Audio showing visually, but not playing

Post by mbiggers » Fri Mar 13, 2009 2:12 am

I have a few audio clips that show a good, solid waveform of audio for the full length of the clip, but are completely silent for the first 1/2 to 3/4 of the clip when I play them. For instance in one clip, it shows a waveform for 2:09, the entire clip, but is totally silent until the 1:38 mark when I play it. I can try to upload an example file if that would help and you can tell me how.

Please help! These are years old recording of my kids that I really don't want to lose!

Thanks - Mike

Some of the data is missing from the Audacity project.
Where are the originals of these "years old recordings"?
