Hello,
This is strange. I never had this problem before. Here's the story.
Recorded a 5 minute video with my Nikon D90 and Sony DCR-SR100.
Connected the Sony DCR-SR100, found the video file, drag and drop. Opened it in finder but no sound? Opened it with VLC, Quicktime, iTunes and still no sound. Everything else works except this one file. I thought I messed up the recording but it works on a PC and works on the video camera itself along with all of the other recordings that's on it.
I transferred a file from my Nikon D90 onto my MacBook with the exact same recording just a different angle and that seems to work, no audio issues. All of the videos I recorded with this camera in the past work with no problems at all. I still have them on my MacBook and audio is fine along with video.
When I connect the Sony DCR-SR100 to my MacBook and try to preview with finder or drag/drop then preview with finder none of the video files that are on the camera play back audio. Video is fine but no audio. This never happened before.
I copy/paste the file from the camera onto a PC and audio works with no problems. Drag and dropped the file onto a USB stick then back onto the Mac. Still no audio from the same file that just worked on a PC!
This makes me believe there is something messed up in my settings on my MacBook but I don't know where. Please help?
Maybe some of this info will help...

DCR-SR100 video file codec: MPEG2 Muxed
Thanks

Ok, the only way to go around this was to upload the video file onto a PC, use windows movie maker to "convert" it to a .wmv with crappy quality. That's the only way these videos will work from my Sony DCR-SR100 will now work on my CrapBook
I've never had this issue in the past with this camera.
What's the deal?!
EDIT:
I tried a new program called MPEG StreamClip, converted to .mov and it works flawlessly. What's the deal? I though Mac's are suppose to be easy. Doesn't matter I don't mind putting in some extra effort in order to make things work.
Problem solved... for now.
