Audio on Sony Vegas won't play

[SparrowKeeper]

Hello. I have recently gotten Sony Vegas 9 pro - but when I import a video or a sound file there's no audio. The video shows - but there's absolutely no sound. And the same goes when I import a music file - the music won't play. I'm very confused - I'm at amateur at this, but I can safely tell you that the audio or the video is not muted. I have installed Codecs - could they be the source of my problem?

Thank you,

Do you have an audio track? Does teh waveform appear in the audio track?

Yes, it does. There is an audio track, and the music does appear. -So I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work.

Very odd.
When you say the audio is not muted there are several places that can affect the sound - the slider on the track header, the mute button on the track header, the volume control on the preview windowm the gain on the audio event itself, audio envelope on the track, mute envelope on the track. On top of that you may have inadvertantly routed the output of teh audio track to a bus which is not mixed with the output. Blimey - I'd never thought about how many choices there are!

Do the volume level indicators next to the track and/or the preview go up and down when it's playing?

Could you post a screen shot somewhere. That may well provide the clues we need.
