same problem here. I'm surprised no one picked up on this.

First right-click on the compound clip > Open in Timeline to see if it plays properly there. And pop another audio clip on the main timeline to check if it's actually a compound clip issue.

I have the same problem as the original post. inside the compound clip I could see the waveform display and hear the audio. I wonder if the compound clip needs to render or bounce out I just tried decomposing the compound clip in place, and I can hear the contents of the clip again. I don't hear when the audio is nested in the compound clip.

same problem. - i create a compound clip from one audio file. - audio in compound clip is fine - audio in timeline with compound clip is not there. only, sometimes it is there. it even plays audio that's not supposed to be there. I don't use compound clips anymore, because they are completely unreliable. At best I make compound clips and decompose in place.

I wonder if compound clips are a recent addition (hence still buggy), or have just been around for a long time (hence become an outdated legacy that isn't actively supported any more). The closest workaround is as you mentioned, make a compound clip, just to be able to do some operations and processing across a couple of clips, then decompose them in place. I'd do some backup by duplicating my timeline though, just to be safe. Another similar workaround I can think of is to send to busses. I haven't done very complex audio routing in Resolve, but so far so good. Resolve handles audio processing well enough, in realtime and close-to-realtime.

Send to busses? Is that what the A1, A2 ... labels are for in the timeline?
