Video - sound loss

I have music videos and a few films that i want to put onto my ipod and i was having trouble at first.
Then a friend said to convert it to ipod format.
So i did that and they've all lost their sound..?
whats that about?
someone help please!

What software are you using to convert the videos to iPod format?
If you are using Quicktime Pro, or iTunes to do the conversion... then that is most likely where your problem lies.
Your source video file is probably muxed.
Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
Try MPEG Streamclip.

S.O.S - Video sound loss since downloading latest Quicktime update

Any help would be much appreciated... I think this started happening right after I received an alert to update my Quicktime software a couple weeks ago and did the download... The sound does NOT play anymore when I hit play on certain (not all) video's around the internet. Not sure if it happens with some of my own personal video's, as I haven't checked them yet (I'll cry if so). I have mostly noticed it here and there, like with certain YouTube.com or Myspace.com video's. Initially I thought it was a glitch within the website, now I'm thinking something is wrong with my computer. This is why I hate doing these downloads,and will probably not wanna update anymore. An update should make things better - not break them!

The order of installation doesn't really matter, but when you have finished (and I am going to give you the full nine yards below) repair permissions and restart.
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.1, QT 7.3, 7.4.x and 7.5 and OS 10.4.11.
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.11 and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2
and then the latest version obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-004. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):
http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
FOOTNOTE
If you are running Leopard:
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:

Ipod to stereo sound loss

I've been searching a bit for this, but has anyone noticed some serious sound loss when connecting ipod to stereo or television and trying to play music? I've used it for TV and I didn't notice any major loss, but for music (using the standard headphone jack to white and red plug), it *****! If I turn the stereo up full ball it still lacks any punch (on a cd it would deafen me at this level). I want to buy a car stereo with an aux imput, but don't want to if it's not going to be loud. The ipod is new, so just want to know if this is normal?

I have used all of my 4 iPods as the main source for music connected to my living room stereo for years throug a docking station. (Not through the headphone output.)For my stereo i think the "latin" equalizer setting is closest to CD sound, but that varies. The sound is very close to CD sound and I do not lack any punch. I am using the same set up in the car and no problems there either. With the latest docing station the volume on the iPod has to be on full, but it automatically goes to full volume when docking.
By the way, I am using it with to stereos, One Denon and one Bose.

Trond

Video sound to TV won't run through headphones

Hi,
I have my stereo and TV hooked up to a MacMini (the 2009 slim metal one with the optical drive). I have a headphone splitter attched to the headphones jack going to the TV and the stereo. The Mini is hooked up to the TV with a mini DP connector to a DVI-to-HDMI cable (but this same thing happens with a regular DVI cable). With my old 2,1 Mini that was fine since everything ran through the headphones.
Now I want to do the same thing but iTunes I can't get the video to run through the headphones. The only way I get sound to the TV is to run it through the HDMI output (even when using the mini DP). But then I have to manually change the sound output.
Is it possible to either:
1. Have iTunes run out the headphones jack and everything else run out the HDMI? or
2. Have everything run out the headphones output?

Info to add:
When any digital video is plugged into the Mini, the video sound only works when it's set to HDMI.
To get sound to my stereo I have to switch it to headphones. Even though I have a connector going from the headphone jack to the DVI audio input on my TV, there's no sound in headphone mode.
I tried an external USB sound card and had the same problem. Just instead of headphones it was the USB soundcard.
Maybe it's my TV...

Video/Sound delay with AppleTV on higher resolutions

I have a new Sony 55" RP SXRD HD TV (1080p max res), and just hooked up my AppleTV today. After syncing it with most of my video library and some of my music library, I tested the video appearance. My initial setting was 1080i, and I experienced major video/sound synchronization delays (similar to older DVD players where you'd hear what the person was saying 5-8 seconds before they said it on screen). This drove me nuts, so I switched down to 720p res, and while the movies played okay, the TV Shows and the Music Videos left much to be desired, and still had the same synchronization problems. To remove these issues, I finally changed the res down to 420p, but now, when I watch pretty much anything (photos, album art, TV Shows, Music Videos, and Movies), the resolution is horrible, and pixelates on my TV.
I'm trying to pinpoint this to find out if it's the TV, the connection (HDMI), or the AppleTV. Can anyone offer some advice on what to look for, what might cause this issue, and how I could fix it? Thanks so much in advance!

Sounds to me like it's a problem with upscaler. Does the Apple TV upscale? If it does, then it's the upscaler in the Apple TV and is probably a software problem that can be fixed with a firmware update. But it's weird that if it's a consistent problem with the Apple TV upscaler that these forums aren't just soaked in complaints about it. Could be only a problem with really large, say 46" or greater TVs -- that might explain the low number of complaints.
If the Apple TV doesn't upscale, then it's the upscaler in your HDTV. Prior to about six months ago, when all HDTVs got good upscaler chipsets, some HDTVs, especially the older, larger models, had absolute trash upscaler chipsets -- even the expensive quality brand models got some bad upscalers. All kinds of problems from all input sources, but not always with every device. How old is your HDTV?
For your sake, I hope it's an Apple TV upscaler problem with larger dimensioned HDTVs, as that Apple can fix for free with a firmware update. Next best choice is your terrible upscaler chipset in your HDTV supports firmware upgrades via USB or network cable and there is a firmware update out that fixes your HDTV's upscaler problems. Because the final, worst alternative, if there is no update for your HDTV available, or your model doesn't support firmware updates, it's the really bad option: drop another couple grand or more for a new HDTV of the same large dimensions.

