Audio Static in Premiere 2019 -- but video has fine audio by itself

I just purchased Premiere 2019 (previously had 2015 version).  When I load quicktime movies (*.mov) movies, there is pure static in the audio.  But these movies if played by themselves (not in Premiere) have fine audio with no problems.

What can I do so that the .mov videos will pay correct audio in Premiere?

What computer and operating system?

You didn't give much detail so I'll guess.  Try changing the settings in Preferences > Audio and Preferences > Audio Hardware.

Computer:  Windows 10 desktop-  16gb ram. 

I changed that, and I got no sound vs static.  Note that it just won't play the sound from *.mov format videos but will play the sound fine from other video types.  What additional detail would be helpful?

The next step is to determine the audio codec in your .mov files.  The easiest way to do that is with a (free) program called Mediainfo.  (Using MediaInfo - YouTube )

Premiere Elements does not try to support all audio codecs.  It is aimed at what comes from common cameras.  It may end up that you'll have to "convert" your existing files to a more universal file with something like the (free) Handbrake program.

That does not look like typical camera output.  The audio codec of "raw" is unusual.  Where did the footage come from?

Honestly I don't recall -- it was from a movie I took back in 2007.  I'm guessing some type of video camera at that point.  The interesting thing is that the video does play fine and I can hear the video fine if I just click on it.  But then its pure static if I import it into elements.

I may not have the best answer because I don't know why the JPEG video codec isn't working.  I suspect (but don't know) that  the current Premiere Elements has moved past using that. 

A workaround might be to try using the very capable (and free) Handbrake program to convert the footage to something Premiere Elements likes.   This YouTube tutorial will give an example of how it works. Converting videos with Handbrake - YouTube
