Pips for sound instead of audio when playing sequence in Canvas window?

Am new to Final Cut Pro. I'm using FCP 3 on a G5 10.4.11. When I drag the scrubber bar along timeline I can hear the audio track but when I click the play icon under the canvas window I only get pips as the sound track. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Choose one:
You have more audio tracks than can be played on the system in real time.
+Increase the number of real time audio tracks in Final Cut Pro > User Preferences > General or lower the playback quality+.
The audio sampling rate does not match that of the Sequence settings.
+Digital audio for video always uses a sampling rate of 48kHz. Resample in QuickTime Pro, Compressor or Soundtrack.+
You have a multiplexed file. This means that the audio is embedded in the video -FCP expects discreet (separate) tracks. As Pat pointed out above, .DV stream files as used in iMovie are one example of this type of file.
+Use FCP to capture, not iMovie or transcode to a suitable QuickTime .mov file that uses the appropriate codec for your Sequence.+
You could also just render the audio tracks but bear in mind that you will have to render again if something in the Timeline changes.

No audio when playing videos

Upon downloading the latest update, I have for some reason, no audio
when playing back a video...any of them. Video is there, but no sound.
Thanks

I had the exact same issue on my Home computer with XP Home sp2--No audio in itunes
However, my work computer with XP Pro sp2 works fine with the updates.
I ended up taking the advice of some others on here and reinstalled the old version of Quick Time (7.3.1) which worked...Although I'm unable to see movie trailers with the old version...But all other videos, including the one movie that I purchased, I'm able to hear...

The sound on iPhone 4s when playing videos is terrible?

I think Apple need to update iOS 6.1.2 to repair this error, because playing is missed bass and treble. Seriously!!!

I am now missing 26 songs from my Iphone. (After resynching it told me 26 songs could not be downloaded and to see Itunes for more info, of course Itunes had no info). So now I am missing 26 songs and cant figure out how to get them back. They play through my laptop and my Ipad but I cant even see them on my Iphone anymore. I'm starting to regret my upgrade to the 4s. Help Apple!
Were these 26 songs purchased directly from the iPhone? If so, these might be "ghost" entries ... connect your iPhone to iTunes and click on the small arrow to the left of your iPhone's name. Select the iPhone's "Music" category and see if these 26 phantom songs appear grayed out. If so, that's probably what the message is about. I have the same problem, although for each of my 9 "ghost" songs on my iPhone I have legitimate entries that play just fine. I can only see these phantom entries on my iPhone when I view its contents through iTunes (and I get the same error message you get). Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for the error message, but ...
If these 26 songs really are in your iTunes library, are they set to be sync'd to your iPhone? (assuming that you auto-sync) In other words, are you either syncing your entire library, or at least a playlist (or genre) that you auto-sync to? If they're not part of your auto-sync categories, then they won't go back onto your iPhone until you designate them to auto-sync to your device.
If you manually manage music on your iPhone, can you drag and drop these 26 songs to your iPhone?

ITunes 7.6 No Audio When Playing a Music Video or Movie

I just installed iTunes 7.6.0.29 (It was released today).
There is no audio when playing a music video or a movie that I've purchased. Movie trailers and music videos in the iTunes store have no audio either. Videos from iTunes University that I've downloaded (such as an MIT lecture) play fine w/ audio.
Music audio (such as tracks I've purchased or tracks on the iTunes store) play fine.
QuickTime videos, such as a QT video on my desktop play fine. Windows Media Player works fine too.
So, why don't music videos and movies play (w/audio) on iTunes 7.6??

I'm experiencing what appears to be the exact same issue. I just installed iTunes 7.6.
Video but no audio:
Purchased iTunes TV episodes
Streamed video trailers in the iTunes Store
Works fine:
All music files, including protected files purchased through iTunes
The standalone Quicktime player performs normally with MOV files. Windows Media Player still performs normally.
I found an old support doc complaining of a similar issue with a previous iTunes release and tried the suggested fix: Uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling it using the standalone installer (Quicktime 7.4). I also reinstalled iTunes. Neither solved the issue.
I'm very disappointed that I can no longer access the files I've purchased. I hope this is fixed very soon.

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 3 year-old macbook pro is very slow. I have run disk utility and virus scan with no improvement. The "beach ball" will spin for minutes at a time when opening, closing or changing windows. Apple Store looked at it a few months ago with no help.

Whining sound instead of audio

I am editing my news program. I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 12. I have applied the green screen effect and split the clip in two places. I applied the time stretch at 50% in two of the clips so it looks like my newscasters are in zero gravity. Unfortunately, when I exported the video using Windows Media, I get a high whining sound for the audio instead of speech. I am using a windows 8 computer. This whining sound has happened before when I try to use a video as the background of the green screen.

jmamroth
Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8 (assumed 64 bit computer)
After you applied the Time Stretch and played back the Timeline content in the Edit area monitor, did the sound present as whining?
When you applied Time Stretch, was it to a video clip which had audio linked to it?
If so, did you try to minimize the sound distortion created by the Time Stretch by placing a check mark next to "Maintain Audio Pitch".
Please give more details on the audio situation.
Also what was the format of your Timeline video? XviD.avi or other?
Thank you.

