I'm using Vegas Movie Studio 17 in a Windows 10 environment. When I place a video with audio on the timeline, the audio track does not display or play in the timeline. How do I get the audio track to display with the video track?
No idea what you are exactly doing, screenshot of the UI please.

@Thomas-Delheimer Your files are "ts" which I recall are problematic with video editors. @Musicvid is knowledgeable in this area and hopefully will be along later.
@EricLNZ is correct.
Your Hauppage files can be converted to MP4 in Handbrake (free), but may contain stream errors, especially if you're recording OTA. ADTS audio is not recognized in Vegas to my knowledge.
VideoRedo, a paid solution, is the most reliable muxer for broadcast recordings because it sanitizes the stream.
You learn something every day in this forum. I have never seen a MPEG-TS file :) Wonder where those come from?
All television broadcast transmissions are AVC or MPEG-2 TS streams, I believe.
My converter / recorder also saves MPEG-2 in the MTS wrapper. One of its first uses was in HDV tape cameras like the HV30 or FX-1.
Transport Streams can fudge through more errors than Program Streams, but do not always make playable files depending on conditions.
Thank you Musicvid and others for responding to my issue. Handbrake converted my file so that the Vegas software functions as expected.
@Thomas-Delheimer Thanks for reporting back. I've marked your post as The Solution and slightly altered the thread title to make it easier for anyone in the future searching with the same problem to find this thread.
In my last comment I would like to correct the name of the conversion software to HandBrake, the software that was recommended by Musicvid.
