<p>Try converting it to a different file type, like an MP3. I'd use CloudConvert. I think it could be an issue with audio support, but I'm not sure. I had a problem with the audio appearing choppy. I converted it to an MP3, and it worked fine. I know this was made seven years ago but, I hope this helps anyone with a similar issue!</p>

<p>This is my first time using Lightworks.</p>

<p>I have some video I recorded of some gameplay that I am trying to edit. While the audio itself sounds fine in other programs, every time I play it in Lightsworks it almost sounds like it is skipping but I'm pretty sure it is in sync.</p>

<p>What is odd is that when I tried to mute the audio I could still hear the noise.  I tried then to mute the audio and replace it with a copy of it and it still won't work.  Does anyone have any advice?</p>

<ul>
<li>audio copy is in .wav and video in .avi</li>
<li>was recorded using Bandicam</li>

# Audio Sounds Like It's Skipping in Lightworks

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-01-29)

This is my first time using Lightworks.

I have some video I recorded of some gameplay that I am trying to edit. While the audio itself sounds fine in other programs, every time I play it in Lightsworks it almost sounds like it is skipping but I'm pretty sure it is in sync.

What is odd is that when I tried to mute the audio I could still hear the noise. I tried then to mute the audio and replace it with a copy of it and it still won't work. Does anyone have any advice?

* audio copy is in .wav and video in .avi
* was recorded using Bandicam

**Tags:** audio, audio-quality, lightworks
