“Error: Opening Sound Component” Message
I just recently started getting the following error message whenever I try to render an animaiton with audio:
**Adobe After Effects error: opening sound component (-2166)**
The same thing pops up when I try to audio scrub along the timeline. I can’t figure out what’s going on. Can anyone help?

What codec are you using for your audio. If it’s not a standard WAV file (PC) or AIFF (Mac), try converting to one of those 2. Even converting the audio to a quicktime file would be helpful. If that works, it’s probably just a codec issue.

I’m getting the same problem, tried converting to AIFF, WAVE and .mov. think it could be a quicktime problem?

Maybe. did you recently install quicktime 7 or itunes?
I’m not sure what to tell you. You could try doing a repair from the AE disk (when you try to install it over itself it asks if you want to repair files)- but I’m not sure what that would do to any of your personal settings.
Is the file working in quicktime?
If not, you could try and uninstall Quicktime and reinstall. But if it’s working in QT, its probably an AE problem. You may want to call tech support.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
