Premiere elements 15

What should I do to Change the soundtrack from silent to non-silent? I´ve tryed to adjust the settings "show/hide track", but it doesn´t help.The setting at the soundtrack is "Silent track export without sound" anyway.

    For some of the clips I tried on I had sound during my first tests. But now there´s no sound from any clip. I did no settings for audio, but I must have done something I shouldn´t. Maybe I should do another reinstallation. What kind of settings are proper to use if I work with AVCHD-files?


    If you activated Solo on any track, the others will be muted.

    So check that this is not active.

    In Media Bin it is possible to mute audio on clips.

    What I would do is:

    a) use a player(other than PRE) for video and see if you get sound

    b) record a narrative and see if you get sound on that

    I'm on PC and Windows and what I experienced is that if Windows sounds are set to the same audio driver as a daw I use, that daw get problem to get exclusive access to that driver. But it usually say so when started.

    Just a couple of ideas....

    Sorry, but I'm not able to find the options you are describing and I will not be able to help you. Maybe someone else on this forum has some advice.

    It´s when I put the mouse over the ikon for the loudspeaker that the text appears, I dont´t know if the text i exactly like this, since its a translation from Swedish. The ikon is at the very left in the track for sound. I Think the settings is in the box mixing sound which is found under Tools. In the top there is someting like "alternative for mixing and /show/hide track" and then you get a box from which you can choose to hide or show one or more tracks for sound. But, for me it dosen´t matter if I choose on or off, there is no sound anyway.

    I use AVDHC files.

    I think what you are describing is the option to Mute an audio track. Muting is often done while editing so that you can focus on one audio track at a time.

    To unmute the track, just click on the speaker icon again, as in the illustration below.

    Also per the illustration, I could find no option for Alternative for Mixing and/Show/Hide Track under the Tools menu. Are you sure you're using Premiere Elements?

    Thanks for your help!

    Yes, it´s Premiere Elements 15. I´ve worked with an earlier version of PE and used the mute-funktion without problems. It´s very strange now, when the ikon has a line or stroke as you show in "Muted audio" I can get a help box that says  "Track with sound". But when the ikon is without the line  the help box says "Silent (or Muted) audio (or track)". It should be the other way around!

    But in both cases; no sound.

    By clicking on Tools/Audio mixer I´ve got this box.

    Then by clicking on "Alternativ för mixning" I've got this

    "Visa/dölj spår" means show/hide track". But even if I choose "visa alla (show all) or "Dölj alla (hide all) or pick one singel option the result is the same; No sound.

    Where are you finding a setting for "silent track export without sound"?

    Which Export & Share setting are you using to output your movie?
