IN SERIOUS NEED OF HELP!  Cannot hear my sound in iMovie!

Hi everyone,
I have been trying to crack this problem for weeks now and I must figure it out tonight because soon my project will be due.
I made a film in iMovie, I think version 4, and imported it into iMovie HD with no problems, and it updated it to work with the new version, and everything seemed to go smoothly EXCEPT, I cannot hear any of my sound--even though it is all right there. There's a soundtrack, and then there's the audio clips from the clips, many of them extracted, all of them locked into place, exactly where they should be, and yet when I play the movie I hear none of this sound.
I repeat, all of the sound is in place. I just can't hear it. You can see the waveforms or whatever of each sound clip or song. The boxes are checked to the right of the audio lines. The volume is turned up.
I thought maybe there was a problem with them anyway, for some reason, so I trashed the first song and them imported a new one from iTunes and it imported just fine, showed up on the timeline, and there's still no sound!
PLEASE HELP!!!!

I am having the same problem! I had sound this morning, now (after a power outage) I have no sound in iMovie...I have sound in all other applications, but not iMovie. I have re-started several times and dumped the imovie pref files from the library, but still have no sound. Very strange. Please help! I also have movies due soon!
Thanks

    Did you already reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, try to set it up as new device, explained here:

  • I cannot hear any sound from my ipad

    I cannot hear any sound in my ipad, no music no vedios and even the keys sound!!!! I need to know what is the solution???

    1. If you have no sound at all, even in the Music App, try rebooting the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    2. Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost but you will have to enter all of the device settings again.
    3. If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

    4. If you still have no sound at all - try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

  • I cannot hear any sound on my laptop DV6 1030 us even though all my icons show that l should

    So, today just cannot hear a sound on it, all the icons are just as previous, they show l should, but no! I put the headphones in the sockets, nothing, when l put them in the mic socket, there l can hear just the noise that i insert something there. I can see the volume cursor going up down when l move it, but l don't hear anything... and nothing it's turned off.
     Can this be a virus?

    The internal speakers started working after uninstalling the sound drivers and restarted the machine, after which the system reinstalled the High Definition Audio Device driver, which was hitherto being used for the Headset speakers.
    Today, the external speakers (the ones used by the headset) stopped working. Both the internal and external speakers
    have the same High Definition Audio Device driver. Both are showing "device is working properly", but when the headset is plugged into the two jacks (in and out), the sound does not come from the headset earpiece, but from the internal speakers (ie the loudspeakers).
    Any solution for this ? 
    My wife's machine has been having a similar, though not identical problem, since the last couple of weeks. In her
    case, when the headset is plugged in, there is no sound at all, neither from the headset speakers, nor from the internal speakers. 
    Just to eliminate the possibility of the headsets malfunctioning, I tried using another headset, but with the same
    results as above.
    All these audio problems started a couple of weeks ago, after a Windows overnight update, as detailed in my opening
    post under this thread.

  • There's a problem with the sound on my laptop. i cannot hear the sound although i can see it working

    HP G62
    Cannot hear audio on this laptop. The volume is on and working but I cannot hear the sound.

    Please do a BIOS update and this may fix the issue, if possible do a Audio driver update too.
    If you wanna know how to do the same, please go to HP.com- Support & Drivers- Enter product number - Choose OS - Select BIOS - Download and install. Make sure that the Charger is connected to the Computer.

  • When i plug the earphone in my mini ipad i cannot hear the sound in my left ear

    when i plug the earphone to my mini ipad, i cannot hear any sound in my left ear

    - Do the heradphones work OK in other devices? Do other headpohones work OK in the iPad?
    - Make sue the plug is fully inserted in the jack
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPad. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPad.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for for not cost if under warraty (which it should be) and not abused.

  • In serious need of help. Can't uninstall Coldfusion 8

    I installed coldfusion 8. I set myself up with an administrator account. I'm on an Acer windows vista 32 bit computer. All the updates for windows are installed. When I try to uninstall CF8 it tells me that I don't have enough access....I'M THE ADMIN!! Two questions: WHY is it doing this and HOW do I fix this? I have the CFMX Application Development book (6) and MX Studio. So I thought I'd get back into it. I really need some help here.

    On Windows Vista you never have full administrator rights. Even though you have an administrator account, only the user named Administrator has full rights and ownership over the system (kind of like the root account on Linux). However, you can bipass this, by turning off the UAC (User Account Control) witch gives you full access to the system. To do this, go to the Control Panel and switch to Classic View. Go to the User Accounts section and click on "Turn User Account Control on or off". Uncheck the Use User Account Control checkbox and click ok. After rebooting your system, you should have full access. I recommend turning UAC back on after you solve your problem (I hope it solves the problem), but it's up to you. Please let me know if this does the trick.

