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.

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 (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 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.

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.

Vidio won't play in landcape

vadio won't play in landscape on iphon5 ios7

Check that the right Audio Driver and default output paths are selected under Edit/Audio Hardware Setup. I believe I've seen the transport controls greyed out when Audition can't find a valid path/driver for the audio--and you have to select separately in Multirack and Edit view.
Even if you haven't knowingly changed these settings, Vista and Win7 seem to be able to do some weird things.

.aiff files won't play in finder (and some programs)

Mac Pro 4.1
Doing some long-overdue file cleanup, and when I preview some .aiff files in the finder they won't play. The Apple .aiff sound effect files play, but things I've recorded won't play, although they will play if imported into iTunes. Other audio formats are playing fine in Finder.
Also, a recording program I sometimes use called Tracktion will play files in other formats, but my .aiff files are silent or pure harsh static.
Is there a global setting that might be corrupted somewhere? Could this be the fault of my recent Mavericks installation?
Thanks!

I came across the same problem in Mavericks, some wav files played, others didn't. I found that adding '.wav' to the end of files that didn't audition in Finder cured the problem.
As I have many thousands of sound fx files in different formats, changing them individually was not possible.
There are batch conversion apps which will add the .wav (or other format endings) when batch converting - this is what I have been doing. Export them with no change to format but the filename is now correct to audition.
Mavericks broke the two things I liked most - auditioning sounds, movies, pictures etc from Finder, and the file/folder highlight colours. Just a stupid coloured dot now.

Adobe Audition will not play audio

After using Adobe Audition for a number of years I recently imported an audio file to edit but it won't play. I have rebooted, run only Audition and tried different audio files without success. What can I do?

I have reinstalled Audition and set the preferences to other hardware (both audio and cache) and it is working this morning. Not exactly sure what made it work (although I did say a brief prayer before trying it one more time this morning) but it is working.
Thank you for your help in working through the issue – it is much appreciated.

AuditionCS6 loaded but won't play

Audition CS6 is installed and will show on the screen, but it won't play the file. Help please?

I wouldn't bother - that won't be the problem at all. If you can open Audition, load a file, and then it won't play, the transport has failed. And the only reason that the transport fails is that Audition isn't connected to your sound device any more. So go to the preferences section, look at the hardware settings and see what's happened there. Reinstalling won't alter this in the slightest.
You haven't said whether this is on a Mac or a PC, but this behaviour is the same on both.

IPhone 5s Voice memo to mp3. Now music on iPhone. Won't play from search function.

I record my band rehearsals using the voice memo on my iPhone 5s. Then I sync to iTunes and convert file to mp3. When i sync back to my iPhone it appears in my music. So far, so good. When I use the search function in music it finds the file but won't play from tapping. I must troll through all my music songs (currently 2227 of them) to find it and then play it. Is it something to do with it still being under the genre "voice memos" or what ? Anybody help please. Thanks

iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
It used to be part of the iLife suite of applications.
iWeb has no knowledge of the internal speaker on your iPhone.
You may want to ask in the right forum.

When leave I nano 4th gen connected to either of my cars it no longer restarts playing when car is restarted. Instead it shows 'no entry' in the song title on the car audio display and won't play until disconnected and reconnected.

Nano has worked fine for a couple of years being left connected to either one of our cars. However, every time car is restarted it won't play without being disconnected and reconnected. I have done a full restore.
Current cars are Range Rover Sport 2011 and Jaguar XK 2011.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks,

I had a similar problem. Try resetting and erasing the phone and restoring from a known good backup.

ITunes Purchased Music Won't Play

OK, I must be doing something wrong. I sync my iPhone and it gets all the music I had selected. But I've discovered a number of songs that won't play...and these just happen to be iTunes purchased music! My regular mp3's will play.
Now I know the purchased songs work because they play on my Nano and Shuffle2. The purchased songs also play in iTunes.
Any ideas?
And a second question...I've downloaded a few TV shows which play fine in iTunes but do not play on the iPhone. Is there a "trick" to playing my purchased music and video on the iPhone?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi!
I discovered that my purchase music and videos stopped playing when I went into a Tully's coffee shop and attempted to access their Wi-fi network. I don't know if this was the cause of me losing access to my purchase music, but this is when the problems started. When I got home today I unloaded all the music playlists off of my iphone using itunes, and then I added them back in and re-synced. This seem to do the trick. I can now listen to all of my purchased music and watch my purchased videos. Give it a try. I hope that we don't have to do this sort of thing all the time.

Certain songs won't play on devices

I have an iphone 5 and an older ipod colour 30gb.
Recently the iphone wouldn't get new songs added to it during syncing with itunes.
I removed all music then readded it. It now has all songs displayed on it, but will only play some.
The ones which don't play have the stop icon next to them in the playlist view and are greyed out.
It just skips to the next song when attempting to play. These songs played previously and are fine in itunes.
They are imported not bought MP3's.
After recently syncing the ipod recently it has the same issue, showing songs in the list but just skipping over them when playing.
I am loath to restore both devices, as it would seem like an itunes issue if it is affecting multiple devices similarly.
Is it possible to rebuild my library or something, or should i restore itunes?
Im a reasonably experienced mac user so have checked what i hope are sensible things, inc d
Ideas?
Thanks!

In addition I have now:
Reinstalled itunes,
rebuilt my itunes library,
restored my iphone and used a backup on it.
It is still doing it! The songs which won't play or are greyed out etc are different this time again though.
