Part 2. Top 5 Common Problems When Adding Audio to MP4, MKV, AVI, FLV, MPEG
It is not always rosy when adding audio to your video files. There are many problems that cause cannot add audio to MP4, MKV, AVI, FLV, MPEG. And this section will touch on the top five. Make sure you have sought the right troubleshooting solutions for every problem.
1. Noticeable pitch shift- this is a problem with psyching and comes up when the sound is speeded up but the pitch remains low. The resulting disparity can be highly problematic when adding audio to video. This problem is not very common these days like it was in the past but you must always be alert to note whenever it occurs.
2. Sound and picture incompatibility- this occurs when the added audio does not work well with the video. It will happen if the right parameters are not set as you add audio. For instance, you are supposed to ensure the starting and ending points of the audio are marked out clearly. This makes certain that the length of the video and audio match well. You must be extra careful in doing this to avoid incompatibilities.
3. Mismatching sample rates- you probably don't know what this is all about. The software program to use has its own expectations on the sample rate for adding audio to video. That is what you should feed it with. However, giving out a different sample rate will lead to a mismatch. Always ensure there is consistency in the sample rates for your audio when adding to video to eliminate chances of mismatch from occurring.
4. Muted sound- unfortunately, you might notice this moment after you have already added the audio. It can be as a result of many issues but mostly it originates from faulty sound drivers of the computer system. You should check them to notice the anomalies and if it fails you can turn focus to the audio itself. But, the first consideration in case of muted sound is the drivers.
5. Audio can't play- this problem is very common and points to incompatibility among other issues. Obviously, there will be an output error that causes the audio not to play and it's only good you check on the output format of your audio. It should be well compatible.
