  Audio Woes

  Posted by Deadeyessmiling on September 10, 2007 at 10:04 pm

  I’m having some problems with the RAM preview and audio. I can hit the period key and hear audio just fine, I can RAM preview without audio just fine, but when I try and do both, AE just freezes and never does anything. I’m working on a project timing effects to audio, so the capability of doing this is pretty important.

  AE 6.5 Pro
  Windows XP SP2
  Pentium 4 2.40 GHz
  2.0 GB RAM
  Sound Card: Creative SB Audigy LS
  Video Card: ATI Radeon X1300 Series 512MB

  My memory and cache settings are all set at defaults:
  Max memory usage: 120%
  Max RAM Cache Size: 60%
  Maximum Disk Cashe Size: 8000MB

  I also have Open GL preview rendering on, if that affects anything.

  Thanks ahead of time!

  I was recently having some audio preview files with AE8 and my Mac.

  I have a hunch my problems were not of the same origin as yours but I’ll tell you how I fixed mine.

  In addition to the built-in audio capability my Mac has a 3rd party firewire audio card. I UNINSTALLED all the drivers for that and then deleted the AE prefs file.

  I quit AE and then went into my sound prefs and reset all my drivers to the built-in defaults.

  Then again deleted prefs and relaunched AE.

  That seemed to resolve everything for me.
