Hi,
Seemingly for no reason at all, my Quicktime and Realplayer have
stopped playing audio.
I have checked all the settings, I have made sure there is no mute in
anything, and the sound control panel looks fine.
I have also done things suggested like:
change the output sample rate in the midi and sounds control panel.
open garage band and "play with the settings a bit" (?! - but gave it
a try anyway).
I have also uninstalled and re-installed Quicktime, and updated
Realplayer to the latest version 11.
Here are the versions:
Mac OS X 10.4.11
Quicktime Player 7.5 (149.5)
Real Player 11.0.0 (884)
So, I can play Quicktime media in VLC to get the sound, but I'd like
to get at least Realplayer working so I can watch the streaming
channels like news etc.

I should probably mention that AUDIO (streaming and normal) works fine
in both players, it's only VIDEO audio that doesn't work.
I'm not enough of a Mac expert to know where the codecs live.

/Library/QuickTime/ and possibly also ~/Library/QuickTime/

Thanks - I found some components in /Library/QuickTime - but now what?
I mean, how do I diagnose what/why and how they are broken, and how
they can be repaired?
Sorry to be such a newb on this - but I've done everything else I can
think of. The mac even makes the "boop" noise when I do something bad
when the video is playing, so it's not like something has turned the
sound off.
