No sound when previewing music or movies in Finder

Hello everybody,
I recently had my hard drive crash and had to get a replacement drive, reinstall windows, and migrate my backup clone back to the hard drive. Everything is running fine, except for some reason I can't hear any sound, or see any video when previewing movies or mp3s in preview. The time marker moves to the right, but there is no sound or video. Sound works in itunes and in Quick time, but not in the preview? Any suggestions?

OK, i was so used to resinstalling windows that I referred to OSX as windows in my original post. Please forgive me!

  • Can't play or preview music and movies in Finder window

    I notice I can't play or preview music in the finder window. When I hit "play", the slider moves, but I don't hear any sound. Music is playing fine in iTunes. I also can't preview and play movies in the finder, like .mov files. In addition, I can't play music in a slideshow in iPhoto. It is also mute there. Does anyone know what is wrong? I just got this MacBook and had done a firewire transfer of my application files from my iMac desktop. All the programs seem to be working fine except for this music and video problem. Is there a problem with quicktime?
    Thanks.

    Run Audio MIDI Setup (Utilities folder) and be sure output is set to 44,100Hz 16-bit, and the volume sliders are to the right.

  • Hp stream 13 buzzing sound when playing music and watching videos/movies.

    I recently bought my HP Stream 13 and everything was fine. Suddenly, whenever I watch or listen to music online and offline, I get this buzzing sound from my speaker. Even through my headphones and when I connect to a TV Monitor through HDMI. It's really gettting annoying. Please help.

    Hi @21coldones ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Stream 13 buzzing sound when playing music. Have you restarted the Notebook without the headphones and external HDMI removed?
    Here is a link to resolve headphone and speaker issues in Windows 8. Using the Microsoft troubleshooting tool to be the most helpful.
    Please make sure your updates have been done on the Notebook. In the device manager under sound right click and update the driver. Here is another step to try.
    1. Right click the Speaker icon in the bottom right corner by your time.
    2. Click Playback Devices.
    3. Click Speakers/Headphones.
    4. Click Properties.
    5. Click the Advanced tab on the Properties window.
    6. Change the Default Format drop-down to the highest quality.
    7. Apply the properties.
    8. Click OK to close the properties window.
    9. Click OK to close the Playback Devices.
    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase.
    Hope this helps with the sound.
    Thanks.

  • TS1702 Iphone 4s io6.1 no audio when playing music and movies

    Iphone 4s io6.1 no audio when playing music and movies?

    Clean the dock connector and headphone jack.  Lint or debris in either of this could cause this issue.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.

  • My iPhone 4 has no sound when playing music or videos-help please?!

    Hi - my phone has stopped having any sound when playing music or videos, no volume bar either. No key noises either - but I can live without those!! I can hear sound through headphones, though sometimes that's intermittent. I have tried cleaning ports, restarting it, restoring it, pressing right hand corner of screen, taking headphones in and out repeatedly, pressing speaker twice whilst making call, blowing air into charging port, flicking volume switch on and off on side etc yet nothing has worked. Please can anyone else help? Apple want £135 plus vat to service it which isn't worth it in my opinion!

    Is the mute switch on?
    Is Do Not Disturb mode enabled?

  • I have no sound when playing music but ringtones and speak phone works!

    I have an iPhone 4s and all of a sudden I cannot hear any sound when playing music or watching tv etc via my phone but I can hear my ringtone and text etc and I can also hear calls if I place them on speakerphone!
    I have performed a hard reset and also plugged my phone into iTunes but this still hasn't solved the problem.
    Unfortunately my phone has a cracked screen....totally unrelated to the sound problem as everything was working fine after I dropped the phone, however, as I have been informed, this has now invalidated the warranty from apple, even though I am not asking them to fix the screen, just the speaker, therefor I am not entitled to a new phone from apple! Anyway.....if anyone out there can help me in anyway, or can suggest anything that I can try to fix this problem, please, please let me know.
    Many thanks in advance.

    My headphones work by the way.
    Also, when I try to increase, or decrease the volume when playing music or trying to listen to something....even my videos, the buttons on the side do not adjust the volume or attempt to adjust it. I have gone into settings and sound and made sure my phone is not on mute and made sure the setting is checked so that the buttons on the side control the volume! I just don't know what to do!

  • No sound when playing music iPhone 4s and not charging right on some chargers.

    No sound when Playing music on iPhone 4s and issues charging on some chargers. This below worked for me - Thanks.
    No sound only when playing music. 2013 11:05 PM.  My wife had the same issue with her iPhone 4.  The volume bar was grey inside the music app and the volume buttons on side of phone didn't work.  Cleaned out the charging port using rubbing achoal and a Q-Tip.

