Question

Only audio when scrubbing, not while playing.

The weirdest thing happened all of a sudden.

Audio on 1 track/clip specifically won't play audio. HOWEVER, when I scrub I do hear sound and you can see the difference in the audio mixer.

 

I tried:
-restarting
-dragging clip onto another track
-deleting cache

i found this on reddit maybe it can fix your Problem:

 

Hi all - I was having a similar problem (no audio playback, bars moving, changing preferences, etc).

 

In the end I reset preferences and the plug-in cache, and (HURRAH!) got sound back.

 

These were the Adobe instructions I followed:

 

'...To reset preferences and plug-in cache at the same time, hold down Shift-Alt (Windows) or Shift-Option (Mac OS) while the application is starting. Release the Shift-Alt keys or Shift-Option key when the splash screen appears.'

 

You should get a box asking you if you want to reset. Click OK.

 

Hope it works for you!

I think you answered your own question: use the beta.

Here you can see it properly recorded with sound and uploaded to Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-UAFGdWegY

 

I'm at a loss here. I can't continue with my work now.

I tried opening the project in Premiere Pro Beta and in there the audio works just fine.

Also tried switching audio output.

It even gets weirder. When I move the playhead some seconds earlier in the clip, the audio does play. EVEN beyond the point where it wouldn't. But when I move the playhead back to the position earlier.... nothing. I can't wrap my head around this.
