Missing first 5 seconds of sound when previewing

SirJames

When previewing an edited sequence, it takes about 5 seconds before the sound starts. When it does start, it is in sync. So no sync issue, just missing the first 5 seconds of sound.

Does the audio track show this? Has a fade-in been added inadvertently? Is it a linked soundtrack to the visuals.

There is no fade-in. My guess is that it has to be a sound driver issue but have had no luck in reinstalling sound drivers. Interestingly, when I export the sequence to file, the sound starts at the beginning in the produced video file as expected. Very weird.

If you'd like someone to take a look, and perhaps come up with an answer, here's how...

1. Save your project. Then, with it on the timeline, click the FILE menu. SAVE PORTABLE PROJECT AS to any convenient folder.

2. Open the folder that contains the saved files and ZIP them all.

3. Upload the zip file to DropBox, Google Drive, MS OneDrive or the like. It's free.

4. Make the uploaded file public (share it) and copy the shared link.

5. Paste the link into this forum.
