Where have you been making your Timeline audio adjustments up until now - the -6 to -12 dB? Nonetheless....
Do you have more than one source of audio in your project that is going to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, that is, interview sound and some other? Are you saying that the Sylvania is giving no sound for the whole DVD-VIDEO playback or is it playing non interview audio on the disc while it is not playing the interview audio on that same disc? Do you have access to another player besides the Sylvania? If so, same problem? Is this one laptop the only place where you can playback your Premiere Elements DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc?
So, if I am reading you correctly...when the Timeline audio is jacked up to Max +6 dB (according to the Audio Meter), the sound is blasting away on the laptop playback of the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc while there is no sound at all for this same DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc played back on the Sylvania? Do you have any of the earlier no problem DVD-VIDEO on DVD discs that can be played back at this time on the Sylvania?
Please confirm that, if you go to a new project, the problem can or cannot be resolved.
In Premiere Elements 12, you can adjust the Volume
a. At the Timeline level, moving the audio clips rubber band up or down
b. Selecting the audio clip, and going to Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Volume Panel expanded/Volume Slider
c. Selecting the audio clip, Audio Mixer
Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Mixing audio and adjusting volume
You can also right click the audio clip, select to change gain or Normalize in the Clip Gain dialog
Please review and consider and then we can discuss this further. At this point, I do not think it inaccurate to be pointing to the Sylvania for
answers for the core of the problem. But, the answers will be in the details.
Thanks for the follow ups.
