Safari will not play audio.

Safari stopped playing audio for me on my MacBook Air.  The audio on the computer works because i can get audio with full volume when i play a file on iTunes.  Please help me with what might be wrong.

  • Safari will not play audio from the NPR website.  Thoughts?

    When I try to stream from
    http://www.npr.org/music/allsongs247/
    I hear no audio.  If I use another browser on my iMac it works fine.
    Looking for suggestions to fix this for Safari!
    Thanks

  • My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books

    My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books. How do I fix this? I downloaded the books from iTunes on my computer. I loaded them on my ipod. It shows them on my ipod. It will go to the menu where you can choose which book and then actually pulls up the book then acts like it is going to play. Then it just goes back to the list of books. It won't play any of them. It will play music though.
    How do I fix this?

    The books do play in iTunes on the computer, right?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and audion book and resync
    - 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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • ITunes 7.1.1.5 will not play audio from inserted cd

    I have been experiencing an issue with iTunes on my PC. It will not play any audio from inserted discs. This includes burned discs and commercial discs. When I attempt to play the music the song will stay highlighted briefly, about 2 sec., and then it goes directly to the next song on the disc. This continues through the disc to the end. I experience the same issue when trying to import the disc.
    I have tried removing the iTunes application and doing a fresh re-install, but I have the same issue.
    Also, this is on a PC, and I am able to open the disc's in question and play the content fine within Media Player.
    Any idea's on this would be greatly appreciated!

  • Audio Driver Update, Will not play audio via HDMI cable now...

    I just did a driver update for the realtek audio on my Y70 touch.   When I plug the HDMI cable into the receiver (TV & speakers), it will still transfer the image to the TV and reformat the screen, but now the audio will not play unless I make the room speakers the default audio instead of the laptop speakers...   That is just a real PITA to keep switching the default every time I wanted to do something on the big screen with my computer. Any advice on how to fix that?  Preferably without rolling back the driver that was 130MB+ of a download & install that required to restarts to apply. Thanks,                Joe

    I haven't had mine long but I always have to do that with my tower system. (switch playback device for sound). I played a movie on the Z70 last night and go audio without doing anything (so it is different) but the sound level was low even though I checked the outputs were set to 100% HDMI audio required I turn up the sound at the TV end a lot to hear it. I figure I am missing something but did not want to spend the time troubleshoot, rather tha watch the Netfix movie.

  • Certain .AVI files will not play audio using QuickTime 7.5

    I have recently updated my QuickTime to QuickTime Pro 7.5. I attempted to play videos in my library and noticed that certain videos will not play the audio, but video is fine. I did not have problems with playing the videos with audio before the update.
    I tried to do some research and many have suggested to install PERIAN 1.1. I have done this, but still no result. I have deleted a lot of important videos, because I assumed that they are no longer usable. I decided to keep most of them and figure out a solution. No luck so far.
    Please help! Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    I'm not really sure what to look for in QT's Movie Inspector, but here's what it says:
    Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 320 x 240, Millions
    FPS: 14.99
    Playing FPS: (Available while playing.)
    Data Size: 11.96 MB
    Data Rate: 2112.38 kbits/s
    Current Time: 0:00:00:13.94
    Duration: 0:00:00:47.50
    Normal Size: 320 x 240 pixels
    Current Size: 320 x 240 pixels (Actual)
    If Pro update were not suited for Intel Mac's, should I uninstall the update? If so, how do I do this? Do you have any other suggestions?
    Thanks again for the reply!

  • Safari Will Not Play Flash Games or Videos on my account but will on others

    As of last night my MacMini will not play videos at mlb.com, YouTube.com or flash games at ClubPenguin.com. When I log out of my account on the same computer and log into my kids' accounts it will play all of the above mentioned sites quite well. The problem cannot be with the websites not being compliant with Safari since they are playing normally on my kids' account on the same computer using the latest version of Safari.
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   iBook, iMac, iPod, iPod Mini, iPod Nano

