Hi all,
Recently, I can open Sound Forge Audio Studio (Build 361, 64 Bit) and I can open files, but when I hit the play button, nothing happens. I have deleted and reinstalled the program already. Any ideas would be appreciated!
Welcome to the Sound Forge forum@Anne-Harrigan.
I have more question than answers.
Hi rraud, thank you for your questions. Answers (and solution!) in italics.
So... SF opens normally but will not play an audio file? - Yes. Not only that, but I can do thinks like cut and paste.
Does the cursor, time and meters indicate any playback activity? Nothing indicates any playback activity. I have tried from the beginning of the file and starting in different spots.
Any error messages? No error messages.
Have you tried different file types, specially try PCM WAVE <.wav> files? I have tried mp3, aiff, wav, flac, and m4a files. Play, fast forward and rewind do not work. However, cursor to beginning and end do.
What soundcard or D/A interface do you have?
Have you tried changing SF's playback device type? "Options> Preferences> Audio > Audio Device Type> Playback" Try 'Windows Classic Wave Driver' or 'Sound Mapper' Eureka!!! There was nothing selected. I had two options and neither was selected. When I selected Speakers, it worked fine.
In the same menu, is device type playback routing set to your soundcard?
You're made my day! Thank you so much for replying.
