PT needs a dedicated audio "Playback Engine" (it can't share one with Windows). If you don't have an external audio interface, you have to use your computer's audio "Playback device"(s). If you download and install ASIO4ALL, PT can use either your computer's HD audio device or one provided by it's HD video card (if you have the it connected to a A/V Receiver or TV with HDMI input). The device not being used by PT is then available for use by Windows. See

When I restart my PC, audio works fine. Can watch Youtube vids, etc.
Once PT First is launched, no audio. Can't hear youtube vids or any playback from PT First. Video is fine.
Tried launching PTF while holding the "n" key...got the "Playback engine" dialogue box. Checked that it was using the correct audio file (I'd previously found the correct one via Control Panel, was the "Realtek High Definition Audio"), but no sound! Also happens when I try to link to any of the Avid tutorials via their email.
Something seems to get changed when I do anything with the Avid stuff...either from PTF or via their email links. Hoping this is a simple fix!
Thanks in advance!!!
