ATV2 Loses Sound or Video

I rented a movie through ATV2 tonight with a house full of kids especially for New Years Eve...a big occasion! The movie streamed ok, and we had perfect picture but no sound. When we watched trailers and other video we had both sound and picture, yet when we went back to the movie we had no sound - very disappointing Apple! The other night I was streaming from my Ipad to ATV2 and we had sound but no picture - go figure! Everything else with ATV2 is fine. Any help would be appreciated.
Thx

As far as streaming from your iPad to your Apple TV is concerned, be aware that many apps do not yet support AirPlay properly. Even though the AirPlay icon appears, and you click it and select your Apple TV, either nothing is streamed or only the audio (no video) is streamed. Try streaming a video from the YouTube app--that should work.

Loss of sound and video playback on ENVY X2

Every so often, more often than I would like, my HP Envy X2 loses sound and video playback capabilities; any ideas anybody? The concept of this machine is great and have had it for the past 9 months but this loss of sound and vision is so unpredictable and frustating...

Hi Brumage,
I saw your post regarding the sound and video issues and I will be happy to help. Do you get any error messages when this happens? Have noticed if it is a particular site like YouTube or program that you are using when the issue occurs or does it occur on all programs? When you restarted the Envy X2 does the issue go away?
I would start by suggesting that you make sure all updates have been installed through HP Support Assistant and Windows Update.
What operating system are you running? What is your product number?

I am using ALSA and Icecat. When I play any html5 audio/video it works, but the next time i click on another audio/video link I lose sound.

I am using Parabola (a fork of archlinux), Icecat 31.4 and ALSA
Icecat and firefox seem to hold onto the soundcard when I click on a new html5 audio/video link in the same tab. The next video/audio element loses sound. If I wait 10 seconds and click back to the start of the audio/video, the audio returns. I often get cpu spikes for icecat when it happens.
I have tried this with both motherboard and usb sound and I get the same problem. I have disabled extensions (addons) in Icecat, deleted profiles, reinstalled the browser and even installed firefox from the AUR and it still occurs.
I have disable gstreamer in about:config and restarted and it still occurs.
My .asoundrc is this:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
All my other audio applications work. I have noticed that if I use pulseaudio it fixes it, but it should work without anyway, like it used to. I think something happened after an update, but I'm not sure.
Any help would be appreciated. I know it's not a big problem, but it's really frustrating and I've had it for ages. I even switched browsers to get away from it.

*nerding out*
I am not an expert in this and if we get stuck I have found a mailing list for the alsa project that can be contacted: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Mailing-lists
Gstreamer is disabled in Firefox as well as the os?
Since you are seeing issues with ogg files and moving video/audio combination I started to dig into file formats {sox http://sox.sourceforge.net/soxformat.html}
For ogg would the file format affect the "raw"?
defaults.pcm.file_format "raw"
Updated libraries
alsa-lib-1.0.6-8.FC3
alsa-utils-1.0.6-3
No no, here:

Video loses sound then pauses

Hello everyone! I've recently encountered a problem in watching videos online. The video works well at first then after a couple of minutes it suddenly loses sound and then it pauses, this occurs randomly until the video is done. no matter which site I go this always happen. If anybody can help me I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Can you try if this still happens with the latest Flash Player beta: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html

All video players on Firefox lose sound and stop playing

Any video player I play will randomly lose sound and a few seconds later stop playing. I've noticed that this happens when I have two or more tabs with video players on them. Having only one tab with a player, be it youtube, jw player, or veever, does not cause any problems. Having two of them out at the same time causes the problem to occur.
I believe this happened around the time I installed winzip and Windows XP Mode onto my computer, but I have since uninstalled XP Mode.
I use an Acer computer, Aspier 4830T-6841, windows 7.

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
[[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

What ISP?

I lose sound after about 20 seconds on video in CS6. It plays fine outside of CS6. Why?

I lose sound after about 20 seconds on video in CS6. It plays fine outside of CS6. Why?

And what does "CS6" refer to exactly? In any case, ask in the product forum of whatever program you are referring to and for the life of it provide more info like system specs, file types used and so on.... "This doesn't work" posts are useless.

Exporting with Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 loses sound.

So... I've been having a hell of a time with the new Adobe creative cloud when it comes to video editing. The drop of .flv format, unable to straight export .H24 formats from after effects, it's a total nightmare. Here's the issue, to export as a .H24, you now have to use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014. The biggest issue, however, is at the end of the export, when you open the video, half of the video's sound is mysteriously GONE. Just gone. If you go back to after effects, look at the file and the audio, the wave forms are there. There's nothing that would make it lose sound. Audio is selected on export... I have no idea what's up. Editing videos for youtube was a snap in previous versions of After Effects, now It's becoming almost impossible.

I think the same problem:
Part of audio missing in mp4 AAC rendered files from Watched Folders
Probably with cached files. Try this: Adobe Media Encoder 2014.2 Part of audio missing in mp4 AAC rendered files - cache problem? - Video Production Stack Exc…

Why do I lose sound when I try to make a dvd from imovie to idvd. The sound is all there in iMovie, but when I make my dvd, I have sound for about 3-4 minutes and then its gone.

I have made a 1 hour 30 minute dvd in IMOVIE. The video and the sound are perfect. However, when I make it into a dvd on IDVD, I lose sound after 3 or 4 minutes. Any Suggestions?

