PDA View Full Version : After Effects error: opening sound component (-2166) Please help! gizmo199002-01-2006, 12:09 PMI'm using AE5.5 and I'm trying to output my comp but each time I add audio to it I get this error message: After Effects error: opening sound component (-2166) (10 :: 44) Can anyone tell me what the problem is here? I also get the same error when I load the audio into my comp and open its waveform? The audio file is just a simple WAV file exported from Goldwave. I'd really appreciate any help. suztv02-03-2006, 09:48 PMI have had the same exact issue although it isn't as friendly as what you describe - usually AE just quits. My suggestion is to save your sound files as .aif - no compression. No other way around it. If you have problems saving it out as an .aif from goldwave use itunes to do it for you. DaveW02-06-2006, 09:45 PMI'm getting the same error with all the audio I try to export. I don't know what's causing it, but I've heard some people say that Quicktime 7 interferes with After Effects exporting so maybe that's the culprit. gdogfunk02-09-2006, 07:55 PMI've had the same problem today trying to render to both the DV codec and the AVID codec. My solution (not really a fix) was to keep re-rendering the comp and hope it made it through the render...sometimes I get the error 4 frames in and sometimes it's almost done rendering... I'm using AE 5.5 on OSX3.9...man I love how AE5.0 on OS9 was stable as hell...damn OSX.... I wa

According to Apple, QT6.5 is https://discussions.apple.com/thread/216706?start=0&tstart=0 only compatible up to Panther - Mac OS X (10.3.9). There is also a Reinstaller to revert back to QT 7.0.1, but I don't know if that version of QuickTime is compatible with After Effects 6.5.1.Keep me posted. I'll keep trying.

Go to http://www.apple.com/support/ and type SD8638 in to the search box, and follow instructions. I was ready to go all the way back to 6, but this ended up working.

Using AE 5.5 with OS X 10.3.9 and Quicktime 7.0.3. I get the error "opening sound component" when trying to render my file.I am trying to revert back to a QT version that works, but the 7.0.1 reintaller won't work. It will not let me reinstall on my drive (i get the red exclamation point over the drive). Does it only work with 7.0.2?Any help would be greatly appreciated. My deadline is looming!!!

Re: After Effects 5.5 rendering audio issues Mylenium May 2, 2013 6:50 AM (in response to rosieandsam) Check, whether you have installed some specific voice-over or voice messaging software or something like an external headset/ microphone. this looks like a hardware driver/ CoDec error. Anything beyond that will require much more details on what's involved in your comp and render settings...Mylenium Like Show 0 Likes(0) Actions Actions More Like This Retrieving data ...
