTunes all the way to the right. if even close to half way to the right, still distorted, only all the way over to the right fixed the problem entirely.
sound enhancer had no effect on it at all.. (shrugs) computers are nutty. (uugh!)
thanks

hrm, having trouble finding a song on iTunes, they must not have everything, hehe am looking for "Glenn Frey" "Party Town" should be on the album "no fun aloud", strange that they don't have it though. oh well. search results keep coming up with Joe walsh er something..(shrugs) a great friday song! hehe I mean, I don't mind purchasing it from whoever has it, I just don't want the whole album from amazon or something, I just want that particular song. unfortunately, all the other music companies make you pay a subscription fee of some sort
