Audio on Menus not playing

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help me.
Using Encore on CS4, I created a project with three motion menus. The text was adapted from an Adobe template and the 'motion'' elements (video and audio) were created in Premiere, saved as an MPEG, imported into Encore as an asset and then alt-dragged to the menus. All of this works well. I then preview and build the motion menus with the preview buttion and everything plays well, the video and the audio (though it would be nice to have some voume control - but that's another story) are great and the menu structure (1st play menu and two subs) play fine. I then build the DVD. Firstly burned directly to DVD, the on subsequent tries as an image and as a folder. On all of them there is no audio on the menus. The timelines that the menus que are fine, the audio works but not on the menus.
In frustration I created a flash file of the same project, and the audio was great. All there. I then went and analysed the DVD folder I created earlier and DVD Shrink found the menus and even found found associated audio as LPCM2-ch but alas, even using this program to compile an .ISO nothing improved.
Any ideas?
Thanks

......... I also do not want them rushing for the remote, to mute loud Menu Audio, only to have to then turn up the Volume, when the DVD plays. I like to "ease" the user into things. I find too many commercial DVD's, where the Menu Audio Volume is about +6dB above the other Audio and hate that. It does get my attention, but in a very bad way. It also scares my Bulldogs!
Good luck,
Hunt
Oh, dear me yes.
The way I have found for menu audio - if you really must have it - is to halve the level from what you think is comfortable, and then set it to loop 20 or 30 times over - you would be surprised at hiw quickly this becomes very annoying.......and now place yourself in your customers shoes.
@ the OP.
As Jeff says, please retry with Dolby DIgital or LPCM, LPCM definitely if you are looping on a tight loop.
MPEG audio is not your friend.

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.

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, and still does play. How do you report a problem with a mandatory apple app?

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.

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?

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?

Midi notes or audio region do not play at the start of a bar?

I am having an issue with a midi loop I have created. If I let the song play a bit until it reaches the loop, logic works just as you'd expect it and everything plays correctly. But if I stop the song, or if I set the song into cycle mode so it repeats, the very first note of the midi loop is ignored, and not played.
So for example, if I set the cursor to start at bar 9, the starting point of the loop, the first midi note is not played. But if a set the cursor at bar 8 and let it play into bar 9 and the loop, all of the notes in the loop play correctly.
I found the following description of the same problem on another forum, but it seemed to suggest that there is no fix for this, which if true, seems kinda bad for a pro application. I was wondering if anyone knew of a workaround or fix to this, because its really annoying missing the notes, or having to expand the cycle region just to get all of the notes to play. Here is the text from the other forum:
_Logic doesn't play the very start of my audio regions when I start playback_
Question: If a region starts at e.g. 1 1 1 1, and it starts playing from the same position, it seems that Logic misses the first few samples - which is especially noticeable with fast-attack transients.
Answer: Apparently Logic doesn't use some kind of pre-play buffering. The workaround is to have your entire song start e.g. one bar later, at 2 1 1 1, and let Logic play from 1 1 1 1. This workaround obviously doesn't work if you've set up a cycle - in which case Logic will miss the first samples when it starts playing as well. Next time it loops through the cycle it does play properly. There's no workaround for this - it's a serious shortcoming of the way Logic handles audio playback. With cycles, you could resort to using the Pause instead of the Play button/command: this will let you start playback from somewhere before the start of the cycle instead of starting at cycle-start (which is what Play does).

I'm having the same problem.
one workaround is to change the delay to +1/192=20 in the delay box in inspector on the given midi track...but this is a terrible thing to have to do over and over again.
PLEASE help if you know what's going on.....I ran logic on my macbook and this NEVER happened. I just bought a macbook pro 2.5 and it's apparently now an issue?
I have searched the net for fixes, and none work....logic does have a pre-play buffer, but it's range isnt large enough to buffer the instrument I'm using...which means the range is less than 1/192...come on....that's messed.
If anyone figures this out, please message me back at [email protected]

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.

