Sound cuts out after using Reverb dialog

The open-another-file trick didn't work for me, perhaps because I'm on a PC. It was a .wav file, so I made it into a smaller mp3, and then it worked. But seriously, in an Adobe sound editor, we can use the high-quality audio file? I hope someone posts a better work-around than this.

To better explain the issue, it has nothing to do with the processor or being intensive task. After the effect is applied, it is done and that means whatever processor intensive tasks have been completed already. What happens is that after applying one of the effects like Reverb, Audition does not play audio at all. Once the Reverb effect is applied, the dialog disappears and you go back to the timeline. There are no more processes happening at that time. All we're doing is trying to play any other portion of the audio recording. You click Play, you see the clock and the cursor moving, but there is no sound. Not even the audio level indicators register any movement, so there is no sound. This is a clear bug in the application. However, I have found that I do not need to quit audition to have the playback audio restored. All I have to do is open another audio file, or switch to another one if it is already opened, and then switch back to the audio file I am editing and then I am able to play the audio again. This is a nasty bug.

I've been having the same issue. I use the Full Reverb effect, allow it to process, then I can no longer hear anything. The only way to bring back sound is by undoing the Full Reverb effect.

This just happened to me as well, with simply the Reverb option for what its worth.

One thought...are you using Full Reverb in a Multrack session?

Full Reverb is very processor intensive and frequently can't/won't work as part of a non-destructive real time session.

If this sounds like it might be your problem, a couple of thoughts.  First, you can try a more Multitrack-friendly reverby like Studio Reverb or, second, you can pre-render the problematic track so the effect doesn't have to be processed live.  FYI, the pre-render control is the little lightning bolt icon right at the bottom of the effects rack in Multitrack view.
