Audio Tracks will not play

Hi there,
I'm using FCP 7 for a project that was originally edited in Final Cut 6 (I had to switch to 7 because BOTH my computers at home have crashed today which use FCP6, now I'm up at my office and have to use 7 - bad day, I know).
I'm trying to do some sound edits and only one audio track is playing (tracks 3 and 4) which are the source audio from the XDCAM Footage (note, these tracks have not been soloed - if that's a word). All my other tracks are not working. When played they produce no sound, but the audio meters to the right are moving. When played in quicktime, iTunes, or Finder they do indeed still work.
Audio Output has been set to Default, though I've also tried Built-in Audio Output. I'm using headphones, but it also does not play through the computer. I've also tried speakers. All other audio on the computer is fine - my volume is up.
Sometimes I can get tracks one and two to play after re-rendering.
RT is set to Unlimited, but it also doesn't work with Safe RT.
Any insight into this issue would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Go to Sequence Settings...then the AUDIO TAB. How many tracks of audio do you have? More than 2 and STEREO?
If you right-click on the track patch area on the timeline, you can assign these tracks to audio ouputs...are they set to anything other than 1 or 2?

  • One of my audio books will not play.  My music plays.  And my other audio book plays.  When I try a listen "the singularity is near", It does nothing.  I try and move he cursor to the middle of the track and hit play, but it moves back to the beginning.

    Audiobooks purchased from Audible.com.  They play on iTunes on my computer.  They have been playing on my iPod Classic until two days ago.  I'm in the middle of two books and now one does not keep track of where I am and the other does not play.  I also have other books not playing on the iPod that use to play.  They all play on iTunes on my computer.

  • ITunes 6 tracks will not play

    Since upgrading to iTunes 6.0.1 I have not been able to play any tracks or CD tracks - the track name and other information appears at the top but the diamond will not move - you can advance the diamond but still the track will not play. Any clues? I did try to update 'Quicktime' too but it asks for registration information I don't have.
    G4 Cube 450   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    I feel such a fool for not checking this first off - but who knows it may help some one else!
    While looking in "system preferences' I noticed that there was no 'output device' (even though the volume icon was showing). As my dear old cube uses a USB external amp and speakers a quick tweak of the plug and hey presto it reappeared in the 'system profiler' and guess what - iTunes plays!
    Sorry once again for being stupid - by you never know it my just help some one else!

  • Audio track will not record - picture is fine PE9

    PE9 audio track will not record. Tried in several projects - audio gets through to computer - but the audio is not being recorded. Help please.

    Hi ATR
    Was transferring a client's DVD-R into my Adobe PE9 to do some editing requested by client.
    The audio from the DVD was coming through clearly on my computer speakers but when I finished tranferring I stopped recording and discovered the video track was fine but there was no audio track.
    Tried recording said DVD into some of my other files on PE9 but same thing.
    Since posting my cry for help I uninstalled PE9 and reinstalled it.
    This appears to have fixed the problem as I am now transferring client's DVD-R once again.
    A quick check after a few minutes revealed the audio track is now being recorded with no problems!
    Thanks for your interest.
    Kind regards

  • I just downloaded an album from itunes and 2 of the tracks will not play at all, they cut off. I need help with this??

    I just downloaded an album from itunes and 2 of the tracks will not play at all, they cut off. I need help with this??

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

  • Second part of audio book will not play.

    I recently started to buy and play audio books through iTunes.  Three of my books are in two parts.  For two of those books the second book will not play.  I suspect a syncing issue but can’t figure out how to fix the problem.

    I meant to say the second part of two of the books will not play.

  • IMic USB Audio System will not play in Logic Pro X, help?

