Hi, guys. I’m using Premiere Pro 7 and I had the same problem and corrected it this way. Project > project settings > General. On the right side there’s a button called “Playback Settings”, it opens a DV Playback Settings window. There you have “audio playback”. Mine was set to “Play audio on DV hardware”. I changed it to “Play audio on Audio Hardware” and that solved the problem. Seems very stupid, but sometimes that’s where problems come from. I hope I helped.
