I’ve only exported an h264 mp4 and wouldn’t want to because I want a higher quality format.

For anyone with the same issue.

Ram preview is the best way to see/hear your project in full time. https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/previewing.html

However, if you need to just hear the audio. Quickly. Shortcut decimal point (numeric pad “.”) or on smaller keyboards press “ctrl .” (mac).
