Sound Does not Play Back

I am playing recorded video from a Sony HDR-HC1 through the DV out and capturing in on location. All goes well(except for some red frame video) during capture, good video and audio. I captured three times. On one occasion the audio played back. The other two it did not. Audio will not play back in PP CS3. The file is an AVI T2. The same clips play back fine in Edius 3.6 with good sound.
Any tips on what is wrong?

Hey There and Welcome to the mac forum!!!!
Could it be possible that you moved or even trashed the audio files you were using? If so then they get trashed in imovie to.
Next time, transform the movie into a Quicktime movie (once you are completely done the project). Once you have done this, you can move or even trash any of the elements of your movie (even the footage) but this will make your actual imovie project useless (The Quicktime one will be fine).
I hope this helps,

    I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either.  I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
    3. If you've installed something called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and reboot. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. If you've installed an equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and reboot.
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
    7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Reboot and test.
    9. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    10. Reset the NVRAM.
    11. Reset the SMC.
    12. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
    13. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • In Flash the sound does not play only started from the beginning. Can anyone please help?

    In Flash, the sound only plays if the file is started from the beginning. The sound doesn't play if starting from anywhere other than the beginning.
    This is very frustrating when trying to sync the animation with the sound as it's not possible to scroll back and forward with the sound playing. The only way the sound works is if it is started from the beginning.
    If anyone can help that would be fantastic.
    Thanks

    Hi Jeromie,
    Many thanks for your help. Here is some additional information, which may shed light on the problem.
    I am using Flash Professional CC  2014.0 release,  Build 14.0.0.110
    The computer I'm using is then iMac running OSX version 10.9.3 Build 13D65 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
    I am using Flash, not a web-based editor that leverages Flash Player.
    "a direct link to the project or tool would be useful in allowing us to attempt to reproduce the problem" -  Not sure how to do this, how can I add the project to the forum?
    Many thanks once again for your help, let me know if you need more information.
    Cheers
    Michael

  • Video does not play back - please help

    Hi everyone...
    Here are the specs:
    Premier Pro CS4
    Windows XP SP3
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    T9400 @ 2.53 Ghz
    2.53 Ghz 2.90 GB
    149 GB HD -  111 GB free space
    I am not able to play back any type of video, it will pixilated and freeze.  The audio plays fine.  I have imported QT files as well as captured video at the standard DV-NTSC Standard 48Khz
    During capeure I have no problem viewing or capturing....
    The thumbnail image shows a proper image but ones I hit play on the thumbnail preview it pixilated and freezes as well.  Even if I drop the clip in the timeline it does not work.
    I checked the material by using it in another computer with PPC4 and it worked fine...so the source material is not corrupted....
    Any and all the help is appreciated.

    Regarding QT that is what I have always used with other NLE, what do you recommend?
    I've had great luck with QT. I've had the Pro version on all machines going way, way back, with not one issue. Many others have not been so fortunate. As I do not let it update, I managed to miss the 7.4.x debacle, where about 3 udpates killed almost everything Adobe. I'm running 7.5.5 on all machines, IIRC. QT is up to 7.6.3, last time I checked.
    I get a ton of .MOV files and specify the Apple Animation CODEC. To date, all have played and edited fine on my PC's. Again, based on the reports from the field, YMMV. Just because I have had 100% success, does not mean that any others will. Many have not.
    Now, I have the Pro update, and I cannot say how that might affect things, other than the "features" of Pro. As it is just an "unlock," the "guts" of QT Player have go to be pretty much identical. Still, my results have always been with the Pro version, FWIW.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS, if there were not issues for many others, the term QuirKtime®, would not have come into popular usage.

  • TS1702 Live Notes application does not play back the audio.

    I bought the Live notes application. I tried to use the microphone to tape the voice. It shows the audio level, if you close IPAD it inform you that is recording de audio. But when I went to play my note the audio does not happen.

    Hi
    1) Try a Hard Reset as follows.
    Remove any devices connected to the notebook.  Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook - check if the speakers are now working.
    2) Please First check if the speaker icon on the unit is not muted.
    3) Go to device manager and uninstall the Sound driver and restart and unit will install the driver automatically.
    4) Try doing System restore to the date when the unit was working fine.

  • DVD does not play back on all computers and DVD players after burning

    I have built and formatted a dvd using dsp but it will not playback on laptops even though it works fine on dvd players macs, and pcs. On some laptops there is no sound others just crash. Is this a problem with the laptops or how i have formatted the dvd?

    suggestion 1
    If you are trying to playback on a PC laptop running windows:
    Do not use Windows Media Player to play back the DVD, it wont work, it is not a DVD player.
    Use the software supplied with the DVD drive such as Win DVD or Power DVD.
    suggestion 2
    The disc format is incompatible with the DVD drive:
    If the disc you created is a DVD-R and you play on a DVD+R drive, or a DVD+R disc played in a DVD-R drive then the disc will not play.
    suggestion 3
    the drive is a CD drive not a DVD drive

  • Quicktime playback sometimes does not play back Video

    Recently upgraded to Snow leopard. Problem appeared after upgrade.
    On some, not all, quicktime videos, the play back only has audio, no video. Quicktime ver. 7.6.3.
    I have tried to upgrade to 7.6.4, but the installer won't let me, says I already have QT 10 installed. Even after I delete QT10, I still can't install it. I have reinstalled snow Leopard, and quicktime twice. Visited the genius bar, all with no luck.
    Also have 3ivx MPEG-4 installed.
    Any ideas? This is a problem because the videos of a tutorial DVD that I purchased only plays back some of the QT videos. The DVD works fine on an old PB G4.
    Thanks

    Open one of the non working files using QuickTime Player (Utilities folder) and then open the Movie Inspector window.
    My guess is the files use Flash (.swf) tracks. QuickTime Player higher than 7.3.1 no longer plays Flash tracks.
    You can't install 7.6.4 on Snow Leopard.

