Audio not playing in Timeline

I have imported an audio file to my project. i tried both wav and mp3. I can hear it in the test but it does not play in the timeline. I have it set to stream, tried other settings there and it's still not playing.

 

This is the very latest update as of Jan 31. I do this all the time and for some reason today it's giving me trouble.

 

Anyone else seeing this issue?

 

Thanks

Dave

I can confirm sound is now broken after the most recent update 😞
I jusyt updated and all of my current files with sound that have worked for weeks now won't play the sound at all. This is bad but hoping for a fix asap as my projects have come to a halt 😞

you can import to stage or import to library, but with both the sound will be listed in the library (window>library).  after selecting it in the library, there will be graphic of the sound in the top library panel and a play button.  press the play button.

 

and your sound's sync property?

 

and your sound plays when testing?

then you can't say the issue is back.  ie, if you don't understand my questions, you don't appear to understand the previous posters issue.

 

i suggest you start a new thread and explain the problem you're seeing instead of adding your comments to a thread that's probably unrelated to what you're seeing.

confirm it's not a fla problem by uploading your fla and having someone test it.  (you may have already done that using another thread).

 

if it works for someone else, create a new fla, save to a desktop folder and import your sound it it and test (with nothing else in the your fla).  if the sound fails in that, too you have a system setting issue (eg, muting of animate).

They tested it and said that there is audio.

when I created a new fla and put the sound, there was none. The thing I find interesting is that when I click "test movie", there is sound in that. I also checked and found that my animate was not muted.
