    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.
