playing preview vid by hitting l key will not play any audio unless i hit l key twice (most times) sometime it plays after first key stoke but hit k and then hit l again: no sound, hit l again while vid is playing sound comes on. This is for all timeline sounds.

 hitting space bar is hit and miss mostly no sound. 

using the play button under playback window mostly audio ok but not always.

Export to pc: everything is ok vid, sound, sync no probs.

Must be my pc because it started happen on ps20u i think (could be earlier) continued in 22/23 and now in just full installed 24u (deleted everything related to pinnacle with revo pro). 

It could even have started after building new pc.

wound anybody have an idea what could be wrong here?

and also I do not have a problem with any other progs playing audio

Do you have any other programs installed and resident that might be diverting/remapping the keyboard? A screen capture program, would be an example of this.

as far as I know only the screen capture with ps. How can I find out if there are others?

You probaly would have known you installed something like that.

You could check for any unusual startup programs in the task manager.

That's a good point. It could be a keyboard skimmer sending your keystokes.  Like a data skimmer used to snatched your user names and passwords. It happened to a friend of mine.  It was a Google Chrome plug in that was set to always run, even when chrome was not running.

Something to check if you suspect your keystrokes are being logged and sent to a third party. 

Make sure the following Chrome Extensions are not loaded in Chrome or any Chrome based Browser. I.E. Brave

Glance networks
Fea keylogger

Next make sure NO extensions are set to run when Chrome is Closed

Under "You and Google", Make sure "Sync and personalize chrome across my devices" is off. 

Check these settings again after a couple days.  If you are being hacked, they will turn them back on. 

 

What happens: 

The hacker gets your google login(Read how below).  They add these two extensions to your google account and don't say or do anything to make you notice. The hacker turns on "Continue running background apps when google chrome is closed". You have  "Sync and personalize chrome across my devices" turned on.  Now any computer that you are logged into, or do log into with you google ID in the upper right corner gets these extensions installed.  It runs even when chrome is not open. The hacker can now see your screens and all the keys you type on every machine that you ever logged into your google account on.  Every app, even when chrome is closed.  Even you bank login info and accounts.

My friend had his entire business shut down and his money transferred from his bank accounts using this method according to the FBI investigation.  The FBI installed a program called Glasswire on his computers are were able to track it down to these extensions sending his info to China.  His company used a google account with google calendar for job status and scheduling for his business.  It spread to all 27 of his service technicians and all 20 of his office employees.  After three months of investigation they tracked it down to a virus on one of the employees cell phones that allowed someone to catch the login information for the business google account.

Google says these extension are necessary for app developers, and does not deem them as a virus or malware when used for good.

Glasswire monitors all Ethernet traffic per application and service, so you can see what is coming in and out and where it is going.  Pretty neat app.  pops up notices when a new app or service uses the Ethernet. 

 

Thank's for trying to help me with my problem, but I've uninstalled every program playing audio, even logitech for my keyboard. 

Checked Chrome for any extension, found nothing there that's in any way suspicious.

it's very annoying not finding the culprit :-(

   

Well, at least you didn't have a key logger on your computer.

Did you try  right-clicking and disabling programs in task Mgr Startup one at a time, restarting, and see if it works correctly?

I've been a PS user for a long time.  I've never experienced what you are experiencing. Very Strange

Yes I did disable all of the progs in the startup but no diff.

While playing around with it I noticed when I wait longer than a sec before hitting the L key after stopping the play it works ok. So far anyway...

Maybe if I wipe my second ssd and install win10 and PS only on that and use it as my editing boot? 

Oh well I just have to try. It's just to frustrating.

I think it started when I rebuild the pc.

 

Post a screen capture of your timeline so I can see your track layout.

I did a copy/past and it came out really large. when I posted it It's blocked pending moderators approval?!

Does zooming out on the timeline make it smaller?

I'm afraid this forum is a bit backward when it come to including images:

Yeah that what I did and nothing happened...that's when I did the copy/paste.

 

I'll try again:

 

Oh wow this time it worked...

I don't see anything unusual.
