Why no sound on videos

why do the videos on XF on my PC play but there is no sound?

Thank you for that but please don't bother. It's embarrassing to admit but I have solved the problem. My speakers were on but turned down to zero. Pathetic....Thanks anyway.

Why no sound but video on tv

HElp

Just so you are aware, all HDMI cables are not created equal, their specs can vary wildly. Call Apple and ask what the proper specs should be. I don't know myself, but one of my video friends told this info, you might want to check it out. I am an audio professional by trade, and am quite awar of cables having impact on performance. Hope this at least points you in a direction, maybe someone on the forum can shed more light. All the best

Hello. The Youtube videos I placed in a site made in Muse, don't have sound and don't auto play in my Android phone. Can anyone tell me why? The same video has no problems when I watch it at the youtube site on my phone. It has sound on an iphone, but doesn't auto play either. Thanks!

Hi Mariana,
Please make sure you have the autoplay checkbox selected from the fly-out options:

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.

I have no sound with videos, using Firefox youTube, etc.) With Google Chrome, I get the sound. Why?

When I try to play a video on Firefox. The movie plays, but there's no sound. I checked ALL of the computer settings, and video settings. If I switch to Google Chrome, and play the same video, I get terrific sound. This switch is done without modifying ANY of the controls....just switching browsers. Why no sound?

Hi TommyB,
It could be a couple of things. You might have accidentally muted audio for Firefox. The article Knowledge Base article [[No sound in Firefox]] will show you how to check.
If that doesn't work, you should look at [[Video or audio does not play]]. This will show you how to troubleshoot any plugin/extension issues that might be impacting your system.
Hopefully this helps!

Why can't I import sound with video into iMovie from digital camera?

This is disturbing. I have a digital video camera that took great video + sound. I import into iMovie (using my DV cable that came with the camera) and get video but no sound.
Now, in the past the sound came in, but no longer. Any and all advise is requested. I have to make number videos of lectures starting Wednesday evening and have to be able to provide video with audio.
Thanks.

Try importing video shot with the camera's internal
microphone. If that doesn't work either, the mic is
not the problem.
I have no problem importing sound with video when using the internal video camera mic. No problem (other than sound quality issues with the speaker being 40 feet away from the camera's internal mic!
But I can play back the video made with the external mic in the camera and the sound is stunningly clear, crisp and loud. It's just a matter of getting it out of the camera into my Mac. I don't think it's the microphone; it must be the computer.
I just find it sad to believe that Apple's software is so limited--even in Final Cut Express HD.

Docked iPod only outputs sound during video to TV

I have a 5G iPod in an Apple dock, connected to my TV using a Monster audio cable and an S-Video cable. For some reason, it only outputs sound during videos or a photo slide show - not at all for music only playback. I'm baffled! Any idea why? It's a Panasonic plasma, and I've tried three different inputs. None work for music, but video is fine.

The iPhone 4, unlike iPod, doesn't ask you to set for PAL or NTSC. In fact, in the SETTINGS/Video menu it only asks if you want to "Start Playing From Beginning", "Closed Captioning" and "Home Sharing". I was surprised it had no settings like the iPod at all.

No Sound on Videos

Ok, so I have a few videos I want to put on my ipod. Well actually I have put them on, but, only one works. I know that you have to convert the files into m4v before putting them on iPod, and that's what I have done. However, previous to the conversion only ONE of those files was an MOV file (.mov) and the rest were mpg/mpeg . The ".mov" video worked on my iPod, sound and video. The others didn't, only the video part, no audio. Why is this? I know that there have been a lot of posts relating to this, but I found my situation to be a little more specific and decided to give it a shot, since the other sweren't so much in my "ballpark" of problems.
Thanks

