VLC 2.0 won't do mp4a audio transcoding

Last few versions of VLC won't do mp4a audio transcoding.
Relevant output:
Codec is experimental but experimental codecs are not enabled, see -strict -2
[0x7f6a24001028] avcodec encoder error: cannot open encoder
[0x7f6a24001028] main encoder error: Streaming / Transcoding failed
[0x7f6a24001028] main encoder error: VLC could not open the encoder.
[0x7f6a34002478] stream_out_transcode stream out error: cannot find audio encoder (module:any fourcc:mp4a).
This worked not too long ago, until apperantly mp4a was moved to "experimental". What flag do I need to use to use mp4a codec?
This is the line I am using to start VLC:
cvlc "$*" --play-and-exit --sout '#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=600,scale=1.0,acodec=mp4a,ab=64,channels=2}:standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst==192.168.1.100:46232}'

This is also relevant when you try to remotely stream to your mobile device (android) with VLC Direct. I get this error (no matter which file/input codec i choose)
Codec is experimental but experimental codecs are not enabled, see -strict -2
[0xaf300a94] avcodec encoder error: cannot open encoder
[0xb1201854] stream_out_transcode stream out error: cannot find audio encoder (module:any fourcc:mp4a)
[0xb1201854] stream_out_transcode stream out error: cannot create audio chain
[0xb121581c] main decoder error: cannot create packetizer output (mpga)
very frustrating, i don't give a damn if these codecs are experimental or not, just let me enable them! :-(

Premiere CC won't import AAC audio

I'm trying to loop two videos together in Premiere Pro CC 2014.1. One of the videos won't import the audio, just the video track. The audio is in AAC format, the video is a MPEG-4 movie with H.264 format. Every other video I've tried imports as usual, but for some reason the audio drops off on this one. The video plays just fine in Quicktime with the audio track. When I import it, the audio track drops off and only the video track shows up.
I didn't create the video, so I don't have access to the original working files. Anyone know any workarounds or fixes for this?
Thanks!

Thanks for responding, but I work for a very small company and since I'm the only one who needs CC, I have the personal version installed.
Also this appears to be a blanket issue with all audio and video file formats, thus not likely a codec issue since the files I've tried so far should be covered by premiere's compatibility, the even play in windows media player with no issue.
Video itself plays fine, but any audio attached to a video, or just plain audio files will not import no matter what I try.
Sorry my info didn't help.
Two things to try.
Create a brand new project and test if you can import the problematic files.
If that does not work, change the name of the folder that contains your media files. Then try to import.
Let us know what happens.
Thanks,

not if you want to use your interface

there is no option on either the main mac system preferences audio input menu nor the garageband preferences menu to select my audio interface as the input.
does the iO 26 require a driver? check the Alesis web site to make sure you have the latest, if it does.
if not, the first suspect would be the cable, try another FW cable.
less likely is one of the FW ports, if you have another FW device you might see if it works on the Mac, for the interface you might need to visit a music store to test it

Yes there is.
Go to the iTunes Store on your computer. Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side. Click the "All" tab on top. The song is there. Re-download it.

Itunes won't play, store won't play, no audio

itunes won't play, itunes store won't play, no audio.

Make sure the volume slider in iTunes isn't all the way to the left.
If that doesn't work, check out this Apple article -> iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly

Droid Razr Bug. Won't play streaming audio from websites.

My Droid Razr won't play streamed audio from a website and won't play .wav files attached to e-mails. That's annoying.
Motorola tech support said problem will be fixed upon next upgrade of Android OS.
My phone is currently running Android OS 2.3.5.
Does anyone now of a quicker fix?
Does anyone know when an OS upgrade will be available for the Droid Razr?
Thx!

i got the same issue on my ipod. i figured the whole idea of converting the format would solve the issue. never really found out how to solve it. i'll be watching this post to see if anyone has a solve for this issue.

Premier Pro CC won't play / render audio or video after today's update

Foolishly I allowed CC to update my software ( CC 2014.2 ) and now it won't play or render video or audio. It will allow me to scrub through and see the video, but the play button just turns to a square and does nothing.. Trying to render anything does even less.
This behavior can be repeated in both in the source window, as well as the program window when I scrub the timeline.
Premier Pro worked fine yesterday, with the same files. I booted onto a back up drive that had my old CC program cloned... And it still works fine.. I think it's safe to eliminate hardware issues as well as file / file types...
I have deleted the Premier Pro app and reinstalled, I have reset the preferences, I have dumped the media cache.
I have tried to set up new files, both on the internal hard drive, as well as an external... ( both work fine with the old system backup )
Still the same NON results...
Running on an iMac, using OS 10.8.5
Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7

DVD videos won't play, although audio works?

since upgrading to 10.8.4, DVD videos, including rental movies, discussions from teaching sessions, and conversions from home movies won't play, although sound is audible. Video player is "App version 5500.38.2; Framework version 5.7.1. I have rarely used DVDs on the machinge, but did work fine in past. Any suggestions appreciated

What comes to mind is that the DVD player will only work with certain original Apple manufactured DVD drives. (Licensing issue since Apple pays a license fee for the MPEG software on the DVD drive.) Are you using the original built-in drive? VLC doesn't care about the license but states that it is up to the user to insure proper licensing. Look in About This Mac to see what information it has about the DVD drive. Perhaps it is somehow sending the wrong information.
Can you view MPEG movies on the Apple site. For example the movie trailers.

