P: Audio "can't be read quickly enough" from storage

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).

    I see 25.2.3 is available but cannot find 25.3. Has anyone else found 25.3 and did it fix all the problems? I cannot waste any more time on this!

    I have updated to latest version, 25.3, and have not had the error since.

    WHAT? THIS STILL ISN'T FIXED????

    Oh, I forgot Adobe doesn't cater to professionals who work for a living.

    Make a copy of the project file and downgrade the version from ardesten at the bottom and you can open it with the premire pro version you installed.

      I did but I'm not finding the old version in Cloud once I've installed it. Now when I go to "other versions" it shows that 25.0 is installed but I have no way of opening it from the Cloud. And I didn't save my problematic project because (a) the program froze and (b) I had just started so there was nothing really to save, meaning I have no project to open in a previous version. Help!

      As others have said, this new update 25.2.3 has NOT fixed the issue. I now get no error message but playing the video results in no audio playing at all - it's just silent where the track is placed. This is so frustrating as a user experience - I feel like I'm beta testing main releases.
