FCP Imported Sequence will not play audio (waveforms present)

Hello,
I've imported a sequence from FCP 7 and it relinked with little issue.  My timeline has 10 audio tracks.  Waveforms are present on all tracks.  most all the audio are .aiff files.  I can load the audio into the source player and hear the audio and see the stereo VU meter working normally, however in the sequence there is no audio playing, nothing happening on the VU meters.
I've checked my audio hardware outs, tested with a clip of tone as well.  Tone plays normally in the Source window but modulates oddly on the timeline, but it at least plays.
I've searched the forum but my specifc issue doesn't seem to come up, I am not missing the audio in my clips.
Helpful replies are most appreciated.

I had this problem too.  I'm trying to remember what the culprit was, but check 2 things:
Are the audio tracks enabled?  Right click and make sure they are.
Is the audio level pulled all the way down on each clip?  I think that was the problem for me - I had to go through each clip and reset the audio level to 0...it was set to -∞.

  • Voiceovers suddenly will not play. Waveforms present but no sound comes out. Suggestions?.

    Making slide show from iPhoto pics. Voiceovers working fine, suddenly stopped producing sound though waveforms are present. Using external mike but tried internal mike to no avail. Mike works fine in Dragon Dictate. Manipulated waveform every wat possible to no avail. Any suggestions? BTW is there a limit to how many voiceovers one can put in a slideshow? Total length is 10 minutes.

    Not sure why, but sometimes a project will just cease playback of Voiceovers added to it. I've seen this before, but never had it persist into a new project. As with any issues that are specific to a single project, it's usually best to start over, as one problem is quite possibly indicative of further issues down the line with that same project.
    As a workaround (if you REALLY want to avoid recreating the project) would be to copy the voiceover files from within the iMovie Project file (browse to your Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder and right-click or CTRL+Click on the name of the project, then click "Show Package Contents") for that project out to your Desktop (or any other accessible location), then drag them back in to add them as a regular audio track. I've used this trick successfully, but it's not 100% (going back to the 'one problem means more later' thing).

  • My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books

    My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books. How do I fix this? I downloaded the books from iTunes on my computer. I loaded them on my ipod. It shows them on my ipod. It will go to the menu where you can choose which book and then actually pulls up the book then acts like it is going to play. Then it just goes back to the list of books. It won't play any of them. It will play music though.
    How do I fix this?

    The books do play in iTunes on the computer, right?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and audion book and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • 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!

  • Certain .AVI files will not play audio using QuickTime 7.5

    I have recently updated my QuickTime to QuickTime Pro 7.5. I attempted to play videos in my library and noticed that certain videos will not play the audio, but video is fine. I did not have problems with playing the videos with audio before the update.
    I tried to do some research and many have suggested to install PERIAN 1.1. I have done this, but still no result. I have deleted a lot of important videos, because I assumed that they are no longer usable. I decided to keep most of them and figure out a solution. No luck so far.
    Please help! Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    I'm not really sure what to look for in QT's Movie Inspector, but here's what it says:
    Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 320 x 240, Millions
    FPS: 14.99
    Playing FPS: (Available while playing.)
    Data Size: 11.96 MB
    Data Rate: 2112.38 kbits/s
    Current Time: 0:00:00:13.94
    Duration: 0:00:00:47.50
    Normal Size: 320 x 240 pixels
    Current Size: 320 x 240 pixels (Actual)
    If Pro update were not suited for Intel Mac's, should I uninstall the update? If so, how do I do this? Do you have any other suggestions?
    Thanks again for the reply!

  • Audio Driver Update, Will not play audio via HDMI cable now...

    I just did a driver update for the realtek audio on my Y70 touch.   When I plug the HDMI cable into the receiver (TV & speakers), it will still transfer the image to the TV and reformat the screen, but now the audio will not play unless I make the room speakers the default audio instead of the laptop speakers...   That is just a real PITA to keep switching the default every time I wanted to do something on the big screen with my computer. Any advice on how to fix that?  Preferably without rolling back the driver that was 130MB+ of a download & install that required to restarts to apply. Thanks,                Joe

    I haven't had mine long but I always have to do that with my tower system. (switch playback device for sound). I played a movie on the Z70 last night and go audio without doing anything (so it is different) but the sound level was low even though I checked the outputs were set to 100% HDMI audio required I turn up the sound at the TV end a lot to hear it. I figure I am missing something but did not want to spend the time troubleshoot, rather tha watch the Netfix movie.

