Quicktime Cannot Record Sound

Hello All,
I have a problem with QUICKTIME That i cannot record sound. So i cant really record sounds properly at Least Sound Recorder Works but not Screen Recorder.
SO PLEASE HELP!

I have a problem with QUICKTIME That i cannot record sound. So i cant really record sounds properly at Least Sound Recorder Works but not Screen Recorder.
If you are referring to recording of "system" audio during a screen recording, then that is not a feature "natively" included in QT X and you would have to invest in a third-party app having this built-in option.
If you are referring to mic voice-overs or access to non-native software you have installed, then use the recorder triangle option to select an input option. While you can mic record system audio playing back through your system speakers, the audio is usually of poor quality if the volume is too low or prone to feedback if the volume is set too high.

  • Cannot record Sounds

    When I record a clip, it won't record sound. It will record a voice over though. I know my microphone works. I've looked threw the settings and nothing jumps out at me.
    Anyone know this problem??

    I am getting the same error with EMU PatchMix with an EMU 1820.
    "Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate"
    I have a new Win 7pro machine. Have the on-board sound disabled. Sometimes I can get Audacity input levels but only if I set Audacity from "MME" to "Windows WASAF", and "Wave (E-MU E-DSP)" to "Speakers (E-MU E DSP) (loopback)". It then records with an loopback echo.
    I have tried all sorts of session settings but cannot hit on the correct settings. For test purposes I am trying to get levels in Audacity from playback (from WinAmp) on this machine. I always get sound at the output of the 1820 with no problems.
    > I have seemed to solve the problem by matching the machines control panel sound settings with that of Audacity. <

  • Cannot record sound, all I hear is stat

    Hello, I am trying to record what it being played through my speakers.
    Before I purchased my creative audigy sound card I went into the playback control by clicking the icon in the system tray, then clicking options and properties, then recording, then setting my output device (speakers) as input device and that let me record the sound that was being played over my speakers.
    I am trying to do that now with teh sound card but there is no suck option, I tried clicking "what you hear" and selecting that as the input device but when I do that and try to record all I hear is loud static.
    So how am I supposed to record sound that is being played through my speakers?
    -Thanks

    Help?

  • Quicktime Cannot Record Message on iphone 6+

    I'm trying to record some gameplay of me on my new iphone 6+. Quicktime will record from my face camera but when i select it to record a movie from my ios device it will not record and the screen goes black. I dont know what to do about this problem. It was working earlier but now is failing to even pull up the screen on my phone.

    to receive mails the mail program use a port to connect to the mail server if that port is blocked by the wifi network you are connected to or by the carrier you have then what you experience would be the case
    if you put in the mail settings incorrectly that would do it too you can go into the settings and verify it up against the settings you find on the page you will find if you type in

  • QuickTime not recording sound

    I'm running OS X 10.8.2 with QuickTime 10.2 and can't get the screen recordings to record audio.
    I've tried all of the settings in System Preferences > Sound for both Output and Input and even have Soundlflower installed and have chosen those as options also, but I can't get the audio to record. Or that is... no matter what settings I use for Input... it ONLY records from my 27" iMac's internal microphone.
    So... while recording the video that's playing on screen if I talk (to test it) the audio recording of my talking is fine... but no setting will allow me to record what the audio on the video is.
    This didn't just begin in 10.8.2... I'm just finally getting around to posting about it because I'd like to occasionally record videos on the screen.
    The videos record without a problem.
    EDIT:  If I select Soundflower (16c) for the Input then the Sound preference pane displays the sound on the video is being recognized by the system (i.e. the Input level shows the bar changing from the audio in the video). But when I play the QT file back... no sound.
    Any advice?

    I have found a solution to your problem!
    I have Logmein installed, and I selected it for the sound output.
    I than selected it as the audio source in quicktime and it worked like a charm. I was able to record video with system audio and it was perfect!
    I hope this helps!
    If @apple is listening tho, There should be an option to select system audio when recording a screen cap with quicktime.

    Hi, I mean stream music for example.
    Here is my case:
    My friend and I were in voice conference using Skype, I used Goldwave to record the call but I can only hear my voice and sound in the room only. How can I record his voice as well as record the stream music that was playing on winamp?

  • Cannot record ingame sound with glc (-git)

    I have a problem with recording ingame sound with some games with glc (well, glc-git). glc says, it can record sound from games, if they use alsa (or sdl and forcing sdl to use alsa). As long as I don't use pulseaudio, this shouldn't be a problem. But for some games, I can't get the sound recording to work. The 2 at the moment are:
    FTL
    Amnesia: The Dark Descent
    I usually get a message like this:
    [ 1.46s alsa_hook error ] 0xa8a8170: unsupported audio format 0x0e
    [ 1.46s alsa_hook error ] 0xa8a8170: can't extract hardware configuration: Operation not supported (95)
    I can record the game, but not the audio. If someone can help or test it, if it works for him, that might be nice. Or if someone knows a workaround or so. Or if someone can confirm, that there is no audio recording for those 2 games (but I actually don't wanna hear it... :-) ).
    Also there are plenty of games, I got the audio recording to work with. You can see it in my youtube-channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/ChemBroTronNo1

    doorknob60 wrote:Do you use 64 bit? I don't have a copy of Amnesia downloaded right now, but if Amnesia is a 32 bit binary game, and you use 64 bit, you need to make sure you have the proper 32 bit libraries. lib32-glc will probably be enough.
    That's not the issue, the problem is that some games are firing 32-bit float audio (0x0e type as indicated in the error) into ALSA through whatever means, and the standard GLC only supports 16, 24 and 32bit signed int audio. My fork above adds very rudimentary support for float.

