Windows Movie Maker is a great tool to create and edit videos easily. You can also use it to upload videos to Facebook, YouTube, and OneDrive etc. Although it is extensively used by many users, it is not without its share of problems. Users complain frequently about \u2018no audio\u2019 and \u2018audio video out of sync\u2019 issues.<\/p>\n

In this article, we\u2019ll cover the main reasons for the error and potential solutions to resolve the same.<\/p>\n

Solution 1: Restart your system<\/strong><\/p>\n

As simple as it may seem, this method resolves some of the most common issues in Windows. Simply \u2018restart\u2019 your system and check if the video can be played normally.<\/p>\n

Solution 2: Restart \u2018Windows Audio service\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click on the \u2018Start\u2019 menu and type \u2018Services\u2019 <\/strong>in the Search box<\/li>\n
  2. Select \u2018Windows Audio<\/strong>\u2019 from the list of the services menu<\/li>\n
  3. Right click on the service and click on \u2018Stop<\/strong>\u2019<\/li>\n
  4. Again right click on the service and select \u2018Start<\/strong>\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Restarting Windows Audio service this way helps resolve the \u2018no audio\u2019 issue in some cases. If this doesn\u2019t seem to help, you can proceed to the next troubleshooting step.<\/p>\n

    Solution 3: Turn OFF \u2018DTS sound\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open the \u2018Start<\/strong>\u2019 menu and type \u2018DTS Sound<\/strong>\u2019 in the search bar<\/li>\n
    2. Click on \u2018DTS sound<\/strong>\u2019 and in the window that opens, turn it \u2018OFF\u2019 using the power button on the left<\/li>\n
    3. Close the DTS Sound window<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Now try playing the video file in Movie Maker; if the video plays without any issues, you\u2019re done here. If not, try running the program in compatibility mode as explained in the next step.<\/p>\n

      Solution4: Run Windows Movie Maker in \u2018Compatibility Mode\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

      You can try the compatibility mode if none of the above methods work. Compatibility mode is designed for programs to be compatible with the computer\u2019s new OS. It does so by limiting the program to only a few basic features. To run Windows Movie Maker in compatibility mode, follow the steps below.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Go to \u2018C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Live\\Photo Gallery\u2019. Here you will find a \u2018MovieMaker.exe\u2019 file<\/li>\n
      2. Right click on the file and select \u2018Properties<\/strong>\u2019<\/li>\n
      3. Click on \u2018Compatibility\u2019 <\/strong>tab and under \u2018Compatibility Mode<\/strong>\u2019, check the box \u2018Run this program in compatibility mode for\u2019<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      4. Select the \u2018OS\u2019 you are currently using on your computer<\/li>\n
      5. Click on \u2018Apply\u2019<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Now restart Windows Movie Maker and you should be able to play the video file with sound. If this method doesn\u2019t fix the problem, you can verify if the codecs used in the video file are supported by the player. You can also try converting the video file to \u2018WMV\u2019 format. Most users claim that \u2018WMV\u2019 format can be played without any issues on Windows Movie Maker.<\/p>\n

        If none of these methods work, there is a possibility that your file is corrupted and needs repair. Remo Repair MOV is a great tool to repair corrupted movie maker file<\/a> easily in only a few minutes. The advantage is that you are offered a free trial version to evaluate the repaired file before purchasing the software.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
