Audition won't play (S/PDIF, OSX)

Hey there.
I have this issue for some months now and tried to get around it several times but no solution turned out to work.
I have tried to reset all audio devices, reconfigured everything, reinstalled the OSX and also, this doesn't work with Audition CC either.
First, here's my specifications:
Mac Pro 5,1 (Mid 2010)
Intel High Definition Audio [S/PDIF used over ONKYO PR-SC5509, BOSE Acoustimass 15]
OSX 10.8.4
12 GB RAM / 3.2 Ghz (Quad) Xeon
Here's my audio-device settings (Audition):
I'm quite confused about this, Windows' Audition plays audio fine (that is, independent of format: 44 khz, 48 khz and 96 khz work).
My channel map:
Here's my audio device overview:
Any chance fixing this? Thank you!

The "play" sign turned green; nothing else happens.
However, Audition doesn't even play music if I connect a cinch soundsystem.
I tried creating a virtual "main device" from the Audio-Midi-Setup, which didn't help it at all. Also, forcing the sample rate doesn't work. Disabling "computer specific" settings neither.. I'd be thrilled to see it working because this issue accelerates the obsolescence of OSX on my Mac
Actually, I tried every settings toggle there could be.. which didn't work. Also, resetting Audition doesn't do anything.
Here's Audition CC next to Audition CS6 — both trying to play but failing:
Thanks for your help!

Audition won't play or record. Why? What do I do?

In other words, you can open a file, but the Transport controls don't do anything. This applies to all versions of Audition...
Pretty much invariably when this happens, it's because Audition has become disconnected from your sound device, either external or internal. So the first thing you have to do is go to the Preferences page, select Hardware Setup, and make sure that it's selected there. Close the page, and then try again.
If, by any minute chance this doesn't fix the problem, then ask on the forum for more help, and make sure that you tell us specifically about your particular machine and how it's configured. But, this really is one of those 'one-solution-only' problems, as a rule.

I have the same problem. Just bought a new U2 Ipod this week, I think it played the video once. After that, it just kept freezing up, now I can't get it to play anymore. I ran Ipod updater a hundred times, restored it at least 20 times in the last two days, but it just keeps freezing up, also when playing music, scrolling, updating,... This s* badly, as I travel a lot and want to take it with me.
I think you should just take it to a store and complain.

Audition won't play!

I think its related to upgrading to Mountain Lion on mac, but very recently at least, Audition now refuses to play.
It launches ok, loads a file ok, but when I hit space bar or play button, it looks like it should be playing, but its just stopped. Has anyone else had this behavior?
I really need Audition so its very annoying!

Try not to get too excited about a word - most errors of this sort are made in ignorance. That's not a sin, and is quite forgivable; not everybody is expected to know everything.
And I think you'll find that if you do a fresh install of Audition and select a sound device to use, the playback sync is set to internal by default - otherwise just about everybody would complain about it, and they don't. The time that this will fail is if you are using a digital input, where external sync is absolutely required to run the device. In this case, the default almost certainly needs to be altered. If the input is analog though, the device's internal sync is generally applied to the whole device. Not only that, but not all manufacturers of sound devices handle this in exactly the same way - which is why the options to alter things are there.
And if you want to be a ProTools apologist, that's fine - but you are comparing dissimilar products, especially if you are using PT hardware; their rules may well be different. But just because they have the best marketing dept in existence doesn't automatically make them 'right' about everything, I can assure you.

How do I fix? Flash videos like YouTube won't play sound on MAC OSX 10.5.8

Sound won't play on YouTube and other flash web based videos on my MAC OSX 10.5.8 So I installed the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player and it still doesn't work. I uninstalled and reinstalled adobe flash player. Nada. I updated my computer software and firmware. Still nothing. I checked my sound and apple movie trailers play just fine. Please assist.
Thanks so much!!!!
Oh, I have tried to play videos in both Safari and Firefox. No sound in both.

Yay!!!! My business partner @goodbadtech (on twitter) fixed it. Apple repair fixed it. Just got it back this morning. Then I updated Adobe flash as Mozilla asked me to do and the sounds disappeared again! Was so frustrated. But Spencer found this link and that saved the day :-)

Since you haven't answered any question yet, I'll add another to the list.
What version of OS X were you running prior to the upgrade?

