I imported an mp3 (I also tried the same file as a WAV) , checked the “audio Scrubbing” box in the “Playback” tab on the time line. Clicked “Caching” as well as making sure the clip was unmuted. I still don’t hear sound. Am I missing a step?
Nevermind. I found out that I had to go to the user preferences, and click “SDL” under the “Sound” option. I feel dumb now.
