My canon camera is a ELPH 520 HS and the sound won't come out when i play a video i recorded. you can view it and stuff but the sound won't come out, but when i transfer the file onto my computer, i can hear it. how come i can't hear it on my camera?
i have clicked menu already but there isn't anything for sound settings except the shutter, start-up sound, operation, and selftimer. there's nothing for video sound settings. please help me :(
It started working before, the sound just stopped working like a few days ago and i've had it since december

Answer
Maybe because your camera does not have a speaker.

Here is a link to that cameras specifications

is there a canon camera that records uncompressed media instead of AVCHD?

Is there a canon camera that records uncompressed media instead of AVCHD? I hear AVCHD degrades the quality a lot and want a camera that can bypass from the inside. Any help would be great.

Answer
Uncompressed? No. Less compression? Yes. That would be any camcorder that uses MiniDV tape and records DV or HDV format video... Like the Canon HV40, XHA1, XLH series... At Sony, the HDR-FX7, HDR-FX1000, HVR series... if you stay in high definition. There are several standard def camcorders, too - Canon GL2, XL2, Sony DVCAM series... Canon ZR960, Sony DCR-HC62, Panasonic PV-GS320...

I do not know what you mean by "want a camera that can bypass from the inside".

MiniDV tape based camcorders mean your computer must have a firewire port. You will connect the camcorder's DV port (not USB) to the computer's firewire port (not USB) with a firewire cable (not USB). USB-to-firewire/DV cable/converter/adapter things do not work.
