UPDATED video for DaVinci Resolve 18: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3vKYWBqedqdjrc

[@knexchange]

I was going to cry out with frustration. You have no idea how grateful I am that you created this video. Thank you much Jason you're amazing!💓💓💓

[@JasonYadlovski]

You’re welcome! I’m grateful to be able to help fellow DaVinci Resolve Users! 😁 glad you got it working! 😁👍

[@mystic7splace]

Here's one solution you didn't mention. Sometimes a setting will change under "Speakers". If you go into "Speakers" and check the properties you'll notice that the frequency has changed. In my case it read 44kHz. It has to be 48kHz. As soon as I changed that, I got audio from Resolve again. I found that solution buried in a long thread about this problem on BM's forum.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Awesome, thanks Duke! I Appreciate you sharing that, hopefully it helps out some people! 😁👍

[@hihelloitsg7307]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I ended up watching part 1 first and then coming here. What worked for me was changing the preferences, and setting it to my headphones manually. What was odd was that It didn't work at first, even after closing davinci and restarting it (as it advised me to)...So for those who might have run into this issue when changing the preferences, try again and it may work! ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Nice, glad you got it working! Thanks for sharing!

[@MexicanGhost2013]

Ever since I downloaded davinci 17 on windows 10 this has happened to me everytime I disconect the headphones. If i want to get audio out of the headphones I have to manually select them & restart davinci 3 times. It is better for me to never unplug them from my jack to avoid this issue. It worked perfectly on 16, and still works perfectly on every other program. Davinci gotta fix this asap. Laptop is new & so are the headphones, i reverted back to 16 & the issues went away

[@hihelloitsg7307]

​@@MexicanGhost2013 Agreed! They definitely need to address this. I've never had issues with my headphones, so when I opened up my current project on resolve, I was confused as to why no audio was coming through. I'm glad you found a fix, fortunately it's still working for me, but If i need to, reverting back 16 may be a good idea, thank you.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks for sharing your experiences. So weird why this issue popped up with DR17. Hopefully BMD fixes it in the next update.

[@GamerDogyes]

For anyone in the future who STILL isn't getting sound, this worked for me: (Keep Resolve open in the background) On Windows 11: 'Settings' > 'System' > 'Sound'> scroll down to 'Volume Mixer'> under Apps, next to the Resolve icon, press the little mute icon next to the volume bar.

Thank you for parts 1 and 2 of these really helpful videos. It took a lot of work on your part to compile all those solutions.

After trying all the options in your videos I finally got everything working again by restarting Davinci Resolve. I sure learnt a lot along the way though.

[@MalcolmWalker]

Thank you for covering the Bluetooth headphone issue. When you talked about the Patch settings with the Bus 1 out, I checked it after turning on my Bluetooth headphones, I get no audio with the message audio output not found pops up and continues to pop up. I checked the Patch settings and found in the audio destination under audio output, It is blank with no box options under it. I restarted DaVinci and the Bluetooth headphones work perfectly (as they always have if you start DaVinci with them already paired to the PC). I checked the patch settings and the headphones are present. Not sure why it is like that but the restart is all that works for now. As always you have excellent content that helps a lot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge as it definitely helps me learn this program.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey Malcolm - Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s helpful for me as well as other people. Whatever reason it seems like whatever is available when DaVinci opens is all you can use and if something gets disconnected or changed I can’t see it without a restart. Very strange but hopefully make make an update to fix it at some point. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day!

@@JasonYadlovski Hey, this is my last hope before i give up. I just lost hours worth of audio after editing some of the footage. It shows the track still there, but it says it's muted and for some reason i cannot unmute it this program is killing me please help

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! Sorry to hear you’re having troubles, I know it could be very frustrating. So here’s the things I would check, first check to make sure the track is not muted directly below the track name. Next check the Davinci Resolve itself is not muted, if you’re in the other tab it should be a little speaker icon directly under the viewer. Next I would select the clip and open the inspector and make sure the volume is up and it’s not muted there. Also double check your bus one or your main output to make sure that’s not muted. If it seems like the program is acting strange, save it close it and open it again. If it’s still not working and you have your back ups enabled, reload back up. I’ve got videos on how to do that if you need to. Those are things that start with, hopefully you figured it out already but if not maybe this will help. Best of luck, feel free to drop another comment if you need some more help.

