Bug Reports

I have large MP3 files that I am gradually ‘splitting’ into individual files. To do this, I use right-click > Save selection as. When saving directly to the network drive, the save fails in about one out of three cases with the following message: ‘An error occurred while saving the file to the hard drive. The destination directory may be full or no longer available.’This is extremely annoying and has been happening repeatedly for many months. What is the cause and how can it be prevented?

This has been going on for awhile through different versions and had hoped it would just get fixed, but apparently not. In Hiss Reduction clicking Capture Noise Floor no longer works for Channel 1, only Channel 2, making it half useless.   

I have the Wide Orbit plugin to save from Adobe Audition directly into our automation system.  Every time I save a pop up comes up BEHIND the Adobe Audition Screen instead of in front.   Is there a way to change this so that it pops up in front so it's not hidden? 

Steps to reproduce:Open an audio fileChoose Edit -> Convert Sample Type from menu barSet the 'Bit depth' control to 4 bitsHit OK Expected resultAudio samples are quantized to 16 levels Actual resultAudio samples are quantized to 256 levels (8-bit) You'll notice that the Y axis of the waveform changes to 'samp' with values up to 256. If you correspond the samples of the quantized waveform to the axis gradations, you'll see they correspond to these 256 values, not 16 values.

SiriusXM gave us new Windows 11 laptops. During setup, I loaded the latest edition of Adobe Audition from Creative Cloud. I immediately ran into problems loading up sessions, with warning about files that could not be imported. After doing some research, I decided to uninstall version 25.0 and install an older version (24.6.7 Long Term Supported). That got me back in the game, but now I anticipate having issues sharing my sessions with others in the SXM community with new laptops, running the new Version 25.0.  Has anyone else experienced this issue? Also, I'd be interested in knowing if there was something I could have done while in Version 25.0 that could have helped. 

I am trying to make perfect ogg file loops for games using Adobe Audition, and for the longest time, this was never an issue with the app as it would create perfect loops each time for Unity.   However, the latest version gives the ogg a very brief 'pause' at the end of the loop. When I bring the loop to a different program, such as Reaper, I can see that Adobe Audition's export has left a teensy tiny bit of silence in every ogg file I export, and now in order to do my loop exports, I have to do my sound work in Adobe Audition, bring it to Reaper and then export it as a proper loop.  It's an additional step, with an additional app. This used to work in previous versions of Adobe Audition.  Is there any way to fix this? I'm currently using, 25.6.0.97 on Windows 11

Hello, I’ve run into a strange issue with Adobe Audition. After watching the Help → Learn Audition video, one of my screens suddenly turns completely black. The black screen only appears when Audition is running – if I quit the application it disappears, but as soon as I relaunch Audition, the black screen comes back. System details: •  macOS 15.7.2•  MacBook Pro (M1 Max chip)•  Adobe Audition (latest Creative Cloud release) I haven’t tried any fixes yet, so I’d appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced the same behaviour or knows how to resolve it. Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem, but on my imac. Just updated to mac OS Sequoia 15.7.2 last week. I've tried everything to resolve the issue. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Audition, reset Audition's preferences, installed the previous version of Audition, reached out to 3 different support tech people at Adobe--nothing's helped. For me, it crashes when I select an Effect in the Effects Rack. But only once... then it lets me do it about 6 more times before it crashes again. So weird! I hope Adobe fixes this issue asap. It's unbelievably frustrating, as I use it all day for my work.

I am running 11 on a new computer, when I installed the newest version of Adobe Audition the program crashes nearly daily and on days when I'm busy using it it crashes repeatetdly. For example in the past 2 hours I have had to close the program and restart it 5 times. This is unacceptable and VERY dissapointing especially after I just renewed my subscription. I have spoken to a couple other commercial producers and those of us who are uppdated are expierencing the nearly daily crashes. Adobe Audition needs to do better.

