Can't hear audio when manually moving playhead

This is a very basic question, but I can't seem to find an answer through either the discussion forums or through HELP. I'd like to be able to hear an audio track in the editor by manually moving the playhead (not by selecting the PLAY button) back and forth. Is there a way to do this in Garageband? I can do this in Soundtrack Pro with no problems, but I don't seem to be able to do this very basic editing procedure in Garageband.

I probably shouldn't have said 'almost impossible'. You can hit 'play' but it's running in real time, which for me is awkward. I'm used to being able to confirm what a waveform actually is by listening to it while moving the playhead.
It's not the same thing, but what might be helpful is to use the cycle function, and then zoom in if you want to drill down.
A sneeze doesn't have a specific signature -- it has of course an attack and sustain. Unless you actually hear it, you can't tell. Coming from the audio world (radio broadcasting) where precision audio editing is a requirement, I've learned to rely on scrubbing when editing commercials.
What's that?! Using your ears? I'm sorry... I don't quite follow.
Another thing you might find helpful is to use Contour Design's Shuttle Pro. While it works with Garageband, it can't add any features that aren't already there, so while it can move the playhead, it can't actually scrub audio.

It's just what you're used to doing I guess.
I'm not a big scrubber, but I know some audio folks can't live without it and I would imagine most pro DAWs support it. I agree - it's all how you like to work and it may be that GB isn't the DAW for you.

Rendering & Playback issues + can't hear audio when editing videoclip

Hi,
I have two issues.
#1: While editing my video, is there a way I can see the video and hear the sound at the same time? I've been trying to edit a video with no sound... very difficult to place a background for example at a specific time when I can't hear my voice, I can only see the video.
#2: After rendering, when playback in Quicktime for exemple, I can hear the sound but no video is playing. Why is that?
Thanks

Dont know why the last print screen is blury but it says:
Fomart: Windows Media
Output Windows MEdia Video 9
Include : Project Link
Output Audio: On
Post-Render Action - none

I can not hear audio when preview a clip, but after producing the project, the audio is fine

as the title, i installed Captivate and use Text to speech features. after editing the slide and converting the transcript into audio, i click the play button at the bottom of timeline, i hear nothing. but when its produced, the audio works......
so weird

Hello,
Please check the Audio Icon, on the bottom left of the Timeline:
Is the Audio not muted, as in this screenshot? Often one overlooks the most obvious things.

When I enter video in timeline, does not show on monitor. when I play video, can only hear audio.

So within the past couple of days, when I load video into the timeline it does not come up on screen. When I play video, I can only hear audio. If I click on monitor, I get still frame of video. Also received window saying we have detected an incompatible display driver. Not sure why this has happened all of a sudden....

Does your Premiere Elements 10 run on a computer with a NVIDIA GeForce video card? If so, which specific NVIDIA GeForce card? If your computer is not using a NVIDIA GeForce video card, then that Announcement at the topic of the forum does not apply to you. This particular issue is specific for Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce.
If all that did apply to you, what version of the driver did you roll back to?
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
If you do not have a NVIDIA Ge Force video card, something else, and you have only one video card, then try deleting the BadDrivers.txt file. In your Windows 7 64 bit, the path to it should be
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
10.0
and in the 10.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

I have video clips with 4 channels of audio, I can only hear audio recorded on channel one, how do I hear the other channels......?

I have video clips with 4 channels of audio, I can only hear audio recorded on channel one, how do I hear the other channels......?

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?     Elements 13 on Windows 7
What is the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded these videos?        ony PMW 320
When you import them into your Premiere Elements project, what does Premiere Elements Properties for that import give for
the audio description in the way of number of channels? If you open the Audio Meter (Window Menu/Audio Meters) and you play back
the video in the Premiere Elements Editor, how many channels does the Audio Meter display?
I just drag and drop video and when playing back only channel 1 will appear
What is your intended export for this video in terms of audio as well as video compression and formats?    MP4
I think you can only use audio if it's recorded on channel 1 or it does not recognize it.
Thanks for the help if possible,Kevin416 873 8374

Can't hear audio in mac PE 9

I can't hear audio in my sceneline or timeline when playing clips. Makes it really hard to edit!
i capture video/audio from my mini-dv sony cam or from vhs through firewire gadget...
i added an m4v file to the project, couldn't hear audio either
the audio is there, because if i just trim off the ends and create a dvd it has audio....
The problem is on my mac mini... i installed it on my i7 laptop and audio works just fine.
i've checked all the audio settings on both machines and they are the same.
both have vlc and perian installed
just installed the 9.01 patch... no change
does anyone know what might be causing this?
thanks

I've tried changing those to all possible combinations.... System Default, Built-in Output, etc. nothing helps.
on the mini, if you have speakers plugged in, it shows "headphones" as the only output option
i notice in the "audio output mapping" it shows headphones 1 and headphones 2
that seems strange as there is only one set of headphones
i checked my laptop settings ...there was nothing selected on my laptop in audio output mapping
"nothing selected" was not an option on the mini... so i renamed my prefs file and started PE again
then i had nothing selected in the audio output mapping... but it still didn't work
i forgot to mention something.... if i click on the slider/trim thing, and just hold down the arrows on the keyboard to advance the video, it advances at super slow motion and i DO get audio... so i think i have preferences set right.
any other ideas?

I have an iphone4 and i can only hear calls when i use speakerphone. I'm trying a master reset but how do i back up my contacts from my address book??

I have an iphone4 and I can only hear calls when I put them on speakerphone. The people I'm on the phone with can hear me I just cant hear them. I am about to try a master reset but how do i backup my contacts from my address book? Does itunes do that when i backed up the rest of the stuff on my phone?

Back it up in iTunes! Just make a backup of the entire device but make sure you check sync contacts and the option to add contacts from phone to address book on computer.

Cant hear audio when I scrub

How to hear audio when I scrub in project library. Cant hear any sound when I scrub. I do when it plays back I move9

Scrubbing or 'skimming' as Apple calls it is controlled by a button on the Toolbar in iMovie:
The button on the left hand side is an audio waveform with a red-line drawn through it. This indicates skimming is turned off. To turn it on you just click it and the skimming feature will return.

I can't hear anything when making calls no dailing tone or anything but when I try and audioface time it works fine please help

I can't hear anything when making calls no dailing tone or anything but when I try and audioface time it works fine please help

Hi Nfrith1,
Please take a look at the article referenced below, the same as in my original reply. The receiver on the iPhone does not have anything to do with the speakers on the bottom of the phone nor your microphone.
Clear the receiver
The iPhone receiver won't work properly if it's blocked or dirty. Here's where the receiver is:
Follow these steps, testing after each:
Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver, such as a case or film.
If you have a new iPhone, remove the plastic film on the front and back of the device.
Check the receiver opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the receiver opening with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
While you're on a call, turn on speakerphone. If you still can't hear, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try calling again later or from a different location.
Restart and update
Restart your iPhone and test again.
If there's still no sound or poor sound quality, update to the latest version of iOS.
Get more help
If you've tried these steps and there's still no sound or poor sound quality from your iPhone, contact Apple Support.
Learn what to do if other people can't hear you on a call.
If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound quality is poor on iPhone
Take care,