[@ArdinVincent]

For me, the problem is almost always related to bluetooth headphones. Every time they connect, Davinci recognises them as something unique and thusly assigns no audio output to them. There are 100 other problems created by the use of bluetooth with Davinci that I'm surprised they haven't stated it's non compatible.

[@JasonYadlovski]

I agree, I would not recommend using Bluetooth headphones w/ Resolve.

Jason, as I started a new project in Davinci 17, I had changed the frame rate to 60 and then something was telling me to go to the fairlight tab in the same screen starting the project and I could see what the problem was. I run a desktop PC with a Scalett Focusrite 2i2 with an XLR condensor mic. The "sample" rate for my PC which has to match the Focusrite in the app tray in Windows 10 to 44,100 and that also has to match with ANY other setting in ANY other programs. Once I adjusted this in DaVinci starting the new project, my audio worked perfectly fine. Hope this helps anyone else that was beating their haeds against the wall.

I'm on youtube in another window, so I know it is, but I wanted to see if *another project* on Resolve had audio. All my other projects had audio. If I opened the current project FIRST - NO AUDIO. If I opened another project first, instead, and then loaded the problem project in thereafter (through the same Resolve window/ instance that loaded with audio working, but with another project loaded before the problem project), voila - audio.

Hi! I keep all my media and video files on an external SDD while I’m editing a project. I use a Samsung T5. The drive is plenty fast. When I’m done with the project I moved the media to a larger Drobo external drive for long term storage. You can move your files now and just relink them. To keep the project intact.

Thankyou so much for making this comprehensive guide to fixing the davinci audio issue. Found out it was an issue with system default audio settings. It was set to an audio mixer I forgot I had installed.

THANK YOU - finally the audio playback started working! After I went through all the settings you mentioned, it turned out that the only problem was with Windows advanced audio settings... Simply changed "16-bit 44100 Hz CD" to "16-bit 48000 Hz DVD" and all audio problems are gone 😄

Thx a lot for your tips, Jason, at least helped me to now get out sound from DaVinci to my loudspeakers. Cool! But as soon as I´m adding a video (without tone), the sound starts to crackle heavily and I can´t find the reason for it. It´s a really powerful PC (Ryzen7, 32GB RAM, GeForce RTX, Win 10) and in all apps except DVR17 the sound through my Focusrite Saffire 6 USB is cool. Where does the cracling come from? I´m really desperated.

[@JasonYadlovski]

You're welcome! Thanks for checking out the video! So I had a similar problem, but I'm not sure if it's related to your problem. For me, I was getting some crackling in my headphones, but also in my mic when I was recording directly into Resolve. I found that my audio interface was getting some electrical interference from one of a few things - my cell phone was right next to it, It was close to a bunch of my computer wires, or the cord was laying on my monitor stand. I adjusted all those things and then it went away. That said, is it in the recordings in Resolve or could it be that something is causing interference with the headphones? Another thing it could be is - does your sample rate in resolve match for the project and the audio clips? How about the sample rate of the headphones? I believe you can set that in Windows. Hope one of these might help you out. If you have trouble still, feel free to reach out again. Best of luck!

Greetings Jason thank you for the knowledge! however I don't have the speaker setup option at all coming up and I have the latest version of Davinci. Any reason you could think of?

[@solgodis9999]

Also when i switch to ASIO under audio i/o i hear and see volume and sound bars moving but then my sound to any other app/internet the sound disappears, like davinci is the only app that can use sound/volume. i recently updated my intel graphics acceleration because i was getting that notification i was getting when i opened davinci and i noticed i have upgraded actions, buttons, commands, etc. however after that no audio on davinci yet i had it at first.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Interesting, have you found a fix for the issue?

