Apple’s iTunes software allows you to manage and play your media files. Occasionally, a problem may arise that prevents you from hearing any audio from within the iTunes software. There are several reasons why iTunes may remain silent, and understanding these potential culprits can lead to a speedy resolution. Troubleshooting the iTunes audio problems on your own can save your business the costs associated with a professional service call.

Computer Audio Settings

The iTunes software relies on your computer’s audio settings to play the audio from your media files properly. If your computer’s main volume is low or muted, then you won't hear audio from iTunes or any other application. A red circle with a line through it displays over the Windows speaker icon when the audio is muted. Clicking the speaker icon opens a volume dialog box and allows you to adjust the volume settings for your computer. In addition, check the cable connection between your computer and any external speakers. Without a proper cable connection or if you fail to turn on the speakers, you won’t be able to hear any audio.

ITunes Software

Apple’s iTunes software features its own volume settings. If iTunes’ volume setting is too low, then you will not be able to hear any audio for the files you play. Moving the volume slider to the right increases the volume and may resolve the problem. You can find the iTunes volume slider toward the top of the screen, near the Play/Stop control. If the problem persists, you may need to update the iTunes software installed on your computer. A message often appears when you first open iTunes informing you that updates are available.

Audio Drivers

Outdated audio drivers installed on your Windows computer may prevent you from hearing the audio playing within iTunes. Updating the audio drivers may resolve the problem. To check for audio updates, click “Start,” right-click “Computer” and then select “Manage.” Click “Device Manager” from the Computer Management screen that opens and then click the 'Sound' option. Double-clicking the audio device you want to update opens the Properties dialog box. Selecting the “Drivers” tab provides an option to update the driver software.

Sound Enhancer Conflict

The iTunes software contains a Sound Enhancer feature that may conflict with some Windows audio software. Disabling the iTunes Sound Enhancer often resolves the problem. Clicking “Edit,” “Preferences” and then the “Playback” tab to disable Sound Enhancer. The check box appears empty after you deselect the feature.

Plugin Conflicts

If you installed any third-party plugins, they may be to blame for iTunes silence. The iTunes software stores all plugins in the iTunes Plug-ins folder. You can find this folder under 'C: Users Username AppData Roaming Apple Computer iTunes.' The “C” represents the hard drive letter and may vary depending on your computer’s configuration. In addition, the “Username” represents your Windows ID. Deleting the plugins may resolve your audio problems.
