Waveform disappearing in the Timeline

The audio Waveform is constantly disappearing and reappearing from the Timeline with this latest update v13.1.4 build 2. When I scroll left to right or zoom into the timeline, the waveform disappears and reappears without logic. As a result I am unable to visually edit to the audio piece and have to scrub through it to hear the audio instead.

Please fix!

Same thing happening to me on 14.9.0. Rendering the audio would bring the waveforms back for a short time but they would disappear in short order. Thankfully the trick Gregory mentioned of soloing the audio in the multicam track worked. This is a seriously annoying bug.

Same problem here! Is very annoying not being able to see what is happening in a clip because there is no audio info 😞

I've had this problem since at least CC2017. Multicam sequences will randomly stop showing the waveform.
After solo-ing or muting a single track inside a multicam sequence with several audio tracks, once you go back in the "master" sequence, no waveform to be seen. Just a red flat line. You have to go back and Solo all the tracks to fix it... Or add an empty track, or anything to change the "audio setup".
I have a project right here right now that have this problem. If some Adobe staff is willing to take a look, I can make a screen capture but I'm keeping my expectations low... The problem has been here for so long that Adobe will probably only fix it when some fancy Netflix editor will complain about it. Who are we to talk to God, right?!

How is this 'professional' software if you can't even see a waveform while dragging it?

Came here to report this same bug in 14.3.0 only to find out that it has already been reported multiple times.

Not being able to see waveforms in a professional editing tool is a showstopper bug that must have been addressed right away. It's ridiculous to not see waveforms in professional editing tool. Yet, it wasn't fixed for a YEAR?

Adobe, are you serious?
