No audio in Safari

Checking a few sites today I could not pull up any audio. The speakers work fine (iTunes) so I know the circuits are working but when viewing embedded YouTube videos, or even YouTube itself, or PJTV (Flowplayer device). Or even a streaming MP3, nothing. This has never happened before.
Any suggestions?

Weird. Very weird. I went to the Midi Controller as directed in the link and the instructions were:
Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
Quit Audio MIDI Setup.
My MIDI setup said the "output was not supported."
I then closed that out, went to Garage Band, plunked a couple of notes on the piano. recorded it. Played it back, and rebooted Safari.
Voila! Everything was OK again...until I played an embedded YouTube. It went silent again.
The streaming MP3 was fine. The Flowplayer was OK. Even a YouTube from the YouTube site was good. I'm back to "dead" again. Nothing works.
Two questions:
1) why did the Garage Band thing work? It doesn't make sense. (Thanks, though!) and
2) what now? Any suggestions?

WVC210 - How Do I get Audio using Safari

I have read all the posts that say audio is not supported in Safari. I believe the primary reason is MPEG4 is not used with the Safari browser. However, I have seen competing products that support audio in Safari browser, so there must be a way to do it.
I'm trying to get the audio in my iphone 4. Can anyone guide me in the right direction? Is there a third party application that will stream the MPEG4 video with audio? It is not possible is not an answer.

Hello community,
I would like to provide an update for those of you with Android devices connecting to the WVC210. The application IP Cam Viewer now supports listen only audio for these cameras. (Paid version only, $4.99 as of today) I have tested it with the WVC210 and it does work. I did have to lower the MJPEG video size and quality in order to get clear audio on my phone. It also appears that the application utilizes the MPEG4 stream when you don't have audio enabled and MJPEG when you do. So far I have not had any luck streaming audio from the PVC2300 camera. If you have an iPhone and get a chance to try IP Camera Viewer, please post and let us know if it works.

HT204291 Airplay video but no audio through Safari

I have a problem with Airplay not allowing audio from Safari based media. I am trying to steam an NFL game but the audio will not transfer from built in speakers to Airplay. I have noticed this is an issue on the discussion boards and have done all they suggest. Help!

Hi,
Many vendors, if not all have not released drivers for Windows 8 officially therefore we have to wait. The following forum may help:

Download streaming audio via Safari 7

I'm sure this question has been answered somewhere but I can't find an answer. Anyway, once upon a time it was possible to download streaming audio via Safari's "activity" tab in the drop down "Window" menu. I know it's possible to do the same thing via the "Develop" menu but can't figure it out. I am trying to download audio files from a public domain language learning site and could do it easily before the "activity" tab disappeared.

Here is a link to the audio I am trying to download. As you say, this was once simple and I would be happy just having access to the website. But it inexplicably goes down for long periods and in any case, having the sound files makes it more portable.

I understand there is software that can do this but if I can download without it, I'd prefer not to spend the money.

No audio from Safari

Hi,
I'm getting no audio from Safari since the 3.2.1 release.

So my conclusion is that my system is ok but Safari isn't, any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Update...I reset Safari, Quit, re-started my Mac, Safari audio now working ok - great, but don't know why.

Using Airport Express / Airtunes to play audio from Safari / OSX?

Just bought my first Airport Express. Can I use Airport Express / Airtunes to play out audio from Safari / OSX (or other applications) to my home stereo?

Hi Fenneberg:
Welcome to Apple Discussions and congrats on your AE purchase!
You'll need a 3rd application to stream music to your AE from other applications like Safari. It's called Airfoil and it can be found at: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/
I hope this helps!

imac intel 17 in Mac OS X (10.4.6)

D,
Most games and browser plugins have a tendency to change your default sound settings resulting in the loss of sound for some applications,
To recover them go to your Applications/Utilities folder and click on Audio/MIDI Setup. Under 'Audio Ouput' make sure your format settings are at 44100.0 Hz. If they are not, simply click on the 'format' pane and choose the appropriate figure.
Alternately, try simply launching GarageBand. Doing this automatically resets the audio back to it's original (44100.0 Hz) default values.
Hope this helps.

Phantom audio in Safari

When my wife starts Safari on her MacBook Pro she gets audio in the background from what sounds like an old CNN newscast. It is the same report every time, which eventually stops after 10 min or so. We cannot find the file or app that is playing this. Where should we look? and what for

Unable to playback audio on Safari iOS

Hi,
I am testing a simple Edge Animate animation that it has only 1 audio file and 1 simple button with audio playback action. Nothing more.
I test it on Safari Mac OS and works normal, but I am unable to make it work on Safari iOS 7 for the iPad.
Nothing happens when I touch the button. I tried with preload audio and not, with MP3 and M4A, and my browser works OK as a regular HTML5 audio playback file works simply fine. Now I am clueless.
I am using Edge Animate 4.1 for Mac OS 10.9
Thanks
Ignacio

I am using 2014.1 that creates 5.0 Edge Animate files according to what I see in the edge.js files. I think it's the latests as Creative Cloud doesn't offer me any other update so far...
I want to transform this HTML into a phonegap app, and it's not working there either, so I have no interest on testing it on Chrome, also this may work on Safari, so I'm only interested on that, I don't care about other browsers...
Same thing in Edge Animate CC 2014 works perfectly. I have read in other threads of this forum that there are some issues with latest version and audio playback on Safari iOS.