    Hi guys.. I'm still pretty new to Logic. I'm currently trying to connect a guitar for recording using a 1/4" cable connected to an iMic USB Audio system. When I plug it in Logic recognizes it immediately, however it will not record. When I play it nothing happens.
    Here's what I've checked and tried:
    In system preferences, when I select iMic as an input and play the guitar the signal picks up successfully.
    In Logic Preferences, I have iMic USB Audio System selected for the input, and system setting for the output (to hear as I play).
    I create a new "guitar" track and make sure it also has iMic selected as its input source.
    It works fine in GarageBand, but not in Logic.
    I've searched everywhere looking for an answer and can't seem to find anyone with this problem! Help!?
    I'm using Logic 10.0.5 on Mavericks 10.9.2.
    Thanks!

    Known problem with 10.0.5 I think, upgrade to 10.0.6

  • Just downloaded the latest version of itunes now most of my tracks will not play to the end of the song.

    Hi just installed latest update to itunes and have just noticed that it will no longer play my tracks all the way to the end mainly stopping around 8 sec from the end has anyone else had this problem have all ready tried deleting libery and re-installing it but still doesnt work. please help
    PS All songs play ok though Media Player so not corupted data.
    Many Thanks

    Just in case, check to see if "Crossfade songs" has been checked in your Playback preferences in iTunes. Here's a screenshot showing where to find it:
    If it is checked, try unchecking it and click OK.

  • Since downloading ver 10.5 MPEG audio files will not play properly on my windows XP computer

    The files are still good as I can play them on Windows Media Player but when played on itunes they are extremely distorted.
    AAC files play fine. This makes itunes pretty much useless on my computer and I am afraid to sync my ipod to it.
    I've tried everything I could in troubleshooting but nothing really seems to address this problem. i even removed itunes from the computer and reinstalled it with the same result. I am new to this community so if this problem has already been addressed and answered, I would appreciate some one pointing me to the solution.
    Thanks

    Possible resolution...we'll see if it takes. I removed all hardware and software that had anything to do with audio and video and then added things back one at a time, testing the iTunes after each reinstall. When I reinstalled my Logitech Quickcam Orbit MP and then started iTunes the error message and the audo problem returned. I removed the cam and then tried again and iTunes was fine. So I think that might have been the issue...although we'll see. At least iTunes is working now and I was able to watch the season finale of Heroes which was a great relief. I am sad to see the Petrelli's dead but at least Hiro was able to find himself. Anyway thanks for all your help and I hope that iTunes remains friendly to me.

  • Last ~10% of audio clips do not play

    My imported music tracks will not play the last approximately 10% of the clip.  At first I thought it was a result of trying to use 6-10 minute music clips, as 1-3 minute tracks never seem to fail,  but found that even trimming off all but the last minute of a long clip (making a 10 minute clip into a 2 minute clip) and trying to use that resulted in it's last 10% not playing!
    The waveform for each audio clip shows up in its Source Tab and is just fine.  But scrubbing or playing the clip works only up to about the 90% point and then sound goes silent.  This is true for the Source player or when the audio is inserted into the Timeline.
    I have converted the original .m4a audio files to both mp3 and wma but always with the same result.  All converted clips play fine in both QuickTime and WM Player players, so it is something within CS4 Premier Pro itself that is failing.
    I have tried everything I can think of without results, and have run out of ideas.
    Any suggestions, anyone?

    I agree re: MP3.  I seldom use it, but I fell into the trap of thinking that since I was having problems with the captured CD and WMA, that certainly Premier would handle MP3, the most ubiquitous format around, without problems.
    So I was really buffaloed when even the MP3 formats failed!
    I usually don't do anything in WAV because the files are so large, but that said I have a 1.5 Tb drive so don't know what in the heck I am worried about!
    Thanks again.

  • Audio cd does not play properly

    I have an early 2008 macbook with a cd/dvd combo drive. My problem is audio CDs will not play or import properly. The music scratches and pops and sometimes there is no sound at all. When I try to import the audio, sometimes the files will only be 10 seconds long, but the track on the cd is 7 minutes. Also when importing a CD some of the tracks in iTunes say "Not Available" where the length of the track is listed. DVDs, on the other hand, play fine.
    I'm not using burned discs. These are brand new audio CDs.

