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

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 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 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

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.

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?

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?

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 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.

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.

Plantronics Voyager 855 unable to lower volume during iPod playback

I wasn't sure if this should be in 3GS or music and video, so I figured I would pick one.
I have a 3GS 32gb running version 3.1. The problem I have is during iPod playback. My Voyager 855 locks the volume slider on the phone at half way. Using the volume control ON THE HEADSET, I can increase the volume and see the volume slider on the phone increase correspondingly up to the point that the music is very loud. But, when I try to turn the music down, again using the volume controls ON THE HEADSET, the slider on the phone will only go down to the halfway point. I can continue to click the volume down button ON THE HEADSET and the button will beep along with a split second decrease in volume but as soon as the button is released the volume has not changed-it remains at the halfway point. I have this problem with watching youtube videos, everything, EXCEPT for on the rainfall app that I have. I can increase/decrease the volume all the way up or down to the point that I can no longer hear the rain or until it is so loud it hurts my ears. This is very frustrating as I would really like to use this headset while reading and for sleeping, but the iPod function is just too loud. My friend has a 3G 8gb with the exact same headset and he does not have this problem. Is this a feature/limitation of the 3GS?

Yeah, ha ha, that is my post to Plantronics and their reply to me. I tried what you suggested and no go:
Un pairing, rebooting, and re pairing did not result in a fix. I still have the same problem. I tried it on my wifes phone-hers is running 3.1.3, and no-go, it had the same problem.
The volume slider works when the music is not outputed through the headset. When through the iPhone speaker, it works as it should-the volume is able to be adjusted up and down via the slider. Videos behave as they should, any program that needs to be adjusted via the volume slider or the rocker button on the side of the phone works as it should. To expand on what I stated eariler: while using the iPod function I can set the slider all the way to the left (volume 0), press the option for output and set it to the headset. When I do that, there is a split second where you can see the slider move from the left to the middle, and then the slider disappears. It's almost as though the headset is resetting the default/baseline sound level from 0 to 50 (if we are working on a 0-100 scale). I can increase the volume using the buttons on the headset, and I can lower the volume only to half way. If I then select the option for sound output and change it back to speaker, the slider reappears, and it is all the way to the left where I originally set it. This is very frustrating. I can understand Plantronics response. but they are wrong. I can control the loudness of music via the iPod application. I guess maybe this is just a hiccup I will have to deal with. I have placed a request to Apple that they fix this. Maybe in the next upgrade they will, or at least add an option where you can adjust it in the settings.

Sleeps during DVD playback

Why does OS X.4 display go to sleep during Quicktime playback? It doesn't matter if I'm watching something through FrontRow, Quicktime, or the DVD player.
Specifically, when my MacBook is on battery power, my display sleep comes on within a few minutes. It dims first and then sleeps a short time later. All this is normal behavior EXCEPT I don't want it to sleep while playing a DVD. If I'm watching a DVD, sleep mode should never happen.
My other mac computers do the same thing but its less noticeable since the display sleep delay times are longer.
What settings am I missing or perhaps this is a bug?

I'm sorry my first post was too brief. I should have mentioned my settings before. I'm not a newbie looking for location of Energy Saver settings and I'm not quite sure why it should matter.
What possible combination of settings would allow the computer or display to sleep during DVD or Quicktime playback?
Settings for: Battery
Optimization: Normal
Reduce brightness for this power source- checked
Reduce brightness before sleep- checked
It will never sleep if the mouse is moving regardless of Energy Saver settings, right? Why should the display ever be put to sleep during playback of a DVD? It's like the OS never recognizes DVD & Quicktime video playback as actively using the computer.
Questions:
Does yours go to sleep during DVD playback?
What settings are you using?
I suspect this is an OS X.4 bug as I've caught one of my PPC macs going to screen-saver in the middle of playing a Quicktime movie clip.
Thank-you for your help... I really appreciate it even if it sounds otherwise.

Clicking noise during music playback

During music playback on my iphone 3G I get a faint continuous clicking noise in the background, its just audiable over the music and really gets on my nerves. I've tried my iphone with several different types of ear phones, apple and non-apple but its always there, on every song I play.
I have also listened to tracks from the macbook through itunes to see if the sound is on the track but the music plays through nice and clear from my macbook.
Has anyone else had this problem? Has anyone got any ideas about how to fix it?
Sam

Hi Sam,
Are you seeing this issue with tracks purchased from the iTunes Store or with tracks imported from CD?
Try testing with FREE on iTunes content> go to iTunes Store> FREE on iTunes near the bottom center of the page.
If the issue happens with music purchased from the iTunes Store try restoring the iPhone.

If its only happening with content imported from CD or sources other than the iTunes Store, try importing the tracks again or converting them in iTunes.

IPod 5G Freezes during Video Playback

iPod freezes during video playback. Does anybody else have this problem?
Usually freezes up about 10 minutes into a video, and then complety locks up. This usually requires 2 to 3 restarts untill it comes back working properly.

Mine does the same. It really only happens to me when I try to navigate thru menus when video is playing. I usually have to do a forced Reset. I truly think that introducing video on the iPod was not ready for primetime as it is very sluggish, buggy and sensitive during playbabck of video. No problems with music whatsoever but I am frustrated with the very finicky video qualities of this thing.
