Specify whether to play audio while scrubbing

By default Premiere Pro plays the audio when you scrub any clip or sequence containing audio in the Source Monitor, Program Monitor, or a Timeline. You can change this setting, if you prefer silent scrubbing.

  1. Select Edit > Preferences > Audio (Windows), or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Audio (Mac OS).
  2. Check or deselect Play Audio While Scrubbing, depending on the option desired.
  3. Click OK.
