Playback Speed keeps changing itself, audio hardware fix doesn't work

Question

- Using Premiere Pro, no addons or plug-ins or anything.

- Latest version of Premiere pro as of 06/18/2025 through Adobe Creative Cloud: v25.3

- Windows 11

I just want the playback to play at normal speed and stay there 😞

> Somehow, it started playing at 2x the speed

> I struggled (valiantly) with the JKL buttons to get it back to exactly 1x speed

> I go home from work

> cue me opening up the program again after restarting the computer and its at 2.whatever speed again

> this is driving me crazy

I tried the magical audio hardware fix that works for everyone else, but not me 😞 please help if you can. What I can do to fix it. Or if you have a "press the L 4 times, then the K two times and that'll always get you back to normal playback speed", I'd appreciate it so much

Hi there,

We're sorry to hear about this. We can get this checked. Is this happening with any specific media/sequence or all of them? Is the playback in Source monitor also affected? Please, also share a screenshot of the Audio Hardware preferences window. We're here to help, just need more info.

Thanks,

Sumeet
