Changing audio in any way causes premiere to freeze

Problem: Whenever I make any changes to audio (cuts, trims, audio effects. muting tracks, etc), premiere freezes right when I play back my sequence. The play arrow turns into a stop arrow if that's helpful. It even happens in nested sequences when I play back in the parent sequence. Interestingly, soloing a track does not cause any freezing.Rendering audio doesn't seem to do anything I have looked through many forum posts and no one else seems to have this issue.  I rolled back to Premiere 2024 and updated my studio driver and it still has these problems.

 

Specs:

RTX 4050 Laptop GPU

32 GB DDR5 RAM

2 TB SSD (1.8 TB remaining, I just got the computer)

Intel 17 13th Gen CPU

Windows 11

Great suggestions @Peru Bob

If resetting preferences doesn't work, and neither does creating a new project, try going to Edit>Preferences>Audio Hardware and make sure the "Default Input" is set to "None."


Let us know if you need any other ideas

Try resetting the preferences:

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