Blender 2.5 render will not export sound

  • 772

I have tried several formats, but my blender animation render will not have sound. In blender, it plays fine when I press the play button, but there is no sound in the render. Can someone help me with this? Thanks!

In Response to devius: According to the terminal, ffmpeg was not installed. I installed it. Now should it work? It takes a long time to render and I don't want to start it unless I know it's going to work. Update: After installing ffmpeg and restarting, there was still no sound on render. I took the exported file without audio and combined it with the audio track in OpenShot. Good workaround, problem still not fixed. I am marking Explorer' s answer as the answer, even though for me it still doesn't work.

    You should have ffmpeg as an output option in Blender.

    In terminal, check whether it's installed or not:

    ~$ ffmpeg
The program 'ffmpeg' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

    When you installed it, check if it's included in the format list in blender:

    enter image description here

    If not, you need to download and reinstall blender. For some reason you have a version that was compiled without ffmpeg support. You could try one of the new 2.49 RC builds.

  2. I had the same problem and the reason was that the audio codec was not enabled.

    In the Render tab, choose the MPEG format and you will see a section called Encoding. There you can choose the video codec and the audio codec. For instance, try MPEG-4 and MP3 and you will hopefully get the audio in the output file.
