No sound on FLV files

This is a problem that developed yesterday, and I have no idea what caused it to happen. I'm not getting any sound when I play flash-based video, like the ones from YouTube. I tried on Safari as well as Firefox, so the problem seems to be more with the computer than with the browser itself, but it ONLY happens with Flash-based videos.
The 'Get a Mac' ads from the Apple website are working as normal. iTunes is giving me sound, so is quicktime... everything associated with sound seems to be working all right... except when it comes to FLV-based videos.
This includes videos from sites such as youtube.com as well as newgrounds.com
And when I go to sites that offer two options for viewing videos (such as askaninja.com) the Quicktime video format works fine, but the Flash-based video gives NO sound.
Even my SWF/FMV Player doesn't have any sound. So I can't play the FLV-files that I have backed up on my hard-drive. I miss my videos. Please help!

Hey QuickTimeKirk, I appreciate the quick reply. I tried out your suggestion, but it didn't work. No worries though because another member of the Support Forum (Malcolm Rayfield) was able to provide the following solution...
Check the settings for your audio output device in Audio MIDI Setup (Utilities folder). They should be 44,100Hz, 16-bit, with the volume sliders to the right.
which turned out be solve the problem. Thanks for the suggestion though

  • I need to stop the sound in an .flv file I'm streaming

    Is there any param value... or anything else I can use to stop the sound in an .flv file I'm streaming from the server?
    I do not have the original video that the flv was created with... otherwise this would be a no brainer.
    I want to keep the video up but take away the sound.  Thanks much!

    AFAIK there's nothing in the server side API that would support that. You can, on the client side use NetStream.receiveAudio(false), but that won't prevent the server from serving audio... it just stops a particular client from subscribing to the audio
    Alternately, you can use FFMPEG to strip the audio channels out of the FLV.

    you can use the soundmixer's soundtransform to control all volume but, unless you have multiple sounds, you should probably use the netstream's soundtransform.
    in either case, to start your video with no sound, assign the volume property in you onMetaData function:
    function onMetaData(data:Object):void {
    var st:SoundTransform = videoStream.soundTransform;
    st.volume = 0;
    videoStream.soundTransform = st;

  • How do I convert an flv file to still images?

    This may sound stupid, but I have a downloaded flv file, and I want to use about
    8 seconds  to make still images so I can trace into Illustrator and then export it into Flash. (both are older versions).
    Is this possible?
    It is for an animinated logo.
    Thanx.

Change the a to an r so it reads .m4r Drag the file to the desktop, double click and it ends up in ringtones folder.
    That's it! Works every time. Or for those who want easier:

  • Winfile.cpp-759 error when exporting .flv files

    Hi,
    Just got over the P2 file problem (stopped using them in CS5, gone back to CS4) and a new problem has occured.
    I have been exporting .flv files since I first installed CS5, suddenly today Premiere crashes when trying to export individual .flv files and so does the media encoder.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    The given problem doesn't have the obvious cause. But it can be avoided.
    The problem emerges after Premiere import video clips with attached audio files, while 'confoming audio'. After the conforming, the 'broken' audio files cannot be heard with playback, or incorporated in export.
    There are two solutions to this problem.
    First: While ripping material, or importnig previously ripped material, import separately audio and video data.
    Second: If you, while working, run into audio stream that doesn't hear ( because of the given 'conforming' ), edit audio of original clip in some sound editing program ( Adobe SoundBooth, for instance ) by cuting it to new file, resampling it, saving to *.wav ( for example ) and importing it to your Premiere project, replacing the broken audio data.
    That should do the trick. At least, it did it for me.
    Cheers!

  • No sound in swf file

    I need to resize an flv file. I opened it in Flash and embedded it as a movie clip in the timeline. I also embedded into the timeline frame sequence. I was able to resize the file successfully. When I preview publish it as a swf file, it plays with sound in Flash. When I export the clip to a flv file, it doesn't play with sound. I have also tried to convert the flash from swf back to flv using After Effects, but there is no sound either in AE and when I play the converted file in Adobe Media Player. I am stumped on how to get any sounds from this file and appreciate any help I could get.

    Have you asked Maps Marker Pro for support for their product?

    Chances are you need specific code for Gecko based browsers, which might need different code than Trident, WebKit, and Blink based browsers use.

  • New to Soundbooth....How can I export audio from a .flv file?

    Hi,
    I am sorta new to SB.  My girlfriend has purchased a study program that has numerous .flv files on a DVD.  She has asked if I can take the audio and convert each movie to an .mp3, (so that she can listen to the videos on her Iphone).  I figured I could open them in SB and then export as an .mp3, which would work fine on her Iphone.
    The problem I run into is that when I open the .flv files in SB, the video appears, but the audio doesnot.  The .flv videos play fine in every other program.  Am I doing something wrong?  I figure since she purchased the DVDs (and owns the study program), that I am not doing anything illegal by removing the audio.  Are they encrypted?
    Any other way to do this?
    Thanks,
    G

    Use the Share menu. Choose Export Using QuickTime.
    Choose Sound to AIFF.

  • Adobe flash player only works with a few flv file.

    When I installed Firefox 4.0b10 I can only play half of the flv files on the upgrade. I've reinstalled adobe flash player now I get sound but no video.

    Chrome has its own Flash Player built in by Google. It functions independently of the ActiveX plug-in for IE.
    See: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448  and  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968  to be sure it's properly enabled and the ActiveX filtering isn't blocking Flash.

