No sound
Hi have downloaded Pro tools first. I'm working on a PC with windows 10.
I have never used pro tools before. I have opened a project and imported an MP3 onto the timeline. When I press play the counter works, I can see the sound moving, but no sound is coming out thru my speakers or headphones. I'm not using an interface as I am just working with existing MP3 files. Any help would be good, happy to supply more info. cheers |

Re: No sound
Hey thanks for that link. I have seen this before, but it does not explain how to solve the problem.
It says: "If you are using Windows you will need to use an ASIO driver for your on board audio on your PC. ASIO4All is a generic ASIO diver for windows machines". Does this mean I need to download ASIO4All then I will start to hear the sound? thanks |
Re: No sound
Yes. Download and install ASIO4All. You can then use your on-board sound.

Thank you!

Re: No sound
Hi so now I have downloaded ASIO4All and there is no sound at all on the computer! It has somehow disabled the sound completely!
Any ideas? This is getting a little frustrating. |
Re: No sound
Launch PTF with the N key held down. When the popup appears choose Asio4all and let PTF finish loading. Then goto settings and i/o and press default on all tabs and see if that does it for you.

Re: No sound
Pro Tools will accept ASIO4ALL as a valid ASIO driver. But, if you really want to get the most out of Pro Tools, even PT First, I would strongly recommend you look into getting a decent audio interface. It will make your audio recording life much easier! And things will sound better too.
No version of PT, not even PT First, is just "plug and play." There's a learning curve involved on a number of things. But the reward is being able to create better and better tracks. There are many helpful how to videos on You Tube. I heartily encourage you to find and watch several of them to get familiar with all that PTF can do. This is a good series to start with.. |
Re: No sound
Hey thanks for your suggestions.
I found that I once I had downloaded ASIO4All v2 again. I when into Setup and playback engine and found that I could set the playback engine to ASIO4all and I have sound in pro tools! Which is great! BUT I still have no sound on my computer anywhere else. Any suggestions? |

Now if you are wishing to have all sounds come out of 1 set of speakers, that can be done in many ways, such as: (BEST)-add a monitor/source switcher to your setup(love my Presonus Central Station) (CHEAPEST)- feed both the interface outputs and the computer sound outputs to 2 sets of inputs on one of the many mini-mixers on the market(Behringer, Alto, Alesis, etc)and connect the mixer outputs to your monitors. You can get a mixer with enough inputs for around $40-50 these days(and the technology has gotten so good and so cheap that you'll be hard-pressed to hear anything bad with this, as long as you leave EQ knobs at flat and keep "gain staging" so nothing gets over-driven):o |
