Audio re-rendering every time I start playback (enhanced speech related)

I am using the new enhanced speech options but everytime I pause playback and restart (even when no changes are made) audio has to render. Often the progress bar goes beyond 100% and often it is rendering clips that I am not trying to preview. 

The audio render engine surrounding enhanced speech feels very broken. Enhanced speech works, but it makes the whole project pretty horrible to work on.

Here it is, April 2024 and still having this same issue. Anyone figure it out? Is adobe just gonna ignore this? It is a huge time killer and I literally can't do anything else while its rendering.

After applying enhancced speech, I simply exported a WAV file and re-imported it to make my edits. So far it works great.

I am experiencing the same issue. After render the Voice enhancement effect (Which takes a significant amount of time) the effect will have to re-rerender if I, move the timeline, cut a clip, play a clip, breath heavily.

Well, it's been released and it's still janky. Thanks Adobe.

totally, we should be able to Cache the audio file and pause the -rerendering a bit like with Roto in Ae. Until then I guess we must cut up then apply enhance at the end. Or enhance then nest the audio once added to the timeline before editing the video. Hoepfully Adobe sort it out ASAP. Super useful feature once it's dev'd up!

This still seems to be an issue in Feb 24

I've run into this same issue as well...I tried finishing my edit and then nesting all the audio on the track and then applying the Speech Enhance but it won't let me apply the effect to nested audio. The only workaround I found was to apply the Speech Enhance to the full audio clip before applying any cuts, then nesting that audio clip, then it would let me edit without trying to render every time I make a cut. Really enjoy the enhance feature built in, hope this is an easy fix.!

I'm experiencing this annoying bug as well.

On a related note, Why doesn't the "Global FX Mute" button disable all audio effects too? It should be labeled "Video FX Mute" instead and there should be another button for "Audio FX Mute".

Yea - this is a nightmare. I have tried a few of the solutions suggested and still get no improvement. Working with a 50 min interview - and enhancing the speech is now cue'd to take 3 - 4 hours! (see below) My solution is to export the audio, then uploading to the Adobe Podcast / Speech Enhance tool - let that do the enhancing (in a matter of minutes) then bring it back into my project.

So I have been using a kind of workaround. I wait until my project is pretty much complete and leave the audio until last, making cuts to the audio but not enhancing it until the very end. Once everything is cut together I then nest all of the audio clips and then apply Enhanced Speech to the nested clip. That way I don't have to deal with the painfully annoying "rendering audio" loading screen anytime I change the smallest thing. It's not ideal and Adobe definitely needs to work on improving this issue, however, the Enhanced Speech feature is honestly pretty incredible and still saves me a ton of time especially on poor audio that I typically enhance in Audition. It's a game changer in terms of the quality vs speed balance that us video editors are always fighting, but dammit Adobe get this on your list!
