Premiere Pro doesn't import audio - error code 1609891836

Hi all, hope someone can help me fix this issue. 
I had to wipe my Macbook Pro, everything was working fine before this wipe. I installed Premiere Pro 25 and I can't manage to import audio from my videos, even from old projects I was working on, and they were working fine before the wipe. I tried looking online and it's not a cache problem and any audio setting tweak doesn't fix it. I'm going mad, tried installing Premiere Pro 24 and I have the same issue. 

Any idea on how to fix it? I can't figure it out, thanks!

Hi, thanks for checking. 
I had to wipe my Mac to fix it. It all happened suddently. Been using same videos as always and also old projects didn't work anymore. It's such a shame as there was no fix. I tried everything before wiping my Mac. In past I had the same issue but the opposite way, I was able to import only audio and not video track. Now everything works fine!
