No audio in DVDPlayer

When I play a commercial DVD in DVDlayer I sometimes have audio and sometimes not, and no amount of messing with the audio controls will help. The same thing happens if I play the DVD in VLC.
Is it a problem with the particular DVD disc, or a computer problem?

Hi,
First install
MS-UAA if You have XP with SP2 (before IDT audio) here
MS-UAA if You have XP with SP3 (before IDT audio) here
then try one of this audio drivers:
IDT High-Definition Audio CODEC Driver,
1. sp41693, vista driver, reported work in XP here
2. sp39671, vista driver, reported works in XP here or here

ITunes 11.1.3 issues - freezing during audio playback.

Like many other folks on here, I'm having some playback issues with iTunes 11.1.3.
Macbook (couple years old) 2.4 mhz 2 core- 4 gigs ram
We use this computer primarily for music playback for dance classes and performances. Have run dozens of shows over the last year or so with zero issues.
There *might* be a better playback software option, but iTunes doesn't get in the way with too many options, has (up until now) been rock solid, and has never let us down, and is less prone to user error causing huge WHOOPS during something important.
That is, until 11.1.3. Didn't really notice any issues at first, but wife came home from a dress rehearsal Wednesday evening and complained - "it froze a couple of times while playing back Act 1. What's wrong with my computer?". (Act 1 - approx 50 minutes of music - 40ish total cuts).
I looked at it - she had a ton of other stuff running - mail - wifi - DVDPlayer - iPhoto - you name it. I figured that was the problem, shut all the other stuff off, and figured it was solved.
Nope - I'm running audio during our final tech rehearsal this evening before performances start in the morning.
35 or 40 minutes in - froze again during a track.
It just stopped - buttons became unresponsive - beachball came up - we waited a minute - and then it freaked out while trying to catch up with anything I had pressed, skipped around a bit, then resumed acting normal again.
Took a short break - checked nothing else was running that didn't need to be and made some adjustments:
Wifi off
Cloud off
Check downloads, sync, podcasts ... all off.
Reset all warnings. Reset cache ( which took a surprising amount of time)
Match and Genius, off
Opened Acitvity Monitor and stopped any processes that were not essential
Reboot ....
Another 30 or 40 minutes later - froze again.
Luckily, the lighting guy had a PC laptop with him. I quickly authorized his computer, transferred everything, and the rest of the evening went without a glitch.
Not sure what to do next. I'm pretty sure it's NOT the computer.
Disk checks OK. All hardware test are OK.
Couple of observations:
1. If I repair permissions - it finds a TON of messed up (?) iTunes permissions and fixes them. One day later, it find just as many again. What's up with that?
2. If I watch disk access in the Actiity monitor during playback - on occassion there's a WRITE spike. Odd. What's it writing? This is with NOTHING ELSE running but iTunes, which didn't glitch during the spike, but still, what's that? A contributing factor? A clue?
3. CPU and memory use looked OK. Haven't managed to get it to glitch again while I'm actually watching this though.
Between what I've tried, and what I've read here, I'm pretty convinced our Macbook isn't at fault here. I'm pretty sure there's a problem with 11.1.3
If anybody has other observations or suggestions, I'l love to hear them.

Are these recent releases?
I had troubles right after iTunes 10 came out because Digital copies were misreading "10" as "1" since the version check script was only looking for a single digit version number. Newer releases shouldn't have this, but if it's more than two years old, it might do this.

Extract Audio From a DVD

Is there a way to extract audio, such as a song, from a dvd and turn it into an mp3 file for recording on a CD?
Thank you for your help.

two options:
converter tool Mpeg Streamclip allows a direct export to mp3 (mp2 playback component needed, 20$)
or
connect a DVDplayer's audio-out via a cable to your Mac's audio-in, launch Garageband/Audacity/.. and record the audio..

No Audio on ANY DVDs!

Hey, folks...
A couple of weeks ago, Emma stopped playing audio on any DVDs. Not just AVIs, mind you, but any DVDs at all, using DVD Player.
I've tried restarting, of course, and using different DVDs, including storebought ones. All other applications play audio just fine, but my DVDs are all silent.
Any ideas? What else can I try? Please help... I have a Deadwood disk that I'm dying to watch!

