Sound file not working online

Hi,
Am creating a file for public access through Dropbox. Am on a MacBook running Mountain Lion and using Acrobat Pro X. This is the first time I have tried doing anything more complicated than just creating simple documents.
I created a 2-page document in Pages and saved as a pdf. Then I added a short mp3 through the Multimedia > Sound option. It works well on my computer, but when added to Dropbox, it does not activate (unless downloaded back to computer).
Should it work online? I'm sure it must, so I'm missing something.
Any advice gratefully received,
TIA
Graham

    Here i want to get sound file then i want to play it . I did that but when i play it , it's not work .why ??Because there's no code that actually plays the file? Source data lines don't play the file when you open them, you have to manually read data from the AudioInputStream and write it to the SourceDataLine...and you're not doing that.
    You essentially walked into the bathroom, lifted the toilet seat and unzipped your pants...and wondered why the toilet wasn't making that "I'm peeing" sound. It's because you didn't start actually moving urine from your bladder to the toilet...

  • Sound & iCal not working + other questions

    Hi, I'm a new mac user and at the moment I have many, many questions...
    1) My sound is not working! I remember it working well last night but when I woke it from its sleep today, it doesn't make a sound anymore, and the F4 & F5 that you can use to adjust the sound don't respond either o_O There's nothing plugged in, when I check the sound panel in system preference, it is set to the maximum, and the mute box is unchecked...however they are both greyed.
    2) My iCal was initially working as well. However when I updated (5 minutes ago), it stopped responding. When I click on the application icon, it jumps in my dock but it doesn't open...
    3) I also tried to install this application named Atomix Dojam X. I had an older version of it, but I deleted it and wanted to install v.X because the older version ran on Mac OS X 9. However, when I downloaded it to my desktop and ran the setup guide, I cannot change the destination (the default destination is Macintosh HD), and even though it says "installation successful" in the end, it does not appear in my application folder nor anywhere else...
    4) I was also wondering...when I updated my real player and msn, I think they were kind of "updated on the spot"...okay that didn't make sense. What I meant was they weren't updated in the application folder. So when I delete the icons on my desktop, the applications stop working as well. Is there a way for me to move those applications to the application folder? I tried, but it denied my attempt because "application cannot be modified"...
    5) My computer has a memory of 640 MB, the processor is 867 MHz. But I'm getting a bit frustrated with the current operating system because everything that Apple offers now requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above. I was wondering if my computer run Panther/Tiger and be as fast as it can operate now?
    Sorry, this was a really long post. I will be extremely grateful to anyone who is willing help. Thanks in advance!

    Hi yukinu,
    First of all, Welcome to the  Discussion Forums!
    1) My sound is not working! I remember it working well last night but when I woke it from its sleep today, it doesn't make a sound anymore, and the F4 & F5 that you can use to adjust the sound don't respond either o_O There's nothing plugged in, when I check the sound panel in system preference, it is set to the maximum, and the mute box is unchecked...however they are both greyed.
    What is selected in System Preferences>Sound for your Output? Is it showing "Internal Speakers" and is it selected/highlighted?
    2) My iCal was initially working as well. However when I updated (5 minutes ago), it stopped responding. When I click on the application icon, it jumps in my dock but it doesn't open...
    How did you update? Through Software Updater or through Apple Downloads website?
    3) I also tried to install this application named Atomix Dojam X. I had an older version of it, but I deleted it and wanted to install v.X because the older version ran on Mac OS X 9. However, when I downloaded it to my desktop and ran the setup guide, I cannot change the destination (the default destination is Macintosh HD), and even though it says "installation successful" in the end, it does not appear in my application folder nor anywhere else...
    Sorry, I don't use the software myself, but have you tried going to their website>support and see if they have any install troubleshooting tips?
    4) I was also wondering...when I updated my real player and msn, I think they were kind of "updated on the spot"...okay that didn't make sense. What I meant was they weren't updated in the application folder. So when I delete the icons on my desktop, the applications stop working as well. Is there a way for me to move those applications to the application folder? I tried, but it denied my attempt because "application cannot be modified"...
    I would suggest going to their website, again, and finding the install instructions and follow them for your version of OSX. Not sure what you mean by the "icons on my desktop" that you deleted but I assume you are referring to the downloaded "install" files? How did you know that they weren't "updated" in your applications folder? Did you do a Get Info on the icons for the apps in your Applications folder to check the version after updating?
    5) My computer has a memory of 640 MB, the processor is 867 MHz. But I'm getting a bit frustrated with the current operating system because everything that Apple offers now requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above. I was wondering if my computer run Panther/Tiger and be as fast as it can operate now?
    Your PowerBook G4 867 Mhz 640 MB ram installed is more than adequate to run either Panther or Tiger. But, I would try making sure your Disk is ok first before attempting to upgrade the OS since you appear to be having some problems. They are probably not related to disk corruption but you should boot to your install cd and Repair Disk using Disk Utility on the install cd first to make sure.
    I would try running both, Permissions Repair from your HD and then booting to your install disk and running Repair Disk anyways to see what errors if any you receive. There will undoubtedly be spurious errors running Repair Permissions but if any that cannot be repaired you should note them along with the errors that cannot be repaired with Disk Utility>Repair Disk from your install cd. You should always run Repair Permissions from your Disk Utility on your HD before and after any software installations to have a smoother/successful update/upgrade.

