No sound with video conference. Mics and speakers work fine however.
Howdy
My buddy and I were trying to set up a video chat on our new MacBook Pros, but there was no sound. Video came through great though.
We know our microphone and speaker settings work fine though because we were able to set up an audio conference. The audio came through loud and clear for the audio connection. For some reason, however, when we connected a video conference, the sound went away. The connection doctor said audio quality was at zero for both of us during a video connection, but the audio quality was up near 100% during an audio connection.
Furthermore, that same day I was successfully using video conference chats at work where the sound came through fine. The online help only gives tips for how to adjust your microphone and speaker settings, but I know that's not our problem.
I'm logged onto iChat using an AIM account, and my buddy was using a .Mac account. I don't know if that would have anything to do with it, but we're going to try again this weekend after I get my .Mac account up and running.
Anyone have other suggestions for what we can try?
Thanks for taking the time to help!
Hey Tony
Thanks for the tips! My buddy and I tried to connect again this evening, but we still have the same problem. Video by itself just fine and audio by itself, but not the two together. We tried using AIM acount to AIM account and then .Mac account to .Mac account. We changed all the settings you sugested, but still no luck.
Any other ideas of what we might try?

I bought the company unlocked phone from apple store Canada. It was originally loaded with software 4.2 and was working fine here in SaudiArabia. Yesterday I updated with IOS 5.0.1. Now it is showing that sim is not valid. The same sim works fine in other phones.
Here's and update on my problems and here are are some screen shots of the types of problems I've been having since the v5.0.1 update. Keep in mind these are native apps and I have tried the rebuild phone crap many times, nothing helps.
This is screen shot of a what happened when I tried to use my camera one day, both the front and back cameras were all black. I had to power cycle the phone to get rid of this problem. The cameras appeared to be working correctly, I could focus and zoom but it was all black.
Here is an image of what happened when I searched for something in a map. This is after I picked the choice I wanted, the keyboard disappeared but the list didn't. I had to force close the app and restart it for this problem to go away. Who knew five bars on ATT was possible.
And finally this is the messaging app, although you would not know it. I had to return to home screen (after a long pause for it to process the button push) and return to the messaging app. This happens all the time with the messaging app and the notifications sounds drive me crazy. If i'm using the phone, say browsing the web and I get an incoming message its almost 100% of the time the messaging app will screw up. The sound will play at the wrong time or not at all, message will show up in notifications and diasapear in message app or Ill have a problem like this: -
my iPhone 5 doesn't send any text messages or i messages and the problem isn't with the sim card as i tried it with another iPhone 5 and it worked fine.
OK. Thanks for sharing.
Have a nice day. -
id also like to mention that before it stopped giving me the option to use airplay on my iphone, i had disconnected my apple tv because it was in the sun while i was watching it, and a message popped up saying "temperature: your apple tv is over heating. this message will dissapear when your apple tv is ready,"
Take it in to Apple

How to combine sound with video to an AVI Using IMAQ?
I need to combine sound with video I capture and write it out as an AVI. Is there anyway in Labview to combine sound with and AVI? Or an easy to use third party product?
Hello,
The AVI tools that are provided with Vision allow for data to be added to your video. Sound information can be stored this way, but if you are looking for a way to add audio support to your video (such that it will play the sound file when the video is played in Windows Media Player or other applications) you may want to look into finding a shareware or freeware product that can accomplish this. LabVIEW does not have tools specifically targetted to this operation.
Good luck,

