After updating Creative Cloud to 5.6.0.788 and installing AE v22.1.1, I can no longer preview compositions in AE.
Doesn't matter what file I try, when I first open AE, preview will work about 1-3 times. But inevitably when I press space to play the preview won't work. What happens instead is the CTI will move back by 1 frame. AE has fully rendered the comp according to the green bar. So I am not sure what's going on.
I have reset the preview controls to default, restarted my laptop, uninstalled/reinstalled AE, installed previous versions of AE but nothing solves the issue.
Looking up other posts has not lead to a solution. This post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/after-effect-preview-not-work/m-p/9804142/p...) claims its an audio hardware issue, but after removing all other audio devices except for the built in speakers on my laptop I haven't been able to solve it. If I try to switch the audio device from (System Default - System Speakers) to just (System Speakers), AE freezes and goes non-responsive.

Can you please share your system info? Like OS and version, CPU, RAM, GPU vRAM? Thanks.

Hi Blair5EDA,
Sorry for your issue.
Have you tried resetting the preferences of After Effects: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-how-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-after...
If it doesn't help, try updating the drivers of both the GPUs (onboard and dedicated). Here's how you can check the version of the installed GPU driver: https://support.viewsonic.com/en/support/solutions/articles/33000221571-how-to-check-graphics-card-d...
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks,
Nishu
