No problem like this with new update !

I take it you have audio (dialogue ?) tracks, plus separate music' tracks ? And maybe a video ?

Are all tracks routed to the Master (default situation) and what format are you rendering to ?

Is by any chance one muted, or the other soloed when you go to render ? Otherwise everything should render as plays in a 'preview' on the timeline'.

Thanks for replying,

Yes audio, video and music are all seperate tracks.

They should be routed to Master, not 100% sure on that one. How do I check?

Rendering to AVI or MPEG 2 with Dolby Digital AC-Pro

Audio settings are 5.1 surround

Music and dialogue play great when watching on the timeline. For some reason the music does not render .

None of the mute or solo buttons are on either.

You'll need to render your MPG ( do not include audio on audio tab of 'custom' settings), and AC3 in separate steps, and re-marry them back together in DVDA (or whatever you are using to author, if for DVD).

I don't think an MPG file can incorporate AC3 embedded.

Geoff in addtion the time line has nothing to do with it. I pulled the song onto the dialogue time line and it would not render the music. I pulled the dialogue down to track the music was on and it rendered fine. The Song is not rendering no matter what time line it goes in. Is their a setting that would cause this not to render?

This is the way I normally render in a 2 step process. I have tried this and the music is missing. Before I could do AVI and it worked fine too therough a 1 step process. Something has changed to cause this.

Can you think of any other things I can check befotre I deleted and reinstall?

There is unlikely to be a need to reinstall anything.

I'm sure there is something fundamentally wrong that you are doing.

What is different to the AVIs that you were doing before ? AC3 ? If you only have 2 speakers, then the rear channels will indeed be silent and the muysic lost if routed /mixed to those channels.

Try this:

Set up a stereo project with just two audio files. Reneder those to a single WAV - what do you get ?

Then do the same with an AC3 project. Note which channels you are sending each audio track to.
