Ram preview audio problem

#1

This is the first time i have came across this problem. Im working on AE cs4 on vista 64 .And when i make a ram preview the audio plays back at double the speed. I have gone through the usual suspects ( creating a new file just with the audio, checking preferences, testing the file, different file formats-- wav , aiff , even mp3 --) and there is no way i can spot the problem. The funny thing is that if i make an audio preview it goes at the right speed… im completely clueless and on a tight death line… Haven’t found anything on the web either…
Thanks in a advance

Have you considered, that in fact it could depend on your video content being whacko? If it only occurs on “synced” items, that would clearly indicate that it’s the visuals, not the audibles being the culprit…

mmmm nope… is not the video. there is another workstation involved in this project (xp 32) and everything goes as expected. In fact… i discovered that if shift + 0 it sounds at the correct speed. Is definatly something wrong with ae (the other workstation runs cs4 aswell)

Under your time controls, check under “Ram Preview Options” (Note, not the shift + Ram preview options), then check to see if the frame rate is higher than your composition frame rate. If the frame rate is faster than what it should be, your audio will play back fast during a ram preview, but will be normal during shift+0 or an audio preview.
