No sound with Quicktime 7

I have no sound when I play a .avi movie with Quicktime 7.6, I get the message that I require another component. However when directed to the website with components I DONT KNOW which component to download to get sound. Can someone please assist me with this.
thank you

Perian is third party software so you can't expect Apple to refer you to something it can't even be sure will exist (an in some cases didn't exist) when they write their error message in the program. It also could have been another third-party software issue. I think all Quicktime knows is that something is missing, but it can't tell you exactly what. Not that many of us find Apple's error messages all that informative at times, especially the numerical ones. At least this one was in English.

No sound with quicktime MPEG 2 program

I bought yesterday the Mpeg2 option. The problem is that the mpg files have no sound sound when i play them. Theses files come from windows recorded with a sony HD camera. If i use the program Mplayer ( freeware ) everything is ok. Can you tell me what can i do to have sound with quicktime mpeg2

Can you tell me what can i do to have sound with quicktime mpeg2
What Klaus1 is attempting to point out is that the Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback Component is a video only component. As such, the audio is compatible only if the audio format in the multiplexed file is already QT compatible with your system configuration. An MPEG file normally consists of MPEG-2 video (handled by the component you purchased) which is multiplexed with MPEG-1 layer audio (MP1, MP2, or MP3), AC3, or PCM audio. If all you want to do is make your file playable with audio in the QT X and/or QT 7 media player, then the easiest approach is to simply convert the non-playing audio compression format to one that is supported. In most cases that would be an MPEG file type containing MPEG-2 video (from the source file) re-multiplexed with MPEG-1, Layer 2 (MP2) audio. This is a very common combination compatible with both Mac and PC platforms.
Since you already have the Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback component installed, all you really need is the free MPEG Streamclip application. Simply open the file in MPEG Streamclip, select the "Convert to MPEG with MP2 audio..." option, and provide a new name for your target file. The Streamclip application will then de-mux the file, convert the audio (probably AC3) to MP2 audio, re-mux the MP2 audio with the original MPEG-2 video and copy it to the newly named MPEG file container. Since the video is not re-compressed by this action, the work flow is reasonably fast. Further, if you have a lot of files to convert, you can even set up a batch list of files to be converted. MPEG Streamclips is a very handy application and highly recommended if you plan to do much trimming/limited editing of MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 content on a Mac.

No sound with quicktime plug in on web pages

There's no sound when I play videos on web pages encoded with quicktime, however Flash videos, as on YouTube for example, do work. This seems to have happened recently, but I cannot pinpoint what caused it.
One solution I found and have tried, is setting the audio format in the Audio MIDI Set up, but it was already the recommended 44100 Hz.
Any ideas gratefully received.

Please provide a sample link/URL of the problematic web pages.
If you have Garage Band installed, open same & then quit out of the app.
If you have not already done so, try running repair permissions from your HD and afterwards run +repair disk+ from your software install DVD.

No Sound with QuickTime 7.0.4 video streams on Intel

I just ran the latest QuickTime software update (7.0.4 Pro) and now I get no sound when viewing streaming video. This only happens on my MacBook Pro. None of the PowerPC-based Macs that I've tried experience this issue. Any suggestions on troubleshooting this? Is there a way I can go back to 7.0.3?
Since updating to QuickTime 7.0.4, Real Player 10.0.0 has also lost its sound with streaming videos. I've also tried VLC (0.8.4 & the latest Intel build) but it isn't working properly on the MacBook yet.
Again, the video works fine, just no sound & this only effects streaming video.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5) 2.0 GHz, 2GB RAM, 7200RPM HD

Well then its not a component apparently... have you tried playing the stream with something other than QuickTime, such as MPlayer OSX?

No sound with QuickTime

Lately I’ve formatted my hard drive and reinstalled windows XP.
PROBLEM: Quicktime doesn’t seem to work properly anymore. The image is just right, but no sound can be heard at all. If I move the playback cursor, QuickTime player freeze and a sound loop endlessly until the program crash.
I don’t know what the cause is… I’ve reinstalled QuickTime tons of time but in vain. Windows XP updates don’t solve the problem either.
QuickTime is my favorite player; I would really like to find a solution.
Thank you!

You still there? I can't find a control panel for QuickTime. I have Windows Media Player and if I open the file with that I get sound. Is that a problem or a soluton for QuickTime? Thanks.

No option to export sound with quicktime

When i'm trying to export a video clip of various formats, all i'll get is the video, no audio. Upon investigation there is no option to export sound (the half of the settings is unclickable). I do have a sound card with correct drivers installed, and under quicktime preferances the correct device is selected. However, when i am playing a "QUICKTIME MOVIE" I can export with audio. Is there some sort of codec needed, or is there a setting i can change?

QuickTime Pro doesn't export audio from "muxed" formats (like MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash).
Use MPEG Streamclip (free) for your .mpg files.

No sound with my QuickTime

I am so frustrated with QuickTime. No sound and I've tried the check the box thing. What do I need to do to get the sound to work? Apple needs to step up and fix this problem.
Someone help. Please.

