PE8 unable to play 5.1 sound from an imported .m2ts

I import an .1080i 5.1 m2ts into PE8 and drag it onto the timeline. The video lays out ok and the audio track indicates 5.1. However, no sound track is displayed and no sound occurs during playback. The m2ts plays fine from Windows Media Player. I completely wiped my machine back to factory Win7 HP and the latest MS updates with a fresh install of PE8.0.1 but still no sound. I've tried two presets: NTSC/AVCHD/Full 1080i 30 5.1 channel and 1080i 30 5.1 channel with no luck. What am I doing wrong?
1080i 5.1 recording is stored on a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HDC PVR STB. STB is connected via component video and optical audio cable to Hauppauge HD-PVR. .m2ts is created using Total Media Extreme video capture from STB playback through HD-PVR. Workstation is a Gateway NV7923u laptop i5 M430 2.27GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD (300GB free), Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Did you create a New Project with the AVCHD - 5.1 SS Audio Preset?
If so, then the Audio should go onto Audio 1 Track. If not, then it will go to a higher numbered Audio Track, and you will need to scroll the Timeline vertically to see that Audio Clip.
Also, when you Imported that Clip, did you allow it to Conform the Audio? This ARTICLE will give you some background.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - note that the above is for editing in Timeline View Mode, and not in Sceneline View Mode.

Why doesnt it play the synthesized sounds from my Keyboard in garageband

why wont garageband play all my cool sound effects from my keyboard? Its just outputing the grand piano. and I can then change it using the preset sound effects in Garageband but how do i directly record the sounds from my Keyboard?

Andronikosxx wrote:
so your saying to plug the audio cable into the Phones/Output area of the keyboard into the headphones of the MAC?
Be sure to re-read those instructions. You don't go into the Mac's headphone jack as that is an output. You need to connect to the Mac's line-in (which, on mine, is right next to the headphone jack).

Unable to play custom alert sound.

I'm trying to add another custom alert sound. Had no problem in Snow Leopard, but now with Lion I've created a .wav file in Library/Sounds and it won't play.

All sounds should be in .aiff or .aif format.
You can convert the .wav to aif in iTunes and move that to Library/Sounds.
Hope this helps!

I have just purchased an iphone 4 and it plays ringtones and games sounds but it wont play music or sound from youtube

hep!!!!!!!

Start up a video in the YouTube app. Once the video is playing, tap the screen once. You should see a volume slider appear near the bottom of the screen. Slide it with your finger all the way to the right.

Muffled sound from new imported CD

It started with cds with small scratches on them that were poor quality. Now even the brand new cds that get imported have parts of the song that are distorted. Its not all through the song , just sertain bits.

Are you using AAC or MP3? And at what bit rate?
Also, try burning a CD using a different codec like WMP or LAME. Then add folder to iTunes. Do you get the same result?

Problems capturing the sound layer when importing m2ts files

Hi all, I'm new to the whole video editing side of things and so would appreciate some help.
I've just acquired a Canon HF200 HD camcorder, and a Sony Vaio notebook which came with Premiere Elements 7.0 pre-installed.
For the last month I've been shooting footage, and just getting down to trying to edit everything and put a DVD together.
The problem I have at the moment (and I've just started using the program, so everything is new to me) is that while I seem to be able to import the m2ts file format in which my camera records, only the video is imported into Premiere - not the audio (it reads the file ok, and no errors appear, but when I go to review the footage there is video but no sound).
I can play all my videos in Windows Media Player just fine, with both video and audio. So it seems my machine is able to read the files correctly in this program. However, the audio seems to drop out when I import the file into Premiere. The program was pre-installed in my machine, and when I go in to have a look at the audio settings, there doesn't seem to be an ability to change the settings to something different.
So far I've spent a long time googling and trying to find a solution, but with no joy just yet.
Appreciate any assistance the anyone can offer. Is there just a simple setting that I need to change? Or do I need to somehow convert the files into another format before Elements 7.0 can read them?
Thanks.
Jeff

the machine I have seems to comply with the specs required by PE7 (and given that it came with PE7 pre-installed that should be the case).
There are two things to consider:
1.) editing most footage, especially SD material
2.) editing AVCHD, currently the most demanding of all common video formats to edit. This is what you have.
Now, when you launch PrE, you get a splash screen. There you can Open New (create a new Project), Open an existing Project that has been opened recently, or Open a Project by navigating to it. One can also Exit.
In your case, you will go to New and when that dialog box opens, choose the Preset for AVCHD w/ DD 5.1 SS Audio.
Also note, that when in the Edit Mode, there are two View Modes (accessed via two icons to the left of the lower Panel), Timeline View Mode and Sceneline View Mode. For DD 5.1 SS Audio Clips, you will find Timeline View Mode to be the best. Now, you can switch back and forth, but Timeline View Mode will give you infinite control. It is the view that most editing programs use, and that most editors use.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I strongly recommend Steve Grisetti's book, The Muvipix.com Guide to Adobe Premiere Elements 7.

