If the " Video Play Through Camera " is enabled  it sends all audio
through the FireWire port and mutes it on the computer. This is a
common problem with people thinking they have no audio or  an audio
issue.  Turn this off in iMovie preferences.

Alternately you can check the volume of the movie above the timeline;
many people seem to overlook this.
