I can't figure out why this file won't get rid of silence there are a few pauses that are roughly 15 seconds long that the diagnostics tab won't pic up for some reason

that's what I keep seeing, and this is what the waveform looks like currently. please help, i don't want to have to manually edit out all the silences.

It's almost certainly getting confused by the idea that audio has to be above 0dB for 25ms before it's audio. You need to alter that setting! If you select your file and use 'find levels', what figures does it suggest?

Steve is likely spot on. I don't think any of your audio reaches 0dB (and it's quite right that it shouldn't). Zoom in to the waveform to work out what level your periods of silence are then define audio as being anything a few dB more than that.

that's what I get when I use find levels for some reason, I don't want to mess up the sound.
