[SOLVED] videos sound

Hi all,

I have a very strange issue with videos that I have been uploading on youtube and vimeo in the past year or so and I’m wondering if anyone here can

  1. test
  2. offer advice

The issue is on my wife’s computer with an osx.15.7 system. Although all videos appear OK, the sound is not audible. This is not the case on my newer mac which runs on the Sonoma system.

This problem may have started after I gave up Premiere in favour of DaVinci Resolve as my editor of choice, but I’m not sure as today is the first time I have tested our video uploads on a computer other than my. All other content on YouTube and Vimeo my wife is watching is just fine. Also, our logo sounds appear to work as well as sounds from other videos in some of the edits.

I’m posting a couple of video URLs here and I would appreciate it if you can tell me if you can here the speaker.

  • https://youtu.be/RAk4o0pJmCk (has no other ‘edited in’ videos — can not here the speaker)
  • https://youtu.be/yIprd3auncU (we can here edited in video on https://youtu.be/yIprd3auncU?t=346 but not the speaker who appears before and after the particular time).

A final detail is that the videos have been encoded using DaVinci Resolve’s quick export for YouTube, but I also tried custom exports that yielded the same results.

Any ideas about where the gremlins may lie?

On both of the videos you posted, I hear your logo intro in stereo but the talks come through on the left ear only. That may be a clue. Perhaps you need to check your audio settings on 10.5.7, as possibly the L-R balance is set full to the right ear only.

Same for me. Left speaker only for the voice, stereo for the logo and music. Definitely check the channel settings in the DaVinci timeline.

That was indeed the culprit. My wife is using external speakers and one of them was not plugged in properly. I’m nevertheless changing the videos to have the talks in mono.

Classic story. That could have happened to me just as easily.
