Re: A couple questions about Premiere

Bret -

Agree that your audio meters and image resizing thing may be a hardware issue. Obviously certain cards are unsupported for a reason.

Audio scrubbing can be turned off in Preferences>Audio.

I suppose Adobe just thought that if you're clicking elsewhere in the timeline you may want to stop. Agreed it might be cool to keep playing even then, but the "never stop playing" does stop when you reposition the playhead.
