After Effects or Media Encoder 23.6 is bugging out sound.

[Thai5C65]

This has happened multiple times now consistently ONLY when I use AE and ME 23.6 to export a file.

After exporting, it will randomly disable my computer sound and there's nothing I can do other than restart computer.   It just did it again now, so have to restart right after I post this.

All drivers and apps are up to date and have been clean installed.

Does this happen if you export directly from After Effects or only when going from AE to AME for export? If it's the latter, we should take this bug over to the AME forums.

It's using the Add to ME queue, then exporting from ME since AE doesn't have ProRes export options.

Any specific ones AE is missing?

Wait, weird.....I have to look again now, because all of those were missing.

Omg, Why are those hidden under Quicktime and not Apple ProRes MXF OP1a?

And why is there even two different options for that now that I check it in ME too?  That makes me nervous that they are different even though "preset" or "format" titled the same.
