Default audio Settings in PRE 9.01

[hossmcd]

By default PRE 9 sets any new SD-NTSC Project Settings/General/Playback Settings/ audio to "External DeviceAudio" instead of "Desktop Audio".

No sound plays through my speakers unless I adjust this setting manually - one time. My change is saved with the project.

Previous versions of PRE defaulted to "Desktop Audio", other projects settings in PRE 9.01 such as HD, Flip etc. DO default to "Desktop Audio".

It took me 3 months to figure out that this default setting in 9.01 was different than previous versions for SD NTSC projects. I could hear sound while scrubbing the time line but not when playing back normally.

Adobe support says I'm the only account they know of with this issue and can't tell me how to change the system default to "Desktop Audio" so I don't have to reset it when I create a new SD NTSC project.

Does anyone have a clue as to how to change this default action to "Desktop Audio"?

Mine is also set to External Device Audio. Although I have no problem playing sound with that setting on my PC.

I cannot find a way to change the default either. Maybe someone else can help.

Hi, Hoss. Welcome to Muvipix!

I'm surprised to hear that, once you set this preference, it doesn't stick. That could be very frustrating.

It's possible Robert J or someone will know how to hack the preset files. I agree that it's a shame the program doesn't just cooperate!

Hi Hossmcd, Welcome to Muvipix
If anyone can find a solution someone at Muvipix can

I have version 9.0.1 also and the default is External Audio also.
I changed the setting and then opened a new project, the settings stayed at Desktop Audio.

Then I closed Premiere Elements and opened it up again, creating a new project one more time.
They again stayed set on Desktop Audio.

Be sure that when you make the change you are pressing the OK button on both the Playback settings screen and the Project Settings screen, don't press Cancel. I would think that after a time or two of making the change it should stick.
