Can't hear my audio clip when i play back my video. Why?

I recorded an audio file in QuickTime, moved it to iTunes, then imported it into iMovie. Then I dragged it to the Project area, under my video clips but you can't hear it when playing the clip. What am I doing wrong?

Well, in the "System settings" menu I have these options:
Default imput: Built-in microphone Default Output: Built-in output
Built-in input System Output: Built-in output
(In neither of the imput/output menus I see built-in audio.0
In the "Properties For" menu immediately below the "system settings" menu I get the following three options:
Built-in Microphone
Built-in Input
Built-in Output
(No "built-in audio" option either in this case.)This menu is currently set to built-in microphone, and I just found out that if I set it to built-in input, the audio output below appears 'output not supported' and greyed out, and if I set it to built-in output, the audio input below appears not supported and greyed out, whereas the audio output now appears to be supported. How come? It seems that I cannot have both at the same time. Is that normal?
One more thing: I don't know if this is important, but I think I most probably is:Whenever I start Logic Pro in my computer a dialogue box appears warning me that "The previously selected audio interface is no available" and that "The built-in audio inputs and outputs of the computer will be used instead for this session."
Thanks again Caramby!

Same reply.

As im recording videos on Photo Booth, my movements seem late. then when i play back the video, the sound comes in really late. how do i fix this?

theres like a 5 second delay from when i say something to when the sound of my voice actually comes in when i play back movies in photobooth.i tried restarting my computer and even turning on *auto flip new items. when i turn that on the problem is fixed for only one video. when i try to record the next one its back to the delay. is there anyway to trouble shoot this? or do i have to take my mac to the apple store. to top it all off ive only had my computer for 5 days. help please !!!!

I had the same problem since my moutain lion update, too.
I fixed it in the following way.
-Search for utilities on the HELP option on the top taskbar
- Go to utilities and open your audio-midi-setup.
- check your input and output properties
- Change input and output 44100khz and 16-BIT for both.(these are the most common properties)
my sound and video are not ouf sync in photo booth anymore.
let me know if it works for you!
cheers

Since nobody here can possibly know what is included in "majority suggestions posted for this problem" then your next step would be a trip to an Apple Store and ask for their help.

How do you allow an audio clip to keep playing after a video clip fades out at the end of an iMovie? I want the audio clip to fade out later... this used to be easy in an older version of iMovie.

I just updated to iMovie 11. I want the final music to play beyond the last video clip and fade out. How do I do this? Do I need to import a black screen?

Yes, I've done this, but I can't figure out how to get the audio to fade. I think I need to explain further. This is really a simple movie made from multiple photo stills from my son's school. There are cross fade transition betwee the stills, and some titiles that cross fade too. So there is not actual video. Thus everything shows only in the project library, where I dragged in the photo stills to import them. There is nothing in the event (or is in the clip) window in the bottom. I can't figure out how to get the volume lines to show for the audio clip in the project library as they did in the old version of iMovie so I could drag them up or down.

My iMovie is skipping like crazy when I try to edit and then goes to a black screen and you can only hear the audio!?!? What's happening??

I use iMovie almost everyday for Youtube videos. I have nothing in my imovie except the 5 clips that I'm editing now. I have all my media on an external hard drive and delete everything after I'm done with ( I empty all trash cans). My iMovie is now skipping when I try to edit and then the clips just go to a black screen and I can only hear the audio, this has been going on for a week and I don't know what to do?!? Any help?

Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller
-- Those links are currently down for maintenance but should available shortly.

I am editing a clip but it won't show in the screen, I can only hear the audio. any suggestion?

I am editing a clip but it won't show in the screen, I can only hear the audio. any suggestion? The clip is visible in the timeline but when I play it I can only hear the audio and no images.

Hey, I'm having the exact same problem.
I just got my Macbook Pro and I tried to partition/install windows xp the first day I got it. After successfully partitioning my HD, the 50GB partition didn't show up while trying to install the windows platform.
To be a bit more specific, it doesn't even show up in my startup disk in the system preferences menu (if that's any help?)
So after about a week of abandoning my Macbook and going back to my PC I went to the Apple store and someone from the genius bar just told me to reformat the entire thing...so that's what I did and I'm still having the same problem.
Any advice Lyssa?

I can't hear any audio in imported clips!

The video clips were originally MPEG, then I converted them to MOV (at least I think) in QuickTime Pro. When I imported the movies into iMovie, I can't hear any audio. Please help! Thanks so much.

If the source files were "muxed" (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VOB, etc.), then this is normal. QT applications (like QT Pro, iTunes, iMovie '06, GarageBand, etc.) cannot convert "muxed" formats and retain audio. In this case use an MPEG-based, third-party utility like MPEG Streamclip (free), FFmpegX (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), etc. for your conversions. (NOTE: MPEG Streamclip requires the QT MPEG-2 Playback component be installed for the conversion of MPEG-2 content.)

Recording Audio...Can't hear over other tracks when recording!!

