Audio from video clips not playing

Question

this is weird, the audio associated with my video clips plays in the viewer, all the audio wave are present, but they are not all playing with the time line. one clips audio starts playing then cuts out. All my other tracks (music) are playing good. I have tried selecting and deselecting, and mute, also tried restarting, rendering and unrendering, and everything else mentioned in other similar cases with no luck. I am running a system with an inadequate graphics card, but this is audio right, simple right?

Answer 1

If your audio is 32 bit, then it's not 16 bit.
You audio will need to match your sequence settings. You are likely looking for audio to be 48Khz/16bit
Take the offending piece of audio and export it with the appropriate settings to match your sequence.
1 Select your sequence, then choose Sequence > Settings.
2 Check the sample rate of the sequence in the Audio Settings area of the General tab,
then click OK.
3 Select the offending audio clip in the Browser that you want to convert to a new sample rate.
4 Choose File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion.
5 Choose AIFF from the Format pop-up menu.
6 Click Options.
7 In the Sound section of the Movie Settings dialog, click Settings.
8 In the Rate pop-up menu, choose the sample rate of your sequence, then click OK.
Make sure the size is kept at 16-bit.
9 Click OK.
10 Choose a new name and location for the new file, then click Save.
Once the conversion is complete, you need to import the new media file into
Final Cut Pro.
11 Import the newly converted audio media file, and use that as the audio portion of your clip.