Play two different sounds at same time from Split Keyboard?

Is it possible to configure the Logic Environment so that one can play or record, from a split keyboard, two different EX24/Audio Instrument sounds on two different tracks AT THE SAME TIME... (and/or: combinations of Audioinstrument + Midi)
EG: From C3 down the left hand plays an EX24 bass sound and from C3 upwards the right hand plays an EVP 88 Rhodes sound
Case 1: with the same keyboard
Case 2: play the second sound from another keyboard.
and/or: combinations of Audioinstrument + Midi
Some years back I tried this on a live gig with an iBook and MOTU 828 mixing the EVP88 but was frustrated that I could only access one sound at a time.
Any ideas appreciated..
Adam

Yes, there are lots of posts that document this in detail, including several from myself.
Do some searches and you should turn them up.
If you suck at searching and can't find them, post back and I'll search for you.
In short, you either need to do some post Physical Input environment cabling, and/or use Logic's multirecord facility, which is documented in the manual.

How playing the sound from sound card backward?

Well, first of all, use the tags to format your code.
Second of all, your code looks pretty horrible (fair enough, you posted in New to Java).
Lastly, the error message seems to be quite clear, you're trying to open a SourceDataLine with an unsupported format.
Where did you get this code?

Can I import and play just the sound track from a video?

I downloaded some video clips with sound and imported them as QT videos into i-tunes - no problem. But how can I now play just the sound track and import it into a music playlist so I can play it on my Ipod in the car? (Or if I put the video on my Ipod - it's a sound only one, not a video one - will it just play the sound track?)
Thanks

Without knowing anything about the nature of the video files you're talking about, all I can say is that if they contain audio, you can extract it. The process may not be lossless, unless you extract the audio and convert it to Apple Lossless, WAV or AIFF. If your iPod is an older one, you may be limited in the formats you can play.
For a simple way to extract the audio only, you can use the Streaming/Exporting Wizard in VLC. You can also, depending on the format of the source movie, export audio with Toast or even iMovie to formats compatible with iPods.

Unable to play External Midi Instruments in Logic Express

Hi,
I have a Yamaha Keyboard which is connected to my Mac via a usb midi cable (Edirol). I have installed the driver for the midi cable and have set it up properly in the "Audio Midi Setup".
However when I am using Logic Express, I just do not know where I can select the midi cable(Edirol) for my Midi In / Out put and as such, I am unable to play any sounds from my keyboard in Logic Express.
Is someone can advise me on this, would be most grateful.
Thanks in advance and cheers.

Hi
Thanks so much for your reply. I have done so for the setup, however when I am in Logic Express I am still unable to play sounds from my keyboard. The mac seems to be using sounds from the computer instead and I do not know where in Logic Express can i go to set it such that my keyboard sounds are used in stead, as i wish to assign channels to my various midi instruments so that they play the right sound from my keyboard.
Please help!! Thanks

Unable to play movie in iphoto 08

Ever since installing Snow Leopard (the bane of my life!) I have been unable to play the movies that I have imported to iphoto 08 from my camera. No previous problems.

Start the install process with the Snow Leopard disc and look for a Customize button in one of the first windows, probably right after the language selection window. It will be similar to the Customize button in this screenshot:
Click to view full size
Click on it and you will be able to select just what you want to install.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Sound from both speakers and headset! How to fix?

Hi I've had this problem since buying my laptop early last year; whenever I skype call, all other sounds except for my call itself comes out through the speaker. Due to my mic being internal I am then forced to play games without sound and am unable to watch videos/ movies whilst skyping. I have googled this, and it appeared people has had identical issues in the past. However, the remedy for this issue does not work for me. I go into: Tools -> Options -> Audio Settings; but there is not option for Headphones/ Speaker. It only has speakers and headphones separately for me. Please help me as I have been unable to play games with sound/ watch videos for the past year while in skype (Which is extremely frequent). Thanks

Trouble playing a PDF generated from Captivate

I have Adobe Pro and Flash Player 11.1, but unable to play a PDF generated from a Captivate file. The first message I get when I publish is "Note:To view the generated PDF file, you must have Adobe Reader version 9 or later."
When I open the generated PDF, i get this message "TO view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install the required version of Flash Player."
WHat am I missing or doing wrong?

You may want to ask in the Captivate forum, as this would likely be something that can be remedied with different "Save" settings. My experience with Captivate is limited, so I can't really offer anything I'd be 100% sure of.
