Adobe Multitrack won't play back in multitrack

Report · Jun 16, 2025

I'm using a PC running Windows 10 Pro (will be updating to 11 at some point soon). Using Audition version 25.3.0.71 (a fresh update).

When I load up a session file, or open a new session file, playback (either via spacebar or mouseclick on "play" button) will not play. It responds my un-highlighting the tracks - indicating that the input has been received - but I cannot figure out why the multitrack is not playing back.

Hi. Here's a few things to try:

Make sure neither the track(s) nor the Master Track are set to muted.
Go into Audition's Preferences (on the Edit menu) and make sure you have the correct hardware selected for output.
Ensure no other software than can use audio is running, especially meeting software like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, etc.
Reboot your computer.
Try a brand new multitrack session, and record straight into one of the tracks. Does that play back?
Do the individual audio files play outside of multitrack mode?
