I'm using AfterEffects CS6 on Windows 7. During footage preview/playback, I never get any audio. I have the Mute Audio
option in the Preview
panel turned off (audio is not muted). I checked the Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware
settings and found that 1) the only device listed in the Default Device
list is "After Effects WDM Sound", and 2) clicking the Settings
button and checking all of my audio devices (with and without the Device 32-bit Playback
option selected) does nothing.
Am I missing something here? I have to preview my clips in Windows Media Player and then go back to AfterEffects to do the trimming - it's annoying!
