    ERROR: opening sound component (-2166) ?

    Posted by David Mattock on December 19, 2005 at 10:29 am

    Hi, I am getting the following error in my lateset AE project
    ——————–
    error: opening sound component (-2166).
    (10:44)    ——————–

    I get this sometimes when I Ram preview but sometimes its ok?, but If I try to render I always get this error and it wont render unless I turn off all my audio layers, … any ideas ?, Ive never had a problem with sound before. they are just wav files

    Thanks in advance

    Its OK, After reading through other posts with the same problem I shockingly found out it was because I had the latest version of Quicktime Pro and it was the culprit which made AE 6 Pro error.

    Ive upgraded to 6.5 and this has sorted the problem. If you cant upgrade you need to go back to quicktime 7.01

    cheers
