Cant hear audio nor record videos

Just got a new Mac and seem to be missing some features found in my iMovie HD Tiger based Mac.
1. When I wish to import video I usually will play it first and for some reason I cannot hear any sound on my Mac. Why is this? I am using a FireWire based Camcorder and iMovie HD was able to play with sound.
2. Also I want to record a video using my Camcorder and not use up tape space. This could be done easily in iMovie HD. I tried to do this in iMovie 09 but it only recorded like 10 seconds before cutting out. The built in iSight Camera in the MacBook is lousy, so I wont use that instead.

iMove 09 does not play sound on import, but the sound is there when you edit. Apple has never said why they chose to do it this way, but a likely explanation is that iMovie was designed to work with many different camcorders including SDHC card, hard disk, DVD, and DV. Of these DV is the only one where it makes sense to play sound on import since the others import faster or slower than real time, depending on your equipment. So Apple probably decided to make the behavior consistent for all formats. Just a guess. Most DV camcorders have a speaker, so you can still get sound if you need it.

  • Cant hear audio after converting videos for ipod

    After i convert any video i have with itunes, it loses the audio. does anyone know how i can fix this so i can watch videos on my ipod with sound

    QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos in iTunes to iPod format they only show the video and no sound since iTunes (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.

    One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

    but there are other applications besides MPEG Streamclip you can try as well.

    Hi Nik 123,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that it can be frustrating when the sound on your iPhone is not behaving as expected. In this situation I would recommend using the troubleshooting steps provided in the attached article.

    The first thing I would suggest is to run through the guide by Daniel_Potyrala on the link below to completely uninstall and then reinstall the Flash Player Plug-in.

  • No audio when recording video iPhone 6 (4.7in)

    I just got my 6 and love it, but I have noticed that I have ZERO audio when recording video, but rather some feedback.
    I have tried rebooting and powering off/on. Nothing has worked.
    Any help would be very much appreciated. I hope my phone doesn't have an issue.
    Thanks,
    Geoff

    Nevermind, I had the back covered. Silly me to think it used the same microphone on the bottom of the phone..

  • Cant hear audio from dvd imported footage

    I transformed some footage obtained on my camera to a dvd, and im working on it, but i cant hear the audio and when i pass it to the timeline doesnt appear any audio at all, when i view my clips on viewer i can hear the audio but not when working on it. The dvd works fine and seen at dvd player its all ok, the problem is working on final cut, im new but learning quickly and this is getting me on my nerves, please give me a solution.

    Handbrake http://handbrake.fr/?article=download also works well, but I personally like MPStreamclip better.
    I recommend outputting to DV or 100% quality quicktime H.264 so you don't loose any video quality. DV will probably encode a bit faster than quicktime, but will also take up more space.

  • Cant hear audio while capturing

    Hi
    When I capture video & audio, i cant hear the audio from my source. However, the audio is captured and embedded in the clip when i look at it after the capture.
    Do i have to turn on some monitoring function of some sort maybe?
    Im capturing with an Black Magic card via SDI Embedded Audio.
    Maybe someone have a clue.

    We're here all week, try the liver.
    I've always been a believer in monitoring in the signal chain. Granted I don't work much with HDV-- but monitoring what is going into and out of the computer, rather than relying on the computer's built in audio seems to be the way to go. Then you know what's coming off the tape, and what's going back down to the tape.

  • HELP Cant hear Audio !

    I can hear out of the speaker when using speaker for phone calls. I can record a voice memo and play it back through the speaker. I cant hear music through my head phones when I plug them in. But I can hear a phone call through my speaker phone. I cant hear music through the speaker! When I hit the volume up and down on the side, either nothing is displayed or it shows a speaker but no dots underneith indicating that I'm pressing up or down. Again, when I'm on a speaker phone call, I can hit volume up and down on the side and the screen indicates that the volume is going up and down for the speaker. But as soon as I try to play music or a video nothing is displayed, as far as sound goes, and no sound comes out of the speaker.
    Help! I just got my iPhone replaced, two monthes ago. ! AarrrggghhhH!

  • Just Static Instead of Audio When Recording Videos

    Just updated to 4.1 and no dice. Whenever I record videos it does not record audio as well, just static. When I first had the phone it worked fine. I've read other forum posts about it and not found anything useful to attempt. Fairly annoyed that I spend $200 and have to put up with crap like this. I'm taking it to an Apple repair place today to see what they can tell me. Hopefully it won't be that, "It just works," because quite apparently it does not.

    I use a PC for syncing, not sure what you mean by create a new user. I took it to the local Apple Authorized Dealer/Repair place yesterday (the nearest Apple store to me is in Orlando, about an hour's drive) and they informed me that I would most likely have to A: Send it back, B: Take it back to Apple and get a new phone.
    I'm fairly certain it is a software issue though, just from my experience in audio technology. The more I listen to it, the more I realize it's actually hiss and not static. Something like you'd get if your preamp was turned way down on a mic, but your main's were at 100%. You get all that low-end hiss and crap that's normal covered up by the audio, and the audio itself is very faint. It seems like it also might have something to do with the bluetooth setup too.
    I'm still fairly surprised that this issue is not being addressed by Apple directly. With as many PR disasters as they've had with this phone you'd think they would try and head something like this off at the pass. Oh well...

  • Youtube videos wont show I hear audio but no video

    I enherated this iMac I recently updated the software now videos wont show on youtube or on hulu I hear the audio but no video.

    You probably need to update Flash Player.
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Cant hear audio when I scrub

    How to hear audio when I scrub in project library. Cant hear any sound when I scrub. I do when it plays back  I move9

    Scrubbing or 'skimming' as Apple calls it is controlled by a button on the Toolbar in iMovie:
    The button on the left hand side is an audio waveform with a red-line drawn through it. This indicates skimming is turned off. To turn it on you just click it and the skimming feature will return.

  • Cant hear audio on phone

    i get a message thats says this accessory is not made for the iphone and it asks me if i whant to turn on the airplane mode on to reducce audio interferance and then i cant hear the audio on the phone

    The message to turn on Airplane mode comes up when the iPhone detects something attached to the dock connector, and doesn't detect it as being an accessory that is made to the "Works with iPhone" standards. It can also come up when the iPhone detects certain kinds of interference.
    In your case if there is nothing attached to the dock connector, it could be debris such as pocket lint, moisture, corrosion, or the dock connector port on your iPhone has a defect.
    This article suggest being near a magnet may also cause the message to display, such as a case that uses a magnetic closure:

  • Cant hear audio

    cant hear movies or video

    Hi Edward,
    If you cannot hear any audio there are multiple possibilities.
    Either there is no sound at all from the Speakers, and you are getting sound from external speakers or headphones.
    or you are getting no sound what so ever from any of the above devices.
    first check to see if there is any mute button on the top of the keyboard. or if the speaker button at the bottom right of the screen (system tray has a red x to it)
    If your computer has win7
    Click on pearl button, or the start button, in the search field type in troubleshooter and click on find and fix problems.
    a new window control panel will open try to click on Troubleshoot audio play back .
    click next. this should automatically fix any minor problems with audio.
    Else i would need the computer product number or the model to get the link for reinstalling the driver.
    Thanks if you find that the above steps help you to find a solution. Please click on Kudos.