    Hi
    I have the same problem. iPhone 4S with newest update. No sound while playing music (grey volume buttons). No sound for alerts e.g. incoming SMS.
    Total reset does not help. Restore from iTunes Backup helps, but sound only available for some minutes (can play music direct form iPhone, without ear-phone)
    Issues is still open. All contact cleaned (ear-phone etc.)
    Please help.
    With kind regards,

  • No sound when playing music and video on the new iphone 3gs (32gb)

    I have a problem with no sound when playing music or watching video both on the ipod part of the phone and when watching youtube videos, all other sounds are working fine on the phone(eg Apps, phone calls/rings and system sounds. If i reset the phone everything apears to work fine again for the first minute or so but when i stop a video or tune for a second and try going back to it, the sound is gone again. All settings are fine. Anyone having the same problem or any idea how to fix it?
    Thanks

    You could try either a Backup Restore or a Clean Restore. I usually do a CR with MobileMe as the restore source. Afterwards I reload the music, videos and apps.
    It could be a sound playing bug like the Bluetooth bug that bites me now and then (audio stops and goes once in a while, audio gaps in the video if the video is paused, and videos recorded have the audio very quiet).

  • No sound when using Airplay for Movies on Apple TV

    For reasons unknow, when I try to stream full length movies (Lion King and Nemo bought from iTunes) from my iPhone or Macbook Pro using Airplay, there is no sound.  When I stream smaller movies, like Boundin' the Pixar Short, there is no problem.
    Side note 1: Why do purchased movies not show up like purchased TV shows on Apple TV?  I feel like I shouldn't have to use Airplay for movies if I don't need to use it for TV shows I buy.
    Side note 2: For some Netflix movies played directly from Apple TV there is no sound.  Other movies work fine and the movies that work or don't work seem to change day to day.
    Thanks for your help.

    Apple has not negotiated the rights to allow this is the assumed reason.
    We can't even play Purchased music or TV Shows from the cloud in UK.

  • No sound when previewing with ADVC300 and iMovie11

    Folks,
    I get no sound when I am PREVIEWING a VHS tape running through my new ADVC300. When I go to import a clip off the VHS tape, again I have no sound. However when I play that same clip in the Event Library, it plays just fine WITH SOUND.
    I am open to suggestions.

    When I go to import a clip off the VHS tape, again I have no sound.
    That is normal with iMovie 08 - 11.
    For making a DVD from a VHS tape, I use iMovie 06, an ADVC300 and iDVD 11.
    There is a regresssion in quality of the image between iMovie 06 and iMovie 08 through 11.
    The difference is the single field processing used by iMovie 11 (for faster editing) and the fact that it throws out every other horizontal line.
    Final Cut Express and Adobe Premiere Elements 9 will give full quality but are more complicated to use.
    Your workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, iMovie '06 is better suited. Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels, aspect ratio, and original quality.
    iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 is a 100% "lossless" combination and my DVD's look like they came from Hollywood!

  • No sound when previewing my projects in imovie

    on my mac 10.6.8 My imovie project suddenly has no sound when I preview it, I also did a few voice overs and they do not play and there is a yellow warning exlamation point on them...they suddenly appeared. I didnt change anything, this just suddenly happened

    I have three movies digitally downloaded through iTunes. While using my MacBook Pro, when playing the movies through iTunes, if the picture is small I have sound, but as soon as I expand the picture to full screen I lose all sound. I have tried the toggle and made sure my volume is up on my computer and that mute is off. It used to play on full screen, but not any more. I don't know if this is due to the latest iTunes update or if I am doing something wrong. It's just odd that it plays as a small picture, but not in full screen mode. Please advise.

  • Unable to hear sound when playing Music Sampler from website

    Hi
    I am unable to hear any sound when trying to listen to music samples on Amazon (for example) and also other websites. I have enabled Firewall to all the internet player, which does launch and start playing but there is no sound.
    The volume is definately up on the speakers and I have tested Windows Media Player and it plays radio and other music on my pc perfectly well. So I am unsure as to why I cannot hear the music samples from websites now (I have done in the past).
    An example of a link which has music sample is http://www.amazon.ca/Madeleine-Peyroux-Careless-Love/dp/B0002NRRAG
    Please can you let me know your comments about this problem.
    Thank you

    Hi
    Did you check if the Wave volume control in the Sound and audio devices was set to higher level???
    This control is responsible for the sound volume of any music files.

  • Crackling and popping sound when playing music and watching youtube videos

    there is a crackling and popping sound when i watch videos on youtube or play music/videos  using vlc media player  and windows media player. recently it has gotten to a point where it happens when windows is starting up or even when the laptop is required to play a sound for example when i plug in a removeable hardware such as thumbdrives

    Hi @donnabail ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP 2000 Notebook and getting a buzzing or popping sound while playing music and watching Youtube videos. Try performing a hard reset.
    When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook that might have caused this.
    You can try this
    1. Right click the Speaker icon in the bottom right corner.
    2. Click Playback Devices.
    3. Click Speakers.
    4. Click properties.
    5. Click the advanced tab on the Properties window.
    6. Change the Default Format drop-down to the highest quality.
    7. Apply the properties.
    8. Click OK to close the properties window.
    What happens if you right click on the video while playing a video and take the check out of hardware acceleration. Shut the browser down and restart the notebook.
    Have you checked for an update on the Active X.
    Please let me know how this goes.
    Thanks.

  • No sound when playing Blu ray movies

    I just recently got Direct TV and now my tv has no sound when playing my Blu ray movies. I have a LCD 32 inch 32C100U1 model tv and a LG Blu ray player. When I look for audio on the TV menu I only see HDMI 1 sound and my Blu ray is hooked up to HDMI 2 input. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