  • In serious need of help for huge Premiere Pro Picture glitch. Confounded beyond belief.

    Gents and ladies, I have been at this for two days and am in desperate need of help. Right now my editing in Premiere Pro is completely stalled due to a bizzare picture glitch. I am 100% stuck and unable to edit.
    When I add a picture to my bin, it's ok. Then I add a second and it seems fine. But any and all pictures I add after that show up as the first picture. Never mind that the name of the file appears correct.
    The picture itself, both the thumbnail and the picture in the timeline, etc. are just the first picture.
    I have rebooted,restarted, started new projects with new settings, cleared the Premiere Pro cache... NOTHING works.
    Video is not a problem. Only pictures. And I am now dead in the water as a result.
    Look at this screenshot. See how the other than the second picture they are all the same? Well, they shouldn't be. But they are. And I am stuck and unable to edit at all as a result.
    WTH is happening here?
    I have Premiere Pro 5 on a PC from Adobe Production Premium.
    One issue I have had recently is in the middle of editing Premiere Pro will start conforming video that has already been conformed prior.
    Begging for help here.

    I guess I should expect a snarky answer from someone named "Snarky McSnarkster." You are being quite rude. It is not helpful to tell someone to fix a glitch by buying new software. That is not a solution. I could just uninstall and re-install, but I am not going to risk losing all of my current projects if something goes wrong. That is like a thermonuclear option. And spending a grand on new software is insane when I don't need it. The software has been fantastic since I bought it. But glitches happen and so I have been in this forum before and always found a solution via some helpful experts.
    It is also absurd to call me disinterested when I have engaged with everyone here and answered all of their questions. Just because I have tried most of what has been suggested and explained as such does not make me the bad guy.
    As for Ann Bens' question: We have seen this issue in the past and re-save was the solution. Are these images RGB?
    Yes, most are RGB. Some I have tried are CMYK. I have tried jpegs, tiffs, bitmaps, png. I am completely clueless as to how this is happening.
    I am about to try opening Photoshop, opening a bunch of pictures and savings them to a new HD, then starting a brand new project.
    For those who have made suggestions, thank you.

  • Cannot hear any sound

    My repo wirless sound system is installed correctly but I cannot hear sound in my headphone.

    Hi Myway1,
    Technical Preview should work with the same devices and programs that work with Windows 8.1. Make sure you get an appropriate driver for your device.
    Please check if you can see this device is installed in device manager.
    You can give us the brand of your device, I would help to check if there are suitable driver for current OS.

  • Cannot hear any sound from WMP, youtube, or any other videos

    I use a Vista SP2 HP Pavilion dv6 laptop.  Yesterday suddenly, all sound died on me.  The previous day, I had downloaded flash videos from a website called www.auditchannel.tv (this is a website run by the Institute of Internal Auditors, a
    global organisation), and was able to hear the sound.  I muted the speaker at that time.  Yesterday, I tried to listen to the same flash videos after unmuting the speaker, but could not hear any sound.  Tried playing videos on Youtube, other
    videos that I had downloaded earlier, but even there no sound was audible.  Then tried playing my mp3 files on windows media player but got the error message saying "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. For additional
    assistance, click Web Help."
    I've tried everything listed on Microsoft Support sites.  This includes:
    i) going to Device manager and ensuring that all the sound devices are showing as working correctly, and all related drivers are uptodate
    ii) downloading Microsoft Fixit exe files for AudioPlayback and WinMediaPlayer, running the exe files, which reinstalled WMP...
    but the problem was not resolved !
    Would appreciate your help to fix this issue.
    One more point - Day before yesterday night, some automatic updates were downloaded by Windows Update overnight, and when I woke up my machine the following morning, I noticed that it had actually shut down and restarted.  But it seemed that the auto
    update files had not been fully installed.  So, yesterday night, I ran the Windows Update manually, and installed all the pending updates fully.  Not sure if this sound problem could have been caused by this event - ie. partial installation, then
    running Windows Update again ??  The auto updates were the following: 
    Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista
    Security Updates for Windows Vista...various
    Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - December 2013
    Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 for Windows Vista
    ZTEMT Corporation - Bus Controllers and Ports - ZTE...various
    Synaptics - Input - Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad
    Definition Update for Windows Defender

    The internal speakers started working after uninstalling the sound drivers and restarted the machine, after which the system reinstalled the High Definition Audio Device driver, which was hitherto being used for the Headset speakers.
    Today, the external speakers (the ones used by the headset) stopped working. Both the internal and external speakers
    have the same High Definition Audio Device driver. Both are showing "device is working properly", but when the headset is plugged into the two jacks (in and out), the sound does not come from the headset earpiece, but from the internal speakers (ie the loudspeakers).