    I just started having the same issue, I just got a brand new cd and when I import the cd I get skips and scratches in the music. I just updated to 10.6 today, and I don't know if it is a problem with the new operating system or with my aging machine (most likely my machine because it is a '06 MB). I know it is not the CD because I can play it on my surround sound at home with no skips. Any ideas how to fix the issue?

  • Track Will Not Burn From i Tunes

    - I have one track on an album in iTunes that will not burn to cd because it is not authorized.  The rest of the album will burn fine.  The track will not play on iTunes or my iPod.
    - My computer is authorized and long has been.
    - I did not buy the track from iTunes.  I burned the entire album as one set from the original commercial 2-cd set.
    - Unlike the rest of the tracks, the one in question says "unavailable" in the track time (length).
    - OS X 10.8
    I'd appreciate any help on this.
    Thank you!

    Whether your computer is authorized or not shouldn't have anything to do with being able to play your own music, added from a CD. 
    When you check the path Musuc > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music is the track you want showing up? You could try moving it to another folder, then re-importing it to iTunes.
    You should also try opening it with another media player just to make sure the data hasn't been corrupted - though it's probably an iTunes problem.
    The obvious other thing is to try and add the track directly from the CD if you have it around.

  • Why do my songs and audio books keep getting erased when I add a new book?  Now some books will not play and the iPod does not keep track of where I was when I pause a book, leave for music and then go back!

    About a month ago I added some new audio books to my iPod Classic and then after disconnecting, I discovered EVERYTHING had been erased. 
    I had to restore through my iTunes but then I could not load my music back on.
    I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and completely reformated the iPod drive.
    I successfully got my music and books back on but then added a new book two days ago only to discover everything got erased AGAIN!!!
    Of course, my 1 Year Warranty was up about a week before the first incident.....
    I formatted the iPod again, uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes (it was freezing during sync) and downloaded all my music and books again.
    Now I have several books that will not play (they play on iTunes and they played on the iPod before all these events) and the iPod does not keep track of where I was in a book when I have to stop and go to something else.
    Does anyone know what is going on with this thing???  I have a 5th Gen Video and in all the years I've had it, I've NEVER had problems like this! 
    Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my iPod Classic up and running properly again?
    Thanks.

    When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised  filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
    The timeout failure could be due to
    Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
    Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
    Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
    Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
    Have a nice day!

  • ITunes 7.1.1.5 will not play audio from inserted cd

    I have been experiencing an issue with iTunes on my PC. It will not play any audio from inserted discs. This includes burned discs and commercial discs. When I attempt to play the music the song will stay highlighted briefly, about 2 sec., and then it goes directly to the next song on the disc. This continues through the disc to the end. I experience the same issue when trying to import the disc.
    I have tried removing the iTunes application and doing a fresh re-install, but I have the same issue.
    Also, this is on a PC, and I am able to open the disc's in question and play the content fine within Media Player.
    Any idea's on this would be greatly appreciated!

  • My new MacBook will not play TV shows, or connect audio with slideshows

    I just bought a black 2 gigHZ MacBook and when starting it up used a firewire to transfer everything from my Intel iMac, as prompted. Seemed to work fine, except: the TV shows in iTunes will not play in Front Row on my MacBook. And in iTunes they will play as video only: no sound.
    Also, I tried to make a slideshow in iPhoto, but I cannot attach a soundtrack from my iTunes plibrary: again, no audio, though the slides play.
    Odd thing is: I can play commercial DVDs in Front Row. No problem. Likewise with iTunes music library. The ptoblem seems limited to TV shows I have downloaded from iTunes music store, and to the slide show/no audio issues.

    hello,
    did you try to authorize you Macbook with your itunes login and password ??
    this must be done manually and is not transferred automatically with other datas as you can authorize up to 5 computers !
    if you didn't already do this, give it a try !
