Got the video, but no sound...

I had videos I wanted to put on my ipod, but, the file couldn't be read, so I had to convert the songs so my ipod could read it, but it seems that when I play the video... the images come... but not the sound... I have no idea what to do, some help would be appreciated.
ps: it plays normal songs no prob, thx alot.

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

  • I just got my replacement ipad last night. when i got home and tried the applications, there is no sound. but the videos do have sounds.

    i just got my replacement ipad last night. when i got home and tried the applications, there is no sound. but the videos do have sounds. i already checked the settings. i cannot find what's causing it. please help.

    You may have already checked the settings, but it still sounds like you have system sounds muted.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Firefox plays video, but no sound. when I type about:plugins in location bar, it shows the firefox default plugin is not enabled. When I look at my plugins, it says it is enabled. I have uninstalled 3.6 and re-installed with the same result.

    firefox plays video, but no sound. when I type about:plugins in location bar, it shows the firefox default plugin is not enabled. When I look at my plugins, it says it is enabled. I have uninstalled 3.6 and re-installed with the same result. Why do I have no sound. Computer plays I-tunes and all other sounds, just no web browser sounds.

    Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
    The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems.

  • I just put Facetime on my MacBook and Ipad. I can connect and recieve video but no sound. The other person can hear me. If I use Skype everything works fine. I can't find any where in Facetime to change settings for the audio. Any suggestions

    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
    Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
    If recovery does not work there's:

  • Live!Cam Voice: video but no sound

    I've installed the Live!Cam Voice, updated the driver too but I cannot get it to work. I does record the video, but there's no sound.
    I've checked the sound settings both on the Live!Cam and windows. The Live!Cam settings are set to record using Live!Cam, whereas the windows sound settings, in control panel are set as follows:
    Audio
    Realtek AC97
    Sound recording
    Live!Cam Voice (mic)
    The strange thing is that the Live!Cam microphone DOES work if I use it with Windows Accessory Sound Recorder.
    Has anybody got an idea why there's no sound?
    Thank You

    I am having the same problem. I am using windows Vista and have tried?recording sound in other applications and it works fine, just not when trying to record in LIVE! cam. I jbought this cam 2 months ago and just now find out it does not work when I need it the most. I am due to give a video presentation in two weeks and will probably have to buy a new cam, what a dissapointment!

  • I have m4v files that have subtitles and sound options they play fine on my computer in itunes and but  when i watch them on my apple tv there is video but no sound ... why ?

    I have m4v files that have subtitles and sound options they play fine on my computer in itunes and but  when i watch them on my apple tv there is video but no sound ... why ? all my other videos are fine and they in mp4 format.

    Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

  • There's Video but no sound!

    So i have some Tv show on my MacBook, and when i go to watch them there is video but no sound. Quicktime prompts me that i need to download a codec but not which one. Which onw do i need?

    Tried that, it said i needed DivX, but i already have that. What else could i use?Try watching it in VLC. If it plays, check the audio info and see if it is more specific. What is the file extension -- .divx or .avi? What DivX component do you have installed? Do you have Mac "non-native" audio support (like AC3) installed? Until you can supply more information, I can only guess at possibilities for you to check and evaluate. You might also try opening the file in a conversion application like FFmpegX and see if he A/V formats are recognized/convertable to a fully supported QT compression format. As a last resort, consider a "rule of thumb here" -- if a format doesn't work, don't support its use.

  • Saved from the web, but no sound

    I was allowed to "save as quicktime movie" from a friends web site. When I play the movie, everything is fine. When I try to save it to iPod or anywhere else, I get video but no sound. I have QT Pro. When I look at the files props., it says that this video contains no sound. I'm not positive that this file wasn't a Windows Media file, or encoded as a MPEG-2... it there any chance to fix this problem? Would it be possible that the audio is embeded in the page and not the video?

    So to follow up: The clip that has sound on my desktop, if I use streamclip, chances are that it will export with sound?If the file is an MPEG-1 file with reasonably normal settings, then Streamclip should be able to convert it directly to an iPod compatible format and preserve the audio. On rare occasions where very unusual, custom audio settings have been used in conjunction with an intermediate conversion codec, I have seen poor synchronization between audio and video. But this is not the norm. Frankly, in the time it has taken for me to explain this and for you to read it, you could have made a 1 minute test conversion and examined the results for yourself. The only problem I can see would be if the media you wish to convert was an MPEG-2 file which would require the Apple QT MPEG-2 component ($19.99) to be installed. Since you indicated your could play both audio and video in the original file QT, then either you already have this component or the file is not MPEG-2.
    The basic problem here is the fact that QT is based on "frame-to-frame" synchronization referenced by an arbitrary unit of time. MPEG-1/2 "muxed" files, on the other hand, intersperse blocks of audio data with blocks of video data in a single data stream to physically maintain synchronization in terms of the "space" occupied by the different blocks of data. (I.e., one form of data cannot "overrun" the other.) These represent two different media technologies and is why you need an MPEG based application (or a hybrid thereof) to "assist" QT in these conversions. Owing to its wide use on the Internet, Apple finally added playback only support for MPEG-1 files. In a similar manner, you can add limited QT support for MPEG-2 files "for a price." Neither format can be properly edited in QT and will lose audio if converted to another format by any QT based application (QT, iTunes, iMovie, FCE, FCP, etc).

  • I converted the movie, but no sound

    I converted the movie, but no sound
    the movie was converted from mpg. to m4v.
    any reason?
    btw, to convert 3 minutes of video takes like 30 minutes!

    I have started using HandBreak to convert my DVDs.
    I am currently using the Linux command line version and wrote a script to mass convert all my DVDs and its doing a really good job and taking about 1/2-3/4 hour to convert 1 DVD.
    There are windows and mac versions of the program too.

  • Shows no video but has sound

    Show no video but has sound what do I need to do to fix this?

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

    I paid for a rented film on my iPad, got the receipt but now i can't find the film and its not in my purchase history. Help!

    If you rented and downloaded it on your iPad then it should be in the Videos app - if it doesn't show in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

  • I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open

    I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from an external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. While setting up my new MAC the external hard drive was dropped and I have been told by an outside source they could not retrieve the files.  It had 4 years of photos and videos on it. I remembered that I had downloaded some of the videos from the external hard drive (before it was broke) to Adobe Organizer 13 when I installed the Adobe 13 on my MACOS X 10.9.5.  I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open these videos?
    Any input is greatly appreciated!! I am sick over losing the videos and had a little hope on Adobe Organizer until I was unable to open them.  I am thinking it is due to my external hard drive not being plugged in. I thought when I transferred from the external hard drive to Adobe 13 that it would be there without the external hard drive needing to be attached but maybe I did something wrong.
    Thanks again for any help!!!!

    It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
    To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
    Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?
