I tried to import videofiles from the SD card of a Sony nex-vg20 camera in the FCPX import window. The .mts files appeared in the event of the library. However the sound is corrupted. The videoimages of the clips seem to be fine Before i dis not have this problem. What has been changed ?

Do you have Perian or A52 installed?
You may not realize it, as it may have been there for years.
Perian would appear in System Preferences, in the last row.
The A52 codec may be present in /Library/Quicktime or ~/Library/Quicktime.
Both of these are known to cause sound disappearing in AVCHD material.

Luis for me you are the best !!!!! Removal of Perian solved the problem. Why did I need Perian for in the past still puzzles me. But I am really grateful that you solved my problem.
Thank you many times !!
Some years ago, Perian was really useful as it supported opening a number of video files directly in Quicktime Player.
I had it installed on my macs for a long time. But it has been discontinued for a while now, and should not be used. Like you, many users installed, and never looked back until recently, when it started to conflict with current software.
I will do so Luis
Yes I did so long time ago when I coupled my iMac via the optical output to a surround system.
How do I get rid of this nasty problem , dear Luis ?
It is Perian which is present in the System Preferences. Can I just remove it or will that give problems with the Optical sound output ?
You should just uninstall Perian and try again.
To uninstall Perian, you should just have to control-click it in System Preferences and choose "Remove Perian Preference Pane", then restart your mac.
Well Luis thx again. I think you are the only person in the whole world who recognized and solved this problem.
