The problem is the Audio Sample Rate in Project Settings under the File menu. I've got this figured out on my system after no luck with any of the suggestions in this thread including the so called previous SOLVED solution with no luck there either.

The audio is going in all kinds of crazy speeds, and it only happens in the preview.īesides, there are countless reports of audio problems in AE on the internet, and anyone who's used other softwares can tell this AE behavior is abnormal. And while animation does not necessarily require video editing, it does often require synchronization with sound, so I don't think it's fair to tell people to "study up" as if they're doing something wrong when all they are trying to do is simply preview audio in real time. As far as I know, AE isn't intended only to add effects to shots, it's widely used to do animation too. I've set all the preview resolution options to 1/4, I've checked the "Cache Before Playback" box, and it keeps doing it after caching, I've tried a 6 second WAV file with a 48 kHz sample rate to match the audio hardware configuration. I've got 16GB RAM, 10 of which are for AE, and i'm not running any other software. It slows down even when I merely maximize or collapse the layer view. I have the exact same issue as the OP and, guess what, I'm not editing anything, I don't even have any file in the project other than the WAV file.
