  • All audio boxes are greyed out in timeline and won’t play unless I solo one or all layers

    All the audio boxes in my timeline are greyed out. I’m not sure if I hit a shortcut key on accident or what but I can only get the audio to play back if I solo the layers. Please help. Thank you

    Did you find a solution to this problem? I’ve got the same thing happening to me!

    Ok! I sorted it out by saving the project, restarting AE and reopening the project. Just an annoying bug…

    On the timeline just above the layers is a little white dot which solos a layer. Check to see if one of your layers has that selected. I accidentally hit the solo button on a sound layer and it was the only one that would have sound.
