Just started getting this error window today while working on a very simple project that only has a couple After Effects motion graphics clips, and three tracks of audio: VO, music, and light SFX:

 

Event Details:

Can't access audio

the audio for _____.wav can't be read quickly enough from storage. Please check your storage and try again.

 

Build:

Windows 11 Pro 26100.3624

12th Gen Intel i7-12700K 3.60 GHz

32 GB of RAM

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 

 

The local C drive is an NVME SSD, but the file in question is stored on a Synology NAS with IronWolf HDDs. Both the computer and the NAS were built from new parts this year.

 

Premiere: 25.2, installed this week.

 

The same error happened on a second computer (same build, also connect to the NAS).

Tossing my coin in on the same issue in Premiere 25.2.0 (Build 147) also on PC Win11. 
Continually happening in several different projects thus far. Wavs, mxf's, gopro stuff - everything has been affected with it at some point. Took a screenie of the errors and sample wav it did it on, along with the drive it claims it can't read it from which has loads of extra space left?

Even if you are in the middle of a project, you can downgrade, or even better, I suggest you abandon the program altogether and switch to another program already. Adobe is a paradise of problems that never end.

It is difficult to understand how this one has not yet been fixed. Several days have passed. There are much less expensive and free options. Maybe they have persistent bugs too. Also, I struggle with learning a new interface.

I'm in the middle of a project, so I should wait to roll back right?

Same issue with me Audio can't be read quickly enough. All equipment is fine. What version should I roll back to and how do I do that?

I rolled mine back to 25.1 per your most recent post. No errors since. I'll keep in on this version until a fix is found.

I'm getting the same error, I'm literally making an extra effort to run the project. Dear Adobe, why do you fix one thing and break another? Shouldn't updates be based on a solid foundation? We appreciate your efforts to bring additional features into the program, but this is becoming unsustainable and I can no longer imagine building my next project with this program.

Same thing here. Annoying.

This might be it. this might just be the bug that does it. Between this, save files corrupting, the stupid Transcription bug that jumps your playhead when you're trying to 3-point edit, I literally can't use Premiere reliably. I can't run a business on this platform.
