There's Video but no sound!

So i have some Tv show on my MacBook, and when i go to watch them there is video but no sound. Quicktime prompts me that i need to download a codec but not which one. Which onw do i need?

Tried that, it said i needed DivX, but i already have that. What else could i use?Try watching it in VLC. If it plays, check the audio info and see if it is more specific. What is the file extension -- .divx or .avi? What DivX component do you have installed? Do you have Mac "non-native" audio support (like AC3) installed? Until you can supply more information, I can only guess at possibilities for you to check and evaluate. You might also try opening the file in a conversion application like FFmpegX and see if he A/V formats are recognized/convertable to a fully supported QT compression format. As a last resort, consider a "rule of thumb here" -- if a format doesn't work, don't support its use.

Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

I just put Facetime on my MacBook and Ipad. I can connect and recieve video but no sound. The other person can hear me. If I use Skype everything works fine. I can't find any where in Facetime to change settings for the audio. Any suggestions

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If recovery does not work there's:

Firefox plays video, but no sound. when I type about:plugins in location bar, it shows the firefox default plugin is not enabled. When I look at my plugins, it says it is enabled. I have uninstalled 3.6 and re-installed with the same result.

Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems.

Shows no video but has sound

Show no video but has sound what do I need to do to fix this?

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

Live!Cam Voice: video but no sound

I've installed the Live!Cam Voice, updated the driver too but I cannot get it to work. I does record the video, but there's no sound.
I've checked the sound settings both on the Live!Cam and windows. The Live!Cam settings are set to record using Live!Cam, whereas the windows sound settings, in control panel are set as follows:
Audio
Realtek AC97
Sound recording
Live!Cam Voice (mic)
The strange thing is that the Live!Cam microphone DOES work if I use it with Windows Accessory Sound Recorder.
Has anybody got an idea why there's no sound?
Thank You

I am having the same problem. I am using windows Vista and have tried?recording sound in other applications and it works fine, just not when trying to record in LIVE! cam. I jbought this cam 2 months ago and just now find out it does not work when I need it the most. I am due to give a video presentation in two weeks and will probably have to buy a new cam, what a dissapointment!

Video but no sound on YouTube

Running the newest version of FF, Windows XP. Everything was working beautifully until I downloaded the ActiveX plugin when prompted a few days ago. Then the sound on YouTube got borked--I can see the videos just fine, but no sound at all.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash, the Active X plugin, and Shockwave, to no avail. Can someone explain suggestions to someone who is in no way a computer person? Thank you!

Hello, I am not familiar with FF, using IE6. But what caught my eye is you said you downloaded the active x plugin "when prompted"
That is how I came to know there even was a F.P.10 update, a window popped up and said it was availabe and did I want to install now,
later or remind me later. I said, sure, install now. LOL I have since resolved my problem.
I know on the Adobe site, there is a download and install for Windows and one for FF. Do you think the "prompt" installed on IE? I wouldn't think so, but it's a thought. I know you can switch back and forth from FF to IE
Also it might be a good idea to go to www.adobe.com/software/flash/about and Adobe will tell you if you have installed F.P. & they will tell you the version as well.
Like I said, not familiar with FF, but with IE, I had to go into manage add ons & update the active x of Shockwave Flash & Reboot.

Formating videos for ipod- video but no sound!!!!!

OK as for your question, that is good. Itunes has the video and sound!
Here is how we fix this, (I hope, right? lol) do you have your Ipod set to Auto sync? You know it is on, when you cannot edit anything on your ipod, it just copies everything on Itunes!
Here is what you do if Auto-sync is on:
To turn auto sync off:
Attach Ipod.
Open Itunes
Click on you ipod icon (the little ipod picture under devices)
The third button down will say: “Manage all music and videos”
Click on the box and give it a, √
Now you HAVE to drag and drop things (music, video, etc.) in Itunes to your ipod. Itunes will not do it automatically anymore. But if your computer crashes, your Ipod will not delete all of its music if you attach it again (because there is no music on Itunes).
If you do not have sync on, write back and let me know. Auto sync is the main problem that cerate this.
As for your question about dragging files to Itunes, make sure they are MPEG-4 format (Quick-Time) or they will not drop into Itunes.
Let me know if it works. God Life

Real Downloader will download video but no sound.

Real Downloader was working fine but now only downloads the video but not the sound.

The Real Downloader has been incompatible with Firefox for the last couple of versions. There are many similar addons on the Mozilla addon site.

Got the video, but no sound...

I had videos I wanted to put on my ipod, but, the file couldn't be read, so I had to convert the songs so my ipod could read it, but it seems that when I play the video... the images come... but not the sound... I have no idea what to do, some help would be appreciated.
ps: it plays normal songs no prob, thx alot.

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

30 Gig IPOD, can see videos but no sound.

I can see my videos, but I can not hear them in itunes nor ipod itself. Basically I load the movies and then press convert movies for viewing on the IPOD which is an extremely long process, and from there I load it to the IPOD and I can not hear anything. As stated before the videos are soundless in Itunes as well.

You have to convert them using third party software, here see this link for some freeware programs that will do the job for you and explain the process. There is another program I will also give you a link to that is free as well and works great.

HT204291 AirPlay a video but only sound playing on tv and no picture, what can I do.

Anyone know why there's sound but no picture when AirPlay a video ?

My friend have the same problem and I can´t connect with youtube to ATV with iPhone5, after recent update.
But Spotify works.

TS5150 I got my Apple TV a year ago as gift. I was mirroring from my Macbook Air ok until today. I can mirror video but the sound stay on my Mac.

When I use Airplay, I can mirror video from my Macbook Air but there was no sound from TV (the sound on my Air still on). I had use my Mac to do Airplay for six months without problem until now. My wife can use her iPad-4 to watch TV with Airply fine without the sound problem. My Macbook Air was purchased in summer of 2011 running Marverick at the moment. Can you help?

Welcome to the Apple Community psalay.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    1.    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    2.    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    3.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    4.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    5.    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    6.    Restart your mobile device.

There's Video but no sound!
