IMovie '11: No sound on playback but volume on scrubbing

The subject says it all.  I have iMovie '11, I get no sound on playback for audio from any source however I can hear sound if I scrub through the video.  If I export the movie I get sound there too.
I'm running 10.7.x on an iMac.
Too strange!!!

I just found this post and I tried it, and it worked for me. I've been searching for 2 days for a solution to this problem, so out of kindness I am reposting this answer to questions that still are unsolved.
"I FIGURED IT OUT!!! All you have to do is create an event. Go to File and click "New Event". Label it and drag whatever clips you want to preview. They all seem to work as long as they are in separate events."
So create a new event (not project, event). Highlight whatever clips you want to play with and drag them into that new event. Then go back to your project and look for clips from that event, not all iPhoto videos, just that event. You will hear them, and can now continue on.
Amen.

  • No sound during playback (but sound effects are working)

    Was there a bad incremental update in the last 24 hours? Woke up this morning to find that my 2nd Gen Apple TV has gone mute. But only during playback of videos or music. The clicking sound effect during navigation comes through just fine. Tried this over HDMI and the Digital out, with both a receiver and directly to the tv. Also tried it with multiple apps so it isn't app specific. Hope Apple fixes this soon.

    Sorry if I came off a bit testy. I use the Apple TV daily in my work environment for background noise and the issues totally derailed my workflow this morning.
    So, I tried adjusting audio settings for both Dolby Digital and Audio Out. No luck.
    Last resort time. Hardwired (USB cable) to my laptop and restored via iTunes. Success, audio fuctional across all apps. Not the best of solutions because of the time required to restore accounts for the various 3rd party apps on the Apple TV but it worked.
    Guess I will never know what caused the 'no audio" issue though I suspect a bad/failed auto update. As convenient as that new feature is, it doesn't help when things go wrong.
    A final note, beta software is supposed to be buggy, I undertstand. Production stuff isn't. I've been a loyal Apple user for 20+ years now because of their quality control. I've used competing products too and felt very annoyed at the lack of QC (looking at you Google TV). I would love to see quicker addressing of bugs on the Apple TV OS because a bad experience is what drives less-technical users away. It is a real game changer device if Apple were to even attempt to give it the level of support that other products get. Anyways, that's my soapbox moment.

  • Sound during import, but no clip capture or sound on playback,

    There is sound in iMovie 5 from computer when importing video from camera, BUT no clips on shelf and no sound in playback. No wave in extracted audio. Video playback OK, but pale. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Hi saiyed adil, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It appears that your iPhone 5s sometimes produces low sound, but a restart corrects it. 
    It can take some time to isolate and resolve intermittent issues like this one, and I'd recommend going through the steps in this guide the next time it occurs:
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
    All the best,

  • My new Canon HF R400 makes clicking sound on playback. Canon replaced but still clicking sound. Same

    Clicking sound on playback so annoying on most clips that I mute sound which is not the way I want my video to play. When I contacted Canon teck support they replaced but replacement has same problem. Either a terrible coincidence or something I'm doing wong. Please advise.

    Hi starwatcher!
    Thanks for posting.
    Try setting the camcorder on a tripod or a flat stable surface, then turn the Image Stabilizer off in the menu under [Other Settings] > > [Image Stabilizer].
    When you record new video after doing both things above, do you still hear the clicking noise?

  • For 1/11/11 expert day: can hear sounds on headphones but no sound via the internal speakers

    HP Pavilion dv6135nr Notebook internal speakers have stopped working.  I can hear sounds on headphones but no sound via the internal speakers.  A search on HP customer care for my notebook yielded the download recommendation below, even though I had not stated my problem.  However, executing this download did NOT resolve the problem.  Please advise regarding resolution to inoperable speakers.  I do not know if all of my sound and audio settings are correct, but the mute is not on and the volume controls are properly set.  The default device is Conexant High Definition Audio output, per the sound and audio devices properties hardware  tab the device status states "this device is working properly."  Is it possible that a Skype or Foxfire update is in conflict with this device?  If so, how do I resolve this situation?
    Thank you.
    Description: This package contains the driver for the Conexant High Definition Audio Chip.

