Adobe Audition Records Audio Slightly Faster Than Playback at a Constant Rate

Hello, I am experiencing a recording issue in Adobe Audition's Multitrack mode and would appreciate some help.

1. Problem Description

When recording while playing a backing track (MR), the recorded audio is consistently slightly faster than the playback.

The recording does not gradually get faster over time. Instead, the entire recording is sped up by a consistent ratio, causing it to drift out of sync with the backing track.

2. Troubleshooting Steps I Have Tried

I have tried several troubleshooting methods, but none of them have resolved the issue.

• Matched sample rates and related settings: I checked and matched the relevant sample rate, Hz, and other audio settings across Adobe Audition, my audio interface, Windows, and the rest of the system.

• Loopback tests: I performed loopback tests and other diagnostic tests.

• Changed audio interfaces: I switched to a different audio interface, but the problem persisted.

• Tried ASIO4ALL: I tested ASIO4ALL as an alternative driver, but it did not solve the problem.

• Tested different versions of Adobe Audition: I installed and tested multiple versions. One version recorded correctly, but the issue occurred in subsequent versions.

3. Audition Version

Based on my testing, the issue started with Adobe Audition 2023 version 23.5.0.48.

A specific earlier version worked correctly, but the issue has persisted in versions since then.

Since changing audio settings, hardware, and drivers has not resolved the issue, I suspect it may be related to Adobe Audition itself, although I have not been able to confirm the exact cause.

4. Question

Does anyone know what might cause this issue or how to fix it? I would appreciate any suggestions from people who have experienced or resolved a similar problem.

Thank you!
