No audio on export

I'm baffled by this problem and really need to find a solution ASAP.  I am using creative cloud, and files fed directly into media encoder are exporting silent audio tracks.  Media encoder appears to complete the export, but the resulting files have no sound.

If I export the same clip from premiere pro from the timeline it works just fine and audio is present.

My theory is that media encoder isn't conforming the audio clips it imports.  Any thoughts or fixes?  Has anyone here had this issue?  Thanks!

It worked for me on number of systems

Whenever you have a project file which has exceeded a particular size limit when exported will result in no audio after exporting media to a file no matter what format you selected.

This is a software issue and nothing to do with your system

When you have more than one audio tracks in a sequence and if that track exceeds a particular size limit then on exporting there will be no audio.

So, how to get that audio in exported file

By default whenever you are working on a sequence in premier pro only one audio track is selected that is lighter in colour than the tracks present below it, so, you need to select all those tracks (i.e. they should be lighter than they are previously) which you want in your exported file, you can do that by just clicking on them

This works fine for me all the time

Happy Editing...!!!

Have you ever found a solution to this, I'm working through the same thing right now in the latest release of Premiere Pro and AME.  How is it possible this still has not been fixed?

Between this - the constant peak file generation, and the fact that Premiere Pro and After Effects constantly fight over my graphics cards and blackmagic cards (I can't have both open at once, so much for multitasking much less the crappy dynamic linking) it's becoming less and less enticing to use Adobe's products on any professional gig.

I had the no audio problem with m2t files once I upgraded to CS6.0.3. I reinstalled 6.0.0 and I'm up and running with premiere. AME still doesn't work because it's stuck on 6.0.3 and I can't find where to uninstall. Really need to use the queue.

I'm having the same issue.

Dual audio, some merged clips, are fine some aren't, can't be bothered to test because I don't want to have to sit through an encode of the whole film just to find out that some audio is missing.

Adobe please fix, this really kills the value of AME and being able to queue at all. I have to say I'm pretty sick of the stupid niggly bugs that the PPro workflow has.

I have never had a satisfactory answer for this problem.  I use to think it happened when uninstalling / re-installing the software, but now I'm having the problem with Creative Cloud on my brand new i7 laptop running windows 8.

The issue is that AME is not conforming audio, or perhaps thinks the audio has been conformed when it hasn't.  I know this because on the one working machine I have I can watch AME conform the audio.  This process does not happen when the audio fails on my other machines.

ADOBE WHAT IS GOING ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE FIX THIS YOUR USERS DESERVE BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's more than likely a local system error.  What you're experiencing is not the norm.

For that brand new Laptop, did you start by formatting the C: drive and reinstalling Windows from scratch?  Most Laptops come with a bunch of crapware preloaded, and it's very possible something on such a system will interfere with Adobe software.

Update:

I have tried this on a second machine running media encoder CS6 and I get the same result. 

I have tried the same clip on a third machine running media encoder CS5 with the settings and it works. 

Another odd thing, the file size created by AMECS6 is 70.0MB, the file size created by AMECS5 is 70.1MB with the exact same settings. 

Is it possible AMECS6 isn't including some information needed to play the audio properly?  I can't believe I'm the only one out there with this problem.  Anyone have anything to add?

FURTHER UPDATE:

I've tried recording test clips on my Sony NX5 (the camera all of these clips were shot with) and I cannot replicate the issue.  All 39 clips recorded on this one card have no audio when I run them thgrough Media Encoder.  Footage shot the next day on a different card is fine.  I'm guessing a bad card could be the culprit, but I don't undertsand how it can cause this kind of a problem.  Can anyone here shed some light on this?

Here's a link to the clip in question www.orderlockwood.com/AMEaudio.zip

I have had the same problem recently, using CS5.5.   I exported a video using a nested audio sequence on one of my tracks that worked fine in another video (I make a weekly show, and I'm using most of the same elements in each video, except the subject matter each week changes).   This week's video turned out without any background music.   I rendered the video twice out of Media Encoder, and both times all the other audio tracks turned out fine, but the one track wasn't rendered into the finished product.   Timeline plays back the audio fine, between these two failed renders I exported a test clip directly out of Premiere and it was fine.   So after the second failed attempt,  I rendered the whole video out of Premiere directly, and it worked great.   This is the first time this has happened.   Really frustrated me, because I threw away 4 hours of render time, and then had to sit and do nothing while Premiere rendered it out (I suspect like most of you, I like to edit while rendering in AME).

PS:   An additional observation, I noticed that the file sizes on both files rendered out of Media Encoder were identical, but the one rendered out of Premiere (with the same export settings) was slightly smaller, by about 10 megabytes (1.34 instead of 1.35 gigs)

Were you ever able to isolate the problem with the media encoder not exporting with sound?

I am having the same problem with CS6. It was working fine this morning and the last 50 exports had no sound at all.

Frustrating for sure.
