Lack of sound in video playback: What am I doing wrong?
1187287
Having recently gotten a G11, I was perplexed by this problem as well, saw this post, hit the up arrow on video playback, and voila: sound at last. Somehow I'd missed this instruction on page 33 of the manual: "press the [up arrow & down arrow of the wheel] to adjust the volume." Makes sense, though not so intuitive. One point I'd offer: on my G11 it doesn't matter whether I have operational sounds (shutter, startup, etc.) on mute or at a low setting. Playback audio can still be heard provided one taps the up arrow button. If a number of other people have had the same problem, Canon might want to add this instruction to the troubleshooting pages in the back of the manual.

I am having the same problem. It's saying something about playback might not be a feature on the DVD. Is there anything we can do to fix it?

I'm just curious if you've tried recording something on the video setting and playing it back on your computer to see if the sound comes out. The "speaker" or playback on the cameras are piss poor, not that they should be anything great, but it might be possible that you can't hear it on the camera but the sound pics up on video and you can hear it on playback. Hope that made some sense. I hope it works out for you.

Did you try downloading DivX? It is free and needed to play the videos on my PC. It sounded like the chipmunks with no video.

There's a setting to enable pass through. I've never tried it with audio, but frequently I miss turning it on and will get the video without the speakers.

no i ran across the same problem and forgot that dvi does not carry sound, only hdmi does. so you would have to find another alternative or use a separate cable for the sound

Pretty simple! Whatever it is you're using, you have to go into the sound settings and set it as the default sound output device. So for PC, go to the Control Panel, Sound, and pick it under the playback tab. Same goes for it not working with any other application like Skype. But changing it in the control panel should fix for most, if not all!Should be listed as "USB audio device" .

There are audio settings in the menu, I was able to play with those and get good volume. The TV is at another location so I can't help you with specifics now.

Sorry.Shouldn't need a sound card. Depending on your system config. What OS are you running?

It says it does but I don't hear any sound when I play video back on my computer. I don't know if it's defective or I'm doing something wrong. Pictures are very good.

My StarTech capture card does the same thing. Playback is perfect. Guessing Picture and sound could be offset to compensate for dropped frames if necessary.

Hi Paul Beauparlant,Here are the options that you need to check for you to have sound. Digital Audio Output, Dolby D Compatible Output, Audio DRC and Downmix. Thanks. >Joffrey

I had the same problem and the video playback was choppy. I don't think this product works very well. I wish I had an answer for you.

I run Win7, so based on what version of windows you run, you may have to select differently named buttons/links to achieve this. First of all, ensure that your volume control (lower right corner) is not set to mute. For some reason many times this will default to mute with new devices. If not, try the steps listed below and if that doesn't work, google your entire question and read through the plethora of advice from some great minds that will probably cure your problem. Try this: Go to Start-&gt;Settings-&gt;Control Panel-&gt;Adminstrative Tools-&gt;Services Then locate in the list of services "Windows Audio". Open this service If this service is showing with a Startup type set to Disabled then Select "Automatic" from the drop down list then hit apply. Then click the "Start" button. If this service is showing with a Startup type set to Manual then Select "Automatic" from the drop down list then hit apply. Then click the "Start" button. Next Go to Start-&gt;Settings-&gt;Control Panel-&gt;Sounds and Audio Devices then select the Volume Tab then put a tick in the box marked "Place Volume Icon in the Task Bar" then click apply. With a bit of luck and following wind you should now have your sound restored. I also failed to note that you might be missing some Codecs required to playback this format, if the video doesn't play either. Good luck

I haven't tried that yet, but will ask my husband to do it tonight if he has a wall adaptor and then let you know. It won't play MP4's though, only MP3.
