You know, I can’t say positively that this didn’t used to happen in my case. I do know that it’s ridiculous that I can’t work with industry standard WAV files in Vegas without this problem.
I’ve gotten the best results from this google search:

Hey Danny,
No, I’m afraid it doesn’t have anything to do with the .sfk files…tried deleting and redrawing and it doesn’t change anything. This only happens with WAV files on an external drive. The waveform on the Vegas timeline is completely unrelated to what the soundfile is playing back AND as you zoom in and out of the timeline view the waveform changes dramatically. Sometimes there are flatlines between waveform at equal intervals, then you zoom out and it looks normal, then you zoom in and there are random spikes in the waveform…it just erratic.
I’ve continued to research today, and it’s clear that this is a Vegas problem with WAV files on external drives. It appears to have been going on since at least version 10; I personally have experience in both v.11 and v.13. The only thing I haven’t done is contact Sony Creative Software. But it seems that they should already be aware of it…just looks like they are unwilling to fix it.

I am once again researching this problem myself. I see this conversation went cold in February. The last time I researched this, it seemed to be a problem with some audio files being located on an external USB drive. The only way I was able to get the expected audio and waveforms was to relocate the files to an internal drive. Of course this isn’t ideal. I’m sure everyone isn’t having this problem or we’d hear more about it. However, I believe it is a bug with Vegas that Sony has not fixed.

And now I’m at home and I can get to it just fine!
Must be a problem with my work network.

Steve,
I get this openDNS Guide for anything leading to Sony Creative site…whether I type in the address, or click a link from a google search, or a link from an email from Sony Creative…or even from within Sony Vegas Pro’s own help menu. Any attempt in any form to reach a Sony Creative Software website page results in this.

“…the “supported formats” test checks out…”
What is this exactly? Is this a function of Vegas? Or a soundcard app?

I haven’t looked into this subject in a while, so maybe some new developments are out there…
But, if you were to output “surround” or “multichannel” via spdif it would have to be Dolby AC3 or DTS, and to my knowledge, Vegas (or any other program) does not do this on the fly.

Asked a friend in the office to try it on his Mac as well…no luck, same result.
Could it be something with either our router in the office…or even our ISP?

Indeed! Tried different browsers: Firefox (default) and Internet Explorer. Also tried both browsers on another computer. Clear caches of all kinds. Ran registry cleaner, ran Hijack this…all clean.
It’s very strange if I’m the only one having this problem.

I avoid search toolbars like the plague! There is no logical reason why I shouldn’t be getting to sonycreativesoftware.com short of the site being down. I can get any other site.
Update: I did however get someone on the phone that would help me register my product. But I still can’t get to their site in any way. Very frustrating.
