My iMovie has no sound in new imports.

I have imported home made dvd's of piano recitals into iMovie.  There is no sound.
I used iMovie '08 and also '11.  I imported the dvd's thru HandBrake.  It has worked for
years - but now - no sound.  I have called Apple support.  I have used my local Cafe Mac technicians. 
Any ideas out there?
My OS is 10.7.5

First:  We did switch to MPEGStreamClip with the same result - No sound in iMovie. 
Second:  Thanks for your recommendation of MPEGStreamClip over HandBrake.  However, HandBrake has been completely satisfactory for the last 5 years.  Just not this time.  I think the problem is not HB but something Apple.  My local Cafe Mac techs say they have seen the no sound situation before and have been able to correct it by using an earlier version of iMovie.  However, I did use iMovie '08.  An upgrade to iMovie '11 didn't help. 
Thanks for replying to my inquiry.

  • Clip imported into iMovie has no sound

    I have recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion (actually had to have a fresh OS Lion install at Apple Store and restore from Time Machine).  I have imported three clips from my Sony DCR DVD-201 camcorder but they have no sound.  The clips play fine, except for the lack of sound.  Wondering if I should go into the Movie folder and delete the events and try to import again.  Found a few posts about this problem on the web, but no apparent solutions (except deleting iMovie and reinstalling and then not updating with the latest update).  Wondering if the experts on this thread have any ideas.
    Using an iMac (late 2010) running Lion (10.7.4), and iMovie 11 (9.0.6).
    Thanks.

  • Muffled sound from new imported CD

    It started with cds with small scratches on them that were poor quality. Now even the brand new cds that get imported have parts of the song that are distorted. Its not all through the song , just sertain bits.

    Are you using AAC or MP3? And at what bit rate?
    Also, try burning a CD using a different codec like WMP or LAME. Then add folder to iTunes. Do you get the same result?

  • MTS file has no sound when importing to AE

    I have 2 computers.
    On computer 1, I import a MTS file and it has sound. All good.
    On Computer 2., iimport the same MTF file and it has no sound.
    How come?
    Both machines have CS6. Windows 7 and as already mentioned, same MTS file ( coming from Panasoic Camcorder)
    Thank you

    here are my answers to the questions (btw - thank you very much for helping me here)
    - Absolutely correct. The "working" machine shows the wave audio things when I press LL and the "not-working" machine does not.
    - No, the "non-working" machine does not give the option to enable/disable the audio (under Speaker icon).under the Speaker icon, its just empty.
    - When I import the video on the "non-working" machine, no matter where, it has no sound (footage panel, composition panel, ... ). but when I import other videos on this "non working" machin, it DOES work and it CAN import audio just the way it should be. It is just MTS files can not be imported with Audio on this "non working" machine.
    -I tried with brand new project, same thing. not working audio

  • Brand new iMac 27 has no sound

    A buddy just got a brand new iMac 27, out the box last night. It has no sound.
    He went to Systems Preferences and the Sound page provides no solution. Nothing can be clicked.
    I know the solution is probably insanely simple, but cannot figure it out.
    Help please.

    The simple solution is take it back to Apple and ask them to fix it.

  • I just bought 15' Mac book pro. as i work a lot on Garageband. I even downloaded all the drummers and loops to update the new Garageband 10.0.1 now my problem is that all my past work which i did on older version on GB, has missing sounds in it.

    now my problem is that all my past work which i did on older version on GB, has missing sounds in it. so here are my questions
    1. DO i have to install JAMPACKS on my new Macbook pro?
    2. Are JAMPACKS still compatable with the new GB?
    3. There is an UPDATE on the new GB on Appstore and once i click it, it goes to billing no detail is provided what this update is for so help!
    thanks

    Do you still have your old Mac?
    How did you migrate from the old Mac to the new Mac? Did you transfer your old software and documents using Setup Assistant? Then your old GarageBand '11 version should have been migrated, and all your instruments.
    if you did  not migrate GarageBand '11, copy your old Instruments Library and Loop Library over from the old mac. Copy the following folders to a thumbsdrive and merge the missing dontents into the corresponding folders on your new mac:  (from the system library - the top level library folder on your Macintosh HD):
    /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/
    And if you would like to continue to use GarageBand '11 for access to missing features, copy also /Applications/GarageBand over, but to a subfolder of Applications. I recommend, to install the old GarageBand as well. It can be used in parallel to GB 10.0, and will come in handy, if your old projects are having problems.

