No Sound during iMovie playback

When I play video from the camera through imovie, I can hear sound through the computer. While importing, I hear sound through the computer. Playing the imported clip back in iMovie will not play sound. I have the audio tracks checked, etc. I can drag the clip to the desktop, and hear sound in quicktime, and I can hear the sound when exported to idvd. Any suggestions on getting sound through iMovie?

WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM HERE AT THE ALBERNI PROJECT (ALBERNIPROJECT.ORG). WE CAN'T US ANY CLIPS OF EITHER .MOV OR .MPEG CONVERTED OVER TO .MOV AND HAVE THE SOUND COME THROUGH. WE HAVE WRITTEN TO MAC SUPPORT TWICE WITH NO RESPONSE, TOOK THE PROBLEM TO THE STORE WHERE WE PURCHASED THIS G5 FROM AND EXPLAINED OUR PROBLEM AND THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE "SUGGESTIONS" FROM THE HELP KEY ON IMOVIE HD WHICH DOESN'T FIX OUR PROBLEM OF NO SOUND IN PLAYBACK EDITING DURING MEDIA CREATION. - LEWIS BARTHOLOMEW - PROJECT DIRECTOR

No Sound During DVD Playback

I have a new HP elitebook 8460p and there is no sound during DVD playback. Is there a setting I may be able to change? Here is a list of things I've tried and pertinent information:
- Confirmed all system mute settings are off (e.g., not muted)
- Confirmed DVD works on other devices
- DVD will not play sound in InterActual Player, Windows Media Player, or VLC Media Player
- Picture is fine...just no audio
- Running XP
- All other system sounds work

No sound during fullscreen playback iTunes.

After updating my iTUNES to Version 12.1.2.27. There is no audio during fullscreen video playback. Audio is normal during windowed playback.
I'm using a Macbook Pro retina 13" with OS X 10.8.3. Even after increasing or decreasing the audio level in fullscreen there is no sound. Please help.

Hi!
Welcome to the discussions and to Macs!
Don't know about your specifics, but a simple thing to test is to look at the iDVD menu for the titles....I am assuming this is on a submenu....to see if the audio icon is active. If you look in the audio well, there should be a tiny icon with wavy lines. If it is not present, click on the audio well and it should return. It is very small...I almost could not see it.
You cannot see this if you have any audio files in the well, so remove the file first.
I am sure more knowledgeable users will offer their advice as well.

No sound during title playback

hi i'm wondering if sum of you guys could help me out. ive just got my first mac and im very pleased
i am trying to burn 3/4 episodes of a tv show that i have in .avi container, mp4 format, each aprox 350mb in size, to dvd format with the abillity to select which of the 3 episode i would like to watch. i am not fussed about glitz and glamour with regards to menus, just quality audio and video.
i use ffmpgx for single movies
i have previously used vso convertx to dvd with great results on a pc, but is not supported on mac.
i have downloaded a divx component for quicktime, and also have vlc installed
i have tried to burn the episodes using idvd, and all seemed to be going well, having set the preferences to allow for the img size needed. i left the dvd to encode over night and had it set to make an img file.
when i tried playing back the img i had great video quality, but no sound what so ever, and cannot for the life of me figure out why.
does anybody no the cause?
to recap,
avi container-(according to ffmpegx summary, video= mpeg4, yuv420p, 624x352)
audio= mp3, 48000 Hz, stereo, 32 kb/s
burned using idvd
menu music is present
no sound during playback of titles
burn setting to x1/2
taiyo yuden dvd-r disc
1gb ram
200+gb hard drive
2gig intel core 2 duo
minimal programmes running
on another note, while on a pc i was using a program called gspot for determining the required video and audio codes required and whether or not it would render/play on the system. is there anything similar for mac?
cheers for any and all help

How do I reduce slideshow sound during video playback in iPhoto.

Hi all.
The quick slideshow in iPhoto 09 is fantastic! The combination of pictures and videos blending into each other works very well.
...with one exception. When showing a video with sound the selected background music for the slideshow still plays - at a reduced volume. This reduced backgroundvolume is often not reduced enough and it interfers and destroys the experience of the video clip. I would like to find an option for reducing the backgroundmusic even further or maybe mute it during the video playback. But as soon as next pictures are shown the backgroundmusic should return again.
A very technical solution eg changing / "hacking" iPhoto files would be fine also.
Best regds
Jesper

That can't be done. Send in a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
If you're saving the movie as a QT file for use elsewhere and have access to iMovie HD 6 you can do that very easy. Create the movie without added music, export to Quicktime, import into iMovie HD 6 and add the music tracks as desired.