Screen Recording with ffmpeg/recording mic and speaker output
I've been doing much research on this, and to be honest A/V editing is not my strong suit. I use a script I wrote two days ago to initiate both screen recording with ffmpeg and compiling the resulting mkv file with ffmpeg as well. The entire script can be seen here:
#!/bin/bash
#Create function to exit program
function quite {
if [ $ANSWER3 = "y" ]; then
exit
else
exit
fi
#Create function to start ffmpeg record
function record {
if [ $ANSWER = "y" ]; then
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1366x768 -i :0.0 -acodec aac -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -strict -2 -crf 0 -threads 0 $ORIGINALNAME
else
if [ $ANSWER = "n" ]; then
echo "Would you like to convert an existing input file? (y/n)"
read ANSWER4
if [ $ANSWER4 = "y" ]; then
ffmpeg -i $ORIGINALNAME -vcodec libx264 -acodec aac -ab 128k -crf 22 -strict -2 -threads 0 $OUTPUTFILE
echo "The program will now exit"
read
exit
else
exit
fi
else
exit
fi
fi
#Function to convert the recorded video
function convert {
if [ $ANSWER2 = "y" ]; then
ffmpeg -i $ORIGINALNAME -vcodec libx264 -acodec aac -ab 128k -crf 22 -strict -2 -threads 0 $OUTPUTFILE
else
exit
fi
#Change to Screen Record directory in My Videos
cd ~/My\ Videos/Screen\ Record/
#Clear screen, and ask for input on what to name the origional file and the converted file
clear
echo "Please, enter the name of your file followed by .mkv"
read ORIGINALNAME
echo "You're files name is $ORIGINALNAME!"
echo "Please, enter name of the output file followed by .mp4"
read OUTPUTFILE
echo "You're final file is $OUTPUTFILE!"
clear
#Prompt for continuing with recording
echo "Would you like to continue with screen recording?[y/n]"
read ANSWER
clear
#Run the record function
record
#Prompt for converting the created video
echo "Would you like to convert the file now?"
read ANSWER2
clear
#Run convert function
convert
#Prompt to close command
echo "Operation finished, all done."
echo "The program will now exit."
read ANSWER3
For simplicities sake, and because I don't think there's a real problem with my script but something else, here's the two ffmpeg scripts from the above script:
recorder
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1366x768 -i :0.0 -acodec aac -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -strict -2 -crf 0 -threads 0 $ORIGINALNAME
compiler
ffmpeg -i $ORIGINALNAME -vcodec libx264 -acodec aac -ab 128k -crf 22 -strict -2 -threads 0 $OUTPUTFILE
Anyway, I have pavucontrol used to set the recording input after I've started recording. I want to be able to record the sound of my voice on my usb headset (which works fine) and be able to hear the sound of music or a youtube video I'm also playing during the recording. I've seen the loopback mixer from Alsamixer gui and the input, output, and record tabs in pulseaudio mixer. To be honest, after researching all this stuff in ffmpeg (which is a ocmplicated program) and whatever amix, dmix, and some other programs I'm not sure what are, I have no idea where to go anymore. I'd continue researching, but I'm only getting more confused the further I go. I'm extremely willing to learn and will follow any instructions you give to help me out. I don't just want to do this one task, like how I learned enough to write a script file, I want to be able to tweak ffmpeg to suit my needs for any purpose it can be used for. This is my first step to being able to do that. Thanks ahead of time for your help.OK, I've manages to learn enough about jack to not break my system and can work with that, Pulseaudio, and alsa is always installed. Is there a way I can create a virtual device that takes in the input from both the system sound and the headset mic that I can set as the audio input for ffmpeg? I've been looking online and I've got a headache at this point from trying. I have learned to use ffmpeg on a new level, but I still can't do what I want to do. (which is record sound from the headset mic and the system sound at the same time while using ffmpeg. I could make two audio files from each channel and record the screen with x11grab. then combine all that using another utility, but then I have to run three separate programs at the same time (which will eat up my cpu) and still run whatever I'm recording from my screen. Something that will do all this for me would be much appreciated.

