Hdmi carries only sound but not people voices

I have an early 2012 macbook air and an hdmi cable with hdmi port to the TV and thunderbolt/mini display end to my mac. When browsing and watching youtube videos, it carries both picture and sound/voice nicely, however, when I play dvd/bluray movies, it only carries picture and sound (I mean by sound, music and effects) and it simply mutes people's voices.
I have been working so hard to find a solution for this bizarre issue with no luck.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated

That is a bit bizarre. Sounds like the sound output is 5.1 surround without the center channel.
Run the Audio Midi Setup program in the Utilities folder located in the Applications directory.
If you only have stero make sure it's set for 2 channel stero in Configure Speakers..

HT204291 Using Azul media player app on my ipad Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies. Any ideas on a fix. I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video. It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

Using Azul media player app on my ipad Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies. Any ideas on a fix. I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video. It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

Here are the steps for AirPlay:
Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home Button to view your recently-used apps.
Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the icon.
Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
Tap the icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
When you do that you will see an Orange screen
Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

Hi @anthony7722 ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control. You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
Here are two links that I believe will help.
Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please try this process.
1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them but do not install them yet
2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
3. restart your notebook
4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
5. restart your notebook
6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver.
You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
I hope this helped.

I am working with ADOBE "Classroom in a Book," with a supplied DVD. I have downloaded all the lessons, and in Lesson 5 I am able to find only (05A) but not 05B, 05C, 05D, and 05E. My disc seems not to have those...only 05A. I need your help?.

QUESTION: I am working with ADOBE 'Classroom in a Book" with the supplied DVD. I have copied all t he Lessons to my hard drive, and have completed Lessons 1-4. However, in LESSON 5, my disc shows me ONLY one of t he 5 examples shown in the book. I see ONLY "05a," BUT not the following which are in the book: 05B, 05C, 05D, and 05E. I need help to work with lesson #5.

See who published the book and contact that web site. There should be a place to download files pertaining to the book.

Rodger,
Thank you for your gracious welcome . . .
and thank you for your swift response . . .
and thank you for your information (and encouragement!).
Yes, I read that too, but searched in vain for the specifity of, say, your direction:
"Go ahead and update to 8.0.2, as it contains the 8.0.1 update."
So I shall!
Again, many thanks.

Firefox Browser Outlook SkyDrive playing m4v file with sound but not video

Firefox Browser Outlook SkyDrive playing the m4v file. I have sound but not the video. Sound and video play ok with IE10.

I'm amazed that each time these type of problems arise we get the same advice time-and-again to go through this exceedingly manual process of due-diligence checks-and-balances to figure out what it is that we have as ad-ons that supposedly now clash with changes that FF have made to the browser.
Everything is provided to FF with the post yet we are expected to check in SafeMode everything that was passed compatible when FF was updated.
It all comes across a bit lazy I have to say - no disrespect intended to some at FF who will no doubt come back to "slap my wrist", telling me not to be "rude", "refrain from using so many ????? together", telling me yet again "the problem is with your plugins" - especially when history shows us that such checks I'm asked to make "after the event" often do not resolve the problem, more so given that the last FF Update validated all of them, switch off those that weren't and checks on them since show that all are the latest up-to-date without any changes being made to them by me . Then the problem gets resolved by someone else on the forum basically beta testing what should have been checked-out thoroughly by FF in the first place.
Sorry to go on a bit of a rant-and-rage B-U-T we are not getting these repeated problems withe other browsers which we are getting more and more frequently with FF.
Never mind. I'll go through this rigmarole of checks yet AGAIN, no doubt then having to put up with the same sequence of threads from the likes of Morbus re the Plugin-container fiasco "Nothing to do with this [whatever we put forward it might be]. Try flash [or this or that or something else]. Uninstall it and reinstall it. Make sure it's up to date too.", like we're a bunch of morans who don't have the dummy sense to check these things out thoroughly before we go asking for help on the FF Forum.
"Let's blame the add-ons that have nothing to do with FF" Nowt has changed on that front since 08/2010.
Still, what can we really expect from a free browser? A browser that works?????
I hate IE --- but at least it isn't failling over with hardware acceleration issues every few updates!!!!!

