Don't allow any idle files to sit in the iMovie if you know the storage space is not enough.

The solution will be converting the files to a format that is friendly to iMovie and the sound will play normally.

5. Files distortion

Whether its video or audio files, they might suffer distortion if the right exporting and importing procedures are not followed. You might get the video quality looking questionable while audio will not be very clear as you expect. To avoid that from happening, make sure you export or import files of right size that the iMovie can handle without damaging the original quality. Also, everything touching on editing has to be done in the timeline and nowhere else. That is the natural editing section in iMovie and any violation will cause file distortion.
