The title is pretty self-explanatory.
I've been able to fade out the audio before when the handles were apparent. Although, I don't remember whether or not this was with iMovie 10.0.4.
I use a Mac mini from late 2012. iMovie 10.0.4.
Help!

Hi catbus,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below provides an excellent walkthrough which should help you fade the audio in your iMovie project.
iMovie (2013): Add video and audio effects
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14721
Add an audio effect to a clip
- In the browser or the timeline, select an audio clip, or a video clip with audio.
- Click the Adjust button in the toolbar.
The adjustments bar appears above the clip in the viewer.
- To show the effects controls, click the Video and Audio Effects button.
- Click the Audio Effect button, and click the audio effect you want to apply to the clip.
To remove an audio effect, select the clip or range containing the effect, click the Audio Effect button, and click None.
Cheers!

I too was looking at the links provided, but I'm struggling to find anything in them that specifically tutors on audio fading.
To get handles, option-click on the black line. (Of course, why didn't I think of that! I had to go to class to find out.) Add one at the beginning and at the end of what you want to fade. I think there already is a fade handle at the beginning and end of each (green) sound clip. It looks like a tiny circle. Hover over it and it should say "fade audio in" or out. To change that one or any added handles, just drag them around. Since you've done it before, you can probably figure out the changing the volume part just by playing around with it.
Thank you so much! Although I do not understand what you mean when you say 'black line'. What and where is it?
(iMovie 10.1) I am also having problems with fade handles. I can bring these up easy at the beginning of a project. I'll make a fade-in and proceed on to other things. Somewhere along the way the fade-in disappears, and I cannot bring the handles back. The option-click suggestion from earlier (which I did not know about) is handy for certain situations, but this isn't the option I'm looking for. Option-click brings up diamond shaped handles. I'm looking for circles.
Thanks much.
The fade handle disappears when there is a transition next to it. You have to fade first then add the transition. Could this be the reason?

I can't seem to find the "fade handles" on iMovie 10.0.4