    The JamPacks are nice to have, a terrific collection of instruments and loops, but if you did not have them previously, that will not help with your missing instruments. You can instll them by buying Mainstage 3. They work well with GarageBand 10.0

  • No sound on mpg imported to iMovie 06

    Hello,
    I have a 2 minute mpg that I would like to edit then upload to a website. I have imported it to iMovie. The sound is gone. Is there something Im missing,
    Or is this a bug in iMovie 06?
    Is there any other way to edit this?
    Thanks

    iMovie does not work with muxed MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 clips (and that's what you're trying to do)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42996
    You'll need:
    MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1 (free) and the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple).

  • On my new iMac, mail has no sound after waking from sleep.  If I select do not wake for network access in general preferences, the problem does not occur.  Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

    Same here on an older iMac since Lion. Thanks for the uncheck wake for network access tip though, it doesn't do it either in that case, I will leave it that way.

    To my knowledge the apple ID you registered your new mac to received all the included apps.  Try using that apple ID and see if it works.

  • I previously made an iMovie project, but with the new version of iMovie (10.0.1) it does not have the option to import. How do I retrieve my old iMovie project?

    I previously made an iMovie project, but with the new version of iMovie (10.0.1) I cannot import the project. How do I retrieve and import my old iMovie project?

    You have to upgrade your iMovie 9 projects from iMovie 10 before you can use them.  See:

    I have video files on my desktop that i want to put into the new imovie 10.  I click on import and try to click on desktop but it wont let me.  Thanks for any help you can give!

    Are you in your user account?
    In the Import window you'll see a Desktop folder at the root level of our drive. You don't want that one.
    You want the one in your the folder for your user account.

  • Recovered data to new hard drive, imovie has lost locations- how to repoint

    Hi,
    My external hard disk recently failed that has all of my video files on. In iMovie08 i had built many projects with the project files on my laptop drive, but the source videos in the external drive.
    I have recovered all the data from a backup drive to a new replacement hard drive. However even though i have given the new drive the same drive name, imovie has lost all of the video - so all of the projects are broken, and edit "reveal in finder" fails to locate them. How do i repoint the project events to the new hard disk hence salvaging all of my project work?
    Cheers,
    Russ

    Some easy things to try:
    iMovie will be looking in the iMovie Events folder in the root directory on your external drive. Is that where your Events are?
    More advanced things to try:
    You will need to have your Events in the exact same location (and path) that they were before. You can determine what iMovie thinks these should be by opening the Project File (.RCPROJECT) with a text editor such as BBEDIT that handles hexadecimal well.

  • Brand new Nano 7th gen has no sound!

    Brand new Nano 7th gen has no sound. I've tried 3 different headphones, turned volume up, watched the bar indicate the song is on play, cannot find a mute switch (or indicator on screen) and can't understand why I can't hear music. Can there be an earphone jack problem on a brand new Nano? Help please!

    Are the headphones plugged all the way in? Does the FM radio work?

  • The new 338S0987 chip from cirrus logic has inferior sound quality to the old cs42L61 chip.  Can the 338S0987 chip be improved?

    The new 338S0987 chip from cirrus logic, used in the new 4s has inferior sound quality to the old cs42L61 chip found in the 4 and 3G.  Can the 338S0987 chip be improved?
    The new chip is very compressed and has hissing artifacts.  It sacrifices sound quality for reduced energy consumption.  This is a problem for me because I am building a musical instrument app that is adversly affected by the new cirrus logic chip.  Audio fidelity is suffering.
    Is there any chance for a software/driver tweak of this chip, or my I please request an improvement on the next iphone model?