  • Sometimes Sound does not play when playing multiple Sounds simultaneously

    This is also a best practices question, too.
    I built a game that uses a lot of different sounds (about 48 I think). Many are short, less than a second, and a few are longer, music cues, etc.
    Example problem: Sometimes when there are a lot of sounds playing and a music cue is suppose to fire, the music sound doesn't play. I made a trace on the function that plays the music sound, and that function does execute. Are there limits on how many sounds can be playing simultaneously? (This doesn't only happen to a particular sound , could be any sound)
    Also, as far as best practices, If there is a sound that could be played multiple times simultaneously, should  a new instance of that sound be created each time its played? If there is only one instance of that sound, will the previous playing of that sound be cancelled when called to play again?
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Thanks.
    I guess I could add  channels to an array as they start and remove them from the array when they are done playing to keep track. That way when an important sound, like a music cue, is suppossed to play I can check the array stop enough sounds to allow the music cue to play. Hopefully it wont be too much overhead with all those listeners.

  • Video does not play back FCP5

    When I play back video, only audio plays back, and it shows the first frame of where i was playing back. When I stop it, the video jumps to the last frame that it passes.
    Please Help!!!

    How are you monitoring?
    What's the format?
    If on an external device, is the format supported for real time playback?

  • Audio Instr records but does not play back in Logic Pro 9

    Hi all.... recently upgraded from a PPC G5 to an iMac 27"" 2.8 GHz Intel i7 w/4GB mem. was running Logic 7.2,now Pro 9. Here's my prob. After opening an old session in LP9 and recording an audio instrmnt (no prob setting up trk or recording) the trk won't play back. However,I was able to drag the recorded region to another trk (set up w/same audio instrmnt) and it plays.Is there some possibility that when opening a Logic 7.2 session that LP9 sees an audio instrmnr trk as an "audio"trk instead? Since I'm relatively new please excuse any newbie faults. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Why is it that an amplitude-scaled sound does not play louder than the original sound using Play Waveform?

    I don't know if I have posted this on a correct location (kinda new here).
    I am trying to demonstrate the effect of multiplying a constant to a waveform. I have a sound file read by Sound File Read Simple.vi. Then I am trying to scale the amplitude of the signal by a constant number. I've tried three methods for this: the Numeric Multiplication, the express VI Scaling and Mapping, and the scaling and conversion VI of Signal Express. The waveform shows that the amplitude of the scaled signal is indeed scaled, but when played thru the play waveform VI, the sound level is still the same, no matter how much I am scaling the input. Does anyone why is this so? Also, I really wanted to show that scaling an audio waveform results in a louder waveform. How do I do this? As much as possible, I've wanted to use simple VIs as the class is an introduction to signal processing and the students (and so am I) are still finding our way into LabVIEW (we used to use MATLAB in the course).

    Hi kirkbardini,
    According to this article about Low Volume From Sound VI, you can use a scalar multiple to increase the volume of a sound saved to a .wav file, so you should be able to do this before playing it.  Does that not work for you?
    That information is for Labview 7.x and hence outdated. As mentioned before. Labview do a normalization before sending data to the sound card. As you know sound cards are most often 16 or 24 bits. And in most cases data input to a sound card is in DBL type. After normalization the data is converted so the floating point value 1 represent full scale output on data sent to the the sound card DA. To get any further I suggest kirkbardini take the time needed to send us his/hers current code. Then we may solve things from there
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
    (Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

  • IMovie 9.0.9 sound does not play

    Have gone back to iMovie 9.0.9 due to DVD burn issues with later version.
    Been working hard on a movie of trip to Holy Land and have selected three songs for the pictures used so far. Until today, the songs all worked great, but today (computer has NOT  been turned off) all of a sudden there is no soundtrack audible. I can see it, but no sound during playback. Ideas? Thanks

    Hi Douglas,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

  • Sound does not play with most of my clips

    How do I get the sound to work on video clips? Some do and some do not. I unclicked Draft mode.

    Not much we at Adobe can do to get the AC3 codec installed on your computer, we don't produce it. But someone else on the forum here may have some tips to help you out. All I would suggest is following the same basic troubleshooting steps used to help installed Adobe products. But if you are getting an error message, I'd start by searching the internet for it.

  • Sound does not come back on after switching to silent

    I have an iPhone 5 and quite often i have to switch my phone to silent.
    When I switch the phone back to normal, there is still no sound & I have to turn the phone off & back on again.
    Is there any fix for this.
    Also When I hit an area of bad signal (like the underground) my phone goes into NO SERVICE, as you would expect, but when I'm back above ground, my phone stays on NO SERVICE, resulting in turning the phone off & on again.
    As a result of this I have to check my phone regularly to make sure that I have service.
    Is this a problem with my phone, or are other people having this issue.
    Apart from that I'm loving the 5....

    I've had this problem with my iPhone 5c since April 2014 through several updates of iOS.  In December 2014 I got my wife an iPhone 5s.  She has the same problem.   We're both seeing this on the latest update of iOS  version 8.1.3.