  • After upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite, the volume icon at the top right is greyed out and sound does not work.

    After upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite, the volume icon at the top right is greyed out and sound does not work.

    Interesting bug. I'm cautiously optimistic this will get rid of the weekly annoyance. The difference is that I bought my laptop back in Feb 2015, so it came with Yosemite. I think the issue may have appeared soon after an OS update not long after I got the thing, though. I was using a sudo command in the Terminal, but that is obviously not a fix.
    I wonder if there is a broken .plist file that may be fixed ...?

  • My sound is not working when i play my itunes, my ringers are fine, how do i fix?

    my sound is not working when i play my itunes, my ringers are fine, how do i fix?

    Here's what hardware troubleshooting suggests:
    iPod touch (4th generation): No audio on FaceTime or video recording
    Verify that nothing is blocking the microphone (located on the back next to the main camera).
    If a protective case is used, try removing the device from the case.
    Try turning the device off and back on.
    If this does not help, restore your ipod "as new device" without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt files. Follow this article to do so: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If this does not bring back your microphone, contact Apple to get it serviced.

  • Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
    I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
    Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well.

  • My sound does not work on my computer

    Hey
    I don't know if anyone can help me but my sound is not working on my computer. I went to my system preferences and when I click on output it says that the device has no output controls. I don't know why it is doing this. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

    See:
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/No+sound+in+Firefox
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Video+or+audio+does+not+play
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
    Current Firefox versions use the plugin-container process to run plugins, so you need to check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program or the Plugin Container in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

  • Alerts sounds are not working after upgrading to iOS 7.1.2

    Hi,
    I've noticed that all the alerts sounds are not working anymore after upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.1.2
    I’ve reviewed similar posts regarding the same issue; and it seems this is a common issue in iPhone 4S when upgrade to iOS 7.1.2.
    Apple, please Advise if there anything I can do to resolve the issue especially that my work deepens on the push emails and alerts that requires prompt response.

    I got this issue resolved.
    It caused due to some dirt in the charger slot; such dirt caused the phone to assume as if it is connected to a car kit and that is why it does not produce any sound except the Ringer and the Alarm.
    It has been fixed by cleaning the charger slot by toothbrush! with some
    drops of a cleaner.
    Do not do it by yourself, as it might be a risk; rather, let it to be done by an expert.

  • My Pokerist app sound does not work, only with headphones....can anyone help me? Thank you

    My Pokerist app sound does not work.  It will only work if I have head phones on.  All other sound works, songs, video etc.  I deleted the app, then installed again still no sound.  It is not the app because I also have a IPhone and the sound works on Pokerist.  If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

    - Headphones?
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • [SOLVED] Sound (snd_hda_intel) not working after resume from suspend

    Using the latest kernel 2.6.30.4, On HP2133, whenever I get back from resume, sound is not working.
    Running the following brings back the sound, but that is obviously a hack:
    fuser -k /dev/snd/*
    rmmod snd_hda_intel
    modprobe snd_hda_intel
    /etc/rc.d/alsa start
    I have on my /etc/modprobe/50-sound.conf:
    options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
    alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
    alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
    Here's the exact hardware specification:
    # lspci -nnv|grep Audio
    80:01.0 Audio device [0403]: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) [1106:3288] (rev 10)
    Any idea where to look for this?

    [SOLVED]
    I downgraded to kernel 2.6.29 and the problem is gone.
    Note: I also had X VT problems with 2.6.30.4 (xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call). Those were solved too by downgrading to 2.6.29.
