Audio not playing at all in the Timeline

Hello, I have been trying to solve this problem for weeks at this point with no avail.
I'm running the latest version of Adobe Animate, '(Animate 24.0.4)', updated a few hours ago.

Here's the steps I've been taking to import and use my audio files.
1.  File > Import > Import to Library. I've tried multiple .wav and mp3 files, all producing similar results.
2. When in the library, I drag said file into the stage, and add frames for the audio to play in the timeline.

3. Press play. No matter it starts from the first frame, scrubbing, or in different parts of the project, nothing plays. I've also tried changing between Event and Stream multiple times.

Also a note below.
- In other Adobe windows, such as Test Movie, Export, and testing audio files in their Properties, all those audios seem to work fine. The issue seems to lie in the actual Animate window itself.