You will have lots of control over the sound this way.

Annoying Sound on iMovie Playback

When playing back an iMovie made with the built in iSight camera on my MacBook the playback has an annoying ringing sound on it. This occurs with all of the iMovie videos I've made (All five of them! ). I have not downloaded any iMovie videos from any other source. The sound is regular and consistent.
I do not hear this ringing on my iMac or on my relative's MacBook.
Any ideas?

i created several movies in ilife08....and was able to hear the audio on both the event and project libraries. then today i upgraded to leopard.. and i can't hear the audio on these same events and projects. i can see that sound is playing - and when i share on youtube - there is audio..
i just can't hear it.
i've checked the obvious - like the mute... but can't seem to figure out whats wrong.
thanks for your time. - paula

Can't hear recorded sound during video playback

I take a lot of videos of my kids. I have noticed lately that the volume is low or muffled...you can't hear what is being said even if they are screaming 6 inches away. I thought maybe something had gotten into the microphone, etc. I recorded a voice memo and on playback i could hear what was recorded just fine at a normal level. Now once I tried to record a video of my kids talking, it played back so low that i can't hear anything and that is with the volume turned wide open. Not really sure what this issue could be but if the volume works fine on voice memo wouldn't it work the same on video playback?

Recording from Internal ISight interupted during IMovie Playback

I record and edit a daily blog (5-6 minutes long) on IMovie 7.1.1 from my internal ISight which i eventually share/post on YouTube. I have over 100 blog postings and all the recordings has always worked well. My last 5 recordings (all at different times)have come out choppy. The audio and video get interrupted numerous times (usually between 5-15 seconds apart) as if there is a sudden break/jump in recording. The recording location and techniques are the same as they always were. It has nothing to do with the editing -- this is the actual raw footage from the ISIght recording. I do this for my business, and it really is an issue if my ISight/IMovie has a problem. Please someone advise

Taking Pictures are not a problem. S Photo Booth works. In fact, IMovie records. The problem is the slight interruption every 5-15 seconds in the recording

Touchsmart 600 popping sound during music playback

dear all,
i have a very new touchsmart 600-1036D running windows 7 and realtek HD audio card with internal speakers.
I realised that when i am playing music either with WMP or Itunes 64bit, and at the same time when i am surfing or working on a excel sheet/word or something like that, there is a cracking popping sound (like the sound u hear when u plug a 3.5mm head into a jack). The sound only comes on when i am clicking something or launching another program or moving my mouse..
basically if is only the music playing, the music plays well and nice, but when the PC has to do someting else, the popping sound comes.
I have reinstall and update the audio driver, done all diagnostics tests as instructed by HP. but still cannot resolve.
The sound is audible via my headphones as well.
Any idea how to solve this? totally irritating.

May I refer you to the following link in this forum. It sounds like you are having the same problem as a lot of other consumers that have bought this product including myself. The subject " Touchsmart 600xt Audio Performance " is on page 2 .

TS5150 i'm having trouble with the sound during playback on my apple tv

theres no sound during playback on my apple tv

Welcome to the Apple Community mdez3799
Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
If you are using a sound system/receiver, make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of content? If you use optical you might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?

Sound during import, but no clip capture or sound on playback,

There is sound in iMovie 5 from computer when importing video from camera, BUT no clips on shelf and no sound in playback. No wave in extracted audio. Video playback OK, but pale. Any ideas?
Thanks.
OS10.4.10, Gammyguy

Sorry if I came off a bit testy. I use the Apple TV daily in my work environment for background noise and the issues totally derailed my workflow this morning.
So, I tried adjusting audio settings for both Dolby Digital and Audio Out. No luck.
Last resort time. Hardwired (USB cable) to my laptop and restored via iTunes. Success, audio fuctional across all apps. Not the best of solutions because of the time required to restore accounts for the various 3rd party apps on the Apple TV but it worked.
Guess I will never know what caused the 'no audio" issue though I suspect a bad/failed auto update. As convenient as that new feature is, it doesn't help when things go wrong.
A final note, beta software is supposed to be buggy, I undertstand. Production stuff isn't. I've been a loyal Apple user for 20+ years now because of their quality control. I've used competing products too and felt very annoyed at the lack of QC (looking at you Google TV). I would love to see quicker addressing of bugs on the Apple TV OS because a bad experience is what drives less-technical users away. It is a real game changer device if Apple were to even attempt to give it the level of support that other products get. Anyways, that's my soapbox moment.

