Sound disppeared
I was happily editing and rendering a bunch of home video .avi files with no problem. After rendering the last one, there was no sound. I went back to the project and played the timeline and it is (now) silent but it was playing before. My speakers are not muted and neither are any of the tracks. If I play the clip from within the project media bin is has sound but if I add it to the timeline, it is silent. I can see the stereo sound waves on the track and there is no audio envelope on the track. I closed down and restarted the computer and no change. I tried moving the level of the master mixer but there’s no sound regardless of the setting. Now I don’t know where it should be.
The sound seemed to be fine before I saved some frame captures and added them to the timeline at the end. I ungrouped the video and audio when I did that but I’ve done that before without problems. The audio track has a medium gray background with purple sound waves instead of the normal white background.
There has to be something that I accidentally set but I sure can’t find it. There were a bunch of little edits on this and I really don’t want to have to do it over. More importantly I want to know what I did so I don’t do it again!

Steve, doesn’t appear to be that, ‘cos:-

OK, do try the Master Audio Bus Track Controls or the Master Controls:

You need to right click on the problem audio file,
Go to Switches and then uncheck Mute.Steve Rhoden

No. It’s none of those. The master and the track circle/slash are not active. But I tried it anyway (and did it via the switch) and nothing changes ;-(. I know my speakers are active because the sound is on when I play a clip within the media bin.

Do you have an Audio Envelope pulled down to -Inf on the track(s) in question?

No. I checked for an audio envelope and there was nothing there. Then I added one and the line is right down the middle of the 2 waves like it should be. It seems like the gray background color should be a clue of some type.

Wow, not sure where else then could the problem lie.
Unless its something directly odd with the file itself.Steve Rhoden

There are a few other places you can mute an audio track – check your mixing console. Do you have any other audio track set to solo? If you post your veg file I will try it with my media to see if I can find the problem.

I’m not sure why/how but that did it! I had to look up solo. None of the exclamation marks were “active” but when I clicked on one of them, the track background color changed and the sound worked. Now if I click on the track 6 solo button the tracks look how they did when it did NOT work AND that exclamation is highlighted. Not sure why it wasn’t highlighted before.
Thanks again. I was just getting ready to give up and redo it all.
THANKS!
