Audio not playing in timeline

[Faln]

I'm having this weird bug where my audio is not playing on my timeline, I'm running on action script 3.0 and its set to stream, audio can be heard when tested and in swf movie form, i just cant hear it in the timeline

[kglad]

you can't hear the audio when you scrub the timeline?

[Faln]

Yea, I can't hear it at all on the timeline

upload your fla to a file server and post a link here.

[Faln]

I don't have an fla yet, when i noticided the problem Ive been trying to see whats wrong with the audio and have been using the "auto lip sync" template to test audio.

[kglad]

what??

are you using animate?

[Faln]

Yes, its the sample file to the right ive been testing audio on.

[kglad]

click file>save as and save your project.  that will create a fla

your sounds sync property is event, not stream.

[Faln]

I changed it and it still didnt work

[kglad]

embed a screenshot of frame 1's properties panel showing the sound subpanel.

click the control menu item at the top of animate shown by @Arbiter267.  are your sounds muted?

if not, upload your fla to a file server and post a link.

Do you think it can be my settings by change

[kglad]

it could be a lot of things, but it's not a fla or animate problem.

can you hear sound outside of animate?

[Faln]

yea

Im having the same problem

[kglad]

you need user interaction (eg, mouse click) before a sound will play in a browser.

If your audio is set to Stream and you still can't hear it - can you give us the spec on your actual audio file? Sample rate and bit depth is what you need to pay attention to.
Generally, when using WAV or AIFF files, it's best to use 16-22 kHz mono sounds (stereo uses twice as much data as mono), but Animate can import either 8- or 16-bit sounds at sample rates of 11, 22, or 44 kHz.

the sound is ok and plays, as expected, when sync is stream.  the op initially stated the sound was sync'd to stream, but it was not.

so, i'd be sceptical of the op's reporting.
