  • Audio Level Meter not working in CS6 during RAM preview

    Posted by Greg Neumayer on September 26, 2012 at 5:50 pm

    I just upgraded to CS6 and now my audio meter window isn’t working at all. I’ve got audio, just no lights in the levels meter during RAM preview.
    It does, however, give a quick blink at it’s current level every time I stop the RAM preview.

    Is this a glitch? Anyone else have this issue?

    Thanks,
    Greg

    Mr. Neumayer

    Go to Preferences>Previews and check the Audio Preview Duration. make sure its not Zero.

    Also check whether the Audio Hardware and Audio Output Mapping is right or not.

    You can also try to Increase the Audio level. Increase it to +12db and check the meter again.

    Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, they all seem only relevant to not hearing audio. I’m having no trouble with hearing or manipulating audio, except that it isn’t making the meter move.

    Is there an audio preference that may be corrupt that I could trash? Perhaps I should just make a backup of my prefs and try deleting the pref file?

    I had this problem recently. Do you have a Proxie enabled in your timeline? If so, you’ll have to deactivate it for a RAM preview or an audio preview. Buggy.
