Rich Media does not play/show control buttons in Acrobat Reader DC

I've recently recieved Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 and added some mp3 to my PDFs. When I open my PDFs in the Acrobat Reader, it does not show any audio control buttons like play, stop, etc. (see picture)

Also when I open my file at work in the Acrobat Reader I can't even play my mp3 - I just see a green line on a black background and hear no sound. Playback works at my laptop in the Reader and the Pro version.

Thanks!

Correct answer Luis Schmidt

I actually contacted the support directly after some time as I felt it quite frustrating paying so much money for a product only to find out that the function you are looking for isn't working properly.

When I contacted the support directly they provided me with a workaround that helped.

I don't understand why this issue occurs and I'm really annoyed by it!

Hi, I have the same problem - no way to add playback control options - we're over 2 years on from the original post - has this issue been fixed? Can you tell me how to add playback control on MP3s?
