Simple Audio Question
Hello all. Forgive me for posting a stupid question, but I cannot listen to audio in Premiere Pro. I thought it was my computer but I rendered a short AVI of the clip and was able to hear it. I am new to Premiere Pro (and video editing in general) and would appreciate any advice on this. Thanks.

Check your playback settings (Project menu > Project Settings > General) and make sure it’s not set to play on your DV device. Or unplug your DV camera/deck/converter.
If that looks all squared, go to Edit > Preferences and make sure that your Audio Hardware settings are configured correctly.

We use Premiere Pro 1.5 with the Matrox RT.X100. Our experiences may be different, but this is what we have encountered:
Premiere creates “Conformed Audio Files”. If you have your scratch disks set to a drive that does not have adequate space to hold these files, Premiere will simply stop the conforming process without notification. When this happens, you will not be able to hear any/some audio.
I would first do a search in Windows for “Conformed”, and delete any files related to the project you are referring to.
Next, start a NEW Premiere project and set your scratch disks (Edit-Preferences-Scratch Disks) to a drive that has plenty of space. Conformed Audio Files can take up a huge amount of disk space. I just deleted a folder with 47 GIGs worth of Conformed Audio Files. That is not typical. Usually for us they are around 1-10 GIGs -
Thank you Timothy and Chuck for the quick response and advice. I’ll try both methods once I’m done with a print project and see if either one will take care of the problem. Thanks again.
