I have a Kodak Easy share M575 camera that I use to film videos with. It has always worked well for me, except for last night. I uploaded some video to my laptop as always, but when I went to edit them, the audio was basically gone on all of them. I hear it fine when I watch them on my camera, but not after I upload it. I know it's my laptop because i can hear the audio on another laptop. Do you know why my laptop won't play the new video audio? I have a Compaq laptop with Vista.

Hi Cowmer, and welcome to TSG.

I may not be able to help, but it could help someone else here to help you if you gave us some more details ...

Do you have any older videos saved on the computer that you know for sure had working sound and do they play OK in the editor?

Do you hear sound OK for other applications?

How are you transferring the files from the camera to the computer?

What software are you using to edit the files?

The old files all work in everything. It is only the new files that are muted. I connect the camera with a usb, like i did for the working old files. The new files are muted in everything, not just the editor. The audio is automatically muted on the new ones when I upload them.

Are you using Kodak Easy Share software to transfer the files from the camera to the computer or some other way? are you using the exact same version on both computers?

When you say the files work on a second laptop, are you transferring them directly from the camera to the second laptop? If so, try copying one of the problem files from the problem laptop to the second laptop and see if the sound works on them.
