History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called "synchronized sound" – began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.
Sử sách ghi lại rằng bộ phim đầu tiên có âm thanh là The Singer Jazz vào năm 1927. Nhưng phim có âm thanh, không phải đột nhiên xuất hiện sau nhiều năm chỉ có phim câm. Từ những buổi biểu diễn trước công chúng lần đầu tiên vào năm 1896, phim đã có kèm theo nhạc và hiệu ứng âm thanh. Chúng được tạo ra bởi 1 nghệ sỹ piano, một ban nhạc nhỏ, hoặc một dàn nhạc đầy đủ; các rạp chiếu phim lớn có thể mua máy hiệu ứng âm thanh. Nghiên cứu âm thanh được tái sản xuất chính xác tại cùng một thời điểm với hình ảnh- được gọi là “âm thanh đồng bộ”- bắt đầu ngay sau khi bộ phim đầu tiên được trình chiếu. Với âm thanh đồng bộ, các nhân vật trên màn hình phim có thể hát và nói chuyện. Vào khoảng đầu năm 1896, một máy hát được chế tạo ra, chạy 1 đĩa hát lớn có nhạc và lời, được sử dụng làm hệ thống âm thanh. Nhược điểm lớn nhất là âm thanh và hình ảnh có thể không được đồng bộ hóa, ví dụ như, kim máy hát nhảy hoặc tốc độ của máy chiếu thay đổi. Hệ thống này chỉ có hiệu quả với 1 bài hát hoặc một chuỗi đối thoại.
In the "sound-on-film" system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually brought us "talking pictures".
Trong hệ thống “âm thanh trong phim”, âm thanh được ghi lại giống như một chuỗi các dấu hiệu trên xenluloit, có thể đọc được bằng một cảm biến quang học. Những tín hiệu này sẽ được đưa vào bộ phim cùng với hình ảnh, đảm bảo sự đồng bộ hóa.Các bộ phim ngắn được sản xuất theo cách này vào khoảng đầu năm 1922. Cuối cùng hệ thống này mang tới cho chúng ta “những hình ảnh biết nói”.
