No sound from rented movies....WHY???

Purchased Apple Tv and set up just fine. Watched stuff from You tube no problem, watched movie previews no problem, watched trailers no problem, listened to music no problem, rented two movies for movie night with family and guess what...a problem. Seems that when you pay for a rental and it downloads through the Apple TV product you don't get the audio that should be with the movie...guess you have to pay extra for that?
Is this just another one of those great bad idea's that should have been figured out beforehand or am I just an unlucky SOB?

Firstly if you've not tried, unplug AppleTV2 and restart it - sometimes cure spurious faults.
Secondly try turning off Dolby Digital in audio Settings on AppleTV2 in case TV can't handle that.

  • No sound from rented movie

    I downloaded a movie from itunes and do not have any sound

    Is the movie still buffering? you may have a slow internet connection. Music files require far less bandwidth than movies.

  • HT4437 My Apple Tv will only mirror the sound from a movie I mirrored from my computer, but not the picture.How do I fix that?

    My Apple Tv will only the mirror the sound from a movie I mirrored from my Macbook Pro. How do I get the picture?

    Do you have a valid credit card associated with the account? If so then I would contact iTunes

  • Why do I have pictures but no sound on rented Movies?

    I recently set up my Apple TV on a new TV set (in the same house and on the same wireless network), everything works except when playing back rented movies there is no sound. Movie previews play normally with sound, also radio stations play normally, I'm really stuck, please help if you know how to fix this, Thanks J.

    Go to Settings for Audio and Video.
    Under the Dolby Digital entry, set this to Off or Auto.

  • Using sound from one Movie in another one

    I have one animation movie and I want the sounds from that one on another version of the movie (another file). How can I export or copy these sounds?

    Share your Project using SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME... and choose an audio only codec like AIFF. This will give you a sound file that you can use elsewhere.

  • No sound from .avi movies in QuickTime

    Hi -- I have two questions, really:
    1. Why no audio from .avi movies played in QuickTime?
    2. How do I install audio codecs?
    Thanks!

    The AVI container (invented and abandoned by its creator Microsoft) has been abused to no end by poorly informed users and its use should just die and go away as Microsoft intended when they introduced WMP.
    Use the Movie Info window of QuickTime Player to discover the audio codec used in the file.
    Use a Google search (codec name +Mac) to find a version that works on your OS. Most include an installer.

  • On rented movies, why do subtitles remain onscreen, even after the foreign language part is over?

    I've never had this problem before, until the last two movies I've rented. Subtitles come on during a foreign language part, and then remain onscreen indefinitely. I've turned off closed captioning on both my Apple TV and on my TV, to no avail.
    I would think the subtitles would be 'embedded' in the movie (as part of the movie image); these appear to be closed captioning, generated by the Apple TV or myTV.
    Pretty annoying. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thx

    I see the same problem. In fact you can see the movie if you click on the arrow next to the iPhone icon under "Devices" in iTunes. then click on "rented movies". the old movie will still be there, although you can't remove it or even un-check it. My guess is that it will delete itself after the rental period, but this is clearly a bug. To avoid this in the future I will try to move the video off my iphone before deleting.

  • Playback of sounds from flash movie files in authorware

    Ive imported a flash movie file into authorware but the sound
    is not playing back. In flash, I created a movie that includes
    graphics and sounds. The movie plays perfectly when I open the
    flash player but it doesnt play when imported into Authorware. Ive
    tried publishing the flash file as quicktime but had a problem with
    the handler on my computer. Does anyone have any
    suggestions?

    If you click the 'Options' button on the Property panel for
    the Flash
    movie, is the 'Playback > Sound' checkbox actually checked
    in the
    resulting dialog box?
    When published as QT, what does 'had a problem with the
    handler on my
    computer' mean? Do you have QT installed on the playback
    machine? Are
    you using Insert > Media > Quicktime?

  • NO SOUND iTunes rented movies

    The last 2 movies i have rented from iTunes and some of the movies I have bought will not play sound. I have checked all audio setting and downloaded the new version of iTunes and Quick Time. Why is this happening?? What do I do!

    no nothing! and now it's started asking me all the time for my password to authorize the computer for itunes, but I'm already authorized and after I enter the password, a message pops up that says something about "you are already registered" and ugh! no clue!

  • No sound from appple movie trailers ?

    why don't i have any sound when i log on to see a movie trailer ?

  • Sound from separate movie clips over laps.

    I have 4 buttons that each lead to 4 different frames with a gotoAndStop() command. Each of those frames has a movie clip on it. But for some reason the sound that I have triple checked plays from more than one movie clip. It's weird because the sound is only in the movie clips.
    Here are some pictures.

    Did you mean chance Dolby sound to "auto"? Under audio/video there are many options. I tried that but it didn't work and don't see any other options in there that could help
    Thanks,
    Chris
    "you can go to your apple tv settings and go to audio.video. change it from on to auto. some reason it will auto recognize for 5.1 and such"

  • No sound on rented movie

    Movie displays in video. A few muffled clunks from the subwoofer is all I hear. Movie trailers from iTunes also lack audio. Reboot no help. Audi fine for iTunes music, Hulu, netflix, web etc. Only iTunes movies affected.
    Have latest iTunes and QuickTime versions.

    Assume you've unplugged the unit. Try turning Dolby Digital on/off and also tweaking teh other sound setting on teh unit for HDMI (12 vs 8 bit from memory).

  • No sound from iTunes movie download, while playing on appletv, iPad, or other

    Downloaded a movie from iTunes.
    The video is fine; it displays on all iOS devices.
    However there is no sound while being played on any iOS device, appletv, iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, etc.
    How do I request another download that contains audio?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Howdy, ashkimber!
    It sounds like the iPad may have been muted.
    The following explains how to determine if it has, and also how to un-mute it.
    For what it's worth, this setting does only affect certain applications, and having it 'muted' will not mute ALL output from the iPad.
    iPad: Understanding the side switch

    Mute
    When you mute your iPad, only certain sounds are muted.
    Sounds such as alerts, notifications, sound effects, and game audio are muted.
    Media playback (such as music, podcasts, movies, videos, and TV shows) are not muted.
    Best regards,

  • No sound from itunes movies on Apple TV

    I've had this problem for the last few months.
    When I watch the trailer on ATV, the sound is fine. The sound also works great when we watch Netflix, Youtube or Video Podcasts.
    The issue comes when I purchase the movie on Itunes on Apple TV and stream it. No sound plays.
    Alternative: I downloaded the movie onto my laptop and used Airplay to view it on my TV.
    Result: no go. This hasn't worked either.
    Anybody have any ideas?
