Audio won't play

Chanimal wrote on 2/4/2009, 8:29 PM
I captured a DV tape to disk. I click on the explorer window and I see video and hear audio.

However, when I drop it to the timeline the audio channel shows the wave but there is no audio when I play it off the timeline--it is as though it is muting the entire track automatically.

Again, there is audio when I preview it in the Vegas explorer--but you can't hear the audio once it is on the timeline.

Anyone see this and have a fix?

Using 8.0c.

to ask the obvious, you don't have the audio track muted do you?

how does it play if you click preview in media?

how are the audio levels to start with - recorded low?

What audio device do you have selected for the track and master audio bus?

1. Possibly the audio of the camera, is set to something not that compatible with Vegas. (I thought I heard 12K / 4 channel mode doesn't work with Vegas)

2. Check to see if you have the right Audio device checked in Options/Preferences

3. Make sure you've checked all effects or turned them off, That you haven't turned your master sliders down to zero,

4. That you don't have a separate, audio track in the timeline with the "Solo" switch engaged (the exclamation point)

Responding to all at once:

- The audio track is not muted. I checked.
- The video and audio play fine (and loud) in the preview panel.
- The audio was recorded off the camera and sounds normal when I preview the AVI file (pulled from a Canon GL2 mini DV tape).
- The audior devices are the default Microsoft device. It works just fine with any other clip.
- The camera audio is not set to anything unusual. Same settings I've used for years.
- it was not recorded with the wireless, etc. so it is in full stereo, like normal.
- master sliders and track sliders are normal.
- solo switch is not selected.

That is why it is odd. I thought perhaps there was a common bug folks have noticed in 8.0c. Guess not. I'll try other ideas.

Thanks

Let's see the properties for that file as reported beneath the Explorer window. Or even better, from a right-click > Properties of the file.

If it's a new problem could try resetting the software.
