Can no longer play audio files embedded in a PDF

I can no longer play embedded audio files in PDFs in version 11 for Windows XP (though I could on an older version). The audio will not play on my Mac either. How do I fix this?

I should add that these are mpgs of a television series. They were made with QuickTime Pro 7.6.2 or .3 just before the new iTunes and Snow Leopard came out. I can open them with either QT X or QTPro7 on the Mini and they play fine. I don't know where to point the finger since they play through iTunes fine on the PPC Leopard Mac and not the Intel Snow Leopard Mac. It could be how the new tunes works with the OS but those kind of hooks are harder to find than they were back in the old OS7,8,9 days. I'm not meaning to be an old bloke longing for the old days cause i love the magic of technology.

I can no longer play audio on my iPhone in headphones mode after getting a phone call

I took a phone call the other day while playing audio from my iPhone on on Aux cord in my car, and when the phone call ended audio stopped working. It works when I play it in speaker mode, but if i plug headphones into the iPhone it no longer works. I have tried restarting it multiple times, but it still doesn't work. How do I fix it?

Try a new cable.

Can no longer play .mpg files

I just noticed this. iTunes will not play any .mpg files on my Intel Mini runing SnowLeopard. I don't know if this is confined to video files or not. I have iTunes 9. whatever, it's the latest. The same files play fine in Leopard on my G5 Tower in the same version of iTunes. When I try to watch them in FrontRow (which we all know about by now) it get the error message "Not a recognized file format." Once again I can watch these on the G5 in FrontRow with no trouble. Anybody have any ideas?
I'm really thinking of getting a bunch of used PPC Macs for my home entertainment network, ok i can't blame the poor Intel based models can I, it's just the Snow Leopard droppings all over my house.
Thanks

Applications can no longer play audio after update | VAIO VPCCW21FX

I'll make this as quick, clean, and to the point as possible. Also, please forgive me because I haven't used Arch in over 3 years, so a lot of things are different.
- I am on a Sony VAIO VPCCW21FX.
- I installed using the AUI script (which is absolutely wonderful, I might add).
- I am using Gnome 3 as my desktop environment.
- I can hear system sounds out of my speakers and headphones, but no applications appear to produce sound.
- This started a couple of days ago after a system update.
- ALSA and Pulse seem to be set up properly.
- Alsamixer shows my sound card and allows me to configure output/input.
- PulseAudio Volume Control also shows my card, and allows me to configure output/input.
- Gstreamer and it's dependencies and codecs are installed.
- Mplayer and it's dependencies and codecs are installed.
Here is the output of lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio":

And yes, the CLI speaker test that plays white noise works.
It seems to be a codec issue to me, but I have no idea what codecs would be conflicting with each other. If anyone knows of a remedy, or can point me in a general direction, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

Can no longer play windows media files

I recently upgraded to version 10.6.8 of Mac OS X and I can no longer play embedded Windows Media files using Flip4Mac (version 2.3.8.1) on Safari or FireFox. Any suggestions on a workaround?

You might need to reinstall it, have you tried that?

After upgrading iTunes I can no longer play my songs. It says that "The song ________ could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have NO clue where to look.

After I recently Upgraded iTunes I can no longer play any movies or songs. It says that "The song ______ can no longer be playe because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have no clue where to look as I'm not tech savvy. I did look in previous itunes libraries file and it's empty. Any and all help is appreciated.

The links below illustrate how your iTunes should look if you use default settings in preferences. If you don't use those settings then you have to know what you're doing.
Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13025536 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457605
The above links also illustrate the Media folder and its subfolders. Look for a file in there in the logical structure by folder artist and album. If you're lucky, linking one file will get an offer to link others and it iwll all come together again.
I see you are running OSX 10.5.8 it would help to know which version of iTunes you use now and which one you used before.

I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.

Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component. It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.

I can play audio files in iTunes but I can't play downloaded tv shows or movies. Everytime I try to play them, iTunes stops working and closes. Any information will help.

Is QuickTime installed? If not it might help to install it.
If so is Direct3D Video Acceleration enabled? If so it might help to disable.

HT201066 How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?

Hi,
How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?
With Windows I was using Nero software, which is not available for Mac. Is there any similar app for free for Mac?
Thanks!

Hello ingiorgio
You can import the track into GarageBand and then split the tracks there. Once that it is done you can highlight the ruler section and then share the song to iTunes to get them separated out.

I get an error message: "The file you are trying to play has failed to finish downloading and can no longer play." What

I get an error message for all the Apple tutorial videos: The file you are trying to play has failed to finish downloading and can no longer play." What is wrong and how can I fix it?

This means that you have downloadd the file from the internet, and the file did not download completely so the computer can't play it. To fix this, just re-download the file and make sure it finishes.

Application that plays audio file at double rate

I need to transcribe audio files and need an application that will play audio files at double their rate (and half their rate) so that I can quickly go through audio files and then concentrate on the pertinent portions. Any suggestions of applications for Mac OS X? Free is always good!

Dear Matt,
Thank you for your suggestion. I checked it out. As I am transcribing portions of the files, I would like to just change the playback speed, not the actual file. It seems like, in Audacity, you actually transform the file. I noticed to do this you use "change tempo" to avoid pitch changes. However, by modifying the file, the file becomes longer or shorter and then I cannot reference a particular part of the file by a time (minute:second).
Any ideas of programs that could do this? Or does Audacity do this?

Play audio file in Java

This is very cute example.
I want to do this: In JTextPane I have some audio files (.au) and what I want to do is that vhen I duble clicked to the file that this file will be opened in some program (like CoolEdit). And this program (with file, which is played) I want to insert to my application. If someone know how to do this, pleasse tell.
I know that with applet player can play audio file, but this is not good enough for me:)
Thanks a lot.

You can use some static methods in the Applet class to play AudioClips, but these only play short sound files. Try reading this thread to play long sound files:
