No Sound Quicktime

I am having a rather odd issue with my macbook. I installed flip4mac on my machine to watch broadcasts which are in Windows Media Player. It is from this site: http://www.pm.gov.uk/output/page306.asp, it is quite boring without sound.
Does anyone know how I can play this video on my mac, without using Real Player (I don’t like it because it’s simply display advertisements on your screen and hijacks control of all media files).

There are some apps that are known to change the default MIDI settings and as a result, your sound will dissappear insome apps.
To fix it, simply open Garage Band and play a sample loop. If the changed MIDI defaults were the problem, GB resets those and your sound should return.
Apple has a KB article about it HERE.

No sound Quicktime Player

Have upgraded to Mac OS 10.6.3. on both my MacPro and my Macbook. Can play a .wmv or .mpeg but have no sound. They played OK before I upgraded. Any ideas as to why?

Make sure you have the latest versions of Flip4Mac & Perian. Repair permissions & restart your computer after the installation.

New Quicktime 7.1 - What are the changes exactly? I am looking...

May 11, 2006 - QuickTime 7.1 is an important release that delivers numerous bug fixes, support for iLife ’06, and H.264 performance improvements. This update is highly recommended for all QuickTime 7 users.
Thanks to Karl Peterson:
What’s new in QuickTime Player

Using VoiceOver, included with Mac OS X v10.4, visually impaired users can enjoy QuickTime Player features.
• All-new content guide
The all-new QuickTime Content Guide provides the latest in entertainment on the Internet.
• Easy access to QuickTime Pro
When you use the free QuickTime Player, features available only in QuickTime Pro display a “Pro” by their names. If you choose one of these items, you’ll see a definition of the feature and learn how to upgrade to QuickTime Pro.
QuickTime 7 Pro users enjoy not only all the great features in QuickTime Player, but also the following new QuickTime Pro capabilities:
• Record audio and video
With a digital video camera connected to your computer, you can quickly create vido postcards to share with family and friends.
• Share movies
Easily create a movie file for sending via email or posting to a website.
• Floating controls
Full-screen mode now provides floating DVD-like controls for easy access to functions like pause, play, fast-forward, and rewind. Move your mouse and the full-screen controller appears on the screen for several seconds.
• Create H.264 video
Use this codec for all your video encoding needs. Create content ranging in size from HD (high definition) to 3G (for mobile devices), and everything in between.
• Create surround audio
Create a rich multimedia experience for your customers by adding multi-channel audio to your movie. If some of your customers don’t have surround speakers, don’t worry; QuickTime automatically mixes the audio to work with the speaker setup of each user.
• Concurrent exports
Export multiple files at once—and continue with your next playback or editing task.
• Improved movie authoring
Editing tasks are much easier with new hot keys for in and out points. In addition, the Movie Properties interface has been completely redesigned to facilitate simple and efficient movie authoring.
• New AAC constant-quality mode
Create AAC audio files optimized for constant quality rather than a constant bit rate for a consistently high-quality listening experience.
• Conform to Aperture
View a movie’s aperture mode, and choose to have the movie conform to new aperture settings, including pixel shape.
• Deinterlace Source Video
When exporting with the Movie to QuickTime Movie option, you can now deinterlace the video by setting an option in Export Size settings.
• 3G streaming
Create 3G files for RTSP streaming that are fully interoperable with other 3G streaming handsets and delivery architectures.
• Automator-compliant
With Mac OS X v10.4, employ the easy-to-use interface of Automator for streamlining your QuickTime workflow. QuickTime 7 Pro users have exclusive access to a set of QuickTime-based Automator actions for easily automating such tasks as starting and stopping captures, hinting movies, enabling tracks, and more. The combination of Automator and QuickTime 7 Pro also lets you create your own set of personalized QuickTime-based Automator actions.
O.K. I found the new export options ROCK!

No sound after converting .mov to .wmv using QT Pro...

Any idea why this might happen? sound works fine in the mov file, but when I "Export" it as a .wmv -- video looks great, but no sound.

QuickTime Pro doesn't export to WMP formats without some third party software help. Try their forums:

Quicktime 7 Pro is unable to play or convert DIVX, or XVID video

Hello,
I have bought the Quicktime 7 Pro, to convert DIVX, or XVID video, to my IPOD video, but it is not working.
The Quicktime player can not recognise the video format, so the screen is blank when I want to play the video, and I have no sound (Quicktime recognises the audio format !).
When I convert the video to my IPOD video, I have the same behaviour.
Is it normal that Quicktime Pro works this way ? I can view the video with others player.
I have already checked if I have the latest version, for my video and sound driver, and it is.
If anyone can help me to understand thank you.
Cordially,
2fleurs

QuickTimeKirk is correct. If you cannot open or decode a particular movie, such movie cannot be exported with QuickTime Pro in the first place. DivX QT codec, which comes with DivX Converter, is required to decode and export DivX movies. Likewise, if you cannot open a multimedia file with QuickTime, it cannot be used with iTunes or Final Cut Pro, either, unless you change the default player. As for XviD, this gentleman offers a free QT codec. However, to my knowledge, QuickTime is able to decode XviD video without an additional component. But this codec is for Macs. So 2fleurs cannot use it, I guess.

Playing with no sound via Airport Express

Several posts over the past year have been archived with no answer to this question:
Why does iTunes 7.0.2 stop playings songs when both the computer and an Airtunes Remote (in my case connected via a base station) are selected for output?
Stops between songs
Plays a random number of songs between 1 and maybe 30
The next song is playing according to song progress bar
Pause and play restarts
Other sound (Quicktime movie or Safari sourced) plays
Audio MIDI Setup Line Out set to 44100 Hz (often changed by MPlayer which is not the self-billed greatest)
Computer is not trying to go to sleep
Aiport Admin Utility Wireless Options Multicast set to 2 (experimenting with 1) and Interference Robustness enabled (experimenting without)
Boot ROM MP11.005C.B04
Best guess: downstream of iTunes the audio output hardware negotiates with the network but when it gets a no-go flag clamps the stream from iTunes keeping it from even playing through the line out port. Possibly a firmware bug.

Not using Front Row.
The real issue here is that audio and video stream at different speeds and it is hard to maintain sync. You know how when you hit play within iTunes it takes a while for the song to start through the speakers? It's the same with the DVD. So you'd need to work an offset into the audio when playing a DVD and it's not an exact science.
You can download VLC player and mess around with the offset, then you'll also need a program like Airfoil to be able to force audio through the airport express.
Good luck!

Web Page Sound File Question

I built a web page years ago with an embedded sound file (.au) which would play when a photo was clicked. The sound would play while the page remained visible. Now when I launch the sound, QuickTime opens a new window with a player interface.
What has changed?
I'm using Netscape 7.2, but the same thing happens in Safari.
Internet Explorer still works the way it used to with a small QuickTime player bar appearing apart from the Browser.
Here's the link: http://www.margnat.com/chevette.html
Just click on the picture of the car.

Your problem is that you merely provided a link to the audio file; you didn't embed it in the page at all. The problem is that different browsers on different platforms with different audio players installed handle sound files in different ways. Some browsers will play the sound in the background, some will open a new page and play in a browser plug-in...as a page designer you really have no idea what is going to happen.
For that reason, when I have opted to embed audio in a web page, I usually put the audio file into a QuickTime wrapper so that I can use the QuickTime player plug-in. Here are two pages where I've supplied embedded audio--
http://capital2.capital.edu/admin-staff/dalthoff/adventures/tr2004/caml01.html
...and...
http://capital2.capital.edu/admin-staff/dalthoff/adventures/tr2006/ussfoma01.htm l
Either way, there is a QuickTime play button embedded on the page. It isn't the most efficient way to deliver audio, nor is it the most platform-agnostic, as it insures that QuickTime will play the clip regardless of the user's preference. But it has the advantage of being consistent: it will ALWAYS play in QuickTime on any browser that supports it.

5.1 import and export in FCP query

Actually at our recording studio we are making complete 5.1 surround mix for our regional movies.....now I have to import the 5.1 audio in FCP.....how to do it?....infact I even tried with another dvd....its audio was 5.1 but when I import the Files, audio doesnt come as 5.1 in FCP....any other way to import 5.1 in FCP?
Do I require soundcard to do that?
I'm Using Final Cut Pro 7.3 and the audio format is AC3.....Looking for some solution regarding this....

