Audio while scrubbing

Audio while scrubbing isn't working at all in Premiere Pro 2025.  It will play a the first 10th of a second when scrubbing, but then silence. 

 

This coupled with how insanely slow the UI is in this version and 2026 basically makes it impossible to do fine audio edits. 

 

STOP BREAKING THINGS!!!! If you're unable to reliably release  a working app every year then slow down! This decline is software quality cannot continue

    Delete the Media Cache and Media Cache files:

    If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

    Try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.
