Built in mic and isight records video but no audio- what happened?

Hello everyone,
My iMac won't record audio for iMovie. I have done this before; but now tried adjusting settings etc but still nothing. Sound comes out (Garageband, itunes, alerts etc), and sound goes in (Garageband; no problem) but it won't work for iMovie. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi
I would go to the Apple menu (top left corner)
Then down to System preferences
Here select Sound
See if Sound in is set to Line or internal mic.
Yours Bengt W

  • Built in mic and iSight

    ok, so this might not be the place to post this question but here i go anyway. iMacs come with the cool program Photobooth to run the iSight camera through to fiddle around with images.
    Does Mac make program similar to this but for the built in Microphone?

    Or this

    Can't seem to find anything that says it works on Live feeds and can post back to another app so to speak

  • HT203167 I am watching a TV show and I get video but no audio. I'm using HDMI output to my TV monitor.  It worked yesterday just fine

    I downloaded a TV show and am unable to get audio from my pc to the TV monitor using HDMI output.  It worked fine yesterday with the same tv show download.  Video/Audio is ok to my pc and video is getting to tv monitor.  Everything is the same but, can't find the audio. This is my first time doing a iTunes download so any help is appreciated by this rookie.

  • Running CS6 on a Macbook. Can anyone help me figure out how to record audio that is streaming on the Macbook? Under "Audio Hardware," my input choices are "Built in Mic" and "Built in Input." Neither does this.

    Are you using any software to import videos? Did you tried Picasa or you just open your iPhone from My Computer?

  • My mac mini only shows a steady power light and fan noise when powered up. No video or sound and no commumication with wired keyboard or optical mouse. Tried replacing internal battery and resetting PMU/SMC but nothing seemed to happen. Any suggestions?

    You've already done the two things I would have suggested.
    If your Mini has an internal battery then I assume it's a G4. That means you've gotten a lot of good years of service from it, and it's old enough that it's certainly not covered by AppleCare anymore, and it's probably not worth spending money trying to repair it.
    You should be able to tear it apart using instructions from ifixit.com to get the hard drive out, and then put the hard drive into a nice USB or FireWire enclosure (I like the ones from Other World Computing, macsales.com) so you can transfer your data to a replacement Mac.
    I hope someone has another suggestion for you.

  • Recorded video has no audio

    Hi, i have lumia 1020, the problem is that the recorded video has no audio. It worked for the first 2 video i have made . But it doesn't anymore.I have done a factory reset. But it still not working. The sound is not recorded anymore.
    Is there a way to solve this problem.
    Thanks !

    Hi gent123,
    This is for a Lumia 925, right? When did this issue start to happen? Did something happen to your phone prior to this issue? Are you also experiencing the other issues mentioned above, like issues with voice commands and audio note recording? What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    The video audio is captured by the phone's secondary mic, which is located on the top of the phone, beside the headset port. If you have a phone cover that might block the secondary mic, try removing it for a while and see if the audio will be captured when recording videos. Try also to reboot the phone by pressing and holding the volume down + power keys until it vibrates and restarts. 
    Make sure that the phone's software and system apps are updated as well. Check this link for steps on how to verify if the system apps are up-to-date: Nokia Windows Phone 8 App Updates.
    Let us know if this information helped you. 

  • Good Video But Terible Audio

    I have just got a Phillips SPC900NC USB web cam, I have got the iChatUSBCam 2.1 & Macam.0.9.0 software to make it work with iChat.
    I get great video but the audio is very choppy and the spoken words are indistinguishable.
    Can anyone help me to get it right?
    Ive also tried Skype but cant get the video to work, I did get it to work once but again the audio was indistinguishable or not even there when the video was.
    If people can help me on the iChat first as that is what i will be using to talk to my parents.
    Thanks
    Adrian

    HI Adrian,
    The original specs did say
    iSight, Any Firewire DV Ouput Camcorder and Firewire web Cams
    Eccam gave the option of External USB cams
    Most of these are Web cams but the utility works for some camcorders that don't export in DV as well as those that use USB.

  • QT + MPEG-2 plays video but no audio

    I'm trying to play mpeg-2 videos that were created by my video camera. I've got QT 10.0 running on OS X 10.6.4. I found QT didn't recognize .mpg, so I purchased the mpeg-2 playback component. With it installed, I can now view my .mpg videos but they have no sound. What am I doing wrong?
    I'm a apple rookie, be gentle

    Just to document what I've found so far. I tried installing QT 7, the MPEG-2 addition from apple again. It would still play video but no audio. Unfortunately, the test mpeg-2 from apple support DID work, which indicated I must have something wrong with my file. However, this is one of 250+ files I have recorded from my digital camcorder and they play on any number of Windows players without issue.
    I then tried Perian codecs since I found references it would address a similar problem. I tried VCD and MPEG Tools from BurningThumb. I tried mpeg screenclip. I also tried changing my Audio Midi setup to 2ch-16 bit from 2ch-24 bit. All to no avail.
    In the process I found that my .mpg files and .avi files had the same problem. Both played video fine but neither had audio. I then installed VLC and presto! All worked as they were supposed to!
    I still don't know why QT won't play it--it seems like it should.

  • Apple TV video but no audio

  • Quicktime plays video but no audio

    Trying to play Quicktime videos from Prentice Hall website associated with textbook. Browser has up-to-date Quicktime plug-in and when tested there is video and audio. But when video is played from selected website, there is video but no audio. Tested using Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox but results are the same.

    Jacumba,
    Here is the link that the professor provided -
    http://wps.prenhall.com/chet_martin_audiology_11/194/49692/12721280.cw/index.htm l
    The instructor tried on the computer in the classroom that she uses and I also tried it on the computer in my office. ON that website are different QuickTIme videos embedded in the different chapters. Clicking on the QuickTime link (box), the QuickTime logo appears, then the image appears but when Play is pressed, the video plays but there's no evidence of audio. The volume control on the QuickTime movie is at maximum and I have the volume on my computer at maximum, but there's no sound whatsoever. LIke I said, I have the latest QuickTime plug-in and when I test the plug-in, I get video and audio.
    I'm trying to find out an answer for the professor because she uses the website in her course.
    Any suggestions would be most welsom.