Why can't I import sound with video into iMovie from digital camera?
This is disturbing. I have a digital video camera that took great video + sound. I import into iMovie (using my DV cable that came with the camera) and get video but no sound.
Now, in the past the sound came in, but no longer. Any and all advise is requested. I have to make number videos of lectures starting Wednesday evening and have to be able to provide video with audio.
Thanks.Try importing video shot with the camera's internal
microphone. If that doesn't work either, the mic is
not the problem.
I have no problem importing sound with video when using the internal video camera mic. No problem (other than sound quality issues with the speaker being 40 feet away from the camera's internal mic!
But I can play back the video made with the external mic in the camera and the sound is stunningly clear, crisp and loud. It's just a matter of getting it out of the camera into my Mac. I don't think it's the microphone; it must be the computer.
I just find it sad to believe that Apple's software is so limited--even in Final Cut Express HD. -
my sound won't work on my ipod 5. I plugged the speakers in and it works fine. When the headphones aren't plugged in and I turn the volume up it says that they are plugged in. Please help !
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. (this was already sugested) There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?
Looking at the details for this mic, it appears that the app has to have the option to use the internal specak when a mic is plugged into the headphone jack. Specifically:
NOTE: When MityMic is plugged into your iPod/iPhone you won’t be able to use the onboard speaker for sound output. You must remove the MityMic then play back your recordings. (The Skype app has an option to enable the onboard speaker even when the mic is plugged in, so you could use MityMic for placing Skype calls. However most other apps do not have this function.)

Ventrilo Mic Hiss with high quality Mic and X-Fi Titanium PCI-E
?Ventrilo Mic Hiss with high quality Mic and X-Fi Titanium PCI-E? I have <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.astrogaming.com/products/detail/4/A40-Headset/]this headset.[/url]? It works perfectly on other setups and is a very high quality headset.
Recently, I installed the X-fi Titanium PCI-E card. Everything sounds great and my mic works well in other programs and games, however, when talkin in ventrilo there is?a noticeable high pitch?microphone hiss. The hiss goes away when I put my fist around the mic, but I can't exactly talk like that. Plus putting foam around the mic doesn't make it go away.
The headset works fine on other setups so it is not at fault. It's almost like there is a mic boost on, but there doesn't seem to be a mic boost feature in the Creative Console.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Intel Core I7 920 @ 3.4ghz
6GB RAM
4870x2 GPU
Asus P6T Deluxe MOBO
Creative Sound Blast X-Fi Titanium PCI-E
Any ideas. I've tried everything. I used to exact same ventrilo settings on another computer and have had no problems, so it is not ventrilo and is not the mic. It has to be something wrong with the sound card.
ThanksTurned my T.V. off and the hiss went away.
Must have been some sort of interference. -
I've just rented Monsters vs Aliens on my Apple TV 3 and once we switched to default language - Russian we have experienced major lag in sound, apx. 1 sec delay with the picture. English soundtrack works fine, once we put Russian back - the delay is back. How can this be fixed? Please advise. Thank you in advance.
PS. Just bought the Monster's Inc. and Russian soundtrack works fine.Agreed! This bug with the ringtone delay (№4.1) is really annoying

I'm having problems with videos, they shake and the images break up back and forth into striped colors, how do I fix this?
1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=3754

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again -
Hello, please help, my interface is connected to the microphone and when i open Logic 9 it does´t work. But I opened garageband to check and it works fine. I can record voice with any effect... With Logic i see the sound passes in the interface but does not arrive in Logic. The Loops works fine and i can hear. Is just the sound to record the voice it does not work. What can i do ??? I used Logic before in the same computer and it worked fine. Thank you so much, I´m a begginer recording myself.
Make sure you go into preferences in Logic and set the audio input to be your interface and the audio output to be either built in output or the interface, if that is hooked up to something else. It sounds like Garageband has the audio interface set as the input but not Logic.
Also make sure you close all other applications except Logic to ensure it is not running in slave mode... -
I watched a video on my iphone, and it worked fine.
I wanted to watch it on our MacBook for sound and clarity, and every time I accessed it, it locked up. To the point that the only solution was holding down the power button.
Everything else worked, and I could freely enter information and open other Facebook entries, but when hitting the "play" button or clicking on the video it immediately bought up the spinning beach ball, and would never clear. Any solutions?Did you try viewing the video in a different browser? Firefox or Chrome maybe?

Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.
