[Adobe Animate CC Latest] Can't Hear Audio I Put In Timeline

[Angel_Scarz]

Please help i created an animation *ActionScript* and imported a .wav audio file when i click play i cant hear the audio im imported into the timeline also when i am able to hear the audio when i go a few frames in and press play i cant hear the audio.

- P.S (Whats the frame by frame keyboard shortcut again? Or is there not a shortcut for that)

if you 'test' your file (ctrl-enter), do you hear your sound?

the period advances the timeline and the comma plays it backwards.

[Angel_Scarz]

yes i hear the sound if i do ctrl+enter

[Angel_Scarz]

i also cannot see the audio waves on the timeline its just a straight red line

[kglad]

increase the height of your layer to see the wave form.

assign your sound's sync property to stream if you want to play/pause the timeline in the ide and play/pause your sound.

[Angel_Scarz]

it is in stream, i still cant hear the audio

[Angel_Scarz]

i also just exported the video as a mp4 and there isn't audio

[kglad]

did you start with a canvas or actionscript project?

[Angel_Scarz]

actionscript

[kglad]

and what are you trying to creating?

a video for youtube?

an iphone app?

something to post on the web?

something else?

[Angel_Scarz]

Just a test animation (mp4) you could say for youtube

[kglad]

do you have quicktime installed on your computer?

[Angel_Scarz]

The flat sound wave, and the audio not working, can be explained by you using 32 bit WAV. Open your WAV in Audition and do a Save As, so that you can change the sound to be 16 bit (and 44.1 kHz while you're at it). If it was already 16 bit you might think about normalizing the sound, to bring its levels up enough to notice the waves in the timeline.

The not hearing the sound when you start from a few frames in is because you have the sync set to Event. Try using Stream. Also, there's currently a bug where if you have Event sound starting on frame 1, the audio doesn't get exported if you do export to video. That will be solved if you start Event sound from frame 2, or use Stream from frame 1.
