Project cannot open

I get this message when trying to open an Audition project:


Error: Media Foundation reported an error when opening the file.
The byte stream type of the given URL is unsupported.

 

And the project won't open.

How can I solve or go around the problem?


Best regards from a sunny Copenhagen

This error often relates to missing or unsupported media codecs in Windows. To resolve it:

1. **Install Media Feature Pack**: If you're on Windows 11 N, install the Media Feature Pack from Microsoft's site.
2. **Update Codecs**: Ensure all necessary media codecs are installed, like K-Lite Codec Pack.
3. **Convert Files**: Try converting the audio or video files to a different format before importing them into Audition.
4. **Run as Administrator**: Run Adobe Audition as an administrator to rule out permission issues.

Enjoy the sunny Copenhagen weather!

I'm sorry, but that's all irrelevant because it doesn't relate to Audition Project files. Please read the question more carefully, especially the first line...

What is the extension on the file you are trying to open?