.mp3 compressed audio stream dose not play in AIR

Hi All,
We are trying to load stream audio file with mp3 compression in the AIR app using the follwoing code using FLash CS4 -
var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.load(new URLRequest(""http://67.159.30.133""));
snd.play();
This works fine when we publish for flashPlayer 9/10. When we try to publish it using AIR the sound dose not play.
We have tested with another approach, where we are loading sound with .flv compression. Here we are using NetConnection and NetStream method to play the sound. With .flv compression it works well in both flash player version as well AIR versions. On the other side when we try to use NetConnection and NetStream method to play .mp3 compressed audio stream it dose not pl when we publish in AIR or flashplayer.
If anyone having any info to play .mp3 compressed format in AIR file will be very much appreciable.
Regards,
Kaushik

Premiere Pro CS3 PCM audio recognized but not playing back

Hello all,
I have an AVI file which uses the Huffyyuv codec and PCM audio. Premier Pro (PP) recognizes the audio, as I see the audip specs in the project pane.
The following are the properties of the source video:
Type: AVI Movie
File Size: 500.2 MB
Image Size: 720 x 400
Pixel Depth: 720
Frame Rate: 25.00
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:01:11:09
Average Data Rate: 7.0 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
AVI File details:
Contains 1 video track(s) and 1 audio track(s).
Interleave: 1 : 0.50
Video track 1:
Size is 487.04M bytes (average frame = 287.06K bytes)
There are 1784 keyframes.
Frame rate is 25.00 fps
Frame size is 720 x 400
Depth is 24 bits.
Compressor: 'HFYU', Huffyuv v2.1.1
Audio track 1:
Size is 13.06M bytes
Rate is 48000 samples/sec
Sample size is 16 bits
The audio will play on all media players and also on Windows Movie Maker. But on PP, it does not play in the source monitor or in the timeline.
Any help would be appreciated - Thanks in advance!

Well, the PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit should be fine.
Since it is not, something must be afoot. The first thing that I would do is check that that Clip has a CFA and PEK file n the Media Cache folder. If not, then Conforming might not have been allowed to complete, though the Source Monitor should be able to play it, as it relies on the actual source file.
Then, if it's still a no-go, I'd try a Render/Replace for that file's Audio portion.
If that still does not work, if you have Soundbooth, Audition or even the free Audacity, I'd rip the Audio to PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit (yes, I know that is what it already is, but something is not working), and Import that resultant file, replacing any Audio stream from the muxed file.
Now, one quick question, and probably should have been asked first - do you get other Audio to play fine in PrPro? If not, see this ARTICLE.
Good luck,
Hunt

Audio Books do not play

I have seen similar complaints. My audio books won't play audio in Itunes. They used to but not now.

Rass, did you ever get an answer? I've had this problem for months now and can't seem to find a way to resolve it short of taking my desktop into the store.

My audio is suddenly not playing

what does it means when your audio tracks go from green to white? so far I can only say if your tracks are white the @$%#^ sound will not play for whatever reason
Also I have been UNABLE to export my sound to soundtrack pro to clean it up... so far I am hating FCP

how can you loose the waves out of your audio tracks with out even noticing, is there a command for that and if so is there a command to revert that?

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

Elements 9 Slideshow Audio File does not play completely

How do I get an Elements 9 Slideshow to play an entier audio file? Facts: The slideshow duration is greater than the audio file duration. The audio file is an MP3 that fades and terminates prior to the 4:26 duration. No "Trimming" is applied to the audio file.

I'm not sure about this. The tool with which the mp3 has been created is the "Sound Tool" (Tools => Multimedia => Sound Tool) You can also choose for Flash Tool but that is not the one which has been used. There are other pdf readers especially designed for iPad which say that they have a sound tool built in (for the iPad) that should play mp3's. Nevertheless they don''t function as well (so I complained as well, not yet answered) they even don't show the link. The iPad Adobe Reader does show the link, but it does not start. I suppose that they have a built in player as well which is NOT flash. Why otherwise even have the possibility to choose between Flash and a sound tool in Adobe???
By the way talking to Steve is very difficult I think unless you have a direct connection to heaven?

Audio input is not playing sound.

I have a HP Touchsmart 2. I run windows 7 home premium Bit. Whenever I plug my headphones into the left headphone audio jack you can barely hear any sound. For instance if I was playing a movie you can hear some of the background sounds (background music but no speech) faintly. I have checked the master volume and everything is up. The audio plays fine when nothing is plugged in. I haven't messed with any of the settings. The other week I did install Rosetta stone and started using there headphones/microphone that plugs into a different port on the right hand side. All audio seems to be coming through the USB por ton the right hand side now. I don't know how to change settings back. Please help!

Apparently the Audio Midi Setup configuration did not imply that it wasn't stereo. I was not using Audacity correctly to record stereo - but now I am. Problem solved.
