Premiere gets wrong audio when I import new versions of them.

Hi guys, I will try to explain my problem as best as I can.
We have a Projekt where we have become new audios for it.
The audios have the same name and I believe that this confuses Premiere and imports the old Audios or some completely random, instead of the new ones.
I delete cache and it works for a bit, but then I get after some minutes the same problem.
Should I just normally try to name all the audios differently? Did someone had the same problem?

This used to happen to me on old XDcam footage. All the files were named C0001.mxf, C0002.mxf, etc. When Premiere conforms those files, they get stored in the cache. Months later I'd be working with a different set of XD discs with the same names, and suddenly footage on my timeline would be shorter or longer than the clips themselves. Turned out that Premiere was referencing these old cache files with the same name in regards to the length of the clip. Clearing the cache resolved my issue.

    Hi Christian, 

    This sounds strange. I understand you're importing a files in Premiere Pro but audio playback does not meet the original file.

    Does it happen with any specific file format?

    Which version of Premiere Pro are you using?

    We're here to help.

    Thanks,

    Shivangi

    Exactly! they are mp3 so there it shouldn't be the problem...
    I reset the projekt with just the new audios and there is no problem, so it must be just premiere confusing the old/new audios and storing them in cache.