Intermittent Sound Loss (SFX & Audio)

Hi gang, I have an odd problem with intermittent sound loss (button SFX + audio) on my brand new ATV2 (HDMI to HDMI on a 2 year old Phillips 42"). The picture is great, but the audio only works about 50% of the time. (?!) I'm totally stumped. I did some troubleshooting. Restart, Reset, Restore. No dice. I swapped the cable and tried different HDMI ports — to no avail. I also spent an hour on the phone with an Apple tech. We did everything again and we turned off Dolby, etc. No dice. He suggested I bring the device into the Apple store, and they swapped it out for me. But I'm having the same problem with the new device — and AGAIN only 50% of the time. It seems totally arbitrary. Very frustrating. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Did you try restarting your TV, the problem may be there.
(I have a tv that starts to drop audio occasionally, although a restart of the tv will resolve the matter it does return perhaps weeks/months later)

Apple gives response on sound loss in iMovie '11

I phoned up Apple 'Care' about the reported sound loss/sound syncing when exporting clips.
Apple are not aware of any problems with the sound on the latest iMovie update. He suggested I look at my settings, and "Search on Google".
Great help.

Video Sound through Express?

I tried searching this forum, but couldn't find any answers. I am using iTunes connected via Airport Express to my home stereo. It plays music fine, but why doesn't it also stream sound for videos through Airport Express? Is there any way to do this? Video sound only comes through my PowerBook speakers.
Thanks for any help.
Rick

No I haven't tried that, but will. I did see in Apple's Knowledge base that for some unexplained reason movie audio does not play through iTunes to Express. I did try Airfoil, but the syncing is way off. If anyone knows how to fix that it would seem to be a good solution.

Video sound over a photo.

Is there a way in iMovie HD to insert a photo between two clips and have the video sound play over the photo without the video.
I want to replace a small section of video footage with a picture, but continue to hear the audio of the video, sort of paste the photo over the video.
Thanks in advance.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Haloric,
In addition to Ivar's method you could try this.
If the photo already exists in your clip viewer or time line, select it then choose File>Copy. Now position your playhead where you want the photo to appear and choose Advanced>Paste Over at Playhead.
iMovie will automatically extract the video audio to preserve it.
If you don't already have the photo in your clip viewer or time line, you'll need to first bring it in to your project. Then just move it to the clip pane or just select and copy it right in the timeline.
This technique works with video clips too. Useful for a quick cut away to something else.

Video sound????

I got my iphone4 alittle over a month ago, right when I got it the first video i took, when i played it back you could barely hear the sound i tried everything but nothing worked so I figured maybe the video sound on the new iphone wasnt good until my friend got hers recently and its clear as day? What could be wrong with my sound on my video?

There's a lot of similar threads here...

Embedded Youtube video sound issues HELP!!

Hello.
This is my site http://mattpartridgeanimation.com/
In my 'animation' section I'm loading youtube clips to my site using this AS3 script found here.
This all works fine but when i use my buttons created in flash to load the new container_mc, the sound of the old video keeps playing. Does anyone know any AS3 script that will stop the youtube video sound playing when you click to load another video.
I'm pretty new to all this so any help would be great. Cheers

Hi,
I found the same problem but, according to YouTube AS3 API reference, I solved it with the special function:
player.destroy();
It works. Just replace "player" with the instance name of your youtube player.
Quote from the documentation:
You should always call player.destroy() to unload a YouTube player. This function will close the NetStream object and stop additional videos from downloading after the player has been unloaded. If your code contains additional references to the player SWF, you also need to destroy those references separately when you unload the player.
Best,
Toz

Ever since I downloaded iOS 7 my music and video sound has been really bad quality what should i do

Ever since I downloaded iOS 7 my music and video sound has been really bad quality what should i do??

I had the same problem on my iPad v2 IOS 7. But it sorted itself after a hard reset (power and home button) followed by a soft rest ( just power) . I lost all sound at this point. Then restarted again with a hard reset.
Hope that fixes your iPad v2

Kevin is suggesting that you store the projects you create while working through his book in a folder called RoboHelpProjects. It is not where you have to store every project you ever create.That is for the purposes of his book.
RoboHelp initially defaults to My RoboHelp Projects but it's up to you whether you do. Generally on the forums we advise against that as it is part of your profile and can result in excessively long path names in a few cases. Generally where authors create file names that are so long they almost serve as the content.
Projects always have a root folder, call them Project 1 and Project 2 for this purpose. You can have those folders directly off your C drive (or other local partition) or within in a parent folder as above.
Now to what you can and cannot do. You can delete a whole project by selecting Project 1 or Project 2 in Windows Explorer. Obviously if you delete the parent folder you will delete all your projects within.
What you must not do is delete individual files within a project using Windows Explorer, for that you use RoboHelp's Project Manager. The exception is if you go to Tools > Reports there is a report Unused Files. Files listed there will have to be deleted using Windows Explorer for the very good reason they do not appear in Project Manager and, therefore, cannot be deleted that way.
If you think about it, it is similar to Word. There is no option to delete a document there other than using File > Open and right clicking. Not very intuitive.

Why have I lost video sound on my ipad?

Why have I lost video sound on my ipad?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
