FAQ: How can I play or preview sound (audio)?

(For a video version of this frequently asked question and answer, play this video.)
You can preview audio in several ways. The thing to keep in mind is that pressing the spacebar is not one of these ways.
See the "Preview video and audio" section of After Effects Help for instructions for using RAM preview, playing only audio, and scrubbing audio.

Bad, bad boy! ;-) Well, happens in the vastness that is the internet or this forum in particular. I'm sure it won't be the last time.

  • How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

    How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

    For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA  audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver.  Use something like this:

  • How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBoo

    for my MacBook Air problem adding music intensifier (Panasonic ST-HT1000) to give it an unpleasant sound background that sounds like a whiz, it's not so loud, but it is an unpleasant .. after a short time can get used to, but the fizz does not pass, however, believe that it is a big problem.
    Further I notice that when MacBookAir disconnected from the charger, it remains quieter sound.
    At first thought that the headphone jack (3.5 mm Headphone:
    Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack) or wiere have problem, but tried 3 different cables, but that does change enything, the problem remains.
    When I added iPhonu3GS playing - the background sound were not, then everything is OK!

    There is no way to bring that up unless you have it typed in a document. You can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

  • How can I turn off the sound from the original midi  or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

    How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
    I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

    Dan,
    It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
    Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
    This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
    One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
    Hope that helps

    Hello Bagpus113
    Check out the article below to troubleshooting issues with the sound for music and for videos. One other thing you can try is to convert the songs to a different format

  • Can't play or preview music and movies in Finder window

    I notice I can't play or preview music in the finder window. When I hit "play", the slider moves, but I don't hear any sound. Music is playing fine in iTunes. I also can't preview and play movies in the finder, like .mov files. In addition, I can't play music in a slideshow in iPhoto. It is also mute there. Does anyone know what is wrong? I just got this MacBook and had done a firewire transfer of my application files from my iMac desktop. All the programs seem to be working fine except for this music and video problem. Is there a problem with quicktime?
    Thanks.

    Run Audio MIDI Setup (Utilities folder) and be sure output is set to 44,100Hz 16-bit, and the volume sliders are to the right.

  • How can I play films/games etc on my iphone on my TV?

    How can I play films/games etc on my iphone on my TV? What Wires/cables do I need? I understand it depends on TV but do I need cable for video and also a cable for sound??? Please help, thanking you.

    You need one of the Apple AV Cables:
    Composite: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB129ZA/B
    Component: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB128ZA/B
    Note that with this cable, you can output videos and photo slideshows, but not games, etc. - it doesn't show everything on the screen, only outputs videos and photo slideshows.

  • How can I play video by touching the button on the video thumbnail ?

    I have a table view in which if each cell is touched a video plays.
    Each cell have image of the video cell.imageView.image. And on the image I have a button (UIButton) with play symbol.
    If I touch the play button the corresponding video should be played same like the when cell is touched.
    I have a selector for the play button. But how can I know that particular row is selected by touching the play button. How can I play the video when I touched the button ?
    Thank You

    Check the hardware acceleration mode you have set. Try to use "direct" acceleration as this will choose between GPU and CPU to render and is most compatible. The setting is in the XML file generated for the app:
    <!-- The render mode for the app (either auto, cpu, gpu, or direct). Optional. Default auto -->
    <renderMode>direct</renderMode>
    And no the device is absolutely not guaranteed to record compatible video at all. Browsers go by browser standards and video recording goes via manufacturer hardware and software limits, features and compatibility. It entirely depends on what you're doing with the video and the mode it is recorded in. If the user checks off the record CIF MMS compatible video and records in that it will not be visible to many browsers. Audio is almost always recorded in ultra-light mp3 or aac so that's why you hear it.
    Android allows you to install many different browsers. Did you install any or set any other browser as the alternate default browser? When you run the video from a file manager you may be running an alternate, capable browser for the codec. AIR may use the native built-in browser. Also it may not load the video into a browser for playback at all as I would suspect a video would be mapped to the devices default media player and not a browser at all. Unless you're able to select the video and explicitly tell it to open in a browser I feel you're actually looking at the video in the "Video" app of your device, which will be compatible with the codec.
    A simple way to check browser compatibility is to copy the video to your computer, upload it to a web server and see how it plays on various desktop browsers. If any of them have black video and only play sound, you know it's a codec issue.
