What format is the sound file? AM only uses wav files properly.

Also make sure the audio is not muted. It can be muted either in the Sounds folder or in the Action you are using it in, so check both places.

SAVE. Close A:M. REopen A:M. Open project. This routine sometimes helps to 'jog' things...

 

Yes, that may work... it is always a bit embarrising to ask, but I learned from different situations with clients. Don't take it personal please:

- You got your soundcard installed / onboard sound installed

- Your speakers / headphones are on.

- in the windows-sound-settings your windows-sound-sum & stereo-sum are up too 100%? Wave should be on to (just put all the sliders up there...)

One thing that worries me is you say you've "uploaded" the sound again. There is no "upload" in A:M.

 

You can "import" a sound but since you're not describing that right, I wonder if there's some other detail you're not describing right that's stopping us from seeing what's wrong.

Logic would tell us that since the program is the same one you installed and it worked before... it's not the program that stopped working. You've changed something.

 

 

-Do a Help>reset all settings. restart A:M and reload your PRJ.

 

 

-Here's another test... can you start a brand new fresh project, import a sound file, put it in a blank chor and hear it play there?

 

 

-last resort... Do Project>Embed all, save it, and post it AND the sound file here and someone might be nice enough to look at it.

Wow. You give-up REALLY easy. Maybe you are not cut-out for computer animation, maybe just stick to surfing. What version of A:M are you using?

If your "headphones are not on"...wouldn't that be a problem? Or are you using speakers?

 

I know what you mean though, if I can't figure it out it must be that someone else made a piece of crap...because, I don't see how I could possibly do anything wrong. ;)

I've seen posts/users deleted and banned for less than this.

 

I haven't seen anyone banned for such a post so I think you may be exaggerating just a little? (very few people have ever been banned from the forum)

 

The title of the topic 'alright.... dood' should clue everyone in that they aren't dealing with someone very mature. So... note to self, titles are a clue.

 

Looking beyond all of this there is an opportunity here for everyone to learn.

Lesson 1: Don't blame the program for user error

 

As this is the Newbies forum its okay to cut the kids a little slack. This may be the only way they can get past themselves and learn. If someone comes off as overbearing and pretensious or down right rude... they won't get much help anywhere until they learn to be a little more mature.

 

There is a very good chance a short leash will be taken advantage of but then... the delete key is always handy too. ;)

 

 

Edit: Forum members added some useful information for those who want to use Wav files in A:M so thats a good reason to keep the topic too.
