Was doing some lipsync with studio 4.5 use animate and the audio playback just stopped working? Studio timeline only works if I click the play button, hitting spacebar shortcut no audio? Using puppeteer in preview mode plays audio.

Any clues?

    .... maybe you baked the keyframes? That will disable all tracks

    Thanks for the follow up, however I didn't bake the studio keys and just for kicks I loaded a new model, new scene, reloaded studio, rebooted and even reinstalled the latest version of studio 4.5.

    The only thing I changed prior to the audio disappearance in Animate was keyboard shortcuts for Animate, Studio nagged me about overriding shortcuts however this had never been a problem in the past. I even went back and restored all shortcuts to defaults.

    Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated, I'm currently working on a project with a deadline.

    Just a heads up to anyone who might come across a similar problem. It turned out that I had changed the keyboard shortcut for Animate to the 'Space Bar' DS warned me about it being used, however DS usually just over-rights the other shortcut, in this case it didn't.

    The fix or workaround was to add studio keys below Animate, clear the spacebar play shortcut to animate and re-assign it to the studio keys.

    Keep rendering...

    Hey Virtual Media

    Not sure if I'm running into the same problem as you did or something slightly different.

    I had customized my shortcuts lie you, switching SPACE BAR to Animate2's Play button - and have now switched it back to control Play for the regular DAZ Timeline.

    The behavior I'm getting though is that if I'm inside of Puppeteer and start to record, I don't get any audio (My Audio is included via an Audio Aniblock - not sure if there's a way to include audio on the regular DAZ Timeline in DAZ 4.5 beta, 64 bit - since this does not include the Mimic / Lip Synch options that the 32 bit program does). I have tried unchecking and then re-checking the box under the puppeteer options menu for Play Audio - and it doesn't seem to make any difference.

    If I click the Play icon inside animate, or the Space Bar, I will get audio which continues to play while I record in Puppeteer but the audio gest choppy and crackly whenever I drag my cursor within Puppeteer.

    Don't know if this is a bug in 4.5 beta or some audio engine conflict - or if there's a way to get the audio out of animate2 and onto daz timeline which is perhaps part of the problem. I had been playing my wav files from outside of DAZ but that's not ideal. Will probably just ignore the static / crackling and use the space bar. I'd thought there was an additional problem since puppeteer seemed to be lagging, but changing to less demanding shading seems to have fixed that - plus I've got multiple memory hogging programs open at the moment.
