No sound during playback (but sound effects are working)

Was there a bad incremental update in the last 24 hours? Woke up this morning to find that my 2nd Gen Apple TV has gone mute. But only during playback of videos or music. The clicking sound effect during navigation comes through just fine. Tried this over HDMI and the Digital out, with both a receiver and directly to the tv. Also tried it with multiple apps so it isn't app specific. Hope Apple fixes this soon.

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.

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?

TS3274 no sound on games but sound when i play music

no sound on games but sound when i play music

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

IMovie '11: No sound on playback but volume on scrubbing

The subject says it all. I have iMovie '11, I get no sound on playback for audio from any source however I can hear sound if I scrub through the video. If I export the movie I get sound there too.
I'm running 10.7.x on an iMac.
Too strange!!!

I just found this post and I tried it, and it worked for me. I've been searching for 2 days for a solution to this problem, so out of kindness I am reposting this answer to questions that still are unsolved.
"I FIGURED IT OUT!!! All you have to do is create an event. Go to File and click "New Event". Label it and drag whatever clips you want to preview. They all seem to work as long as they are in separate events."
So create a new event (not project, event). Highlight whatever clips you want to play with and drag them into that new event. Then go back to your project and look for clips from that event, not all iPhoto videos, just that event. You will hear them, and can now continue on.
Amen.

Audio Mixer faders don't move during playback, but levels do change

Hi, I'm having this problem (FCP 6.06):
I've automated clip levels on my audio tracks with keyframes. Druing playback, all the audio mixing works fine, volumes go up and down like they are supposed to.
However, I wanted to watch it happen in the audio mixer. Expect, with the audio mixer open, none of the faders move, even though I can clearly hear the clips adjusting themselves properly.
If I stop the playback, and click around in the timeline, then the faders move to show the correct levels. But during playback, they will not move at all!
I tried changing the audio mixer Source menu, from auto, canvas, viewer, etc. No effect. I tried enableing the "Record audio keyframes" button, the downmix buttone, etc. No effect. Any ideas?

Hi,
I have the same problem.
I figured out, that the failure occures for sure if I speed up the video to > 1000%. The funny thing is that the video plays fine, only audio (musik track) stopps...
The audio track of the video (therefore also speed up to 1000%) is muted, and shouldn't be rendered, right? But if I delet this speeded up audioclip the problem is gone!
Another problem is the master-audiometer. It stopps working sometimes while audio is still playing. Changing the sequence and changing back again helps solving the problem for some minutes... boring.
What should we do?
I don't think that my pc is to slow. i7 980X, 24GB Ram, GTX 680, Raid0 SATA3, SSD.

My sound is fine but my mic isnt working. how do i fix or figure out whats wrong with it

Title says it. I just did a clean wipe on my computer and now my mic isnt working on vent or skype, i dont know what is wrong with it. When i go to my sound hardware it says my external mic, IDT high def audio codec is enabled..

Same thing here. Must be update related. Who knows. Tried to go into ventrilo today and nada. Can hear people fine, microphone not picking. In my devices it says my Anvex Virtual Audio is "not available", same with the "IDT High Definition Audio Codec. Now I'm starting to get a little agitated. No diagnostics have come back with a ping on the issue. All settings seem fine. I HAVE AUDIO, as in my speakers are working so **bleep**.
I'm lost. No clue how to fix it. Guess I'm no longer raiding and that if this isn't working I'm going to go buy a Dell and rage beat this piece of **bleep** in the yard. That's right. I am taking 3 years of continual frustration out with HP errors, Vista complications and overall disatisfaction.
If you can fix this problem I will offer you pictures of fluffy kittens and circus acrobats/contortionists. Now fix my ventrilo. lol

No messages are dowloading for one account, but two others are working. Server settings are fine, messages are dowloading on another computer OK, but not mine.

My thunderbird has stopped downloading messages in one of my accounts, the other two accounts, from different providers, are working fine.
We have two PC's downloading messages from the same account, and it has worked fine like this for years. The other PC is still receiving the messages. I've checked my webmail, and can log in fine there, the settings in my account have not been changed in Thunderbird, and are the same as the other PC.
I looked in the error console in Thunderbird, this is what message I get :
"Timestamp: 23/03/2015 12:41:03 PM
Error: An error occurred during a connection to pop3.vianet.ca:110.
Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s).
(Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap)
Thanks for any ideas you might have on solving this! Happy to provide more info if needed.

Hi，
I sugget you try to ping server so that we can verify the connectivity.
Can windows 8.1 access Windows Server 2008R2?
Also,please check the event viewer to see if some error log appeared when the issue occurred.

DivX player - QuickTime - no sound during playback

Trying to play avi files on this MacBook - downloaded QuickTime 7 and DivX player for Mac - both play the video wonderfully but with no sound - My computer is not muted - nor do I have the DivX player muted - playback is fine on the Windows side using GOM player - Would be gratefull for any advice on how to resolve this issue

Are you actually using both programs at once? After putting DivX on any of my machines clicking a file would open it in Quicktime and play just fine, also I saw this today I havent tried it myself but people seem happy with it

Also give VLC a try
Good luck

Weird sound during playback of recorded track

hey guys, how are you all doing?
so i got a new pc rig, which is quite fast, and have started using adobe audition for recording purposes.
i use a soundblaster audigy 2 soundcard
when i record one track and then play it, theres a weird sound at around 25 seconds which becomes louder and then stops suddenly. it also creates a delay if i'm recording multiple tracks. here's a sound clip of the noise:
http://www.savefile.com/files/2151778
please tell me how to fix it.
any help would be appreciated

Thanks.
I found a solution which works at least between 50 bpm and 177 bpm:
Add a volume fader. Connect the output of the volume fader to the input of the tempo fader and set the input of the tempo fader to volume, then record the volume fader. Moving the volume fader moves also the tempo fader and changes the tempo.
During play back, the volume fader reads the recorded automation data and updates the tempo fader in real-time and the tempo of the song is changed.
For this you don't have to activate tempo recording in the project settings and the possibilities to graphically edit automation data are also better.
Additionally you can add varispeed to set the speed range from 25 - 88,5 bpm up to 100 - 354 bpm.

Random chirping/hiccup sounds during playback?

I have a 5G 60GB Video iPod. While listening to my music on it, it will make random chirping/hiccup sounds through ever song. I know it isn't the song file, because when it first started happening, I'd review back and it wouldn't ever make the sounds in the same part of the song twice.
This never happens while I'm listening to the iPod through i-Tunes, just when it's through earphones and synced in the car. I've tried restoring the iPod several times, searched endlessly online for any similar instances of this happening and can't find anything.
I can't describe the noise any better than a chirp, skip, pop, hiccup...I can't find anything. Any information about getting this problem fixed would be so appreciated!!

Hi, I have the exact same problem... did you find an answer for this? a solution? I was about to buy a new one (6th Gen, Classic) but I then Googled for it and found they have the same problem so upgrading to a new one wont resolve the issue... cant understand why Apple haven't do anything about it.

IPod mini has ticking sound during playback

When I play music, some (but not all) songs have a ticking sound. Any idea what I can look at to correct this problem?

Yes, they do, including after updating to iTunes 6.1 or whatever the newest release is. The ticking sound is not audible playing the CD using iTunes, though. The only thing I have been able to think of is that the USB port is not a high-speed port as it is on my son's computer where the ticking sound is not audible with the same music. Any thoughts?