Hello again and thanks for the help. So why, when I'm recording audio, a guitar for example, is the signal so low I can barely hear it above the other tracks. Then, all of a sudden, when I play back what I recorded it almost knocks me back off my seat it's so loud. How do I turn up a track i'm recording enabled track so that I can hear better what's being recorded? This is a problem I've run into myself and when I'm recording others, like a vocalist. I need some way to turn up a "cue" send level even if it's coming out the same monitors that the rest of the mix/track/song is.
Any tips would be much appreciated. THANKS AGAIN

I understand that this is directly related to my monitoring capability but am assuming there's some way, INSIDE of Logic, that this level adjustment can be made. Why, when recording, can you barely hear a signal and then when a track is automatically set to 0.0 dB it is much much louder. Why the difference.
I, too, have a MOTU 828mkII. Admittedly not as good with it as I should be, I need to work more with my monitor mix but this situation seems to often be used to dodge my real question ^ up above. Any tips or tricks are much appreciated so that's cool, but see if you can at least shed some light on what I'm confused about up there^^^^^^
I DO NOT want to use headphones to record this guitar. Feels more natural for me to record directly into Input 1 of the 828 and hear all the tracks coming out of my monitor while I'm recording the guitar over it. Again, why so quiet when recording and why, then, so loud when no level adjustments have been made when playing back the audio. Again, no level adjustments made on anything and all of a sudden the most recently recording track is louder relative to all others
thanks

Hey ppl,my macbook is not booting and by that i mean u can hear the audio wave when its starting up,the screen goes white and then after a while there's a folder with a question mark in the middle of the screen...anyone,any ideea?!?

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the hard drive data is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the optical drive.
Once it has finished booting and you are at the Install screen launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then select the First Aid Tab run Repair Disk and if that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

Udio to my clip. When I bring it over it highlights the entire clip as opposed to adding it above or below. Then I can't edit the audio clip. HELP!!

Just discovered this nifty little bug myself today. Boy, Leopard is really bug city, I'm definitely regretting the upgrade. I was glad to find the 'show in mailbox' trick, although then once I went to re-send the message, it duplicated it for some reason and sent it twice, so now my business contact thinks I'm a moron because I sent him this super large attachment TWICE thanks to moronic Mail.app.
Another interesting thing though, is that after finding the email via 'show in mailbox' and opening it, it actually displayed the MP3 attachment as the old Tiger quicktime player (w/progress bar) as opposed to when I first composed the message and it would only display it as an icon. I thought they had just removed that feature for some reason, but nope! Another bug!

Can't Hear iMovie Audio On Any Of My Projects

Firstly, I tried playing the iTunes stored in the 'Audio' Tab. I click the play button to hear the iTune and the button turns blue yet there is no sound. However, I can hear the clicks of the mouse and other such sounds. I am able to play iTunes directly from the iTunes program, however, it will not play in my iMovie. When I play back my project, there is no audio from the project. I have followed the following suggestions from the support pages included with the software as follows:
If you can't hear some or all of the audio in your movie, here are some things you can check:
• Make sure the volume on your computer is turned up. Use the speaker controls on your keyboard or the volume slider in the menu bar.
• Use the volume slider under the iMovie monitor to increase the movie volume.
• Make sure the audio checkbox is checked for the audio track you want to hear. The audio checkbox is to the right of each track in the timeline viewer.
• If the audio checkbox is selected, then choose View > Show Clip Volume Levels and see if the audio levels for the tracks are set to a level that can be heard.
I did all the Above, Yet I get no audio from my projects! I can adjust the volume levels when I view 'show audio levels' etc.., the wave forms are there, I just don't get any audio output. Thanks for any help!
Mac Dual 2.7GH Mac OS X (10.4.4) Using EyeTV200

Update: I used stored video footage I originally used to import into iMovie to create my project. I simply redid the import and still no audio; therefore, there appears to be something with the iMovie software. Do I need an update, how do I get the update or how can I repair it without losing the projects I already created? I'm at a loss here. All audio boxes are checked, etc..
Now, for no apparent reason as I was writing this, I re-opened the project for the enth time and it started to work. What the heck is going on with this softare? Previously I had force quite my eyeTV in the event the audio was being used for this, etc.. All of a sudden it just started working, however, now I have to see if it continues to work and that this fix is not just temporary

Can only hear 1 audio track?

I,m new to Elements 10 and have just started editing. I just dragged a clip onto my timeline but can only hear one audio channel. I know there are two tracks, how can I mix both through?
thanks. Darrell

Hi Steve, thanks for your help. but this has really got me beat. When I play the track straight off my computer I hear all audio tracks. But then I “get media” bring the clip in and listen off the elements timeline – I only hear track one???
So my computer must be fine?
When you say “Can I see both right and left channel in the wave form? Its hard to tell – am I meant to be looking at the “green strip “ on the timeline? Its so very small. - I see a yellow line and a grey line underneath? what am I looking at. Its very frustrating because I am trying to edit a friends concert and the music is on track one – but the atmos and applause is on the other 3 tracks – but all I can hear is the music
any suggestions?
cheers mate

Netflix LA - I can't hear spanish audio in some movies

Since the last update, days ago, I can't hear the Spanish language in some of the Netflix Latin America movies, but if I play the same movie from a computer, I can hear the audio in Spanish.
This is a problem with the last firmware of AppleTV.
Please help me.