  • Quicktime not recording audio in New Movie Recording

    Audio is not recorded when using an audio interface as the input in New Movie Recording, but records fine when in New Screen and Audio Recording. Using my laptop's internal microphone is fine, cannot work out what the problem is, as it has worked absolutely fine in the past, but has stopped.
    Sound can be heard and the volume meter in Quicktime responds to sound coming in, just doesn't record at all in that mode.

    Are you launching Captivate with Run As Administrator privilege?
    If one of your co-workers logs onto your PC with their user profile, does the same microphone that doesn't work for you work OK for them?

  • IPhone cannot record and open videos?

    It happens today, the iPhone 4 cannot record and open videos. When I try to record, there is flashlight on and off on the top. I dont know why, I know it will show up when I take a photo, but it show up in video taking and it didn't show the time that I record. I look at my Photos, but it show the word "mov" and I click on it it said can't open. PLEASE HELP!!!

    I have very similar problems on an iphone 4s, you think it takes video, when on ios 5.1.1 i pressed record button to end shooting video and picture would freeze! This would then freeze the whole camera app by showing the shutter screen and neither the camera or video camera would work. After about 4-5 minutes the phone would unfreeze itself and allow camera shots, but if you tried to take video footage again, exact same fault would arise! Ive tried reinstalling software and full on reset, deleted itunes and refreshed all that, no such luck!  After the 4 or so minutes has passed the video would appear as a grey screen in the camera roll, and if i click it to view it, a quicktime Q appears in middle of screen with a black background, you hear the sound from the video but no motion picture!
    Tried hard/soft resets, numerous backups with restores, tried using phone as s new iphone it still happens!  Ive spoken to apple who say take it to apple store at bristol uk, and they'll swap it for a refurb, but i dont want a refurb I say, as ive had the phone 2 months and paid £250 upfront for the 64gb version, why should I want a swap when components inside phone could possibly be older than the new phone I have?
    Just downloaded ios 6, the symptoms are the same, but now the picture doesn't freeze, but after pressing record button to stop recording the timer keeps counting up and red light still flashes! I give up honestly!
    I swear its a software fault, as the camera focuses fine and takes a nice photo, even if it is a bit grainy if zoomed in? Is that normal, as its always been like that, but normal non zoomed are brilliant!
    Can anyone help me and this guy who asked the same question back in april!
    Please help, apple dont know what it is I dont think, which is annoying, they told me ios 6 might fix the issue!
    Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated
    Cheers

  • HP Mini 110-1160SA problem recording sound from sound card

    I am trying to record sound from the sound card itself rather than an external or internal microphone, using a free software called Sonarca Sound Recorder. For example, I play radio from the internet using the BBC Iplayer. I have Windows 7 Starter. When I use the Windows Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Manage Audio Devices, I get a window called Sound. I press the Recording tab, and get a choice of Internal Microphone, External Microphone, and Stereo Mix. According to my sound recorder software's documentation, I need to select that Stereo Mix, because it means "record whatever the sound card is playing". However, the Stereo Mix recording device, despite having a red tick mark next to it is "Currently Unavailable". How do I make it available?

    to be honest, i am not sure about your problems, normally, you need to set stereo mix as default device, then using recording devices to record sound on windows 7. Since you cannot make it, why not insall a virtual sound device, it works like a real one, install this streaming music recorder on your system, start recording. Just test it out by yourself.

  • Cannot record through line-in in bootcamp MBP late summer '09 model

    cannot record through line-in in bootcamp MBP late summer '09 model
    audio source (mp3 player) <3.5mm male input-------------3.5mm male input>  line-in to macbook pro late summer 2009 model bootcamp windows xp sp2
    when i select microphone in the audio panel - it works
    when i select line-in and plug in the 3.5mm jack input to 3.5mm jack input to a fm radio for ex. it doesn't work
    how do i make the line-in work?
    i remember that when i first installed mac osx sl and windows xp bootcamp - the first couple of times around when partitioning the hd - the line-in worked a couple of times, in between times somewhere along the line i made some change to the spdif settings ?? or driver / to make the red light that comes on in the line-in jack go away -  the other method was to use a toothpick to push a tiny button inside the jack, did that once -but the redlight came back again after a restart on bootcamp side.
    thanks in advance,
    -r

    Although I don't use it, the Line-Input jack should require a signal about 40dB higher than what a microphone alone puts out. If your cable only adapts the connector and does not provide amplification, I'm not surprised you get nothing. If you are lucky, you MIGHT get a low signal by going into System Prefs/Sound/input/line-in and turning the input level slider all the way up. But the real answer to to get a mike preamp or mixer, or a mike with line-level output. Some products take a mike input and convert it to digital into the USB port.

  • Recording Sound Files

    I'm looking at technologies for an application that will
    (among other things) provide dictation capabilities. Specifically,
    we need to be able to record sound files, review them, then upload
    them to a central server.
    My reading of the documentation is that Flex will not be able
    to record a sound file, and in any case I won't be able to get
    access to the microphone without a confirmation dialog. Is this
    correct?
    I'm guessing that AIR, as a desktop application, would have
    this capability. So as a bonus, if anyone could point me to
    information on that I would appreciate it.

    Open up QuickTime. Go to File->New audio recording. Click on the red button and speak (there's a built in mic) click on the black square when you're done. The file will save to wherever you have the QT preferences set to save to.
    EDIT* Oh I may have led you astray. I think you need QTPro to do that. Well you can capture audio in GarageBand. Just select a New Track and use the Real Instrument setting. Same basic idea. Hit record, speak and then stop.

Maybe you are looking for
