iTunes 7 skipping- SOLUTION! - it worked for me

[lostspyder]

Ive eliminated the iTunes 7 skipping probelm :D iTunes7 used to skip for me whever something else was err.. 'making sound' . ie whever I was watching a video, playing a game, etc. After trying out a fix for 5.1 sound HERE ive fixed that problem on my pc.

Here is the process

I have owerwrote QT 7.1 files with these ones from QT 7.0:

QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeAudioSupport.qtx

QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeAudioSupport.Resources

The download for the old QT files can be found

HERE

Thoes that do have this problem please report if it worked or not.

Says the zip corrupted. :\

Edit: Nevermind, opened it with WinRar and it was fine.. stupid MS. :(

Edit Edit: Yep, seems to have done the trick for me... although I have said that before with the increasing of volume to 100% as well. It used to spaz out when opening up the teamspeak client.. but shall try now with CoD and see if it still does it. :)

All you need to do is go into Control panel and the Quicktime Preferences and onto the Audio Tab then set the Sound Out Size to 16bit again then apply. Reboot. Works for me.

What do you mean? Mine was 16 bit from the time of instalation. :unsure:

What the hell? This has just made my iTunes sound a hell of lot worse, it now doesn't play smoothly at all and is full of static.

For f*ck sake Apple, just release a god damn patch you idiots.

I'll try out this fix tomorrow afternoon once I get in and will post back. I'm also going to try changing the rate and sound out size to see if it makes any difference. Will post back :)

Another location that you can download these files from is http://hyperupload.com/download/02ec597539/QTSystem.zip.html

Thought I'd just add that here as I've spent FOREVER trying to find a fix for this problem and was frustrated when I thought I had come across one but the download link had died..

It's really surprising Apple haven't addressed this issue.

Didn't work for me, but I found a solution on the Apple.com forums that did the trick.

Basically it involves DXDIAG and setting hardware acceleration for audio to "basic". More detailed instructions here:

What worked for me was opening the Windows Task Manager clicking on the process tab right clicking on itunes and setting the priority to high.
