no sound with detached audio in imovie 11

im working on a video project in imovie11. early in the video , i detached some audio from a clip and deleted the tail end the clip, leaving the audio to run concurently with the clips that followed the source clip--it worked great! today i tried doing the same thing , and when i run the video all sound stops for the duration of the detached video. and earlier the sound was fine--as long as it was running with its source clip...but once it played the clips that followed all sound from the detached audio stopped.
ive been to the mac forum sites and read similar/the same problems, but not a single answer.
any help would be great! mahalo!!1

That sounds like you have "ducking" turned on (see your iMovie help file for more info on "ducking." You can adjust that by selecting the audio and turning off ducking (I think, I'm telling you this from memory so I may not have it quite right but you'll probably figure it out from there).

no, ive checked "ducking" and it is off. as i checked around the net and particularly the apple forums , ive found several people with the same or similar issues. but not a whole lot of answers. any other ideas? and thanks for getting back to me.

Is the audio part of the original clip or was it added to the video part? Is there a yellow exclamation symbol attached to the audio clip?

Have you tried closing iMovie and then re-launching?

tried closing and relaunching a couple of times..no help. but thank you.
anybody??
