What should I do if I do not hear the sound from the sound output device connected to the
HDMI output port, optical output port, or headphones jack?

HDMI output port, optical output port, or headphones jack. For the detailed procedure, see How do I change the sound
output device?
(page 152) .
❑ If you still hear no sound from the sound output device, follow these steps:
1 Follow steps 1 to 4 in How do I change the sound output device? (page 152) .
2 On the Playback tab, select the HDMI or S/PDIF icon and click Properties.

Why do sound interruptions and/or dropped frames occur when I play high-definition
videos, such as those recorded with the AVCHD digital video camcorder?
Playing high-definition videos requires substantial hardware resources, such as CPU, GPU, or system memory performance
on your computer. During the video playback, some operations and/or functions may become unavailable, and sound
interruptions, dropped frames, and playback failure may occur depending on the configuration of your computer.