Within the Home folder of your user you will want to find a Library folder, in that folder you will find a prefrences folder. In that folder you will find a com.apple.Dvdplayer.plist drag it to your trash bin and login then out.
That should fix your issue

Dvdplayer

hi all,
iam developing a dvdplayer using jmf and jni and c++ can anyone help me how to retrive the data from the dvd driver and set it in the form of url if anybody have source can you send me so that i can make my player successful , waiting for your reply .
thank you
regards

if you are referring to audio cd when saying songs cd, using the windows performance pack, you can play it by passing the cda file in the cd to the player [got this in the faq]. having a hard time in the dvd player need direct sector access. am doing some revisions in the player code i'll send the core to you in the next few hours.
by the way you can use pure java to read the dvd headers.
2 main problems remain for the dvd player:
1. direct sector access (can be solve with c/c++ code using jni)
2. mpeg2 decoder (dont know yet)

No audio on macpro

Hello,
I suddenly cannot listen to anything on my MacPro. It started being a problem on and off. Now there is no sound in any of the following apps: VLC, DVDplayer, final cut, spotify . QT, either DVD or file
on system pref I have selected Blackmagic audio, our card, but there is no sound either in any integral speakers, line out, digital out or blackmagic, I don´t know what else to try,
Any help welcome,
thanks,
Nere

As Ogelthorpe says you will need to use your audio output port for the sound.
Use the HDMI for video and something like this to connect to TV sound (this carries sound)

I use it on my 2009 MBP, works great.

Optical out problem: no sound with DVDplayer?

Hi,
I've got a problem with the optical output of my MBP. When I play a DVD with the DVDplayer app or VLC my receiver doesn't detect the optical signal from the MBP. I think this is a software problem.
I say this because all the hardware I use seems to work fine:
1. My receiver/amp detects the optical signal from another DVD player device with no problems.
2. The optical cable I use with the MBP is the same cable as a use with the DVD player device (with the mini jack adaptor of course).
3. When I insert the optical cable into the combined output of the MBP and I launch DVDplayer app, you can see the red light comming out at the other end of the cable.
4. I've set in Audio/Midi app the digital signal to all possible combinations (44,1 kHz, 48 khz with 16, 20 and 24 bits)
5. Trashed prefs of systemaudio, DVDplayer and Audio/Midi app.
But it still doesn't work. Anybody knows what I can try?
Thanks.

Will iTunes play through the amp?

Unable to capture audio

Hi,
Last week I updated the drivers for my Blackmagic Multibridge extreme. Now when I try to capture the material in FinalCutPro 5.1.4 I can see the picture, hear the sound on my monitors (they are connected directly to Multibridge), but the captured material doesn't have sound, because it takes the sound from the internal audio input. I tried to capture from Blackmagic Deck Control (an external application) and it works fine, it captures with sound. So I suspect I have to change the audio input in FCP, but dont know where. In audio/video settings in FCP everything is set to DeckLink (Multibrige extreme).
Where is the problem?
Thanks,
Simon

Thanks for the reply.
Looking at system preferences I found that audio input was set microphone. Don't know how it happened. I switched it to DeckLink and now FCP displays 16 input channels in Log and Capture dialog. I didn't try to capture yet but I think it solved the problem, because before I had only two channels displyed.

Unable to capture audio from BlackMagic HD Extreme via Voice Over tool

Hi !
I'm trying to capture audio via my BlackMagic HD Extrem card using the Voice Over tool in FCP6, but I can't, no audio is incoming.
I can ingest audio with video using log and capture, then I know my card and my cables are working.
I tried to set the BM card as audio input in my Audio's System Prefereces Pane, but it isn't working either.
I've been looking on the BM website, but I found nothing.
Can you help me ?
Thx

Thanks for the reply.

Unable to capture 2 audio tracks

FCP refuses to capture 2 audio channels?! I have one mic on channel 1 and another mic on channel 2 but FCP captures only 1 mono track eventhough in Clip Setting both channel 1 and 2 are selected. Does anybody know what could be wrong?
Another thing is that when I have captured a clip - it won´t appear automatically in the Browser as it always has done? Now I need to import the Clip from my Project folder. FCP going crazy.

Audio malfunctioning on hp ultrabook?

Hello! So i just recently got a laptop in late june almost early july.
Its a HP ENVY touchsmart 4 Ultrabook
Its not even 2 months old and the speakers on here suck. They kida slurr and like lag. Its stutters really bad. I can't listen to 1 song without it doing that. And sometimes it freezes but only very quickly. And also my down arrow button came off like within 2 weeks.
This is my first Laptop so im not sure if i can return this and get a new one because its audio is malfunctioning and stuff? I have a one year warranty on this.

Hello Gurjot24,
If you want to return it rather than getting it fixed, please contact HP support over the phone to see what options are available.
If you are in the US or Canada the number is 1-800-474-6836, if you reside in a different location click on this link. Click on your country, then click “technical support after you buy”, and the number will be provided.
I hope everything works out.

How do I use my web cam to record audio and video? I can get the video to work but no sound.

I want to record both audio and video at the same time. The video works fine but not the audio. I do use Skype without any problems using both.