When recording from stereo mix, as soon as I hit record I get a background waveform of around 36hz at -20db being recorded.  This appears not to affect the recording other than by making the waveform look wrong.  On playback it is inaudible.  This doesn't occur when I record using Audacity.I've spent hours talking to AI about it and tried many ways to fix it but to no avail.  Any thoughts?I'm using an HP OmniBook 5 WIN 11 with Realtek High Definition Audio   

I’m using Audition 2025. A few days ago Audition seemed to reset itself (?) and I lost some preferences – I’ve been using the 2025 version for at least the last five months. I’ve tried resizing the healing brush three times with the result being an immediate crash. Just opening a file, hitting the [B] hotkey and resizing it up from 30 to around 50/60 is enough for the program to shut down and an error report prompt to appear.

Unfortunately the VocAlign VST3 plug-in doesn't work properly in Audition. I can only capture the Dub track not the Guide track. Any idea what I could do?

Hello All,I use Audition 25.3.0.71 for my work, where we create marker regions in a wav file, build a concatenated playlist from the marker regions, and play back.  It simulates the end result for us, as we use concatenated audio files to build out larger pieces of audio.  We typically use Sound Forge for this, but I'd like to start using Audition.  Unfortunately, the playlists in Audition never play back seamlessly.  It often cuts off the upcoming region by about 150ms.  Things I've tried:1. Windows machine (Win11 v25H2) and a Mac (OSX 14.8.1) machine2. Various audio interfaces (USBPre2 and RME Babyface)3. Every buffer size availabe on each interface and various test files from sample rates 12kHz-48kHz)4. Disabling the "Return Playhead to Start Position on Stop" 5. Clearing the cache6. Playlists created in Audition, Sound Forge, and proprietary software we use at work, Sound Forge.  The playlist works, it just always cuts off a good portion of the in

I've had an Adobe subscription for ages, but just recently needed to download Audition. I went to "Open Recent" to continue working on a file, and noticed a handful of files in my recent that I've never heard of... included ones named "ummmm.sesx", "sounds.sesx", and "CASHMEOUTSIDE.sesx". Obviously, when I tried to open them they couldn't be located. Is this a glitch? My first thought was that someone had gained access to my account, but my license is already active on my desktop and laptop (max activation) and I've never gotten kicked, or had any indication on my other apps' recent history that someone else has used my account. I'm running Version 25.3.0.71 on MacOS Sequoia 15.6.

When I export from Audition as a Mixdown, and when I bring it back into Premiere Pro, it sound soooo different. Right now I have a sidechain where the VO dialogue is supposed to go mute, but it somehow goes through and completely bypasses the sidechain effect. BUT in Audition, it works perfectly, and when I export,it  doesn't sound right at all, and my EQ is not as bright as it is in AuditionI have a 2020 iMac 5kOS Venturta 13.73.6 GHz 10-Core IntelAMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB64GB RAM

Hi there, I'm working on a Audition project, and one of the files simply stays offline. The file actually exists in the same place it always did. When I try to link the media, it processes it but when it's done processing it says "offline" again. It will not load. What is happening and how can I fix this? Files are stored locally. 

I have been having repeated crashes when using the spot healing brush to make an edit in the spectral frequency display. The crash happens when I change the brush size (either using a key command or typing in the number manually). I can temporarily fix the issue by shutting down and restarting my computer, but then it seems to happen again after editing for awhile. Any solutions? I am working on Adobe Audition 2025 v25.3 on iMac (MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1)

Title pretty much says it all, but here are some specific steps to reproduce: Open Adobe AuditionCreate a new, 32-bit audio file.Generate a tone so there is some waveform data.Select the Paintbrush Selection tool and adjust the Size parameter by click-dragging the number or directly typing into the field. This immediately crashes Adobe Audition on my machine. I can sometimes adjust the Size parameter if I am editing an empty 16-bit file with nothing else open in Audition. I have not tried other bitrates or scenarios.  Here's some basic system information. In case it matters, I'm using a third-generation Focusrite 2i2 as my audio input and output device, driver version 4.119.13.33 from 11/27/2023. I hope this helps! OS NameMicrosoft Windows 11 Pro EducationVersion10.0.22631 Build 22631OS ManufacturerMicrosoft CorporationSystem ManufacturerDell Inc.System ModelPrecision 3680System Typex64-based PCSystem SKU0C8CProcessorIntel(R) Core(TM) i7-14700K, 3400 Mhz,

