Recording Sound with video

I was previously able to record sound at the same time that I captured video, now I can't. I use the on board camera to capture video and an external mic. I need to know how to capture video and sound simultaneously.

Go to your Sound in the System Preferences and see if it is set up properly and you can test the microphone there. Then open up iChat prefernces, Audio/Video and see how that is set up and see if your audio works as you speak there. there have been some problems with that, and i think you fix it by resetting the PRAM or NVRAM

  • Photo booth will not record sound with video

    I have always been able to record sound when using photo booth. Now i cant seem to do it.

    Have you got your Input Sound in System Prefs set to Internal microphone or Line in?

  • My iphone 4 microphone won't record sound on video clips and doesn't work with Skype

    This is the first time I have used the forum. My iphone4 microphone won't record sound on video clips, and won't work with Skype.

    I have checked that I have the latest software. I have restarted phone. I am not sure how to perform the other things you mentioned , restore and reset as new... Would I lose any data by doing these? Thanks for the reply.

  • Recording sound with Soundbooth

    I managed to record sound with the system 'sound recorder', but when I try to record sound in soundbooth with the same mic (simple cheap mic) there is nothing showing on the meter and nothing records. Can somebody please explain to me what is the problem?

    While Premiere and Soundbooth both support a Windows audio standard called ASIO, both also include a driver that will let you use audio devices that do not support this format.  The driver is configured by default, but may not always select the proper input port - depending on the audio device and what Windows reports to the application.
    Fortunately, it's not too difficult to tinker around and find the right setting.  In Soundbooth, choose Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware...  In the dialog that pops up, you should see a drop-down labeled "Default Device"  If you are running Soundbooth CS4, you should see "Soundbooth 2.0 WDM Sound" listed here.  Click the Settings button, and in the new dialog, click the "Input" tab.  Here you'll see a list of input ports for your selected audio device.  Make certain your microphone port is enabled, and click OK a few times to get back to the main program.  Click the Record button and make sure the microphone input is selected in the Port: dropdown.  Try recording and see if this solves the problem.
    If it still does not record, or you do not see the proper input to enable, you may need to verify the proper audio device is selected, or if you're running Windows Vista, that the input port you want to use is enabled in Window's Audio settings.  You can find this by right clicking on the speaker icon in your system try and choose "Recording Devices."
    Good luck!

  • 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,

  • Distorted / choppy recorded sound with Audigy 2 ZS and Vista 64-bit

    Hi, I wonder if anybody has any idea of why this issue is happening. First let me give you my PC specs:
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0 GHz
    Mobo: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 rev. 2.0
    Graphics: 2 x BFG GeForce 8800 GT 52MB
    RAM: 4 x GB G.Skill PC6400 @ 800 MHz
    Sound: Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
    TV Tuner:? Hauppauge WinTV PVC PCI II (26xxx)
    OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP
    ?So here's the deal. I have no problems whatsoever with audio playback with this sound card. The issue I am having is while recording sound with it. When I record my voice via a Microphone with the Windows Sound Recorder and then play it back, my voice sounds very choppy. It sounds as if I was talking in front of a fan. The same happens with any program I try to use. If I use Audacity to record sound, the playback is also distorted / choppy. The main problem is with Skype, as I cannot use it to talk to people because they cannot understand what I'm saying because of the issue. Does anybody has any ideas why this happens? My PC is a dual boot PC with Vista 64-bit and XP 32-bit, and this issue only happens with Vista. Sound recorded plays back fine under Windows XP.
    I am using the latest drivers available for this card from the Creative site.
    I'd appreciate your help,
    Daniel

