The sound gets cut out in Preview after a frame or two

I'm using Version 18.2.1 and having a problem of the sound getting cut out after previewing a frame or two.

The video previews fine and it happens regardless if the video is on or off.

Sometime it doesn't play the audio at all.

Playing with preferences doesn't help either. Actually it does once a while, but then after a couple of times, it stops playing the audio after a frame or two.

Any bug report? and/or a solutions?
