“Hi, I have few vital AVI files and I am trying to play them in QuickTime. I am able to see only video, but the audio is not coming through. I really hope that there is a solution to play those AVI files without any issue. Any ideas on what I could try to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.”
Experiencing certain problems and errors is common while playing AVI video file. As we all know there will be a solution for every problem. If one manages to have enough patience while experiencing issues with video files, then it gets easy to deal with any sort of difficulties. At this point of time, foremost thing you need to check is does all your AVI files refuse to play audio in Quick-time or only specific files happen to display the issue. Next you need to verify whether the AVI files which are not playing audio in QuickTime, can play sound in other players?
Upon completion of these two verification steps, you can conclude either the issue lies in QuickTime or in AVI files.
Case 1: If all other AVI files are also not playing audio in QuickTime then it is understood that QuickTime has glitch. So try to fix it by following below techniques:
1. QuickTime may not give audio output when AVI file is encoded in a format which is unreadable for QuickTime. So check whether QuickTime installation has decoded all the AVI video files or not
2. Most of the audio-correlated issues arise by missing codec which do not come with QuickTime. To play an AVI file in QuickTime, it must have all needed codec. So install all missing codecs
3. There might be a chance that old installation files are still being referred by QuickTime application. This will result in improper file rendering and cause absence of sound. To solve this: Launch QuickTime > select Edit menu > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences> Audio tab > select the check box ‘Safe mode (waveOut only)’ > Apply > close QuickTime and re-launch it. Play your AVI file
Case 2: If only specific AVI files are not playing audio in QuickTime and all other AVI videos are playable without any audio-video issue then try to play such AVI files in other media players. If you experience no sound issue in other players too then those AVI files might be corrupted. So you must utilize Yodot Video Repair program to fix this no audio issue in your precious AVI files.
