iTunes has no audio but play indicator moves.

by stangold - 8/31/09 7:12 PM

I am running Snow Leopard and after installation itunes was working. I noticed this afternoon that double clicking on a song would start the marker moving as if it were playing but there was no audio. I've tried replacing preferences but the problem continues. Ran repair permissions and I got the following message which I don't understand:

ACL found but not expected on "Applications/QuickTime Player.app".
Repaired "Applications/QuickTime Player.app".
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

When I switch to a TEST user the music plays. When I log back into my user the music progress indicator is moving but there is no audio. Movies play with sound. Tried reinstalling iTunes but that didn't fix the issue.

The only other thing I can think of is that I installed Quark 8.1 this afternoon. That could have screwed up the playback but I haven't a clue how that could happen.

Would appreciate any suggestions.

thanks,

Stan

My face is red! Didn't notice that the songs were playing through my Apple TV and not the computer. Didn't notice this at first since I never play songs through the TV!

This happened to me also, and until I read your post I was baffled. The thing is that I never set the preference to have music play through the Apple TV. It must be the default setting with either iTunes 9.0.2.

Just installed iTunes 10 and had the same problem. Like you it was on AppleTV playback. I had not changed it must have happened at install.

Thanks for posting the solution, it was proving hard to fathom.

System Restore

It seems that the default settings of your Quicktime Player has been modified in which it is not anymore compatible with iTunes. One way to fix this is to restore your current settings to its previous settings by using a "System Restore" process. I am not really sure if MAC PC have this one but all of Windows PC have it installed already in the system. Try to find something like this in your MAC PC and everything will be back to normal...
