Cannot scrub audio after clip is synced

I am having a problem with the audio syncing function in FCPX. I captured external audio then imported the audio then used the sync function. Audio lined up perfect.

My problem is this: The audio clip I used is much longer than the video clips. Thus the synced clip it creates is as long as the original audio file but only has video in the appropriate spot. When I scrub over the video to select a range I cannot hear audio. When I pull the video to the timeline I can hear all the audio, all is well. However because I can't scrub the audio it makes it impossible to select sound bytes I actually need.
I cannot for the life of me figure this out?! As I'm learning with FCPX the answer is probably somewhere right under my nose and I will feel foolish once I see what it is. Someone please shed some light on this. Im under a deadline and Im still fumbling through fcpx. Thanks!