After upgrading to Audition 25.3 from 25.2, the application will no longer launch, and it crashes instantly. I had to uninstall and roll back to 25.2. I tried to upgrade twice, and immediately after the new installation, it failed to launch. Anyone else having this issue? On a Windows 11 Business 24H2 Lenovo with 128 GB RAM, 2.40 GHz Intel Core. All other Adobe products work fine, and once I roll back to Audition 25.2, the crashing issue disappears.I tried to uninstall and do a fresh install. This did not change the problem. Doing a straight update in Creative Cloud does not work, either.  

Hi there, I am using Audition v25.3.0.71 and Mac 14.2.1. In earlier versions, I was able to use Export --> Session… to create a copy of my multi-track session and with "Save copies of associated files" checked, I was able to copy just the used clips into a new "copied" folder. I liked this a lot 'cause it got rid of any extraneous files that might have been in the "Imported" folder.Ever since v25 hit, any attempt to use this option results in no files being saved at all in the destination folder. No copy of the session. No copied folders. I know I can do something similar with "Save As," but it appears that not all files get saved into the resulting folder, so I have to manually add the missing files. I'm also not sure if this gets rid of the extraneous files. In any case, has this happened to anyone else and does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

I use Audition almost daily, and recently on a new PC, I have been having issues- I cannot launch it without reinstalling it after using it for a while, forcing me to keep having to reinstall it, to use it for a while, then when I close and reopen it another day, it remains stuck at Initialization (dvascripting). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!  

I have a long (1hr 40mins) project in Premiere Pro that I am trying to edit in Audition, as normal. However, about 50% of the way through the Audition 'opening project' dialogue, I get the following error: /Volumes/****.prprojError: File not supported by any currently registered plug-ins. That is the entirety of information given by the error message and then Audition opens, but with no data imported from Premiere. I have been using this workflow ever since Adobe launched Mercury Transmit and have never seen anything like this before. My system is fully updated, with the latest Adobe and Apple software versions:Premiere 25.4.1 (build 3)Audition 25.3.0.71MBP M4 Max, 128GB, 4TB SSDOSX 15.6.1 Next step will be uninstalling and re-installing Audition, but any other ideas will be very well received!

Hi to all ! A new bug started yesterday in Adobe Audition 25.3.0.71, installed on PC with Windows 11 When I try to use anything needing to display a dialog box, this box opens totally blank... I tried to reset Audition to factory settings, then uninstalled and reinstalled it... Nothing works. Attached is a screenshot of an exemple of this very annoying bug. Thanks in advance for any idea to solve this !

Hi everyone, I would really appreciate any help with a matter. I'm editing a project in Audition and I was just command S-ing when I noticed it didn't lead to any saving. Then I checked the file bar and all three save buttons were greyed out. Then tried to export to save my progress and the export multitrack is greyed out. I tried finding similar problems but all the results didn't solve my problem. Most were solved by the output not being in Mix but all of my outputs are in Mix. The closest problem I saw mentioned was that I had two sesx files with the same name, but I have no idea if that is the problem or how to change the name, as I tried changing the name of the original file, but it didn't change it in Audition. I'm linking two images of my project and the greyed out buttons. Any and all help would be amazing! Thank you. 

When editing in the Waveform window, once I delete the content of an audio file - the waveform itself is still visually showing in the edit window. But the actual audio content is no longer there. It will not erase visually when I click delete (or CTRL-X). The only way to remove the visual representation of the waveform is to hit record again, which then returns the edit window to black. This has only just started happening since the last update.