[@solgodis9999]

@@JasonYadlovski No I even reached out to daVinci resolve support and they ask me a bunch of questions just to tell me that they only assist people with the paid versions lol What I’m picking up is that I just need a newer computer my computer was made in 2017 and even though everything is updated as it shouldn’t be having that issue

My problem was not that there was no sound but that it came and went. Audio played, then it stopped. When I stopped playback and then started it again, sound returned briefly then stopped again. I exported the soundtrack to Audacity, exported from Audacity as an mp.3 and then imported it to Resolve, deleting the original audio. The new audio played perfectly. No trouble. But what was going on?

[@JasonYadlovski]

So weird, I don't know why so many people have audio problems. Seems like it's always different reasons for different people. Wish I had a better answer.....

[@AlbiTheShroom]

My current issue isn't specifically about not having any audio, but that it doesn't play audio in some occasions. When playing through the timeline, the audio can be heard, and when I manually drag the timeline pointer to advance, I can hear the audio as well (albeit very choppy since it's not a consistent framerate flow). However, sometimes the latter ends up losing audio completely. When I drag throughout the timeline with my mouse, nothing can be heard, and it's making it a lot harder when trying to sync things up and get things perfectly edited. I have no idea if this is some setting that I end up clicking, or if it just ends up happening randomly.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! As long as you have Audio Scrubbing ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHmzmqtmfpmkrtk ) turned on, you should hear the audio when you move the playhead. Check that settings to make sure it's on.

[@AlbiTheShroom]

It's incredible that I've used Davinci Resolve for 5 years, and there are still so many features that I didn't know about.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Same here! I’m always learning new things. I feel like I hardly know anything! 😜👍

[@daysandwords]

You probably covered this here, or maybe in a different video - but sometimes it just straight up FORGETS that the audio is there. I know that sounds like user error but it isn't; I've had it a few times on really big projects, where for a GIVEN FILE, there is audio is SOME of that file and not in the other part. Open it up in explorer, and the audio is perfect for the whole 2 hours, but in Resolve, only a certain part of it (often the majority) is gone, while the first part of it is fine. If you copy the track to a new track, voila, it's there. So that is absolutely forgetting, because it can't be a Bus issue or anything else, since everything was identical for the part that was working. Thanks so much for these videos!

[@JasonYadlovski]

So crazy, I don't know why that would happen. I'd try deleting all of the render cache for the project and see if that helps. Not sure it would do anything, but maybe Resolve is running out of resources...

[@marco.nascimento]

[@traceyteichmann7889]

Hey there Jason! Thanks for the tutorial on this, it fixed my audio issue again. The problem is that it seems to happen with each new project and I have to go through all these steps again and it's super frustrating. How do I make this a permanent fix? Travis

[@JasonYadlovski]

You can setup a new project setting preset and make it the default for every new project. Then all of your settings should be good to go. I do have some videos on that.

[@GroovyKim]

Hey just wanted to say that I found if I set my speaker output preferences, in Fairlight, to something OTHER THAN what it is supposed to be (like DigitalAudio, instead of Realtek), save it and then put it back and save again, often the audio will come back on. Hope this helps!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Nice, thanks for sharing that! 😁👍

[@DronescapingBritain]

ok thanks very much you have given me some ideas to try. I use a Steinberg URM28 audio interface I think like the Scarlet Interface you mentioned it runs on ASIO which is usually for the VST Plugin and ultra low latency drivers, so musicians have no or very little latency whilst performing. I dont want to change my interface as I have a finely tuned DAW using it with hosts of set up plugins but using Da Vinci Resolve 17 has given me no end of audio glitches I have been through all my buffer and other settings to no avail. I now think a workaround you mentioned might be bluetooth earbuds. I wonder if DR 18 has 'resolved' this issue yet? I am currently working on a large project, so taking your advice I will finish that first before installing DR18. I don't see from their text whether or not DR 18 has fixed the audio issues? Would anyone know? Many thanks again for you great videos!!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks! I'm not sure if they fixed the audio issues. I've never had any problems, but I know a lot of people on PCs do. I've never had any problems on the PC I use occasionally either, so it's hard for me to tell if the problems were fixed.