I had the same problem after converting some home movies to ipod format. I purchased the QuickTime Pro upgrade key... 30 **** bucks. Video quality looks great but no good use since there is no sound. I so want a refund but I thought I was the only one with the problem. I found a better program and guess what FREE (for files less than 5 minutes long....Great for home clips.) Its called ImToo Ipod movie converter. Works great and it ***** thats I had to pay for something I cant use. Maybe if they get enough complaints we get a refund or at least our money's worth.

I can not export imovie 11 to youtube. I tried exporting with quicktime so I could upload through youtube,but it had no sound. Very frustrating. When I upload through youtube it looks as if it is working, but I get no confirmation. Tried it many times.

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

I recorded audio with Quicktime player and the sound files won't disappear from the desktop no matter how I try to put them in the trash...

Just got rid of them... I closed Quicktime and was asked to delete. So I deleted them. Problem solved.

Sound problem with QuickTime .dv files exported from iMovie ~ help please

Hi
I have been working for ages on an important project which is intended to wind-up as a numbered edition DVD, limited to 50 copies.
When I worked in iMovie HD 5 this NEW PROBLEM didn't arise: I did what I thought was the right thing and bought iLife '06, then upgraded from the Apple site, so now I am using iMovie HD 6.0.1, iDVD 6.0.1 and QuickTime Player 7.0.4.
I've designed my own menus and the procedure as most anyone will know [thanks iCreate magazine!] is...you have to 'export' (or now 'share') the iMovie to QuickTime (or with QuickTime) which produces a .dv file which you then drag-and-drop into iDVD.
I've got 4 of these .dv files for the start-up and some menus.
THE PROBLEM IS whereas the sound (it's actually music) has been faded out (in synch with the image) ~ in iMovie everything seems fine ~ but THE QUICKTIME .dv FILES HAVE AN ANNOYING LITTLE "FLARE-UP" OF MUSIC AT THE END OF THEM.
Imported into iDVD, in preview: sure enough! ~ you hear the annoying, untidy-sounding snips at the end.
It's ruining my project ~ please help, someone!

I am having the exact problem, it's a real show stopper.
I have tested hardware, software, media as below.
Tested on
1 Intel 17inch iMac
2 G4 AGP 450 + 1.2Ghz Model
Each have a fresh install of iLife 06 on
Each have been tested with different project files.
Differnet music files
The issue seems to be with apples iLife software to me.
I am on the phone to apple right now, they only surgest I create a new user as it generates new prefs, but the above test has already rulled out preference files!
Also rebuilding and reinstalling, but again the above test has rulled that out as the 3 machines were freshly built.
I have already upgraded my graphics card in my machine at home to sort out preview problems with iMovie, hopefully it's not going to be an expensive audio card aswell.
If any 1 can throw any light on this please do as apple support can't.
Regards
Paul

Quicktime movies playing sound with no picture (only in firefox)

Hi There,
I'm having a weird issue with quicktime in firefox on apple macs. I'm not really familiar with macs and I was wondering if someone can offer a solution? When I visit the page in firefox on a mac the video plays sound but not the picture. This seems to happen to all firefox browsers that I have tested.
I have a test link here for people to look at. http://www.wellcom.net.au/quicktime.aspx

To Apple Discussions!
Thank you for providing the link for others to test for you. A got a flash video which I had no problem viewing with sound. The picture did take a few seconds to appear. However, the sound came in right away. Here is the direct video link: http://www.wellcom.net.au/images/movingimages/BookCity.mp4
Picture & sound was instant from the .mp4 link.
Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software, repair permissions & restart your computer.
If the above does not work, then please advise which version of FireFox you are using?

I am an Mac 10.6 Lion user? How do I convert a .ram file (for a bit of sound) into using with Quicktime?

Having difficulty with a .ram file. I want to convert it to use with Quicktime.
I also have realised however that my pupil for a lesson (the file is for language-lesson) does not have a Mac anyway, so maybe she won't have Quicktime. I can ask her to download the latter then.
But -however, the question remains, how can I hear the soundfile and make it compatible with Quicktime?
Sincerely,
Susan.

And just for clarity's sake. 10.6 is Snow Leopard; Lion is OS X 10.7. For future questions it will help if you are accurate in the version of Mac OS X you have.
Regards.

I have finished my project on Premiere Pro, but when i try to export with Quicktime it fails (sheep sound)

Hi i am in a bit of a sticky situation. I have finished a project in premeire pro and i wnat to export it with quicktime.
I have previously exported, when i used both after effets and premire pro together to make a video, exported it with quicktime and none(compressed) and it worked perfectly.
There were some minor changes and edits i needed to make, but when i was making these changes my 30 day trail had run out , so i used my brothers account who was also on a trial they was still valid.
After finalisng my work i attempted to export, again with the same settings: Quicktime, Uncompressed. but it has been failing on media encoder

RDA972, thanks for the reply.
Yes i am using a PC, i just wanted to ask before rebooting the laptop and disabling the Hyper threading,Is it possible to have a unfinalized Premier Pro project saved as a Adobe premier file on to my USB, then that saved file on the USB stick, inserted into a different Laptop that wasn't originally used to make the Premier Pro project, but has Adobe Media encoder and adobe creative cloud in the same version.
the reason i asked this is because this is my situation and i was wondering if the different Pc had anything to do with the exporting