  • Processing flv files?

    Can I process a flv file with Audition? Thanks.

    Try it. no.
    FLV (Flash Video) is designed as an end-of-the-line delivery format. Not only compressed, but sealed to the extent of not being able to even play it back as a single file. This to offer some protection for copyright holders; for a long while you couldn't even edit it in any video editor. The 'hacking' performed by for instance the VLC Media Player was controversial at first, but now you can play them in Adobe's own Media Player even.
    To get to the sound you need to either record it as "what U hear" from the soundcard (different brands have different names for this, and quite a few doesn't have this functionality at all), or somehow convert the video to a different format that is acceptable to Audition. VLC can help you here. This will not be the same and extracting audio from the video, and re-inseriting it to the stream again as you can do with so many other formats in Audition. It means a new full round of compression, which most likely the video or the audio or both will suffer from. As said, an end-of-line format.
    Adobe seems to give up the 'Sealed' concept of the format, for good and bad, so I wouldn't be surprised to see surpport for this in an update of Audition / Audition 4.

  • Help with .flv files

    Hello,
    I have some .FLV files that I need to convert for a DVD. I would like to go straight to mpeg2 but all the things I have tried have not worked.
    I may be away from the computer until tuesday so I will respond then.
    Is there a way to play these files in FCP?
    any suggestions are more than welcome.

    Thanks,
    I actually did the Flash timeline export, but I need the sound.
    Does anyone know if ther is a way to get the sound of the file without recording it in real time?

  • FLV files

    Ok, this is probably a silly question. I have some FLV files
    given to me by someone else. I also have Adobe Flash CS3. Everytime
    I try to open one of the FLV files in Flash, it takes me through a
    short wizard(I choose progressive download) and then displays the
    main Flash screen.
    Whenever I try to test the movie, or publish the movie, I get
    nothing. Am I doing something wrong? How do I work with these FLV
    files?
    Thanks

    If you have QuickTime Pro, and you download and install the Perian component for QuickTime:
    http://perian.org/
    you can open an .flv file in QuickTime Player, then do a Save as self-contained movie and it becomes a .mov file, with an mpeg 3 sound track, and a Sorenson H263 video track. They aren't very big, 320x240, and when you play them on a 17" monitor or TV you can see a lot of compression artifacts.

  • Editing flv files in flash

    I have a long video in flv format that I want to break up
    into smaller chunks. Is it possible to do this in Flash cs3 and
    how?
    thanks.

    From your description, it sounds like all of the loaded
    movies, are loaded in at the start of the first Flash movie.
    Additionally, in this 6.swf movie, the first .flv file is set to
    begin to play as soon as that movie is loaded. That's why you are
    hearing the sound track playing when the first movie loads.
    You can fix this by changing the code in 6.swf so that the
    first movie doesn't begin to stream/play when it loads. If there is
    a button to play this movie then this should be a trivial task.
    Another option is to not load 6.swf when the first movie starts,
    but to wait until 6.swf is called to be shown.

  • Audio quality degraded when imprting FLV file to Flash FLA

    Hi,
    I have created a FLV file using Adobe Media Encoder CS5.
    I have played it back on Several Media players and it sound fine.
    I import it into a Scene in Flash CS5 aand when I preview the Scene the audio has degraded and sounds terrible.
    The audio is mono at 48 kbps.
    I cannot find any controls or options to edit the audio of the video.
    I have rendered it out several times using different settings but it alway plays back the same highly compressed tinny sound.
    Any advise?

    Try with your publish settings in flash to adjust your audio quality while publishing, look into the below screenshot:

  • Working with preloader and FLV files

    I am able to get the Flash preloader working with say an image like JPG but when I attempt to have the preloader load a video it doesn't work. I read that in order to use a FLV file it needs to be embedded into a SWF file so preloader can work with it. One issue with embedding the FLV file into the SWF is the sound does not match up with video after that conversion which can kinda be fixed by changing the FPS.
    Needless to say I have not been able to get this working correctly. I am not sure if there is a work around for this issue.
    Thanks for all the help out there.

    Here is my code
    var imageURL:String = "vid12.SWF";

    progressBar.source = uiLoader;

  • FLV FILES IN FLASH SITE DESIGN

    Can anyone give me some suggestions, I am using a flash
    template that has 7 separate flash files (1.fla; 2.fla;3fla; etc.)
    that feed into the 1.fla/1.swf/1.index.html flash page. I have
    incorporated a small movie with no sound into the swf.1 file and
    then the rest of the files have simple text but in the 6.swf file I
    utilized another template by Dan Carr which he put up on this site
    that has an flv movie player with 5 flv files. I have no problem
    with this template it works wonderfully, the problem is it opens
    and play independently but it is 6.swf and when I open my
    1.swf/1.index.html file the voice from the first movie in my 6.swf
    file plays. The movie sound that plays from my 6.swf file is the
    first flv movie on that page which has 4 other flv movie files. I
    don't understand why the sound track for that flv file is playing
    in my homepage or 1.swf file. Expermenting, I took the voice out of
    that first flv movie player and with the voice/soundtrack out of
    the first flv/movie in 6.swf then no other sounds carry forward to
    the homepage or the 1.swf/1.html page. But I want to keep all 5
    movies in my 6.swf file/movie player and not start that file with a
    blank flv spot and then 4 other movies. I would appreciate any
    suggestions.