  • New image sequence will not play back in real time.

    I built a image sequence of 300 stills (jpegs) and when I ask it to build it at 30fps I can't get quicktime to play it back at that speed. I can barely get the software to play back at .25fps. I just bought the software to assemble consecutive stills from my DSLR and after spending 2 hours on the phone with apple I found out they offer no support for windows users.Is there another software out there that anyone could recommend that edits together stills to form a movie. Any Help is appreciated.

    Premiere is showing multiple drivers, including an old Creative ASIO driver... but I ran a cleaner last year to remove it (not sure why Premiere is still listing this??).  I also have a Matrox MXO2 LE Max installed, which I believe installs an audio driver as well.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "check with system default"?  There is nothing in the Premiere audio hardware preferences that mentions a "default" of any kind.
    Again, this makes absolutely no sense as I've not had any issues for years and worked on this last night... turn on computer today and suddenly it won't play audio in Premiere?!
    Anyway, in my audio hardware preferences:
    - I have always had Adobe Desktop Audio set to Premiere Pro WDM Sound.  The dropdown list there gives me the options of: Premiere Pro WDM Sound, Xonar Essence ST ASIO 64 (my audio card), Creative ASIO, Matrox ASIO Driver for Premiere Pro. 
    - Map Output for has always been set to Adobe Desktop Audio (Matrox Player is my other choice).
    - Even when selecting Premiere Pro WDM Sound, it always displays the Speakers below as "Speakers (ASUS Xonar Essence ST Audio Device)"
    One further note (not sure if it helps)... as I said, Premiere is showing the audio levels, but if I look at the Windows desktop sound it doesn't show any levels (it normally does).  And again... sound is working in every single other program I've tried... INCLUDING Adobe Audition (which has some of the same settings showing as Premiere does!).
    So this is definitely an issue within Premiere... I just don't know what else to do.  Thanks for assisting!

  • After last uppgrade, Quicktime Pro will not play audio on my avi movies.

    After last update, I will not get the audio on my old .avi movies. Does Anyone else have the same problem?

    That actually did the trick. Well played. It would be nice if that were in *any* of the support documentation for AirPlay.
    Many thanks.

  • Airplay-connected Macbook Pro Will Not Play Audio On Apple TV

    After upgrading to a Retina Macbook Pro running Mavericks (10.9.3), I can no longer play audio using AirPlay through my AppleTV 2. The video connection is flawless, yet when going into Sound > Output through System Preferences, I can not select AppleTV | AirPlay as an output device. Is this a hardware issue? Is there another fix available?

  • Adobe Audition will not play audio

    After using Adobe Audition for a number of years I recently imported an audio file to edit but it won't play. I have rebooted, run only Audition and tried different audio files without success. What can I do?

    I have reinstalled Audition and set the preferences to other hardware (both audio and cache) and it is working this morning. Not exactly sure what made it work (although I did say a brief prayer before trying it one more time this morning) but it is working.
    Thank you for your help in working through the issue – it is much appreciated.

  • New videos, one will not play audio others will.

    I purchased five new videos and they all play back fine except one. The one in question has no audio. I checked all the speakers and stuff and did not see a problem. I closed the window and opened the next video and it works fine. All my music plays fine too. Please help...

    I sent an email to iTunes and they issued me a credit. They said evey thing was fine with my computer, it was the video that was not working. I will download it again when the credit comes through.

  • Safari will not play audio from the NPR website.  Thoughts?

    When I try to stream from

    I hear no audio.  If I use another browser on my iMac it works fine.
    Looking for suggestions to fix this for Safari!

    I found this component after doing a web search...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14633
    seems to fix the problem....but I noticed the volume is kind of low when playing this avi file in QT, but when I play it in the Mplayer it sounds a lot louder. And that is with the volume sliders on both QT, and Mplayer maxed out, and using the Macs volume to judge the difference.
    Anyway....
    The reason I want to play it in QT is that I can use my remote to pause and rewind and fast forward...
