Audition CS6 does not play audio

Audition CS6: My problem is that after importing an audio file and clicking on the play icon, I cannot hear any sound. I'm using Windows 7 (all updates installed) on a desktop work station. I began working with Audition CS6 two days ago while following a Lynda.com tutorial. I installed the ASIO4All driver because the tutorial indicated it would provide the most features. I did not attempt to play a file before the ASIO driver installation so I cannot say whether or not it caused my problem. [NOTE: I did create a restore point before installing the ASIO driver.] Bottom line, I can play a song with Windows Media Player (WMP) but if I run Audition I get no sound and if I return to WMP I get a message that it is busy with another application; even after I close Audition. Any suggestions?

Hi Bob,
That depends on why you are trying to install an ASIO driver. ASIO drivers, when provided by the manufacturer of your audio device, allow direct access to your audio hardware from Audition. This can result in lower latency, more simultaneous input channels, and better performance. If you're working on multitrack recording projects, then you might want to use a device that supports ASIO. But if you're just using the built-in audio chip on your computer, ASIO4ALL won't give you significantly better performance since it's acting as a middleman between the application, OS, and hardware. What it can provide is a little flexibility if you're trying to use different audio devices simultaneously.
If you have 2 or more USB microphones, for instance, then ASIO4ALL can provide an interface that "wraps" the different devices and presents them as separate channels on a single virtual device. Audition thinks it's talking to one driver - a necessity with ASIO - and ASIO4ALL handles the juggling of different device inputs and outputs. If this isn't the sort of work you're doing, the basic Windows drivers (WASAPI or MME for older devices) should work just fine for most needs.

Macbook Pro does not play audio part of video

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro (early 2013 with OS 10.10.1).
A colleague sent me a video file, which was originally recorded in MTS format. The sound portion of it does not play on my machine, although it generally can handle MTS. I have a colleague with a Windows PC, for him the audio plays ok. I have another colleague with an older MBP, for him the audio also plays ok. But then I have two more colleagues with a newer MBP like me, and for none of us the audio plays at all. The strange thing is that I can open the file in various editors such as Premiere, Audition, or Logic Pro, and they would all show the waveform of the audio, even the VU meters react normally, but there still is no audible sound.
On the machines that play the sound, we have tried converting the video and exporting the audio portion into various other formats, but with the very same result. None of them play sound for me. This is extremely weird and we have no answer what could be the problem.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot & best regards,
Rainer

Hi Eric,
thanks for the reply.
As I said, we had tried several editors and players, as well as all kinds of formats, using all kinds of converters, but so far to no avail.
The AAC codec is a common codec for the Mac, so there should be no need to convert it. I have videos with that codec that play ok. It already turned out that converting the video file to other formats does not make any difference.
But thanks anyway,
Rainer

CS6 does not play the sound

Hi, I bought CS6 some months ago, tried it briefly and it worked. Now, half a year later, I really want to work it, but it does not play, neither mp3 nor wav-files. I see the waveform, I can amplify it, cut parts of it, edit it otherwise, but the red lline and the yellow cursor do not start/move and I hear nothing. I clicked on the start btton and on the endless button, nothing happened. I am using Windows 8.1. Please, help....

Invariably, when Audition's transport doesn't start it's because you've lost the connection to your sound device. So go to the Preferences menu and Hardware setup, and re-establish it - you should be good to go then.

Audition CS6 does not exit properly on OSX Maverick - how to resolve?

Hi -
I run Audition CS6 on OSX Maverick (10.9.5).
However, whenever I finish a job and exit the application, whenever I bring up a terminal I see the following processes permanently in the process table:
501   692   164   0 4:13pm ??         0:21.76 /Applications/Adobe Audition CS6/Adobe Audition CS6.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Audition CS6

501   695   692   0 4:13pm ??         0:00.00 (adobe_licutil)
The application seems not to be exiting properly.
Is there a fix for this?
Note that all other applications run well on this high spec MacBook Pro (early 2011, 17", Quad iCore7 2.3GHx, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD).
I do not wish to go the Cloud model - so upgrading to CC is not an option.
Thanks,
Kevin Nolan.