No sound during import from camcorder

When I am importing video from a DV tape in a camcorder I don't hear any sound. After the clip is captured, you can hear the sound during playback. Is there a setting that allows you to hear the sound during import? I have tried importing HDV format from a camcorder and regular DV from a tape deck with the same results.

iMovie does not play sound on import. This makes sense if you consider that most current camcorders do not import in real time. They are faster or slower than real time depending on the speed of the Mac.
See if your camera has a speaker. You can listen from the camcorder.

Docked iPod only outputs sound during video to TV

I have a 5G iPod in an Apple dock, connected to my TV using a Monster audio cable and an S-Video cable. For some reason, it only outputs sound during videos or a photo slide show - not at all for music only playback. I'm baffled! Any idea why? It's a Panasonic plasma, and I've tried three different inputs. None work for music, but video is fine.

The iPhone 4, unlike iPod, doesn't ask you to set for PAL or NTSC. In fact, in the SETTINGS/Video menu it only asks if you want to "Start Playing From Beginning", "Closed Captioning" and "Home Sharing". I was surprised it had no settings like the iPod at all.

No sound in imovie using mpeg videos. HELP!

Hi, im a newbie, so I have lots of questions with sound in imovie.
I have a digital camrea which does the mpeg movie thing.
so when I import the movie into imovie I see the video but I hear no sound.
I know this was covered in some topics, but I being new to this I really didnt understand.
Im hoping that someone here and point me in the right direction.
Thank you.

Hi PK - welcome to the forum!
Increasingly, people with digital still cameras want to import their short movie clips created with that camera. BUT the catch is that these movies are NOT in .dv format. They are MPEGs, and if they are MPEG1 or MPEG2 then they must be converted to DV before they will import into iMovie with the audio able to play.
This conversion usually can be done with a free app. called MPEG StreamClip, but may also need another piece of software called the Apple MPEG2 Playback Component (which costs about $20)..
A search in this forum for those, will give you several threads on the issue!
Look here, for example, for more about the method required:

NOTE that iMovie was designed for DV use (a high-quality editing format), not the much lower quality MPEG footage.

Having random crashes during audio playback.

Greetings,
I seem to be having some issues with crashing during audio playback. Here are my specs:
MSI K8N Neo2 Plat (1.B BIOS)
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (Winchester)
4x512 Corsair TWINX 1024 3200C2PT (Bought at seperate times, but revisions are almost exact and they run stable)
NVIDIA GeForce 6800
Creative Audigy 2 ZS
Forton Source FSP 400W
It seems to do the same thing every time. The audio will start skipping (in more than 1 media player) and after no BSOD, the computer will reboot itself. I have it set to show a BSOD as well. It has even started to ask to check my D: drive for errors after this.
The problem first started to occur after a couple of things. I recently updated my bios to the 1.B version as stated. And a week or so ago I did a fresh install of Windows. The sound was working fine with the new BIOS, but now with the new Windows install it has had issues. Are there any known issues with the Audigy2 ZS and the new 1.B BIOS that I just didn't experience before? Granted, I did not have my old install of Windows long under the new 1.B BIOS.
At this moment I am using the AC97 onboard audio to see if that crashes as well, and just to hopefully have the random crashes stop happening. I know there are quite a few avenues to take, I am just looking for opinions on which would be the best one. Reflash the bios to an older version? Try the Audigy2 in a different PCI slot? (I had it in the 2nd to bottom as the NIC is plugged into the orange PCI) Contact Creative for an RMA or repair of the card? I only bought it on December 16th, so it's fairly new. Something else I am maybe missing? A BIOS or Windows setting?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. If I need to provide any more info, please say so and I will promptly.
Thanks.

I have the same MB and CPU but I am using the onboard sound and have not had any problems with that.
I can recommand that you bump up your memory voltage to 2.6~2.7 and loosen up your memory timings to something like 2.5-5-5-8-2T.
Then remove all drivers from your Audigy, disable your onboard sound and remove those drivers, shut down and install your Audigy and boot up allowing Windows to find your new hardware and then install the drivers.
