    So can anyone tell me why I don’t hear sound when I add an audio file to a composition? I hear it when I do a ram preview or export but I don’t hear it in the timeline.

    Help?

    AE must render everything that you see or hear. When you RAM Preview a comp AE will render the video and audio, when you click in the timeline to a certain frame it will render that frame of video but not the audio (as a single frame of audio is a little worthless).

    You can hold down command (Mac) or control (PC) as you scrub through the timeline to hear a ROUGH sampling of the audio, or press . on the numpad to hear an audio preview (defaults to 10 or 15 seconds long). Aside from these techniques, RAM Preview is the only way to see and hear exactly what your comp will look/sound like!
