Question

Why can't I hear the center channel for this audio clip?

I exported the audio from a scene in Premiere to Audition, and when I play the clip, I hear every track except for the center one. As you can see from the image, there is a waveform in the center channel and it is appearing in the levels panel. Is this a problem with my speakers? I can hear the clip fine when I'm just playing the audio track from Premiere, so I don't think it's that. Any help would be appreciated.

    Can we see a screen-grab of your audio channel mapping in Preferences, and also how your audio hardware is set up in Audio Hardware? And come to that, what audio hardware are you using?

    Actually I've just realised that the reason is pretty obvious. You are playing the file in Waveform view, and in that view only channels marked L or R will play. If you put it into Multitrack view in a 5.1 session, you will hear more of it.