Audition CS5.5 won't play

MacBook Pro 17"
2.2GHz Intel Core i7
8Gb RAM
Audition was working nicely. Now over the past 2 weeks, it won't play anything. I've tried MP3 files, WAVs, audio exported from Premiere....nothing is working.
Help!!!

Why is it silly that the record and playback sample rate have to match? If you think about it, when you're recording, the sound you're listening to is looped through your sound interface. If the rates don't match, it'll stop working because from your description, you're probably using something like a simple Realtek which can only do one thing at a time.
Really, the inbuilt sound cards on most computers are NOT designed for any serious recording--they're far more suitable just for watching Youtube or making Skype calls. However, you CAN use it if your really must--but it'll get confused trying to handle two sample rates at once.
It's not anything silly in Audition--it's a limitation of your sound card and operating system.

Premiere pro/audition bug? Mixdown file won't play in sequence

Howdy.
Never had this happen before, so I thought I'd ask you academic types what's going on.
I created a sequence in PP that contained multiple audio (wav)/video files. I exported the audio to Audition, balanced the amplification, declicked, popped, etc. Created a mixdown of the files and exported (wav). I imported the mixdown to PP and placed it into the sequence (I've done this thousands of times before). Unfortunately, there were no waveforms on the file and no audio can be heard.
However, if I open the same file in the source monitor the waveforms are there and the file plays as it should. I can also open and play the wav file in media play, for example, and everything appears to be fine.
Any ideas on why it won't play in the program monitor/timeline/sequence?
Thanks

Oh well, not a big deal. I was able to use the clip by creating a new sequence, dragging from source monitor to new sequence, then copy/paste from the new sequence to the sequence I needed.

So just to be clear on a few things:
Should partitioning the hard drive not work is it undoable?
Will this have any impact on doing a complete erase and reinstall and will that restore it back from the process?
Is there a limited amount of space that makes this process ineffective?
I have never had to do this sort of thing so I just want to be sure I don;t wind up in the dog house *)
Thanks again

Adobe Audition CC 2014 Won't Play Anything

It was working fine yesterday, but now when I open my project file, it won't play. I've tried opening other files and nada, nothing will play when I press the play button or hit the spacebar. I unplugged my mic and it still won't play. I've re-started the app numerous times and restarted my laptop as well. Nothing works. I'm using the LATEST version on a Dell PC running Windows 7. Please HELP!

?Try clicking Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware then change the "Master Clock" setting from Output to Input, click Apply, then revert it back to Output and Apply once more and let us know if that has any effect, please.

Updated OSX - DVD-R's won't play now

A few weeks ago, I updated to 10.3.8, then 10.3.9, and now DVD-R's won't play anymore. The drive doesn't recognize them. These are DVD's that played fine before, in fact some of them are DVD's that I burned on this machine.

Edit, it is impossible to update 10.3.9 online to 10.4.9.
Only 10.4 up to date, 10.4 on CDs (which can be gotten from the media exchange program if you have 10.4 on DVD), 10.4 on DVD would bring you to a 10.4.9 updater compatible 10.4. Since you initially had 10.3.8 according to your initial post, something doesn't jibe about what you are saying. Where did you get 10.4 to update your 10.3.8 or 10.3.9?
Also if your machine came with 10.3, what happened to the 10.3 installer DVD that came with it?

In OSX 10.9, Quicktime movies won't play

Plug-in not "visible" in list even though Quicktime is installed. In this OS, we cannot "reinstall" Quicktime because it's built into the OS. How can I get the QT videos to run inside Firefox?