Thanks for replying.
I've looked in the User Diagnostics but there are absolutely no entries of any kind - it's empty. The System Diagnostics Reports likewise contain no Adobe entries.
But note - this is not a crash. I manually exit from the application and it appears to exit (as in the GUI shuts down) - but - the application just continues to run and can be seen in the process table (via ps -ef in a Terminal). Subsequently, I cannot rerun it - if I click on the app Icon it does not bring up a new GUI. I need to reboot the machine before I can restart the application /GUI.
This is repeatable and has been a long standing issue for me - including with OSX 10.8 so it's not a Maverick specific issue. I'm surprised I did not see a plethora of other posts on this issue when I finally decided to look for a solution today. I can only assure you there is absolutely nothing out of the ordinary with my Mac, or the installation of Audition CS6 - I'm a long standing user (since 1.0 on PC) so I am quite familiar with the install routines. My Mac has the latest version of Maverick, but as mentioned in my first post, everything else I run - Protools, Logic and a plethora of plugins all run without issue.
Unfortunately I have no diagnostics to send you; but please let me know if there is anything else I can do to provide further clarity.
Thanks most sincerely for your time and reply.
Regards,
Kevin.

Quicktime does not play audio

I've found that since upgrading to Lion, that some .mov files do not play the audio soundtrack when you play them in Quicktime 10.1.
Audio is fine in Quicktime Player 7
Is this a bug with Lion?

Some third party software can change the default settings in the Audio MIDI setup.
Open the app (found in your Utilities folder) and change the audio output settings to 44100Hz and try the file again.

Airplay mirroring does not play audio on airplay speakers

Hello!
I just got an airplay enabled hi-fi system and using it with my apple tv = very nice indeed. However, I just upgraded to Mavericks to use mirroring and when I do, the sound comes from the TV speakers and not the airplay system. It seems going into mirroring reverts the airplay setting in the apple tv menu where you select the speakers. I have also tried holding down the select button on the remote which does not bring up a menu with speaker options.
Does anyone know if it is even possible to use airplay mirroring and have the audio come from airplay speakers?
Setup:
Macbook Air (mid '11) running OS X Mavericks v 10.9.1
Apple TV 3rd gen latest update
Many thanks,
Joakim

Repairing Permissions is a fairly standard Mac maintenance procedure. The particular problem I shared with you involved mirroring from a Macbook Pro laptop which I had just upgraded to Mavericks, partly in order to have the mirroring capability.
I have used mirroring from my iPad (which doesn't have the transparency of such maintenance tasks as permissions repair on mac computers with OSX) without any issues of any kind, so I can't address how to fix the problem on those machines.
One reason I wanted to have mirroring on the MacBook Pro was to have the features I prefer on it to the iOS environment on the iPad. Easier typing, easier navigation, and, it must be said, accessible maintenance procedures.
If you're interested in repairing permissions in OSX on Mac computers, though, I'll be happy to explain it, but you'll find it discussed many, many times on these support fora.
If your iPhone/iPad have the problem with audio that I had with my MacBook, then I think you should step outside the AirPlay discussions and go directly to the support communities for those devices to learn what, if any, maintenance tasks are available to users. This is beyond my experience.
I hope you have as much luck with your iOS devices as I did on the computer in this situation!

Known issue: Cortana does not play audio through the default playback device (Windows 10 Insider Preview SDK and tools, April 2015 release)

When getting audio feedback from Cortana on a device with multiple playback endpoints (e.g., a device with a headset and an internal speaker), the playback may occur on the incorrect device. For example, Cortana may not send audio to the default device
after the default has been changed in the control panel.

There is no workaround for this issue.

HTML5 published content from Captivate 7 including slide audio does not play audio in DPS preview

I have added HTML 5 content to a DPS publication I am creating in Indesign CC. When I preview the content on my desktop I cannot hear the audio play when initiated. The content appears, but without audio. is this normal? I cannot publish to a device right now, and am just trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong.

