Audition CS5.5 does not play any sound

Question

Hello to everybody,
I got a big problem with Audition. After buying a new Mac I imported the whole user to the new system. Nearly most of the Master Suite Modules work, but when starting Audition, it tells me right away that the audio hardware setting has been changed. When I click yes to open the settings, it shows me the audio input (mike integrated) and output devices (output integrated).  When switching to audio channel matching, the device channels are not found, the checkup failed.
I use MacOS 10.10.1 with Adobe MasterCollection CS5.5. Btw: Premiere does work properly, the audio and video is playing. Any other audio (Itunes, VLC...) do work as well.
Is there any additional program for audio setting within the CS5.5 installation?
Thanks for any ideas.
Arne

I can't give you details, as it's a Mac - but the chances are that if you have imported all of your Audition settings from a previous machine, that one of them is essentially wrong for the new machine. So even though the preference appear to be correct, they aren't.
To give you an idea though, the thing to do is to read this FAQ:
Restoring the default settings for Audition CS6
It's essentially the same as for 5.5, except that the final target directory may have a lower number (like 4...). I'd pay particular attention to the section at the end, just before Durin's extra comment - it's probably this file that's incorrect.