You said that QuickTime movies won't play "inside Firefox". Do they play inside Safari or when you directly access a QuickTime Movie file that's been saved on your Mac ?
See the Firefox Support article, [[Use the QuickTime plugin to play audio and video]]. It has some test links and explains how to enable the QuickTime plugin in the Add-ons Manager, in case it's been disabled in Firefox.
Like you say, QuickTime is built into the operating system on Mac OS so if you can't enable the browser plugin in Firefox or if it's missing, your best bet would be a Mac forum such as https://discussions.apple.com/

Videos won't play in powerpoint when connected to projector

I've tried to find a solution for my problem online but haven't come across anyone with the same issue. I often work with powerpoint presentations with many videos in it. The videos play just fine on my laptop and also when hooked up to an external monitor, which I use when at work, both in slideshow mode and when previewing my animations. However, when I hook up my mac onto a projector the videos won't play - not on my laptop screen nor on the projected screen. I've tried rearranging the displays by draggin the menu bar to either display and also switched from mirror screens to presenter's view within powerpoint but nothing helped solve the issue. The only solution I found is to play the presentation on my windows partition - which is not really what I'm planning to do for long term...
I'm using Powerpoint 2011 for mac and this problem has occurred using multiple projectors.
Any help on how to solve this issue is highly appreciated!

I had the same problem today in front of an audience with 300 people (MacbookPro OSX 10.10, Thunderbolt-VGA adapter, PPT 14.4.6).
Here what I figured out so far:
1. It happens when you have PPT open and connect to beamer afterwards
2. You can resolve it (in my case) by quitting PPT and launching it WHEN connected to beamer
3. Yet, make sure Mac does not go into sleep mode or you get a lock-screen in the waiting time. if you do so, you get back to square 1. quit PPT again 2. restart it.
4. Also.... in one case I had to hit the volume control once to get the sound back even though movie was playing
So in short: Connect to beamer first, then launch PPT
I know it is only a symptom fix but it worked for me

ITunes won't play quicktime videos on Mac anymore.

I'm using 10.7.3
iTunes 10.6
MacBook Pro 2.6Ghz 4GB ram
iTunes won't play my video anymore and it's been a while I'm not sure when it occured if it's after an update to snow leopard or iTunes updates...
When I double click a video I get "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." ??
...and cannot convert the option doesn't work I get this other message when trying to convert a version for APPLE TV in advanced menu "None of the selected files were converted because they could not be found."??
But the movies are quicktime movies in my library and the MPEG-4 plays in iTunes but not on APPLE TV.
From all my videos I get one only going through APPLE TV and when I try opening it it says error occured why opening and never works??
It seems APPLE is regularly messing things up in updates to loose people so they have to pay for tech support, I didn't upgrade to iPhoto 11 and cannot import anything anymore into it so my entire library is a dead one ; not a cool way to do business than messing people software so they have to buy newer versions!!!
Any specialists that know how to fix this ??

The 32-bit solution has never, I repeat, never worked for me. I've even done a full reinstall on a clean drive of OSX Lion with a fresh install of iTunes downloading a video of "The Big Bang Theory" that just came out this last thursday and still get the error (just finished the full reinstall to a clean drive now and, no, I didn't do any backup restores.)
The only solution I've found is to remove the video from iTunes, without deleting the file, then import the file back into iTunes.
Switching to 32-bit iTunes to run the file causes iTunes to tell me it needs to open iTunes to play the file then it sits and waits for itself to open until I cancel the process. The video then plays without audio.
I have noticed that I can stream the files to my Apple TV to play even while getting the error trying to play them on the computer I downloaded the files onto.
As a result of this error, I've had to reduce the amount of content I purchase from iTunes. no more buying whole seasons at a time unless I do it at the start of the season. Even then, I'm reconsidering it. The amount of work required to get the files into a playable status on the computer is simply too great on an on-going basis.

SWF created in Flash MX 7 won't play in browser w/Flash Player 9

I just noticed that my website, which I made from a template
from templatesheaven.com, isn't playing in Flash Player 9 in a
browser. It plays in the standalone player for some reason, but
when I look at it on the web, it shows just the count-in (or
whatever it's called, the pre-load), but stops when the counter
hits 99% and the action never starts. The website is at:
www.gwhitty.com
I built it using Flash MX 7, but for all I know the template
was made using Swish, which apparently causes problems with Flash
Player 9. Anyone have any other ideas? Still plays fine in FP7, so
I'm stumped. If I open my .fla file in Flash 9 and then export,
will that likely fix the problem? Any ideas appreciated...
