Music Videos - Play, but no sound. HELP?

I've converted the music videos for the ipod nano 3rd gen. and they play.. But with no sound on the ipod and in the library. When trying to play it in the library after converting, the little icon that shows a speaker doesn't have the 'sound waves' beside like it usually does.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've looked through the forums for help and some people have suggested downloading something? I don't want to download random programs that I might not have to.
Thanks

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.

Videos play but no sound on iPod

I have a 2005 30gb iPod classic and i have converted the videos in iTunes and they are on my iPod. They will play but there is no sounds playing while the video does. If you can help just tell me what to do. Thanks

Hi Daniel,
It sounds like you have a muxed video.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1721 provides more details about muxed files, along with steps to verify the issue described.
These threads discuss the same issue and suggest 3rd-party applications that can convert the files:

Videos playing but no sound

My iTunes recently updated to the newest version and since that time, I have been unable to hear videos using iTunes. That includes TV & Movie samples & Music videos. In addition, TV shows and movies that I have purchased I am unable to hear on my computer. I can see them playing but just no sound. However, Music samples and downloads are playing just fine.

I solved the problem by uninstalling Quick Time 7.4 and reinstalling Quick Time 7.3.1
This was a solution mentioned in an earlier thread...They had the link for 7.3.1 (I could not locate it without the link)
But after installing the older version, my iTunes works fine...However, I think there was a mention though that movie rentals wouldn't work on 7.3.1
Fine with me...I don't have any plans to rent movies on iTunes

Video playing with no sound in iTunes, playing with sound on iPod

When I try to watch my videos on iTunes the video plays but the sound does not, it even happens on videos that I bought from the music store. The sound for my songs works just fine, just not for video. They work when I play it them on my iPod, too. Any ideas?

i updated to 10.4.7 and it worked.

I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

Ipod classic 160gb showing music playing but no sound with headphone headunit aux cable or hardwired car stereo

last week i had my ipod classic 160gb plugged into my ford falcon fg xr6 ipod connectivity hardwire for the car stereo as i have had for over a year now since i only ever take it out to update music and software. i unplugged it and was using an iphone 5 in the meantime for about 2 hours while my ipod classic was updating. when i connected my ipod classic the connection is fine i can browse files and songs like normal but no sound comes out of the speakers. i thought my car was stuffed but i have tried it on alpine pioneer kenwood aftermarket units through an ipod cable which i have done hundreds of times in the truck i drive as well as tryin to connect headphones as well as an aux cable to play through the speakers all to no avail. the ipod works fine i can scroll throught lists the seconds and minutes of the song or video roll on by so it is playing but no sound is being produced.
if anyone could help me with this ASAP it would be greatly appreciated and i would be one grateful man to have my music back. thank you in advance

Hello Brutl6,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod classic. You have gone through some really good steps to isolate the issue. I recommend continuing with the steps in the following article to further isolate and troubleshoot the issue of no audio when connected to headphone or speakers:

When using Firefox certain videos play but the image is green and distorted.. help?

Firefox 3.6.8 and 3.5 (I downgraded to see if that would solve the issue)
Windows 7
Intel Core i5
Flash Player: WIN 10,1,53,64
When using Firefox certain videos play but the image is green and distorted. The image turns into lines and sometimes it half of the screen of the video. Examples are streaming MLB.tv video and some vimeo videos. The odd thing is that it isn’t all Vimeo videos. Is this a flash issue?
The issue does not happen with Internet Explorer which leads me to believe this is an issue with Firefox. I downgraded to 3.5 and the issue still persists.

Video plays but no audio. Help!

I have a 2011 MacBook Air with the proper configurations and Mountain Lion. I am trying to take an online course. The video plays but no audio. I have tried all the suggested fixes, but nothing works. Everything else works on my computer with no problem. I need help fast. Any ideas or known issues?

Sorry, I read the forum rules . Thanks for the reply, but I haven't actually updated the Nvidia drivers in a while. Right now they are on 311.06. I keep them at the stock clock speed as well. Also have a slightly overclocked i5 2500k. but that never effected Adobe products before.
I wonder, does VLC Player at all affect clip playback? I think I saw there little traffic cone.
Yup. Is PP CC using VLC instead of Quicktime? And/or would that have an effect on playback? Also how would I correct that? I imagine uninstalling VLC would.
Well, I uninstalled VLC, and now the Quicktime logo shows up just before the thumbnail loads instead of the VLC logo. I'm gonna assume that means that PPCC is using quicktime, but I STILL get no video in preview playback!
Starting to get frustrated.

Just purchased a new iPad and the sound works on Siri, music, videos, alarms, but on games it will not. Is this a preference or perhaps a defective unit.

Double-click the Home button and swipe the Task Bar (at bottom) to the right. Check volume and mute settings.

Music videos play audio only

i have a bunch of music videos i downloaded from youtube using PodTube. the videos are in .mp4 format that are converted for the ipod. when i sync them to the iphone they appear in the music video section, but when i play them i get a blank screen but it plays the full audio. my question is, how do i get the video to play (along w/ the audio)?
the video dimensions are 320x240 and the codec is MPEG-4.

found a temporary solution, but it still strange. for each clip I did "get info" and changed the media type from "video clip" to "films". Now they play just fine.
