5.1 Audio not working
So I am looking to work on 5.1 audio for a movie I am filming soon, but I can't seem to get Premiere to recognize that I have 6 speakers...
I enable 5.1 and I am playing with the mixer and it is changing, but it is not going through to my back 2 speakers. What do I need to do to fix this issue? Premiere Pro CS3 |

Have you tried to set your sound configuration on your computer? Just thingking maybe your configuration is set to Stereo output instead of 5.1.

As far as I know, you have to buy a license/upgrade to unlock 5.1 audio.

What soundcard and drivers do you have? (You need ASIO drivers running to be able to access each channel independently - standard WDM drivers won't work)

No, 5.1 works fine. Historically, you got 3 trials of Dolby Digital 5.1 encoded output before having to buy -- haven't checked that out yet. However, editing 5.1 works fine, as should encoding output to PCM in 5.1.

5.1 works great in all my other programs, and I know ASIO is running right too...

Scott, I just made this mistake today so thought I'd share in case it solves your problem.
The presets in PPro CS5 (like the AVCHD one I used today) have a stereo track as the MASTER AUDIO TRACK. I tried submixing some stereo tracks into 5.1 today and didn't get the speaker outputs I expected. Once I created a new sequence with a 5.1 master audio track (rather than stereo, as is default in the preset), voila, it was all good. I didn't look any further, but I think you can also assign audio output to a submix track if you already have built a complex sequence.