No Audio in Safari after DVD-Playback via "optical out"

Hi,
i'm using an optical cable to connect my Mac Mini to a hifi receiver. Audio works great in Safari & Firefox and so on, even digital out (dts, Dolby Digital) is working with Mac DVD-player.
But after DVD-playback the audio doesn't work anymore in Safari & Firefox. I have to completely quit Safari or Firefox and reopen to get audio back (e.g. Youtube or Apple Quicktime Videos).
How can i fix this?
Message was edited by: Supercoil1

I have the same problem.
Apparently, the "Digital Out" channel cannot be shared by multiple running applications, the first one starting takes it and keeps it. You have to stop it to allow an other (single) application to use it instead.
To me it is a bug : the front most application should take the Digital Out channel, and release it when an other one becomes front most, but this bug has apparently being going on for a long time, and Apple does not seem interested in its correction.

No audio in safari from flash players

Hi,
I have Safari 6.0.5 running on OSX 10.7.5. For some reason audio will not load from any strictly audio flash players (i.e. soundcloud) and ultimately ends up crashing Safari. Audio will however play fine via youtube or any other video format. I have the latest version of Flash as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The Problem is most likley the website having compadiblity issues. Try reseting Safari, or re-installing Flash. You may also need to enable flash in the safari settings. Does this happen in other browsers? If it works in other browsers try calling Support.

Quicktime 7.2 only plays audio in safari

Since I've upgraded to 7.2, all quicktimes in the browser now only play the audio. If I reload the page, the movie comes thru. Is there a fix/patch for this behaviour?
I am on a 2GHZ Inte Core Duo Macbook. with OSX 10.4.10
thanks
Ash

I've seen dozens of posted "fixes" and most seem to generate to other Web Sites by way of RSS feeds. They all seem to appear after any Mac OS or software update when viewers post "solutions" to issues.
Since those pages generate revenue from page hits it doesn't matter to them whether or not the fixes have actually been confirmed, are posted by other users or are even practical.
What works in one case may not even apply to another and each user.
Example in point is the famous "QuickTime question mark" that many users have experienced. Some were caused by browser plug-in changes that attempted to open Flash media files via QuickTime. Others were errors in Safari browser that failed to properly display .m4a files and a third is the "no video" problem posted here.
Each require a different "fix". Apple fixed the .m4a issue with the 7.2 update but many users have yet to install it. Adobe address some security issues and has updated their Flash player software and it fixes other errors.
I'm sorry if it appears I've singled your post out. It was not my intention to try to discredit your answer to any post here but that suggested "fix" (removing the QuickTime browser plug-in) would only repair Flash media issues (by disabling QuickTime).
We "regular" posters need to ask a question sometimes before giving out a specific fix. And we must understand that a wrong answer can do more harm than good.
And removing any plug-in will, obviously, cause other features to not work.
O.K.
Off my very short soapbox.

No audio from safari or firefox

Quite suddenly, I'm unable to get any audio from websites. Youtube - and other video sites - play the pictures but not the sound. It's the same whether I use Firefox or Safari. Yet all the audio stored on my Powerbook - whether in itunes or in various video clips - plays perfectly normally. Any ideas?

I was having the same problem, did a little more digging and found this:
Video but No Sound on YouTube, MySpace and Flash Video on Mac OS X inside Safari or Firefox:
When watching web pages with embedded Flash video or animation such as movie or video clip on YouTube and MySpace using Mac OS X, users may hear no sound. The no sound audio output problem happens despite video playback is fine, and the issue can happen on any web browser, i.e. Safari and Mozilla Firefox. Strange thing is that, when using other applications such as RealPlayer, QuickTime Player and VLC Player, the sound is played properly. And no audio output issue does not affect embedded QuickTime including HD contents on the web.
Apple Mac OS X support site explains that the no audio from certain multimedia content issue is caused by some audio applications that change the computer’s audio settings to a sample rate that is too high for other applications to use. The notorious programs include certain versions of Real Player, VLC Player and Audacity.
The solution to solve the Internet movie no sound or audio output is to reset the audio setting in Mac OS X to original configuration:
1. Open “Audio MIDI Setup” (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the “Audio Output” setting.
2. Change the “Audio Output” setting to 44100.0 Hz.
3. Quit Audio MIDI Setup.
If the Audio Output setting is grayed out or disabled, go to “Properties For” tab in Audio MIDI Setup, and select “Built in Output”.