Starting in the middle of an animation won't play the audio

I was creating a frame-by-frame animation in Flash Pro CC that went with an audio file I added to the project, however when I start from the middle, or anywhere besides the start, the audio won't play, but the animation will. I chatted with a customer support guy and he directed me here. Is there any way to fix this?
I'm running Windows 8 64-bit.

if that's an html5 project, no.
otherwise, assign your sound's sync property (in the properties panel) to stream, not event.

My ipod touch (and iphone) won't play long audio files.

What happens, is it gets to 5 minutes or so, sometimes 10, then skips to the next track. And when I skip back to the track I was listening to it won't go past that point. Why would this be? Could it be the way I have my ipod set up or the audio track? (These are long audio tracks btw, 50mins-1hr long)
Thanks

What is the source of the files? Do they play OK in iTunes on the computer?
Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have a problem an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

Premiere Pro and Soundbooth won't play video/audio for more than a second.

Ok, so my issue is that Soundbooth won't play audio for more than a second. It plays a quick bit then stops. Premiere Pro also does the same with video, it plays a quick bit then stops. I don't know if it is connected or not but when I try to change the audio output in Soundbooth to System Default I get this error:
I set the permissions to premiere and soundbooth to full but it didn't work. I've tried UnInstalling and ReInstalling but that didn't fix the issues either. All of the other programs seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Here is the fix.
1. Open Finder and navigate to /YOUR_HD/Library/Preferences
2. Rename or move to the Trash the file: com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist
3. Relaunch The Program

Logic 8 won't play back audio recorded at 48 kHz

So I was recording a small project in Logic 8 on Snow Leopard (10.6.8) the other day when I noticed that audio recorded at 48 kHz wasn't playing back at all. The wave form appeared in the audio region after recording, but the meters on OUT 1-2 weren't lighting up at all. When I switched the project mode to 44.1 kHz, the audio played back fine (except it sounded pitched down and slow). I was in a hurry so I just recorded the whole project at 44.1 kHz instead, even though it should have been 48 kHz.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?

A lot of people have reported this, and it happens to me pretty frequently. Gotta be a known bug, but of course since Apple is always mum about this stuff with absolutely no communication to its customers, we won't know until the next version of Logic is released.

Windows media won't play mp4, audio no video

I upgraded from a desktop to the HP TouchSmart 15 TS Notebook PC so that I would have all the functionality
of a new operating system that would work. Guess I was mistaken?!?!?! I have the same problem I had with my old crappy desk-top, MP4 videos still don't play on Windows 8.1???? I get audio but no video????? just a black screen?????

According to Microsoft support website, Windows Media Player still won't support MP4 files. Though we can make WMP play MP4 video by install some codec, sometime we still encounter can't play MP4 in Windows Media Player issue. MP4 is a container format which may contain multiple video and audio streams. And the video and audio stream can be encoded any of several ways. If the MP4 video or audio codec is not WMP installed codec supported one, Windows Media Player won't play MP4 video of this kind. In order to solve "Windows Media Player won't play MP4 files even when the appropriate codec is installed" and to successfully play any MP4 video in Windows Media Player, we had better convert MP4 to Windows Media Player more supported video format like WMV, AVI.

QT won't play back audio with MPEG2 files

I've upgraded to Pro and have added the MPEG2 plugin. QT plays the video fine, but I don't get audio. Have checked the files with another application (VLC) and the files play fine. I've using files from a new Sony hard disk digital camera. Anyone have an idea as to what the problem may be?
Thanks,
--Mike

I've upgraded to Pro and have added the MPEG2 plugin. QT plays the video fine, but I don't get audio.
Since you did not specify your particular "playback" work flow here, it is difficult to determine your specific problem. (I.e., did you drag and drop the file to an application that would automatically attempt a "transcoding" of the material which the MPEG-2 component cannot handle.) Then too, the Sony MPEG VX format in itself is proprietary and the technical specifications do not appear to have been pubished for general public consumption. (I.e., we don't know the specifics of the format. For instance, is it an AC3 audio format, was it VRB encoded, etc.) See MPEG-2 FAQs
However, since you already have the MPEG-2 component installed, have you tried playback/conversion in an application like MPEG Streamclip? It may allow you to convert the file to DV for editing or directly to other QT/iPod compatible formats with audio if no editing is required/desired.

Video won't play but audio will.

Whenever I try to playback my video, the playhead will move but it will stay in the frame I started from and won't play the video, but the audio will play. I;ve tryed rendering everything, restarting my computer, and cleaning the cache but none of that will work. I tried exporting the video and it played fine but it still would do the same thing when I went back to editing. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this? Does it have anything to do with me only having 4gb of ram?