I concur, but do not have the device with me today, and was wondering if this is a common discrepancy. Has anyone tested Captivate output with slide audio into DPS? Does it work?

Spotify does not play audio from my desktop

DescriptionBefore today, Spotify worked fine on my laptop but now whenever I go to play a song the time will start but no audio will come out or the song won't start playing at all. Also, I am unable to jump to different points in the song; instead it just goes back to the beginning. Audio works with everything else on my computer so it's definitely a Spotify problem. I can still play Spotify through my phone and I can choose songs to play on my phone from my desktop, but I still can't play from my computer. A more detailed description, using numbered steps1. First I tried reinstalling it multiple times and it still doesn't work2. Then I checked my mixer and audio settings and they are fine3. I also checked around the community and couldn't find anything recent like my problem What I expected to happenI hoped to get Spotify working right again What actually happenedThe same problem persisted My Operating SystemWindows 8 Is your Operating System 32 or 64 bit?64 bit Do you have a Service Pack installed?None My Spotify versionThe most recent version My internet provider and countryUnited States, but I have been in the Bahamas for work for a month now Did you do a clean install of your current Windows version or did you upgrade from a previous version?At first an update but then I reinstalled My usernamedavis3739

So I just took this from user JayLB and it solved my problem, it should help you out too. If this is the case then users are running into a corrupt cache issue of the spotity desktop app. Because when you change cache folders it writes new clean cache files and everything that was once Stored under C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Spotify again, when you instructed the app to write a new one into the folder selected by the settings changed. To fix these corrupted cache folder do this first. 1. Log out of the spotify desktop app and exit the app as well.2. Go to Task Manager, look for any processes that says SpotifyHelper.exe, select any and all of them and chose end task.3. Go to this file location C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Spotify, delete everything inside the folder. Do Not Worry the Spotify App will rewrite everything back when you load and log back into the app.4. Make sure to clean out your Recycle Bin as well.5. Log back in and see if the same problem persists. If it has stopped doing this, you removed the cache files that were corrupted successfully.6. You will need to reoffline any music you had again for offline playback. You might have to toggle playlists that where set for offline playback to online mode first, and then select them for offline mode again. If this did not work, then you need to double check if you where once a premium subscriber, double check in the Spotify desktop app settings that the High Quality Streaming option is not turned on. This playing tracks for a few seconds is a sign you might have let your premium expire on you, and you are still trying to stream in High Quality Option, the app won't play music correctly if this is set and premium has expired on your account.

Quicktime does not play audio anymore

Hi everyone.
I'm experiencing this weird problem on every quicktime movie I open, both streaming and saved movies.
Anyone knows how to fix this without reinstalling everything?
Thanx.

Some third party software can change the default settings in the Audio MIDI setup.
Open the app (found in your Utilities folder) and change the audio output settings to 44100Hz and try the file again.

Audition does not play nor record

Auditon CS6 does not play nor record.
I can click into the file but when I press play or space there is no reaction. "no transport".
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. No luck.
Earlier the onboard processor hat to be replaced (hp warranty). Could it be that this has caused Audition to react strangely. Maybe due to a processor id not being equal to the original setup?
Windows 7 Pro, SP1, HP Workstation Z620 64Bit

When Audition's transport doesn't work, it's because it has become disconnected from your sound device. Go into Preferences > Hardware setup, and reconnect it! Should all work fine then, assuming that your sound device is actually okay...

Audition does not play sound

Hello to everybody,
the following problem occurs:
after transferring the whole Macsystem (MBP 2010) to a new model (MBP2014) I have a problem using Adobe Audition. It does not play any sound, when starting a window tells me, that some hardware has changed, audio channel assignment says unknown... the audio devices are found..
btw: Adobe Premiere does work, it plays the video as well as the audio. I already killed Audition and re-installed it... but no changes, what can I do?
Thanks for any ideas.
Arne

Ask in the AU forum and be much more specific, beginning with what version you actually use.
