Render queue in after effects does not render audio!?

When i add my video in after effects to the render queue and render it...it does not render the audio. Yes, I do have the audio switch turned on in after effects, and when i RAM preview I am hearing the audio. Also, if i use File %26lt; Export then i also hear the audio, however my video quality comes out horrible, it makes a 3mb file from a 5 second clip and the quality is still horrible. How can I render the audio as well using the render queue?Render queue in after effects does not render audio!?
Well, it's hard to troubleshoot what you're doing without more information... but the default render settings usually don't have audio output enabled. Yes, it should be turned on in your composition, but here's how to enable it in the render queue:





After adding your comp to the render queue, click on your output module settings (not the triangle, but the actual preset you can click on to the right of the arrow--lossless is usually the default) you have to enable the audio output. it should be at the bottom of the window. There, you can choose all the standard compression and bitrate settings you're used to when exporting from other programs.





I've never exported anything from after effects and can't think of any circumstance off the top of my head where the render queue wouldn't be more useful once you get the hang of it.
