Monitoring Multiple Audio Channels Media and Sequence

  • July 31, 2020

I'm using Premiere Pro v.14.3.1, and I'm working with a program that has multiple audio channels. However, I can't hear the audio coming out of Ch. 3 or Ch. 4, only Ch. 1 and Ch. 2 are audible. I have tried changing a number of settings with no avail. Do you have any idea about this?

    Correct answer

    I finally figured this out by myself. In order to hear source audio from tracks other than Ch 1 and 2, I had to change the Edit Preference Audio setting by clicking the check box that said Sum multichannel ouputs to mono in Source Monitor.

    Thank you for your response. I just like to clarify that I can't hear Ch.3 and Ch.4 from both the Source Media and Seq. Here are a couple of the screen grabs:

    The following is the Info requested. I've exported it from the Media info treeview. I think the audio issue may have more to do with the Premiere Pro's settings because I can't hear Ch 3 and 4 from neither the source nor seq, and this happens to more than one files that I imported:

    What are the outputs for those channels set to? And how do you have your audio hardware set? Screen grabs of your Preferences/Audio Hardware panel, the audio channels settings for that sequence ... things like that would help.
