Question

and again: no playback with OS ventura and audition 24

Hi there, I have a large movie soundtrack session (19 Min.) with 40 tracks and effects etc. - It all worked well until I restarted the session today to make some edits. Now when I press "play" the status line says "playing" and audition freezes. Only a force quit can help. - I did a restart of all equipment, I checked my audio hardware (Volt 4 by Universal audio)

I checked the audio settings which says "Volt 4" for I/O and the clock, I tried to change the buffer size: nothing helped. - What can I do?  I'm glad for any advice. (I'm using a Macbook Pro M2, running OS ventura)

Preface: I don't have a Mac.

 

But if the transport fails in Audition, it invariably means that for whatever reason, there is no correct connexion between it and the sound device. In other words, both can be fine but the link between them has failed. In this case, I believe that the link is the aggregator in the Mac. So if I was going to start anywhere, that's where I'd look - is the sound device aggregated correctly?

 

And if you've had to force a stop, do you get an Audition crash log? Available from the Help menu, and it will say 'crash' in its title. If you do, can you post the text from it into this thread? It should say specifically why this has happened.

Thanks for the fast answer, SteveG.. Well, it is interesting, that in the waveform editor the audio works as expected, so the connection seems to be working. Switching back to Multitrack it does not. -  What I found in the "Audition Log" is:

Ticks = 153877 <66931 (main)> <signal> <4> OnForceQuit
{
errorCode: "15"
errorDescription: "SIGTERM"
sendingProcess: "loginwindow"
willCrash: "false"
}

Ticks = 153878 <66931 (main)> <signal> <4> Unhandled signal!
{
signal: "15"
}

What ever that means....