Latest issue: No audio when playing video

Hello-I rolled back to version 6 and for the most part, everything is working normal again,however, there is no audio when I play video (I can hear music files).
I have tried the suggested fixes in the FAQ with no luck. I noticed that if I switch to 44.1/16bit in Quicktime preferences, I can get audio but it is stuttered.
If I go to 48/24bit, there is no audio w/ video.
Suggestions anyone?
thanks.

Is this only a problem with the sound and does the video work?

No sound when playing burned DVD with Windows Media Player

Hello!
I made a 10 minute movie which I burned , tested and delivered today.
But it turns out that when playing the DVD with WMP, there is no sound.
I had tested the movie playing it with powerDVD, and it worked as it should. When playing it with a normal DVD player and TV it works allright.
But I had not tested it with WMP. And sure enough, when playing it with WMP there is no sound!
The ones who will show the DVD will do it from a computer to a video projector, and maybe they don't have a "proper" DVD program installed. But I heard that there was sound when playing with "VLC" which is a relief.
But I feel the need to get to the bottom of why there is no sound with WMP? Any clues?

In NTSC-land, one has but two choices: PCM/WAV or DD AC3, which is a particular "flavor" of MPEG. In PAL-land, one does have the option of MPEG (not DD AC3) as an option, but that seems to be falling out of favor.
When MS was re-tooling WMP, they wanted to add back the functionality of commercial (pressed/replicated) DVD's, but sought to limit any burned DVD's. Do not know what the mindset is now, so much could have changed with a few iterations of WMP. I have to admit that I just do not reach for it that often.
In the Project, or Disc, menus, one can tell En which Audio Transcoding to use. As John T, suggests, I would definitely do a test with PCM/WAV, and X my fingers.
If your client(s) is/are set on WMP as the player, there is hopefully a scheme that you can get to work. Also, remember that some older versions of WMP might not play the DVD at all, unless one finds the right plug-in, that basically hacked the intended setup in those older versions. Just like when delivering to a client, and not knowing their systems' calibration, or setup, trying to cover every base in a particular player software might involve a lot of work, and prayer.
Good luck,
Hunt

No audio when playing m4v file

I have a new laptop (HP Pavilion), downloaded the latest iTunes and QuickTime, and music files play fine. Trouble is that the TV shows I've purchased via iTunes have no audio. The video works great, but zero sound. I've uninstalled an re-installed iTunes, rebooted, etc. I'm running XP Pro. Sound card is fine as Windows Media Player plays ok.
I saw a post about this from last summer, but no resolution. Anyone have any ideas?
thanks

I'm having a similar issue. When I play an m4v file, my computer freezes to the point I have to do a hard reboot. Yet if I go into services and stop the Windows Audio service, the m4v video plays fine without sound. All my other audio files play fine. It's very frustrating because I can't go to an earlier version to troubleshoot since my libraries are 7.2. If anyone knows of a fix, please let me know.

No audio when playing mov files in WinXp SP2

My quicktime 7.1 will not play any sound and Freezes up.
I've set audio to safemode and video to to safemode,
still no audin in playback.

My Quicktime movies didn't freeze although I had
NO Sound with Quicktime's movies made with our camera.
solution:
Open your Quicktime movie.
Click; Edit
Click; Preferences
Click; Quicktime Preferences
Click; Audio
under Devices Click; Select Audio Playback and Recording Devices
under Sound playback Click; Advanced
under Speaker setup Click; Quadraphonic or the, stereo speaker choices
(do not pick any of the Suround Sounds, 5.1, 7.1, or no speakers)
You must close your Quicktime movie to reset it.
Open the same movie or another one that wasn't working and listen for sound.
If still no sound, follow this list back to Speaker setup and put it back where it was.

Photoshop Video has no audio when playing WMV files, please help.

Hello. My Photoshop video editor works great with MOV files after installing Apple Quicktime the other day.
Today I tried to load a WMV file into Photoshop's video editor. I get the video, but no audio. (The subject file plays perfectly in Windows Media Player.) The master audio mute at the left end of the timeline window says the audio is not muted (and I test toggled while running the video). And the video properties dialog that is accessible on the video clip icon itself shows the audio is not muted, and that the volume is set at 100%. I see no other place where the audio could be killed.
QUESTIONS:
1) Is this another file type compatability issue, and if so, how can this be fixed?
2) Would Apple Quicktime PRO be appropriate to convert the WMV file into a MOV file, so that I could then work with all of my WMV files?
Thank you for your assistance, Chuck

Load the movie into QuickTime Player, open the Movie Inspector (Window menu), and look at the Format section. That will show the codecs used for the video and audio, the audio being the second one listed. Post that information here and someone can probably tell you what you'll need.
