Watching movies on your computer is your favorite formpastime of many users. Recently, for this very often used services like YouTube, but there are still a lot of those who prefer to view their favorite pictures with the help of familiar and functional media players. They are much more convenient, and the ability to change the display format, connect and disconnect subtitles, put bookmarks and labels is expensive.
Do you think that it often happens thatusers forget to turn on the speakers? And often they can not connect them properly to the corresponding connector on the motherboard or audio card? Alas, this happens very often.
So carefully check the connectioncolumns, pay special attention to the integrity of the cable, as well as the correct connection of the plug to the line-level terminal to which the external signal is routed. If you insert the jack into the microphone jack, do not ask why there is no sound when watching the video.
As a rule, the speakers need to be stuck in the greenconnector. If a digital output is used, then it is black. It is best to take instructions to your motherboard and study this question in more detail. With laptops, there is no such problem: green output - for speakers or headphones, and pink - for a microphone.
So, you checked everything and checked it, made sure of the integrity of the cable and the soundness of your sound equipment. Is there still no sound? Well, you have to "dig" deeper.
Most often (almost always) in the absenceThe sound is the fault of the drivers. Of course, there are physical failures of "iron", but this happens very rarely. Given that in most cases our users use motherboards with integrated audio controllers, when the latter fail, the whole motherboard is often "dropped", so it's hard not to notice.
It so happened that the second by caprice (after the image) in the computer is the sound. And the reason for this are just the same drivers, the existence of which many users do not know at all.
If you still caught the times of XP, then for sureremember the wonderful codec AC97. The driver was firstly installed after installing the system itself. However, now also do not forget about the valuable experience of those days.
So, if you are wondering about why there is notsound when viewing the video, first click the right mouse button on the "My Computer" icon (in the context menu click on "Properties"), and then select "Device Manager" in the left part of the dialog box that opens. If there is an item "Sound, video ... devices", then everything is in order.
First, you can try to useservice Windows Update. This is done simply: click on the "Unknown Device" with the right mouse button (where the yellow exclamation mark), select the "Properties" item in the context menu. A dialog box opens, in which you need to go to the "Driver" tab. Click on the "Update" button.
In the next window, click the left keymouse click on the button "Automatic search for drivers." If you have a disk or a flash drive with the necessary files, click on the button "Run a search on this computer", and then specify the directory in which the searched drivers are located.
But why is there no sound when watching a video, even if all the audio devices are detected normally?
Codecs are sets of programs designed fordecoding of audio and video files. The best of them is considered to be the K-Lite Codec Pack. We recommend installing the Full version. You can download it on the official website.
Codecs must be set if there is a crack in the sound when watching a video. This symptom just the same shows that the system does not have built-in tools for decoding it.
Alas, but even the installation of such codecs100% guarantee of success does not. The fact is that such programs are extremely "capricious". Experts generally recommend placing them exclusively on a "fresh" system, since otherwise problems with incompatibilities and internal conflicts can rarely be avoided.
So what to do if the soundwatching a video? We recommend installing a player with a built-in codec set. Such programs practically do not conflict with the core of the system, and the speed of their work is often an order of magnitude higher than that of programs built into the OS. This is what allows them to process even massive MKV-containers, without "hanging" the system even on old computers.
The followingUtilities: VLC, KMPlayer, GOM Player and Daum Player. It is strongly recommended to download them exclusively from the official website. As practice shows, there is no sound when watching video most often because of unsuitable codecs, so these programs in most cases allow successfully to solve such problems.
And again we return to the topic, which alreadywere touched at the beginning of the article. What can I do if the sound disappears when I watch a video in my browser? There are two options: either you change the browser, or put a new Flash Player. However, it is best to perform both these steps.
As for the new browser, the experiencedusers almost unanimously say that the role of the "online cinema" is best suited browser Mozilla Firefox. It has the optimal characteristics, which allow you to enjoy the movie even if you are using a not very high-quality USB modem to communicate with the network.
