Re: Audio not playing in Preview of AE

I FOUND IT!! After all that time searching through my settings, it was a simple switch in my 'Audio Hardware' under Preferences. I've never had an issue like this before. Seems like every time there's an update, some things just get switched around and I have to relocate them. Not a big problem, just kind of throws a damper on things for a while. But I love these programs, so just got to move forward with them! Thank you two for the help. And hey, we all got to start somewhere. This little Mac was a gift from my parents for college. I would love to upgrade to a stronger computer, but unfortunately technology is expensive. I'm only doing speed art videos that are usually less than 10min long, so it works just fine. I am very excited to finish this project finally! Thanks again!

Thank you for replying! I did I little more looking around myself, and messed around more with the settings. Still now luck though. It's not that there is no such thing as RAM preview anymore, but rather, preview and RAM preview are not longer separated. This is confirmed right on Adobe's own website featuring the new functionalities of the program due to their latest update. Right in section 6 (all about previews in After Effects CC 2015 (13.5) | Creative Cloud blog by Adobe), plus there is no more RAM preview button. Here's a screen shot of what my preview panel looks like: Maybe there's something super obvious that I'm missing that you could point out. I even tried checking and unchecking the 'cache' boxes. Tried the keyboard shortcuts, nothing happened. Could it be because I don't have a number 'pad'? I'm using a MacBook Air. It's a small computer, but it gets the job done. Also, my audio is not compressed. I'm using a simple MP3 file that is a separate layer from the visual footage. I've used it the same before and never had an issue. I've only been using Ae since 2015, but I know how to get around with a little memory jog once in while.

Yes, I am a rookie at this program. But I have managed to make some good videos in the past with no issue before whatsoever. I know other people have had this problem too, because I've looked through the forums, even recent ones, but there's has not been an answer yet. So, why am I not hearing any audio at all when I preview the video. I've let it load enough, all my setting are good for the audio, tried pressing (.) on the keyboard, and I have never made any major changes to my settings. Is this because of the new update? Last time I worked with AE was months ago, and it was perfectly fine. I've seen some forums talk about RAM preview, but apparently that's not a thing any more. Is it? I sure don't have the RAM preview button. Any suggestion would be helpful, thanks!
