Switching windows on Mac stops audio working in Audition

Hi,

 

Version: 24.2.0.83

Platform: Mac Sonoma 14.3

 

Steps:

1. Launch Audition

2. Open/Create a multitrack file

3. Add or record audio

4. Play the audio (everything should work)

5. Switch to a Chrome browser window (I think other apps will cause it as well)

6. Switch back to Audition

7. Attempt to play audio or record audio

 

ACTUAL:

Audition will not play or record audio

 

EXPECTED:

Audition will function the same way it did before switching applications/windows

 

If I close and re-open the multitrack session, the sound plays fine and recording works fine. I just have to close and re-open my project every single time I switch windows. PLEASE HELP!

This is generally a sound device setting - I think you need to let Audition take exclusive control of it before this will happen. That said, it's a Mac - it could be different. But generally, altering the window focus will, all other things being equal, release the sound device and that's what you need to stop happening.