    A little bit off topic here, but 64bit does not mean more performance at all lol.
    Sure, but there are in some cases drastic performence diferences. Under a fresh installed Vista X64 i have less CPU usage, as under 32 bit. But of course X64 uses more RAM (some tasks are double 32 and 64 bit).But the main reason I have more performence is, that the games I often play, get almost a boost. Dont ask me why, but under 64 bit EAW and FOC have the same FPS as under 32 bit. But under X64 I use a bit more Details and a higher resolution. (both are 32 bit games, so its a bit funy )?______________________?Sure there are other ways to install the drivers. But if some Setup dosent work, the first thing I try is to get it via Divice Management. And as this worked for me, I dont waste time to try other methods (Had bad experience, you can break the driver faster than install it *G*)?______________________?Some Questions I have left (after a few hours undr X64 with Creative Drivers):?Could it be, that the driver causes sometimes havy CPU usage?Could it also be, that the driver causes some lags, after you copy a file (the end sound, copy is finihed, but takes more time for "final finish", than without the drivers) - I know that Vista has some problems, on some PCs with copy, and that MS has an inoficial Patch (but dosent help for my PC so far)

  • 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.

  • IMovie not recording sound with iSight image

    In system preferences > sound, I have Built-in microphone selected. But Audacity won't record sound (never works anyway) and iMovie will record image from the iSight, but no sound.
    What am I missing?

    You're welcome. After further investigation, not only does the volume in the system preferences affect the mic, the actual "voice over" (microphone icon) does as well, even though I'm recording with iSight and not, specifically, a voice over.
    However, fantastic YouTube video diaries or whatever they're called must be done on a PC or a Mac that knows how to shut up. If there's one thing right now that's about to make this computer fly through the air, it's the fans that rev up to 6000 and even an external mic picks up the noise. Not much I can do about it. Maybe Snow Leopard and iLife '09 solved the issue.

  • Record sound with mic, phase shift 180 degrees, then play?

    I'm looking to record something with a microphone, phase shift it (up to 180 degrees), then play it into a speaker.
    Is there a way to do this in Labview?
    I have various DAQ boards (NI 9233) and a microphone, the Sound and Vibration suite, and a PC with speakers.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

     In LabVIEW>>Help>>Find Examples... search "sound", there are some examples.

  • How do you record sound with Apple headphones Mac Pro?

    (2008 Mac Pro)  I'm trying to record a voice over on iMovie, and it won't record sound no matter what option I use for the sound input.  I'm plugging my apple headphones into the headphone jack like I do on my MacBook (which works).  I know  that the Macbook has an in/out in one jack, but is it not the same for the Mac Pro?  I've tried sticking the headphones in the back audio out where I can plug my stereo in and it wont even plug in.  Also I know its not iMovie because Quicktime doesn't work with audio recording either.

    The Mac Pro is not compatible with analog microphones.  Its headphone jack is for output only.  It does not work with headset microphones.  Its audio in jack is line-level, so would need a pre-amp to work with most microphones.
    The simplest solution is a USB headset or microphone.

  • Why can't i record sound on video?

    I was recording a video and when I went to listen to it there was no sound. Doesd anyone know why I can't record sound?  Voice memo works though.

    Hello, Bonnieandeddie. 
    Thank you for the question.  I'm assuming you are not receiving any sound from third-party applications when playing video/audio content.  If this is the case, the first thing I would check is if the side switch is set to silent as this can cause applications to be mute.  Below I have included an article that covers adjusting the  settings for the side switch.  Also, make sure to close all applications in Multitasking and power cycle the device.  Test the sound issue after processing these steps.

  • Ni sound with videos

    hi, I just started with my new Ipod but i got no sound with my videos. I see the posts here and try different convertions but nothing seems to be useful. any advice someone? they're all in m4v. thanks.

    Yes I can confirm the same problem with my ipod after upgrading to firmware 1.1 (for the radio remote control support). With my ipod the problem consists only with longer movie files. Short files, such as musicvideos are played with out problem but a movie has the described "30 seconds with sound - freeze - rest without sound" problem!! Very interesting for me: sometimes, after restarting the movies several times the movie continues to play without problem (in average in 1 of 9 cases ) - looks to me as a timing problem.
    I really do hope that Apple is solving this annoying issue immediately, since otherwise they will not sell any radio remotes

  • 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?

  • How to record sound with JMF?

    I just want to record a clip of sound and save it in a WAV file. I exhausted the web but just couldn't find a tutorial. Would someone be kind enough to give me a tutorial or a sample code? The simpler the better. Thanks.

    The following lines of code will record sound for 5 sec and save it in file C:/test.wav.
