Re: No sound in Cubase on tracks with volume automation
I have this as well and it's driving me nuts!!
It just started happening on a project I've been working on a lot, and I've got a lot of work done on it without this happening. I opened it today, and several tracks (though not all) exhibit this exasperating behavior.
I have 8.5 build 69 - downloading update as we speak. The change in behavior is not update-related.

8.5 build 69 is 8.5.0. Please update to 8.5.15, where was the fix applied.

Re: No sound in Cubase on tracks with volume automation
I have the same problem running Cubase 8.0.35 Build 565 (64 bit). I don't really want to upgrade to 8.5 so am I stuck with this issue now ? If so I have to say this is a joke !
For some reason this issue started happening when I recently opened up a 3-4 week old track I'm working on. Was fine previously.

Re: No sound in Cubase on tracks with volume automation
Restarting Cubase doesn't work for me, but rebooting the entire computer does.
Cubase 8.5, it started happening just lately, this is what changed on my computer since the bug started:
- I installed their new eLicenser to remove the bug with the old MP3 license
- I installed Civilization 6
Anyway: Reboot = loss of time = temporary solution.
I can't stop using volume automation on my VST,s. It makes no sense. So.... Help Cubase? Help Steinberg?

Re: No sound in Cubase on tracks with volume automation
I have also been having this problem where tracks mysteriously stop making any sound. Odd. I just recently got Cubase 8.5 after using 6.5 for quite a while. These bugs are why I loathe to upgrade any software that is working well. I am downloading the latest update (here for those interested http://www.steinberg.net/en/support/dow ... ro_85.html ) and hope this fixes the issue. Will report back after using the new version for a while, hopefully with good news!

Re: No sound in Cubase on tracks with volume automation
Unfortunately, the only known fix for this is to upgrade. To me, that's not a "bug", its forcing people to pay extra for a faulty product. The "support" I received from Steinberg on this matter borders on the ridiculous. Its such a shame they cannot take their Support seriously and understand what handling issue requests better would mean to the image of the company.telecino wrote:Restarting Cubase doesn't work for me, but rebooting the entire computer does.

Re: No sound in Cubase on tracks with volume automation
Well, the update seemed to fix the bug for a while, but now the same thing is happening again even with the latest version. Very frustrating. Simply don't have time to have to go through each track to see if it is going to actually sound when played.patrick76 wrote:I have also been having this problem where tracks mysteriously stop making any sound.

Re: No sound in Cubase on tracks with volume automation
Oh, dear. I thought it was safe to upgrade to 8.5 in a few weeks, regarding this and other bugs that had been reported as being fixed. I hope it turns out to be an unrelated issue.patrick76 wrote:Well, the update seemed to fix the bug for a while, but now the same thing is happening again even with the latest version.

Re: No sound in Cubase on tracks with volume automation
Hi alexis
Cubase 8.5
as u see above its a problem that are repeating for years again and again
now i dont know what to do, this project is very important for me,
As soon as I open the project
after 30 seconds or so, the audio stops completely.
There is a sign of the Level meter, but there is no sound at all.

Beyond that: Maybe try Cubase safe mode (not the same as Windows safe mode) to see if it might be a corrupted preference.
Also, maybe try it on a virgin project (brand new and empty, not even using one of your templates).
Finally - maybe try updating the e-licenser, as an administrator.

Re: No sound in Cubase on tracks with volume automation
Still no fix in 2019. It's a MASSIVE problem, especially when I have clients waiting for a mix...