See thamnaul for some help but it's not exactly clear. I've never used 5.1 myself.
To configure Final Cut Pro for 5.1-channel surround sound monitoring using the Match Audio Outputs command
Import a multichannel surround sound QuickTime audio file into Final Cut Pro.Note: Final Cut Pro supports only surround sound audio files that contain the MPEG_5_1_A QuickTime audio track tag and whose channels are ordered in the following sequence: left and right, center, LFE, and left surround and right surround.
Edit the multichannel clip into the Timeline.In most cases, you should place the audio clip starting on track A1 in the sequence.
A clip with six linked clip items appears in the Timeline.
Choose Edit > Linked Selection, and make sure that a checkmark appears next to the Linked Selection menu item.
Select the clip in the Timeline.
Choose Sequence > Match Audio Outputs.
If Final Cut Pro alerts you that your sequence’s audio outputs will change, click OK.Final Cut Pro alerts you that your sequence’s audio outputs have changed to match the stereo and mono groupings of the selected clip items.
Verify the audio output assignment of each track by Control-clicking the Lock Track control or Auto Select control of each track and checking the audio output assignment in the Audio Outputs submenu of the shortcut menu.For more information, see Assigning Tracks in the Timeline to Audio Outputs.
Connect your 5.1-channel surround sound speaker system to the appropriate channels of your audio interface.
How Audio Outputs Are Assigned Automatically
Final Cut Pro automatically configures audio output busses according to the selected linked clip items in your sequence. This feature is often used with 5.1-channel surround sound clips, but keep in mind that Final Cut Pro supports only the following 5.1-channel surround sound format:
Tracks 1 and 2: Left and right
Track 3: Center
Track 4: Low-frequency effects (LFE)
Tracks 5 and 6: Left surround and right surround
Based on the clip items above, the Match Audio Outputs command would create the following audio output bus groups: stereo 1 and 2 (left and right), mono 3 (center), mono 4 (LFE), and stereo 5 and 6 (left surround and right surround).Here is how the sequence tracks would be assigned to the audio outputs:
Tracks 1 and 2 (left and right): Stereo output 1 and 2
Track 3 (center): Mono output 3
Track 4 (LFE): Mono output 4
Tracks 5 and 6 (left surround and right surround): Stereo output 5 and 6
Assigning More Audio Outputs Than Your Hardware Supports
You can assign more outputs than your current audio hardware supports, allowing you to open sequences with multichannel output settings on computers that don’t have professional audio interfaces connected.
If you select an audio output that exceeds the number of output channels of your audio interface, Final Cut Pro warns you that you will not hear tracks assigned to unavailable outputs. However, you are still allowed to use this preset. You may want to choose or create such a preset when:
You want to keep your project compatible with another editing system that does support all of the audio channels in the preset. For example, you might normally work on a system with eight audio output channels but need to edit part of your project on a portable computer that only has a built-in stereo output.
You want to export multiple individual AIFF files for use in another application. For example, you can export up to 24 individual audio files from your sequence by choosing an audio output preset with 24 output channels.
Monitoring 5.1-Channel Surround Sound
Final Cut Pro does not support multichannel surround sound mixing capabilities or editing of speaker assignments, but you can configure your system to monitor certain kinds of 5.1-channel surround sound audio files. If you have 5.1-channel surround sound files that have been mixed in another audio application such as Soundtrack Pro, you can import these files and then configure your audio outputs and hardware to monitor in surround sound.
Important: A multichannel audio interface and speaker system with at least six channels is required to monitor surround sound.
There are two ways of configuring your sequence audio outputs for 5.1-channel surround sound monitoring:
Use the 5.1 Monitoring audio preset: If you know in advance that you are going to edit a 5.1-channel surround sound file into your sequence, you can assign the 5.1 Monitoring audio preset to your sequence.
Use the Match Audio Outputs command: This command automatically configures your sequence audio outputs and track output assignments based on the currently selected audio clip in your sequence. You can select a 5.1-channel surround sound clip in your sequence and use the Match Audio Outputs command to automatically configure your sequence outputs.

Problem with sound in games requiring quicktime

I recently purchased CSI 1. I installed the game and the latest version of quicktime player. As soon as the game starts and the first character starts talking the game pauses as if loading and then plays for a second and pauses again for a few seconds. This intermittent sound problem makes it impossible to play the game as the freezing stops everything from functioning. I tried another game that requires quicktime to be installed and that game is pausing the same. Has anyone else had this problem? I have all the latest drivers installed for Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

Do you get any problems with sound in other (older) games? You didn't mention which drivers in particular you updated, but make sure the graphics card's ones are included.
With regards to Half Life 2, check out this page on the Steam site:
http://steampowered.custhelp.com/cgi...wYWdlPTE*&p_li=
If that page doesn't open correctly for you, just go to http://www.steampowered.com , then Support, and select Half Life 2 in the product list. It should be one of the first cases listed.