    Well most issues are either A. system wide, or B. User specific.
    In this case the issue was user specific because it happend only in your user, not your kids accounts.
    There are prefernce files (plists) for pretty much everything. When something goes wrong, a good place to start is to pull relevent plists from YOUR user library. home>library>preferences
    If this issue was system wide and happening in all accounts, you would start pulling plists from the library under your hard drive. harddrive>library>preferences.
    When the machine is restarted or logged off after pulling these, when you log back in the preferenece files are regenerated back to standard settings.
    Yes you can trash those plists now with no problem.
    excuse my spelling errors, im typing while on break for 5 min!
    hope this helps

  • Safari will  not play streaming video or audio

    Hi everyone,
    I have had my iBook for a year and never even tried to take advantage of streaming video or audio b/c I had a dial-up connetion until very recently. Now that I have a high speed connection I would like to watch trailers and listen to music on myspace. I cannot watch trailers at www.apple.com/trailers/ or any video on myspace.com. Nor can I listen to music (I think they are xml files) on myspace.com. I'm currently running on Mac OSX 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    Christopher

    Hi
    Well I have the opposite effect here - the video plays fine on my MBP, yet not on my Intel iMac. On the iMac the video panel never appears. Rather tells me it needs Flash.
    Safari is the same on both systems (or at least that's what I think). No plugin blocks are present. To test if the Preference files might be causing the problem, On the iMac, I moved to the desktop from the Macromedia folder in ~/Library/Preferences folder the folder inside the SharedObjects folder. Restarted the system/Safari but the video still does not play.
    In the past, Layers magazine has not been a problem, however, I haven't viewed one for several months. Given what others have posted, there seems to be an oddity here that is not machine or Safari specific. I'll have to investigate more when I have time tomorrow.
    Try the Video from another user account. See if this is system-wide, or just specific to your user account. BTW, video played fine on the iMac in Firefox.

  • Safari will not play .mp4 movies

    I upload a .mp4 movie to my server and Safari cannot play it. It displays a mass of numbers and such.
    I found an article online that says to add a .htaccess file to my server at the, infamous, "root level"... what's this guy smokin'??? Could this possibly work? Has anyone had a similar experience with Safari not playing .mp4 videos? (They play just fine in QT Player)
    Thanks

    If you are having problems playing MPEG4 video in Quicktime 7.4 (and Apple are aware that some users have had such problems) you should carefully check in
    /Library/Quicktime and
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins and
    Home/Library/Quicktime
    to check whether you have any third party plug-ins that are not completely up to date.
    Current versions of Flip4Mac and DiVX and Perian do NOT cause failure alone or in combination. However the one SPECIFIC extension that ALWAYS causes the failure alone or in groups is 3ivxMediaImp. All other 3ivx extensions DO work. Remove only that ONE SPECIFIC extension.
    Please try this and see if it fixes your problem with QT Player, the QT Firefox Plugin, and iTunes not playing MPEG4 files (including mp4 files).
    Older 3ivx and DivX components are often incompatible with new QuickTime versions and are, in many cases, obviated by component packs like Perian.
    This is not the only explanation for issues with MPEG4 file playback in QuickTime 7.4 and later, however. The issue with videos from democracynow.org and others, for instance, is the result of that content not complying with MPEG4 standards (namely that they use bogus track dimensions). QuickTime had previously ignored invalid track dimensions but this was changed in order to support properly authored anamorphic content.
    The recent update to QT 7.4.1 has fixed a number of issues but some problems are unavoidable when working with non-standards compliant content. The standards are important for many reasons including keeping hackers from manipulating improperly coded web pages.
    However, there is a workaround (also the basis for why those files will still play in iTunes): there are a few ways to trick QuickTime into ignoring the invalid track data. For instance, rename the files .3GP and they'll show up just fine.
    Post back if you want a list of the plug-ins you should have in order to play pretty much anything in Quicktime.

  • After last uppgrade, Quicktime Pro will not play audio on my avi movies.

    After last update, I will not get the audio on my old .avi movies. Does Anyone else have the same problem?

    That actually did the trick. Well played. It would be nice if that were in *any* of the support documentation for AirPlay.
    Many thanks.

