Is there supposed to be sound? All I have is a hissing noise. Also, every other video doesn't down load. Any suggestions?

Mine has sound and it records video and takes pictures. I think if you use a 2GB Micro SD card it would work better. A 4GB or 8GB takes longer to download. I have 3 of these and one is a dud! The other 2 work pretty good for a cheap spy camera! If yours is hissing, you may have a bad one, but make sure the mic is clear of dirt or lint as it may interfere with sound! I also take my card out of the camera and just put it in my PC because downloading from the camera DOES take forever and I still have not been able to set up the date and time on mine. They keep showing 2008 or older dates! If you haven't had it long, contact the seller and tell them it doesn't work right! Mine has sound and it records video and takes pictures.

I get some sound but it isn't very good. I tried to download directly from the camera, but it was so slow I gave up. I take the card out and stick it in my computer, works great. I have not been able to directly load to my Ipad, even with video converter app that should work. Only the first 5 seconds of a video shows, then stops.

Anybody have a thumb drive to fix Vizio sound issue? Webpage says it is unavailable. After watching for about an hour, sound gets distorted. Other than that, a great bedroom tv. Or , if anyone had the same issue and solved it, please let me know. Have tried every option on tv audio menu.

Actually hold off, there may be a problem with video video output with the adopter. I'll look into it tonight at work and get back to you later tonight.

Yes I have the same hissing sound on my unit too. Not too excited about it either. I am from Canada, and shipping it back and forth to the USA will be too much of a hassle and too expensive to do, so I'll just keep it as is. :-(

Just be glad you got one cable to work! I never got video or audio through the one I purchased. They just put out poor quality product!

I don't have that problem. I just have a problem with it not recording sound. The video is great, doesn't have blurry issues, I just can't get audio recording. But other than that, it's a good video.

Have similar issue, seems the hdmi out port is to blame, changed all the cables (several times) to no avail. This started after only 6 days, bought because of a relative small number of problems, only to encounter one myself. I have yet to find a fix and not willing at this time to have it repaired will prob send back for a replacement

I would try a new Video in cable, if problem still exists check the hdmi cable. If not a cable problem, return it as the conversion chip may be bad.

The back ground noise is SO loud. I have tried many things to make it quieter because I can't hear the voices and words over the noise. Most recently some one told me to put a piece of bread over it's speaker while recording to cut fuzz, that kind of worked but I would suggest an audio program to cut it out maybe?

Probably a connection issue with one of the components hooked to the TV (mine happened to be a Sony DVD player...) removed that and the hum went away. Gave me an excuse to get a progressive scan DVD player... hooked it up and still no noise. It took me a bit to narrow it down, since I've got so many console systems. ;)

Is the volume on your TV turned up? Is the volume on your phone turned up? It's odd to get video but no sound.

go into the sound options on your computer (which you can access in your control panel) then set your sound default as HDMI, might fix your problem.

So, what is your question? Why is there no sound? Could be many things. I know that my cable came broken and that I had to keep the cable still to prevent it from losing connection. Have you made sure that the cable is the problem (i.e. trying the cable on another device to see if it transfers sound)?

There is a small built-in microphone at the bottom side of the camera. Also check to be sure that sound is enabled on the menu screen before recording.

Whatever it is, it isn't just static - I'll be returning my unit for another one after I dig the boxes out of the trash. If the second one isn't better, I'll move on to another video camcorder entirely. If it didn't have this problem and the sound volume being too low, it'd be great. I could kick myself for not looking at enough reviews before buying!

There is sound while videoing but it is very faint. Cannot have background sound.