Updates to itunes 10.6.1.7 and quicktime 7.7.1 all the levels in any sound I play on my pc are distorted.

Since updating to itunes 10.6.1.7 and quicktime 7.7.1 (updated both at the same time so not sure which is causing the issue) all the levels in any sound I play on my pc are distorted. The main track in the sound file will be muffled or really soft such as the main vocals in a song. The secondary tracks (harmonies instrumentals etc) are really loud. I thought it was just iTunes, however EVERYTHING has been affected since this update. Windows media player and games, all with the same issue.
Any one experienced this and have any feeback on how to fix it?

problem solved after updating itunes to 10.6.3

Mail app no longer plays QuickTime sound files.

Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, I was able to play sound files attached to mail within the app.
In other words, if someone sent me a sound file, it would appear as a QuickTime sound within the body of the email and I could play it.
That was a very nice feature.
Now sound files will not play within the mail window. Instead, I need an external player such as QuickTime Player or iTunes.
How can I get that feature back?

What specific sound file types will not play as Mail attachments in Mountain Lion?
I just sent an .m4r (ringtone), mp3, and .m4a (iTunes aac music) files as Mail attachments. The first appeared as an icon that played via QuickLook from within Mail. The second two appeared as black, QuickTime styled, embedded music play bar attachments. They played back flawlessly.
Have you installed any application recently that may have hi-jacked the default QuickTime audio playback? It would have done so silently, or popped up a dialog requesting to perform the hi-jack on a list of music file formats.
You may have to select each particular audio file format in Finder Get Info and restore QuickTime in the Open with section on that panel.

I have a "welcome" sound byte on my web site, The Northern Bard. Whenever I open it in Firefox, there is a QuickTime crash and the sound byte doesn't play.

I have had a web site on Tripod since 1997. The opening page has Madeline Kahn doing the Lilly von Schtupp welcome from "Blazing Saddles", which plays on IE, Chrome, and other browsers, but NOT on Firefox. It's very annoying, when I keep getting updates from QuickTime on my desktop, to keep getting the "QuickTime has crashed" message, I keep REPEATEDLY sending crash reports, I've done all you tell me to do to get it to quit doing that, yet the problem continues.
How about either giving REAL solutions to the problem or fix whatever bug Firefox has up it's chimney so that people using Firefox to visit my web site can hear the music and sound bytes I programmed in to make my pages fun?

Please make sure that they are up to date [[Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems]]
Has the website been updated since it was created? It would be interesting to see if the way to implement background music has changed.
Do you also have any ad blocking software?[http://mzl.la/LL9mLw]

How do I open a Quicktime created wav file in other sound editing software?

A friend sent me three wav files created in QuickTime but they won't open in ANY sound editing software or players I have other than Quicktime. I need to use these for an upcoming podcast but can't do anything with them until I can open them with my editing software (WavPad Sound Editing).
Can someone please tell me how to do this?

On a Windows system you can't. There is a plugin codec for WMV for the Mac version of QuickTime, but not for Windows. You'll need to use other software.
Regards.

I have FCE 4.0.1 and running OS x 10.7.5 when i burn my movie the audio from my movie clips don't come through . My Sound effects and music can be heard. I export to Quicktime movie, make it self contained then open IDVD for an intro and burn it.

I have FCE 4.0.1 and running OS x 10.7.5 when i burn my movie the audio from my movie clips don't come through . My Sound effects and music can be heard. First I export to Quicktime movie, make it self contained then open IDVD for an intro and burn it. everything sounds great in preview but then ( once again)I lose my audio from my movie clips.

Try Mixing Down the audio before export.

Can't get sound in QuickTime - please help

Hi
I purchased the Quicktime pro and downloaded codecs from perian first - I tried playing an .avi file movie and got no sound. Then I downloaded codecs from DivX player site - and still no sound - video is fine.
I have sound using other formats and also when watching trailers on the internet
Thank You

You might try Perian plugin for QuickTime. I actually haven't come across anything since I've installed it to really try it out but it seems to be getting very good reviews everywhere I've seen it mentioned.
Obviously you're not going to be able to get Quicktime to play everything just like you can't get VLC or Windows Media Player or Real..... but you just kind of have to keep finding the proper plugins for all the various media out there.

No Sound Quicktime
