Audio loses sink, becomes distorted, and sometimes fails to play back
I’ve been experiencing problems with Audio in Final Cut for a while now, but never something trashing my Prefs and rebooting didn’t cure. But now I’m actually losing my mind. I have a voice over that is split into many different clips which was working fine, but now that I go to do my final export it experiences countless numbers of random problems. The audio will drop out of sink, slow down, the treble will disappear, ect. And every time I export it comes out completely different. Worst of all when I quite and re-open the Audio doesn’t even play. I can see the waveform but its as if its on mute (which its not). I have no Camera audio in my project, just a folly track I exported out of soundtrack and a voiceover, both of which I have converted to AIFF 96/24 in hopes that it was a audio rate issue, but that didn’t help. I’m hoping theres a answer short of reinstalling the whole suite.

Have you tried Audio Mixdown? Also, you might try using Render Manager to delete audio renders, and then re-render. What’s your I/O card or box? Where’s your media stored? How much space is left on that drive? Also, audio needs to be 48k 16 or 24 bit, not 96k. Also, I’d run Disk Warrior.

This one (audio loses sink) made me laugh out loud, sort of in the Eats, Shoots, and Leaves vein. 🙂

The render manager didn’t help, and I converted all the files to 48/24 with no luck. I did try the mixer though, and though it didn’t cure anything, I did find the problem. It seems that, within the duel track audio file, the right track is in sync, but the left track is late. Also when I import any audio in it automatically pans it all the way to the left.
I’m running an ATI Radeon HD 4870. I have all my scratch disks set to the specific project folder, its on a seprate internal drive and I have a good 500GB left.
Also how would Disk Warrior help?

I’ve never heard of only one track of 2 being out of sync. Sorry, but I’m out of ideas. How was the audio recorded and what kind of file is it?
Disk Warrior oprimizes the directory of a hard drive fixing any problems. Since the directory tells the OS where everything is on a drive, it’s really important it’s right. Anytime my computer gets wierd, I run DW. IMHO, it’s the most indispensable software I have (after FCP). https://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html

Its a soundtrack file that I exported as an aif.
Sounds like that might be just what I need.
