Can't Import .Wav File in Animate ver 21.0.8

When I import a .wav file the "one or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them" window appears. In a previous project, the same audio file specs for different audio file imported into the previous version of Animate with no problems, so not sure why it's not working now.

Currently running Animate ver 21.0.8. I've brought the file into Audition as well as Media Encoder to re-export as different sample rates, such as 44100Hz, with the same result. Could there be some other aspect of the audio file that Animate doesn't like?

Audio file in question:

Sample Rate: 48000 Hz

Bit Depth: 32(float)

Source Format: Waveform Audio 32-bit Foating Point (IEEE)

My PC:

64-bit Windows 10 OS

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

32GB RAM

Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to let me know if you need more info, or screenshots to help. Thanks!

I believe that this is a newly introduced bug in AA 21.0.8.

There have been many reports of this issue already.

I can confirm the behaviour also.

Just revert to a previous version of the program.

The best format for audio to be imported in Flash and Animate has always been: 44100Hz 16-bit PCM WAV.
