The A420 does not record sound. You can add a soundtrack using video editing software on a computer, but you cannot record one on this camera.

Testimonial: "Yes thank you. I had decided that must be the case as I found my book and realised it is only the A430 that has sound ability. Thanks again....Lois P"

Distorted sound playing music from Youtube or BBC Iplayer

First off, most Youtube videos have bad sound but most likely is you need to lower the volume for FLASH via the sound mixer. Both are using flash. Turn down the volume for flash videos. You also have volume control with the video themselves.

How do you get the sound to play back after recording a video. kodak easyshare c183

On page 16 of the PDF user manual, which is labelled 'page 10', it says "NOTE: Audio is captured during video recording. Audio can be heard when the video is played on a computer or when the camera is connected to a TV (page 30)." I think that's a nice way of saying that you can't play the sound in the camera.

When listening to playback just on camcorder i can get sound but when i plug into computer or tv there is no sound. How do i get the sound to play?

Aw, this is very rare. Both digital and analog connection no sound? First, make sure with analog connecting cable working, must be the original JVC A/V cable and 2nd, when connecting to PC, use the software provided (CyberLink) for playing and editing videos. Good Luck

No sound on playback

Try playing any other recorded disc in the Camcorder to check you're able to hear sound from it.

Next, press and hold the Reset button on the Camcorder for 30 seconds then turn it off then back ON.

Then, try playing the disc in the Camcorder.



Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No sound when playing video

hi bearly,

this may be due to codec issues, there are special video and audio codecs needed to give sound to webbased films and videos.
try downloding k-lite codec pack or xp-codec install, reboot and try to access youtube again!

good luck

I have a hdmi input and i dont hear sounds

HDMI definitely carries sound and video. That is what makes it so useful. One cable does it all. If you have HDMI input on your TV and you are trying to play video and sound through your laptop, you have to hook up the cable, select HDMI or digital sound from your computer sound settings and then re-start your computer (while attached to the TV0. Good luck.
