Added a short, hello world (yukk) sound file to the scene. Then clicked the scrub and sync buttons and am supposed to drag the line back and forth in the time line window to hear it, but nothing happens.
Thank you …:spin:

ACKKKKK…:spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin: :spin:
So I went back and just looked at everything and copied the sound bite but didnt do anthing with it, and played it again then when I went to the timeling I could hear the wav! I just dont get it? argggggggggg.

What operating system? If linux for my ubuntu system I had to edit my my /etc/asound.conf file to:

pcm.card0 {
type hw
card 0
}

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm “dmixer”
}

pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1025
slave {
pcm “hw:0,0”
period_time 0
period_size 2048 #1024
buffer_size 32768 #4096
#periods 128
rate 48000 #44100
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}

Then start blender with the -g noaudio flag. Have no clue what to do for other operating systems.

You have to play the sound file (simple [alt]+[a]), before you can scrub it. Well, at least on my computer it does

there’s also a little mute icon that looks like a speaker on the timeline header. dont forget that. Note that blender cannot currently (but may be able to next release) to save the avi or mov with the audio track. Have to use VirtualDub to do that.

Thanks all. I have XP sorry I forgot to say that. I clicked the icon too, I was clicking anything that I thought would help in some way. LOL. Perhaps clicking the play is what made it reconizable.