PwmBoat,
This made me smile, because things like this do make me smile... I never make videos on YouCam, but I did this time, so I could test this one out.
You did not say what webcam software you are using...
======================================================================
Video and audio recording works on YouCam V3.5.1.4606
Make sure you have turned on a working microphone in Settings:
YouCam > Right-Side Settings >
Right-Side, Lower-Right, Select a working Microphone from the Drop down list
AND
CHECK "Capture with audio"
OK
You can also buy (for $38 US) YouCam 5.0 from the Cyberlink.com website and it has audio/video and all sorts of other goodies, too. (They have 3.x as well, but why buy what HP already gives you?)
==========================================================================
I hope this helps!
We work hard to help!

I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it. I cannot figure out how to do that. The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device. Does this kind of download have to run through itunes? Thanks

Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

Why does GarageBand audio work for guest user but not my account?

Hello, I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3) from late 2011 that I bought brand new in 2012. I'm running OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 and my MacBook has 500 GB of storage.
About a month or two ago I tried to download the new GarageBand (10.0.2) but I had trouble completing the loops download. The download would stop halfway through because of a network error. So last week I decided to try to download it again, and I was able to do so after reading some discussions about the issue. I successfully completed the download in safety mode and then I restarted my MacBook. At this point I was able to open GarageBand 10.0.2 and create a new project. Unfortunately, there was no audio coming through the output and sound bar for the various audio components in GarageBand. I had no audio when previewing the loops or playing it back in an audio track. I didn't really test anything else out because I figured I needed to fix this problem first. I have read many discussion boards about audio problems with GarageBand. I have already made sure everything is set properly in the GarageBand preferences and the audio preferences in system preferences. I've tried restarting GarageBand and restarting the computer.
This evening I found a discussion from the username icewhatice and they seemed to have had my exact problem. I'm not sure that I found the answer on this discussion though. For reference, this is what icewhatice posted: "I have no audio coming from Garageband 10.0.2. Downloaded it on Saturday and have spent the last two days trying to figure out why it won't work. I'm using a macbook pro with an Alesis QX49. GB registers keyboard when I plug it in but no sound whatsoever, not even from the onscreen keyboard. It seems to read the keyboard as if I play a C chord, it appears in the display. I've done all the obvious stuff like check preferences, restart, I've deleted and downloaded new GB several times and always with same result. Actually, it took me about four attempts to download it in the first place as I was getting an internet connection error message right at the end of the download, and I see others have had that problem. Managed to solve that by downloading in safe mode but now the no sound thing is driving me absolutely crazy because I can't play my keyboard!!!!! Also, worth noting that there is no audio level being read anywhere, I believe in the new version this appears in the volume control at the top. I've also looked into it potentially being a problem with my keyboard and it possibly needing an update but can't find any difinitive answer for that anywhere. I've stopped looking into that because the on screen keyboard doesn't even work - if that worked then I would know at least GB works and it's something to do with the keyboard. So, I am at a complete loss. If anyone has any ideas about why this is happening or what I could do to solve then I would be very grateful."
After reading this, I realized that I am unable to create new tracks, and I realized that I have the same problems with old projects saved from the last version of GarageBand I had. I have not tried to download GarageBand again since it did not work for icewhatice. léonie ended this post by saying: "Something is certainly wrong - either the current project, some settings in your user account, or the downloaded GarageBand version. Or incompatible software may be interfering. If a new project does not work, try to test by logging into a different user account, for example the "Guest User" account. Create a new project using this account. Does GarageBand work better from this account? Then we will need to troubleshoot your preferences."
I have tried this and started a new GarageBand project in the "Guest User" account. GarageBand was working fine in the "Guest User" account and all of the audio was working properly. Does anyone know how I should troubleshoot my preferences?

If an application is working in a different account, but not in your regular account,try t find out, what you configured differently in your own account, for example start-up items or preference panes you are using, applications and other helper tools, that are only installed for your regular account. As a first guess, remove GarageBands preference files from the user library in your Home folder.
But you will have to reset all settings you did in the GarageBand preferences dialog. And GarageBand will not remember the last project. You'll have to find the file manually.
Remove these files from your User Library to a folder on your Desktop:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.garageband.plist
~/Library/Caches/garageband
Quit GarageBand, then remove the files to a folder on the Desktop and restart the computer, before trying again to open GarageBand.
You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:
Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house) in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
Enable "Show Library Folder".
Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to the Preferences, Caches, or Containers folder. Remove these folders completely - don't leave anything inside: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/,
~/Library/Caches/garageband .

Does the mini DVI port cary audio if using a Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter?

Hello everyone,
I've heard it is possible for a DVI port to transmit audio data to a HDMI connection if a DVI to HDMI cable is used, which will allow the sending of both audio and video to your TV. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalVisualInterface
I'm assuming this is not possible using apples mini DVI port, but just wanted to check to make sure. My main goal is to get surround sound out of my powerbook. To do this by simply adding a Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter would be GREAT!

Hi Jonathan,
I'm assuming this is not possible using apples mini DVI port
Yup, no audio, unfortunately. The audio will have to transmitted separately via the analog audio output.