[@HighFunctioningMedium]

Hey Jason, would you mind doing a walkthrough on how apply the new update or get it to take? I'm having the damndest time with new 17.2 update not letting me extract the zip file so it can take effect

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! That’s strange, I’ve never had a problem with any of the updates. Sometimes I do it directly through resolve and other times I just go to the website and download it. I’m on a Mac I have not had any problems with it. 🤔

[@HighFunctioningMedium]

@@JasonYadlovski looks like i have to uninstall then reninstall from the website, as opposed to just clicking update inside the program. The prompt from the program downloads a ZIP file you cant even extract and doesnt seem to take if you put it in a Davinci folder or anything either

[@BrentTouchstone]

Hi Jason. Not sure if you know this one... I'm only having problems with OBS audio brought into Davinci. The first half of my clips will show no waveform. Sometimes the audio is still there, other times it's not, sometimes it comes in through just one speaker for a few seconds then the other speaker comes in. Have you had any issues/fixes with this? If I play the clip through another app it works fine. Thanks

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! I'd try converting the audio, maybe it's an audio codec issue. I'd also try restarting everything, bring the audio in again, clearing the render cache.

[@BrentTouchstone]

@@JasonYadlovski Hi. After a painstaking few days I figured it out. I forget which forum it was but they pointed out it's a windows 11 latest update issue. I rolled back to the previous update and everything is working perfect again. Thanks for the support :)

Hi! I don’t think you can change it and resolve, you might need to use another program to convert it. Not sure if something like handbrake could do the job. 🤔

Didn't encounter this issue until updating to Resolve 17.3 (free version). Everything was dead quiet, in all the projects that I opened. Tried all methods with no success. What finally worked for me was toggling the Audio I/O settings in the Preferences section, switching between manual and system settings, starting and restarting the program in between. And then, suddenly, when manually selecting my soundcard ports for in- och output for the umpteenth time it finally worked, and sound came through Resolve once again. Thanks for providing this video and hope Blackmagic takes action to correct this really annoying issue.

Ok, just got Resolve and it’s great except for one problem. I got sound through my computer’s speakers but when I plug in headphones the sound keeps playing through speakers and nothing out of the headphones. Did everything along with you in this video, everything checked out in Resolve and on my Acer computer which switches back and forth between speakers and headphones automatically depending on whether headphones are plugged in. After much frustration I messed around and finally figured out that the headphones would only work when they were plugged in when Resolve was opened. If I unplug the headphones inducing sound through the speakers I can’t get the headphones back on unless I restart Resolve with the headphones already plugged in. This is as bizarre as it gets. I’ve done a lot of audio recording with ProTools and Reaper and have never encountered something so odd. Don’t know if there is any fix for it. Any suggestions appreciated.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! I hear ya, it’s a little weird. If you don’t have headphones plugged in when you open Resolve, they don’t seem to show up. The way you fix that is to go into your preferences, system at the top, Video and Audio I/O and change it to your headphones. That should do the trick for you if you plug in the headphones after you already open the program. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video! 😁👍

[@mynewtsack]

I think RTX voice was messing with my in preferences, since installing that I got issues where I can hear the sound and then all of a sudden the sound went away even though my original file is fine

[@luckyllama]

im having a problem where it shows the audio in the timeline, but around halfway through the clip it gets muted, if i let it play out normally i can hear all the way through, put if i skip past this one part it gets muted, no audio in mixer but still in timeline. i can listen to the clip perfectly fine everywhere else except resolve

[@JasonYadlovski]

That’s really strange, I don’t know why it would do that. Have you tried removing the file and bring it back into resolve again? Or maybe drop it into a new track? Or even a new project?

[@peterhalenbeck]

Great info. FYI I upgraded this morning (using PC) the new v17.3. Halfway through editing, I lost audio output. The audio was working fine. I tried everything you suggested. Even uninstalled, reinstalled Davinci. Nothing. So then uninstalled Davinci and reinstalled the previous version (v17.2.2) and all works fine again. Probably PC driver issues. Cheers!

Thanks. Your solution at 9:14 did it for me. I changed my output in preferences to headphones. For some reason, DaVinci resolve was not recognizing the device, but when I clicked the "output device" a second time, "Headphones" showed up as an option.
