I'm not sure the best way to decribe this problem but will give it a go. I've looked at all similar issues relating to not being able to record and haven't found one similar.
I have a fresh install of Audition 23.6.0.61 on Windows 11. When I hit record, the recording time seems to be about a tenth of real time. That is (for example) in 10 seconds of me counting, I will see the counter jump sporadically from say 102ms, 205ms, 298ms, 385ms, 490ms, 560ms, 701ms, 814ms, 958ms. Upon hitting stop, I supposedly have about 1s of recording. I have no waveform visible other than some small dots that appear to be about 1ms long at each of these intervals. Effectively, the recorded track is useless.
I have tried with a headset mic, internal mic, Rode NT-USB mic and all have the same result (tried in isolation with no other mics connected).
I've rebooted the computer, reinstalled audition, run with no other apps open, checked microphone pemissions are enabled, checked audio hardware preferences and mapping, checked that I'm not in timed record mode and checked sample rates match. All to no avail.
I am able to record audio with no problem in the default microsoft sound recorder app.
Please help!
I think I've found the solution. It could be a combination of the 2:
1. Audition updated to 20.6.1.3 over night. It still had a recording issue after this update though but was no longer doing the short bursts.
2. I unticked the setting in the microphone driver that said "Give exclusive mode applications priority"
Seems to be working fine now.
