The below is a fix that is working for some users.

 

Update: 
To fix the issue described below, upgrade your Mac’s OS to the latest version: Sequoia (15.0).
Go to Settings -> General -> Software Update
More information about Sequoia available here.

 

This issue effected some users with Mac Intel computers using AMD Radeon GPUs. The bug involved a crash when using Enhance Speech, particularly with longer audio clips. We do not see evidence that this was effecting other configurations.

We are continuing to work on a fix for remaining users still experiencing this issue. Thank you for your patience.

Hi @raffi2 and @Richard32672607bxp9 ,

sorry to hear that you still run into issues when using Enhance Speech.

Can you please confirm that you still encounter a Kernel Panic?

This is a fully system crash (not just a Premiere application crash) causing your computer to restart.

If this is still the case, the best way to get it actionable on our side is if you could provide us with the resulting Kernel Panic logs.

 

Here is a rundown on how to access the logs:

 

Saving the panic log

A minute or so after a spontaneous restart (or, in some older Macs, after starting up when they had spontaneously shut down) a Panic Alert is displayed, inviting the user to agree to sending the panic log to Apple. Don’t simply send the report to Apple, though, as it’s the only readily accessible record of what happened. Panic logs used to be saved in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports, from where you could open them in Console, but more recently may be found somewhere closer to /var/db/PanicReporter. They’re thus best copied as soon as they appear and before sending them to Apple.

If the alert isn’t already showing the panic log, click on its Report… button, then open a text editor like TextEdit. Copy the whole contents of the panic log into an empty text window and save it somewhere safe before clicking on the button to send the report to Apple. Once you’ve done that, the alert is dismissed and can’t be brought back.

 

Once you have saved the report to disk, it would be great it could be shared with us.

Thank you!

Also, sorry for the tone of my initial comments, I've just found this very frustrating, especially my computer crashing in the middle of work.

I'd like to be the first to report that this hogwash and the issue is NOT fixed. I am running Sequoia 15.0, tried enhance speech, and it crashed my computer as before. I urge you to remove your update, change the status from fixed, and ACTUALLY FIX THIS. It's absurd.
