I haven't used AE in a while and I have an issue with sound/music.
I'm using MP3 files that play fine outside of AE, but in the software some files plays weirdly, some just don't play at all (when I'm checking on my composition there is nothing in the "signal" section) and some play just fine?
I'm using an old version of the software (AE CC 2018)
Ther are a lot of different forms of MP3 compression and AE does not deal well with many of them. 48Khz WAV files are the standard for video production. If you have the entire Creative Cloud suite, you can convert your MP3's to WAV files using Audition. You can also use the Adobe Media Encoder.
AE is picky when it comes to MP3s and support for the format has always been the bare minimum. It doesn't deal with multistreams, DRM, certain types of metadata, certain variable datarates and so on. As suggested, convert your files in an audio processing app.