    System requirements: HP SoftPaq Number SP32646, "Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver for High Definition Audio," (or later) must be installed on the notebook before installing this SoftPaq.

     Re: Fixes issue where the notebook speakers do not work after headphones or earphones are used for a while and then unplugged.
    HOW DO YOU FIX THIS?? I cannot find the correct Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver for High Definition Audio that works with my computer...
    My computer:
    VISTA
    HP Compaq 2230s Notebook PC
    Everytime I use my headphones for more than an hour or two, the **bleep** audio will not play on my notebook's speakers, just through the headphones. Usually restarting a few times resolves the problem, but not this time. If I knew that HP computers sucked this much I would never have spent so much money on this one!!!
    Can you please tell me how to fix this problem once and for all? Thanks!!

I only can record sound using microphone line in. Please help.

    Eric,
    Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
    The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
    I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
    When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
    I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.

  • Sound for phone but vibrate for text

    Hi. I would like to set my iPhone up so that it will make a sound for calls, but only vibrate for text. This is very important to me because I am on call for my job. Thus I would like to be awakened if called, but not for receiving an SMS.
    A similarly useful feature would be to be able to use a different volume ringtone for text than for call (that way I could just set up a very quiet rintone for text).
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    The volume for ringtones for the phone and txt are set with the volume rocker on the outside of the phone. That is the same no matter what. Once solution would be to create a ringtone and reduce the volume of it when you create it. Another solution that I have seen mentioned here for a similar situation was to set the SMS tone to None. That should then allow it just to vibrate if you have vibrate turned on.

  • Can I play sound through IPad but watch the video through TV ?

    I want to play sound through IPad but watch the video through TV  using Apple TV
    Is that possible ?

    On my mac through itunes, I am able to control Apple TV sound through a master and two sub master volumes.
    One being my Apple TV volume (HDTV) , and the other being my mac (internal speakers).
    That being said, it might be possible to on iPAD through itunes (music).

  • My videos have sound...but no image!

    Hi,
    I have a really annoying problem in iMovie 08'... like... when I click on a clip, I don't see the video in the screen(at the right)... it stays blck... like all the time...... in fact there's only one project that I can see on the the screen... all my other projects and all of my clips don't appear on the screen... (like... they are in my events... but when i click on them ... they just don't show up... I can still play them, but there's just the sound...)
    I also have iMovie HD 6... but I dont want to export again all of my videos and start some of my projects all over again...

    I know I'm not that clear... so I took a screen shot

    (in this image, one of my clip is playing...yet there's no image... I'd be able to deal with no sound... but the image is kinda necessary when you do editing...)
    oh and sorry for double posting... it won't let me edit my last message...

  • IMovie exports only sound to camera

    Good evening everybody!
    In the past I successfully exported projects to my camera.
    For the first time I got this problem: iMovie exports the sound, but freezes the first frame of the movie and leaves it at that.
    I tried it in two ways: by "send to camera" and by "show video on camera monitor" and simply pushing the "record" button of the camera.
    When I loaded a different movie and did exactly the same thing, all went well.
    Back to my new film: the same again.
    What's different with my new film?
    Has anybody got an idea? I'd appreciate any help!

    Hello Sir Torsten,
    Glad you got it to work. I really think that Apple never intended for us to make long complex movies...I think they though iMovie would be a fun app to make short little entertaining movies so they didn't carefully investigate all the nuances before releasing it.
    For the most part, iMovie has worked great for most people. Just reading these discussions you can get some idea of the various projects that are being created and it is really remarkable from such a simple program. And, the other fantastic thing to remember is that so many of the problems we encounter DO have solutions or work-arounds!
    BTW, it is now cooler and wetter here, too

    What version of iMovie is this? Where did this media come from? It's probably in a format or codec not supported by your computer.