iMovie does not work with muxed MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 clips
When using any version of iMovie, please note that you cannot import muxed (multiplexed) MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video clips into projects. If you try, one or more of the following things can happen:
iMovie refuses to import the clip and displays an alert instead (such as "File could not be imported because QuickTime could not parse it. -2048").
iMovie allows you to import the clip, however:
You won't hear audio on playback.
You won't see video on playback.
When you export the project to QuickTime, iDVD, or a connected camera, the clip no longer contains audio.
When files are muxed, they contain interleaved audio and video tracks (they're mixed together instead of stored in separate tracks). Because of this, iMovie cannot support them.
If you want to find out if a movie file is "muxed," follow these steps:
Open the original movie file in QuickTime Player.
From the Window menu, chose Show Movie Info.
Click the More Info disclosure triangle in the Movie Info window (if it's closed).
Note the entry next to "Format."
If the format is "MPEG1 Muxed" or "MPEG2 Muxed," you can't use the clip in iMovie. You may want to consider using a third-party utility to convert the clip to DV format for use in your iMovie project.
Note: If you have the QuickTime MPEG-2 playback component installed, it may not change the issues described above. Editing muxed MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files is not supported in iMovie, even with this component installed
Understand about iMovie Now? No under no circumstance should you convert twice. Quality will go downhill and fast. I convert to MPEG-4 ASP (Simple Profile). This is why all my videos continue to play correctly even after the new IPOD updater. I am not a MAC user so I will refrain from suggesting any programs. Folks have mentioned Handbrake although. Learning how to identify the different video formats and the different standards within each is important to success and getting your IPOD full of videos.

Can't hear sounds in videos and games

Can't hear sounds in videos and games? Hello. I have some problem with my SB Li've!. I'm using a Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital (it writes Model: SB0220 on it) sound card, attached on a Gigabyte Intel 945 S-Series motherboard. And I've installed the driver and software from the cd that i got out of the SB Li've!'s original box (Creative SB Li've! series, Release 5.2.3.296), and also installed my motherboard's onboard sound card driver (Realtek High Definition Audio Driver, Release: 5.0.0.5567). I'm running Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3, using 4. Creative speakers.
I'm okay when listening mp3's or Windows system sounds, but when it comes to play a game or watch a video;
I cannot properly (or sometimes completely) hear sounds, if my EAX Equalizer is set up to something else from "No Effects",
I can hear every sound properly if my EQ is set up "No Effects".
Can anybody tell why this happens? I can give more information about my hardware and software if needed. Thanks so much for your time =)

Why did this mini-video fail to go viral?

Why did this mini-video fail to go viral?
I created this short motion graphics project in AE and PR Pro for my hearing protection client in Switzerland for their "Sleep Plugs" product. She asked for a European look and feel, where tasteful nudity is common in advertising. Our target demographic is males, aged 18-35. The client posted it at her Zurich-based company’s website and hoped it would spread virally. We believed there was actually a good chance of that happening since we have three main elements of a viral video: sexiness, surprise, and humor. However, the number of views was much lower than we had hoped.
Please watch the video (it's just 30 seconds) before reading my comments and questions below so that I don't influence your first impression.
https://vimeo.com/63794871
Password: GUNN
Please give me your thoughts on these questions:
1. It was my intention to set the viewer up to expect that the couple was going to have sex, then to provide some unexpected humor when she goes to sleep and snores instead. Did you think that was funny?
2. In an ideal world, this would have been live video, but, for budget constraints, and since there would've been very little movement in a video anyway, we went for a graphic approach, basically a pan across a wide, horizontal photo, with music bed and voiceovers, and logo/tagline at the end. Do you think this was an acceptable compromise?
3. With the outtake-style photos at the end, It was my intention to add a touch of silliness and show that we are not taking ourselves too seriously. Do you think that worked?
4. What do you think of the voiceovers?
5. What do you think of the choice of music? (I wish we could have had Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On"! altho, not sure how big that is with 18-35 year old males in Switzerland.)
6. These next two may be the most important questions: the context the video was presented in. My intention was to have the viewer sucked in by the sexy partial image and want to know more, thinking "What is this? . . . a joke? . . . porn?!?" (remember, they are 18-35 yr old males!) and watch it long enough to get to the joke and the appearance of the product. (I know I have watched several videos that turned out to be ads, but they were so entertaining and well done, I did not mind. In fact, I admired how they sucked me in!)
My client posted the link to the video on her company Facebook page, with the comment "Check out our new video." The link led to her company's official website and the video appeared on a page surrounded by other text, photos, and the company's name. It is my opinion that this took away some of the incentive to watch the video, since now the viewer already knows it is going to be an advertisement. Would you agree?
7. I feel the video should've been presented "in a vacuum", so the viewer would have no fore-knowledge of what it was or why their buddy forwarded it to them. I think links to most viral videos lead to YouTube or Vimeo (not to a company website.) What do you think would be the best method of distribution for this little video?
And, if you have any other thoughts, please let me know.
Thank you for your time and consideration,

