Connecting an audio device
The first thing we will try is to connect an audio device to your computer. It seems that iTunes has an error where if you don’t have an audio device connected, the application reports an error and refuses to load the media.
This seems odd, because even if no audio device is available, the application should only transmit sound to the drivers, who should do everything from there. Nevertheless, try to connect a headset/audio to your computer and make sure it is recognized. Then try restarting the application and check that the problem is solved.
CONCLUSION
You must also make sure that iTunes on your computer is updated with the latest version. Normally, Apple runs a service called the Apple Update Service on Windows. You should run it and see if there are any updates. If not, go to the official iTunes website and install the latest version manually.