Hey MichiganMan32,
I found an article that looks like it applies to that audio issue you're experiencing. Check out the following troubleshooting steps here:
Resolution
Make sure the audio track has not been muted in the timeline.
Switch to timeline view by clicking the clock button in the iMovie window.
There are three checkboxes on the right side of the iMovie window underneath the sound icon. These checkboxes correspond to the video track and two additional audio tracks. Make sure all three tracks are selected. Any deselected tracks are muted.
If you are using iMovie 3 or later, check the "Edit Volume" option to see if it is selected. If so, make sure the volume of the affected video clips is not set to its lowest level, or try deselecting the option to Edit Volume.
See if the volume in iMovie is set to its lowest setting. Directly under the Preview pane in iMovie is a volume slider. Set this slider to maximum volume.
Make sure the computer's audio is not muted.
Quit and reopen iMovie, then check the clip to see if it now plays with audio.
Check to see if any of the video clips you have imported are in the MPEG-1 format. MPEG-1 clips will lose audiowhen you export them as part of your iMovie project.
Quit and reopen iMovie, then reimport the footage from the camera. Play the newly imported footage and see if you now have audio.
If you are using an analog to DV converter instead of a camera, make sure the audio connections are good between your VCR or other analog device and the converter. Check the documentation that came with your converter for more information.
Check /Library/QuickTime/ and ~/Library/QuickTime/ for any third-party plugins. Remove them if present, log out, and log back in. Check to see if the issue persists. If not, check with the manufacturer of the disabled plugin to see if an update is available. Note: The tilde (~) represents your Home directory.
Note: "Apple Intermediate Codec" and "QuickTimeMPEG2" are Apple components. For more information about a particular plugin, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info. Look at the version string of the Get Info window to see if the plugin developer name is listed.
iMovie is missing audio on import, export, or playback

My IPOD WONT PLAY SOUND ON VIDEOS

i just got an ipod and i can play videos but there is no sound. the videos i want to play are music videos i have downloaded and ren and stimpy videos and meet the barkers tv series. i have clicked convert to ipod in itunes and they convert but after they convert they lose there sound on itunes and when i transfer them to the ipod there is no sound. has anyone else got this problem or have an idea to correct it. please help cuz i have minimal ipod / computer knowledge and i need all the help i can get thanks

i downloaded a few videos and they played fine on
itunes. BUT, they couldnt be added to my ipod. i
followed instructions to convert them for my ipod but
the converted videos dont have any sound. when i put
the converted videos on my ipod, they wont play- they
show up like a song- white background, name of song
and band, and, instead of the album cover, there is a
still frame from the video. is there something wrong
with the videos??? help!!!!
That sometimes happend to me when I converted the videos using Itunes....So, I use this converter instead...
Videora Ipod Coverter
http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
It'a a free program to download and your videos should play fine in your ipod once you use this to covert them.
As for the videos not playing for you, it could be the fact that you coverted them using Itunes, so try the above converter instead and that should work okay. If that still doesn't work for you try getting your settings back to their original state - Go to 'Settings' and then 'reset Settings' and this will put your settings back the way they were once you bought the ipod originally. The videos should definately play in your ipod then.
If you need anymore help, just let me know, I know how annoying it is when the videos won't play properly!!!
Good luck with it!

My iphone 4 microphone won't record sound on video clips and doesn't work with Skype

This is the first time I have used the forum. My iphone4 microphone won't record sound on video clips, and won't work with Skype.

I have checked that I have the latest software. I have restarted phone. I am not sure how to perform the other things you mentioned , restore and reset as new... Would I lose any data by doing these? Thanks for the reply.

If you lose sound for 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 control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

I'm not getting a sound on videos taken on the iPad - any ideas why?

slightly panicking here. Just thought I would play back some videos taken on the iPad, and to my horror, since december, I've not had any sounds on the videos taken on the iPad. Any ideas why? could it be that there is dirt in the mic?

You aren't playing them back with sound muted on the iPad are you?
If you lose sound for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email and other notifications, system sounds have probably been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled in two different ways: either by the side switch (located next to the volume up/down controls) or in the Recent Apps tray. The initial default is via the side switch.
Check the status of Settings > General > Use Side Switch to:. If this is set to Mute, the switch on the side of the iPad will mute system sounds.
If this is set to Lock rotation then the mute system sounds control is in the Recent Apps tray. Double tap the home button and, in the tray which appears at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is on the left. Is it is crossed-out tap on it and mute will be turned off and system sounds will be turned ON.
This Apple Support article explains in more detail how the side switch works.

Can a MacBook (Early 2008) Support both sound and video to 1080p HDTV by Mini-DVI to HDMI cable?

Can a MacBook (Early 2008) Support both sound and video to 1080p HDTV by Mini-DVI to HDMI cable?

The mini dvi on the MacBook will only support video, in order to get audio you'll need to a cable from the sound out port to the sound in port on the TV.

Second user accont loses sound.

I set up a second account for my husband and it loses sound frequently. I login to my account-the sound works, then login to his account -it doesn't. Not the mute/volume. We restart, it's fixed, hour later- off again.
I haven't tested it to see if it works if I completely logout of my account, I just thought of this as I was typing it, but is there a common problem with this? I can't find any settings to adjust, etc.
I'm not technical, but I can follow software step instructions if pointed in the right direction.
Thanks.

There you go. Since I'm the only user, but have test accounts that I rarely log into, I've disabled FUS, finding it a resource hog.