  • Safari will not play mp4 over HTTPS

    Hello,
    I have a file, sample.html, which contains only the following code:
    <html> <body>
    <video width="600" autoplay loop poster="placeholder.jpg">
    <source src="sample.mp4" />
    </video>
    </body> </html>
    The mp4 file referenced is the one downloaded from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1425
    When I use Safari to access my page via http://myserver.com/sample.html the video plays without problem.
    When I use Safari to access my page via https://myserver.com/sample.html only the placeholder image is displayed.
    Using Safari 7.0.6 on Mac OS X 10.9.4
    I have used http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html to check that SSL is correctly configured for my domain and it reports no problems.
    How can I make the video play in Safari when accessed over https?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andy

  • Airplay-connected Macbook Pro Will Not Play Audio On Apple TV

    After upgrading to a Retina Macbook Pro running Mavericks (10.9.3), I can no longer play audio using AirPlay through my AppleTV 2. The video connection is flawless, yet when going into Sound > Output through System Preferences, I can not select AppleTV | AirPlay as an output device. Is this a hardware issue? Is there another fix available?

    That actually did the trick. Well played. It would be nice if that were in *any* of the support documentation for AirPlay.

  • Videoplayback.flv file downloaded from YouTube video via Safari will not play

    Hello All,
      Here is my question to you:
      Has Safari been altered in such a manner as to NOT allow you to download videos direct from YouTube to your Mac without some intermediary interface?
      Here are the steps I would use to download the source .flv video file from a video on YouTube to save it on my MacBook Pro:
    1. Open Safari.
    2. Go to http://www.youtube.com.
    3. Enter name of video to view/download in the search bar and hit 'enter'.
    4. Start video.
    5. While video is playing:
         A) Click on 'Window' in Safari's menu bar at the top of the screen.
         B) Select 'Activity'.
    6. A window will open showing data status of the video.
    7. Locate the largest loading file size and wait until it is finished loading.
    8. Double-click on that file size.
    9. A small 'Downloads' window will appear showing file download status.
    10. Navigate to your 'Downloads' folder and drag the file named 'videoplayback.flv to the desktop.
    11.  Double-click the aforementioned file to start the video in a suitable .flv player (I was using SWF & FLV Player originally).
    This process no longer works.  All I get is a black screen when I double-click the downloaded .flv file.
    Notes:
      The file size in Step 7 above would vary accordingly to the length of the video, but now every video I try to save as a .flv is approximately 1.7MB no matter how long the video is.  Something isn't right here.
      I had originally downloaded and used SWF & FLV Player to view my video when the above process used to work, but now it has upgraded itself to Elmedia Player and wants me to upgrade to the PRO edition to be able to download videos from YouTube.
    Any insight to this will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance for reading and responding to my question!
    Sincerely,
    - Austin C.

    Thank you for your timely response and suggestion, Mr. Davis!
      I did exactly as you said, made sure there was NO trace of the Elmedia player anywhere on my machine after the uninstallation procedure, but unfortunately this did not work.
      When I dropped the videoplayback.flv file into the VLC player, I get this error message:
      There is something deeper going on within Safari, I believe.  The fact that different length videos on YouTube all yield the same 1.7MB file size when I try to download them is puzzling.
    Thoughts?

  • New videos, one will not play audio others will.

    I purchased five new videos and they all play back fine except one. The one in question has no audio. I checked all the speakers and stuff and did not see a problem. I closed the window and opened the next video and it works fine. All my music plays fine too. Please help...

    I sent an email to iTunes and they issued me a credit. They said evey thing was fine with my computer, it was the video that was not working. I will download it again when the credit comes through.

  • FCP Imported Sequence will not play audio (waveforms present)

    Hello,
    I've imported a sequence from FCP 7 and it relinked with little issue.  My timeline has 10 audio tracks.  Waveforms are present on all tracks.  most all the audio are .aiff files.  I can load the audio into the source player and hear the audio and see the stereo VU meter working normally, however in the sequence there is no audio playing, nothing happening on the VU meters.
    I've checked my audio hardware outs, tested with a clip of tone as well.  Tone plays normally in the Source window but modulates oddly on the timeline, but it at least plays.
    I've searched the forum but my specifc issue doesn't seem to come up, I am not missing the audio in my clips.
    Helpful replies are most appreciated.
    bk

    I had this problem too.  I'm trying to remember what the culprit was, but check 2 things:
    Are the audio tracks enabled?  Right click and make sure they are.
    Is the audio level pulled all the way down on each clip?  I think that was the problem for me - I had to go through each clip and reset the audio level to 0...it was set to -∞.