[Amixer] Invalid Argument - Sound but not levels

\o/
I recently bought a USB Headset. I'm using ALSA without Pulseaudio. The sound is working fine, but I have a problem setting levels etc.
When I open amixer and the default card is set to the headset, the mixer fails to load with
amixer: Mixer default load error: Invalid argument
I have read the whole internets about this. The usb-snd kernel module is loaded properly.
Some intel users have fixed their issue with using mode=generic. But if i'm correct this will disable 7.1 playback ability.
This is the output from

A frickload of kudos to anybody that will either be able to recommend an alternative mixer (without having to install OSS/Pulse) or be able to link or recommend a fix.
Kind regards,

So I just spent another couple of hours battling with alsa.
I went from sound but no mixer, to no sound at all. And then back to having sound again after 4 hours of command mashing. All that after just a weekend in suspend/standby.
The only difference I could detect was that the subdevice on the card changed, but simply defining (and alsa restoring) that one in the ~/.asoundrc did not do the trick.
I also came across a more detailed error with the crashing alsamixer.
/usr/share/alsa/init/default:171: value write error: Invalid argument
/usr/share/alsa/init/default:185: value write error: Invalid argument
Commenting these lines did not fix the error.
Some more outputs:

Hi,
For online videos, perform a clean install Flash Player may help:

For offline videos, please download and install the following program, it will play nearly all video formats:

Airplay only sound but no video

I have iPad Air. AirPlay has suddenly stopped working properly, now only getting sound but no video. How to fix and what is the cause of this problem? Please help!

Hi emak821,

Toshiba RDXV60KB - On playback only sound but no picture

Recently got this DVD recorder, but on playback I am only getting sound but no picture. Struggling to see where I have gone wrong.

Have you tested DVD recorder with several different original DVDs and eventually with recorded program?
If I understand you right you can see the menu and everything else but only video material is not visible, right?

I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hard drive. I have converted some of my AVI movies to mp4 and transferred them to the hard drive, but when I play them through my iPad 2 I can hear the sound but not see the movie. Help???

I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hardrive , i have converted some of my AVI movies to MP4 and loaded them onto the hard drive, when I try and play them through my I pad2 I can hear the sound of the movie but not see the film, somebody please help, what am I doing wrong as I have spent a lot of time converting these movies to be able to travel with my iPad and watch them. Thank you

Unfortunately, the drive is pretty much restricted without hacking it. That is, you can't stream its content via standardized protocols like UPnP, SMB, FTP and the like. This makes you won't be able to access its content from any third-party apps otherwise capable of playing back AVI files from UPnP / SMB / FTP / WebDAV etc. sources.
While this is certainly not a recommendation (I can in no way be held responsible if anything goes wrong): you may want to consider extending the capabilities of the drive by installing the hack: http://www.hackseagatesatellite.com/wordpress/welcome/
It'll "open" the drive for third-party, AVI-capable multimedia apps like GoodPlayer, It's Playing etc. to directly play the files over the network.

ATI Radeon HDMI works in Ubuntu but not Arch

Hi,
is there any reason why HDMI works for my laptop in Ubuntu but not Arch? They are both apparently using the same open source ATI Radeon (not HD) driver.
The card is an HD 4225 (RS880M I think).
Thanks, Jamie Kitson

The driver versions are very similar, 6.13.1 Ubuntu and 6.13.2 for Arch and Xorg are both 1.9.0. I have reported a bug here:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21442

Audigy 2 ZS: Stero Sound, but not device not detect

I'm using an Audigy 2 ZS card, driver version 5.2..442 with Windows XP.
The card produces stereo sound, but nothing in the other speakers in my 5. setup.
When I try to load up the Creative Speaker Settings, I got a 'Speaker Settings' error dialog stating "The audio device supported by this application is not detected."
There are no apparent problems with the device when checking the device manager.
Thanks for any help.

I solved my problem by changing to driver version 5.2.3.00. Creative Applications such as speaker settings load without error messages, and sound is 5., not just stero.

Hdmi carries only sound but not people voices