Hi Carol,
I have to agree with Jim. A still image screams 'cheap'. If I didn't watch the video with the intention of providing feedback, I would have tuned out after about 5 seconds, before even getting to the 'punch line'. With so many bad videos on YouTube, people's attention span have been reduced to mere seconds. If we don't like what we see in the first few seconds, we tune out and click on another link. I imagine many people who watch this video never get to the end since the moment they see it's a still image that probably won't change to live action, they think 'cheap' and tune out.
For a video to go viral, people have to want to pass it on to all of their contacts. For this to happen, they have to imagine that others will thank them for sharing the video, not roll their eyes and ask 'Why are you wasting my time with this?' "sexiness, surprise, and humor" are not enough for a video to go viral. You also need great execution.
3. Didn't work for me. It makes it look like the commercial and product are a joke, especially hearing the guy's laughter in the background. First the commercial would have to sell us on why the product is worthwhile/needed, which is doesn't.
4. The girl's voice is sexy, but it does not match the visuals, thus it ends up sounding fake and unnatural.
The guy's tatoo is a huge distraction. Is it a human heart? Why is it there?
Low budget doesn't have to mean a cheap look. Unfortunately the titles and the transitions (push, ripple dissolve) at the end also scream cheap. Nobody uses these kinds of effects on TV, so it's best to leave these for home videos and out of any professional work. Push transitions can work, but usually only if it's a quick transition, around 3-8 frames long. Slow push transitions scream 'Power Point', which in turn screams 'cheap'.
Hope this helps!
Cheers

Thank you for your answers

I'm sorry that you cannot get any response from Facebook. I do not use Facebook that often, and couldn't tell you if any functionality has been removed from the latest update. You can always try deleting the app from your phone and installing it again and see if this changes the way it operates.
Possibly someone else that uses Facebook more often can tell you if they have experienced similar behavior. Good luck.

basicly more info is needed

Why would sound distort thru Apple TV

Why would sound thru an Apple TV to either my home theater or whole house audio, as well as playback from an iPad thru the home theater be outrageously distorted? Sound sources include iTunes and a plugin for Indigo 5 (home automation) and the voice Serena for announcements.
Everything was working fine until about three weeks ago, when the distortion started. For several months it had all been working great.
Any help, much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob Z

AppleTV can output audio via HDMI cable, optical cable (if your amp has an input I'd recommend that) or analogue RCA sockets - these are a pair of red and white sockets - left channel generally goes on the white connector, right channel on the red.
There are separate RCA sockets for component video - the component term applies to video not audio so do check you're connected to the audio sockets not part audio part video.
I assume you have a lead with 2 RCA plugs at each end connecting to AppleTV and amp at the other.
By monotone do you mean sound only from one speaker or that it's the same from both i.e. mono not stereo?
I suspect you mean sound from only one speaker. If you get sound from both with other sources on the amp then that excludes an amp to speaker connection issue or a faulty channel on the amp. If this is the case then you may have connected incorrectly to AppleTV or the amp, only have a single connector on your lead or have a faulty lead. It's unlikely but the input to the amp could also be faulty so if there's a spare input try another or swap for testing purposes.
Do not connect to a phono in on the amp as it is a much more sensitive circuit and will sound loud and distorted. A CD, tuner, aux, tape in, TV or similar input should be fine.
If your sound is mono not stereo then either you have a mono setting on the amp, or have possibly encoded music as mono not stereo.

My iPhone 4S has no sound for videos.

My iPhone 4S has no sound for videos. Only videos though, and no matter the source. I can't hear my own videos I record, videos from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc. I'm operating on 7.0.2. No, it's not muted with the side button but I can't figure out why it's not working.

Does iMovie have Sound and Video Effects?

Before i begin filming my college film i wanted to ask and see if imovie has sound and video effects. what i mean is like, say in the film a gun is shot, well does imovie have a shot going off sound? are there sound effects? or am i asking in the wrong place and see if garageband has these?
also, video effects? i know imovie has like sepia and black and white tones among others but can i add other types of effects? if so, what kinds?
thanks!

you're looking for specific effects for your specific needs.. why not launching iM on your MacBook.. and look for your own..???
BEFORE doing a "serious" project, I would allway do some test/dummy projects, just to get comfortable with some software ...
plus:
the two additional audio tracks allow easiely to place small audio snippets, downloaded from anywhere in the web to your movie.. if you need explosions, gunshots, lightsabres, whatever, the iNet is full of sources...
plus:
you can teach iM lots of new tricks by installing/purchasing 3rd party plug-ins, if you need very special effects , iM does not support out-of-the-box.
