Suddenly, no audio in timeline

I opened a short project (10 min video with several overlaid audio and video clips) that was working fine yesterday. Now, there is no audio when playing the video in the timeline, when dragging the "playhead" along the timeline, or when I export the sequence as an mp4 file.

However, if I open an individual video or audio clip in the mixer window, the sound works, so I know the audio is "there." I am an Adobe Premiere newbie. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks.

Correct answer getho

in my case all I need to do is solo one of the audio tracks then unsolo it. I really must get round to doing a bug report...

So frustrating!  Soloing one of the non-working track brought everything back, but sometimes I can't believe how buggy this software can be.

Thanks to all-- The solo/unsolo operation worked. We had already tried copying the whole file, and that didn't work for me.

I have had the same problem.  Two calls to Adobe have not been able to identify WHY the problem persists, but there is a way to get the audio back.

Create a new sequence.

Select all the tracks from the original sequence.

Copy and paste them into the new sequence.

I have done this a few times, and has always worked. 

If anyone can shed light on why this happens, I'd also appreciate it.

I had the same thing.  I just duplicated the file and that duplicate had audio.  Hope that works for you too.
