Why are there no sounds located in the Library/Sounds folder in Home Directory? My Mail alerts, etc

Why are there no sounds located in the Library/Sounds folder in my Home Directory? Since upgrading to Mountain Lion most of my sounds are not working, in my Mail alerts, etc.

Did you put any sound files there? Because if you didn't, that will explain why it's empty.
The ~/Library/Sounds folder is where any sound files that you add go, and they are only available to you as the "logged in" user (if you have other users with their own accounts, they each have their own ~/Library/Sounds folder). Apple doesn't put anything there.
The sounds that come with Mac OS X will either be in the /Library/Sounds folder (which is the shared location for all users) or the /System/Library/Sounds folder (don't mess around with anything in the /System folder!).
But I doubt your problem has anything to do with the sound files. Try deleting your sound preferences file, or even just clicking around in the Sound system preferences until they start working again (seriously - I had one Mac that had some audio problems after upgrading, and just turning things off and on a few times eventually worked. It seemed somehow tied to Dictation, so try twiddling those settings too).

Hi mikefrompoland,
For more information about 5.1 Surround Sound in iTunes, you may find the following article helpful (it is primarily aimed at Mac users, but the settings in Windows should be similar):

Note: For surround sound to work, the content being played must be encoded to support it.

Why is there no sound coming from my mac air book ?

why is there no sound coming from my mac aribook?

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 an application 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 restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed a software equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and restart.
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. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart 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.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
14. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Why is there no sound coming from my Ipod speaker?

Why is there no sound coming from my ipod speaker?

Do headphones work?
Do you have volume set to max?
You can try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be 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 defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem then it is likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Geniu Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HDMI no sound with Windows 7 upgrade

I am unable to get sound with HDMI , but visual is working, after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7. G70 series laptop, s/n 2CE92870KS.
Under control panel/device manager/display adapters, what is listed is mobile intel (r) 4 series express chipset family.
Under control panel/device manager/sound video games, what is listed is coexant high definition smart audio 221 and intel high definition audio hdmi.
Under control panel/sound/playback, what is listed is coexant high definition smart audio 221.
I am floundering greatly trying to figure out why the intel high definition audio hdmi is not listed under sound/playback. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks

Hi Jim,
Try this to see if it helps. Download the Chipset driver and Graphics driver on the links below and save the installers to your Desktop.
Chipset
Graphics Driver
Next, in Device Manager, open Display Adapters, right click on the Intel graphics chip and select Properties. Click the Driver tab and then select uninstall. When done, do the same for the for the Intel High Definition Audio Codec found under Sound Video and Game Controllers.
Now return to the Desktop and install the Chipset driver and then the Graphics driver. When complete, reboot the PC and see if this has helped. Check in Device Manager that both the Intel Graphics and the Intel Hi Definition Audio codec have reinstalled successfully and whether you now see the HDMI Audio option under playback devices ( found in Control Panel, Sound ) as shown as the top option on the screenshot below ( ignore the fact that it's ATI, i just mean the TV icon option ).

If it shows up correctly, try the HDMI connection and see if it now functions properly.

Is there compatibility issues with windows 8 & iTunes 11.0.1

I'm sure there's something wrong here, either with iTunes 11.0.1, or its compatibility with window 8.
iTunes became a nightmare, nothing is organized, it do not save modifications, it can not remember what's watched what's not from movies or tv shows, even with the new files I just added.
Even music.
It is not even streaming or synching properly to apple tv (the latest version), it keep on disconnecting.
I tried this is 3 devices, with different brands, two of them with windows 8/iTunes 11.0.1, all the same, but the 3rd is with Windows 7/iTunes 10.7.0.12, it is working great, very smooth, all is well, in all fields.
Plus, All my devices are 64bit, when i install iTunes 11.0.1's iTunes64setup.exe, downloaded from apple.com/download, in my windows 8 64bit, then i run iTunes i got iTunes (32bit) "knowing that from task manager"
what's going on??????
It's a total mess.
I wish i can use another program, rather than iTunes, but I'm stuck, because all my devices are from apple.
please help

That didn't work for me....I have done every concievable action to resolve this....now I am getting pissy......Went through all the suggestions on the support page....I am going absolutely nuts here, uninstall, reinstall, set this default to that....NO ONE KNOWS WHY THIS IS HAPPENING OR IT WOULD BE ADDRESSED ALREADY!!!!!!
Sitting right next to my new laptop is the old one that started out with XP on it. Has Win7 and itunes fires right up. I called my brother, he doesn't have apple products. He just bought a new laptop and did the 8.1 upgrade and guess what? Itunes still won't recognise my 4S....
ANY FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREAT. However, keep in mind I have done everything except throw the laptop and the phone.....
IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!!!!!!!

Why is there no sound in my iMovie project

I have imported my video from my mini dv recorder after a long process of getting the proper cables, now that I have upload the video to iMovie there is sound in the preview of the raw footage but when I create a movie with clips from this footage there is no sound in the playback. What am I doing wrong?

Double-click on one of the clips. This will open the Inspector. Click on the Audio tab. Now check that the Volume slider is not set to the minimum position. If it is, drag the slider to the 100% position, or to your desired volume. Do the same for all other clips. If preferred, you can select all clips at once by choosing "Edit > Select All" from the menu. Now double-click on one of the highlighted clips and you can adjust the volume for all clips at once in the Inspector.
You can also adjust volume levels by dragging the volume line up or down in the blue audio bar below the clip thumbnails (where the waveforms are). To do this, you must have the audio waveforms button activated. It's at the bottom right of the project window, to the left of the thumbnails slider. It's coloured grey when inactive and blue when active.

Audigy ls and no sound with Windows media playe

I have an audigy ls and can play music with winamp, and dvd's with power dvd. However, when i receive audio/video clips via email, i am not able to get audio when i play the clips with windows media player 9. The video works fine. the trouble shooter tells me taht there is no hard ware installed or the device is being used by another program or the device is not functioning properly. i get error codes 0xC00DBA: Cannot play the file and Condition ID = 0x00000000. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you, Sid

Thanks Jeremy,
However, when i try to play MP3's that i can play on winamp, I receive the same error messages as I mentioned above. I know that the MP3's are good... I can play them on winamp without problems. And I've been able to convert them ot WAV files and burned them on CD-R's and they ahve worked fine. the problems seems to be between media player and the sound card/drivers.

Why won't itunes work with windows 8.1? i tunes can not locate my music.

Why won't windows 8.1 let itunes locate my music? I deleted and downloaded, still won't do it. But like majic after I installed windows 8.1 my computer had a XBOX music player appear, that found my 3200 songs and it was able to play the entire library no problem. Any ideas on how i get itunes to start working with windows 8.1?

Hi zachwill10,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To resolve this issue you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
